Frank and I were having a discussion over lunch today involving the immigrant invasion in Europe. Frank asked me how the leaders of these countries could continue to make such poor decisions. Decisions that will ultimately lead to the demise of their countries and populations. My response? Name one good leader of one country in the world. We couldn't think of any.
Name one leader that is making sound financial decisions.
Name one leader that is protecting the rights and freedoms of the citizens.
Name one country that is making decisions that are boosting free enterprise and the independent businessman.
Name one country that is providing healthy food that is not laced with pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers and GMO poison producing seeds.
Name one country that has enough jobs.
Name one country that has maintained it's infrastructure so that it can withstand the onslaught of population growth.
Name one country that can produce enough food to feed it's people.
Name one country that can withstand a major cyber attack of it's electrical grid, financial institutions or military infrastructure.
Name one country that gets along with all the other countries.
Name one leader that is not a power hungry, control freak.
Name one country where the freedom of the people has increased instead of decreased over the last decade.
Name one country where bigotry and hatred has not increased over the last few years.
Name one country where privacy has not been given away in the name of protection and security.
Name one country where the leaders have not done all in their power to disarm the populace.
Name one country where the government doesn't have an us against them (the people) attitude.
Name one...........
I wish we could.
Where does this leave us? We have yet to find out, but it won't be long. It really doesn't matter who the leaders are anymore. They all belong to the same club, drive the same cars, eat the same food and spout the same mantra. Some of them try to put their own special, personal twist on the message, but it's all the same. Everything else is a distraction. You have to dig down really deep to get beyond all of the everyday lies and deception to see what is happening to the world. What you uncover is unbelievable, gets worse every minute of every day, and unfortunately, there is nothing we can do but watch it unfold and try to prepare for a survival scenario of unknown origin. Don't be fooled by the stupidity and distractions placed before you. Keep your wits about you or this thing that is coming will devour you. Don't get on the truck.
Until next time - Fern
Hello, Frank here.
Ladies and gentlemen, about seven months back I wrote a piece that I'm going to re-post. It's as relevant today as it was then. I hope you enjoy it, and if you do, share it with your friends and loved ones. And if you don't enjoy it, please let me know, and if you do let me know, would you please state why? I hope it makes you think.
We'll talk more later, Frank

You know we post and talk all the time about some kind
of collapse in our society. When you're sitting in church, some people
talk about the good Lord coming back and how things are going to change.
If you're reading
financial pages, there is always some doom
and gloom fellow saying that you need to buy precious metals, because
the markets are going to collapse. Well, you flip to another channel in
your brain, and there are the folks proclaiming that the grid is going
to go down. If you flip around in your head to another channel, you hear
people talking about revolution, it's time for a revolution. Any one of
these above scenarios, and many others, could happen at any time. There
is a collapse often in this country on a local basis. It could be
caused by a tornado, hurricane, grass fires, your local plant shutting
down and you lose your job, and the list goes on.
So,
why is it that so few people actually prepare for some type of down
time? FEMA, The Red Cross, many church organizations and civic groups
all recommend that people be prepared for some type of collapse.
Remember, most of these are local. And if your house just blew away,
for
whatever reason, then you are in a local collapse situation. But, I ask
again. Why is it so difficult, when there are so many possibilities of
some type of local or national collapse, why is it that so many people
refuse to prepare? Well, there is always the classic reason, "It's not
going to happen to me!" Or, let me see, "I'll go stay with my mommy."
And I love this one, "I will befriend a farmer." Or the guy that tells
you, "I'll just go take what I need from people." But, I guess my
favorite one of all is, "I'll just go walk into the woods and survive."
There are many other excuses why people don't prepare, "I don't have the
money." "It takes too much time." "What will my friends think?"
