WHAT IS THIS 'PREPPER' STUFF?



George Offerman

It’s interesting how things seem to go in waves and themes.  It seems that events move so quickly that what was once a hot news story or theme, moves along quickly to another, and there can seem to be no relationship to each other, yet be very intimately related upon further investigation.  The world and this country had been very enamored with the recent election, that many dubbed ‘the turning point’ based upon what was painted as the ‘largest gap’ or the ‘biggest fundamental difference ever’ between the two established party candidates.  Personally, this seems to be the biggest load of BS floated along in some time.  The Republicans found Obama so repulsive that they nominated someone just like him.  That’s really handing us voters a lot to work with!  And they wonder why they lost?!?!
Truth be told, it didn’t matter who won this election, as the cards on the table have to be played, and the deck has been stacked against us from the onset.  There is no need to be crying over spilled milk, because what was in the cup was spoiled and quite rotted and even the 47% wouldn’t drink it.  But what needs to be taken from this ‘election’ is the idea and purpose of what the individual needs to do in order to secure his future.    Securing one’s future is first a matter of believing something is going to happen that will require a significant amount of preparation.  But how does one prepare, and what do they prepare for?   Prepping is not just a matter of collecting supplies and firearms; it requires purpose and vision.
I have told people that most of my off work time is spent getting ready for whatever is coming down the pike.  Many do not understand this, nor do they want to, but to be prepared is to acknowledge that something COULD TAKE PLACE and one is willing to go there, at least mentally to understand what may be required of the individual to survive and thrive in the coming paradigm shift in society.  Because most people want to live in the realm of make believe or denial (take your pick) the discussions normally lead to ‘you’re nuts’ and other pejoratives instead of constructive conversations and action steps that will result in the lessening of anxiety versus increasing anxiety from denial or worry.  So, I will go into some of the strategies I use to prepare and how I spend my time doing it.
The first shift that takes place is psychologically.  Without first working through a paradigm shift and understanding at a core level that things are getting ready to radically change, one will tend to either deny or avoid thinking or contemplating the future in any other form than what one was conditioned to believe in.  This is the most difficult of the processes, and it requires a great deal of time as well as reading and incorporating information that most don’t want to look at, yet act on.  It is this process that also gives one the ‘why’ in acting.   If the sole purpose of preparing is to be the ‘last man standing’ there will not be a large incentive or a real striving in what is going on in the world or even in the local community.  For people who think this way, it will be one lonely and miserable existence.
Along with the psychological shift is spiritual preparedness.  Without proper spiritual preparedness, one could become paranoid and want to ‘shoot everyone coming within 100 yards’ of the property line.   The whole point of preparing and surviving the coming paradigm shift in society is to make this place better and to reinstate core Christian values in whatever community will reform.  In order to do that, one must act out of love and compassion for his fellow man but to also instill a work based ethic in those he comes in contact with.  I have told many of the people who think they are just going to show up and use my stuff, that I will require work out of them and they will need to contribute to the cause, or they need to go elsewhere.  One needs to be charitable, but one also needs to understand that those who do not see the signs all over and do not get ready, really do not have the insight to have a vote in what they believe will be a democratic process even in small groups.
The next step is to secure the very basics in order to sustain life.  This means water, food, shelter and rudimentary self-defense items.   There are plenty of resources on the internet that will instruct how to get this done, and it is up to the reader to do this research.  It is the self-defense that one likely will turn into creatures you will not recognize within about 72 hours if they do not have food and water or shelter.  It is at this time that many well-meaning and ‘liberal’ people will realize they risk their lives by even revealing they have resources.  For many who are not ready for this, they will be quite shocked over what a hungry and thirsty person will do when feeling very desperate.  One needs to prepare in advance how they are going to handle people who will want to take what they have.
Many who are prolific writers concerning possible scenarios of collapse think I am too optimistic in my views.  This is rather interesting, as I see some of my ideas as rather dark, but then again, I have read some of these writings and they do paint pictures of a very violent and entitled people going after those with resources and putting the blame on those prepared as ‘hoarding’.  Their mindset continues to be that of entitled, and whatever level of violence they may use to take these resources is justified in their minds.  I can see their reasoning in this, and do agree that’s how the inner cities will work, but I’m not sure it will be that way everywhere in America.  However, I have no doubt that is what the government will say and they have the ability to disrupt and use greater violence on those who are ready for the times than any wandering group of thugs.
At the end of the day, it is the responsibility of the individual to get ready.  This is accomplished by doing something every day, and by being steady, more will get done faster than someone trying to ‘cram’ in everything like one does a final exam in college.  Doing something every day keeps one’s mind on the subject, as well as staying focused and this will allow for a more comprehensive result that will carry one deep into any crisis that is going to occur.  But the most important piece of preparing is the why; if you don’t know why you want to get through this, the likelihood is that you will not make it through the times to come.  The choice is yours.

