Be Prepared for the Worst, opinion piece excerpt from Ron Paul (Forbes 11.16.09)

"A false recovery is under way. I am reminded of the outlook in 1930, when the experts were certain that the worst of the Depression was over and that recovery was just around the corner. The economy and stock market seemed to be recovering, and there was optimism that the recession, like many of those before it, would be over in a year or less. Instead, the interventionist policies of Hoover and Roosevelt caused the Depression to worsen, and the Dow Jones industrial average did not recover to 1929 levels until 1954. I fear our stimulus and bailout programs have already done too much to prevent the economy from recovering in a natural manner and will result in yet another asset bubble."

Four years ago, I thought Ron Paul was crazy. However, everyday as our National debt increases, the Fed usurps more power, and our corrupt politicians deliberately desecrate the U.S. Constitution, and more "entitlement" programs are forced upon us, it is clear that our nation is on a path to ruin.

Nice. Welcome to Nazi Germany.

Child molesters and rapists usually serve less then 3 years, but we are going to put people in jail for not buying health insurance? Does anyone see something wrong with this? How much government control of your life do you want. Soon they will be telling you when to go to bed, what not to eat, what not to drink ... and if you disagree - off to the gulags with you!

Stock up now, it is only a matter of time....

Will it happen tommorrow, in 2012 as predicted by the ancient mayans, or is it happening now? You need to be prepared. Swine flu, alien invasion (from outerspace, or maybe from the "undocumented" workers too..), political and economic upheaval, civil uprising...are you prepared you for what's ahead. Are you ready?

Survival against Darth Vader's Imperial Troops, or maybe just economic and social Armageddon!

Are you prepared for the end of the world (as you know it)? You will need shelter, water, fire, and food. Do you have the knowledge of foraging for food, combat and wilderness first aid, creating impromptu tools, weapons and shelters? With the right gear and supplies you may have a chance to survive indefinitely in the wilderness or in a ravaged urban city center. Good luck, vaya con dios!
