The US has always been a famously optimistic country. From our beginning, rebelling against the greatest empire the world has ever seen in a bold attempt to gain independence, we’ve always looked to a brighter future.
Through our history millions of people have come to what they see as a land of opportunity. The American Dream – the idea that if we work had we can succeed – is one of the key threads that runs through our culture.
How optimistic are you feeling now, though? Does it look as if the US is headed onward and upward to a brighter future? Or do you have an uneasy feeling that the American Dream is on the edge of collapsing into a nightmare?
If you do, and you’re looking for reassurance, I’m sorry to say I can’t give you any. We’re not past the point of no return yet, but there’s evidence all around us that points to this country being in a dangerously unstable condition.
We could manage to turn things around – but right now we’re heading in the wrong direction.
A House Divided
These states don’t feel very united right now. In fact this country might be more divided than it’s been at any time since Richmond fell to US troops in 1865. Our politics have become terrifyingly partisan.

Decades ago, in the golden age of the 1950s, the Republicans wanted to build a prosperous by cutting federal taxes and letting people keep more of their money.
The Democrats wanted to build a prosperous nation by using federal law to give people more rights at work.
OK, that’s simplifying it a little, but both parties wanted pretty much the same sort of country; they just had different ideas – and, really, not that different – about how to get there.
Look at things now. Some moderate politicians still exist (and they get elected, so some people still like what they’re saying) but overall political debate has swerved wildly towards the extremes.
We live in a society that’s financed by reckless borrowing, constantly kicking the can down the road and pretending the day the world won’t lend us money anymore is never going to arrive.
Along with crazy, extreme ideas comes a level of political hatred that’s hard to comprehend. Just a generation ago, we tended to think people who didn’t share our political views were wrong but basically well-meaning.
Now, if you don’t hold exactly the right set of constantly changing and ever more extreme opinions, you’re literally evil. You’re heartless, selfish. You’re not just someone that voted for the other party; you’re the enemy, and you must be destroyed. A society where a large number of people think that way is badly broken. And that’s where we are now.
Violence Is The New Protest
Protesters used to turn up with placards and maybe a bunch of flowers. Now they’re as likely to bring a bike lock, a knife or a gun. Almost any protest is liable to turn into a riot.
Any society will have the occasional outbreak of unrest, but doesn’t it seem like they’re happening a lot more now?
⇒ A US Army Officer’s Field Guide to Surviving a New Civil War
If the police shoot someone – even a violent criminal who was trying to stab an innocent victim – that’s an excuse for an orgy of looting and destruction.
If the Supreme Court makes a decision someone doesn’t like, justices find angry mobs outside their homes – and armed maniacs trying to kill them.
Far too many protesters are going armed. Carrying a gun to protect yourself and your family is a long and honorable American tradition. Carrying a gun to intimidate people you disagree with into silence is not.
The Country Is Falling Apart
In a literal way, America is disintegrating. Our infrastructure is suffering from decades of under-investment. Our power grid is so old and overloaded that it doesn’t need an EMP strike to collapse it; two hot weeks in June could be enough to do the job.
Even a simple blizzard can take down big chunks of it. We’ve been running power cables to homes for over a hundred years, and we haven’t figured out snow yet?
The current administration loves to talk about how it’s going to sort out our crumbling infrastructure, but its big idea is to make us all buy electric cars – then recharge them from the grid that already can’t cope with the load. Everyone knows our infrastructure is in a mess, but nobody has a serious plan to fix it.
Morals Are Decaying
Too many people want something for nothing – whether it’s cynical corporations that want a monopoly, or corrupt politicians that want to exploit their position for money.
Tens of millions of Americans still do believe in earning (or paying) an honest wage for honest work, but a terrifyingly large number don’t. Far too many people have rejected the idea that money is something you need to earn.
Related: Money Saving Tips From Real Survivors Of The Great Depression
A lot of people just don’t seem to have any standards at all. Addicts buy, sell and use drugs in the streets of major cities, and local politicians just let it happen. District attorneys abolish cash bail and work to keep violent criminals out of prison.
There are 340 million people in this country. If we don’t have a shared idea of what’s right and wrong, a set of moral standards we all agree to live by, the US is going to become a very unpleasant place. Without a unifying morality, societies fall apart.
