A new poll from the Associated Press shows that a stunningly large portion of Americans are completely out of touch with the US government’s ability to manage a crisis on the scale of the Japanese nuclear disaster:
The Associated Press-GfK poll comes as Japan continues to struggle with a nuclear crisis caused by a March 11 earthquake and tsunami. The crippled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant has leaked radiation into the environment and radioactive water gushed into the Pacific Ocean. Japan was rattled by a strong aftershock and tsunami warning Thursday, but officials reported no immediate sign of new problems.
The poll finds that about a fourth of those surveyed were highly confident that the U.S. government is prepared to handle a nuclear emergency, while almost three-fourths were only somewhat or not confident.
But many people doubt such an emergency will happen in this country.
About three in 10 think such an emergency is extremely or very likely, compared with seven in 10 who think it is only somewhat or not likely. Among people who think a disaster is highly likely, almost eight in 10 lack confidence the government would be ready.
Even among those think it’s not too likely or not at all likely to happen, almost two-thirds still lacked confidence the government would be ready.

Inquiring minds are asking what the 25% of Americans who are highly confident that the US government could deal with such a disaster were doing in the days leading up to and after Hurricane Katrina, the massive flooding in the southeast in 2010, and the BP oil spill.
To be clear, the US government, like Japan’s government, is totally unprepared to effectively manage a widespread regional or national crisis. They have a hard enough time dealing with city-wide crises, as evidenced above.
FEMA admits that it is unable to handle a serious emergency, especially at the onset of such an unforeseen event:
Following a disaster, community members may be on their own for a period of time because of the size of the area affected, lost communications, and impassable roads.
It could be days or weeks depending on the severity of the event.
The 25% of people who are highly confident that the US government is prepared for a nuclear or other disaster are likely completely unprepared. Having this kind of blind confidence in a system that has proven time and again that it will fail under the pressure of an emergency because of the sheer number of people affected and the bureaucracies involved in emergency response is nothing short of lunacy.
And for the 70% of people who believe that such a disaster is not likely in the US, you’re simply not thinking rationally. A nuclear disaster has already happened on US soil. So, too, has a massive earthquake that literally wiped out an entire city in the early 20th century. Today, more than ever, we must consider the real possibility of man-made disasters. The fact of the matter is that corporations take short-cuts – it’s all about profits. This is one of the reasons why Fukushima has reached the level of severity it has, and it is clearly the reason why the BP oil rig sank. When there’s big money involved, the decision makers who are beholden to shareholders don’t really care what the effects of an environmental disaster may be. Nor, do they care about the fall out from a massive economic collapse so long as their pockets have been lined.
As a technologically advanced nation, we’ve become complacent about our ability to cope with far-from-equilibrium events. We see panicked people on television who have lost family members in an earthquake, Tsunami or other disaster, and we assume it can’t happen here. In reality however, crises don’t happen just on television. They happen to real people, all over the world, and they happen quite regularly.
Taking responsibility for oneself and family is absolutely critical in today’s day and age. The slightest glitch in the system could lead to serious implications for entire regions of the world, adversely affecting millions of people instantly. And when that glitch happens, you can be assured that those 25% who believe the government is prepared, or the 70% who don’t believe such a disaster is likely on US soil, will be the first ones knocking on your door if they know you’ve done your due diligence.

