It matters little what the G-7 will attempt to mitigate the unfolding economic \”crisis\”. What matters is what we, as individuals, will do in preparation for what appears to be an inevitable downturn in all things measurable. While it is still possible for us to get back on track and move forward on a relatively firm foundation, it does not appear likely; not with the same people who brought us these problems now peddling their desperate and dubious solutions. We must be prepared to take care of ourselves. I recommend the following list; the 7-G\’s.
1. God. You will not be able to adequately meet the challenges we face without some recourse to the Almighty. Laugh or smirk if you wish. Mortality is short and represents the smallest measure of your existence. If you are not already investing your faith, you might want to at least consider hedging your bets.
2. Grub (or groceries). Your mortal sojourn will be a whole lot shorter without an adequate supply of victuals. The store shelves will be empty within three days\’ time without replenishment. Any number of things can cause the trucks to stop running.
3. Guns (and ammo). Others will be looking to relieve you of you of your stores. If you hope to keep them you will need to be able to defend them. With municipalities laying off policemen due to the economic realities of our day and with an ever-increasing workload, they will be hard-pressed to properly respond to your needs in a timely fashion. Civil unrest is to be anticipated under a host of foreseeable circumstances.
4. Gasoline. Have enough on hand to get you clear of the cities where civil unrest will be at its worst. Plan a route to your rural kin or friends and have enough petrol to get you there.
5. Gold. Paper money is already worth next to nothing. How much cash do you have on hand anyway? What will it be worth when the system of fiat currency ultimately collapses? Who will take your credit or ATM cards? Gold will be the only currency that anyone will consider as an acceptable exchange for the necessities of life, such as grub, gas and guns.
6. Guts. Courage will be a requirement for survival. You will be called upon to do things you never imagined, in circumstances you never dared to imagine. Steel yourself. You might want to get in better physical shape. Refer to item 1.
7. Gratitude. We live in the most amazing time in all of human history. We are about to enter into open conflict with the Master Deceiver and his minions. Regardless of the outcome of the next election, the last and greatest hope of humanity, the United States of America, has been effectively overthrown by greedy and corrupt individuals and institutions which we, as citizens, have tolerated for too long. Still, we have opportunities never before enjoyed by the billions who have preceded us on the mortal stage. We, as Americans, still have the power to act and the information technology (for now) to unite us in purpose. For those, like myself, who once lamented the inability to respond to the challenges that our fathers and grandfathers faced so heroically in their respective generations, this moment in history has delivered our chance to engage ourselves in a mission of near earth-shattering scope and scale. This is not a battle to return territory or restore freedom to those afflicted by common tyrants. This is perhaps the final phase of the conflict of truth and principle versus deceit and error; the culmination of the battle that began before the world was. We are privileged to participate.
If you are frightened by this scenario, you should be. Check your convictions and ask yourself \”Whose side am I on?\”. That should help.
Now is not the time to panic but it is the time to prepare. It doesn\’t take a universal calamity to necessitate the use of the items noted above but when you really need them, you will want them to be readily available. Isn\’t it better to be safe than sorry?
