For over 30 years I’ve been involved in survival and preparedness. Over all of this time, the world has ended at least a half-dozen times, or at least it was predicted to. The truth is people – including myself – are horrible at predicting the future as there are just far too many variables to consider to possibly be accurate. Myself? Yup. Guilty as charged. I’m going to give it another shot.
The country exited 2019 divided in many ways. While the election of Barrack Obama generated tremendous resentment and erected a wall between people – it was nothing compared to the election of Donald Trump. Trump Derangement Syndrome swept over the United States infecting citizens – especially at colleges and universities and large cities. The mainstream media pushed an agenda to spread this dreaded disease to as many possible. Many in Holywood became infected and used their influence to disseminate Trump Derangement Syndrome to as many people as possible.
There were millions who were immune. They had the ability to resist – to move on past the disease. These people all had something in common.
Sanity.
ENTER: 2020
So now we have “the most important election of our lifetime” on Tuesday, November 3rd. Is this next event going to come and go without any apocalyptic predictions coming true? Well, I suspect not. These times are unlike any other and the stage has been set, the fuse lit. No matter the outcome we are likely to see truly tumultuous events.
This begins an important series directly related to the upcoming Presential election. Please stay tuned.
How Did We Get Here?
Over the last several months America has experienced an unprecedented level of civil unrest in major cities across the nation. Much of this started with the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25th. This unfortunate event caused mass protests across the nation against police brutality and calling for the defunding of police departments. Protests soon turned into riots causing millions of dollars in damage to private businesses and city property. The Black Lives Matter(BLM) movement became energized gaining mass support from many across America.
Numerous other publicized police interactions leading to the death of Black suspects fueled the fire and rioting continued. Some cities actually voted to defund – or reduce the funding of police departments. The Antifa organization joined in with the protests often being the instigator to starting violence and destruction. Buildings were set on fire, Molotov cocktails thrown, and people attacked and beaten. Statues across the nation were destroyed as rioters claimed they were racists symbols. In many of these Democrat-run cities, the Mayors ordered the police to stand down and allow rioters to destroy and conduct violent outbursts.
The Trump administration requested that the governors of the states where the violence was occurring to take action. In some cases, the National Guard was sent in and violence was squashed. In others – the rioting was largely allowed to occur. In many cases, Liberal politicians promoted the “understanding” of those rioting and suggested we need to “understand” them and allow them to vent and relieve stress.
In Seattle, Washington on June 8th a group of anarchist rioters took over several blocks and called the area CHAZ(Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone). This “autonomous” zone was created after a week’s worth of conflict between rioters, protestors, and police. This included a situation where a car drove in a crowd of protestors and as they worked to pull the driver out of the car he shot one of the rioters. After police continued to use tear gas and pepper spray against rioters – the mayor ordered the police to NOT use tear gas. The rioters then ramped up their violence and drove police from the area. Those occupying the area were aligned with the BLM movement and Antifa. While those who organized the area predicted an existence of peace and tranquility due to the absence of government and police – quite the opposite occurred. Many injuries, rapes, and several deaths occurred within the autonomous zone. On July 1st after another death, the Mayor finally ordered the police to clear the area.
Over time the mainstream media continued to push the BLM agenda. They broadcasted video after video of the George Floyd event as well as others supposedly showing police mistreating blacks due to the color of their skin. They broadcasted interview after interview of friends and family of those ion the video talking about how wonderful a person they were -despite the evidence to the contrary. Hour after hour, channel after channel – the media continued to condition the populace to believe that systemic racism was rooted in this country and that merely being white was associated with guilt. They also connected President Trump with racism….time and time again as they have since his election. This continued despite evidence to the contrary since his election.
While areas such as Portland, Oregon had over 100 nights of protests and rioting – lesser known more isolated events occurred all over the country. In almost every case white people were targeted by black people – or other races in the guise of the BLM movement. Antifa also participated in the violence targeting those who stood in support of police and America. This targeting resulted in injury, destruction of property – and sometimes death. In Wilson, NC a black man walked out of his house and up to his 5-year-old white neighbor and shot him in the head. It’s reported he did this in support of BLM.
Blocking traffic, harassing anyone who seemed to be the opposition, and demanding those they confronted state loyalty to the BLM movement – or suffer the consequences.
An armed black militia in Georgia has made its existence known and stopped vehicles demanding reparations. They have continued to make incredible demands including their need for land which to establish their own country of only black people. They continue to threaten violence and make appearances fully armed.
As of this writing, white people are being targeted in major cities all over the country because of the color of there skin, or because they are Trump supporters. Crowds of BLM have entered businesses demanding people raise their fist in solidarity with BLM – or they are harassed – or worst. A large percentage of the US population is supporting BLM.
I could go on and on. No doubt you’ve seen and heard of the craziness.
While Liberal politicians have sided with the Marxist BLM group – many businesses and professional sports teams have as well. So far it appears that consumers are striking back and not supporting such a movement as ratings are well below normal.
Over the last several months gun sales have reached unheard of levels and ammunition is sold out almost everywhere. People are concerned about crimewaves – and civil war. Many of these sales are going to first-time gun owners. Many of these reside on the Left of the political spectrum.
Note: It is important to realize that the vast majority of these events are taking place in large cities run by Liberal mayors.
Current Situation
As of the third week of September and approx 6 weeks away from the election we are finding ourselves in unprecedented times. Over the past several months dealing with a deadly pandemic, along with some of the worst rioting and race relations this country has ever seen – the country remains deeply divided. Every conceivable issue is being politicized and friends and families are finding themselves on opposite ends of issues.
- Supreme Court: The death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg has created a tornado of activity. With President Trump getting ready to nominate another Supreme Court Justice the Left is going completely insane. Nancy Pelosi is threatening impeachment should Trump move forward with a nomination.
- COVID: There continue to be massive differences in opinion on how COVID should be handled both now – and in the past. Monday Morning Quarterbacking is taking place by those on the Left as they dissect and pick apart every action of the Trump Administration’s handling of the pandemic.
- Voting: Due to the pandemic the Left is pushing vote-by-mail for the upcoming election. Regardless of the fact people can go walk into a liquor store or go to Walmart, they are suggesting it is simply too dangerous to go to a voting booth. Substantial evidence suggests that voting by mail will lead to a large delay in determining the results. Additional evidence shows that there is a chance for significant voter fraud.
- Conceding the Election: Hillary Clinton stated: “Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances, because I think this is going to drag out, and eventually I do believe he will win if we don’t give an inch, and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is”. The Left is preparing to challenge the election should Trump win.
- Lies: Joe Biden recently came out and said that if President Trump had performed his job as he should have – not one single person would have died from COVID-19. Not one single person. The MSM and the Left is relentlessly spreading propaganda in an effort to convince voters to vote against Trump.
- 2nd Amendment: Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have made it no secret they will be going after the NRA and gun rights when they win the election. This is an admitted priority.
- Biden: Biden continues to show that due to his declining health condition he will never complete a 4-year term. This means a Harris Administration. Based on her consistent radical belief’s a fundamental change to the country is what’s in order.
- Violence: While protests and rioting have decreased in most areas, the smallest negative interaction between police and anyone black generates outrage.
Tension is high as well as the stakes. Everyone is on edge. Politicians in Washington are fighting amongst themselves and it is evident that everyone has an agenda. As each day passes the pressure mounts and the tension thickens. People are worried about what will happen as a result of the election and the uncertainty is maddening for many.
This is where we are. Propaganda is being broadcasted by all sides and it is a waiting game. We are unlikely to see a winner on November 3rd. What might happen? Stay tuned for Part #2 as we explore the possibilities.
