With everything going on with the election this month, and all the terrifying news around the globe it seems to me that prepping has become more important than ever. It seems to me that regardless who gets elected this November that we are in a world of hurt.

With the U.S. right in the middle of everything going on around the globe including Russia, Iran, North Korea and even terrorism right in our backyard, it seems to me that something is likely to happen sooner rather than later.

My main reason for prepping has always been (and continues to be) an economic collapse. With that being said, a collapse would lead to many other disaster situations, or many other disaster situations could lead to an economic collapse.

In this week’s show we talked about how it looks like the table is being set for something major to happen, and how that could cause a chain reaction that could affect us in different ways.

SPP171 Is Prepping More Important That Ever Today

Let face it, we live in a completely different world than we lived in just 10 years ago. Terrorism has fundamentally changed, our economy is quickly going into the tank and countries that hate us are gaining power and creating alliances.

Here are a few topics we covered this week in the show…

A Country Divided

It’s becoming more evident in recent years that the divide and conquer plan set in place by our government is working to perfection. We are not just divided racially, we are divided economically, politically and idealistically to the point that we are in a no win situation.

It is virtually impossible to get anything done when people don’t agree, and they know that. Disagreement is one thing, that’s what our country is based on. When that disagreement gets to the point that one side or the other (or both) are unwilling to listen or have a discussion no one wins.

Economic Collapse

We already know that any day now our economy could come crashing down, or at the very least cause massive problems in our daily lives. Nothing that is happening, or will be happening is going to change the direction we are going. As a matter of fact, it seems that we are a roller coaster getting ready to go over the edge.

Even a small scale economic collapse could divide us further, and could lead to many other SHTF events, such as civil unrest & Martial Law. This is why I believe preparing for an economic collapse should be a top priority, and should include much more than buying gold and silver, and storing food.

War with Russia and Middle East

It seems as though we might be on the verge of world war 3. I know some people have been saying this for years, but if you think of it like a chess game it all makes sense. Different countries are creating alliances and are moving their pieces in order to claim checkmate.

Does this mean we need to prepare for a nuclear war? I’m not so sure about that, but I am also not willing to say it isn’t a possibility. Just because we as Americans understand how devastating it would be, doesn’t mean other countries share our view. Some sort of conflict could easily escalate into a nuclear conflict, because when you corner a wild animal they fight back by any means necessary.

Terrorism: Refugees & Open Boarders

Terrorism is no longer something we see on TV, ever since 9/11 the face of terrorism has changed. We are just beginning to see these acts of terrorism right in our back yards, and the more Syrian refugees coming in we are bound to see even more.

Not only will there be threats with the refugees coming in “legally” there is the issue of our completely porous borders. It’s not just an issue of illegal immigrants and drugs pouring over, it could be an easy access point for terrorists from anywhere on the globe.

I’m all for being compassionate about other people and helping whenever we can, but we need to take care of our people before we do. We have a crisis inside our country and we need to look there before we start looking outside our borders.

Martial Law

Back when I first started prepping I thought that Martial Law was an outrageous fear tactic that people like Alex Jones used to scare us. While this might be true, I have begun to realize how absolutely realistic it is.

If something were to get so out of hand that the powers that be couldn’t handle it, you can bet Martial Law would be enacted very quickly. This goes hand in hand with an economic collapse because people without money or food will do whatever it takes to survive.

We Are to Blame

As Americans we have the ability to change things, but we don’t. We sit back yelling at our TV’s, post meme’s on Facebook to show our frustration, but we never do anything about the situation. This is the exact reason they want us to be divided, could you imagine the headaches they would have if all of us were on the same page? Could you imagine if they had to actually do the job they were elected to do?

Yet every 2 years we fall prey to the same lies and rhetoric, and everything goes back to status quo. Americans are far to complaisant, and would rather pass the buck to our children, than face the problems head on.