The federal government can’t even product a budget or live within their means.Â
What makes people think they can successfully help when a real disaster occurs?!
“Produce a budget” sorry, the eyes don’t work as well as they used to….ha-ha!
Survival of the Fittest. Weeding out the weak.
Well the 25% deserve whats coming to them. Those that think nothing could ever happen here deserve whats coming to them. Sorry but I`m clear out of compassion for the ignorant these days.
I believe the government it prepared for almost any emergency. They will take care of themselves and leave those of us outside the gilded halls will have to deal with everything else on our own. Figure they will just hunker down is some government facility and protect their own assets… Should we expect help from the government… hell no. They don’t care what the price of fuel is. We are paying their bill so it does not effect them.
What are you talking about? The government IS 100% prepared. I believe it was reported right on this website that they have ordered and stockpiled vast amounts of bodybags in preparation for an “emergency.” There. Do you feel better now?  Â
I think this is more a case that people stick their head in the sand when they don’t believe there is much they can do about it.
Sure, you can have a basement, some KI tablets or seaweed, stock up on food and water, but all that seems like a lot of work.
I think they have proved that they are completely incompetent, and with that ,we the people should no longer fund them.
or at least be given that option
No..im completely serious
wow….it really is true. You can’t fix stupid. I’m not the brightest light in the harbor, but even I can see the forest through the trees!
Im with NMCB3, my give a damn’s busted for the ignorant. Even for my “friends” that laugh at me and compare me to a Y-2K’er.
the GOV’T may be…. FEMA? not so much.
The problem is that the majority of people still believe in what the major networks tell them. They don’t open their own eyes and see that those agencies no longer have much true news reporters. They have spin doctors who are employed by the far left who want to see this nation become communist and part of the New World Order headed by China, Russia, Brazil and the League of Islamic Nations.
Socialism and communism are the same thing. And they are not American.
I always judge the mood of the mainstream by my father-in-law (wealthy New England professor). And he is as cool as a cucumber and says the government will just inflate things away. The day I see him panic will be the day I believe the mainstream are starting to get worried. Until then, it is back to Snooky, Dorittos and porn.
And when that glitch happens, you can be assured that those 25% who believe the government is prepared, or the 70% who don’t believe such a disaster is likely on US soil, will be the first ones knocking on your door if they know you’ve done your due diligence.
 They can knock on my door til their knuckles bleed, they’ll get no hand out here.
My wife works managing an office full of nurses assisting injured workers get their treatments so they can get back to work. Â During the whole “bird flu” scare, they, and all the other medical treatment centers in the area, were told point blank by the feds that “in the event of a major pandemic, there is no help coming from the federal government”.
Â
I would advise that part of your preps include creating yourself a first class first aid kit. Â I know that it may be tempting to just buy one off the internet, but you won’t get all the stuff you need in even the highest priced kits. Â Make friends with a nurse and tell them you want a real kit up to handling injuries up to and including (bear mauling, gunshot wounds, massive third degree burns, crushing and amputation injuries, compound fractures, and so forth). Â Tell the nurse (or EMT) that you need the kit for your cabin which is several hours from the nearest road or town. Â You also need some medical texts in hard copy. Â A medical dictionary and the AMA’s medical encyclopedia would be good places to start, but that is by no means a complete list.
What color of bags Rusty? I’ve seen 10K b bags loaded up on a ship years ago.
I like this site but some of you don’t realize your lack of critical thinking skills. Â while most of you agree fema and the gov are woefully incompetant when it comes to disasters, you will then turn around and argue vehemently that a well coordinated, and most likely seamless enforcement of martial law and fema camps are right around the corner!!!!! so which is is, you can’t have it both ways
Comments…..i side with nmcb3 and nunjobizness…i am sick up to my eyeballs with the ignorant..and i no longer give a rats’ ass what happens to the ignorant….the ignorant have made it clear what their choices are…so be it. my door is locked and bolted against their horde when they do find themselves in deep kimche.
I don’t believe it. Our government is totally dysfunctional. Not really works in America. Not the justice system, law enforcement non of it. You really don’t realize it until you have to use these system. It is disheartening and tragic.
Wake up America. It’s time…

My daughter is a critical care RN in the Emergency Room of a local Trauma
Center. I have helped a couple of the doctors there, who are preparing for tough times ahead, to get their ARs tricked-out, tuned up and zeroed in. I can get script for anything that they are able to write them for as well as bunches of the free samples that the big pharma sales reps deliver by the boxfull.
If you don’t already have a close friend who is a doctor; then I would damn sure see about making one quickly.
I need to get me a little nap now for the anticipated activity later tonight.The wife and I were over to ‘Wally World’ this afternoon for more T/P, paper towels, razors, floss, tooth paste, etc. If the Federal-F–ked-up-Government does shut down tonight @ 12:01 AM; I will be out the door @ 12:02 AM and headed back to stock up on some final canned-goods purchases and to get the gas cans filled before sun-up.
God Bless & good luck to all who post here. Gotta go now; the ‘voices’ have just kicked-in and are telling me to start loading magazines.
I called up my broker the other day. Never met him but he always has time to chat when I can get through. He always takes a 1.5% commision when I buy & sends me a bill in the mail. He trusts me I guess? He’s old and old fashion (he calls it wise). Keeps all the info on a 5×7 card instead of a computer. I don’t mind. I even send him X-mas gifts and he thanks me or the boss. Says he has my best interest in heart. I believe him. He goes on a lot vacations, I don’t mind. Says he’s in his golden years. They say brokers make you broke. I don’t know. I like him, really I do. He’s my PM’s broker. I wish he was my neighbor.
Just hit the MONEX web site; gold is currently listed at $1,475.00 an oz. and silver is up to $40.95 an oz. Tell me that people aren’t worried. Just watch what happens to PM prices if the idiots in DC actually do shut down the government.
Comments…..+1 right there with you madmarkie.
2011 will be known as the summer of discontent,……..
Ths “SHTF” is now here…… coming to a place near you !!!!! NOW !!!!!!!!
!!!!! NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great comments. My wife works in a jewelry store. They mostly sell PM’s. She said it was absolutely nuts today.  Put those FRN’s into something. MadMarkie is right on.   I don’t understand why it’s such a big deal if the guberment shuts down. Who cares?
I too have some folks that think I’m nuts. When they show up at my door, the first six win a survival goodie bag – 5 matches, 5 lbs of rice and a roll of toilet paper. If they come back they better have something in trade. If not, they best leave the compound.
I accidently hit the delete button and my highly intellegent comment dissapeared. So did my house and most of my left leg. Wow! that’s one heck of a delete button…so I’ll try again:
Silver is at $40.95 oz Yipppeee! You all know what that means? We can now get 4 (count em, four) fresh crisp new $10 federal reserve notes for each and every ounce!
Seriously though, nobody with half a brain would expect the gov to respond to any major event with anything but their usual CYA tactics-which benefits no one but themselves. Mac said it best in the closing statement of the article: taking responsibility for ourselves is critical. While there’s still a bit of time left we should be trying to enlighten those that we can. Let’s not give up on ’em yet. There are still probably a few latecomers who would begin to prep once they’ve seen the obvious. Then when the s truly has htf the door is closed. At that point I’m with NMCB3 and the rest. I am a Christian so I’ll do and give whatever I can spare. Key word:spare. I won’t jeopardise my family’s survival for the sake of the ones who remained stupid right up til the end…
Oh, and don’t forget, even while trying to spread the word, that we all better be paying close attention to OPSEC. Nuff said.Â
I can recall reading about the last time the Washington folks took a “Spanish pause”.World didn’t at all.Nope,life went on just fine.In fact,It might not be a half bad idea,if you think on it.Say for about one week out of every other month.Cost of government would fall precipitously,The deficit would go down, fast,The NSA folks “protecting us” at airports would need to start looking for a different line of work.The Defense Dept.just might be forced to close their bases overseas(for lack of regular checks).If you can’t pay the troops overseas,they will need to be sent back too! And we wouldn’t have to listen to the REPOCRATS give their tired worn-out spiels.NAFTA and the “most favored nation status”for China would become worthless.
I too,bought mass quantities of TP.If you have enough,you could make up any shortfall in your
“survival” supplies to ride out this mess in style!Could even be the new currency for a time!Happened in the U.S.S.R. when it first fell apart.World didn’t end back there either.Just the start of a new paradigm for area. Food for thought.
Best to all
GFG
And why would several generations of socialized babes in goyland believe any differently, after having their surrogate politburo parents employ, feed, educate and subsidize them in nearly every aspect their wonderful lives. Surely father Fagin would not be ill prepared to protect them as well.

Time to pay the check for the devil’s bargain of trading one’s virtuous independent character for comfort, security and material excess — with one’s lives! The souls already in escrow, long ago.

