While the signs are all around us and as clear as day to those paying attention, a large portion of our population, like that of Germany in the 1930′s, simply doesn’t understand what’s happening, or they bury their heads in the sand so as to avoid ruffling the feathers of the all powerful and entrenched American Police State.

Be prepared to face brutality by responding in kind – with overwhelming brutality that will surprise, disarm and neutralize the threat with extreme prejudice. You must be ready to take it all the way – your life and the safety of your family may depend on it.

We’re seeing a collapse happening. It’s an economic collapse worldwide…

Imagine, for a minute, what America would look like if nationwide curfews were implemented, civil rights were suspended (including confiscation of guns), the US dollar crashed, ATM’s and credit card transactions were restricted, and food and gas purchases were limited.

When you think in terms of survival, consider worst case. What would you do, for example, if a nuclear reactor goes into meltdown 30 miles from your home or a dirty bomb is detonated? At that point, it really doesn’t matter who did it or why. What matters is making it out alive.

Absent a worst-case terror attack, even if the “broad coalition” overthrows and kills Qaddaifi, it will not amount to victory any more than executing Saddam Hussein and routing the Taliban has brought victory to Iraq and Afghanistan.

It’s clear that Europe’s economy is in trouble, and that austerity measures need to be implemented, as the entire EU has essentially become one large welfare state, much like the United States.

When a country’s economy starts imploding, they will almost always blame another country for their woes. In this case, we have China essentially using slave wages to manufacture low quality goods at hyper-cheap prices, making it almost impossible for any other country to compete.

Terrorism has evolved. Big-time terror is becoming more self-radicalizing. They don’t need an organized movement.
