Money

Another time I am going to talk about something other than wilderness survival. In my last entry I stated that I saw the country going down the tubes. That was about two weeks ago and a lot has happened in that two weeks. If it looked like we were going down the tubes then, it is much worse now. More banks have failed, Wall Street is in a tizzy and Shrub and Paulson want $700 billion. Actually, there is no way that anything can be done short of a trillion. these are numbers I do not even comprehend. the time has come to start to really get serious about survival. You need to worry about not only your financial survival, but the very survival of your life.

Now is the time to hunker down and get ready. Do you have any money in the stock market? I do not and do not advise anyone to have any there either. Buy silver, buy gold, buy land, buy ammunition, buy food. These are the things that are going to put you through the upcoming depression. You read that correctly; I said depression, not recession. I have been preaching for over twenty years that the powers that be needed to let the economy go down. The sooner they would have done it the less it would have hurt. 1992 would have been a good time to let the economy fail. At that point it would have been a major recession or a very minor depression. There were also many other times since then that it would have been advantageous to let the economy go. Each time the downturn would have been a little worse than the time before, but we could have handled it. Each time the government found a way to prop it up and get us farther into debt. If they throw a trillion at it right now it will make it that much worse in a year or two. 

I believe that they are going to do it because it is an election year. The rule of politics is going to overrule the rule of common sense. Of course in the District of Craziness the rule of common sense does not exist. Here is the scenario I see. Shrub and Paulson get their trillion dollars and bail the big lenders out of this mess. Early in the new presidency, an even worse event will take place and there will be no fix to it. That is when the whole ball of wax will fall and the ship will hit the sand. At that point there will be runs on banks, food riots and many other riots and uprisings all over the country. This is what you need to be ready for. 

Now is the time to get out of the city and into a small town or the countryside. Now is the time to get your survival gear in shape and yourself as well. I have lost thirty pounds this year and am getting back to where I was earlier in life. I will be putting up more wood to heat with this year as the price of L.P. has skyrocketed this year. We are putting up more food and I am making more storage space. I am getting my ammo supply up to the max and doing all else to get my armament in shape. My pop-up camping trailer is loaded and ready to go if need be. However I feel that I can defend myself in my present location. My four grown children, their spouses and their children also know that they are welcome here and will be a great help in the defense of my area. There are many things in my past postings that you can go back over and look at. Learn as much as possible so that you can do as much as possible. 

I may sound cruel, but those that do not prepare and are not ready to fend for themselves are on their own as far as I am concerned. The ones that expect the government or someone else to take care of them are not welcome around me. Those who are doing their best and need a little hand to make it can always expect my help. I know that this has been just a lot of rambling but I am trying to get my thoughts together and will have a much better entry next week. Until then:
