I just stumbled upon this particular forum. I'm just confused on whom you think we are supposed to be preparing to fight against. Is it the government? If so, which part? Is it specific racial groups? It doesn't seem to be very clear what, exactly, you think the threat is and, when the shooting and bombing starts, whom we are supposed to kill. Who is exactly is threatening our way of life so much that we have to get ready for doomsday?

As a matter of fact, I'm not even sure who the "we" is who are supposed to be getting prepared.

Happy: Great post. I agree its worse today, simply because they are attacking the govt. the police themselves, and the authorities are not reacting. The 60's 70's protesters were bad, they'd throw rocks and bottles, but not setting up snipers to shoot police. That's almost civil war. Its almost like the govt. is apologizing for being there. And the media is useless. The first story I saw this morning failed to admit is was a BLM rally or that any of the suspects were black. Everyone is afraid to sound prejudiced or racist for pointing out the race of the people who are involved in crimes if they are a minority. Its a bad situation over all and I don't see any leadership moving to change the course of events. I'm not a preppier, but I also don't want to be near any groups of people that might be hazardous to my or my families health.

Really? Give me a break and get over yourself.


Exactly right!!!

It amazes me how some folks can completely dismiss the current deficit, unemployment/underemployment of millions, drugs and the stoner zombies drugs create, lack of opportunity for our kids, the poor education system, the racial divisions fomented and encouraged by the current regime, illegal immigration, rioting, terrorism, (foreign and domestic), breakdown of equal protection/prosecution of the law, (see Hillary getting away with murder)and think that natural disasters are the only "real" threat.

Please elaborate. I'm new to this thread, and am not a prepper, but recent events have got me rattled. I want to know more.

We have two major groups:
[] Harmless productive people, versus
[] Harmful predatory people.

Boils down to “Victims” versus “Perpetrators.”

Victims have something wanted by perpetrators - property, liberty, or just plain labor.

The perpetrators want their own needs met by other people’s labor, property, or they wish to rule others - eradicating their liberty and freedom of action.

Perpetrators / Predators are among us, in various forms and disguises. In fact, it is common knowledge that the most vocal opponents of immorality, evil and vice are often covert practitioners. In short, they’re hiding their evil by mingling with the innocent as camouflage.

And it is more likely that predators will use innocent but useful idiots to do their fighting and conquering. It’s no fun being shot at!

Based on the mass media, we should expect the conflict between: the “left versus right”, “rich versus poor”, “unions versus corporations,” and “old versus young”. The left wing denounces the “greedy capitalist”. The right wing denounces the “spendthrift collectivist”.

Any group that can be used to foment a schism is fair game - illegal aliens, homosexuals, racial subgroups, and religions.

But they’re just ideological cannon fodder.

Who are on the roster for known predators?
[] Usurers - masters of money madness
[] Collectivists - slavers and thieves, using government as their instrumentality
[] Islam - A political system of totalitarianism masquerading as a religion

These three “teams” are almost mutually exclusive.
• Islam forbids usury, and is opposed to all other religions and governments.
• Collectivists abhor religions that teach “Thou shalt not steal” and are ideologically opposed to usurers (“capitalist bankers and corporations”).
• Usurers don’t care about religion or politics as long as they can “control” the money system, and take their skim via perpetual debt.

My “Skeptic” button is being pressed by the way people are being led to “join up” with various predatory groups, and not cooperate in the mutual defense of property rights from ALL predators.

I think “they” are planning a conflagration, and want YOU to take sides, and fight on “their” behalf.

Best Advice - if they have a war, don’t participate. You may have to establish yourself in a rural location, where you’re not likely to be of any strategic value, and wait it out.

All they were doing in St. Louis and Oakland, was closing down freeway exit ramps, and out comes the pepper spray!

If you notice the occasional protests/violence in France, like what's happening right now over there, the French government is much more tolerant of that kind of behavior. From what I've read, the French Gov't views it as therapeutic for its citizens.

That's the kind of attitude we need in this country! Let the protesters close down a freeway for a full day, for God's sakes! We'd survive it, a temporary halt to our workaholism in this country!
Well, well what a difference a month makes huh? Some of the protests last night got violent in a few cities. More is planned for tonight, it's being called "the weekend of rage".

Remember the foolish comments you made when Martial Law is enacted.

Just for a comparison!
I live in LA and we were under Martial Law for about 4 days. Such fun, you had to be in your house before it got dark. The supermarkets were low on food, never saw such long lines like that ever. The city was in a frenzy. People weren't stopping at red lights, it was surreal and scary.

What a foolish comment to say nothing can ever compare to the 1965 and 1992 riots here. How about several cities having riots at once? Kind of got a taste of that last night.

After the WTC bombing in 1993, some said what else could happen that could be worse, well we found on 9/11 didn't we?

You're very naïve to say the least.

if SHTF does happen, if you start killing indiscriminately, then you will have nobody but yourself to blame when someone takes you out.

best thing to do when SHTF is to lay low and bide your time. secure yourself and your home and ride most of it out.

but you should stop talking about taking people out like you are saying, it makes people here think that you are a government plant or a flaming troll of a liberal out to get a rise out of people.
