The Warning Signs that Government Collapse is Imminent

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Ah. These are exciting times that we live in.

This article discusses a very uncomfortable point in time. That is when local, state and federal government is no longer in substantive control. It’s a transitional period. It is when one government style fails, and another one takes it’s place. Historically, it is a given development that eventually happens to all nations. All of them. Including the (virginal) United States.

We, as Americans, have never been in this situation.

Because, we and our parents have never experienced it, we think that it will never ever happen to us. As such we tend to laugh, make fun of, and disparage those that argue that it might. We call them “radical preppers”, “members of the tin-foil-hat army”, and “uni-bomber wanna-bes”. Other terms that come to mind include “fruit cake” and “bonkers”.

The argument is always like this;

“First of all, America is large, modern, and well managed. Societal collapse only happens to mismanaged tyrannies. It never happens to an advanced “democracy” like the United States.”

(Yes, I know that United States was formed as a Republic. Most Americans don’t know this. Which is why the statement is in quotations.)

“Second of all, the American people ARE the government. If their elected representatives fall in love with tyranny, the American people will vote them out of office. The American people are far too strong. They have guns. They (the government) will NEVER try to seize them. After all, the argument goes, “When they come to my front porch, I’ll teach them a lesson or two.”

The bravado is laudable.

The time is rapidly coming when we’re going to have to "open the ammo box".

And so what, exactly? Take them out of the box, shine them up, and put them back in the box? Because that is what's been happening for decades now. Conservative keep saying "don't cross this line in the sand", yet don't realize the cliff behind them is one more line in the sand away. Getting tired of all of this bragging about firing back when not one damn thing has been done since forever.

What is a “Collapse”

"...first, the French traffic fines are ubiquitous, and the government  has set the stage for this by ramping them up. The fines are very high:  $70 just for going as little as a single kilometer over the speed limit  on a first offense, and as the tourist boards show, oh, yes, they do  issue them – and hunt you into the grave to get them. They even fine  people for having red light camera-detectors – $32,000, two years' jail,  and three years' license suspension. They've also reduced the speed  limit, even in rural areas, where higher speeds are a necessity, to one  size fits all for geographically diverse, "246 kinds of cheese" France,  all in the name of "safety," or as the Brits would say, "your own  good..."

-American Thinker

The term “collapse” can mean many things. To some people it might mean [1] a scene out of a science fiction movie where there is a total breakdown in all governmental functions. Sort of like a scene from the television show “The Walking Dead”, so (in other words) a zombie movie.

Oh, it might seem all fun and games. But, the real deal will be anything but fun. Think of starvation, sleeping wet and cold with a high fever. Consider your friends and loved ones dead or dying. A real apocalypse will not be pretty.

Zombieland
Zombie movies are popular for many reasons. In it, the heroes or heroines try to survive in a world where the government has collapsed, and they must survive based on their wits and abilities.

To others [2] , it might mean that there is a revolution and a period of confusion where local, state and federal government services are disjointed and confused. Think of the French Revolution, or what happened to Nicolae Ceausescu,the dictator of Romania.

There are elements of progressive liberal socialists that are earnestly trying to foment this kind of revolutionary change. They have been weaned in the belief that they, somehow, will become in control. As if revolution is some kind of real-life first-person-shooter. It isn’t.

Twenty-five years ago the people rose up against Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, executed him and set the country on a path to democracy. (AP Photo/Dusan Vranic, File)

To still others [3] it might mean the collapse in the stock market and a plummeting in the value of the US Dollar as a means of commerce.

Never a good thing, the United States has been artificially manipulated with a serious of “bubbles”. Sooner or later, these “bubbles” will need to contract. It will not be good for anyone, or any business tied to the stock market.

Stock Market Crash.
The feel-good times of the “Roaring 20’s” came to a screeching halt when the Stock Market crashed. Since that date, the market has crashed and reset numerous times. How well it will influence the general population depends a lot on it’s apparent influence.

There is a great deal of variation on what a “collapse” is depending on your social status, your financial situation, your geographical region, and your source of income. Therefore, to be inclusive, I use this term here very broadly.

  • It is a [1] period of “discomfort” where the established “normal” way of life is altered in some fashion. It is altered because the government is undergoing a change or revision of some sort.
  • This will be accompanied with [2] either a loss of possessions, Rights or abilities, and / or an increase in restrictions of some form or the other.
  • Finally, it will include [3] a defanging of the population in some manner. Whether it is the outlawing of weapons, the rewriting of the second amendment or some kind of rule(s) that make it difficult for the American citizen to redress any kind of grievances. This will be especially true when fraud, deception and crimes make the Constitutionally prescribed avenues of redress insignificant.
Kevin D. Williamson: They watched crimes being committed and did nothing.
Madeleine Kearns: How do the police balance peacekeeping with First Amendment rights?
Kevin D. Williamson: There isn’t anything unpeaceable about the exercise of First Amendment rights. I don’t care for mass protests myself — a large crowd of people all facing one direction and chanting seems to me more properly part of a religious exercise than a political one. But if that’s your thing, then by all means go and bark at the moon. But when people start blocking traffic, pounding on the hoods of cars, damaging property, committing assaults, that’s a different thing. And I don’t think there’s really much of a First Amendment issue presented by policing ordinary crime when that crime happens in the course of a political action.

The “collapse” will be a period of great discomfort for the bulk of Americans.

Depending on your circumstances, you might find anything from progressive socialists unhappy that they cannot get their moca-frappa-latte at Starbucks, to suburban white families starving in the streets. The “collapse” will mean different things for different people. It’s up to you, the reader, to ascertain what it will mean for you and your family.

A notorious, vicious drunk, Johnson had himself filmed as he ordered his men to torture Doe. While he sat behind a desk with two open cans of Budweiser beer, a young woman fanning him from behind, Johnson ordered his men to strip Doe. The portly president kneeled before Johnson in his underwear, quivering, sobbing, begging. Johnson’s men hacked off his ears. Blood poured down his torso. Doe’s body was later found dumped outside a medical clinic.

The “Event”

Based upon history, the resolution will not be based on compromise, civility, reason, or peaceful means. The combustible combination of unpayable debt, civic anarchy, and global chaos are set to detonate, creating an era of maximum darkness, death, destruction, and decisions.  

Making America Great Again will require personal sacrifice, dreadful choices, survival skills, intelligent decisions, and the courage to win at all costs.

-2019 from a Fourth Turning perspective.

What I refer to as “the collapse” goes by different terms and conventions depending who you might talk to. Some call this “The Fourth Turning” which refers to the theory of generational change. Others refer to this in a more visceral way, referring to it as the SHTF (The Shit hits The Fan.). Still others simply refer to this as “The Collapse”, or “The Event”. Other terms include…

  • The Collapse
  • A Generational Reset
  • A Revolution of the People
  • A Restructuring of Society
  • The Event
  • The Fourth Turning
  • SHTF

For Americans, there will not be any clear and defined point in time when The Event happens. In general, that will be the point in time when the government goes blatantly rogue. The key word here is “blatantly”.

  • I argue that this will occur when the FBI becomes autonomous and tries to seize control of the government.
  • I argue that this will occur when the Judges will become obstacles to normal government operations.
  • I argue that this will occur when the election system is so broken that widespread fraud is reported without consequence in the media and zero action is taken to correct it.
  • I argue that this is a point in time when seditious activities are not only discussed openly, but applauded as future events.

I argue that WE ARE THERE now.

You are here.
General graph of the state of transition of events prior to a major reset. I argue that we are close enough to The Event that we can consider ourselves near to the danger zone. Now is the time to make preparations, what ever you might believe necessary to secure your standard of living, your family and your resources.

However, others disagree. They point out that the ballot harvesting to change the vote tallies in California (and flip 40 some districts) is inconsequential. They argue that it is fine to have an FBI conducting a coup against the President. They suggest that when SHTF occurs they will know about it. They suggest that the stock market is the true and ONLY indicator of The Event.

Maybe.

>>This isn’t merely a question for Trump supporters, but for  anyone who still thinks that a political system that isn’t completely  run by thugs, with only a simulacrum of democracy as window dressing, is  something worth trying to maintain and improve. <<

It is a fool’s errand to attempt to save the Union. The ideological gap between left and right is far to wide to ever bridge. They are polar opposites.

The best we can hope for is an amicable split. Fredrick Douglas wondered if the US is just to large an area to be governed by one central government in Washington. It is, a “one size fits all” system is not working

The sooner the majority of people in this country realize that and start the process of diving the nation in a peaceful manner, the better. Otherwise, we will continue our slow decent into hell.

- Posted HERE at1/27/2019, 7:44:54 AM by Tejas Rob

I argue that The Event will not be televised. I argue that CNN will not have discussion boards of “experts” debating back and forth about the implications of “The Event”. I argue that many things are going on in secret and behind the scenes, and the bulk of Americans will be unaware of what is going on until it is too late.

The ruling class will not accept the outcome of any presidential  election it does not win. Trump notwithstanding, this class will rule as  it has in the past three years. So long as its hold on American  institutions continues to grow, and they retain millions of clients,  elections won’t really matter. Our country is in a state of revolution,  irreversibly, because society’s most influential people have retreated  into moral autarchy, have seceded from America’s constitutional order,  and because they browbeat their socio-political adversaries instead of  trying to persuade them. Theirs is not a choice that can be reversed.  Our ultimate objective is peace, but what kind of peace we may get  depends on the extent to which we may compel our enemies to leave us in  peace. And for that, we must do unto them more and before they do unto  us. 