New screenplay smuggled out of hollyweird:
Working title- The Wizard of Ozbama. Characters- (1)Joe Citizen, a mostly sane regular guy. Tries to be a good neighbor but also minds his own business. He’s not easily fooled by media driven malarky. (2)Sam Sheeple, usually well-meaning but dim witted, works? for the government, watches lots of tv and believes everything he sees. Opening scene:Sam’s front yard. He’s holding a hose, watering his wifes geraniums and doesn’t seem to realise his house is on fire. Joe comes running over…
JC: Sam! Your house is on fire!
SS: Yeah you may be right. I’ll check it out soon as I finish watering the flowers.
JC: No! Listen to me! Your house is burning…!
SS: You know, Louise and I have been thinking about getting aluminum siding for the ‘ol place. Kinda dress it up. What do you think Joe?
JC: (grabs his collar and shakes him) Sam! Turn the hose on the house! I’m gonna go call 911…(sprints away)
SS: Well, maybe we’ll go with the vinyl siding instead. I hear it’s just as good…and maybe some new shutters…Joe, where you going? Stick around, we’re gonna charcoal some burgers later. You can stay and watch Idol with us…Joe?
Fade out to sound of sirens in distance and music (Jimi Hendrix-All Along the Watchtower)….
Are you kidding me? One whiff of a pandemic, one siren warning of
incoming, and the powers that be (TPTB) are all headed into their
shelters.  Average citizens? Left on your own, most likely to die.
After the ‘all clear’ is given, the ‘elite’ will slowly emerge, but the
devastation will most likely be complete. Bodies everywhere.
Chances are, even if you stock up on food, you either won’t be
hungry, because of radiation sickness, or some flu pandemic, or
you won’t have time to pack it (yellowstone blows it’s cork)Â or you
won’t have more than 2 or 3 days until you die from heat exposure
(solar flare). Do you run? Do you hit the bunker? Man, when TSHTF
who knows what it’ll be? You can TRY to prepare for every eventuality,
but, like I said, the elite will most likely just find one more body, yours.
Comments…..
For any of you that truly believe the .gov has YOUR best interests at heart, please do a study of the cold war and how many bomb shelters they built for the public. They built for themselves massive underground castles, while building barely enough shelters for 10% of the public. Their idea is for us to die off as quickly as possible in massive amounts. Cleansing of the gene pool through catastrophe.
Comments…..
I remember reading an account that implied to the reader the govt. didn’t have the 3 days of wheat/grain in the silos for every family like thought by all…..well, not by me!!
And I always wondered—what the hell am I gonna do with a basket of wheat??? or corn….grinder anyone???
Contrary to what many people believe and joke about, the gubmint is not incompetent. It is much worse than that. They not only do not care about citizens, but would like many of us to die, preferably as soon as we are unable to pay into their system. They tolerate the slackers as long as we are paying the bill. Only a complete idiot would have any faith in gubmint.
One problem with their preparations which are being made at out expense is that if enough of us are gone, there is nothing left for them to rule over. Then they have the issue of loyalty from their minions. Are they quite sure that an end of world situation that  their underlings would not turn on them and keep everything for themselves? After all the underlings would have the guns because most politicians are incapable of doing even the most basic tasks themselves.
This outcome would do the rest of us no good unless the underlings pushed the “lords” out to face the survivors. Even this outcome would not really improve the lot of the average Joe, but would provide a little entertainment on the way out.
There is little doubt that a vast majority of our populous hasn’t got a clue. If they have a problem, they call 911. If they are hungry, they go to Jack in the box. If their car is on empty, they go to the gas station. And now these days, it’s as plain as the nose on their faces and yet they ignore its impending presents. This is called Normalcy Bias. And our family isn’t immune either. Our kids think we are absolutely nutts. Prepping, food, loads of it. Fuel, generators, tools, guns, ammunition, medical supplies, chickens, seeds, parts, oil, fasteners and the list goes on. Its going to be pitiful when this goes down.. there are going to be a lot of people suffering due to their own ignorance. God pity them.
 The people in the cities are in a baaaad place.
From what I have read the first 2 weeks are going to be the roughest. Looting, shootings, armed gangs, killings wholesale. Desperate hungry people will anything “anything†in desperate times.  You have a choice, right now today, prepare now or end up as fertilizer later. Crude but to the point.

I had done my time… stood my watch upon the wall; a Guardian of Liberty… and after a fall… now a Stone Cold Cop Killer?  Running from the Amerikan Fascist Traitorous Law… why? why? why?

