The Falling Away and the Pre-tribulation Rapture (Doctrine) Effects

Thusfar, my videos have exposited upon the etiology, or the setting, or prerequisites which set up our belief systems for further deceptions, and, as an initial ‘falling away’ of God’s people. From the establishment of the Protestant movement to the founding of the USA as a two-horned lamb, based upon the principles of religious and civil freedoms dominated by neither crowns of a Pope (state-mandated religion and laws) nor by an authoritarian, or unelected, king (rule by authoritarian fiat). Although the emphasis is and was related to America, the same principles may be [loosely] applied to much of the rest of the ‘civilized’, Western world. However, with the exception of the USA, most, if not all of the world has, or still is, influenced by subjugation, monarchical rule, or outright dictatorship—making America unique among nations, at least, up until the present. The ‘second Beast’ who will promote the first Beast, and set up his image, and enforce the worship of the first beast and its image will be a two-horned lamb (no crowns) who begins to speak as a dragon; this is fairly predictive of the evolution of our country and its governing bodies, across the recent past. What started as a God-fearing, morality-driven, protestant country [and government] has grown over time to be a God-hating, immoral, and now even persecuting, atheistic abomination. Furthermore, all the God-given rights and liberties we valued and supported in the past have been stripped away. Right now, they claim them all as privileges given permission. This is the real evolution we should be watching now.

The advent and rise of science, and scientific thought and methods, and the various ungodly beliefs which are promulgated through it, have led to a rationalization by Man which removes both God, and faith, from consideration. For example, see my videos on falling away, and/or relating the so-called science of evolution. In this, Satan has been highly effective in his deceptions, snaring and entrapping the majority of people into his anti-God propaganda campaign. The erosion of the family, and sociocultural moralities and mores, also via propaganda and conditioning methods, of his minions and cohort of NGO organizations, think tanks, via constant media (which ‘they’ own & control) dissemination, has also lead to the decimation of morality, as well. Taking God out of the public mind has led to such abominations as the feminist movement, the advent of the welfare state and enslavements, and the murder of the unborn, through state-supported abortion. 

The former movements, like UN Agenda 21, excel at trapping women and minorities into their belief systems and make them depend upon same—replacing God, and men, and family [ see my videos and links].  The promotion and acceptance, especially by the state, for birth control and abortions nets a  result that we now reside in a country, or a population of trained and controlled atheists, satanists, new-agers, and puke-warm ‘Christians’ who sacrifice their own children to Satan. Over 53 million condemnations have resulted from that permissive and immoral law alone. Think about it. Will God accept the murders into his kingdom? Certainly not the unrepentant, nor those who feel it a ‘right’ of theirs, and, technically, that they had not done ‘wrong’ or had sinned. This obvious condemnation, or even stating it as such is now thought to be like ‘hate speech’—it is soon to be outlawed, as street preaching is now being condemned. Wait until the ecumenicalist ‘unity’ , or one-world religion starts in on the evangelicals and the Christians—God’s true Church—we will be labeled as haters and they will persecute us, vehemently.

God’s church has already experienced a falling away, in my opinion, as I have suggested in other videos (see links/my YouTube page). However, what I have exposited upon in past may in fact not be the GREAT falling away; it may be merely a preamble, or the setting stages of an even greater and more visible apostasy.

This is what I will be delving into more thoroughly, in the present video. Specifically, the effects of the doctrine of devils and of the false prophets, the televangelists, who continue to deceive and lead astray the peoples of the Church. (*The* Church, not any denomination, etc). In particular, I am concerned with the false doctrine of the so-called ‘pre-trib’ rapture (PTR). 

The PTR is especially harmful, or potentially so, not only because it is a deception, but also because it may lead to an even GREATer falling away, after the tribulation[s] begins. The destructive effect is at least four-fold: 

1) Those adhering to the belief will have the prideful expectation that they are ‘chosen’, or perhaps elite or special, and therefore, will come to no harm; they do not fear the Day of the Lord, because they are self-assured. Some may believe that they are ‘the first’—the ‘chosen’, but they may, in truth, be ‘the last’. This prideful righteousness is sinful, and foolish, and will likely condemn many. There seem to be many different denominations who claim to be the only ones, or the ‘last remnant’. “…two men say they’re Jesus—one of them must be wrong”. This elitism and prideful self-delusionment will capture many proponents into cultish denominations or faddish movements, and those will likely be temples of deception and destruction. Be warned and beware such elitism or claims of being the only chosen peoples…This will result in fewer receiving or regaining salvation, and/or a greater falling away.