-Codevilla

I argue that this upcoming event was long planned, and while the timeline is offset by the election of Donald Trump, the process and procedure is still in place. Some elements have advanced, and some were stymied. Never the less, the event will go as planned.

“During every stage, the process of imposing tyranny by stealth is  cloaked with a veneer of bogus legality. But thanks to the vision and  wisdom of our founding fathers, our liberty has two clear and  unbreakable lines of defense: the First and Second Amendments.”

-Bracken: Covington Gives a Glimpse of Civil War Two

A Long Drawn-Out Process

 
I actually read the EU Constitution once...out of curiosity. I  wondered how ours can be so short, and if followed, is a remarkable  instrument. 

So when I read it, I was appalled at it. 

It is written in  legalese, and panders to nearly every damn protected group.
 
It is a body of unelected bureaucrats. 

When I heard that the UK was  going to leave it, I was elated because most people there don’t realize  what a bullet missed them if they do manage to withdraw. But I think they won’t. They have their own deep state as well.

So far it has been a very slow and long drawn out process.

We have become acclimatized to the idea that it is “normal” for our government to be rogue. While there is an obvious “deep state”, and an obvious state of political corruption, there still remains elements of the government that (at least on the surface) maintain the form of decorum and principle. Some.

Bill of Rights
President Obama had no qualms in redefining the Rights of man. He was supposedly a “Legal Scholar”, but his understanding of the basic ideas that the nation was founded upon were laughingly missing. What is the point in having a Bill of Rights when they are not enforced, and guarded by those in government. Obviously something is amiss.

It’s all “crazy talk”

With the declarations of sanctuary, the governor of California has already seceeded.

The President should invade California with US Army troops, capture the entire government and downgrade the state to federally controlled Territorial status. In so doing, the entire congressional and senate delegations would cease to exist. The territorial border can be placed under firm military control .

- Opening the Floodgates of Secession 1/26/2019, 10:35:00 PM comment 29 of 39

As such, we have become acclimatized and accustomed to the government being dysfunctional. Just like we think nothing of getting undressed to board a airplane, pissing in a cup to get a job, or giving out our social security number to every Tom, Dick and Harry that asks for it. We, for the most part, have truly forgotten the foundational principles of liberty that America was founded upon.

  • We could speak our minds.
  • We could defend ourselves, our families, and our livelihood.
  • We we free of taxation.
  • Our personal matters were private, and kept that way.
  • We never had to change our behaviors for any reason.
  • We never had to report to any government official.
  • We were never forced to buy or purchase anything.

The “good old days” are now gone. We are currently in a transitional nightmare as our Republic barrels down headlong towards a tyrannical progressive socialist dictatorship.

The Big Event.
The FBI’s Peter Strzok planned a coup against the elected President. This was all recorded by the NSA. He viewed the idea that the people could vote in their elected officials to be dangerous, and that he and others in the “shadow government” could unseat the president. They would then operate the reigns of the government from behind the scenes as what was proper and right (in his mind).

As such, there are elements within government, and their political circles, that want to continue this process and exacerbate it to a fruitful (to them) conclusion. They look forward to the day when they have full aristocratic control of the reigns of power over Americans. They look forward to the day when the populace can be disarmed like the Australians or the Brits, and then implement the (already planned) policies that will merge America into a borderless global “utopia”.

One, of course, ruled by them. And, of course, where everyone else is absolutely and positively controlled by them.

Trump also speaks for the working class dismissed by Democrats as the “Trump Deplorables.”  It  is the working class that has paid for “globalism” and trade deals by  having their jobs given to foreigners. 

The way America is ruled, it  benefits the One Percent with crumbs spilling down to the top 10  percent.  No one else benefits.  

Trump is a multi-billionaire who  aligned with working Americans. That’s how he got elected. I remember  driving through working class neighborhoods and seeing only Trump signs.  That’s  when I knew he would be elected. 

The Democrats have abandoned the  working class and the poor for Wall Street money. Bill Clinton and  Hillary showed them the way. 

- Paul Craig Roberts

To them, they see various elements of success in other nations. They note how easy it was to disarm Australians and Brits. They note how difficult it is for Britain to leave the EU. They note how Brussels has control over other NATO signed nations and are doing things that their civilian population loathe. They are emboldened by this knowledge.

Australian firearm turn in
There was a time when all Australians could own firearms. Then the government banned the guns “for the children”. Initially, they offered voluntary collection and turn-in programs. Here are some firearms turned in by an aged grandmother after her husband died.

The End Game

Now, what will happen, the one thing that just about everyone can agree upon, is there will be a point in time when the government “takes charge“. This point in time will mean different things depending on the philosophy of the people yearning for it.

  • To the Conservatives, this means when the Constitution will be followed. The American people would get their Rights returned back to them. The government would greatly shrink in size, the taxes would decrease and the global endless series of wars would end. To many conservative, it seemed like the election of Donald Trump would be the start of a long process where this could actually reverse centuries of corruption.
  • To the Progressive Socialists, this means when a (parental) socialist government rewrites the Constitution. A “nanny state” would control all the citizenry in benevolence. They would tell us what to eat, how to dress, how to act and how to behave. The rulers would be perfect and benevolent. In their minds they see Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders as leading this effort. They see them handing out favors to “the blessed ones”, and dishing out punishments to those undeserving.
Line up arrest.
Here is a mass arrest in Russia. Why does everyone think it cannot happen in America? Certainly we have democrat elected officials openly calling for mass arrests of “deplorables”, they are calling for civil strife, and public attacks.
A black uprising led by Kanye West has struck fear into the hearts of  Democrats, giving them further incentive to keeping the southern border  open to new Democrat voters.  With gun grabbing liberal politicians  attempting to disarm the deplorables in flyover country, while  supporting antifa and black lives matter terrorists, and thwarting  efforts to keep criminals and terrorists from illegally entering the  country, a violent showdown is inevitable.

-2019 from a Fourth Turning perspective.
  • In the case of the Tyrannical Progressive Left, this means when the Bill of Rights is no longer considered an obstacle to the desires of those in power. It would be destroyed and in it’s place would be a Bill of Privileges that are things granted tot he citizens by the ruling elite. They hold a very dangerous and radical agenda that is in alignment with Pol Pot, and views the actions of Hitler and Stalin to be amateurish.
Nazi arresting Jews
When the progressive liberals came to power in Germany, they called themselves Nazi’s. They then identified their enemies. Today we call them “deplorables”, but for the Nazi’s they called them the undesirables, and that included a wide range of people.
On the more normal political front, I spoke with a local union leader  who gave me some pretty good insight on how the Trump phenomenon had  radicalized her membership. The thing about places like Portland and San  Francisco is that they aren’t nice. They have a reputation for being wooly and hippieish and silly, but they are in fact very angry  places, full of very angry people. They are also highly segregated places in ways that the South and Southwest really aren’t. Angry white people with money make the world go ’round, apparently.

-Antifa Exposed

We can see this happening all around us… in little drips and dabs, depending on what is reported to us and what isn’t. The Bill of Rights has been so rewritten to be nearly meaningless to the average American citizen…

  • Political Correctness is an affront to the First Amendment.
  • Every “Gun Control” bill is an affront to the Second Amendment.
  • Even the Third Amendment is under assault. And the judges now say that it is not a Personal Right.  Maybe they should read the preamble to the Bill of Rights.
  • They say that “No Knock Raids” do not violate the Fourth Amendment…

Etc. Etc. Etc…

The Tattered Constitution

Madeleine Kearns: You’ve written that Portland’s mayor is partly responsible. In terms of policy — what do you think could be done?
Kevin D. Williamson: He might consider asking the police officers who work for him to enforce the law.
Madeleine Kearns: In what way were the anti-fascist protesters you saw fascists?
Kevin D. Williamson: They are the American Left’s answer to the Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazionale, down to the penchant for black shirts. They perform the same function: using violence and intimidation to silence political opposition and to terrorize the political opposition. “Fascist” is a notoriously difficult word to define, but they are as close to a textbook case as you are going to find.
Madeleine Kearns: You write that their “idol is the proletariat rather than the nation.” Could you please unpack that?
Kevin D. Williamson: Utopian political movements — and all totalitarian movements are basically utopian — love the world, except for all the people in it. They all are antiliberal and they all seek to degrade the individual and individualism. Their liturgy requires an object of adoration, and it’s usually the same object: the People, or, as American populists like to put it, We the People. For traditional nationalists, it’s the Nation in abstract and idealized form; for socialists, it’s always been the proletariat, who apparently are the only people included in the People. If you’re acting in the name of the People, you can brutalize persons. The interests of the People require a gulag, the interests of the People require a death camp, and if the people have to suffer for the People, then so be it.

-Antifa Exposed

All of these events, these terrible terrible events that we are tired hearing about, and which anger us so are really just symptoms. They are just a multitude of small bites, snips, nips and tears at the Constitution. It has been going on for a very long time, and while many people are aware of it, and frustrated by it, we prefer to believe that the bare bones of the Constitution will still remain intact.

