Now that the prospects of a second Obama administration are hitting home, the pace of a rapid deterioration are confronting all thinking Americans. The radical transformation that is centrally planned for the economy and authoritarianism administrated by the statists that are part of the most tyrannical regime in memory, is taking place before our eyes. Falling off the cliff is more like descending into the abyss of martial law contrived to eliminate the last remnants of independent citizens. Advocating for civil liberties is treated as a criminal act and the gun culture is looked upon as the preview of a terrorist cell.
Several decades ago, the label of being a survivalist painted a prepared person as odd if not deranged. Today the “prepper” is demeaned as an enemy of the state. The Obama dependency society demands that government is the dispenser of all wants and needs. The threat to the state from a prepared population has become a primary target of the New World Order minions.
So what is so perilous about the Prepper Nation? The overt resistance to arbitrary authority is a fear that any beholden bureaucrat abhors. Combating the grievous culture, which is the federal ruthless and tyrannical government, is a crucial concern of the beltway elitists. Thus, the prepared individual is a dangerous agonist that ignores, if not resists, the best-laid plans for a controlled society.
“In fact, it has been estimated that there are now approximately 3 million preppers in the United States alone. So now the mainstream media has decided that mocking the movement is the best strategy, and lots of “critics” and “skeptics” out there have picked up on this trend. Instead of addressing the very real issues that have caused millions of Americans to prepare for the worst, those criticizing the prepper movement attempt to put the focus on individual personalities. They try to find the strangest nutjobs they possibly can and then hold them up as “typical preppers”. The goal is to portray preppers as tinfoil hat wearing freaks that need to be locked up in the loony bin for their own personal safety and for the good of society.”
The mainstream mass media is a state endorsed first account of history writing and propaganda machine. Entertainment is now defined as a process to marginalize any movement that seeks to deal with fundamental problems in a common sense response.
“The National Geographic program Doomsday Preppers also has had a lot to do with the demonization of preppers – it’s a full-court press propaganda attack against preppers. The program finds the most outrageous examples of preparedness possible and edits to make them look foolish. An article on the American Preppers Network explains the modus operandi:
The show severely skews Preppers in an effort that can be summed up as “making good television”. This is evident not only through viewing the show itself, but through the format they have built the show around.”
Regardless of the scenario being prepared makes sense from the stand point of surviving uncertain economic trends as well as global fuel cost. It was not too long ago our ancestors were still growing their own food and making do for them self, they did this since the dawn of time. Today we have lost sight of the practicality of self sufficiency.
The truth is that we have enough technologies at our advantage to do things better, to build a better energy efficient home, to make the most of home gardening. Yet people tend to stick to the old school way of building. There is no reason why someone can not have a warm home in the winter with the power out, if they have a well insulated home and make use of solar heating principles. But for the average person this makes no sense to them, they would rather waste their money on a home construction who’s cost to heat competes sometimes with their monthly home loan payment. Which is what happens in times of high fuel cost.
Furthermore the average person sees no reason to own a shortwave receiver to obtain alternative news and views, they do not understand the fun that such a receiver provides. But more than anything it is the uncensored media and the work done by alternative media broadcasters to sift through global news and the Internet so that we do not have to go searching for that stuff, since we can tune into it and know before anyone else whats up in this world.
