Come on America WAKE UP

Prepare for the worst; hope for something that is not.

Life will NOT be like Little House on the Prairie; that was a time when America was rising.

People worked hard for their families. They thanked God for being their center in all they did and all they had. People knew if they worked hard, they could succeed.

Today, however hard work is punished. We have no real leaders standing up for good morals and values. People who have them are panicking. There may only a limited amount of time until America could see its own revolution, against itself.

But where do the lines get drawn? There are not two groups in America. We each live with different levels of morality and ideas. That is what is great about our country; we have the choice to believe what we want.

Isn’t it interesting, what made America great will ultimately take her down. Many Americans can see this collapse in our country; the end of everything we’ve known all our lives, our parents lives, and our grandparents lives. It is not just an economic collapse which our media has got to stop stressing. Our very country is on the verge of extinction.

Now what?

What can we do?

First, TURN OFF THE MEDIA. STOP LISTENING TO THEM! By doing this you will once again be on the path to leading your life and achieving your goals. Then when someone comes to take what you worked for away you will stand up.

Second, GET FOOD and STAPLES

Third, SILVER, Get silver, one handful per person in your family.

Fourth, You must prepare yourself mentally for life unknown. Keep God close and reach out to others.

UNITE for FREEDOM… COME ON AMERICA WAKE UP!!!!

There's a hole in my bucket

When you were a kid did your parents ever tell you “If it’s not yours don’t touch it.”?

Well that’s what I’m telling the government to do with our economy. When a child touches something and breaks it they have a tendency to try to fix it, but yet they break it more. Then the parent comes in, takes it away, and repairs it themselves. The 2 trillion dollars (after interest) worth of bailouts the government passed will just prolong the economic situation and destroy the fabric of our country.

Were does 2 trillion dollars come from? Well knowing that no countries truly want to lone the U.S. money anymore, and our government can’t tax 2 trillion dollars from the people, they will just have to print it – which will eventually cause immense inflation.

The reason the government cannot tax 2 trillion dollars from the American people is the revenue from taxes on an annual basis does not cover even 50% of our annual spending. By raising taxes the businesses, upper middle-class and the upper class, will actually reduce the economy further. Over taxing these groups will cause severe financial stress for them and will force many into bankruptcy.

The result of this forced stimulus will cause millions to lose their jobs and additionally makes it very hard to start a new business. The new laws and regulations strangle the American economy, killing America as we know it. It is the small and medium businesses and upper classes that provide and create the jobs for everyone else.

People across the nation voted for hope and change. They want their problems solved, they want someone to take responsibility and even pay for their situations. I agree someone has to take responsibility. However, looking towards the government is wrong. People have to take responsibility for themselves, period.

Looking at the ideas and quotes from our founders we read:

Ben Franklin: “I am for what doing good for the poor, but am at a different opinion of the means. The best thing we can do for the poor is Not make them easy in poverty. But leading or driving them out of it.”

Ben Franklin: “When people find a way to vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic.”

Thomas Jefferson: “The democracy will cease to exist when you are willing to take away from those who will work and give it to those who will not.”

It is important that we understand those quotes and educate ourselves. This bailout represents a direct contraction to what is good and strong. Creating a social economic destruction, our government leaders know exactly this. We need to remove parties, make tough choices, and lay the responsibility of life back into the hands of people.

Without withdrawing federal funds, we will enter a serious inflation. However, before this inflation we will enter deflation.

Deflation means nobody is spending money. So there are more goods in the market than there is money circulating. The prices drop, making our currency look strong.

When the currency looks strong and our economy looks healthier is when inflation enters.
With the dollar looking stronger people start spending. Where there was a surplus of goods now there is a surplus of money.

Prices must go up to balance the supply and demand. Just to clarify what inflation is… It’s when there is more money than products.

This is bad because if you have a dollar in the bank and prices of products double then your dollar is worth half of its original value. The government is printing so much money that we will enter hyperinflation which will make your dollar in the bank practically worthless; it could easily be that it takes $1000 to equal $100 in today's money.

Unfortunately, the dependency on the government to “fix” our problems has become so great that when hyperinflation hits the people will cry for help, again.

There are only two options at this point. Give up our freedoms that so many before us fought and died for – for the imagined comfort of socialism. Or, the government puts their hands in their pocket and says, America you are great and we believe in you, un-imaginable hard times have struck this country, We will do everything in our power to keep our lands out of enemy hands, and you have to face the day without welfare, without social spending, and you must find a way to work together on your own.

No longer will the pictures painted by Norman Rockwell represent the best of America, for that day has long since past. The United States Government isn’t strong enough to make the right choices and the American people aren’t properly educated, many of them are ignorant when it comes to a whole view; they just do not know better.

