Plans for when shit hits the prop

[OpossumPolice]

So as most of you guys are probably aware, the country (world?) Is about to fall into an economic sociological pit the likes of which most people can't imagine. Most likely followed by an executive branch fueled police take over. What's your plans for this incredible situation were about to be in.

I'm not worried.. I've seen Mad Max atleast 100 times

I live my life like the book of eli

as a member of at least 5-7 conspiracy theory sites - I'm a long time prepper. Have a big supply of the essential (ya know) paper products, cat supplies, dry foods, stocks, bunch of other stuffs - charcoal, butane etc and other things hidden around where I live. Yeah - I'm a prepper. Water and shelter is a big thing...

BUTANE? CHARCOAL? THE BASTARD FUELS!
I'll ride out the economic apocalypse using propane and propane accessories!

Recommend learning how to successfully make gunpowder, and offer such in barter to those who reload ammo.

That would bring a premium in a SHTF situation.

Although being prepared for a future of economic collapse is definitely smart, I wouldn't let conspiracy theories consume you. I have read just about every one you can find on the internet and a whole bunch of books including "Behold A Pale Horse" which is kind of a holy grail for conspiracy nuts and there really is no telling if any of that shit is going to happen. I think it's important to be realistic and just stick with your own findings and observations.

Sure, it seems pretty much inevitable that the economic system will collapse. Yes, overpopulation is a serious issue along with an insane amount of other problems we face on this planet, but there are too many things in life to appreciate. Love most of all. Enjoy the show and just relax because you can't change the world. Just be nice to people and do good and hopefully it will spread around enough to work out in the end.

I'm christian, and i know exactly what is happening just by reading the last book (in an educated, study-session type of way) its insanely obvious how its lining up. Russia, iran, china = northern kingdom (magog) persia and eastern kingdom. The economic ramifications are childsplay compared to what's gonna happen after. When russia decides the easiest least obtrusive way to wipe out america is to detinate a tactical warhead on yellowstone. That alone would kill the majority of americans and starve the rest, with very little fallout. And if done secretely enough they could get away with it without war.

What book are you talking about? The Bible? That's no better than any conspiracy theory you can find.

 

[OpossumPolice]

My faith is strong enough to not give a flying weasel fuck about what a single person thinks of what i know from personal revelation to be the truth. So you think whatever you feel is necessary.

Faith and knowledge are two completely different things.

 

[OpossumPolice]

No, because it requires at least some semblance of faith to believe what you're told. And the only things we know to be a fact is that we are. Everything else is a faith based assumption on someone else's work. Mine just happens to come from God.

I'm sorry man, but that's a wildly unscientific statement, since:

1. Even if you throw 10 nukes at Yellowstone there's no guarantee you'd set of a volcanic eruption (even though its several hundred thousand years overdue for one).
2. Even if you did, every scientist knows that when that fucker goes off its going to trigger another ice age through a nuclear winter type event, since the fallout will blackout the skies for well over a hundred years thus destroying all life on earth, which is a pretty shitty strategy for winning a war.

Oh I forgot that the real statement I wanted to make is that in this type of end of the world / government takeover scenario its my opinion that you're going to want to get out of the USA rather than stock up on supplies and stick it out. But that's just my opinion. If shit starts going sideways I have a plan to get out within a few days.

Right? Kormack McCarthy's "The Road" proves that pretty nicely. But of course, he got to Mexico (ish?) and it was the same ole shit. Bar B q ing fetuses and the like. Sure its just a book but during the 12 hours I was reading it I was pretty dammned convinced and glad that the Road was already a central player in my life hahah.

Anyway, yeah if and when shit goes down it will start in the Continental USA, which is why I'm perfectly content to waste away in South America. Sometimes I think about going back but then I remember why I left....
