"We hope you are all aware that as the dollar falls inflation rises. That is because we don’t produce much anymore and as the dollar declines the cost of imported goods rises, including oil.

Based on nominal growth over the next ten years the CBO, the Congressional Budget Office, believes that GDP will grow 50%. There is not a chance that will happen. In fact, we could have no growth over that period. Yet, the proposed administration plan is to increase spending 50%. This shows you the desperation and stupidity of what is going on in Washington. Their only plan is to inflate until the system collapses. The robust recovery will only bring our negative GDP down to even as the stimulus package spreads its benefits. That will be some feat with real U6 unemployment at 19.2% to 19.8%. These facts and government projections will sink not only the dollar, but also sink the entire economy. America is looking at deficits of more than $1 trillion a year as far as the eye can see. Doesn’t anyone understand the impact of such borrowing?" What foreigners can be stupid enough to lend to us unless yields are perhaps 15% on treasuries. That means the alternative is massive monetization and wild inflation."

President Obama was quoted on C-Span over the Memorial Day Weekend as saying, in effect, "We are broke"...really? But the way the country and the government are carrying on, it looks as though we have not a care in the world...that is if you are of the working class ilk...

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aKOzWiTDseUE had this to say,
"Earlier this month, the U.S. reported the first budget deficit for April in 26 years, with spending exceeding revenue by $20.9 billion, even though that’s the month when taxpayers have to stump up to the Internal Revenue Service and the government’s coffers should be overflowing. So far this fiscal year, the U.S. shortfall is $802.3 billion, more than five times the $153.5 billion gap in the year-earlier period.
Deathly Deficit

For the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, the Congressional Budget Office forecasts a record deficit of $1.75 trillion, almost four times the previous year’s $454.8 billion shortfall and about 13 percent of gross domestic product."

It appears that things are going to get a lot worse before it even has a chance to get better...perhaps, for the survival of you and your family, you need to make physical preparations...garden, non-perishable food, water, first aid, etc...please peruse this site and find very reputable companies that can help supply your need!

you must prepare for a worst case scenario..what is the harm? WAKE UP...and get ready...don't lose hope!

Survival Tip! Grow Potatoes In A Barrel

Now is the time to truly consider growing your own vegetables. But, what if you don't have a large plot to grow a garden? You can grow vegetables in an assortment of containers...buckets, recycled plant containers, old barrels, etc. One vegetable that is EASY to grow and delicious (once again, once you eat one of your own potatoes, you'll not want for the potatoes in the store!...TASTE is back!)is the potato. And, you can grow potatoes in a container...anything from a 1/2 barrel to a full 55 gallon barrel. Here are some tips to get you going:

Choose the size of container/s in which to grow your potatoes...it can be plastic, metal or wood.

Drill holes in the bottom of your container to allow for drainage. You may have to put a screen over the holes once they are drilled to prevent soil leakage, etc..depends on how big you drill the holes! The holes should be about 6 inches apart.

Set barrels on blocks, old pallets, or whatever, to ensure that there is good drainage. And make sure your barrels are in a spot that receives a good amount of sunshine.

Place some gravel in the bottom of the barrel...again, to help with drainage.

Put down at least six inches of clean soil, mixed with a good compost, sand and maybe some sawdust.

Now...plant your potatoes. To plant potatoes you must get "seed" potatoes from a garden supply store, nice neighbor (smile) or feed store...or online. Do not use the potatoes you buy from the store...they will not produce well even though the potatoes grow little "buds". Once you get your seed potatoes, cut the potato into halves or fourths, depending on the size of the potato. But, make sure you have at least 2 "eyes" in each piece of the potato. Allow your cut potatoes to rest for the night and let the cut edges dry a bit. Next morning, place the cut-side down in the dirt and the "eyes" looking up, and push the potato seed down so that the seed is just covered. Water gently. In a couple of days, your potatoes will start to sprout. Let your potatoes sprout about 2-4 inches...then cover the plant with more soil/compost/sand mixture and gently water. Continue this procedure until your barrel is full. Once you see your potatoes "blossom" you know you have succeeded. Then, let the plants die back. When you are ready to harvest, kick the barrel over, and gather your potatoes. Then, enjoy!

Big Earthquake Coming Sooner Than We Thought, Oregon Geologist Says
a tsunami from this quake could be 80-100 feet high in Oregon

How to prepare for the big one

Discuss: Sit down with your family and put together an emergency plan.

Build: Put together an emergency kit with nonperishable food, water, medical supplies, extra prescriptions, warm clothing and provisions if you need to leave your home. Arrange an out-of-state contact for everyone in case family members are separated.

Know: If you're on the coast, know where high ground is from home and places you frequent.

Drop, cover and hold: Practice dropping under a sturdy desk or table and hanging on; during a quake, you'll be less likely to be hurt by falling objects. If you can't get to furniture, go to a corner away from windows and cover your head.

Severe Texas Drought Threatens Coastal Wildlife

A severe drought gripping Texas is causing unusually salty conditions along the Gulf Coast, upsetting the region's ecological balance and threatening coastal wildlife including oysters, crabs and whooping cranes, the most endangered crane species.

The drought is one of the driest on record for Texas and is currently the worst in the U.S., which has seen persistent dry weather across several Western states, Florida and even Hawaii, according to academic and government monitors. The scarcity of rain has reduced fresh-water flow from rivers and streams into coastal marshes, estuaries and bays that normally dilute the salt content of water from the Gulf of Mexico
The coastal fishing industry also has been hit hard as salty conditions shrink populations of shellfish such as oysters and crabs.

Survival Tip: Don't Eat Pre-1985 Children's Books...

Hey! Did I get your attention? What does survival have to do with eating or not eating pre-1985 children's books...well, nothing really. But, hey, you don't have to worry about those hazardous, toxic, lead-filled-paged children's books any more! Why? Because these terrible books are outlawed...don't believe me...take a look how Big Brother is looking after your welfare so kids don't eat books. Ahh well, you're kids won't have any time to read any way, now that the GIVE ACT is being considered, and as of today, has been passed by the House of Representatives. The GIVE ACT, you ask...you know: Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act..the one that will mandate that your child do community service...hmmm...doesn't sound like service to me, rather it sounds like being in the service. Well, you go never mind anyway, since you as parents are losing your God Given Right to raise your child as you deem responsible, prudent and loving. Seems the U.N. thinks they know a better way to raise your child.
So, what does this have to do with survival? Do I really need to ask?

"We are Socialists Now"?????

If you haven't seen the Feb. 16, 2009 newstand addition of Newsweek, then you will not know what I am talking about. I am not a Socialist...are you? And what does socialism entail? What's in store for you, your loved ones, your future? Whether you believe it or not, there is something happening to our country...and it is time that you wake up. If you haven't seen the below video, I invite you to at least view it, then google it, then do some of your own research. But, in a nutshell, what does this boil down to for you and me? It's time to take control of your life, to make provisions for your family, and to stand firm to the "republic" for which it stands.....



PS: If you have followed this story, you know that Beck has backed off on his claim...is this part of "socialism" or "totalitarianism"? in motion?

The Best "Stimulus Plan"...Be Stimulated To Depend On Yourself For Survival

It's time, or past time, to start using your brain, see that you are being lied to, then make plans for the survival of your family. There are many articles and resources on this blog.
