Do You Have the Discipline to Survive?
We continue to have some very thought provoking comments here at Thoughts From Frank and Fern, and I’d like to talk about a couple of them. As the world continues to spiral ever faster out of control, there is truly much to think about. While Frank was responding to Bellen in one of the recent comments, the word discipline stuck in my head. Here is what he said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hello, Bellen. It always pays to be vigilant. Who would have thought that a Christmas party in California, during the daytime, before noon, on a weekday, would have been a death trap. But it was and it is. The rules are changing. Fat, lazy and slothful just don’t cut it anymore. People have the ability, they need to use that ability. This easy life that we’ve experienced for decades now is going to haunt our very survival. The enemy isn’t fat and lazy, and they are filled with hatred. Where does that leave us? Thank you for your words of wisdom. Time is short, but we still have time. Prepare now. Right now.
Frank

What struck me in this comment is the fact that our enemies are not fat and lazy, but we are. We’ve had it way too easy for too long,
we’re soft and don’t want to do the hard things in life. It’s true, I spend way too much time sitting in front of this box, looking, reading, writing some, just goofing off when I could be doing something constructive, or learning something. It’s not like I have to do hard manual labor every minute, but there are always things that need to be done instead of sitting here. Here is another one of Frank’s comments.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hello, Hobo. Yes, it will happen here, because it is happening here. Let’s take a short look at history. The Japanese government’s involvement in WWII did not start with the bombing of Pearl Harbor. That is not when the Pacific war started. It started months and years before the first bomb was dropped at Pearl Harbor.
The war we’re involved in right now has been festering for years, and it’s not going away because we put economic pressure on some country, or we tell some government that if they don’t stop we will punish them. This war has begun, and it has started. For those that roll their eyes, well, there is nothing you can do about those type. Do the best you can and prepare for the effects of war, because it is happening here. It’s happening over most of Europe, and most of us don’t have a clue. Take a serious look at the Middle East and Africa. Most of those countries are suffering the effects of war today. All that is left is the western world. This is all by design. It’s not going to be pretty. I feel sorry for lots of people, my friends, neighbors and relatives. I just don’t know what to say. Prepare while the sun is still shining, because it is going to get dark. Prepare your mind to do the unthinkable.
Frank
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just think about that. We all know that some terrible atrocities are coming to our country. We are not immune to the plague of terror that is becoming the scourge of the world. There is no vaccine to
prevent it. No medicine to cure it. No amount of thinking, wishing or praying will change the destiny of our world. The financial markets are wobbling to and fro like an old fashioned wooden top, and you know what always happens to tops after a time. The glitz and splash of this commercial season has done little to distract or contradict the evil mist that is infiltrating weak minds that are looking for some type of meaning in life. Some are convinced that the only way to be powerful in their own right is to take the cowards way out and kill those that are weaker than themselves.
Frank is right, time is short and it will be getting very dark soon. So do we have time to be lazy and slothful? No, we really don’t. This is where the thought on discipline comes in. When I sit back and try to get a realistic picture of the work that will be necessary every single day in a survival situation, I know it will take just about everything I can muster, and some days even more than I think I have in me. The discipline I can develop now will payoff in ways untold when it is crucial to our survival.
When your enemy, either foreign or domestic, is a trained, disciplined, determined foe, full of hatred and wishing you death,
how can we justify a lack of discipline on our part? I don’t mean in ‘preparing’ things like beans, bullets and bandaids, but in all things. There are days I just don’t feel like working hard, I’d rather sit back and spend too much time entertaining myself in front of this box. If the enemy were at my gate I don’t think I’d have the luxury of sitting back with my feet up counting the tulips, unless they were the ones on my grave.
Discipline is an exercise of the mind. Your mind is what controls everything, your appetites, desires, needs, wants, fears, excitement, everything. We are all experts in justifying what we do, giving numerous reasons or excuses for this or that, but the truth of the matter is that we do, or don’t do, because we have made up our mind to do so. The reasons don’t matter, the outcome does.
Do you have the discipline to survive? To do what is necessary, day in and day out? To defend your loved ones and food supply? To do the unthinkable? It’s impossible to imagine what it will truly be like in a collapse situation. The events that occur will be dependent upon the impetus that pushes the world over the edge of life as we know it. One thing is for certain though, there are some events that appear to have been set in motion that will bring out very strong feelings in many people. Feelings that deal with freedom, the right to defend ourselves, raise our food, and live life the way we see fit. It’s time to quit playing at preparing and discipline ourselves, especially our minds, to sharpen our wits and focus on the scenario that is unfolding before our eyes. It’s time to be ready to defend ourselves.
Until next time – Fern

Whistler Blowers, Insiders
I could write something now that underlines the author´s sayings… we all know the problem of over-civilization and the results of its fruit, cowardice and idleness, even in daily life during peace time…
Well, but everyone could write this. I prefer today to say something completely different to the readers here.
I say:
If you are about twenty years old now, and managed to get thru your schooltime WITHOUT losing yourself in drinking, drugging, gang-banging or playing WoW 16 hours a day – why think you perhaps dont have enough discipline to survive? A schoolyard of to-day is no less dangerous than a jungle. What you will probably lack will be the important skills of how to cook really cheap but wholesome meals, how to do manual labor without boredom, how to grow food and raise chicken, and how to find edibles out in the wild. All this is not too difficult to learn.
If you are in your thirties now, and were reasonable and industrious enough to get yourself an acre of land with a house on it to live in by now – you will most probably survive the next Great Depression, and your kids too, except if you bought the realty only to show up to others and did nothing to make it crisis-proof, as would be the planting of some fruit trees, and the installation of some solar electric cells and at least one wood stove. but you got to either have or get the basic skills named in the sentence about the twenty-year-old ones. in your generation, I think, only few learned them during childhood or youth… you all only learned Computing right out of the cradle – a skill you may well forget when the Time has come. I predict that many of you will GLADLY do so.
If you are forty-five or fifty now, still NOT on regular medication for psychiatric or heart problems or diabetes, and either ready to buy an acre of land with a house (having made sufficient savings – do not rely on Bank Credits) or already having one, perhaps by heritage, DO invest in and concentrate on this land and house NOW, instead of feeling indispensable at your Office or Company. Bug out of professional life, without making many words about it, stealthily, step by step. your survival is almost guaranteed if you do so, but if you dont, your job and the more or less sedentary life that it enforces upon you will make you too sick to make it thru the next Great Depression. Your generation still learned how to work hard, also with one´s hands, and how to reckon without a computer, and generally how to use one´s Common Sense, this is why everybody says they need you. But if the young in your company or office keep you as their workhorses, they won´t learn to be workhorses themselves. don´t be silly and play “Hotel Mom and Dad” in your jobs (or in your families!) – see, you rather need your strength to care for the wealth you already gained, and for reliable relatives, than to pamper parasites and protect lazy losers.
And if you are sixty or older, and still in good health, without prostheses or indispensable daily medications – remember that you were happy without much money and lots of toys when you were a kid, in order to not miss the lots of travelling that you perhaps expected from your old age twenty years ago… and remeber that you more or less felt like things went straight downhill in Western societies ever since 1990s and that there never was a better and more honest time during your life than the 1970s… and then dare to relive the qualities of the 1970s in your daily life, and to tell the young about the past as you felt it was, not as they expect how you should have lived it. Then you will become a significant part of a future that is still worth this name.
Good luck.
