I couldn't have said it better myself. A reader wrote in asking "What should I do?" and this is the response. Taken from "Urbansurvival.com":


 In no particular order? Dehypnotize from mainstream media. Downsize voluntarily.  Use your downsize as a tool to get out of debt.  Pay your credit card off so you don't pay banks interest.  Get 6-months to a year of money in the bank at a subsistence level - better: get it in gold.  Banks can close.  Move to a few acres if you can and put in a garden.  Grow food.  Have a well. You need to plan on being self-sufficient. Partner with neighbors. Demand Constitutional accountability.  Vote against American family dynasties, such as the Kennedy/Bush/Clinton, etc. clans and the liberty-stealing plans (like the North American Union) fomented by their minions.  Own a gun. Guns. A side arm, a long arm, a shot gun.)  Have ammo. Take gun safety courses.  Shoot regularly.  Spend time with your kids.  Get a ham radio license - no code required now -  ditch the cell phone. Don't eat GM foods.  Get/grow heritage seeds. Keep organic wherever possible. Cut out unnecessary monthly recurrent bills. Have one parent in the home when kids are of school age.  Build a shop.  Own a generator.  Read books.  Learn new skills constantly. Own your life.

Yes, all that stuff is while you're not praying -- or WHILE you're praying.

Most garden work is not like computer work -- i.e., it leaves your mind free to contemplate the higher things.

That is why farmers are down-to-earth and have much common sense -- they have so much time to think.

But also I would cross out some of the things on his list (e.g., the items relating to "activism") and replace them with "say some prayers". Activism is a waste of time.

...Many of our own troops would be too hesitant to hurt us...

I have my doubts about this one, as they are heavily brainwashed and in the heat of the moment most men are easily swept along by the current.
