Lurked, I tend to agree with this assessment, with the caveat that my view of the coming reality would be construed by most as a form of black pill, save for those with faith in God. I think the true complexity of our situation is lost on most of those who still view America as an autonomous nation. Regardless of the intention or actions present in our becoming integrated with the globe, our situation is that we are less of a sovereign nation, and something of an appendage to a global financial and economic structure. Truly revolting against this government will be nothing short of a complete collapse into lawlessness, and the vulnerabilities this would create would not prevent the cabal's power in other nations from simply reorganizing other nations and resources (much better positioned than we will be during this collapse) to 'retake' the country, perhaps using the chaos as a way to usher in the open global solution. This ignores the fact that the vast, vast majority of this country's people are completely unprepared to sustain themselves without basic local social and commercial functions working. When the lights go out, the utilities go off, and there's no food at the grocery store, 95% of people in this country are going to capitulate to any power that can turn the lights back on. Those people who are able to fend for themselves and produce food, collect water, breed animals, etc. will have to contend with waves and waves of desperate people. We aren't in the unique situation that the earliest Americans (still English at this point) had. They were building anew. Significant change could be promulgated within their early governments by substituting this person for that person, and such. Today, we've got a monstrosity, a balloon that we have continued to inflate and compartmentalize to the point that *most of the people* working in government don't truly know how to run our government. Every individual does their jobs there, and the machine keeps chugging, but it is beyond any one person knowing how we got to where we are. Revolutionizing this system would *entail* a complete restructuring and reassessment, but here's the foil: throwing a wrench in any part of this too-big-to-fail machine means loss of function. We're on a ride, folks. Long ago it stopped being a ride we could just get off when we wanted, even if we killed the driver. I can only reason that things will continue to get worse. I advise finding God, doing what you can to take care of your families and build up some vestige of life in your homes and on your properties. Hold fast for as long as you can. Pray. Be good. Gather as many good people around you as you can and cherish them. Cherish being alive and appreciate the love you do feel. Things will get dark, but my own beliefs suggest that we *knew* this, because we *were told* this would come to pass. What we were called to do was to live the commandments and remain faithful. Each of us needs to have an inner dialogue and a conversation with the men in our families as to what constitutes your **last line**. What is the precise moment beyond which you'll be prepared to die? Is it gun confiscation? Is it some militarized police force making a forced entry into your home? You need to plan for this, and you need to become clear on what your last line is, and what you're going to do when it's crossed. That's really all I have. If what is to come is a global network of control, they'll fight you until you're enslaved, renounce your faith, or die. If collapse is what is to come, something good *will* come from out of the ashes, but things won't be pretty in the meantime. Now is a time to really refocus on faith and the Word, and also on pure gratitude. Look at your families, look at your wives and husbands, and your children. Be grateful for moments. Spend as much time with them as you are able, when not using the remaining part of your time to provide for and protect them. Talk to them about God, and the significance of what is to come, and help them to have some hope. For what it is worth, these things follow a pattern. Rebuilding and revolution both rely on communities. Your best bet would be to try to reach out to allies in your community. NOW is the time to start having conversations about what your *community's last line is*. Assign roles. Keep lines of communication open. Get together on a regular basis to discuss things, talk about who can provide what, who has what specialized knowledge and skills...literally discuss contingencies for maintaining your group if SHTF. If you're in a community where this is impossible or where you're surrounded by NPC's that will gladly turn you over to the ministry, it's really high time to start considering a move. @PS @KingOfWhiteAmerica