The simple answer is socialism. We as a society are too far away from ingenuity and problem solving that created the prosperity our country realized for so many years.

Americans need to wake up! We must stand together, untied and say to our governments (local and federal), “If it not yours, don’t touch it!”

Believe in America

As I pace back and forth in my living room, I feel trapped. My insides are begging for freedom like a tiger in his windowed cage.

On the other side of the glass I see the trainers tap and laugh at my desperation. Saying they know what is best for me. Throwing in a measured piece of meat when my hunger peaks, they tell me to calm down and not worry about a thing – they will do my hunting, they will run and jump and experience all life has to offer; feeding their own souls.

The economy. The government. The bailouts. How can we sit back and let others, who do not know us, live our lives? We’ve heard the banter back and forth; need the bailouts, don’t need the bailouts.

But what happens when we let the economy alone, placing it in the hands of the American citizens?

Ancestrally, we are people who give life their best shot. We worked. We worked hard for the people we loved. We worked for the things we had. Yes, some people had more than others did; some people struggled. That is how life works. It is up to us to find the best in our situation, whatever it may be.

Therefore, when we find ourselves out of one job, we need to turn off the negative noise, stop watching hours of TV and start living our lives. We are useful people. We are smart people. No one, ever, has been promised happiness. No one, ever, has been promised a paved road. It is the bumps, the gravel, and even the cliffs, that define who and what we are.

When businesses fail – the failure creates opportunity. Years ago, Mt. St. Helens erupted leaving the ground seemingly barren. It looked like a vast wasteland. …Death.

Isn’t it amazing the rebirth of life and beauty on that mountain? That is how our economy is. If we stop trying to force growth we may enter a period of barrenness. However, underneath this “barrenness” prosperity lies stirring and developing. Beauty will bloom with a new strength and vigor. It may look different but its creation the same.

We as a society need to prepare ourselves for this change and begin thinking of ways we can move forward.

Opportunity is out there. Remember a baby learning to walk, falls but doesn’t quit. If parents chose to carry their baby everywhere, so they didn't fall again, it retards their progress.

This is the same as our government giving the bailouts. It may hurt at first to trip but Americans are strong.

Believe in our Country. Believe in our founding principles. Believe in ourselves. We will develop our ideas, start businesses, and create jobs. Just whatever you do….. don’t quit!

The hot breakfast

Whatever happened to the old saying, “a chain is only as strong as its weakest link?” To me this is a profound statement today.

Listening to many people say their troubles are over, no longer will they have to pay their mortgage, go to work, and even worry about the doctor, sends chills up my young spine. There is a difference between encouraging someone to do their best and encouraging them to do nothing.

Most people are lazy by nature, it is much more comfortable to stay in bed with the covers pulled tight around your shoulders on cold winter days then to get out of bed, go outside and feed the animals.

Appreciation happens when you do the best you can.
When we are not pushed out of bed, we begin to view ourselves useless. What is the use of getting up? Everything will get done without me.

Imagine sleeping in one morning and your breakfast shows up at your bedside nice and hot. You like it and say, "thank you."

The following day you lay in bed hoping for breakfast, again it shows up, hot.

Then the next day however, the breakfast is cold cereal; this doesn’t match what you were expecting. You were in bed to stay warm and the cereal is cold, you give a sarcastic “Thanks”.

The next day it happens again but you smell bacon and eggs and hear laughter from the kitchen as everyone prepares to go out and work. You complain. “I want the hot breakfast, it is not fair, you don’t like me at all, your downstairs teasing me – that’s why your laughing.”
A hot breakfast is brought up.

That complaining worked.

You do it again until the people begin ignoring you.

You truly begin providing no value; however, you do not see that.

You force yourself out of bed, throw on a robe and go to the neighbors to tell them how misused you are. They feel bad and give you a breakfast.

This pattern repeats it’s self until those who work for their hot breakfast just shut the door.

Watching these people cry and whine because they believe our government will give them the eternal hot breakfast scares me.

It is in my nature to try, to work hard. I am not talented, I am dyslexic, My writing and spelling suffer tremendously, my math skills excel. I am not stupid. Because I do not math the school system – even the collegiate system, I understand my future is in my hands. I will have to create my job, my career. Like many other people with dyslexia had to do – Einstein by today’s teachings would not have been listened to at all!

In watching and hearing the cry for “hot breakfast”, I find a haunting question arise to the point of trying my best, “What is the use?”
AMERICA IT IS GREAT TO MAKE YOUR OWN BREAKFAST!
