I want to believe that I would help as many people as I can.
I want to believe that there will still be good in everybody.
I want to believe that I will still be treated fairly by other people.
I want to believe that no one would want to harm me.
I want to believe that I would never have to use the gun I bought for protection.

I am not such a fool that I would believe!!..I just hope!!..

But I will do what is to ensure survival of myself and those closest to me!!

not sure why you guys think you'd be different. methinks you watch too many movies.


Course it may have an affect on things to. People in the past didn't have movies after all.

I just wanted to suggest watching the movie "7 Samurai"

I dont know about you all but as of lately it seems like a lot of people are feeling like the SHTF is going to happen. In our town, fate has brought people of like minds together and we are in the middle of planning on how to form a micro community where learning skills in martial arts, meditation, farming, public speaking, etc. are shared, learned, tested, and applied. There is a saying that with in all of us is a devil and a god, it is our choice that brings them to reality. I feel that by people of like minds coming together helps increase numbers, and there is security in numbers or it can be turned into an army. All I can say is continue to meet people because life has a funny way of bringing people together. when meeting people, do good deeds so that they have some good memory of you. Continue to gain knowledge in areas of survival, martial arts, and spiritual development. This allows you to enjoy life and when the SHTF at least you have a smart/calm brain ready to deal with the situation.

The 6 stages of awareness by Chris Martenson
from www.chrismartenson.com

--------------------------------------------------

www.chrismartenson.com...
Today is about examining some data in a whole new way. I am going to provide you with a new framework for viewing this data, a scaffolding on which to drape this data, that is probably built a little differently than the one you already have. The information is absolutely vital and critical to your future, but it will be worthless if we examine it in the same way that it has been presented to us by what I’ll term ‘our popular culture.’

So your first opportunity today will be the opportunity to change your thinking.

I must warn you; this will not be easy for some of you. I know this from experience. You may well find yourself progressing through something akin to the five stages of grief throughout the day, and throughout the next few months. Awareness can be troubling enough to mirror the process of grief, and knowing this can be an important means of grounding oneself.

STAGE 1: You might begin with a series of statements to yourself such as “No way can this be true. There must be alternative explanations. This simply can’t be; I would have heard about it.” To help speed you through this stage of denial, I offer you full access to all the source data so that you can check it for yourself. Further, I only draw upon sources that most reasonable people would consider to be highly credible. If you can view all of the data that I will present and find some alternative set of explanations as to why/how all of these things will not matter, I need you to share this with me. Pronto.

STAGE 2: Next, you might find yourself full of anger, saying to yourself (and possibly your loved ones and anybody else that will listen), “Goddammit! Those bastards at the Fed, in the government, in media have been hiding things from me, lying, and serving their own interests at my expense. How dare they!!!” While anger is a perfectly normal and even healthy stage to pass though, it is also counterproductive, in the sense that anger often serves to inhibit action…and as you’ll see later, we don’t really have a lot of time to spend in the non-solution stage. So for everybody’s sake need you to move through this phase as rapidly as possible. This is also why you will not find me assigning blame and pointing fingers. Blame leads to anger and often a sense of victimization – both of which serve to inhibit taking action. Further, the blame game only serves to polarize people into opposing teams - and we’re all on the same team.

are further along tend to catch grief from the people who are not. I ask that you be as respectful as possible of those who are in a slightly different place with all this and know that where they happen to be is right where they need to be at this moment.



Your faithful information scout,
Chris Martenson