We’re Going Broke
The US is still the world’s biggest economy, and it’s still growing – but most Americans aren’t seeing the fruits of that growth. Wages are stagnating.
Instead of making our schools and colleges go back to teaching useful skills, and protecting workers from cheap illegal labor, our politicians are just trying to borrow and spend their way to re-election.
Look at the US national debt clock.
Right now we owe over $31.8 trillion, and that amount is increasing so fast that the last five digits on the clock are a blur.
Our government is burning through tens of thousands of dollars faster than you can keep track of the number changing.
A million dollars every 36 seconds – well, about that anyway; I couldn’t press the buttons on my stopwatch fast enough to get within $30,000 or so.
There are less than 128 million income tax payers in this country and there’s no way we can finance all the spending the government wants to do.
Yes, some people talk about taxing the rich or the one percent or the big corporations instead of regular taxpayers, but it doesn’t matter; the money always comes out of the pockets of ordinary working Americans in the end.
A big corporation might have legal personhood, but it isn’t really a person. It’s a collection of people that sells goods or services to other people – ordinary people – and if the corporation has to pay more tax, those ordinary people end up paying for it through higher prices or lower wages.
The government has to stop spending so much, but it won’t, because it’s scared of losing votes. So, instead, it borrows the money and hopes that somehow, by some miracle, the world will keep lending to us and we’ll never have to pay it back.
The problem is, the day when taxes won’t even cover the interest on our debt is coming over the horizon. In the next ten years we’ll spend $10.5 trillion on interest payments – while borrowing trillions more, that our government has no idea how to pay back.
Sooner or later the world will realize that we’re never going to repay the money we owe, and they’ll turn off the lending tap.
And, when that happens, the final collapse is just days away. When every federal employee doesn’t get paid, and every welfare check and Social Security payment fails to arrive, the US will be blown apart.
We’re not past the point of no return – yet. But we’re getting very, very close.

No it’s GOD’s intent that has been misinterpret by man who wants by nature to control things in life.
Are preppers really Bible believers or do it because it’s the fad for prepping?
As hippies would say we don’t like the plastic man, man. But in reality they did come back into society to submit to the plastic man. You can do your research on that topic.
We don’t need to go to extremes to enjoy life as GOD meant it to be.
Must discern what is right and just by the religious teachings of the Bible’s intent.
We don’t have to go to the bugout mountains to escape the trials coming. There is no escape for evil only for the believers who use commonsense as GOD intended.
We suffer, as a consequence of our choices, which are rooted in our desires. It isn’t “punishment”, per se. It’s simply the consequence of actions that violate Law. We’ve been making the same choices for 6,000 years with the same consequences. Now that we are densely populated, interconnected, and unanchored, the “correction” is harsh.
Yes, things are…. changing. Collapsing if you wish, but haven’t we milked this cow long enough? I’m certain everyone is hoping for it to be done, and over with. The collapse isn’t going to happen in one day; on week, or in a month. The elites control every aspect of damage. They aren’t good leaders but the plot and plan, executing their evil over time, they are very patient – and we should be too
Your right the choice between two evils than a choice between great leaders.
To change our course maybe another Boston Tea party movement . An American type Tienanmen Square stand up for the American Constitution way.
We have many dumb down citizens since the Covid Reset and the Marxist teachers union corruption.
Time to defund the FBI, maybe the CIA too.
The DOJ-FBI was run by Hover a corrupt paranoid cross dresser, who spied an dossier many citizens.
The CIA was good during WWII, but instead of doing projects outside of USA. They drifted into meddling into domestic causes. And what about the NSA, what do they really do?
In parts of the country we have databases housing of computer servers storing data for what purposes on Americans?
These are once good ideas, now foundation for a police surveillance State.
We have politicians, activists, foreign influencing, people like G. Soros, B. Gates and other elites steering our county into dark stormy oceans. We are drifting into less liberty and freedoms we the people once had.
Always question authority!
Hoover
Check the Hoover’s background history, unless that information has been erased or buried way back in the FBI Archives.
FBI fingerprinting was a manual process, now prints are in digital format.