It is like an army of little “piranha fish” are tearing the very fabric of the Constitution and doing so unopposed. Our elected officials either support their efforts, or shiver under their desks in fear.

We believe that all these little nips and tears at the fabric of the Constitution will either eventually end, out of exhaustion, or maybe some strong lawman might step in and take control. Maybe some day, we all collectively hope.

Well, I hate to bust your collective bubble. It’s not going to happen.

What will happen is that there will be a point in time that the “piranha fish” that are tearing at the Constitution will eventually hit the bare bones, the fundamental bedrock of the Constitution. There will be no meat left, and only one final step will need to take place.

That final step will require a bigger fish with the jaws that can break up the bones into tiny bite sized pieces. This bigger “fish” must make it’s appearance. For all the actions and activities of the progressive left are counting on this big fish event.

The Handover

Now, that being said, the big turning point will be when there are [1] organized door-to-door collections of either firearms or firearm accessories.

Other elements that we can look forward to, in prelude to this collection activity will include; [2] Laws for registration of firearms, [3] laws for collection of selected ammo, or firearm parts, [4] registration of guns or their owners and of course [5] the mainstream blanket reporting supporting the collection of firearms.

It is already happening…

Two police officers ordered to remove firearms from a house on a “red flag” protective order fatally shot an armed man Monday morning in Ferndale, Maryland, police said.

Anne Arundel County Police arrived at the house at 5:17 a.m. to remove guns from the home. This was under a new law that allows for the seizure of firearms if a person shows “red flags” that they are a danger to themselves or others.

- November 2018. The Baltimore Sun. More information can be found HERE.

Already there are articles and articles supporting that notion that disarming people makes for a more peaceful world. Such as this nonsense from VOX. Aside from the onslaught of propaganda, there are many people who actually believe that disarming people, and letting the “government” take “parental-style” control over everything will bring about paradise.

Progressive Liberal socialist utopia.
Many followers of the progressive liberal socialist dream actually believe that a utopia can be achieved. Their understanding of how the universe, the world, culture and society is forged upon distortions, thus creating this imagined perfection that they actually believe is attainable.
A New Jersey law that makes it a felony to possess a gun magazine capable of holding over 10 rounds of ammunition is now active. This wildly unconstitutional law instantly criminalizes hundreds of thousands of New Jersey citizens who legally acquired normal capacity firearms magazines — which include 17-round pistol magazines and 30-round rifle magazines — as tools of self-defense against the very same violent criminals that are protected by the Democrats who passed the gun magazine ban.

Now, the New Jersey State Police have told Breitbart News they won’t rule out “house-to-house enforcement” of the new magazine ban, meaning they plan to conduct house-to-house arrests and gun magazine confiscations. These Nazi-style anti-gun operations will, of course, be carried out at gunpoint, further underscoring the entire purpose of the Second Amendment and the need for citizens to arm themselves with 30-round magazines to defend against government tyranny.

“Breitbart News contacted New Jersey State Police on Monday to ask how they planned to enforce the newly enacted ban,” reports Breitbart.com. “The NJ State Police refused to rule out house-to-house checks. Rather, they responded: ‘We do not discuss enforcement strategies.’”

The very reason citizens need 30-round magazines is because the government wants to use coercion and the threat of violence to take away their legally-acquired firearms and magazines. If citizens surrender 30-round magazines, the next step will be New Jersey banning all magazines, followed by the banning of all semi-automatic firearms. Almost overnight, citizens of New Jersey will find themselves living under an authoritarian regime of pure tyranny and lawlessness… with no means to defend themselves against the state, which will then have a monopoly on effective firearms.
This is a repeat of Nazi Germany, which disarmed the Jews before mass murdering six million of them.

It’s so much easier to murder people, after all, when the government disarms them first. And anyone going along with the disarmament is signing their own death warrant.

Collection Leadership

Those owning the last obstacle to tyrannical control; firearms will be defied and spoken of in the pejorative.

This has been going on for decades, and there is a systematic process that is being honed every few years using “crisis actors”, a easily controlled media, and selective reporting. Today, an event and an anti-gun narrative can be concocted at the flip of a switch.

Remember, boys and girls, the monied elite; the oligarchy has everything all planned out. They fund the politicians and the insurgents. Certainly you can recall this, can’t you…

ISIS CIA convoy
The ISIS was fully funded by American tax dollars through the CIA. Evidence is highly suggestive that it was part of a larger plan orchestrated by Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton to establish a socialist Arab enclave in the Mid-East fully funded and aligned with their own interests. This all fell apart when Donald Trump was elected President. The point here is that the oligarchy will fund and establish military units to go against American citizens.

It’s all planned.

These events have been planned years ahead of time. When things do not go the way as planned, other elements already in place, still must proceed. The result being a very odd juxtaposition of mainstream media confusion and a bid thud in the people’s reaction.

Do not be under the impression that the 2017 Las Vegas shooting was random. It wasn’t. It was planned months earlier, if not years. There is ALWAYS a mass shooting within the first six months of a Democrat Presidents election. It happened with Bill Clinton, it happened with Barrack Obama, and it was planned for Hillary Clinton. In this case it was a “dud”, as she wasn’t elected. Donald Trump was elected President instead.

However, in 2017, with Donald Trump as president, only half of the anti-gun “machine” could be actuated.

In Australia, it was the "Port Arthur rampage" which prompted a severe crackdown on firearms that saw more than 640,000 weapons turned in to authorities.  The Australian government subsequently introduced the National Firearms  Agreement — legislation that outlawed automatic and semi-automatic  rifles, as well as pump-action shotguns. A nationwide gun buyback scheme  also saw more than 640,000 weapons turned in to authorities.  

This is a reminder for those of you who still don’t “get it”. Those who are in positions of power in the Untied States have got there, not by luck, but being skilled in the means of deception. They are experts at deceit. They will do [1] what ever is necessary, and [2] use enormous piles of money, [3] mass group manipulation, [4] laws, and [5] states of emergency to disarm Americans.

This is because an armed populace is the only thing that is really stopping them from complete and total control.

Collecting the dissidents.
Once the people are disarmed, it is much easier to control them. Today, people can be threatened and forced into compliance with a barbed wire of rules and regulations. However, there STILL is the threat that they will shot back. Until that threat is eliminated, the socialists are hesitant in implementation of their “final solution” against deplorables.

(It seems kind of silly, doesn’t it? I mean, don’t they all have enough riches and wealth already? Don’t they have enough power already? What more power could they ever possibly want or even need? – But that’s not the issue is it. Greed, and power are vices that can never be satiated, or satisfied.)

There has been a long-term effort by “the powers that be” to disarm Americans. They are active in both political parties, with a near-complete stranglehold in the Democratic party. Thus, whenever a Democratic President is elected a system of events converge to create a favorable environment for total and complete gun confiscation.

Obama
President Obama crying that he cannot take guns away from innocent citizens. Never the less, he wrote execute orders and enacted efforts to make access to ammo and weapons to be very difficult for American citizens while equipping all Federal agencies with military grade hardware.

The election of Hillary Clinton was to have solidified the anti-gun movement and resulted in the destruction of the second amendment. With an immediate effort to seize all privately owned firearms.

The plan was to have a virtual smorgasbord of firearms involved in the shooting, thus the effort would be to have a wide swath of firearms banned from public access. (Ah, certainly the reader can remember the wide selection of firearms that the shooter had amassed, both at home and the 24 planned-to-be-banned weapons in his hotel room? The “talking heads” openly wondered aloud why he carried so many firearms up to the hotel room with him. When the reality is that it would support a wide-ranging and all-inclusive gun-ban narrative that was set up and in place prior to launch.)

Poor Hillary Clinton. Plans don't always work out the way they were planned. Hillary Clinton should well take solace in the Beer Hall Putsch.

The Beer Hall Putsch was a failed coup d'état that occurred on November 9, 1923, when the Nazi party's leader Adolf Hitler, the popular World War I General Erich Ludendorff, and other leaders of the Kampfbund, unsuccessfully tried to gain power in Munich, Bavaria, and Germany.

While I have no idea how this was supposed to manifest, I strongly suspect that it involved a liberal leaning supreme court. One that would be put in place by Hillary Clinton.

Thus, it was expected that the Supreme Court would rule that the second amendment was not an “individual right”, but rather a “right of government”. As bastardized as this would be, this is how I think it was supposed to manifest.

Supreme court justice Ginsberg.
Supreme court justice Ginsberg is dedicated into turning America into a socialist nations much like the former Communist Russia or China under Mr. Mao. This is her life-long goal and will work on this goal until she dies.

Donald Trump’s Election only postponed the banning of firearms

I hate to break this news to you all, but history is pretty darn clear on this. When the oligarchy wants something done, they will push and push until it is accomplished. As such, let me tell you this. They WILL disarm Americans. At least most Americans. It might not happen this week, or next month, but it will happen.

The next Democrat President, no matter what they promise, will effectively ban the private citizen ownership of firearms.

Firearm collection and banning WILL happen in the United States.

In case I am not clear, I will repeat. You might want to believe that you can stand your ground. You might think that you have inalienable Rights. You might think that you have the law on your side. You might think all of this.