2) Those adhering to the belief will be unprepared for the upcoming trials and persecutions. Being unprepared means that they will ignore the calls of the Awakened, or the present Awakening (which I exhort), many of whom have been led by the spirit to both repent, and to prepare. This will hasten their own demise. Specifically, there has been a growing awareness of, and preparation for, an end-time collapse of social, political, and/or financial stability in the world. This of course is envisioned to be followed by the institution of the one-world governmental system, including the one-world religious and financial systems. Those who feel it ‘in their gut’, or by the spirit, have begun to prepare for the nebulous event[s] by storing food, water, medicine, weapons, and even gold or silver (etc.), with which to survive or extend their capacity to resist the upcoming crises. It is my opinion that their urges or foreknowledge, or fears may be the result of a discernment or communications of God’s warnings, and may become the basis for a source of respite and comfort for those who do prepare. It may also contribute to a greater number of converts during the tribulations, for those who come in contact with these ‘preppers’, who can and will share aid and comfort with them. As a Christian, we are indeed mandated to feed the hungry, and clothe the naked (etc.). This is a mandated function which often goes unfulfilled in our current ‘churches’. It will take on a great importance in the trying times to come. I urge all of you to become acquainted with this ‘prepping’ idea, and begin stockpiling—obedient church organizations, too. More on this later, hopefully.

3) Believing themselves shielded from tribulations, they have become, and will become, even more disconnected from the events leading up to the tribulations—these include participation in the election (and appointments therefrom) of the same officials which will initiate and carry out those persecutions. They will likely care far less that the world is ‘going to Hell in a hand-basket’, if they perceive no real threat or harm will come to them; they will escape all harm. The disturbing rise of paramilitary police and ‘security’ forces in the USA, and the huge surveillance-state system does not seem to upset them; little do they realize that that force will soon be turned upon them, not upon the non-existent ‘terrorists’ as they have been duped into believing, and by reasoning have given up their liberties for ‘security’. They don’t seem to understand that being a ‘good’ or upstanding citizen is EXACTLY the criterion for persecutions. Woe be it to them; they are in for a real shock. Those who are awake and aware in these end times may be able to delay the onset, or decrease the severity, or mayhap even prevent [at least some of] the tyranny altogether, if they are actively seeking to replace potential tyrants with good, God-fearing leaders. One may come to understand that there is a ‘safe zone’ or region of the USA which will preserve and protect God’s people during those terrible times; this is suggested by several passages (dunno— that I recall, though none specifically come to mind)

4) Many will be upset, and even angry, that they are being pursued, persecuted, and that they are being killed. The persecutions will likely evolve in severity over time, but will eventually end up as executions, presumably on a large scale, by beheading. This is specifically mentioned as a method used in the Bible. (cite…). They may even curse God for their persecutions, and many will lose what little faith they have/had, creating an even GREATER falling away. Understand that the whole world was deceived with the false prophets’ doctrines of devils. The number of these defections from faith will no doubt swell the numbers of those who will then join up with the other deceived, in worshipping the antichrist. Miracles and signs and wonders will ensnare many ignorant, or  lukewarm ‘Christians’ who do not have a grasp of the prophecies, or any in-depth knowledge of the Gospel, and the specifics of the revelations; those who were comfortable with their Sunday ‘weekend-warrior Christianity’, and those who ‘worship’ merely out of tradition, or sociocultural expectancies, or who attend for purposes of  social networking. 

It is hard to believe that anyone with even a basic understanding of the prophecies would succumb to accepting the usurper (antichrist) in place of Christ. It is clearly stated that all will see his coming in the clouds, as he comes as a Lion, and that the believers will be swept up from the four corners to join him while the wrath and punishments get started for the unworthy (the trumpets). I’m pretty sure that will not be the entrance of the antichrist, because he will be revealed, and claim himself as God, in the temple (abomination of desolation). Unfortunately, there will be multitudes of ignorant and deceived, who will be fooled. Undoubtedly, the antichrist will already have a great popularity and following, as a political figure. There has been a disturbing trend of blind following the current President, and cult-like chantings and attributions/depictions showing him crowned or his head sporting a halo. I’m not ready to declare him as a prime possibility just yet though; I will wait on more conclusive evidence. There are, though, millions who must be preparing his way with such attributions. It may in fact be true. [dunno]. 

At any rate, expect that there will be betrayals of the true Christians by this population of unworthy souls, and much love will be lost (cite-pic). This will result in further persecutions of the true Church. Apparently, such people do not understand, or are totally ignorant of world history, and the history of the Church. Throughout history, since before the time of Yeshua, or Jesus, the Christ, both Israelites and Christians have been persecuted, hunted, and executed simply for their beliefs, or for not bowing down to the dictates of false religions or theocratic dogmatics and their idols. Recall the Roman games, and the ‘feeding’ of Christians to the lions, or their being hacked to death by gladiators. Understand the fate of the Apostles themselves; nearly all were jailed, murdered, or even beheaded. Recall the persecution of true believers, and those espousing the Bible, and the counter-reformation of the RCC (Roman Catholic Church)—masses, even multiple millions were persecuted, tortured, and even burned at the stake by that so-called ‘Christian’ church/state. Even to this day, and especially in this day, many somehow fail to realize that Christians are dying right NOW—being bombed, maimed, crucified, and even beheaded, all throughout the Middle -East and Africa (in predominantly ‘Muslim’ nations now radicalized by ‘jihadists’). Specific mention of the many persecutions and of the saints and martyrs of God is referenced throughout Biblical texts. Did these saints and martyrs escape persecution—NO. Will you?—NO.