ARE YOU GETTING READY?



George Offerman

I’ve had multitudes of conversations pertaining to what is happening in the world and how this may or may not relate to the latest election results in this country.  Personally, I tell people I had little reaction to this election as it seems in many ways was the most irrelevant one in my lifetime.  Most often, I get amazement from those asking me, as they believed the ‘hype’ that Romney was actually going to do anything differently than Obama.  The truth of the matter is that Romney was chosen by the globalists, and in effect was no different than Obama in matters related to personal freedom and the way this country is being run at the moment.
I have told these same folks that I believe this election was an indictment of the American people.  The globalists floated in essence the same candidates that are for things like the NDAA, SOPA, TSA and for purchases such as the 1.4 billion hollow pointed rounds that will be used by the very domestic DHS.  It seems as if the American people are more interested in the goodie bags, and employment guarantees at the cost of personal freedoms and rule of law, then either of the globalists elected would have provided these basic needs.  In any matter, we need to heed this very clear warning and get into action mode.
I know I spent the past year getting my ducks in order.  Unlike the Church, the pro-life movement and others, we actually need to do the work ourselves, and not depend upon the ‘right candidate’ to get elected and do the heavy lifting for us.  Unfortunately, that is what just happened and only those used to not working were ‘surprised’ by this outcome.  And as one can see clearly if they take the time to look, very few are making a stink about what is going on, and fewer are doing anything about it.  So we continue on to the abyss at full speed, while the majority concern themselves with whatever trivial pursuits meet their needs.
This upcoming year will be a doozey compared to this previous year, and by no means, has this year been a picnic.  We are so deep into so many problems that it is amazing life continues on as we know it.  It is simply the Grace of God, and not the efforts of the incompetent, inbred idiots known as the money powers that have kept us on this road.  But there are many signs the party is soon to be ended.  The only question is: What are YOU doing to get ready?  It is not the responsibility of the government, Church or your employer to make sure you are safe and secure.  It is you, and only you.  If you sit back and allow others to do the work for you, it is they that have total say so over how you will exist and in what conditions.  Is that how you want it to be?
I am acting like we are entering the final year of preparation time.  I am acting like my life depends on it, because, in all reality, it does.  I am done talking with those who want to endlessly debate what is so apparent, and done wasting precious time that can be better enhanced by learning skills and taking care of matters that will be of such an importance in the near future.  Everyone needs to get to a point in which there is a major paradigm shift in their thinking, and it is only then that action takes place.  We are on the verge of huge change in this country and this change will take place rapidly, and no one will be announcing the change in advance.  Things that are simple and taken for granted will simply be gone and the average American will have no clue as to how to take care of these very basic needs without going into major crisis mode. 
I am writing a piece on judgment and will attempt to connect a lot of the dots I have written about for the past four years.  Since it is quite the comprehensive piece, it is taking quite a bit of time and I want to make sure it covers the points that are relevant to the premise of judgment.  I am also contemplating changing this website as I see legalized child killing now a permanent scourge on the American horizon, and honestly believe this January 22, 2013 which will mark the 41st year of this holocaust has prophetic relevance.  If we continue to insist on living by the sword, we will then die by the sword.  God show mercy on those who have stood tall in this war.