You are Many! We are Few… MORE FOR US! None for You!
I am a Disabled Veteran… I once Served My Country with Honor and Pride.
I Murdered Killed a NWO U.N. blue NAFTA DHS Cop Today… why? why? why?
 I had robbed the local Korean corner store… while the radio on the shelf played “Bye Bye American Pie”… I’d only pocketed a milk, hot pocket and a pie… ran by the Screaming Korean Clerk for the open sky… hopped on my ex Asshole Psycho Neighbors kid pink huffy bike… peddling in a crazed manic flight… hauling fast down the lane… making my one handed get away… thinking “bye bye american pie”… smiling in mirth… while with my other hand grabbing from my shirt, a half frozen Hot Pocket… then a crushed Moon Pie… shovin’ an munchin both in a hunger frenzy… my adrenaline and sugar high now kicking me into Over-Drive… I had gotten away … then I swore… “SHIT!”… crumbs dribbling down my beard… I thought to myself; I shoulda done like Ben Bernanke… acted like a greedy shifty Banker whore and taken more, more, more… for you see – IT’s ALL ABOUT ME! When I’m HUNGRY!
Then down the way… my calves screaming in pain… I slowed down… a mistake… an A.P.B. an All Points Bulletin – had gone out – “All Patrols Be On The Look Out for a Crazed Long Haired Bearded Hippy Hobo Bum, Riding a Stolen Hot Pink Huffy Bike Down Main Street!â€; I’m screwed now… a NWO U.N. Blue NAFTA DHS Cop car pulled up behind, tires screeching… siren blaring , lights a twirling, screaming over the horn “PULL THE FUCK OVER!”
At that time… I “Snapped†grinned an said to myself “Screw It!” an thought “I’m homeless cold and hungry”… “This Asshole Cop isn’t gonna do me like “Rodney King”!  “The NWO U.N. IMF Greedy Banker Fuckers did this to me!”… “It is either Him or Me!†I skidded to a stop “swiiishhhh!”… planted my worn out combat boots upon the cool concrete of the street… reached into my sweat soiled pants waist… an pulled my cold heavy .45 Glock like slow dead weight… fingers numb… pointed and leveled it at the windshield of the NWO U.N.

Empty inside… now that I had unleashed all my NWO New World Order – Bilderberg Debt Slave Hate!
I simply stood astride my stolen pink huffy steed… staring dead pan at the car’s brown vinyl covered rear seat, red blood, white bone chips and grey pink brain matter splattered over it. Staring through the shattered windshield and GAPING cavernous blood red hole that had been, Officer Friendly’s Red Raging New World Order U.N. blue NAFTA DHS Cop Face.

Hammerhead, so what your trying to say is the cities will be a target rich environment? Were going to have a good time here Goose!
@Morpheus: I read the link regarding American Revolution 2.0. dont like it. won’t help solve thep roblem. direct democracy doesn’t work in large societies. I’m in favor of keeping the republic. The issue is really putting hte federal government back into it constitutionally-defined box, and letting the states act as mini-soveriegns within the Federal system. Starting to see quite a bit of this lately, fortunately. Things are a mess, but while I prepare for the worst (owning PMs, defensives, food, water, and networking with like-minded people), I’m becoming optomistic that we’ll get through this one.
CRAP!!! Now I gotta go and unload all of those magazines!!!!! Good thing that I kept the boxes and didn’t bust open any spam cans.
Let me see if I got this situation straight. The nitwits in DC wanted to interrupt the pay to our military? Most of them are there only because the Acme Widgit Co. in their home closed down and the jobs were all shipped over to China and they can’t find a job any place else in their local communities. If they have a wife and one child, they are already on food stamps and utilizing the local food pantry to get by and make it to the end of the month. So we want them to continue to do their ‘duty’ in Iraq and Afghanistan and worry about whether their families are eating back home or if the lights and heat are still turned on???
Don’t the nitwits realize that these are the folks with all the weapons that they are getting ready to do their families ‘down-&-dirty’??? I am somewhat surprised that there hasn’t been a military coup and takeover in this country a long time ago. This serves to give me some hope that our military might stand with the people when the S finally does HTF; rather than blindly following the orders of the politicos when they tell the military to kill us. Hope does spring eternal.
Of course, I am a lot like the little kid who comes home from school and finds a great big pile of pony crap there in the middle of his bedroom. I am not thinking about the ‘licking’ that I know that I am going to get for the mess on the bedroom floor ……. cause I know that there has to be a pony somewhere to have created that great big pile of crap.
Everybody take care, God Bless and please enjoy your weekend.
We turn our backs on our liberty, our values and our principals. We are drunk on pop culture.
Folks, we are in for troubling times. I hope you’re prepared. I hope you have food, water and p/m.
The time now is not for enjoying, not for time in front of the tv and there’s no time for meaningless arguments.
It’s time to finish prepping. Take inventory, and have a plan. Mental preparation is just as important.
My spouse says… why do you think this is going to happen? and I reply… why do you think this is not going to happen? No answer…………………………………. So I just continue.
You only have yourselves to rely on. Only YOU can save yourself and the ones around you. Do not count on any entity or individual or you will suffer and probably even die!
Sober up people – It’s Time! The Time Is Now!
I wish you the best!Â

