It's hard to find the starting point for this topic - I guess since I was a kid growing up in the cold war era, being taught by our government that in the case of imminent thermo-nuclear war between Russian and the United States, that I should hide under my desk with my head between my knees when hydrogen bombs start igniting, hitting all major military facilities from well known air force bases to wheat fields known to hide missiles in the grain silos of the Midwest. As I got older, I was fortunate to get a decent education and fly across the country for business, weekly. And on every flight, I was informed that in a case of emergency, I was to once again duck under the chair in front of me with my head between my knees. Just weeks ago, the long-dormant cold war era feelings came back as our Commander In Chief, President Obama almost started the third wold war due to his arrogance and incompetency with the situation in Syria. Now, we are yet the unwitting subjects in the constant struggle of the elitists who rule not just our country but all of "civilized humanity". The "Affordable Health Care Act", also known as Obamacare is the new probervial line in the sand. They control the media, through ownership, they control public schools because all non-private schools are under the watchful eye the federal Department of Education. They own the monetary system, deciding day-to-day whether your dollars still have value, the currency rates, the value of hard currency like silver and gold. They own the forests under the Department of Agriculture, and can tell us under what circumstances, and under what fees we can access our land. Now they own our doctors, our hospitals, our insurers, our entire health care industry - but gave themselves the ability to "opt out" of what is good enough for us, but not good enough for them. I'm not an old guy or a young guy, just somewhere in the middle with enough foresight to see that our country is at a major crossroads. We clearly can't keep raising the debt ceiling - we don't have the intellectual capital to compete on a global scale, and living off the fruits of the generation before us has limits - limits we are currently over-extending. We are a bus heading off the cliff, and instead of hitting the brakes, we're gunning it to full throttle. I don't want to be "Thelma and Louis" crashing into the ground. Guys and gals, with love, start stocking up now - start with the essentials, BBB, Beans bullets and band-aids - excuse the cliché. You HAVE to have water, you then need food, and you have to have the means to protect those things vital to your family. Maybe I'm full of crap, and just another tinfoil hat conspririst. But think about this - 18 months ago, anyone could buy bricks of .22 ammo for around $20. I've seen bricks go for over $160 locally. M855 green tip, 7.62 x 39 mm prices are at all-time highs. Food storage goods at walmart are selling out as fast as they get can get stocked. You guys are all hunters, so I'll end this rant with one closing thought. Every time I get close to an animal I'm hunting, I avoid looking at its eyes, because I believe the can actually "sense" the predator closing in on them. I feel like the prey in this case because I can sense the predator closing in.