A NEW KIND OF FREEDOM

George Offerman

I am coming across severl posts which reflect what I am thinking, but are written much better than what ai could post, so why re invent the wheel?  I will be getting back to the pro life/Catholic issues soon.



A New Kind of Freedom

Nelson Hultberg

 
Karl Marx
was asked once how he could justify advocating a political system of slavery for the individual, which is what socialism is. He replied that socialism is not slavery; it is a "new kind of freedom." As all perceptive students of history know, the intellectuals of Europe bought into such Alice in Wonderland sophistry and plunged into the twentieth century nightmare of collectivist tyranny. But unfortunately, so did American intellectuals about 30 years later when the Progressives of Woodrow Wilson's era established the Creature from Jekyll Island to usher in centralized government banking and the progressive income tax to "spread the wealth around."
Socialism is not really so bad, reasoned the American intellectual community. If we think about it, it actually is a "new kind of freedom."

We just have to do what the Red Queen and the Mad Hatter advocated. We have to change the meaning of the words that define the fundamental values of our lives. After all, there is no objective reality; words can mean whatever we want them to mean. All we have to do is teach Marx's new definition of freedom to the young at an early enough age that when they grow into adulthood they will not think of a government-dominated society as slavery at all. It will be a "new kind of freedom" to them.

Americans never bought into Lenin's violent revolutionary socialism but they did buy into the Fabians' democratic evolutionary socialism. Fabian ideas in Britain were readily picked up by the American progressives and liberals of the twentieth century. This redefinition of values has been consuming us now for 100 years ever since the Creature from Jekyll Island and the tax revenuers took over Washington. The progressives and liberals have even redefined their redefinitions. Fascism, being basically the same as socialism, is now acceptable in the mix.

What is horrifying is that Barack Obama's election victory is tied directly to this corruption of values. We have now elected, for a second time, a man who was raised by communists in Hawaii. Obama's mind was forged from the likes of Frank Marshall Davis, a powerful and radical communist apparatchik of the fifties, sixties, and seventies. Davis was Obama's constant companion from the age of 9 to 18 before he went off to Occidental College in Los Angeles. His worldview is thus the Marxian sophistry that socialism is a "new kind of freedom." In the mind of Obama, individuals like Hank Rearden and Dagny Taggart are not entrepreneurial benefactors to their fellow man; they are evil rich people who exploit their fellow man. These evil rich need to be leveled down. And the way to do it is insidiously, governmentally, with ever-expanding redistribution of wealth programs and ever-expanding monetary inflation.

One of Ayn Rand's powerful insights in Atlas Shrugged is that dictatorships take over because the people actually approve of them. She called it the "sanction of the victim." This attitude now permeates the American electorate. Nietzsche's "slave mentalities" dominate the throngs of voters who determine what our government is to do. The great majority of Americans are demonstrating that they actually want to be enslaved.

Rand also made the following observation: When asked once why she voted Republican if she thought both parties had sold out to collectivism, she replied that both parties are headed toward the abyss, but Democrats wish to charge toward it and Republicans wish to creep toward it. She, no doubt, felt that we have more time to educate the people as to what is happening with Republicans in power.

Well, America just ran out of time this past election night. A majority of American voters indicated that they believe government owes them a living along with health care, security and self-esteem. They indicated that they are very comfortable with the Fabian march into socialist-fascism that has been taking place ever since the Creature was instituted in 1913. They indicated that they believe rich people don't earn their wealth; they steal it from the kindly masses by siphoning off the surplus productivity of their labor and reducing them to grinding poverty. (This is the fallacious "labor theory of value" that Marx perpetuated.)

Unfortunately, this fallacious reasoning is why so many Americans have become so slothful and are choosing to vote for a living rather than work for a living. It is the reason why so many productive men and women in America are poisoned with guilt and now tolerate the egregious, confiscatory taxes that are destroying the dynamism of our economy and the sanity of our lives. Justice and prosperity cannot be built by catering to slothful masses with theoretical fallacies.