Do any of the readers or viewers feel that they have special protections, or immunity, that God’s own saints and martyrs didn’t possess? If so, what is the basis for such an idea? It must be misconstrued from some passages, which may have been presented out-of-context, or were ‘cherry-picked’ to falsify a deception. On the contrary, there are many specific passages that show that the end-time peoples will experience the tribulation[s]: This I will leave to a more thorough and detailed debunking of the noxious and deceptive teaching of the ‘pre-trib’ doctrine. I hope to be able to show, clearly, and as cogently and precise as can be shown, that the doctrine is false. I have already, now, explicated the dangers and downfalls inherent to this poison of the mind and soul. Do not be deceived. and, as always, LOOK it UP, and test all things…PLP, and may God bless the viewer. Amen.

INSANITY ALERT! Genetic Contamination of Our Food Supply--read-share-learn...

ALL

 (Please go to the link [below], whatever you do)

It's worse than we know. However, I am not surprised--and this is their intent--to despoil and pollute our entire food supply, and control/dominate both seeds AND our food supply, as leverage to further enslave all of us. 

Yes, enslave...

See, when the GMO fascist corporations got "free ride" to plant and experiment with any and all new/untested GMO crops, without any fear of retribution via federal courts [for ANY damages]*, they can and WILL plant all varieties of GE/GMO grains and other food crops which will corrupt our entire food supply.

This will occur via genetic 'drift' and/or pollination crossing via bees and other pollinators, as well as by pollen simply being blown [airborne] into adjacent areas. You are probably unaware that they have these experimental fields placed strategically across the country, in areas that will ensure the greatest 'drift' contaminations. Storms can create updrafts making pollen go up into cloud banks, which can persist for extended periods, and then to later be deposited with rain or winds; contamination can occur hundreds, perhaps even thousands[?] of miles away...

Note that court rulings have upheld that if a farmer's field is contaminated, even without his knowledge or consent, one is still in violation of Monsanto's patent rights [and/or Cargill, ADM, etc...], and can be held liable--and cannot replant his own seeds--as well as facing lawsuits which tie up their $$ and time and efforts to make a living, and often lead to bancruptcy/losing crops/losing their farms.

 [yes, Monsatan has a whole army of active agents and lawyers, and even go into people's fields to test for even ONE plant being contaminated]

Worst part: this is all sanctioned by the fascists in power up 'on the hill'--your elected "representatives" and gov, courts, and their minions--the 'alphabet' enforcer agencies that we used to think existed to protect US. Ha! the joke is on us. We really need to defund/eliminate a good part of our so-called gubment...

...agree?

PLEASE: Learn about this stuff--what is more important?? TV, soap operas, 'idol', mundane everyday activites? or stuff that DIRECTLY affects you and every other soul on the planet? Warn others....get active...I am looking into getting more involved in movements/orgs which can represent our interests

Update: New-found Insights on Being a Cheap-Ass Bastard...

I gotta say, being a Cheap-Ass Bastard (CAB) is becoming really difficult, especially when it comes to food. My 'wake-up' over the last couple years has brought me to new insights, and an appreciation for both health and 'health foods'--nearly a 180-degree shift!. No longer will I settle for the toxic, preservative- and chemical-laden foods I used to savor (well, eat, anyways)--and NO GMOs. Yeah, the shit is cheap in terms of $$ cost, but, in the long run, can be quite expensive, when one considers the effects upon one's heath and well-being. Yup, I woke up…what I thought I could never afford I now cannot afford not to purchase.

Wiping the sleep from my eyes has resulted in a different view on what I can claim as being 'cheap'. Now, what is cheap is that which is non-toxic (or least-toxic), is NOT genetically engineered, but also provides good nutrition at a fair price. Yes, one will feel the bite and tug at the purse strings when considering what to choose, especially if considering organic vs processed crap I used to scarf up.

A lot of the attitude changes were pressed into service when I discovered that we were/are [basically] under chemical and biological attack by the multi-national corporate purveyors of poisons, and their gubment minions in the 'alphabet agencies' (once understood to be our protectors). When looking down the aisles at the local *mart or supamaaket, I now see the vast majority of the so-called 'foods' residing there are really food-like products, with no clear link to natural food's nutritional value, and most hardly fit for consumption (not even to my dog). So, yeah, that shit is no bargain, regardless of cost.

I now cringe at the thought of having to eat out of boxes and cans, especially after previewing their ingredient lists. OK, I confess that I still eat some of that, and use it for prepping (hey, its got preservatives), but I minimize my exposure AMAP. I go in there looking for fresh or fresh-frozen greens, fruit, and produce, and locally baked breads. I'm much more finicky about processed junk and 'meats'. The thing is, one must strive to prepare and process one's own food, rather than leaving that to the corporate whores--they will simply 'soft-kill' you, without hesitation, if it makes them a hefty profit. "Chemicals and additives that are carcinogens/excitotoxins/toxins/genetically spliced-in? or poisonous? ...no problem". ON TOP OF THAT? BPA-laden canned and bottled stuff; why NOT make them all fat, diabetic, and infertile? Pfft. Go for the glass, man--THE GLASS...