I
live in southeastern Oklahoma. We have the national weather service,
just like almost every place in the United States of America. We have
local
radio and TV stations that are always telling
us what they think the weather is going to do. But people will still go
fishing on a lake when there is a chance of thunder and lightening. And
there will always be fans sitting in the stands at a little league
baseball game watching their kids play ball in a thunder storm. Every
year, in this part of the country, at least one kids gets killed by
lightening on a baseball field. Can you see the clouds coming? Are you
one of those that's standing out on the baseball field looking off to
the west watching the sky get dark? Anybody with any sense knows to get
off of that baseball field.
Anybody
with any sense can look at the economic condition our country is in. If
you can read at all, then you know how vulnerable our aging electrical
grid system is. I'm not going to touch on the religious aspects, but I
will touch on morality. Look at all the filth and trash that is on
television everyday. The vast majority of people do not believe that it
influences their
children. Look at the way parents
dress their kids. Look at the way the parents dress. If you don't think
television influences adults and children, then please go back, turn on
the TV, and watch a football game, where cheerleaders are jumping up
and down and everybody has been conditioned to pretend that they are
admiring their athletic talent. That's where we are folks. Our moral
decay is eroding the foundation of our society. No, it's not eroding it,
it HAS eroded it. And if you don't think that killing an unborn baby is
wrong, then you are a product of that erosion. Government sanctioned
murder. If you don't think that's not decay and erosion, then I don't
know how to convince you.
Our
financial system is holding on by a thread. I don't know where to
start. Banks are openly stealing people's money. The Federal Reserve
Bank is printing money in a figurative sense by the billions daily.
That's right, daily. And our government tells us that we only have
minimum inflation. Have you paid attention to the cost of food and
gasoline lately? Or the reason you don't pay attention to it, is that
you're in too big a hurry to get home and watch pornography on your
computer with your ten year old child sitting beside you? Maybe that's
why you didn't notice the cost of food and gasoline escalating.
And
our aging electrical grids. It has been written about time and time
again how the aging electrical system cannot continue. And it can't. It
was built primarily to serve half the number of people it is serving. It
is unsustainable, it can't continue, the electrical grid will go down. I read
articles
in respected newspapers on a regular basis that imply that foreign
governments could hack into our electrical grids and shut them down at
any time. Do you know what that means? That means you will not be able
to buy gasoline, your computer won't work and your TV will be off. And
if you have the fantasy belief that all cell phone towers have back up
systems, then you have been watching way too much television. Without
power in this country everything will come to a stop immediately. No
banks, big box stores shut down, everything shuts down. I know, I know,
I'll just pick up my leatherman tool, grab my tent, and go live in the
forest. Good luck.
There is a
distinct feeling among many people that our government is in the process
of gathering data and information so that they can control the people.
Is that the possible reason that the department of agriculture is now
buying 40 caliber submachine guns? That's right, the department
of
agriculture. Do you know why local police departments are now using
military style vehicles? Why is NSA gathering and recording data on
every person in this country? Why back a short while ago, on New Year's
Eve night was the NDAA signed into law? If you know what that means,
congratulations, because most people don't have a clue. For you clueless
ones, it's the National Defense Authorization Act, which means that you
have no Constitutional rights. You don't read this type of stuff on the
sports pages. You can be arrested at any time, with no jury, no trial,
no charges, no search warrant, and you don't have a clue.
So, the question still stands. Why is the department of agriculture buying 40 caliber submachine guns? Along with the IRS, NOAA you know, the
weather
people, the postal service, and the list goes on. Okay. Let's see. Our
moral systems have collapsed. The economy is a huge, huge bubble. Our
electricity could go down at any time. Our beloved government is
stocking up on guns and ammunition. Now they have NDAA. So, can you see
those clouds coming? Are you going to stick your head in the sand and
continue to pretend that it is not going to rain on you? I hate to tell
you this, buddy, cause when it rains on you, it rains on everyone. Did
you ever figure out why your remote control doesn't work?