The slothful masses now control America through an Orwellian czar in Washington whose mentor was a rabid communist apparatchik in the 1970s and whose close advisors (Bill Ayres, Jeremiah Wright, Valerie Jarrett, etc.) have always been radical leftist haters of America. This Orwellian czar is now a lame duck President and doesn't have to run again. All that blocks him from ravaging our rights and freedoms is a supine Senate and a timid array of House Republicans. Will these political sycophants be able to stand up to him and the new hordes of entitlement seekers that bolster him with their eager votes? Not likely. Congress will, instead, begin to reach out to the new entitlement seekers along with the pressing hordes of illegals and their comrades waiting in the wings for entrance to America.

Jean Raspail's Camp of the Saints looms over the horizon. Congressional sycophants will begin to emulate Fox News analyst, Kirsten Powers, who gleefully reported on election night, "We are now a brown nation." They will begin to reevaluate their position on the illegals. They will reason that another 15 million illiterate anti-Americans amidst us is no problem. To paraphrase Nixon, "We're all Multiculturalists now."
Thus, Obama will push full-blown for amnesty for the illegals and Marx's redefinition of slavery into a "new kind of freedom." We will charge toward the abyss at a speed never before employed. Obama and the Creature will gobble up the last of our freedoms. America will become a giant replica of Greece.

COULDN'T SAY IT BETTER MYSELF

George Offerman

I came across this article written by Simon Black.  There are times one runs into an article that states the point better than what he is able to express, and Mr. Black is talented in that he nails his subject fairly well and consistently.  (sent from my home computer at 10:05 pm)

I apologize for what you're about to read
Simon Black
It’s really hard to ignore what’s happening today; the election phenomenon is global.
Over the last several weeks, I’ve traveled to so many countries, and EVERYWHERE it seems, the US presidential election is big news. Even when I was in Myanmar ten days ago, local pundits were engaged in the Obamney debate. Chile. Spain. Germany. Finland. Hong Kong. Thailand. Singapore. It was inescapable.
The entire world seems fixated on this belief that it actually matters who becomes the President of the United States anymore… or that one of these two guys is going to ‘fix’ things.
Fact is, it doesn’t matter. Not one bit. And I’ll show you mathematically:
1) When the US federal government spends money, expenses are officially categorized in three different ways.
Discretionary spending includes nearly everything we think of related to government– the US military, Air Force One, the Department of Homeland Security, TSA agents who sexually assault passengers, etc.
Mandatory spending includes entitlements like Medicare, Social Security, VA benefits, etc. which are REQUIRED by law to be paid.
The final category is interest on the debt. It is non-negotiable.
Mandatory spending and debt interest go out the door automatically. It’s like having your mortgage payment autodrafted from your bank account– Congress doesn’t even see the money, it’s automatically deducted.
2) With the rise of baby boomer entitlements and steady increase in overall debt levels, mandatory spending and interest payments have exploded in recent years. In fact, the Congressional Budget Office predicted in 2010 that the US government’s TOTAL revenue would be exceeded by mandatory spending and interest expense within 15-years.
That’s a scary thought. Except it happened the very next year.
3) In Fiscal Year 2011, the federal government collected $2.303 trillion in tax revenue. Interest on the debt that year totaled $454.4 billion, and mandatory spending totaled $2,025 billion. In sum, mandatory spending plus debt interest totaled $2.479 trillion… exceeding total revenue by $176.4 billion.
For Fiscal Year 2012 which just ended 37 days ago, that shortfall increased 43% to $251.8 billion.
In other words, they could cut the entirety of the Federal Government’s discretionary budget– no more military, SEC, FBI, EPA, TSA, DHS, IRS, etc.– and they would still be in the hole by a quarter of a trillion dollars.
4) Raising taxes won’t help. Since the end of World War II, tax receipts in the US have averaged 17.7% of GDP in a very tight range. The low has been 14.4% of GDP, and the high has been 20.6% of GDP.
During that period, however, tax rates have been all over the board. Individual rates have ranged from 10% to 91%. Corporate rates from 15% to 53%. Gift taxes, estate taxes, etc. have all varied. And yet, total tax revenue has stayed nearly constant at 17.7% of GDP.
It doesn’t matter how much they increase tax rates– they won’t collect any more money.
5) GDP growth prospects are tepid at best. Facing so many headwinds like quickening inflation, an enormous debt load, and debilitating regulatory burdens, the US economy is barely keeping pace with population growth.
6) The only thing registering any meaningful growth in the US is the national debt. It took over 200 years for the US government to accumulate its first trillion dollars in debt. It took just 286 days to accumulate the most recent trillion (from $15 trillion to $16 trillion).
Last month alone, the first full month of Fiscal Year 2013, the US government accumulated nearly $200 billion in new debt– 20% of the way to a fresh trillion in just 31 days.
7) Not to mention, the numbers will only continue to get worse. 10,000 people each day begin receiving mandatory entitlements. Fewer people remain behind to pay into the system. The debt keeps rising, and interest payments will continue rising.
8) Curiously, a series of polls taken by ABC News/Washington Post and NBC News/Wall Street Journal show that while 80% of Americans are concerned about the debt, roughly the same amount (78%) oppose cutbacks to mandatory entitlements like Medicare.
9) Bottom line, the US government is legally bound to spend more money on mandatory entitlements and interest than it can raise in tax revenue. It won’t make a difference how high they raise taxes, or even if they cut everything else that remains in government as we know it.
This is not a political problem, it’s a mathematical one. Facts are facts, no matter how uncomfortable they may be. Today’s election is merely a choice of who is going to captain the sinking Titanic.