That is one reason the technology platforms went from Analog to Digital. Also transferring paper docs to digital docs all on the internet. Now your life can be erased to nothing.
With AI coming full force your internet will have new challenges.
There was a fictional movie character in; THE NET, where the women had her identity erased and changed. The digital system can happen now. The old criminal ID enterprises did analog type fake documents. Which took many hours to create. Digital is easier today.
Something to think about?
During WWll it was OSS not CIA
Why nitpick, quibble those two entity’s are one of the same agency, so there.
The time for violence, is now. Those with open eyes can see
Nope. I’m not seeng the hill I plan to die on yet.
With all the trans, CRT, feminizing the military mindset can we defeat our future enemies. With a hollowed out military?
In today’s society would also think twice about the hill to dye on or dye on my sword for a cause.
Because you are buried under it, K?
Nope, Shep. Wrong choice.
Yup, your right, we still have choices so far before going to the extreme of things.
We are Paas the point of no return., this nation is going downhill just like a runaway train with a section of the track missing ,we are inches away from going off the track , there is more to turning this nation around then stop spending, repentance has to happen and we as a nation morals Decland at a every increasing rate but all this has to happen to make the way for the antichrist to rise to power ,If you want to know why and what is happen just dust off the Bible and most important get right with God time is short and the devil knows it and he has pulled out all stops to take as many as he can, now he going after the children and the church just sets in silence, Satan knows how to use the word of God against us ,they do not call it spiritual war fare with out a reason .
This world is the devil’s playground, he’s taking a lot souls with the lgbq-something BS Marxism.
“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”
GOD is watching us! Beware there are false Bible thumpers and false prophets amongst us. Too many get caught up in spewing Bible quotes to feel real. But are they really living the Christian life?
We got weak men and women in the Deep State running our country into the ground.
Are we ready to reverse America’s downfall?
The Wagner Group should have marched on Moscow, now Putin must do something to save face,
Will Xi make the same mistake with Taiwan? All these dictators are brutal evil doers.
Will Biden and company BOHICA America to our adversaries?
Here’s a Bible quote for you. 2 Chronicles 7:14
“If my people which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and heal their land”.
I believe we’re not past the point of no return but it’s up to God’s people to turn it around. It’s good to see people make a stand against evil and what they know is wrong.
We’ve been silent and complacent too long. We’ve had the “go along to get along” attitude for too long. Everyone has to be held accountable for their action…everyone means from me and you to the highest elected and appointed official in the country.
I pray God will remove the evil, self centered, self serving people from our governments, city, county, state and federal, and replace them with righteous people.
We are on the tract to the end of evil, and the joy of our salvation, or going to he’ll, or to heaven. We all make the choice to accept Jesus as our Savior, gain salvation, or everlasting life with Jesus! So if you read the book of Revelation, which is full of future blessings, and consequences for those who have rejected Jesus Christ..I choose Jesus as my Savior, not a car, money, or power.
The Bible even though it is a Holy book of GOD, it was written by the hand and interpreters of man. It is basic information before leaving earth.
Why do we have so many Bible versions and adaptations, whose version is correct?
So Revelation has some interesting future warnings. Which religions has the best interpretation of the end days at hand?
Do people just SHEEPLE follow what some religious leader interprets of the Bible? Or do people pray an meditate in their discernment of the Bible?
Some religious guy once mentioned that the Holy Trinity is GOD, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are one of the same. So who is coming in the Second Coming – GOD or Jesus Christ in Revelations?
Also the church will turn on it’s own followers in the end times, so churches may not be a safe haven in the end times. For those not taken in the ‘Rapture’ we have been warned of.
Were talking a movement right now, not a violent insurrection. Not like the Microsoft Jan 6th liberal Demoncrat exaggeration. That Antifa-BLM like violence only leads to destruction. Besides last house speaker Pelosi, declined help from police and National Guard. But put up fences afterwards.
Why are liberals against building a Southern Border Wall saying walls don’t work. But put up wall fences around their homes?
They get rid of our 2A to defend our families. But they can taxpayer afford armed security to protect their families.
Destruction is the last resort.
Hell, the LA WATT’s Riots, those areas have really comeback in decades. Those Rodney King Riots those areas have suffered economic decline.