The reality is not like some rock-music video “when the bullet hits the bone”, but rather when the polite police man tells you to turn around and put your hands behind your back. He will tell you to turn your wrists to make it easier to put the icy cold stainless-steel handcuffs on. Or he might use wire-ties if they are going to stop at multiple houses.

Mass grave.
Do not think that in today’s “modern” and “enlightened” society that we are beyond mass genocide against a particular race, or group of people. Here are people who were seized out of their homes at the dead of night by militarized police (the Federal Police), handcuffed with wire-ties and then killed and dumped in a mass grave. What? You think America can’t relive the Bosina experience?

You won’t dash back into your house to grab your .30-30, or .303. It won’t be a scene from “The Walking Dead”, or an event where you will act like 007 or Jason Bourne. Nope. As soon as you step outside your front door, armored military vehicles will swarm all over your property.

They will tear up your rose bushes, knock down your shrubs, and block your access out of the driveway. There will be snipers and secondary SWAT team members at the rear of your house, and they will tumble out of the vehicles wearing black, with armor and Kevlar vests. They will have fully automatic weapons, wear combat helmets, and will be pointing the weapons at you and your family.

If your dog starts barking, or leaps at them, it will be killed. Your children will start crying, and everyone will be on edge. Oh sure, they will have a warrant, though they really don’t need it. It’s all a formality, anyways…

DHS vehicle
The DHS is well armed with military grade vehicles, and armor. They are trained to fight on American soil. The Obama administration has been setting up the stages for an armed conflict of Americans against Americans.

The Rulers think differently than the rabble

Firstly, you need to unlearn all what you have read about in History and Civics class. The Constitution and the Government only works in certain ways depending on who runs it.

Today we have a massive “deep state” that operate in ways beneficial for the state apparatus and the oligarchy that control their leadership. What the Constitution says and what you have learned is meaningless.

Female deplorables.
When the progressive liberal socialists came to power in Germany, they called themselves Nazi’s. One of the first things that they did was start collecting “undesirables” and sending them off to camps “for their own safety”. There they worked under grueling conditions, and many died.

Many rulers, once they get the strings of power interpret the Constitution to their own personal benefit. This is a basic fact, one that the founders of the United States recognized, but one that we the people have forgotten. Leaders interpret the Constitution however they want it to be used. It’s not just American political leadership that does this, but foreign leaders as well.

Consider Hitler. So did Idi Amin. So does Nicolás Maduro Moros in Venezuela. So does Cyril Ramaphosa in South Africa. What do they all have in common?

The law is what ever they say it is.

When a new prisoner arrived at Ravensbrück she was required to wear a colour-coded triangle (a winkel)  that identified her by category, with a letter sewn within the triangle  indicating the prisoner’s nationality. 

For example, Polish women wore red triangles, denoting a political prisoner, with a letter “P”. (By 1942, Polish women became the largest national component at the camp.)

Soviet prisoners of war, and German and Austrian Communists also wore red triangles; common criminals wore green triangles; and Jehovah’s Witnesses were labelled with lavender triangles.

Prostitutes, Gypsies, lesbians, or women who refused to marry were classified separately, with black triangles. Jewish women wore yellow triangles but sometimes, unlike the other prisoners, they wore a second triangle for the other categories.

-Ravensbruck

When they come to power, and they say that there is a new law that takes away guns, and right or wrong, they will disarm you. They will. And you might not want to face that fact, but they will do so. If you show the slightest hesitation they will kill you and your family.

Mass grave.
Mass graves like this are common all over the world. They are what happens once there is a change in government and a new government takes charge.

And you, yes YOU, will cringe in supplication as you hand over your firearms, your ammo, your prized memorabilia to the well-armed SWAT team dressed in black that has a .50 cal machine gun pointed at your family.

They will take them.

And you, out of the concern for your loved ones, will hand them all over.

Know your history 1
In the 1930’s the German progressive-liberal socialist government (the Nazi’s) ordered the registration and then the collection of all firearms. Then less than a decade later they started rounding up certain classes and groups of people to “protect” them. These people were taken to “safe areas” known as reservations and camps. There they were killed in mass.

Gun Confiscation will be the LAST warning sign

It will not be the first. It will not be the only one. Yes, it will not be the only warning sign.

In fact, during the time of collection, the economy will still be humming along. The news papers will still talk about the latest political scandals (of a trivial nature of course), and people will still be watching the movies out of Hollywood. It will seem like an ordinary day.

Any armed resistance to the confiscation efforts will NOT be reported. If anything, they will be under-reported by alternative media and labeled as tin-foil-hat conspiracy stuff, if not blanket shadow-banned by the software conglomerates.

Tin foil hat
Alex Jones of infowars dons a tin-foil hat to make a point. During the mass purge of firearms and the suppression of individual rights in the United States, anyone not following the “official” government policy lines will be branded a tin-foil-hat conspirator.

What the collection of the guns and weapons will do, however is enable to the government to stop propping up some unfavorable (to them, in leadership positions of power) politically-dangerous positions. They will no longer need to hold various policy positions. They will no longer need to give lip-service to certain programs or actions, or even rules of law. They will be free to implement their long-kept secret plans…

These plans were kept secret for a series of reasons.

Typically they are because they would be unpopular, but also because they would be anti-Constitutional. Thus, with the population disarmed, they could implement their full intended agenda. They will then start to announce very unpopular actions, rules, laws, and policies. These polices, rules and laws will be obviously anti-Constitutional.

They will start to implement these polices rapidly, and quickly.

Ravensbrück was the only major women’s concentration camp during  World War II, located in northern Germany, 90 km north of Berlin at a  site near the village of Ravensbrück.

Construction of the camp began in November 1938 by the order of the SS leader Heinrich Himmler and was unusual in that the camp was intended to hold exclusively female inmates. The facility opened in May 1939 and underwent major expansion following the invasion of Poland. Between 1939 and 1945, some 130,000 to 132,000 female prisoners passed through the Ravensbrück camp system; around 40,000 were Polish and 26,000 were Jewish from all countries including Germany,18,800 Russian; 8,000 French, and 1,000 Dutch.

According to Encyclopædia Britannica, about 50,000 of them perished from disease, starvation, overwork and despair; some 2,200 were killed in the gas chambers.

Only 15,000 of the total survived until liberation. According to Britannica, on 29–30 April 1945 some 3,500 female prisoners were still alive in the main camp. Although the inmates came from every country in German-occupied Europe, the largest single national group incarcerated in the camp consisted of Polish women.

Within a half of a year, once the policies are enacted, various segments of society will start to fall apart. I cannot predict what will happen to the “neck of the woods” where the reader lives. As the collapse will be gradual… it will be regional… and it will be under-reported.

I will stress… it will be under-reported, if reported at all.

Monrovia
Revolutions are ugly. This is a scene in Monrovia in August 1990. There is nothing fun or enjoyable about violence. You need to win, losing is unacceptable. If you lose, you WILL die.

A Period of Discomfort

In my understanding, there will be some periods of discomfort in the United States. It should peak in the middle 2020’s and be resolved by 2030 or so. So, we can expect a climax to this current Crisis sometime in the 2025 range. The question for us, at this time, is what events will transpire between 2019 and 2025 (the six years) before a climax is reached.

The level of discomfort will vary from person to person depending on where they live, their support network, and their degree of preparation.

Of course, what do I know? I am often wrong, and I have made mistakes. I am sure that at any time now, the progressive liberal socialists might mellow out and have a breather. They might calm down and stop their attacks on president Trump, mitigate their politically correct arguments, and take a step backwards from their more radical elements.

They might, you know. It is a possibility.

I however am not discussing the world of rainbows, and prancing unicorns in fields of lollipops and free “medical” marijuana for everyone. No, I am discussing what happens when the worst fears actually materialize. I am discussing what MIGHT happen.

Wounded Knee
When the Army ordered the Sioux to give up their weapons, one Native American fired his weapon, and the army fired back…… Sioux were killed.

This period of discomfort might vary from person to person. I rather doubt that everyone would experience the same level of discomfort.

For some, it might mean only that the value of their stocks have decreased. For others, it might mean that they might have to alter their way of life as their standard of living has changed. Some people and families might find that it is more difficult to drive around in their cars. Others might discover that their favorite foods are more difficult to obtain. Still others might discover that there just isn’t any work, or that the social-support functions of government has collapsed.

Yet, and for others, it might mean something quite grim.

These kinds of societal evolution can get very ugly. We know what happened during the purges by Stalin in the Soviet Union, we know what happened during the American civil war. We know what happened when Mr. Mao came to power in China. We know what happened in Bosnia. We well remember the French Revolution.

Venezuela unrest
Venezuela unrest. When the government failed to provide the basic needs of the population, they started to complain and ask that things would get taken cared of. The government reaction was a show of military and police and a brutal crackdown on the civilian population.

Here we look at the grim side of change.

In the United States, there are forces that are pumping money and chomping at the bit for radical change. Unless some real substantive action takes place, and does so quickly, there will be some difficult times ahead.

