Lighten up a little, Please.

I have been checking the blogs the last couple of days. One thing I am seeing is a growing fear that is getting a bit out of hand. The tin foil hat wearers are starting to run the gamut of BS again. Sorry guys, the "prisoner cars" sitting in the rail stations are actually Rail cars used for transporting Cars and trucks from manufacturing facilities. The market is down, car sales are down, home sales are down, housing starts are down; you name it, its down. We are in the beginnings of a New Great Depression and people just aren't all that aware of it, thanks to the Media and a lying Government. Of course the reason behind that are sound. No one wants a panic: Bad things happen when people panic.

Second off, the way things are going within the halls of congress, whatever does happen to put us into a true state of tyranny is going to happen progressively. For them to just JUMP into that state would spark off a class war so fast that they wouldn't have a chance to implement any of their plans.(example: Healthcare; funding begins immediately, actual implementation of it doesn't start in for another 3-4 years. By then, we will have become accustomed to paying for it and won't have a leg to stand on in argument against it. Thats why so many are Hardcore against it now) There are those of us watching the skyline now, trying to wake up as many as possible NOW. It is a slowly growing number but it is growing. The Size of the TEA parties show that if nothing else. Once woken up, its hard to shut off the flow of information. The deeper you dig into the mess, the worse you find it. To go off on this whole FEMA mess is nearly laughable though. Since when has our Government been "efficient" at anything? Seriously, they may have these plans in place but to actually implement them? I find it hard to believe.(not impossible but rather hard to believe)

Here's a suggestion. (This is one Mayberry can get into ) Get out of the house, leave the laptop at home, leave the smartphone at home. GET OFF THE NET FOR 24 HOURS!. Go fishing, plant a garden(smart prep) go to the range(practice,practice, practice) walk around your neighborhood and try to find the smart ones and not the leeches. Heck, pick up a book that isn't conspiracy theory.(I prefer older Heinlein books when I need a break) IF you really need to do something out there, try to learn a new skill. Once you have knowledge in your head ITS YOURS and no one can take that away from you no matter how much they strip you of freedoms. Key is, try to think about something other than where we are headed, one day a week at least. The facts are, we haven't any control of our Government and the Constitution is meaningless to them. We are going down the tubes. What you do now is going to have repercussion in the future, its up to us to make them positive ones. We can't control the flow of where we are headed but we sure as heck can make an effort to 'cushion the landing' for ourselves.

Things aren't going to blow up overnight. There will be some warning even if they are so subtle that you have to pick them out with a lice pick. We are seeing a growing Tyranny but it hasn't managed to get all of its players in place yet. There is still a chance that this may turn around (slim and I ain't holdin' my breath over it). While you can, enjoy what time you have with the kids in your life, teach them what you know, get them away from the Playstations and Xboxes and get their hands dirty. We, as a people, are going to need creative independent thinkers in the near future, and the younger the better.(I ain't gettin' no younger; Don't think any of us are)

I am going to let this lay there for the rest of the day. I am certain that I have things to add but they can wait.