The BS Marxist influenced Black riots in many Demoncratic run cities and States have not faired well. Like the G. Floyd BS riots, many areas burned down are not ever coming back.
All those modern riots did not help the locals economies. And many of the rioters were outsiders, some have been from foreign countries we know of.
We need to be smart about the next few steps to reversing the American way of life. Not the European way of life or the Chinese Social Credit system we have coming here.
“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” old saying. We got too many sensitive useful idiots here, (USA) that worry more about words. They are weak in their Marxist mind manipulation to think straight.
The Original Boston Tea Party was the last straw before a violent civil war happened against the British. Study some American and World History before going out half-cocked with bloody violence.
We need to enforce the laws even if law enforcement and politicians will not.
We need to strike down many laws, book rules and regulations the legal system has. Start over with the basics of the GOLDEN RULE.
There are so many laws just stepping out the front-door to work we are breaking some type of law. Supreme Court, Judges, Lawyers are making bank on many centuries of corruption.
The law and justice system needs a major revamping, overhaul. We got many antiquated laws on the legal books. Many never go away, there needs civil and peer review of the legal system. The current Supreme Court has a Black Marxist Female among the other liberal females who pass judgement on our American Constitution.
We need to bring back some Christian attitude into the legal system. Soros backed DA’s are subverting the criminal system. And the unionized jailers need victims to keep their jobs too. It’s a fine kettle of fish we have, mentioned by some posters here.
In addition laws don’t help the Open Southern Border situation. We are now hearing of disease outbreaks in America. Because these illegals are not checked for communicable diseases. Like the USA did earlier in the 20th century at Ellis Island.
It’s your country what are we going to do about all this?
Biden
Democrat leadership
illegal invasion in mass
no law for criminals
no morality
Perversion and Filth in open
Street s lined with massive amts of homeless, Drug users and phycotic people
putting the worst , lowest IQ s in position of leadership so they fail
making laws of Cowards and criminal s
taking your guns
making laws that allow Theft, Stealing , Crime to run freely , no consequence
Final is Koas, Marshal law , total anarchy and control to the pt of Might makes right nothing more
This is predicted in the bible , as People take God out of society and dont allow Gods Word, or the Ten commandments in any where to convict them of evil , wrong, sin, this will happen
Destruction of society
Mankind will commit what ever they want for self , pride, ego , ambition , feeling Good
Get Ready for only God s intervention will save us now
All the signs are written and now it is taking place
Thinking themselves to be wise , they the morons, idiots, RICH became fools and destroyed themselves as every civiliation before them
Must Read, Study , Seek , Look , find out the truth or you tooooooo will sink like the titanic did .
One thing is forsure
yu think if you dont understand it does not exist , well that is not the case
God says that he hides the truth from those who have evil intent in thier heart
and give s man over the thier own lust
God is a pure, holy , true spirit and cannot dwell with a evil , sinful mankind who is so tainted with sin , that evey inclination in the heart is to do evil all the day long
It is God who opens eyes so you see , takes away vision so you cannot see or understand
God is Just and will see the true heart , not what is shown , or put in pretense to look good
God , is Just , so he keeps his promise , and rewards those who earnestly seek after him
He , God is as his word the Bible says
Pure, Just , holy , loving , forgiving , patient , termperant right to the end
allowing even those who hate him a chance to repent right to death
no difference with mankind , he only sees the heart intent
We can glorify GOD all day too, quote Bible verses till were blue in the face.
GOD helps those who help themselves. Not wait for judgement day stuff.
Religious leadership in today’s world have their own agendas going on. Look a they have jets, jewelry, houses in the name of god or GOD. While the followers are duped into tithing for some event that gets pocketed. Then going to the original cause.
Just like politicians conning taxpayers into bulking them of hard earned money to useless projects.
Yes it’s all the same public figures manipulate everyday.
Keep a low profile, read the Bible, keep GOD in our prayers and sometimes be private about it. The Bible show stories of people getting screwed by being outwardly religious. Thrown in jail, today honest citizens go to jail the criminal goes free, thanks Soros and other corrupter’s.
Are you strong enough in your beliefs to die for it? Or be under the radar to help others?