I like what Man Up said.
All you addicts of varying degrees: aren’t you able to smile without being high? Aren’t you still able to feel all manner of happiness without having to indulge in vice?
You will need to give up the addiction. The world ending is actually doing you a favor because it is forcing you to face something you otherwise would have ignored forever. Things being too easy for too long is what does the great in.
Welcome to Acirema- press 1 to change my language, press 2 to crash my currency, press 3 to change my religion, press 4 to make me die and leave you my whole damn country…
Okay, I apologize. The screenplay comment was lame and it will never happen again(til next time). I promise.
What amazes me about the above article (see, sometimes I can actually reference the article) is that ONLY 25% think the gov could manage a nuclear (nook-ya-ler for those in Midland, Tx)disaster such as Japans. I would have guessed the number at 2 or 3 times that. Seriously, folks. Look around you. America is now Backwardsland. Illegal aliens break into our country but once they’re here they have “rights.” Multiculturalism is now a good thing. Just because the sum total of human history shows that 2 or more cultures have NEVER peacefully coexisted in the same location doesn’t mean we can’t make it happen here. And “spending cuts” means we raise the level of spending, just not as much as we had planned to raise it. That’s a “cut.” Oh, and the laws of mathematics can easily be suspended if enough people go to a protest. (Wisconsin). Just because there’s no money doesn’t mean we can’t shout loud enough to magically turn “not enough” into “enough.” See how it all works? Just sprinkle some pixie dust, click your heels and repeat “there’s no place like hope and change” and…presto! You’re in Backwardsland! Now, our honest and helpful government will be there whenever we need them. And instead of screwing up a disaster and making it worse, like they always have before, now they’ll make it all better! And they’d never go fight a war except against those mean ol’ bad guys that genuinely needed a butt-kicking….It’s all true: a little extra radiation is good for you, Elvis really ain’t dead, and your ex-girlfriend does still want to be “friends.” And best of all- the main course for tonight’s dinner is: desert! Ain’t acirema great?!
After I press 1234, do IÂ get to press the # sign.
    There are a great many of on the money comments. “Man Up” says it all in a few lines. “Allenols” you are getting thru to a few. It must be satisfying.  Hope you follow some ‘OPSEC”. “Anonmous” @ 2:23 makes a good point, still wouldn’t trust them with my life. Â
    My comment is in regards to the speed which an economic crises can happen. On Friday alone the fall of the ‘DX’ thru 75 could just as easily gone to 70 and the $10 incease in gold and $1 increase in silver might have gone up $100 and $10 each.Â
    Are your PM’s in a safety deposit and your FRN’s locked up in a bank with the “Bank Holiday” sign on the door?? Just asking. The government is BROKE. No FDIC to help you.
    Optomistic?? Pessimistic??  Just take responsibility for yourself and family. Time is not our side.  Just get prepared!!  Be Well
@Bill – That is awesome idea, first 6 get a survival bag, 5lbs of rice, box of matches and TP, love it! Think I’ll implement a similar deal but only for those that I know. Can’t have my “can’t happen here” family thinking I’m a complete jerk. Works out good cause I put my rice into 5 or 10lb packages so I don’t open up 25lbs+ bags.
@MadMarkie – Keep the magazines loaded, doesn’t harm the springs like people think. Shot magazines that were loaded 20 years ago and they work just fine. Talking 7.62×51 rounds here too, pretty heavy with 20 rounds in a magazine (M1A configured as a DMR). Magazine has been reloaded and worked again like a charm. So now I keep all my magazines fully loaded can capped (dust cap).

