Depression

The title says it all: "Depression". That is what I see coming soon and what I believe we should prepare for. At this moment I do not know whether the congress and our pretendsident can get a plan together to raise the debt ceiling. Nor do I believe that it should be raised. However, that being said, I believe that if it is not, we are facing a major catastrophe. The stock market is already getting jittery and the demlicans are making all kind of threats. B. Hussein O. is threatening not to pay our Social Security and not pay the military. Everyone that follows things like that know that there is enough money coming in to make all of those payments plus the interest payments on the debt. However, we do not know what the fasciunists will actually do, so here is what I am going to be doing and suggest that all of you do.

If you are on SS or any other type of government pay, save any money you may have on hand. Just in case they are rotten enough to stop the payments. Make sure your food supply is where it should be. If you have been following my suggestions you will have a one to two year supply of food on hand. My supply is a little low right now but will be right up to par once my garden comes in. If you have not raised a garden this year you may have some other way of obtaining food. I know that not everyone has the space available to raise a garden. Another thing I hope that those of you who could raise a garden did and that is to use at least a portion of Heirloom seeds. These are seeds that are not hybrid and you can save seeds from the produce you harvest. I do not have everything in heirloom yet but I have several of the most important staples covered.

Another thing to do is to have your weapons ready and have a good supply of ammo. I hope it does not come to that but there may be looting and stealing if peoples government checks are cut off. Be ready to protect yourself, whether you are in the city or the country. If you have a garden be ready to protect it. It may take a few weeks and then food will be at a premium. Food is going to be at a premium this year anyway because of the drought in the west and southwest. Cattle are being sold off at a rapid pace in the southwest and that will mean higher prices for beef. To me that means that I will have to do more hunting and fishing than normal and provide even more of my own meat.

At this point I do not know whether to tell you to be ready to bug out or not. I am not sure how bad it will get or how long it will last. It may be that the fasciunists that control the presidency and senate will just do enough to really irritate the people who depend on the government and hope to cause the sensible politicians (that is a contradiction in terms) to cave in.

Look at what you would need to live and try to anticipate what will happen if you do not have money. Can you pay an electric bill, purchase your LP, obtain water or any other necessities? What can you do without and what must you have? Just because you live in the country and have your own well, do not feel confident that you will have water. If your electricity is shut off, how would you get the water out of the well? Do you have a backup plan. The least you should have is several rain barrels so that you could use that water. You might have to purify the water you drink, but that is not that much of a problem. If you live in the country, do you have an electric stove for cooking? Do you have backup? I currently have two LP camp stoves and a Coleman fuel camp stove and plenty of fuel for all of them. I also have an antique kerosene cook stove that could be put into use if need be. I do not have a lot of kerosene, but could do some cooking. What kind of fuel do you use for heat? Do you have a backup for that? Here again, we heat with LP but have wood backup and I have five acres of woods. Actually about four acres is woods that could be cut while the other acre is house, yard and garden. We have added apple trees to our yard and that will help us in the future. this is the first year they are bearing so we will not get much from them but we have a tree out on DNR land that we know about. It was where there was an old farm that the state bought. The tree still produces and we have made all of our applesauce from it for the last two years.

Those are some of the things you need to think about if we go into a depression. As I said earlier in this blog, make sure your weapons are ready and you know how to use them. I hope that it does not come to that but fear that it might. If it does come to that it will be because someone in government wants it to. Just something else to use to get their own way. This country is currently a fasciunist country and will soon become a communist country if we do not do something about it. Get ready, keep your powder dry and remember, the USA is supposed to be a Representative Republic. We need to to whatever it takes to keep it that way. Prepare now and survive later. Check my other blog next week to see how I could get the government back on solid financial footing.

What Now?

What Now? That is the question I keep getting. Where are we headed? What should I prepare for? All of these are very good questions. I do not know the exact answer. I myself am preparing for many different scenarios. I look around and see what is going on and I know that something is going to come to a head. It could be natural disaster, it could be political, it could be financial or it could be war and possibly a combination of two or more of these situations. What I do is look at what I personally is the most likely in the near future and prepare for that. However, I do not neglect other scenarios. I try to keep to a balanced survival plan.

First of all I think we all need to get right with God. I believe that he is currently warning us that something big is about to happen. If you look around and see all of the natural disasters, wars, financial dips, unemployment and other things that are currently going on in the world, you have to believe that there is a higher power behind it. As I stated, I believe that God is trying to tell us to either straighten up or we are going to be in big trouble. I think that He is giving us warnings so that those of us who believe can get ready for all that is coming.

When you look around this country, you see that we have become a Godless, humanistic, atheistic bunch of people living just above the sewer of the world. I am not talking about everyone, but the majority of Americans are lacking any type of morals. We have homosexual and lesbian marriage in more and more places. Bible reading and prayer has been taken out of our schools. Pastors are preaching dominion theology, and social justice and positive thinking. they no longer teach God's word from the Holy Bible, many of teach the Oprah Winfrey type religion that everyone has their own god inside of them. So-called Christian pastors are teaching that all religions are good and can get you to heaven. They are teaching that Hindu meditation and Muslim's Allah are but a part of a giant worldwide religion and that no one of these religions is wrong and that we should all just get along and share one another's beliefs. They apparently have forgotten John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way the the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me". (ESV). That means that all of those pastors that say that there are many ways to get to heaven are calling Jesus a liar. I do not think I want to go there.

that leaves me getting ready for a great awakening that I believe God is going to bring on this country. I am currently learning to grow more and more of my own food. I am buying heritage seeds so that I can save seeds from the plants I grow. That way if I cannot get seed due to a shortage of money or some other reason, I can still grow my garden. I am practicing living on a different level that we now consider normal. I am upgrading my weapons and practicing more with them. I am foraging more for food so that I can get my own meat and other wild food if need be. In other words, I am practicing my survival skills more and more. I am where I intend to stay during any survival situation. However, my pop-up camper is sitting ready and loaded just in case. The items in the camper can be used here at home if I do as intended and stay here. They can also be used to keep us going if i have to bug out.

There are many things that can be done to get ready. Only you know where you are in your preparedness and what you need to do. Can you live without electricity? Can you grow or forage your own food? Are you properly armed and do you have the skill with weapons to protect yourself and your family? Can you keep yourself and your family healthy by practicing herbal medicine? Can you make it without an income? These and much more are questions that all of us must answer on our own.

As I stated in the beginning, I believe that God is warning us that something big is going to happen and those of us that believe in Him and prepare, can weather the storm. Two weeks from now, when I make my next entry in this blog, I will get back to specific survival skills but this week I wanted to warn everyone that I believe something is going to happen and it is going to happen soon. If I was to make a guess I would say that it will begin with a financial meltdown and get serious from there. We have a Muslim, or at least a Muslim sympathizer in the White House. He is also a Marxist and a Fasciunist, which is something that those of you who read my other blog would know about. I believe he is out to ruin this country so that he can bring it to at least a European style socialist state. I also believe that he is in favor of international and sharia law. These are the things that I believe will bring this to a head and will cause a survival situation. Get ready, get right with God and lock and load. Until next time, check out the political blog.