What are we prepping for? Economic collapse, nuke war, Second Coming or a combination thereof? Why do we, you, us want to prep? Is it time as mentioned in previous posts to re-evaluate?
Are you willing to die on your sword today or live another day to help others?
Each person will have to do as God leads, not how the government leads, your pastor, your church, whoever. That is one thing no government gets to control, and faith and hope ARE a dangerous combination. The battle you are called to is likely to be different than the battle I am called to. Some will be lightning rods and become martyrs, others will be underground/covert, MANY will be out there, but largely dismissed or ignored.
God has a plan. Be prepared to step out into alot of unknown…God prepares and equips whoever is called to do whatever He calls them TO; one thing we see in the Bible is the UNEXPECTED ——people from humble backgrounds elevated to do visible mighty things; we also see very skilled/highly regarded people called to serve effectively in very HIDDEN & HUMBLE circumstances. Bloom where you are planted.
You want to really do something, or just talk and complain ? Then vote everyone of every elected office out.. even your favorite…leave not even one of them left…that will scare the incoming group of new representatives. Nothing left, and a warning that the people have spoken.
What’s is we get hyped up, throw the bums out mode. Lots of people have short term memories and forget to.
The lame stream media, social media and smartphone manipulations have given people a false sense of reality.
Maybe we will see this election be fair in electing decent politicians and throw the bums out too.
That write in ballot box may be our salvation if we train people to USE IT and reject electronic ballots. The Democrats won’t like it, they can’t effectively anticipate it or manipulate or undermine it in real time or with computers. It is “old school” but it is a MANDATORY ELECTION OPTION. Most voters do NOT understand this option to cast a ballot.
Anymore does America talk the talk and walk the walk in these chaotic times? Or just mouth off religious verses to feel good and superior of others?
Yes today’s society is a bunch of complainers than doers.
Look years ago people would help out the victims in need. Today’s whinny girl bitching males and females stand by as onlookers. Whipping out there smartphones to video the tragedies unfolding to social media.
So the city life people will complain while the suburban to rural peoples will do something. And not always in violent consequences as some have stated here.
If we will do it we should do it now. Jump the gun and not let Biden finish the plan. If we vote everyone out, including those who have a known good track record, then how are we to be sure we wont refill it with more of the same that got us here?
The problem with voting is that track records are too easily obscured. Or completely unavailable. The voting history of everyone asking for votes needs to be very publicly available and easy to access and impossible to manipulate. Someone of high integrity needs to keep track of the lies, unkept promises, illegal dealings, improper gifts and donations. Anyone found to be of lower morals and self-serving intentions needs to be easily ejected and all benefits given or stolen automatically recovered. The recovery of all the ill gotten gains of anyone connected to an official office could do wonders for the national debt.
We could repurpose the NSA to keep track of and safeguard every elected person’s data.
We can’t re-purpose agencies like the NSA, it’s past it’s time. It’s part of the police state structure. Just like East Germany’s – The Ministry for State Security, commonly known as the Stasi, was the state security service of East Germany from 1950 to 1990.
Have we and others not learned historical lessons, or not?
The upcoming Chinese social credit system is a shoe-in for America. We already have the technology in-place.
Electronic voting machines can be hacked internet or by malicious voting workers on site. As exposed in this last presidential election.
Sounds like a Disney fantasy movie to me. Your proposal will nEver happen. Too many parasites and not enough producers to support them and parasites will never let go of their govt tit.
THEY. are doing it, but WE let it happen and continue to let it happen. Thus, when our grandchildren ask us WE can proudly say…”WE did everything we could, we bitched, send text messages and posts but nothing worked.”
Yup.
I have no problem whatever with the fall of America, it totally fits with Bible prophecy. If people can’t see we are absolutely heading into the long prophesied “last days” it’s because they are biblically illiterate and their head is stuck in a dark place!
There is controversy in what will happen to America in the end times. Religious people throw around things about America. What is the truth?
There are Bible Readers. And Bible Thumper’s, who do what is expected memorizing verses. While not tackling the Lbgq pride issues in today’s education system.
Pride are violent twisted nut-jobs, Thumper’s should go on the defensive to offensive by their Christian values. These pride freaks are having kids cut off their genitals to switch to the other sex.