Described in detail here…

My Advice

I do not know the future. I only know about trends. From where I sit, I can easily see and forecast a confluence of events. I advise prudence and firstly, [1] suggest the reader to plan a long-term strategy to leave any progressive-socialist strongholds that they might (presently) unfortunately live within. This might require a job or career change. This might require a downsizing of possessions and housing. This will require a change in lifestyle. While initially discomforting, it will be advantageous in the longer term.

Since, any major governmental related crisis will probably involve the defanging of the population, and would advise steps be taken to minimize the governmental neutering of you and your family. To this end, I also suggest [2] during your relocation obtain weapons that the government cannot confiscate. As they will have no knowledge of them.

These weapons should be practical, and they should be something that you are trained and skilled in using. Hopefully they will never be needed. However, you should plan on using it against intruders at close range, firstly. In this regard, a 10 ga shotgun is preferable to a .303 scoped rifle. A 30 round SLS or AK-47 clone would be preferable to a match-grade .22 long rifle. You might also want to have a weapon that can use the same kind of ammo that state police, and the DHS use.

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have  been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make  an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to  say good-bye to his family? 

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?...

The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Learn from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. They permitted the government to take them away from their families, take away their freedom and destroy their lives because they relied on the news media to report on the actions of the government. Don’t make the same mistake.

The Event will NOT BE REPORTED.

You will more than likely be unprepared for the SHTF when it occurs. There will not be a Paul Revere galloping from house to house warning you. It will hit you and your family by surprise.

The “bullet won’t hit the bone”, you will be in wireties before you realize what is going on.

Too late.
You and your family will be in wireties before you know what is going on. Your will not be protected by your Rights. You will not have a chance to fight, shoot back, or run. The time to do that is NOW. When the police are there in your neighborhood it will be too late.

Thirdly [3], hide and secure these weapons. Tell no one where they are. Not your spouse, or your children. They (your family members) will tend to place confidence in friends and associates without the realization how deadly serious this issue can be. Only YOU, and you alone, will know the location. Again, tell NO ONE that you have any weapons hidden. It is a secret that you cannot share with anyone.

Militarized police
The government has militarized all sorts of federal agencies with military equipment, weapons and vehicles. They are to be used against Americans on American soil. Credit for the image from Peekpromotion.com.

For storage, I would suggest packing them in grease and then placing them in sturdy PPT packaging and burying them. Place ammo (and a reloading kit) nearby. The idea is to recover them after the bulk of the citizenry is disarmed.

Storage containers.
Here are some storage cases that can be found in Army and Navy stores, and sportsman’s supply outlets. However, you do not need to use these containers, if they are not available. You can purchase used 55 gallon drums, clean them out and use them. Just make sure that they are sealed tight. You can also make sure that they are waterproof by coating all the edges with mobile home roofing tar, or plain ordinary tar. What ever you do, you must bury these items in secret, and make sure that they cannot be discovered accidentally by a utility repairman, a housing inspector or a utility road crew. Be surreptitious.

The police, the federal police, and others are trained to search for hidden things. Expect them to ASSUME that you will have some weapons hidden. If you have a history of being a gun collector or one who has an internet history related to prepping or survival, they will start to look for your buried cache. I don’t know what to say about that. Though, a “sacrificial” decoy cache might be a consideration.

As a friendly suggestion, no one ever goes into electrical substations. Whether they are active or inactive. I had a friend who once had a problem with people climbing over his fence and messing with the collection buckets for his maple syrup. So, he started to put “Danger High Voltage” signs all over his property, and layed thick cable here and there. Since then, no one would dare tresspass.

Note that most people would tend to ignore a cement wall, or cesspool, or cemented over driveway.

Electrical substation.
If you want to hide something, then hide it in plain sight. Something like an unused electrical substation, or a cement pillar or foundation might be a good place to pace your cache.

Finally [4], tell no one about your plans, or why you relocate. No one will agree with you or believe you. Just move to a safer area and tell others that the reason was economic. Do not tell them about your worries. Tell others that you are moving for a better life. Most people will accept this as a valid excuse. In general, heed my advice, AVOID urban areas.

Now is the time to prepare. Not after things start to really go downhill. I pray. I hope. I wish that things will never get as bad as I warn against. However, history says otherwise.

Do not forget the Holocaust. The progresive liberal socialists, as much as they claim to hate Nazi's, actually want to implement their policies.

The Core Article

This article was inspired and based upon the writings of a Mr. Selco from Venezuela. They come from his article titled ” These are the signs the SHTF are real“. Yes, I know, Venezuela is not Hattiesburg, Mississippi or Framingham, Massachusetts. However, he is relating events that occurred recently when the progressive socialist government effectively disarmed the populace and started implementing their own brutal policies.

So while his experiences represent another nation, another society and another culture, the reader should pay attention. People are people. Nations follow basic rules of ascendancy and decline, and politicians are politicians no matter where their offices are.

Venezuela ruling government.
Maybe the cars are a little different. Maybe the armbands are different and the facial features are different, but those who rule governments are all the same. They might make promises, and they might even grant a few of the promises, but they intend to RULE.

Learn from his experiences. Here is his comments highlighted in color. Comments on it are my own.

How do you know if the SHTF is actually here? One of the cornerstones
 of survival is how to recognize that a situation has gone so bad that 
the S is truly going to hit the fan.
Basically, we are talking how to recognize that it is time to bug out or hunker down because it is going to be (really) bad.
I call it “survival mode” (no, it is not invented by me), and it  means that you at some point based on your own observations, feelings,  the situation around you, events, etc. going to are going to jump into  that mode where you gonna implement actions based on different  priorities than everyday life. It is personal but it may include:
  • no longer going to work and school
  • bugging out
  • bugging in
  • using violence on “first shoot, then ask” philosophy

In short, you are putting into action decisions that you prepared for a long time because (the) Shit did hit the fan.

How do you know when the real SHTF has arrived?

One of the members of the Prep Club FB group
 asked a very good question about this, and basically what she asked (in
 very shortened version and paraphrased) was: “How am I going to 
recognize that it is time to leave my job because the whole situation is
 going to s**t?”
The easiest (and pretty lame and lazy) answer is that you need to 
leave your job as soon as you see something bad is happening around you,
 and go home, bug in, bug out or whatever your plan is.
Police gathering downtown.
How do you know that things are spiraling out of control? How do you know that the SHTF and that things will start to get increasingly dangerous for you and your family. At what point in time do you realize that going to work might become too hazardous?
But it is lame because something bad is happening all the time around
 us – people being robbed or killed, folks losing jobs, cars being 
stolen, food poisoning, protests, political scandals – not to mention 
terrorist attacks happening more often and the migration crisis..
But you still need your job to pay bills. Your kids need to go to  school. Violence and bad things are always around us, but that does not  mean you’ll have to quit your job and bug out. If you do that, you are  achieving nothing.
Shot and dying.
When one group of people identify another group, and target them with hate, and violence, it only escalates. It gets worse. Eventually there is whole-scale blood shed. Do not be under the illusion that it will never happen in America. There are enormous groups of people just chomping at the bit to attack conservatives and traditionalists. All in the name of a progressive utopia.
So we are actually talking here how to recognize the “big event”, a real SHTF event, when you need to jump into that survival mode and stop  worrying too much about your regular day-to-day life.
The real fun here is that there is no universal answer. There is no specific point at which you will recognize it, but definitely, there are some things to pay attention to.

So firstly, we must remember the story of the two frogs. because that is exactly where most Americans are today. They have been cooking for decades in water while the congresscritters in Washington D.C. has been turning up the heat.

They have even issued laws, rules of engagement and behaviors to look for that criminalize YOU (the reader). The DHS is not your friend, and these rules are written against YOU for a reason.

DHS notice.
Yes, you are classified as a Right-wing extremist by the DHS. You are presumed guilty and a threat instead of an innocent citizen deserving of Rights and Habius Corpus.

Remember the two frogs.

I often refer to this story. It is a great story because it illustrates exactly what is going on in the United States today.

A well-known story is about the two frogs. One is thrown directly into a  pot of boiling water, and of course, the frog immediately jumps out of  the bowl and runs away.
The other frog is being thrown into a pot of cold water and then  water is gradually heated to point of boiling ,and at the end, this frog died.
The patriot.
In the British colonies, an early version of the DHS (the Department of Homeland Security) seizes a citizen under the suspension of Habeas Corpus during a “no-knock” raid. We need to look at our history using modern terminology and situations to truly appreciate our past.
When the water is gradually heated to the boiling point, the frog does not realize it is gonna die.
Most of us are frogs in a big bowl of water that is gradually heated  to the boiling point and let me tell you, that water is getting pretty  warm. You really need to be the well-prepared and smart frog to realize that the warm (and maybe pleasant) water is going to be deadly boiling  in a very short time.

When the police come to your door, often in the middle of the night, they will seize you. They will cart you and your family away. Trying to explain the Bill of Rights to them will not matter. Trying to explain that you did nothing wrong will not matter. Trying to explain that you have Rights (both State and Federal) and they you want to talk to an attorney WILL NOT MATTER.

When the “Big Event”, the SHTF starts to happen, the world that you thought existed would be long gone.

Demaning Rights
German woman demanding her “Rights” when the German Federal Police come to take her and her family to a “resettlement farm” for their “safety” and “protection”. We don’t know what ever happened to her. We do know that she was taken to what was later called “concentration camps” where many people died. I guess she didn’t explain her “Rights” clear enough to the armed police officer that came to gather her and her family “for their safety”.