Just a heads up.
I don’t even bother trying to “enlighten” anybody. If they are not doing something for themselves already, they are not going to do anything.
I know people who are going on vacations several times a year, boating, etc. but probably do not have two days of food (and no water) on hand. I recently saw one of these have to go to the grocery and buy some burgers and hot dogs to grill out that same evening. This family’s idea of being ready is to have the pizza man on speedial. In an emergency they could always eat their Ipads and boat (not even a good fishing boat).
It would be less frustrating to try to convince my sofa to prepare for an emergency.
Yea, you mean after whats been happening the last 30 years, there’s still people out there that still have confidence in big government? Ha ha ha hee ah haha. Hey fella,  I’m sorry but I can’t help but laugh.

  It may not be very long before you will be saying that you knew some people who were going on vacations several times a year, boating, etc. but didn’t have two days of food (and no water) on hand. those people wil be the first to parish.

I had done my time… stood my watch upon the wall; a Guardian of Liberty… and after a fall… now a Stone Cold Cop Killer?  Running from the Amerikan Fascist Traitorous Law… why? why? why?

You are Many! We are Few… MORE FOR US! None for You!
I am a Disabled Veteran… I once Served My Country with Honor and Pride.
I Murdered Killed a NWO U.N. blue NAFTA DHS TSA Cop Today… why? why? why?
 I had robbed the local Korean corner store… while the radio on the shelf played “Bye Bye American Pie”… I’d only pocketed a milk, hot pocket and a pie… ran by the Screaming Korean Clerk for the open sky… hopped on my ex Asshole Psycho Neighbors kid pink huffy bike… peddling in a crazed manic flight… hauling fast down the lane… making my one handed get away… thinking “bye bye american pie”… smiling in mirth… while with my other hand grabbing from my shirt, a half frozen Hot Pocket… then a crushed Moon Pie… shovin’ an munchin both in a hunger frenzy… my adrenaline and sugar high now kicking me into Over-Drive… I had gotten away … then I swore… “SHIT!”… crumbs dribbling down my beard… I thought to myself; I shoulda done like Ben Bernanke… acted like a greedy shifty Banker whore and taken more, more, more… for you see – IT’s ALL ABOUT ME! When I’m HUNGRY!
Then down the way… my calves screaming in pain… I slowed down… a mistake… an A.P.B. an All Points Bulletin – had gone out – “All Patrols Be On The Look Out for a Crazed Long Haired Bearded Hippy Hobo Bum, Riding a Stolen Hot Pink Huffy Bike Down Main Street!â€; I’m screwed now… a NWO U.N. Blue NAFTA DHS Cop car pulled up behind, tires screeching… siren blaring , lights a twirling, screaming over the horn “PULL THE FUCK OVER!”
At that time… I “Snapped†grinned an said to myself “Screw It!” an thought “I’m homeless cold and hungry”… “This Asshole Cop isn’t gonna do me like “Rodney King”!  “The NWO U.N. IMF Greedy Banker Fuckers did this to me!”… “It is either Him or Me!†I skidded to a stop “swiiishhhh!”… planted my worn out combat boots upon the cool concrete of the street… reached into my sweat soiled pants waist… an pulled my cold heavy .45 Glock like slow dead weight… fingers numb… pointed and leveled it at the windshield of the NWO U.N. NAFTA blue Patrol Car… looking the Cop dead in the eye… I recognized him, he use to be nice to me, always smiling when we met on the street… Officer Friendly, now wearing NWO camo green Combat Gear, with U.N. sky blue Patches… once our neighborhood hero… here to “Protect and Serve”… now no more… now he is a DHS Federalized Thug… a NWO U.N. NAFTA blue Storm Trooper Whore… ordered by our illegal alien false president obama to “Punish and Enslave!”
And while the innocent curious child side of me… kept asking… “why, why, why ?”… the newly found grown up tired Stone Cold Cop Killer in me… didn’t bat an eye… I aimed an pulled the trigger BLAM BLAM BLAM 1,2,3… It was HIM or ME you MUST see… I emptied the entire clip right through the windshield… into the NWO U.N. blue NAFTA DHS Whore’s red screaming face!!!
Empty inside… now that I had unleashed all my NWO New World Order – Bilderberg Debt Slave Hate!
I simply stood astride my stolen pink huffy steed… staring dead pan at the car’s brown vinyl covered rear seat, red blood, white bone chips and grey pink brain matter splattered over it. Staring through the shattered windshield and GAPING cavernous blood red hole that had been, Officer Friendly’s Red Raging New World Order U.N. blue NAFTA DHS TSA Cop Face.
Humming to myself “BYE BYE AMERICAN PIE”… thinking “I’m still Hungry!â€