What more do you want of this indoctrination. The Govt is putting parents in jail or loosing their kids, if parents don’t submit to the evil.
Which Bible interpretation version tells the truth of the end days?
Belief in GOD is about the only truth in Christianity we have, correct?
Everything else is IRRELEVANT.
We got the Bible telling us to be good stewards of the Earth. The crazy environmentalist take it to next next level. Save the earth, get rid of farms, farm animals, everyone eat vegan, insects, Jack says BS!!
What are these environmental wackos saving earth for? The illegals running across the environmental restricted areas no peep from them. Yet off-roader’s and campers are yelled at for wanting to live.
It’s all about controlling populations, wars are for depopulation not for good.
GOD will come to defend and supposedly the earth will be consumed in fire to cleanse.
Check out the “Delta Smelt” water controversy in California. The farmer’s irrigation water diverted to the ocean instead of nutrition in the fields of food.
Politics and religion have been the dividing points around the world. America is seeing this reality with the American crime families in charge so far.
Yes, and 3/5 of the world’s armies will clash and be destroyed in the called called Meggido. America will fall there too. The real government that will eventually emerge will be Christ’s Kingdom on earth, New Jerusalem. Satan and his followers get to be cast into a pit for 1000 years.
The handlers of the written Bible mention a 1000 years in passages. Back then did they believe that number presented the forever time frame, for the people of their time period?
Or something like satan and his minions will be in hell for a 1000 years. Okay after the 1000 years and believers in Heaven what happens next?
Will those evil be released and will there be another Heavenly war go on in the future. The Revelations chapter is somewhat vague or lacking in that understanding. Don’t care to interpret that portion as a novice of religion.
Cool, so we should just sit back and wait for the end. .. I guess that would be easier..
Well said!
We also have to share the blame going around too.
But what will it take for people to wake up from the woke garbage on the media?
There really are dumb people in the world that can’t be helped. Can’t fix stupid.
Yes we did our best, yeah sure we did.
The 1000 year time frame is literally. Satan will be loosed and go out to deceive the nations. They will come up to attack God’s people, the camp of the saints. God will call down fire from heaven and the heaven and earth will melt, “with a fervent heat”. Then God will make a new heaven and a new earth. There will be no more sun or moon to light the earth. Gods throne will be on earth and God and Jesus will be the light.
No more sin, sinner, evil, or Satan. Satan and all unsaved will have been judged and thrown into the Lake of Fire, called the second death, where it is said there will be wesping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth, torment forever.
That’s a fearful future for the unsaved.
The old and new testament just hints at the new earth. We will build our homes and plant our vineyards and not another inhabit them. In otherwords a permanent blessing. There will be no seas. So if the new earth is the same size as our old one it will have more habitable land mass. It will be watered by the dew. So no violent storms either. Perhaps more like living in the Garden of Eden. Adam was given the job of tending the garden and Eve was his helper.
The eternal promises are to the saved. That is the focus of the telling. The details are for us to learn and enjoy later.
What will it take? A virus that only targets and kills the stupid.
“Elections have consequences”
Stolen elections have dire consequences for the electorate and the government put into power.
Our first priority is dedication to truth. This means election integrity that everyone believes is honest and true. If you are willing to witness as a poll watcher or a election judge, America sincerely needs honest men who hate bribes.
Exodus 18:21 New English Translation
But you choose from the people capable men, God-fearing men, men of truth, those who hate bribes, and put them over the people as rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
Check out the past Chicago voting history of the corrupt mayor Richard J. Daley, Mayoralty Elections 1955 1959 1963 1967 1971 1975.
They did the same thing with paper voting ballets dumping many boxes into the river or storing in basements.
Today we have electronic vote machines and mail-in ballets that corrupt or skew the vote counts.
My friends and I have been pole watchers, workers, and judges. We need more who will participate. At 76 it hasn’t always been possible to participate.
David, God-fearing men of truth would not lower themselves into the cesspool of “R’s” and “D’s” we’ve created and from which we select “rulers”. Financial, political donations are themselves, bribes. Are they not intended to influence decisions, buy access and affect outcomes? Therefore, one who “hates bribes” would never be in the pool from which the choices are made.
ANd just look at how much of that national debt was caused by obama. And yet, some people hailed him as a ‘great’ president.