One thing that sets these [$$-costly] less-processed foods apart is that they require more TIME & EFFORT to prepare and cook. This inconvenience is probably the main factor that keeps people buying the poisonous crap they KNOW they shouldn't. I'll put it this way; if you don't make it from 'scratch', you're likely poisoning yourself with a host of crap you cannot pronounce, and likely has never been tested for adverse fx (eg., many chemicals & all GMO products and BYPRODUCTS) One usually can't simply rip open a box or can and slop it into the microwave, if we are talking 'real' food. Now, I do have time in my day to cook, but I'll admit to being lazy on occasion, and succumbing to the siren wail of the Bean and Bacon Soup or some chili w/ beans and a hotdog--or even a sandwich on white bread. Hey, I'm only human--but I really put an effort out to minimize that.

Anyways, Now my CAB mission is to locate foods that are actually good for me, at the best price. For example,  it is much cheaper to get frozen veggies instead of fresh, and usually one can save some prep-time because they are often chopped and washed already. Pesticide residue is pernicious and I often question my ability to get it off a lot of produce, especially on, like, kale. Therefore, sometimes it may not be best going the 'farm-fresh' route. Getting any fresh meat that isn't hormone/antibiotic-laden is nearly impossible, but I don't have a work-around yet, really. Thinking about raising some poultry in the back yard, and fish/veggies in an aquaculture setup…

Over-the-Top: A New 'Insanity Virus'?

Over-the-Top: A New Insanity Virus?

Over the past few months, there seems to have been an escalating number of what appears to be totally absurd, even unbelievable,  statements and actions originating from our central government (and related minions). Myriad treasonous (and blatantly unconstitutional) proposals, legislations, press releases, leaked emails, statements, commentary, and activities can be attributed to the mainstream media (MSM), Congress, the Obama administration, and the various ‘alphabet’ agencies (CIA, FBI, DHS, DoJ, and so on). 

‘They’ have certainly gone ‘over-the-top’  with regard to labeling or targeting everyday Americans—damn near the majority of us—in their newest version of the ‘war on terror’. Yup, it’s focus is now ‘Joe Sixpack’, and, frankly, just about everyone else who doesn’t agree with their insane socialist-globalist agenda. This new policy is so extreme, and bizarre, that it defies logic; frankly, it’s rather scary to think that it really can happen here.

Although this has apparently been an ongoing process, more recently the escalation process seemed to start with the gun-grabbing assault on the second amendment (2A) following the unfortunate events at Sandy Hook. Henceforth, there has been an increasingly aggressive assault on our constitutional—inalienable—rights, as well as upon logical thought and reasonable action. OK; most everyone recognizes the lefties are pro-socialist drones, brainwashed by globalist propaganda for generations—but, insane? Absurd? That is, they seem to have been afflicted by some sort of mass-psychosis ‘event horizon’, and now it is just getting way past crazy; they have simply gone too far. It's like we all somehow got transported into the Bizzaro dimension. 

One particular escalation [which prompted this article] is the patently absurd attribution of groups ‘They’ see as “extremists” or radicals, and/or those viewed as potential [so-called] ‘terrorists’. It started with the usual scapegoats; those groups that have been demonized in the past (eg., ‘right-wing’ militia groups, survivalists, etc.). However, over the past few months, such target groups have been replaced by the average American, the everyman, and even our veterans—those who fought to preserve our freedoms and our very way of life. This is truly insane!

The (below) YouTube video goes a long way in explaining the scope of the madness:

Video uploaded by Infowars…"Is the Government Targeting Patriots & Christians?"

Yes, insanity has overcome the whole DC crowd, and all their cronies. That is, as explicated below, their ever-expanding list of ‘extremists’, and  pseudo-terrorists now includes the majority of Americans. This is the crux of the conundrum; If the majority of Americans (yes, I’m included in there too) are ‘extremists’, then what does one call these accusers? It seems only logical to assert that ‘they’ are the ones who are extremists, not these groups of average American citizens. By definition, ‘extremist’ is defined as follows:

(Wikipedia definition)

         “Extremism (represented on both sides of the political spectrum) is any ideology or political act far outside the perceived political center of a society; or otherwise claimed to violate common moral standards. In democratic societies, individuals or groups that advocate the replacement of democracy with an authoritarian regime are usually considered to be extremists; in authoritarian societies, people who espouse democratic or otherwise liberal ideals are labelled as extremists by the ruling class or government.”

As suggested, advocating authoritarian views and policies  would be deemed extremist, in the USA. That is our current situation. Welcome to Amerika! Sieg Heil! It is ‘They’ who are outside the political center—they who are advocating the extremist policies. As far as being ‘way out there’ in the spectrum of social and political ideals, it is the ‘Bamanites’, and not their targeted population (We, the people).

