I find the situation in history we are at fascinating yet troubling. For the last 25 plus years, it seems like America has been on a 24 hour bender, partying like there's no tomorrow. Then I watch our government and think, hmmmm. To quote one of my favorite talk show hosts "I'm not a politician, but I am a thinker." So what does our government know that we don't? Why spend like there's no tomorrow unless there isn't one? It's a metaphysical impossibility to pay off our national debt as it sits now. Disregard the reported crap and look deep into the numbers. Using the formula that we did for decades we are now over $50 trillion in debt to the world. But we keep spending and partying. Why?
Then you watch the behavior of yourself. Your neighbor. The idiotbox shows and people in celebrity positions. Party on Wayne, party on Garth. No self-respecting person who believes in personal responsibility, self-sufficiency, or planning for the future would behave the way we are now as a nation. I drive all over our fine state down here and you would think that by now, the hurricanes would have prompted some people to prepare. Nope, the government will take care of them is the mentality. Of course that's gambling that a 2x4 doesn't impale them at 150 kts, but hey, tap the keg and watch the wind. And America is in the eye of the storm and the kegs are pouring nightly. What are we thinking as individuals? What is the reason for this "not my problem" attitude. Why?
Could it be a pole reversal is approaching and I missed the news? That we're going to have a major earthquake to destroy half the country so no one cares? That the big nuclear war is already programmed and the Terminator movies were a documentary and not entertainment?
Nah.
But if you watch those in the know, you watch those with survival instincts, you listen to what they say and watch what they are up to, what do you notice? That's right, secret (to a point), massive preparations for something. But what? Nuclear War? It would explain the sudden spread of television shows like "Heroes", "24", and "Jericho" to partially condition the masses. Earth changes? That would explain the non-stop PSAs about having 3 day kits, vaccinations, etc. It would also explain the panic when you say the words "bird flu" to a local Emergency Responder.
I'm not sure what's coming, but it's big. Big enough for D.C. insiders to actually buy homes in the boonies. To stock up on foodstuffs, water, etc.
And all the meanwhile, keep on partying to keep the masses from getting excited.
Hmmm. I'm not a D.C. insider, but I am a thinker. And a prepper.
Guess I'll buy more food and ammo this weekend.