Get out while the “water is still pleasant”

2016 Election Results by County
2016 Election Results by County. I would suggest moving to a predominantly red county, and the greater the number of other red counties between you and a blue county the better. Nebraska and Oklahoma as well as rural Missouri would be desirable locations if you were to follow this advice.
I believe the term is “strategic relocation”, or in  other words, it is moving to an area where the situation going to be better if SHTF. It is not bugging out when SHTF. It takes very carefully planning.  You are looking far or new place to live, a job, a good environment for  kids, natural resources, and a good home, etc., today while times are  still (more or less) normal.
It is quite specific for each person based on the region where you 
live, job opportunities, family circumstances and a lot of other things,
 but in essence, a few things that I would look for are:
  • smaller communities
  • places where you already have some network (family, friends…)
  • availability of resources ( land, rivers, woods, hunt…)
  • reasonably far away from big infrastructure
  • laws that allow you freedom (or absence of restrictions) like farming, weapon carry, homeschooling etc.
Keep in mind that again it is not bugging out, it is living in  circumstances where you gonna have a much better starting point when  SHTF. You still have to work for a living, and the kids need school etc.
Know your history.
Remember the woman arguing with the Nazi policeman in the picture earlier? Well, here is the place of safety that she was promised. An all female concentration camp where the women were abused, used, and experimented upon prior to execution. Listen to me; once you turn your back and put your hands behind your back for the handcuffs, it will BE TOO LATE.

Signs that the SHTF has actually arrived

 Collapse is already here 
Authored by Chris Martenson via PeakProsperity.com,
It’s a process, not an event…

Many people are expecting some degree of approaching collapse — be it economic, environmental and/or societal — thinking that they’ll recognize the danger signs in time.

As if it will be completely obvious, like a Hollywood blockbuster. Complete with clear warnings from scientists, politicians and the media.  And everyone can then get busy either panicking or becoming the plucky heroes.

That’s not how collapse works.
Collapse is a process, not an event.
And it’s already underway, all around us.
Collapse is already here.

As I have already mentioned, I would argue that one of the signs that The Event of the SHTF has started is government mandated firearm collection. Also remember, that IT WILL NOT BE REPORTED UPON.

The first thing to look for is closing or shuttering up of arms dealers or gun stores. Look for ammo drying up. Look for the passage of laws that make owning a gun or a gun magazine illegal. Look for pronouncements that suggest police door to door searches are necessary. Look for mainstream media making heroes out of people who turn in guns, report on people who own guns, or something very similar.

Disarmed Indians.
Know your history. Once you disarm a group of people you can rewrite laws, treaties and Rights. You can do what ever you want with them. You can demonize them, and treat them terribly. First you MUST defang them. Else they will fight back.

The author continues using his experiences as a guide…

Since most of can not afford “strategic relocation's” we are forced to  stay and hope to see on time that S gonna hit the fan, and hopefully  jump on time into that survival mode and act accordingly.
I am in the same position.
I am not talking here about obvious signs that something bad has  happened, because if you hear a huge explosion and there is no signal on  TV suddenly, no internet or electricity, you do not have to be a prepper  to realize something bad has happened, and you are already in the  middle of it.
Here are some of the signs that the SHTF has actually arrived.

Now the author goes into three things to look for. I only listed one major item. To me, once there is some kind of police-collection of firearms door-to-door, you are in the midst of The Event, or SHTF. He names three things to look forward to…

  • Freedoms disappear.
  • Hate and Violence increases in frequency.
  • Access to news becomes harder.

[1] Freedoms and Rights are disappearing.

Again, this experienced individual is saying the same thing that I am trying to say. Only he is doing it much better than I ever could. His first point is that while there has been a gradual erosion of freedom and Rights, there will be an acceleration of their loss. This will either be overt (such as a government pronouncement) or covert (such as you suddenly need certain types of ID to do things that used to be free.).

You usually feel like your rights and freedoms are something written in stone, and you may be right. But in terms of signs of a coming huge SHTF, keep in mind that when  your freedoms and rights that are really important are taken away from you, the S is going to hit the fan soon.

Which is my point about the first and second amendments to the Constitution. The attempts at their suppression will eventually hit a threshold level that will indicate the start of The Event. So far, the progressive left is taking bits and taking nips at them. Eventually their suppression or distortion will be such that it becomes obvious that they no longer exist. Sort of like what happened with the fourth Amendment – the “personal privacy amendment“.

And again probably it is going to happen gradually enough that the  majority of folks will not go out on the street to fight for those rights, and also, it may happen in a way that the majority of people  will welcome it, under some new laws that “save lives” or “keep them  safe” or similar.
But the result is going to be same. Your rights and freedoms are 
gonna be taken because you are gonna be easier to manipulate then.

As he stated, your rights will be removed because it will be easier to control and manipulate you. The greatest obstacle to progressive socialist rule is the second amendment. Thus, it will… IT WILL be taken prior to The Event.

[2] Polarization, hate, and violence are on the rise.

Up until Barrack Obama came to power with his progressive liberal socialist agenda, who ever heard about the SJW troops, the BLM, and the Antifa movement? I like to think that they have already met their maximum impact and influence and are now on the wane, but history argues differently. Thus, I must agree with the author, the worse is yet to come.

Expect more angering news, expect more troublesome actions and worrisome activities.

I have mentioned all of that before,  more then once, but prior to SHTF it is going to be worse when it comes  to hate because again, a lot of stuff you cannot see clearly when you  are in a state of hate or fear.
Hillary Clinton and the BLM movement.
Progressive liberals will utilize the Black Lives Matter movement, the Social Justice Warrior movement, and the Antifa movement to achieve their objectives.
A lot of things can be moving in the background while you are coping with disorder, hate, and violence.
Antifa 1
Antifa is yet another new domestic terrorist group motivated in part by Islam and the liberal agenda to destroy America and replace it with a socialist utopia. First they must destroy all tradition, and from the ashes create a world wither the top 1% rule over the rest of humanity with benevolence.

[3] Your access to information will be limited.

Pay attention to you ability to get news. Can you get news on Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc. I don’t know about youse guys, but the free flow of information is becoming narrower on the internet.

Your free access to independent information will be “shrunk”. 

Independent media will be harder and harder to find, or you will be fooled and you will think that actually, you have access to free information while in reality, it is junk, propaganda. 

The shutting down of free media and people who hold information will disappear. These are some of the last signs, and again, most people will welcome it.

Independent media will be almost “demonized”.

Could it Happen Here?

(This section is based off from a contribution from policestateusa.com.) 

One of the big arguments against gun confiscation in the United States is that it is an obvious and direct violation of the second amendment to the Bill of Rights. The argument is that it would NEVER happen in the United States because we are protected by the Bill of Rights. This argument is historically wrong.

It has already happened in the United States numerous times..

In 1775, during a time of palpable civil unrest among the colonies, the Massachusetts governor ordered soldiers to confiscate firearms from civilians in the interest of thwarting a rebellion.

In 1861, after rejecting the power of states to peacefully secede from the Union, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Confiscation Act, thus authorizing federal troops to confiscate firearms from civilians in preparation for military reconquest of the South.

In 1890, during the height of the American Indian “relocation” effort, U.S. troops disarmed the Lakota people en masse “for their own safety and protection” as they were corralled into their new home.  Most of the tribe was massacred when a deaf Lakota man refused to surrender his rifle to the federal soldiers.

In 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt used a foreign attack on an American territory to justify the mass confiscation of guns and other property from thousands of people deemed “enemy aliens” all over the United States.  After the confiscation, these disarmed individuals were rounded up and placed in concentration camps.

Watch the behavior of people in the know.

Now, here is where the really good stuff resides. Listen to his story…

I will give you some examples. 

I had a friend who worked for the secret police before the war. He ended up in the sieged city together with me.

He did not have a clue that things were gonna get so bad, even with his position and his access to the information.  He simply was fed bulls**t by people that he trusted.

On the other hand, I had a friend who, prior to the war was a smuggler of different kind of things from Italy, such as marijuana, electronics, and whatever was popular at that time.

He knew something bad was gonna happen, and he bugged out in time to Italy.

In his “job” he had connections with people who “pushed” things for other people who were pretty powerful criminals.  Based on moving on those “goods” and information, he simply concluded something bad was going to happen.

The point here is to keep your ear to the ground and see how things and events are moving around you.

Most probably you are not going to see things coming on TV on mainstream media, but if you have a buddy in the police force who will let you know that a lot of equipment is being delivered to them or a friend in some not “legit” places who  can give you good information, you can conclude a lot.

There is no specific advice here, but a network of friends with information from the right places is worth much more than a TV network.

Like I have been saying all along. Do not expect to be informed by the news media, or the internet. Things are planned months or even years in advance. When it happens, you will be the last person to find out.

You may miss the signs. I did.

I have seen all the signs above, and I failed to run. 

I ended up right in the middle of SHTF.

It is not only important to see and recognize signs. It is important to believe that it can actually happen. Because after I saw all the signs, I just said to myself, “Oh, it cannot happen here. Somebody somehow is gonna solve everything.”