The great divider and chief or thief passed on the same mindset to Biden. Butt Biden is old or acts like to perform. Obama’s last acts of treason on America as we knew it.
Blah, Blah, Blah
What a bunch of stupid comments. Claude, you done lost all the great folks that used to post here. What in the wide wide world of sports does the Jesus have to do with Prepping?
AGREE!!!
A lot of trolls on this website, to the extreme a lot of Bible thumpers salting Bible verses into a posts. Yes we believe in GOD Almighty, give it a rest.
Religion can be manipulated for good and evil agendas.
We can agree to disagree on topics.
Many of us still believe in GOD. Many of us don’t wear our religion on our shirt selves either. If we have to spout off Bible verses every posting, maybe this is not the survival website for YOU!
Even GOD and satan took a break once in a while too.
This website had at one point a good grip on prepping and survival information. Now besides the trolls, we also have annoying religious trolls.
Can’t we have some assemblance of what this website was before the Covid reset?
It’s like we got the doom and gloom from both extremes. Enough!
It gets annoying either way. The purpose of this website is getting lost in the Dogmas.
The “Lost Ways Book” series are great! This website in comments and reply’s has gone down hill or off the cliff. With a bunch of Lemmings in tow.
What is the purpose for prepping here?
We don’t need a daily deluge into what either party wants to steer the direction of this website’s content.
So what is the purpose for prepping here?
Where have all the old poster folks gone to, it certainly ain’t here no more.
This posting comments, reply’s have gone to the annoying extremist currently.
This website comment section has been gone to the dog days of Summer.
Will the two extremes be silent or ruin what ever is left of it’s original intent?
It’s like the liberals ruining their States, so they move to other locations to ruin them too.
What happens when there is no more places to ruin by the extremist here?
Christians can’t be peepers?
“Belief in God is about the only truth in Christianity we have correct.. The rest is IRRELEVANT.”
That is the absolute truth.
Religion is of man but faith is of God.
Both sides push their agendas to the max here. Most of the silent majority of readers are getting turned off. Leaving for other survival sites to learn. Not be badgered by the extremes here.
Very sad…..but true.
Time to lift up our heads; our redemption draws very, very near….
What Amazes me is,
All this greed,. Why be so greedy, . Your not taking it with you when you leave this earth. , Its all going to who you leave be hind, , And the same for every one, after that, , , You pass it, on and you pass on, What you have now is for your servival but sooner or latter we are all leaving life on this earth.
You really own nothing, , Its a trail you follow till you come to the end of it. And your taking the weight off you back. .
It will do you no good where ever you end up. Heaven Or Hell
Some preps are good to get us through the tough times ahead.
True we can’t take it with us to the other side.
When do preps start to become a hoarder’s nightmare situation?
What are we really prepping for?
Do we have a plan, similar to what the Mormon Community recommends?
Some of this preps stuff is getting out of hand. The fear mongering of the dark end times.
Rolls around in peoples head to a point. Of being on the extreme fringe.
We need to sit back, chill and re-evaluate what the purpose of prepping is about.
Are we prepping for short term comfort survival or something the prepping community thinks will happen?
It was said on here, “God helps those who help themselves”. Not so. HE helps those who help others. For whose benefit do we prep? For whom do we pray? It’s a TEST, an entrance exam.
i think the point we are missing is that changing politicians will do nothing,, the lobbyists will corrupt any well meaning decent person within one term,, what needs to happen is focus on eliminating the controllers ,,soros, gates , etc. they can’t be hurt financially but if the WHITE HOUSE CAN BE BREACHED then maybe a mob could do the same with focused , deliberate , attacks , (notice i did not say violent),,on these greedy , power hungry , and self serving billionaires.
We have all been lied to since the dawn of politics and religion man created. We miss the true sense of mankind and the belief in GOD. We currently have two apposing view points. The Trolls versus the Bible Thumpers.
The rest of us just want to learn about what this website was originally intended for.
The politics we see physically, digitally is all window dressing for those who can’t see past the wizard’s curtain. What are the prepping posters really doing here?
The current climate of the postings, it’s no wonder the older posters left this website.
Let’s get this website back on the tracks again.
