Misinformation and Prepping

When I was a young cop, I watched a pilot at our local air show fly his plane right into the ground. I realized instantly what had happened and turned to see the entire emergency crew, many of them veterans, just standing there, frozen in disbelief. I yelled at them, “Get over there, he’s crashed” and then immediately forgot where I had parked my patrol car. Some things are hard to believe, even if we see them with our own two eyes. Sometimes it takes awhile to process what we are witnessing, and reconcile how it relates to us and what our reaction should be. There are also those individuals that lapse into a state of shock, or simply fail to realize the exigency of a situation and perish because of it. I learned a great axiom as a rookie from a seasoned vet: “Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear”. If you were to believe the mainstream media, things are really looking up. Housing is booming, the Dow is setting records, there are good jobs to be found, and the recovery is in full swing. However, if you really take time and do your own research you will see a completely different story. Things are usually the exact opposite of what the politicians tell you in order to maintain the impression of control. One recent outrageous example that perfectly proves my point was the president’s recent statement “The World Is ‘More Stable’ And ‘Less Violent’ Than Ever”. Like many, I was in disbelief (remember, none of what you hear). However, there are a staggering number of people that think because it is seen on the major news outlet, and delivered with authority, sincerity and corresponding statistics it must be so. However, a recent poll shows that over 93.2% of government statistics are manipulated for political gain. (I just made that up). The truth is the world is more violent and less stable than ever before. For generations, the world’s main concern was nuclear proliferation between the superpowers. Now, it seems like everyone’s got a nuke, or is rushing to get one. Race relations have degraded to what appears beyond repair, inflamed by career race baiters and the MSM. Banksters rake in obscene profits while destroying the middle class. Washington is a sinking ship without a rudder or captain. Health threats like Ebola and new diseases carried by illegal immigrants pouring over our porous border and a feckless congress add to the toxic mix. The cancer of political correctness and a government that calls an overt act of terror “workplace violence” and police militarization and economic collapse simply add to the perfect storm for a disaster of biblical proportions. Beheadings and new threats from Islamic terrorists while the government spies on good Americans makes me reluctant to even mention disasters like Fukushima, the ongoing catastrophic drought, earthquakes and volcanic activity worldwide.