It is very hard to trust in something that you did not experience before. Only now do I believe that a lot of horrible things are possible.

A big “Thank You” for Mr. Selco

This article was inspired and based upon the writings of a Mr. Selco from Venezuela. They come from his article titled ” These are the signs the SHTF are real“.

I urge all readers to go visit his website as there are other articles from his unique perspective and experience.

My Opinion

Since there were no serious negative ramifications to the massive full-scale vote fraud in the 2018 mid-term elections, we can expect that the progressive socialists will use this technique to turn entire states “blue”. While Donald Trump is indeed very popular, this could have a disastrous effect, and could swing both houses, and even the Presidency towards radical socialism.

Supreme Court Justice Ginsberg will hold out until a democrat President takes the reigns of power, and then assist in a full onslaught of pent-up socialist changes from their bucket list. First on that agenda will be the wide scale disarming of the American populace. Followed shortly with isolation and termination of their enemies.

The time scale for this is 2020. The four year time period of 2020 to 2024 will be a very contentious one. As it is likely to be a motivated radical democrat in control of the White House.

Conclusion & Take Aways

The radicals took control of the House today. Far left anti-Trumpers  and open Socialists are now in charge of the US House of  Representatives. Michigan Democrat Rashida Tlaib, an open Israel-hater, was sworn in on a Koran today. And after her swearing in she immediately called on President Trump’s impeachment — the “mother f*cker”!! The far left crowd LOVED IT and Cheered with delight!

I believe that the United States is long overdue for a reset. The government has become far too large, far too corrupt and is running amok. People from all over the country can see this. Their solutions are, however, diametrically opposed. As such, my points are…

  • A reset event is due to occur.
  • This event is already starting as of 2019.
  • I have no idea how serious this event will be, as it will depend on many variables and will vary from one family to another. It could be anything from total war and devastation to a minor increase in the cost of a cup of coffee. There are far too many variables at play.
  • I would advise caution.
  • The event or elements of it will be well under-weigh before being televised to any extent.
  • I would advise moving to a region that might escape and avoid major disruptions.

If you are unable to leave, I would then suggest the following prudent measures be considered…

  • I suggest that a firearm be procured, kept hidden, and be trained to use it properly.
  • I suggest stockpiling some antibiotics, if need be you can make your own. Here, Here, and Here. Alternatively you can google search “aquarium antibiotics” and buy fish-Pen (250mg) or Fish-Pen Forte (500mg) online. 100 tablets go for about 39.99 at the lower dose and 49.99 for the higher dose. Buy as much as you can afford, there is no prescription necessary.  You can also buy all sorts of antibiotics in bulk from Alibaba HERE.

Plan for regional discomfort increasing in stages from 2019 through 2025. Depending on the geographical regions, the severity of the change will vary. The types of changes and the personal influences will be divorced from what is presented on mainstram media and television.

This continued event eventually changes sometime into 2030. With a “new” normal manifesting.

Know your history. Townhouses.
Townhouses in Bosnia. We cannot predict what will happen, or how it will play out. All that we can say is that the current status quo in the United States is not sustainable. There will be change. For Conservatives and traditionalists, they will need to fight for their very lives, as the Progressive Liberal Socialists want them exterminated.

Russian Official on 12JAN19

“I think that America is actually engulfed by its second civil war now,” Rogozin told the Rossiya-24 TV channel, as translated by the state-run Tass Russian News Agency. Reported by Newsweek.

Former Federal Prosecutor: “We Are In A Civil War… I Buy Guns”

Former federal prosecutor Joe diGenova says civil discourse is over in America, and recommends voting and buying guns because “we are in a civil war.” 

Speaking with Laura Ingraham on her podcast, diGenova noted that the “all liberal” media has given a pass to both Virginia Governor Ralph Northam (D) and VA Attorney General Mark Herring for appearing in blackface, while similarly glossing over Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax’s credible sexual assault allegation. 

“There’s two standards of justice, one for Democrats one for Republicans. The press is all Democrat, all liberal, all progressive, all left – they hate Republicans, they hate Trump. So the suggestion that there’s ever going to be civil discourse in this country for the foreseeable future in this country is over. It’s not going to be. It’s going to be total war. And as I say to my friends, I do two things – I vote and I buy guns.”

Other Articles

The partial government shutdown is about more than a shutdown. It’s  civil war. There are not guns or violence, at least not yet. The U.S.  military has not turned against any portion of the citizens. Nobody has  openly called for secession yet, at least to the point where it can  credibly happen. Not just yet. Yet all these things are just beneath the  surface. Any one of these things could happen, almost at any time,  although — for perfectly understandable reasons — most of us prefer not  yet to know it. 
Donald Trump came along in the midst of this growing crisis. He didn’t start the fire, nor did his supporters. He merely represents the frustration and outrage of the half or so of the population who has simply had enough. The people who dominate all those red counties on the political map, and who also comprise a sturdy but usually silent minority (bigger than you think) in those blue map locations.

A civil war, in psychological terms, happens when two sides reach a point of irreconcilable differences. The government shutdown and the border wall, while very important issues, are not the only issues dividing this country. The country is divided on even bigger things, such as whether we should move toward higher taxes and socialism or lower taxes and capitalism; more regulation or less regulation; more control for the Democratic-Republican establishment in D.C., or less. Should we use all our military force against militant Islam, or bow down and blame ourselves, as Obama did? Should we permit other countries — China, European countries — the advantages of capitalism while imposing on ourselves the disadvantages of socialism? Or should we fight back, as President Trump has done?

The root issue of all political conflict, including our own, boils down to one factor: The individual versus the state. Does the individual have the right to make up one’s own mind about one’s life, or should government be involved in making many or most decisions for us? Whether the issue is gay marriage, abortion, taxes, capitalism/socialism, whether or when to utilize military force, what the budget should be, or anything else, that’s what it all boils down to. Even the border wall issue applies here. To border wall advocates, it’s an issue of whether the federal government should set up boundaries between our (hopefully) free country and individuals or nations who are not free, who may be hostile and threatening, and should in some way be screened before coming into our (hopefully) free country. This didn’t used to be controversial. But the Democrats have moved so far left — no border wall, no borders at all — that the divide seems new, and it is new for that reason.

Our country today reminds me so, so much of a marriage at the end of its time. I am sorry to say it, but it’s true. Sometimes a marriage therapist tells a couple, “It just seems like so much work. You’re fundamentally divided on so many matters. Why don’t you just divide up your property and go your separate ways? Set yourselves free?” There are times when it’s rational to conclude this, which is why divorce and breakups are often rational.

The smart couples do break up and rationally divide up their property — even time with their children — and move on, often to better and calmer lives. Will that happen in America? Not a chance, based on the way it looks right now.

Americans no longer seem to agree on the fundamentals. The Second Amendment is now up for grabs. For years, Democrats have claimed to support the Second Amendment in theory, but now they are prepared to pass legislation in effect outlawing guns (or ammunition, which is the same thing). It turns out when they said, for all those years, that “the Second Amendment applies to the military, not to individuals, even peaceful ones,” they really meant it. This alone is an unsustainable and unresolvable difference. Am I wrong? Prove me wrong. I’d love to be wrong. I see no compromise on this point.

And now the First Amendment could be at risk too. Increasingly, it seems that leftists, self-described progressives and Democrats really mean it when they say, “Hate speech isn’t protected by the First Amendment.” Seriously? What is hate speech? I have been called a promoter of hate speech for supporting President Trump on many matters and opposing Democrats. Is that what we’ve come to? Is hate speech now speech I don’t like? And regardless of how one defines “hate speech”, how on earth do you reconcile the First Amendment with anyone’s speech — however it’s characterized — being subject to any kind of government regulation or chilling whatsoever?

When two or more parties disagree on matters of principle, you’re at a point of civil breakdown. The First and Second Amendments are at the top of our Bill of Rights for a reason. When the two major political parties disagree on these two most precious components of individual liberty — the right to defend your body and to speak your mind — then civility is over. What a literal civil war would look like, in the twenty-first century in the USA, I frankly have no idea. Maybe we’re already in it. The government shutdown is a metaphor for the impossible, irreconcilable differences between two schools of thought. I keep thinking: This is what civil war looks like. Each side wants the other to humble him- or herself. But it’s not going to happen. Never, ever with the Democrats, who have never once caved on anything, ever. And no longer with the dissenters or so-called “deplorables”, at least if President Trump is any indication.

I don’t know the answer or solution. I only know one thing: The cause of the breakdown, whenever it happens, always resides in the most important issue in any political or social matter: The individual versus the state. If there is any solution to find, it will be there.
In the 1980’s, for example, the newspapers featured stories about the so-called homeless crisis on a weekly basis. That’s when we went from calling them bums to pretending their only problem was a lack of shelter. Once Clinton assumed power, the homeless stories disappeared. It was a running joke for a long time, because it was so obvious, but also because it was so predictable. Everyone got the joke, except Lefty.

As many have observed, the mask began to drop during the Clinton years when so many media members quit their jobs and went to work in the administration. It’s hard to maintain the illusion of independence when there is a revolving door between the media and left-wing political operations. That’s when CNN became known as the Clinton News Network, because they were so hilariously in the tank for them. Some tried to maintain the ruse, but any pretense of objectivity ended in the 1990’s.