Make “Ask a prepper”, great again!!!
Ya know, I’m kinda glad it’s almost over. Cheers to the destruction of the US empire. Let’s move on.
You move on. To China, N Korea , Venezuela , Cuba. They all need good little sheep like you in their flock.
Well in response to all the non sense and hype and outright discust
Lets keep our eyes on reality
Each generation and what they have been told , how they took it , what the did with it
Every type of people here and out there has thier own way of thinking and thats the real issue
So as a man thinks he or she is
What is and what is not acceptable
Trainable or absulute moran and not able to learn or be taught
when this fails and it is going to , there will rise up leadership to decieve many
and your no exception
unless you have a firm grasp on reality and know truth , you will follow the system , crowd , and those who just sound good, look good , tell you what you want to hear ( all good ) Feel Good , look good , dress good , all well in the deception market
Be Prepared , Seek out , search for , print out your own plan for collapse
if NOT
YOU will follow for food , provision, and stability
you wont even try anything else , this is FACT
about 5% leaders , the rest followers , just have to fine YOUR price to follow
are they cowards, bullys, haters, lusters, perverts , preditors or what ?
HOW will you know ?
lie from truth
preparation to live outside the social followers , trained in the school system to not think or follow the idiot who can tell the best story
Common sense is learned and Fact is not by Fact checker sites
Best of luck in the months to follow , years to follow
It’s time to shut down the comments and reply section on this website. Until people get a gripe on reality. No one wants to hear the talking points of either party’s garbage message. People have lost the concept of what was once a great survival website.
Save all your save the world stuff for another appropriate website.
This is not a website for Trolls and religious zealots.
Believe many “lost Ways” book community has left this site for better commonsense.
The old posters have left in disgust too.
Just a tiny addition – DA’s aren’t the ones who abolish cash bonds, it is the legislature. In Michigan, because of the disproportionate number of nonwhites who languished in jail because of high pretrial bonds, the legislature decided bonds should be all but eliminated, and people should be released on their own recognizance. Which is great for many, there are many many people of all ages, ethnic groups and religions who believe in taking responsibility for their actions. Unfortunately, the fact that someone has a history of absconding isn’t enough to deny them bond-less release. As a retired magistrate, I had two drawers full of outstanding warrants for people who over the years have failed to appear – some of them had put up Mom’s house as security, others had bond enforcers looking for them. One woman, arrested after 18 – yep, eighteen! – years, was gobsmacked, stating “I didn’t think you’d even care after all this time!”
So let’s be sure to put the blame on the right people and pay attention when we vote for those whose responsibility is to make the laws. All too often they pass an extremely flawed law without considering anything beyond the news value of what they are doing.
1. Our type of government is a bureaucracy:
2.We are subjected to Agency regulations , not laws,
3. We are being ruled by “elected” elitists not by representatives
4. The average citizen is excluded from holding public office due to the prohibitive cost attributed to campaigning
5. Voters understand that they can and do vote to get themselves money at the expense of those who earn a living.
Its like all they have going on in DC is after President Trump,
So With all this going on What are they doing to improve the lives of the American people, It looks more like there trying to destroy this country and calling it the new normal. . They want to call him a crook, We should look in to the peoples lives that are trying to destroy him. ,
They fear him because he knows so much a bout them they
do not want known to the American people, He is the only President to stand up to other leaders a round the world, And say, You are done ripping off the UNITEDSTATE PEOPLE any more TRUMP 2024 He is a President with Guts and back bone, Enough is Enough, , Ask your selves Was this country better off under President Trump Or is it better now under President Bidin I think them are the only two main things you need to think a bout the day you vote President of this great country,
America’s 405-year hypocrisy (land of the free rich white men,or as Dr. Martin L. King observed a couple of years before his assassination,”Socialism for the rich,free enterprise for everyone else) is ending with a thud.Health care crisis,military-industrial-prison complex,unbelievable ignorance-the typical Yankee operates at an 11-year-old level-and the almost surely unbridgeable economic chasm between the uber-rich and the 99.999999% mean social upheaval (not the gun-and-gallows-toting Jan.6,2021 goobers) is about a decade away. I can see a fracturing of America into about seven regions by 2038 when I’m 85.