What is certain is that, in general, the average American is not in favor of openly authoritarian rule, but is, instead, pro-freedom and pro-Constitution. Sure, many of us are highly brainwashed and pre-programmed by years of cradle-to-grave propaganda, even a lot of total sheep, but I don’t think we are willing participants in this takeover, as the administration leads us to believe (eg., the '90%+' want tougher gun regulation LIE)

************************************************

Let’s take a closer look at the [absurd] groups that they now claim are threats to the current regime*, and the huge numbers of everyday Americans these groups comprise:

[*note: see “Clickable References” below for sources, citations, and more information re: superscripted notations]

• Religious  “extremists”: No discrimination here…it’s just about everybody…(see Fig. 1a and 1b)
• Christians^a:
• Evangelical &/or any Christian “identity”
• Catholics
• Mormon (fundamentalist)
• Jews (Orthodox, JDL, and others)
• Islamists, Muslims of various sort, and some admittedly radical groups, like KKK, etc.
• “Islamophobia” [ya, not really a religious group]

( **Graphic from:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_States  )

• Veterans^b --mainly, I assume, Vietnam-era-onward but especially returning vets from Gulf area. That is, I doubt they fear WWII or Korean war vets, who are geriatric. This demonization of our veterans is particularly egregious and outrageous!
• (see https://s5-us3.startpage.com/do/search?cmd=process_search&pid=6280c209eea6ccca6e753e77237c51e5 for lots of Infowars articles and info, as well as many sites listed below) 
• see also:  Veterans-Turn in Your Guns
• and  Guns Being Confiscated in America Now

• Gun owners^{c (in general)}
• Interestingly, Gun ownership has spiked recently, and despite all the left-wing rhetoric and demagoguery, this trend includes Democrats & Dem-leaners (see Gallup Poll results:  http://www.gallup.com/poll/150353/Self-Reported-Gun-Ownership-Highest-1993.aspx?utm_source=tagrss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=syndication  )

• “Other” =Non-globalist/non-socialist ‘radicals’ and loosely-affiliated or unorganized groups: pro-Constitutionalists, pro-2A groups, conservatives, ‘liberty lovers’ or Libertarians, ‘patriots’, Tea Party members, tax protesters, Pro-lifers, any Independents or 3rd-party supporters, and any other so-called ‘anti-government’ political activists,  or generally anyone who opposes government tyranny…AKA ‘right-wing extremists’
• (see: http://www.infowars.com/doj-urges-citizens-to-report-extremists-handing-out-literature/  ,  http://blog.heritage.org/2009/09/01/obamas-team-crosses-the-rhetorical-line/  , http://www.wnd.com/images/dhs-rightwing-extremism.pdf  , http://www.infowars.com/police-define-political-activism-as-domestic-extremism/  , http://start.umd.edu/start/publications/research_briefs/LaFree_Bersani_HotSpotsOfUSTerrorism.pdf  , http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/editorials/la-ed-patriot-groups-splc-report-20130308,0,2444361.story?track=rss  , http://www.infowars.com/bill-gives-attorney-general-power-to-designate-gun-owners-tax-protesters-as-terrorists/  )

• ‘Preppers’ and those who store or keep stocks of food, guns, ammunition, or water, for emergency or other reasons…(SHTF? yes. See: http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/04/preppers-the-real-terrorist-or-not/ )

• Gold Standard Proponents: Anybody who sees gold and silver as real ‘money’, as opposed to worthless fiat currency (damn near everyone in US AND the world, I would think...); See video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=8hVKX7ZUBjc 

• White males^d Especially from the South, AKA ‘crackers’, allegedly owning “90%” of all the guns—a LIE; A majority, ~ 54% overall,  are owned by ’non-whites’ (http://www.statisticbrain.com/gun-ownership-statistics-demographics/ ) (see also Fig. 2 and http://www.infowars.com/la-times-announces-white-men-are-terrorists/  , http://www.infowars.com/rev-jackson-says-2nd-amendment-exploited-by-confederate-terrorists/  , and http://www.infowars.com/michael-moore-90-of-guns-owned-by-scared-white-people/ )

• Anybody who has ever been treated or diagnosed with a DSM mental ‘disorder’^e, which includes anxiety and/or depression. Vets are now receiving notices that they are deemed unfit for gun ownership [without due process], and urged or coerced into evaluations &/or illegal gun confiscations; this is a function of Medical or Psychiatric Tyranny
Unfortunately, what seems to be the trend in psychology, and especially psychiatry, is a desire to claim that normal variations in behavior and mood are somehow ‘disorders’, paired with an appropriate medication. This follows the ‘medical model’. However, the vast majority of these so-called disorders have no objective biological or genetic markers. They are simply arbitrary and subjective labels. 
IMHO, it’s all about the big pharma-big psych money [$$]; I contend that the majority of ‘disorders’ are fairly common, transient, and self-resolving events. In fact, many ‘psychotropics’ are no more effective than placebo, in most cases. Also, such drugs have many dangerous side effects, some of which can even do lasting or permanent physiological harm. [note: The author does claim a degree of expertise in his opine, holding both a BA in psychology, and a MS in psychopharmacology] 
The problem with both the labels and the ‘disease’ model is that now, your government wants to group and define you, and limit your rights, based upon such subjective criteria. It seems the administration is intent on using any prior diagnosis or treatment as proof of incapacity, without adjudication; a catch-all for even greater numbers of average citizens. Diagnosis or treatment is now so prevalent that a majority of people may be included in this ‘group’ at one time or another, at some point in their lifetime.  In fact, ever-increasing numbers of our children are being diagnosed with psychiatric ‘disorders’ and treated with psychotropics. It’s getting way out of hand.

