Good people do bad things when their family is starving. Everything will depend on food, water, shelter and heat in that order in the future. War is the big unknown at this point so I focus on what I can control.

You’re too nice. You don’t get it. Retirement money? The money is not going to have any value. There isn’t going to be any retirement for anyone. Societal collapse means Mad Max everyday, all day. From what you say, it looks like you have no intention of going after the bad guys when the balloon goes up. I guess it’s up to me again. It’s ok. I’m looking forward to it.
Yeah, “money”. Fiat currency needs to be spent as quickly as possible before it’s toilet paper…. but what to convert it to? and… You’ll still need to pay property taxes at least until your neighbors stop paying too… All these new IRS agents are about trying to keep you from using anything but their money…. and you need to use anything but their money.
The Branch Davidians were well armed. Do you think these guys will fight fair? This is not the Revolutionary war. Technology gives them the edge, plus, they’ll enjoy using your tax $$$ for any weather warfare they may choose to flood you, freeze you or drought you out.
The point I’m making is we don’t need any Rambo attitude. Underestimating your enemy is false bravado.
Ain’t talking Rambo. Rambo is a wussy. Most of the articles on this blog are talking about how nobody does anything against the bad guys. How “we” let the country down, etc. And when somebody remarks that if you plan on hiding in your bug out location, then you’re not going after the bad guys when the balloon goes up. And when the currency tanks that’s the proverbial balloon. It’s on. The government will lose control. It will overwhelm them. And that’s the time. I know most people here are over the hill. I get it. No killers here. I’m just trying to break through the myth that life will go on as usual. The standard of living is going to collapse. It won’t be pretty.
Citizen Joe, I’m proud to stand with you in this fight for freedom and against tyranny. Be assured of that.
someone once corrected me when I expressed the same thing, but in a way, it was an epiphany, technology didn’t beat Mr. Chuck in Viet Nam, it didn’t beat goat farmers in Afghanistan and American ain’t won a war since ww2 so all that technology ain’t always the game changer. As to Waco, they were stuck in Fort Apache, with nowhere to go.
Kal, I’m surprised you believed recent wars were meant to be won. I would reccomend “All wars are banker wars” by Michael Rivero and “War is a racked” by General Smedley Butler.
When stealing resources like oil , “wars” are meant to drag on. I believe we finally left Afghanistan because we were done with the poppy fields. It was replaced by Covid and the jab.
Good point about fort Apache, now is a good time to read “Duffers drift”!
mo.bil.it.y.

First the crash comes then right afterwards comes the collapse, this is how it’s been every time our government robs the American people, but this time around it won’t go the way they think it will go, even with there digital money scam. They are all going down first .
Force majeure is coming after the collapse and everything you own as an investment either it be SS, retirement income, investments will be worthless.
Food …. yes!. We have a garden, cattle, sheep, chickens, a pond with fish. Well prepped. That said, we have to protect all that. We moved to the Ozarks to make that a little easier to do (fewer people, those here more self-sufficient), however, there are still those who aren’t ready who will look to take what they need. Wife and I have to sleep sometime. We’ve taken steps and made plans (rifle range for practice, neighbors, alarms, etc.). You should, too.
Malachi, I am in the Ozarks too, north of VanBuren AR. I got out of Chicago in 73 and never regretted it! Like all of us with eyes and a brain we are improving gardens and infrastructure!
SP1, when you start on the road to inflation, unless you stop it with a recession very early, there is only one way out and that is a currency collapse! Inflation is nothing new, it has been around thousands of years and the end results are always the same! Keeping any wealth in the form if money during an inflationary period is going to loose value, if done long enough it becomes worthless!
In addition to very unwise government spending, we also have a breakdown in world trade, energy issues, demographics, social conflict and of course a war with Russia! This is not likely to end well without Devine intervention!
Spending money on anything to produce food, water and shelter is a very wise move, during times like this! Keep up the good work! TINVOWOOT!
don’t say this to loud you never know which troll is reading your post, to many trolls are hired by the communist regime to snoop on everyone and report back to the vermin in the fbi, cia, dhs, atf and all of the other communists in control.
if you are just now starting to get serious about prepping, you are probably too late. but better late than never.
when the balloon goes up, and the economy/government collapes, your world, and sphere of influence is going to get very small. you will be concentrating on holding what you got. what is happening in the next state, county, town will be of little concern, you will have your hands full with what is happening in your neighborhood.
Has anyone watched the old classic western, the wild bunch? The end of the movie is how we should be acting to get the Jan 6th political prisoners released.
Did Argentina disappear with its numerous 100 percent inflation rates and restructuring over the last 30 years? Well no, will we disappear in a flash I think not. One thing for sure is there is no political solution, the Republicans or any other politician will not save us.
The only reasonable way out is to write all the debt off in all western countries. The Davos crowd will do all they can to stop it but it is the only way forward. The people who are truly screwed are the bond holders and the central banks.
Europe could easily collapse into unrest by January. North America will be right behind it if this happens.
While I admire the hard core rural preppers the reality is unless your set up like the people in Rawles fiction books you only buy yourself extra time in a world gone mad in a complete collapse. I’ve done what I can in suburbia, stocking food, water, defense, communication and medical. I even upgraded my medical training and am now a credentialed AEMT in NC and though retired took a PRN job 17 months ago with our local EMS to keep my skills current. What’s sad is out of my team and the hospital nursing staff if we are 20% pure blood it would be a high number.
It is inevitable that we are in for a rough ride. One thing you can do with your fiat is buy pre 65 silver coins to try and preserve some purchasing power. I personally think what will happen will be more like the Great Depression with added bonus of all the excess deaths from the jab. But the only one that knows for sure is the Lord.
During the great depression a majority of the population lived on farms or had relatives on farms, you still had a large majority producing food even if they had no job.
Today only a small minority have farms or gardens, when the majority have no jobs and the farmers don’t have water, fertilizer or fuel for the tractors, how can the nation be fed? What will likely be the result?
Getting pre 65 silver coins a great plan. When the dollar fails you will still be able to buy or barter! Buying gold or silver jewelry for the wife is a great way to store wealth and make brownie points! It is also unlikely for jewelry to be banned, unlike gold and silver!
USDollar is depreciating vs things we in the US need/want to live. But vis a vis other currencies like euro and yen, it is hitting 20 year highs. I see eur/usd going to ~0.9100. THAT is when I think worldwide SHTF.
