The March Toward Implosion

A quick scan of the headlines on any given day is sufficient for most of us to conclude that the fast march toward economic Implosion is progressing with abandon.

I remain convinced that the Doom & Gloom that will visit America will begin in earnest with a sudden pop of the bubble that is the economy. Ben is simply printing dollars and giving them to Bad People, who use those dollars as fuel to power further toward destruction. Most of us understand the fundamental reason for our devolution as a country: The moral fiber of the average American is torn.

When the "Economy" finally sags under the weight of the lies that have been inflating the bubble there will once again be financial execs leaping from buildings, and soon after will begin the disruption of Just-in-Time deliveries, and soon after, probably 72 hours or so if History remains accurate, the riots will begin and then grow daily. Then all of the Doom & Gloom scenarios become possible.

When someone throws a punch at your nose or a bullet at your chest, the prudent move is to get off the line of attack. Don't be where the punch or bullet travels. That is precisely the premise behind the Citadel. Some of us have chosen to find people who think as do we, move into a neighborhood together, removed from the direct lines of attack, rioting, hunger, disease that will follow, and cover one anothers back.

National headlines and recent events in our own little part of the Internet should remind us all how important it will be to choose carefully who will live among us. It should have every single one of you working out remedies in your minds about how we will deal with people who reveal themselves to be less-than-tolerable as neighbors in a Citadel setting in a SHTF world. Recent events should have all of you focused like a laser on the fact that just because a person claims to be a "Patriot" just like you, just a little scratching of the surface reveals a different truth.

I hope you are hardening your hearts. The storm coming for us will be epic.

On the other side of the storm let us hope that a small colony of people who genuinely appreciate Jefferson's Rightful Liberty will be able to influence the direction of the remnants of society.

Until then, remember that every major city and metro area in America has an "Establishment" army, being outfitted with tools of war by FedGov, probably because prudent people in FedGov anticipate they will lose the ability to project Federal/Establishment force at some point.

Let us hope that vacuum of power works to our benefit, that we have chosen our neighbors wisely, and we have prudently set aside a sufficient set of preps and tools to not only survive, but to prevail and give Liberty a second chance.

If you and I fail, Liberty will die on the planet.
