1. And sadly by 2024 many of us on the right will have passed away and many more young people will have been brainwashed by our universities. We may not win in 2020 and we will be far outnumbered in 2024.

   1. Nobody who is running, or will run, in 2020 is on your side. The ‘we’ to which you refer is a fiction.

      1. @ Fred. I know you’re right brother. That’s why I prepare.

      2. But for now Im with Trump That’s my “we”

2. As a start, how about impeaching Pelosi/Schumer, and encouraging the rest of the deadbeat politicians to finally get to work and try and get some of these problems solved.

3. Watch the obviously fake economic reports: inflation, employment, job creation, housing that have been manipulated since 1980 to give TPTB a false narrative to feed the less informed. Watch the stock market for a continued “melt up” to take more real assets before repeated “pump and dump” steals anything left.

4. Always find news / financial articles dubious at best whenever they slip in the “democrats will win the next election ”

   Ann Coulter is banging this drum and have written her off . Just like Glenn Beck they talk a good game then decloak as a ” Never Trumper ”

   Come here for my Doom Porn just like everybody else. Just wish the charlatans would keep their political opinions to themselves.

5. I don’t know who to believe any more. All I can do is vote, hope for the best and prepare as best I can. The world seems to have just gone crazy.

   1. JED, amen!!

   2. @Jed,

      Yep, pretty much the best route to take. Heed advice, while keeping your own finger to the wind and make your own educated decisions. Keep stocked on necessary tangibles, while continuing to save money for the future. PMs, cash, stocks, whatever…all in moderation and spread out (not all eggs in one basket). Trust in God, enjoy your family and friends, drink out of cups that are half full, not half empty. Etc., etc.

      “The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down.” (Prov 21:20)
      “Who of you by worrying can add a single day to your life?” (Matt 6:27)

      1. Yes, Guesty, I agree. Family and friends will help us get through hard times more than any Gov’t agency.

         Those who contribute to our community and accept the generosity of others are in good shape no matter what “They” do.

         Carry on

   3. Jed, unfortunately there is nobody in D.C. that we can believe anymore. The swamp will remain a swamp and we the folks are being fed just enough propaganda to keep us divided and angry. I think the confusion and bitterness that prevail today are by design, we the sheep are being led over the cliff. I’ve been around a while, never been more cynical and distrustful in all my days. Come the next election, I will most likely have no good choice for my vote, they are all the same. Bottom line, we are being manipulated and deceived by false prophets, there are no good answers other than to put our trust completely in the Lord. This world has no answers, chaos is coming, and in my heart I am secure, God will prevail.

6. Politics will always influence the credibility of a monetary system. There’s no reason to think the U.S. monetary system will react differently, when compared to other economies, as this is a phenomenon of government. I believe one can expect a lot of grief when the system collapses simply because regime change will be the priority. You will eat or starve depending upon your own planning.

7. A bunch of random, dated facts of all time highs and lows are somewhat meaningless and should not be used to draw conclusions. The debt bubble might put us into recession but as long as people keep working there is hope. I also agree with Jed, vote for a third party to break the Washington deadlock, hope for the best and prepare for the worse.

8. I must say that I do believe in my lifetime things will get harder and possibly depression like in the future but I believe we have a ways to go for the simple fact there can be an immense amount of stimulation by the government infused into the economy the problem is our mindset as conservatives in that though we would not condone bail out practices and we tend to look at things through the lense of reason, reason simply does not apply to the government and so we base our assumptions upon that reason and fail in our beliefs to understand why the government does not follow those same reasoned approaches. A 2 trillion infrastructure plan alone would kick the can down the road for another couple years at the very least regardless of how we pay for it.

9. The Leftists are planning on killing you. They want you dead. If you really want to save your country there is only one question left to ask; who do we have to end to make this stop? All else is purely intellectual self-deception.

10. Ok folks, we can bitch all we want on this blog, but until we get off our collective bums and DO something positive to restore our nation not a thing will stop the train wreck.

    WE THE PEOPLE are the ordinating authority in this Republic, maybe we should start thinking and acting like it. The government from either party or what ever ilk the far left may be is never going to fix itself; its our sacred duty to do that.
    Take a hard look at this website, then get involved. Stop talking and start doing. I am deeply involved in tis effort, so get busy and lets drain the swamp ourselves and not look for some one else or some party to do it:

    1. You are singing my song, LTMike. As the saying goes: Action Energizes… Get busy.

       Carry on

       1. Thank you, Semper Fi marine.

11. Israel became a nation in 1948 and that generation is to see the second coming. A generation is 70 or 80 years Biblically. 2018-2028 appears to be quite accurate. 2020 is perfect sight, perfect hindsight………things are about to get very real. All of the above will certainly play into the Great Tribulation that is upon us. Bible thumper, you bet, realist as well. The world is rumored to be setting up for a heck of a military conflict. Prep and pray, as always. Smoke em if you got em.

12. Arg! I’ve been reading Survivalblog since it’s inception and do so get tired of “the sky is falling!” Guys, the sky already fell. Our “leaders” are mostly corrupt. The debt is historically high. The educational system is nothing more than an indoctrination center. Cultural divisions are worse than ever but not in the traditional sense. It’s now the Marxists/Globalists versus the EveryoneElse, which is worse than mere racial divides. Satan is alive and well. What are we to do? Keep marching on. Be in prayer. Ignore the attempts to take away our 2A rights at all costs. Continue with self-sustainability efforts. The people who are at risk are buried in debt, rely on a corporate job with no backup skills nor Plan ABCD, heavily invested in the stock market rather than tangibles. IF the stock market tanked tomorrow, IF the housing market tanked the day after, this shouldn’t affect a Survivalist. I apologize for my frustration friends. My eyes glaze over and I “Skip” past these articles. Maybe I am weary of #ImpendingDoom! #GlobalReset! I would love to read articles focused on the amazing freedom we do have in America and how that plays out moment by moment, day by day. I’m not asking for unicorns and lollipops. Just positive, inspirational accomplishments, that are practical (mostly what this blog has focused on). Maybe I should be quiet and write an article. LOL.

    1. I totally agree Gramma. I just had to pick a side to vote for and it wasn’t going to be the left. Im just hoping and praying and becoming more self sufficient. Thank you for your words.
