And then one day, finally, real democracy came!
We were feeling that after long time of the same old politicians who cared only for themselves or their own circles and families, suddenly there is a man (or people) who will bring something new for us, pride, strength, wealth or whatever.
Media was full of high hopes and praising, in order to bring new world for us, jobs, security and what not.
New factories are promised, new liberties, patriotism and love for the country exploded.
Something beautiful was expected. We felt like it is dawn of new era…..
What a bunch of f#@king idiots we were.
Then the polarization started. At the beginning it was something like “there are people FOR and there are folks AGAINST it” whatever that “IT” was.
Pretty soon we were “thrown” into situation where you have two families, they are neighbors, friends for years, decades even, but over the political reasons they started to see each other with kinda ‘bad blood’.
And then one morning, SHTF and I found myself standing in my backyard like an idiot, still trying to find out what happened with great words of new era and better life…?
People were shot dead on the street for fun or wrong words, fire trucks were driven by stoned teenagers in weird uniforms, police cars burning, men with assault rifles walking on the street in cowboy boots and metal band T shirt acting like self proclaimed government forces, every group who had more then 15 guys and 5 rifles was self proclaimed police force doing whatever they want to do…
Whole bunch of people who had dreamed of times where and when they can do whatever they want emerged.
I forget together with bunch of other people high hopes and big words, all what was left is pure survival, day by day.
America
I got mail from one of my readers (thank you Mike!), and I really liked it. Mike and I share some opinions in exactly same time, I will cite his message here:
“My nation, America, is being abruptly dragged out of a deep and prolonged state of subconscious anxiety and depression. It is being assaulted with hope and this is beginning to produce a state of relief which will be managed into uncritical nationalism if at all possible. This euphoric state of national mind is the perfect cover from which to ambush a nation. The pressing for a one world government did not die under Trump, it simply got a new face. The danger to America and to the other nations of the world are more real now than ever. Extreme sobriety is warranted at this time. Most people I have spoken with cannot see this. They need to. Perhaps you could bring this to attention. Mike”
Yes, America is being “attacked” with hope, changes, trust in better life, new jobs, pride.
In the same time media is on the run for making “demon” out of people or political options, and polarization is there.
It all looks (sadly) VERY familiar to me.
It is looking so familiar too me that I have to say I am afraid for the near future of Americans.
Stage there is “perfect” for violent changes and SHTF.
Stay sober, operate in your small circle, you will appreciate that effort when SHTF.
What Can You Do?
In terms of “big picture” you cannot do anything. It is like that, if big players are set to make shit, then it will happen, and timing and climate there in US is perfect for that, so no matter how hard I hate to shovel “fear”, you have to be afraid if that will at least mean you get into motion.
And again and again – think in small circles.
For example, I can say for myself that I am for human rights, protecting the weak and people who suffered, but more from that I am about respecting of my way of living, and if there is a bunch of people who wants to change my way of living with force because they are so different I want them out of my country.
Now this sounds nice and normal, decent.
But it does not have too much with storing food and ammo, learning new skills, knowing how to purify water or simply working on your survival group.
When real SHTF there is no no democrats, republicans, political options, right or wrong, left or right.
Everything is kinda blurred and at the end there are YOU and OTHERS.
You will find yourself standing somewhere, maybe in similar backyard like mine, 25 years ago, asking yourself where everything is gone and how suddenly bottle of water is more important then whole bunch of political options, parties, opinions, solutions etc.
And you had such a high hopes in better life!
Stay on the right track of prepping, do not be mesmerize with current events. Monitor events, of course, but stay on the track, and please do not have high hopes that “everything gonna be OK”.
Also note, while America is the greatest example of this problem just now, other countries are , and will, experience very very similar things… Don’t believe it ‘Can’t happen’ where you are…

NOT ONLY IS THIS GUY A FOOL, HE CAN SHOVE HIS “DEMOCRACY” UP HIS BUNGHOLE…………..
I agree with the statement people are being lulled into a trap, in fact let me point out to everyone the two times (well known) that this was used, you know the rest:
1. Rise of NAZI Germany, first a forced depression (all of this was planned) then introduce a fake saviour: Hitler. Result: FASCISM. (National Socialism)
2. The most overlooked: Soviet Union. Russia is in the dark ages of economic death, in steps Lenin and Co.
They all stepped in right on the edge of total destruction, offered to save everyone then nailed the coffin shut fast. Agree with the article or not, there is a dark warning in it, we are watching it start all over again; who knows how they plan to END it this time though.
“And then one day, finally, real democracy came!”
First, America is NOT a democracy – now or ever. It is a constitutional republic.
Why is that better? Because everything that those who serve within our governments – state and federal – is in writing, easily obtainable to all, and enforceable by the people.
“Enforceable by the people”? Yeah, the US Constitution (supreme law of this land) REQUIRES that those that serve within our governments use the Militias to…
— Enforce the US Constitution (supreme law of this land) and each state’s Constitution (highest law of the state),
— Enforce and keep the “Laws of the Union” (which are constitutional laws ONLY),
— Protect the country against all enemies both domestic and foreign, and
— “to suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions”.
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 15. Clause 16 lays out the duties those that serve within state and federal governments have to the Militias.
George Washington: “It may be laid down, as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every citizen who enjoys the protection of a free government…, but even of his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency.” (“Sentiments on a Peace Establishment”, letter to Alexander Hamilton; “The Writings of George Washington”)
By that requirement, those that serve within our governments are FORBIDDEN to use any other person, group, etc UNLESS there are no “regulated” (trained as required) Militia available to carry out those duties (yes, they are paid positions when working for the governments). The training required is to be trained as the Congress requires the military to be trained; and to know the US Constitution and the Constitution of your own state so that you can recognize unlawful and color of law when ordered to commit those crimes, or when it is being done by another.
Color of law. The appearance or semblance, without the substance, of legal right. Misuse of power, possessed by virtue of state law and made possible only because wrongdoer is clothed with authority of state, is action taken under “color of law.” Black’s Law Dictionary, Fifth Edition, page 241.
At this time, it is OUR fault that a Militia is not available in every state. There are enough veterans out there to train them so that they can be used as constitutionally required, which also protects the people from “emergency powers”,”martial law”, and a police state being used against them.
“When real SHTF there is no no democrats, republicans, political options, right or wrong, left or right.
Everything is kinda blurred and at the end there are YOU and OTHERS.”
HellooooOOOOOO…
It’s ALWAYS been that way, clueless…
“Senator Charles F. Meachum: There are no sides. There’s no Sunnis and Shiites. There’s no Democrats and Republicans. There’s only HAVES and HAVE-NOTS.”
Wakey, wakey…