Summary: 

The various groups and populations listed above make up a majority of all Americans. For example, the sub-group ‘Christians’ make up nearly 80% of the population, just for starters. Although it would be difficult to separate these groups into discrete populations, because many people are members of two or more of groups, it is reasonable to assert that the addition of members of all the other (non-religious) groups would certainly add even more people to the list of ‘extremists’. Adding to that all the other persona non grata groups listed by the current regime, and masses of radical extremists could go over 90%. I think that it can safely be stated that 90%—or even 50%—of a population CANNOT BE CALLED EXTREMIST; we’re talking moderate, average, or everyday Americans here—the majority. WTH is wrong with these ‘bamanites? Are they simply insane? It seems as if they have all gone over-the-top.

The populations of these so-called ‘extremist’ groups makeup the majority of Americans. It is both irrational and illogical to assert that the majority of people are now somehow radicals—by any definition. Instead, the real extremists are government elites, propagandists and their (mainstream) media minions who support and purvey such crapola. These people need to be stopped—arrested, and maybe even institutionalized—they are evidently not thinking rationally, and have suffered a break with reality. 

Q: Can we continue to allow certifiably-insane people to run our government, or to maintain control over our news and information, our money, our society or our national security? 

A: --Hell, no!

Q: To Rob us of our God-given--inalienable--rights, &/or infringe upon our Constitutional rights?

A: --Hell, no!

Problem: The Tragedy of the 'Sheeple'

I think that a majority of people just want to live their lives, and to be left alone (alas, poor sheeple). I concur, wholeheartedly. However, the problems we face now are the direct result of the "me-me" attitude, ignorance, and apathy. Many people just don't seem to 'get it'--they aren’t even aware of anything strange or sinister happening right now, because it doesn’t directly affect them. 

The sheeple go about their compartmentalized lives, and watch their MSM news, while shoving GMO chips into their mouths, by the handfuls. They chomp and drool on their microwave platters, and mindlessly text what few friends they have, and go on to their mindless, compartmentalized jobs, day after day. They blindly go about their day-to-day, not realizing that there are a tiny minority of Banksters out there taking away the majority of their earnings via taxes paid to their minions in the government, while simultaneously lowering the value of what little he has left. They actually believe that paper is somehow “money”…

Poor, ignorant, trusting “Joe Sheeple”; he actually believes that there is a difference between Dems and Reps, and that his vote ‘counts’. He maintains a positive attitude regarding his gub’ment, and trusts that they are, deep-down, striving to benefit he and his fellow Americans. Police, the military, and ‘Homeland Security’ are there to “serve and protect”. There are no bullets. ‘They’ will never invoke the NDAA…whatever that is…

Poor Joe…He spends more time ‘farming’ on Farmville (™) than he does actual gardening in his yard. He actually believes all those food-like products, the chemical cleaners, and the personal care goods in the supermarket are tested, safe and/or nutritious—hey, the gub’ment wouldn’t allow food companies to poison us—would they? He has no backup food storage, and will begin the painful march to starvation, as soon as supermarket shelves are emptied, [following the false flag event-to-come]. He doesn’t even know what ‘SHTF’ means. He doesn’t believe in owning guns, and questions why anybody else would ‘need’ an ‘assault rifle, much less a high capacity ‘clip’...

However, even Joe Sheeple will soon wake up, once the ‘proverbial’ tipping point is reached—when things get really bad, and start affecting him and his; he too, will join in the fight against these insane globalist usurpers. We will have the numbers on our side. We have powerful liberty-loving hearts and minds that will overcome. If it comes to war, we will prevail, because we have ‘right’ and ‘good’ and yes, God,  on our side—against Him, who could prevail?

*********************************************

Q: Has Washington somehow been infected by some kind of ‘insanity’ virus? Perhaps a strain of socialist-idiot pox? Maybe there is a new strain of an IQ-lowering bacteria in the water?[GMO?] WTH? Are the left-leaners eating a big [no, HUGE] box of Dumb-Ass for breakfast—everyday?

Maybe it’s a box of GMO Dumb-Ass…

(Blame that on Obama too; he maintains a constant assault on us via his Monsanto ‘food-fascism’ force.)

A: I don’t claim to know WTH-ever is happening to these yo-yos, and I don’t have all the answers. However, I do know that whatever it is, it’s dangerous, and we must resist and rebel against their push for what seems to be their goal of total, authoritarian, takeover; you and me, and all of the remaining who are awake and still ‘sane’. The time has come to take away these usurpers’ government-rule ‘toys’ and send them to the rubber room for a bit of ‘time-out’.