Based on the amount of sheep in this country…I am surprised this percentage isn’t much higher…
25% is not that shocking. My neighbors think the government will “be there to help its people” if something terrible should happen. Talk about sheeple! Last year there was serious flooding in the town next door and my neighbors were surprised to learn the government hadn’t stepped in to help. I think most sheeple believe “everything will be just fine” and there is nothing to worry about.
I, on the other hand, have been busy prepping and ensuring that those close to me (who have brought it up) are directed to the proper resouces and are learning quickly by their own interest how to prep. I do not make it known that I am a prepper until the people asking have made it clear by their actions that they are seriously taking steps to get prepared themselves since that would be a nightmare for my family if the SHTF.
I can just picture the people who showed an interest in prepping but who were not serious in a SHTF situation. I think it would go, “We know that so and so has emergency supplies, well I think we should head straight there. They surely have enough to take care of us too.”I do not advertise that I am a prepper to anyone not close to me or that is not serious about prepping themselves. The people who are aware are prepared to take care of themselves, and the sheeple, well, what can I say? We all know how that movie ends…
Doesn’t the sheep out number the people in New Zealand? Too bad it’s the other way around in the cities here.
In America we don’t solve problems anymore. We like to complain and that’s it. Wake up America. It’s time to regroup.“THE REVOLUTION HAS STARTED”

FIGHT THE CAUSE – NOT THE SYMPTOM
“Spread the News”
Comments…..like i have been saying over and over again, the shit hit the fan a good while back…and the velocity of the shit is speeding up and before ya know it folks are gonna be sitting in the dark, with their stomachs growling, and trying to decide if it is safe to step outside of their hovel and try to find food, gas, or a helping hand.
Wow, Ag up this evening and Au down. 35:1. Cats & dogs sleeping together. Keep fooling yourself dims.
@ Mike L –
I too have taken magazines that have been loaded for years out to the range. They have always fed flawlessly for me also; never had a failure to feed yet.
What is the longest that you have let a loaded magazine sit around before firing it? Mine were loaded for 3 – 4 years before I used them.
Where did this crazy rumor get started? Those who have encountered any sort of issues must have been using some really cheap magazines with some really cheap springs.
The same thing with ammo, if it is stored properly. I recently picked up some boxes of 7.62 x 39 manufactured in Russia in the early 70s; almost 40 years old. No issues.
Was watching the history channel Sunday morning. They ran a special on a SHTF Â apocalypse scenario involving a worldwide pandemic. Interesting! They hit the nail on the head, believe it or not. Lock and load!!!!
I think it is funny that people are asking whether or not the government is prepared for a disaster.
The government IS the disaster. It works precisely as intended for those seeking to control it. For those who believe it is legitimate and support it by paying tribute (to the IRS), it’s a disaster.
The other thing that is funny is that so many people believe the government determines their fate. Because they believe it, it becomes the truth to them.
I don’t know what is going to happen in the future, but I am 100% sure that any government intervention in anything, disaster or otherwise, will lead to the problems incompetence brings in any endeavor.
It is without doubt that there are those who seek to control the government, but incompetence can not be controlled. Nor can millions of armed and hungry people.
Gods Creation- I agree, gov is the disaster. But one little question: are they incompetent, or do things happen exactly as they want them to? Seems to be a bit of contradiction there. Anonymous brought up the same thing about similar comments a couple days ago. I’m not trying to nit-pick, just want to understand. By the way, I always read your comments carefully and I appreciate them. You add a lot to this discussion, thanks. 🙂
And now: silver broke over $41 today! Whee, aint this fun? Reminds me of the time I got on the roller coaster at the fair and the guy operating it was drunk as a skunk- that was an incredible ride! The end of the ride wasn’t quite as much fun, but most of us survived…Unfortunately the fat girl sitting next to me fell off and landed on the operator. They didn’t make it (moment of reverent silence please….)
They probably went back to his RV & made it there.
Actually silver went up to 42 this morning overseas then the shorts ripped into it so they could short it then go long leveraging it.