HERE WE GO


George Offerman

I find it totally incredulous that the American people were dumb enough to reelect Osama Bin Laden Obama Barry Sotero.  I am also dismayed over how the American Bishops and the useless USCCB did virtually nothing to inform the Catholic population about the duty to vote pro-life as well as anti-homosexual marriage.  This president will now finish the hatchet job on faith based anything, given he is now a lame duck and no longer needs to worry about polls or anything resembling any type of accountability.  I guess taking away rights and running huge deficits means little to the ‘47%’.
We did not have much of a choice between the sitting criminal in chief and Romney, but at least concerning religious freedoms, Romney at least verbalized a desire to stop the ongoing assault on religious freedoms.  So we can expect to see more persecution of Christians and Christianity by the Muslim in office and I am getting a very sinking feeling that we have no idea what’s in store for the next four years.
For those of you who voted for the criminal in chief; you get what you deserve and you have absolutely no right to complain about anything he does, given we had so much warning about him through the prior four years.  For you church leaders; may you stay out of jail if (not when) you decide to resist the mandates of this administration to open up your services to serve the devil and his whims.  For the liberals and the rest; may you find charitable people when your ‘benefits’ run out due to lack of ‘revenue’ and the producers quit and cut off funding and you find yourselves hungry, naked and homeless.  The criminal in chief will not come to your rescue, nor does he really care about your welfare.
We’ve now commenced this ride and it will take us to places we don’t want to go and it will require us to see things we don’t want to see.  America has decided to take the bullet to the head and it is a lethal choice.  Those who understand and can see where this is going will now enter the action phase and do what they need to do for themselves and their families.  Time is not yet out for action, but yesterday’s election just sped up the clock.  If the devil is who America wants to hang out with, then America has knowingly gotten onto the road to hell.  Don’t complain about the ride.

ALL SOULS DAY

George Offerman

Happy All Souls day to you.  This is a time I think of my late fatehr, as well as all of those who went before.  I would like to think of many of these people such as my late father and people who passed recently, such as pro life warrior Dr. Kling are with the Church Triumphant and in heaven with our lord and it is in that hope that I continue to believe.

It also gives me pause to think of how we who are still here have to live in the Church Militant, and how unjust and persucatorial events still occur to us from malevolent people, who want to appear as caring and concerned, but will go to any lengths to harm and/or destroy one due to whatever deluded thought process happens to enter their crazed heads.

I wish those of you striving for sanctity, Peace be with you.  For the rest:  God is watching.
