Are you prepared for civil unrest?

One of several similar articles Ive read in the last year. People are smelling blood in the water.

WEBSTER GROVES, MO (KMOX) - A chain of three stores that sells survival food and gear reports a jump in sales to people who are getting prepared for the “possible collapse” of society.

“We had to order fifty cases of the meals ready to eat to keep up with the demand in the past three months,” said manager Steve Dorsey at Uncle Sam’s Safari Outfitters Inc. in Webster Groves. “That’s not normal. Usually we sell 20 to 30 cases in a whole year.”

Great quotes. I cannot agree with you more.

Thanks for posting the story and the links. When compared, the older quotes that I posted and the more recent ones that you posted mirror one another. This as they say is a clue. . .

It can't be! Janet said so. . .

“There is a perception that the border is worse now than it ever has been,” Napolitano said. “That is wrong. The border is better now than it ever has been.”

It’s also “wrong,” Napolitano said, that the drug-related violence in northern Mexico is spilling over into U.S. border cities. Violent crime rates in cities in the Southwest have stayed flat or fallen, she said.

Stangman, I will repost your post in HOP's thread in GD.

"First, I am instructing the Defense Ministry to immediately put the missile attack early warning radar station in Kaliningrad on combat alert. Second, protective cover of Russia's strategic nuclear weapons, will be reinforced as a priority measure under the programme to develop out air and space defenses. Third, the new strategic ballistic missiles commissioned by the Strategic Missile Forces and the Navy will be equipped with advanced missile defense penetration systems and new highly-effective warheads. Fourth, I have instructed the Armed Forces to draw up measures for disabling missile defense system data and guidance systems if need be... Fifth, if the above measures prove insufficient, the Russian Federation will deploy modern offensive weapon systems in the west and south of the country, ensuring our ability to take out any part of the US missile defense system, in Europe. One step in this process will be to deploy Iskander missiles in Kaliningrad Region.

While America is over indulging themselves with turkey and planning to stampede stores for overpriced shit from China, the Bear preps for war. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Most Americans thought process on economic disaster or war-"It cannot and will not happen". Because they have not experienced a disaster of the magnitude, they believe it cannot happen. Also, in order to accept the fact that a certain disaster may occur, one then must accept that certain preparations and mindsets need to be adopted. This changes their priorities. Denial is not a river in Egypt.


Normalcy Bias- The normalcy bias, or normality bias, refers to a mental state people enter when facing a disaster. It causes people to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster occurring and its possible effects. This often results in situations where people fail to adequately prepare for a disaster, and on a larger scale, the failure governments to include the populace in its disaster preparations. The assumption that is made in the case of the normalcy bias is that since a disaster never has occurred then it never will occur. It also results in the inability of people to cope with a disaster once it occurs. People with a normalcy bias have difficulties reacting to something they have not experienced before. People also tend to interpret warnings in the most optimistic way possible, seizing on any ambiguities to infer a less serious situation.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalcy_bias

100% spot on.

My grandfather is 93, he grew up during the Great Depression, and when he was in his early twenties a guy in a uniform pulled up next to him on the streets of Des Moines and told him, "Congratulations - you've just joined the United States Army". Soon after he found himself in WWII Europe. Few Americans alive today have experienced a financial collapse and global open war like the “greatest generation” did.

Until it happens to them, the majority of people will go about their daily lives like good little programmed sheep.

A few articles from zerohedge.com

A second one about the woman who pepper sprayed other shoppers at Wal Mart over an xbox.

A quote with the first article in mind:
Imagine how these same people might act in the event that they not only get no Xbox, but no food due to financial instability. Imagine a 200 pound spoiled toddler with an addiction to immediate gratification being told "you are owed nothing". The response would probably be similar to (or even worse than) a large portion of the American populace as featured in the videos below:

I'm concerned that this new generation will have to be the next "great generation". What and with the Euro taking a nosedive, China on the rise, the Russians locking and loading, and an nuclear Iran, we have enough problems abroad. That's not even mentioning the dangers we face domestically in terms of this OWS thing going violent, Soros/NWO following the collapse of the Euro, UN arms treaty, and the duly-elected-Fascist-in-Chief taking us over the cliff at 180 miles an hour.

I'm also concerned this generation won't step up to the task.

The 'Greatest Generation' are the ones who instituted most of the major "entitlement" programs we have today, and created the entitlement class.