This weekend Patrice Lewis at Rural Revolution wrote a very interesting piece for World Net Daily, which she does weekly. It was very thought provoking and provocative. I'd recommend that you read it. A while back I wrote a little piece, and I would appreciate it if you would take a gander at it also. Folks, we have dark clouds on the horizon.
We'll talk more later. Frank
Hi Folks. There are so many things happening in our country and the world, that we are not finding anything inspiring to write about today.
It seems that the country is holding it's breath to see how the outcome of the Ferguson grand jury will turn out. There are many, many people that don't feel the outcome will be good, regardless of the jury's decision. My heart really goes out to the people that live in that area. We can't imagine how difficult it is to wait and see if chaos will break out in their neighborhoods.
Then there is the new round of executive orders our Tyrant in Chief signed. I don't know what kind of shape we will be in by the time he leaves office.
Next, comes the lack of reporting on Ebola and the suspicion that any real information concerning this disease is being suppressed. I really don't feel we have any real idea about the spread, or lack thereof, of this highly contagious illness.
So, the next distraction to be splattered on the headlines while we wait to see if protests and rioting will occur, is how fragile our electrical grid is. It can be taken down anytime by hackers from anywhere in the world, which will bring on TEOTWAWKI.....at least here in our country. Then what? How will our not so friendly neighbors around the world react if that happens? Especially if they are the ones that cause the grid to go down.
Fear. It appears that everywhere we turn, we are supposed to be afraid. Fear is a very good control mechanism. If Group A can cause enough fear in Group B, then offer a solution or protection
from the reason for the fear, then Group B will accept whatever conditions come with the protection. Sound familiar? Can we say Patriot Act and NDAA? Don't worry about the new, latest and greatest crisis Group B, we'll save you! But, there is a cost, you know. You will have to pay the piper. You can't afford it? Well, that's okay, we'll let you work it off by paying for all of the other schmucks that won't, and have never worked, and didn't have to, because they've always played the game right. Unlike you. But, don't worry, be happy. We are here to save the day.
Why is it that a relatively small group of people with loud voices and demanding, aggressive personalities can control the rest? Why is it that small groups of demanding people can force others to accept their ways of life? Why is it that regular, old folks cannot speak their minds and have everyday conversations expressing their views? Why is it that the masses allow themselves to be manipulated and controlled by such a small group? It brings to mind the Holocaust.
Are we the only ones that feels this way? Do you feel this way? Do you feel that we're heading down the path to light, or to darkness? A good while back Frank felt that something had been loosed in our world.
It just feels like something is not right, and it appears to be getting stronger. Frank and I are both religious, spiritual people, but we don't like to blame every negative that occurs on a lack of Christ type of scenario. But, it sure does appear that is what is happening. Everywhere we turn, there is bad or evil. Lying at the highest levels has become common, even when it's so easy to prove that they are lying. When we were children, we were taught that lying was one of the Big 10, that you don't break. The Ten Commandments, that is. And now days, it seems to mean nothing. Billy Graham even recently said we are educating our children in a culture of evil (paraphrased).
We feel sorry for the poor folks in and around Ferguson, Missouri. We hope this turns out relatively peaceful. But there seem to be bad folks at all levels, that are doing everything they can, to insure there is some form
of crisis. Remember, never let a good crisis go to waste. This one just doesn't feel right. We're sure we'll find out soon enough. But, remember, there are a lot of good folks out there, too. We don't think we'll be seeing or hearing much from them in the next few days, because what we see and what we hear is not impartial any longer. It's just a prettified version of eloquent lies coming from talking heads. We're scared, and we don't think we're the only people that are. We're going down a deep, dark path into a forest where sunlight seldom reaches the ground. Whatever has been loosed is about to devour it's prey. Slowly at first, but it's here.
So, Folks, we don't have any inspiring words today. We're frustrated and angry. We're afraid. We know that there are many good things in this world, and it will continue to be so. It's just that today, these dark, somber days are heavy and foreboding. Be vigilant. Please pray for the folks in Ferguson.
May God bless us all.