Conclusion:  All of he foregoing groups comprise a large majority of ‘everyday’ Americans. Those who believe in freedom, justice, and the American way; a nation of people who believe in God and the golden rule, and who are wary of a potentially tyrannical government. These people have different sociocultural and political views, espouse different religious beliefs, and may differ by many characteristics. However, It’s not about race or politics—or any other divisive distinction. We are all brothers-in-arms, when we come under attack. We all experienced this patriotic sense of solidarity, after the events of 9/11; we need to rekindle our unified American identity in order to affect changes, take back our sovereignty, and restore the USA to its constitutional republic status. We are under attack, people. WAKE UP!

Nearly half (45 percent) of those with any mental disorder meet criteria for 2 or more disorders, with severity strongly related to comorbidity.¹

Prepping to Fail (Part 3): Food Storage Basics

Thusfar, our 'fail' scenario has addressed a limited, short-term crisis; things to prepare for in months 1-3. One main assumption was that essential services like water, power, and gas would remain intact, short-term. However, an old military saying is "...ASSUME makes an ASS out of 'U' and 'ME'" (see also the hand-filling issue posted prior). Rather than making fatal errors via assumption[s], it is better to prepare for the worst, or at least, for less-than-optimal conditions. Therefore, one must be prepared to adapt to shortages or loss of one or more of these essential services.

Although a continuous outage of gas, and/or electricity will be daunting, there are offsets and behavioral adaptations which can be made to mitigate same. Adaptations to loss of potable water source[s] are more difficult, but I believe manageable, also with preparation. These adaptations will be discussed in later posts. However, without a long-term strategy for food storage, the aforementioned adapts simply fail; without food, fugetaboutit. So, this critical survival aspect will be focused upon now...

FOOD STORAGE: SHORT-MED-LONG TERM


We talked about stocking 3 months-worth of food as a minimum, previously, as short-term storage. However, given that most items ['non-perishables'] mentioned herein generally store ± 1 year, henceforth, for purposes of this blog, we will designate ± 1 yr as short-term (ST), 2-5 yrs as Med-term (MT), and 5 yr+ as long-term (LT)

A) Short-term: 
We previously discussed many S-T food issues, and these included stocking up on food items which are 'non-perishable', bought in bags, boxes, jars and cans. Many of these items will last 1-5 years, if stored in a cool, dry place. Some items will range up to 5 years or more, as purchased.

One should try to get the freshest sources of such goods, as hinted by their 'best-by' dates (dates often printed or stamped on the bag/box/can). Note that in order to rotate stock, the older items will be on the shelves, and often arranged to be most accessible (outer areas of shelves, etc). One can often mitigate by looking to the back of a stack (etc.), and checking dates (do this for milk , dairy, etc., now, regardless of storing). Note that 'best by' and 'sell by' dates are often merely recommendations or 'guidelines', not strictly denoting an item is 'bad' or spoiled, or inedible after such dates; 'use by' dates may be more tenable or accurate.

Keep in mind that the gub'ment likely has rules re: the dating, so they may just be approximations or 'guesstimates', and therefore dubious (eg., Back in the early '80's during military 'wargames' we only had C-rations to eat, many dating to the mid-50s). However, Inspect cans and containers for signs of age, dents, etc., and don't purchase any showing age or damage-related breakdown!! 

Oxidation is the enemy, in most cases. Acidic foods tend to store well, but also tend to eat away at can linings, etc., over extended periods. Given this, it might be better to purchase tomato products, etc, in bottles or plastic containers (glass bottles w/o metal tops,for med-LT storage). However, as alluded to earlier, assuming reliable 1 year+ dates, most bag, boxes, and cans will be sufficient for short-term storage, up to or greater than 1 year, if stored properly. However, for ST storage (1mo=>1yr+), a kitchen cabinet, pantry, or closet (etc) will suffice.

B) Med-Long-Term:
Storage is extended in cool, dry places in which light is minimized; keep in mind  that many items may be photo-reactive as well. However, oxidation is the biggest enemy. For extended storage, one would be better off if one were to have a dedicated storage area, as well as a means to reduce oxidation and spoilage factors. A dry basement, storm shelter (Okies) or 'root' cellar might be a good place to set up storage racks. However, keep things off the floor, at minimum, and storing in sealable plastic containers/5 gal. buckets is a good plan. Freeze-dried, and/or dehydrated foods offer the most extensive storage capabilities (claims up to 20 years). However, in truth, who wants to be eating 'crisis' food for such an extended time? I recommend getting some heirloom seeds and getting ready to farm-up, if need be. Some might have diminished capacity to do this (limitations), so I leave this in for discussion.

Two of the best ways to limit oxidation, and hence, extend storage times, are to employ secondary packaging techniques, and/or to utilize freeze-dried/dehydrated stocks; let us address the former, first...