Again, there was still a sense that it was just bias and that it was predictable and therefore you could adjust for it. Today, that does not appear to be the case. The mainstream media has become advocates, but not necessarily advocates for the Progressive base of the Democratic coalition. They seem to be serving the agendas, financed by private parties operating off-stage. For example, sites like the Huffington Post and Daily Beast are about moral enforcement than news and current events.

The recent harassment of Alex McNabb by Antifa member Christopher Mathias is a great example of the phenomenon. The Huffington Post provides him with a cover identity as a reporter, but in reality someone else is paying his way. His job is as a witch hunter, looking for anyone in violation of the blasphemy laws. This is a strange new phenomenon that does not have a corollary in the past. Even Woodward and Bernstein were legitimate reporters, even if Woodward had deep connections to the intelligence community.

There’s an argument that this sort of religious advocacy is the natural result of the narrative journalism that evolved in the 1960’s and 1970’s. If you are going to report stories, the point is to inform. If you are going to spin tales, then the first goal is to entertain and there is nothing quite as a gripping as a morality tale. These doxxing stories are just campfire stories for the hard thumping loons of the far Left. The point of them is to tell the reader that they must be vigilant as heretics are everywhere.
The postwar era saw the creation of international institutions ranging from NATO to the United Nations to the World Bank, along with a proliferation of think tanks and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to accompany them. It saw the vast expansion of higher education in the United States, and the transformation of academic degrees into something close to must-haves for the upper-middle class. It saw a great expansion of power on the part of media organizations, and on the part of government bureaucrats and lobbyists, both of whose numbers increased enormously.

But after the turn of the millennium, other Americans, much like the workers and peasants in the old Soviet Union, started to notice that while the New Class was doing quite well (America’s richest counties now surround Washington, D.C.), things weren’t going so well for them. And what made it more upsetting was that — while the Soviet Union’s apparatchiks at least pretended to like the workers and peasants — members of America’s ruling class seemed to view ordinary Americans with something like contempt, using terms such as “bitter clingers,” “deplorables” and flyover people.

Class wars in America disguised as culture wars

Suddenly, to a lot of voters, those postwar institutional arrangements stopped looking so good. But, of course, the beneficiaries showed no sign of giving them up. This has led to a lot of political discord, and a lot of culture war, since in America class warfare is usually disguised as cultural warfare. But underneath the surface, talk is a battle between the New Class and what used to be the middle class.

Jack Minzey on Civil War

Civil War
How do civil wars happen?

Two or more sides disagree on who runs the country. And they can’t settle the question through elections because they don’t even agree that elections are how you decide who’s in charge. That’s the basic issue here. Who decides who runs the country? When you hate each other but accept the election results, you have a country. When you stop accepting election results, you have a countdown to a civil war.

The Mueller investigation is about removing President Trump from office and overturning the results of an election. We all know that. But it’s not the first time they’ve done this. The first time a Republican president was elected this century, they said he didn’t really win. The Supreme Court gave him the election.

There’s a pattern here.


What do sure odds of the Democrats rejecting the next Republican president really mean? It means they don’t accept the results of any election that they don’t win. It means they don’t believe that transfers of power in this country are determined by elections.

That’s a civil war.

There’s no shooting. At least not unless you count the attempt to kill a bunch of Republicans at a charity baseball game practice. But the Democrats have rejected our system of government.
This isn’t dissent. It’s not disagreement. You can hate the other party. You can think they’re the worst thing that ever happened to the country. But then you work harder to win the next election. When you consistently reject the results of elections that you don’t win, what you want is a dictatorship.

Your very own dictatorship.

The only legitimate exercise of power in this country, according to Democrats, is its own. Whenever Republicans exercise power, it’s inherently illegitimate. The Democrats lost Congress. They lost the White House. So what did they do? They began trying to run the country through Federal judges and bureaucrats. Every time that a Federal judge issues an order saying that the President of the United States can’t scratch his own back without his say so, that’s the civil war.

Our system of government is based on the constitution, but that’s not the system that runs this country. The Democrat’s system is that any part of government that it runs gets total and unlimited power over the country. If the Democrats are in the White House, then the president can do anything And I mean anything. He can have his own amnesty for illegal aliens. He can fine you for not having health insurance. His power is unlimited. He’s a dictator.

But when Republicans get into the White House, suddenly the President can’t do anything. He isn’t even allowed to undo the illegal alien amnesty that his predecessor illegally invented. A Democrat in the White House has ‘discretion’ to completely decide every aspect of immigration policy. A Republican doesn’t even have the ‘discretion’ to reverse him. That’s how the game is played That’s how our country is run. Sad but true, although the left hasn’t yet won that particular fight.

When a Democrat is in the White House, states aren’t even allowed to enforce immigration law. But when a Republican is in the White House, states can create their own immigration laws. Under Obama, a state wasn’t allowed to go to the bathroom without asking permission. But under Trump, Jerry Brown can go around saying that California is an independent republic and sign treaties with other countries.

The Constitution has something to say about that. Whether it’s Federal or State, Executive, Legislative or Judiciary, the left moves power around to run the country. If it controls an institution, then that institution is suddenly the supreme power in the land. This is what I call a moving dictatorship.

Donald Trump has caused the Shadow Government to come out of hiding: Professional government is a guild. Like medieval guilds. You can’t serve in if you’re not a member. If you haven’t been indoctrinated into its arcane rituals. If you aren’t in the club. And Trump isn’t in the club. He brought in a bunch of people who aren’t in the club with him.

Now we’re seeing what the pros do when amateurs try to walk in on them. They spy on them, they investigate them and they send them to jail. They use the tools of power to bring them down.

That’s not a free country.

It’s not a free country when FBI agents who support Hillary take out an ‘insurance policy’ against Trump winning the election. It’s not a free country when Obama officials engage in massive unmasking of the opposition. It’s not a free country when the media responds to the other guy winning by trying to ban the conservative media that supported him from social media. It’s not a free country when all of the above collude together to overturn an election because the guy who wasn’t supposed to win did.

Have no doubt, we’re in a civil war between conservative volunteer government and a leftist Democrat professional government.

Posted on Free Republic on 3JAN19

This was posted on Free Republic on 3JAN19 HERE. Aside from the snarky trolls and generally disparaging remarks, those that actually did read the article have a different opinion than what is stated herein. None of which seems to believe that “The Event” will manifest.

The overall opinion is that it will continue to be “business as usual”. If anything “bad” were to occur, the American population would adjust to it, and not give it a moment’s thought. The general consensus is that nothing serious will occur. There won’t be any major economic downturns, socialist purging, and no fighting Bosnia-style. Americans will just adapt and succumb…

I think the writer is wrong about how the gun confiscation will happen.  It will be less violent than his view which seems to predate the AI  revolution. 

We will get China’s Social Credit scoring and eventually find that we cannot buy airplane tickets or maybe gasoline and other stuff becomes progressively more expensive, like food, because our scores are too low.

Then we are informed that the only way to raise our scores is to turn in our guns. Possession of guns will be a big hit on the SC scores.

Here is a reasoned argument in alignment with the article, however it does not anticipate anything outright serious. The impression that I get, for this writer is that the battles will be political in nature, and not visceral.

It is in the left’s best interest to convince the public that the wheels are coming off. Actually, it's in the best interest of all  establishment politicians to do so. 

In a very, very real way Trump's election, and the growth of alternative sources of information, have threatened the political class and those whose careers and stature are derived from it. They won't go quietly, and their responses aren't limited by ethics and morality - in the least.

We went from the first year of Trump's presidency, during which there was widespread optimism about the economy and the future, to now - with people lamenting about the collapse of America as we know it. This is orchestrated. No doubt. We can't give in to an impending sense of doom.

The reality is that all Trump has done to date, including the trade standoff with China, his efforts to end the ‘cheap labor express’, verbalizing that the tech industry has spawned monopolies that may have to be dealt with as antitrust issues, standing up to European governments that criticize us but take our money, AND, fighting the left on our own soil - including standing up strongly against people like Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, etc., all has to be done.

None of these things were likely to be easy, and none of them were likely to be painless. But, they had/have to be done.

- neverevergiveup

This next comment agrees that things are trending to be “interesting”, yet how serious they will become and what will happen will be up to the individuals involved to determine. I can agree with that.

I’ve noticed the last few years that every year is much more  “interesting” than the year before, but also that humans are like  cockroaches, and highly adaptable to their situation.

I saw it in 2007 when housing in my area, Seattle, collapsed. I remember saying, on seattlebubble.com, that real estate could drop as much as 20%. I was chastised for it because it was crazy talk and sounded apocalyptic. And it did, even to me.

Well, prices dropped as much as 50% in many areas and much more than 20% everywhere else. So, was it an apocalypse? Yes. But what was people’s reaction? “What a great buying opportunity".

They ignored that before the collapse, defaults on real estate loans happened, but were definitely not common. And now everyone knew at least one person, if not many or even themselves, that simply walked away from their home, or became squatters in a home someone walked away from. It just became the new normal and was no big deal.

It’s how we seem to operate.

And yes, 2019 will be a lot more “interesting” than previous years. How interesting remains to be seen.
