It's enough to make you bipolar.
Yesterday I found a nice, positive article. Now try this on for size.
America’s Tough Times Haven’t Arrived Yet!
Much worse to come for America
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
****************
I have the uneasiest feeling that the American citizenry is being led down the
“Primrose Path” -- a path, I’m afraid, that leads to destruction. I am beginning
to think it may very well be time for all of us to ask ourselves if we are
prepared to survive in a post apocalyptic America?
I have mentioned before that I foresee a complete collapse of the American
economic system. Something, I feel, that will be much, much, worse than the
Dot-Com Crash back in 2000, or even the Sub Prime Credit Crash in 2008. No, what
I feel is coming will be worse than both these two former crashes added
together. In fact, it has, I believe, already begun.
We Americans, indeed, all the citizens of the world, may well be facing a period
of lawlessness the likes of which, the world has never experienced before. We
are talking worldwide anarchy.
Look at what is happening in Washington, DC, today. There is a breakdown of our
form of democracy – a constitutional republic. Our leaders in Congress have
chosen to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the constituents they are sworn to
represent. Our US government has never in its history been as separated from the
people as this congress is. Not only that, but the Congress has become
expendable. It is no longer necessary.
Laws are being made and enforced from the Oval Office of the White House
completely by-passing Congress. The President’s use of Executive Orders and
Czars, answerable only to him, is, effectively, a dictatorship. The US
Constitution is viewed by those in power in America today as “an outdated list
of suggestions” that needs to be trashed.
That American Dream, we Americans grew up hearing about, is no longer a dream
but a nightmare. America’s capitalism is being tossed aside in favor of nation
killing socialism. Our children and grandchildren are now carrying a debt load,
imposed on them by the government, which they will never be able to pay off. We
are headed toward, some say, to a global debt bomb which, when it explodes, will
bring worldwide anarchy. Our civilized infrastructure will simply collapse. Here
in America the dreaded Great Depression of the last century will be replayed in
this century. Some are referring to it as “The Great Depression II.”
Once again, American will be forced to look to themselves for answers on
survival. As did our famous Pilgrims and Frontiersmen ancestors we will be
called upon to provide for our families as best we can. Preparation is called
for. Those preparations should be made NOW!
Each of us should be stockpiling food and necessities for many months of
anarchy. If you do not have a firearm, get one, learn how to use it, and be sure
to stockpile plenty of ammunition. We are talking self-defense here. If you have
food and others do not, you may be called upon to defend your family and your
family’s foodstuff.
Hide your guns! The current US Presidential administration has made known its
desire to join with the United Nations in an effort to strip you of your
constitutional right to own and bear arms. (The 2nd Amendment to the US
Constitution.) Remember, we warned that many in our current government view the
constitution as outdated suggestions? They WILL come after our guns, so hide
them. You may need them later.
When the collapse comes you will be forced to act in your own self-interest and
that of your family FIRST – IF you intend to survive.
Americans have been asleep for the past few generations. We have allowed our
government to be overtaken by socialist, and Marxists, and Progressives and
today we are reaping what we have sown. We find ourselves on the brink of total
collapse. And all this while -- we thought it couldn’t happen here. But it can –
it has!
Will there be a Second American Revolution as some are predicting? Frankly, I do
not know. I sincerely hope it does not come to that. Many American voices are
calling out that if we wish to reestablish a new capitalist society after the
collapse, we must consider every avenue. One can only prepare for the worst and
hope for the best. Rest assured, there will be no renewal as long as our
government remains in the hands of the socialists and Marxists. We can begin the
process of removing them from office in the Mid-Term Election in November of
2010.
As Thomas Paine said in “The American Crisis” these are, indeed, “the times
which try men’s souls.” These times will also try our determination to survive
and our determination to ensure the survival of our country. But FIRST – WE MUST
SURVIVE.

It's been many years since I learned about Maslow's Pyramid. The concept has been stuck in my mind all these years, but I never expected to someday be faced with starting over again at the bottom.
