Unfortunately I don't have time to watch these videos and listen to people rambling on for 30-40 minutes but I believe if people were self reliant and prepared for emergencies then they would not be at the mercy of the government or any other group who do not have their best interests at heart. No one can ever be 100% prepared, and even if you are it may not matter (think Dominica) but I firmly believe that everyone can do something toward being prepared and lessening their risk of being at the mercy of governments, looters, body snatchers, etc.
