Never Let a Crisis Go To Waste

Current  and not-so-current global and national events have sparked a preparedness mindset across this country like I have never seen before. Everywhere I go I see more and more good people readying themselves and their families for the next tribulation. This has also brought about opportunities for entrepreneurs to provide services and products that fill the needs of all of us.

There appears to be another industry that has grown from recent disasters and tragedies… Crisis Actors. I only recently discovered an organization that provides specially trained actors for FEMA and other governmental readiness drills….CrisisActors.org. They are mentioned in a YouTube video that highlights the inconsistencies surrounding the Sandy Hook facts. I’ve embedded the video below.

I don’t fully buy into everything the video has to say but there is enough there to make a person rethink what the media has put forth for us to believe. And, in total honesty, I would not have placed it on the blog if I thought it was truly a  “tinfoil-hat” production.

I would also like to share a thought about the political reactions generated by this tragedy. And yes, we all have an opinion on this but in some instances the opinions I have read have been met with extreme emotional rebuttal. Like any other tragedy, minds soon start to focus on who or what to blame. Our media likes to steer the US population towards the gun-owners and the types of firearms that they possess. We’re being bombarded with the twisted fact that “most” Americans agree that stricter background checks would keep everyone safer. It seems that this same majority may not have thought this idea through completely. We’re now staring at the possibility of a national firearms registry hatched by the fact that private firearm sales would be banned in favor of stricter back ground checks. The BATF has already been on the news complaining that their system of tracing firearms ownership is “antiquated” and has pushed for the computerization of sales records, (a long way of saying registration).

Should the media be demonizing gun ownership or should we really be looking at the responsibility that officials take upon themselves when they establish “weapon-free zones”?

How can a business or public building take away our ability to defend ourselves yet assume no responsibility for our personal safety when we are on their property?

Shouldn’t the outrage over Sandy Hook really be directed towards the school officials that failed to provide enough security, or any physical security for that matter?

It’s all food for thought I suppose.

YouTube has deemed the video below to be potentially offensive and viewer discretion is advised. It’s about a 30 minutes long. Please keep in mind that it wasn’t professionally produced so the narrative may be a little hard to follow along with. It feels like a good time to share this since the White House has seen fit to exploit the situation and those involved to advance their agenda. I hope you get a chance to watch it and decide for yourself.