1. Secondary Packaging:

This can be accomplished in two basic ways; double-packing and repackaging, though not mutually exclusive. Double-packing involves adding an extra layer of protection from the elements and oxidation. Repackaging is meant to replace the current packing method, which may limit its storage parameters. In either case, the main methods are vacuum-sealing, and/or using additional layers of protection.

a) Additional Layers:

Additional layers would be purposed towards extending storability, and/or separation of stocks for particular terms/needs. For example, packing several bags of beans, pasta, or rice into vacuum bags, and/or then into buckets (eg., 5-gal), perhaps with applicable sauces/seasonings, and so on. If one has a good idea as to how much of particular foods will be required in particular increments of time, it can help organize stocks. However, the main goal is preserving and extending shelf-life. Beans, rice, and pastas come in bags for limited storage, and by double-bagging, etc., the shelf lives are extended. This is especially true if they are vacuum-sealed. Adding packets of oxygen absorbers inside the vac-packs, or outside them, when included in a bucket or other sealable container, ensures even greater extension of food usability.

Vacuum sealers are readily available locally and via internet sales, as are bags, buckets, etc. I would recommend getting a better vacuum unit which has greater bag-size capacity, and more features, like a capacity to use rolled bags, which are more economical, and/or ability to seal jars, via accessories. "Cheap" units may not prove to be cheap, in the long run. Decent units can be had for under $150.00, and better or more commercial capacity units hundreds or more.

Shop around on the internet to get an idea how much bags are, by size, or rolls, and get plenty to save $$. There are many grades of bags, and thicknesses/materials. Mylar bags can be used for extending storage, and they are tough, reusable, and provide light protection as well. They are not cheap, however. I will explore this in more depth later, after I have purchased a decent vacuum unit and have tried a few alternatives...
C.A.B. alert: Some storage items may even be 'scrounged' locally from grocers, bakeries, restaurants, etc., by asking for discarded buckets or 'dumpster-diving' for them--both at considerable savings. Food-grade buckets are optimal (identified by a "2" in a triangle on the bottom), and colored/dark ones of this grade even better. You will likely have to sanitize them yourself (bleach 1:10, vinegar, or disinfectant soap).

b. Repackaging:

One may wish to repack large or bulk-bought items into smaller or more discrete units, and/or to facilitate LT storage. This often includes adding additional layers, or simply replacing larger (bulk) packaging with smaller, more storable vacuum packs and bags. For example, bulk purchased beans, pastas and rice can be broken down into more manageable quantities; eg., into meal/day/week/monthly portions. Such smaller portions can then be vac-packed and/or mylar-packed/sealed, and then placed into 5 gal. buckets, for LT storage. Another example involves eliminating store-bought packaging, which can save storage space; eg., boxed goods like mac-n-cheese, oatmeal, dried mashed potatoes, etc. Often there is a lot of wasted airspace in these, adding oxidative potential, and limiting storage capacity (easier to pack vac-packs into a bucket than boxes).

The foregoing are simplified storage strategies for med-LT storage. As mentioned, they are not mutually exclusive, but both should utilize vacuum packing AND oxygen absorber packets in most cases, either in-bag, or in-bucket (or other sealed alternative[s] storage), to promote extended shelf-life. Keep in mind that your shelf-life corresponds to your food shelf-life, and so, don't cheap-out here. 

2. Freeze-dried/Dehydrated Stocks:


These food stocks tend to be more expensive, and less-available, locally. They add variety and extend nutritive complexity to your diet, as well as adding flavor and viability. Claims of 20-year storage are fairly common, but may not be realistic.
However, they have a real place in any storage plan; many items that one needs to prepare other foods will come in such forms, and are readily stored for LT/MT/ST uses.

Although some of these are offered as 'meals', I personally would skip this concept, and simply order up a quantity of necessities (keep-it-simple-stupid). Such items include:

Powdered/freeze-dried/dehydrated milk, eggs (whole egg = optimal), butter, 'TVP' (textured &/or flavored vegetable protein--bacon, pork, beef, etc), cheese, coffee, creamer, and fruits (bananas/berries/etc.)

These are often needed for extending and flavoring other foods, and/or in preparing other dried- or powdered-form foods like biscuit, bread, and pancake mixes, and so on (with water). Powdered or freeze-dried eggs can be flavored with both cheese and milk and bacon bits (or flavored TVP) for increased palatability, for example. These items will store LT, and without refrigeration, in more compact form. I believe there is a wide variety of such foods available, so shop around, but don't get carried away (remember limited storage space!).

Such foods are often available in mylar/bags/cans; getting this stuff in bulk or in #10 cans might save some serious green, and can always be repacked into more realistic/discrete quantities, using your vacuum packer, etc (see above). I plan on getting a quantity of whole eggs, milk, butter, and ham/bacon-flavored TVP, at minimum. Given I am a 'coffee' nut, and that coffee takes up a LOT of space, I will likely invest some time into getting some freeze-dried stocks as well...

Right now, my goal is to get a 1 year supply of decent food stored up, and to get a vacuum sealer/supplies to get some of that into extended storage, as well as putting up some meats for ST freezing. I realize now that stocking up and freezing is really fail, without vac-packing, and even storing a lot of dry goods. Rotation of stock is essential, and storing foods that one actually eats is optimal. Might be doing some video blogging on this soon, though likely post Xmas...

GL and happy prepping!  ;)  Doit!
