We are about to enter the decade of insanity, and our world will
never be the same.
In today's feature article, I discuss 10 things that are
completely false yet surprisingly widely accepted among millions of Americans
as being true.
How can society function when millions of its members believe
totally insane, crazy things that have no basis in reality? In truth, this
society won't function for much longer for precisely this reason.
As we head into 2020…Consider the following:
# Total corporate debt has now reached 47
percent of
U.S. GDP. That is the highest level in our history.
There are a multitude of
false assumptions out there on what the collapse of a nation or
"empire" looks like. Modern day Americans have never experienced this type of event,
only peripheral crises and crashes. Thanks to Hollywood, many in the public are
under the delusion that a collapse is an overnight affair. They think that such
a thing is impossible in their lifetimes, and if it did happen, it would happen
as it does in the movies — they would simply wake up one morning and find the
world on fire. Historically speaking, this is not how it works. The collapse of
empires is a process, not an event.
This is not to say that there are not moments of shock and awe;
there certainly are. As we witnessed during the Great Depression, or in 2008,
the system can only be propped up artificially for so long before the bubble
pops. In past instances of central bank intervention, the window for
manipulation is around 10 years between events, give or take a couple of years.
The modern
world has brought with it a wide range of conveniences that have made life much
easier for those fortunate enough to live in a wealthy country. However, these conveniences also mean that a majority of people
have forgotten skills that were once basic necessities for survival.
Now, in the event of a major collapse, there are a number of
skills that most people will need to relearn in order to survive. If you would
like to get a head start on mastering the skills you will need to know
following a major disaster, check out these basic skills that most people will
be forced to learn after the collapse.
1. Animal Husbandry -
Growing a garden is a great way to put food on the table, but if you want more
than a vegan diet, then animal husbandry is a skill that you will need to
know...
Having a
large food stockpile is one of the main goals of every prepper. Unfortunately,
many newbies think that all they have to do is run to the store and fill a cart
with canned foods. This is a costly mistake. You need to take some time to
figure out what foods to store and exactly how to store them.
Most of my readers already know the basics of emergency food
storage, but I also have quite a few readers who are just getting
started--people who have never used any food storage methods other than their
refrigerator. This guide is my attempt to help them get started, and it's also
a good refresher for more experienced preppers.
By the end of this guide, you will know the basics of food storage
so you can start stockpiling the right foods in the right places to ensure your
family has something to eat after a major disaster...
Yours in Freedom,

Yes, this is the most
obvious thing to buy at a drugstore, but it turns out you can get prescription
drugs for a less at big-box stores like Costco or Walmart, according to Consumer Reports. “Big-box stores such as Costco and Walmart
use the pharmacy as a traffic builder for their stores, whereas traditional
chain stores, such as CVS, Rite Aid, and Walgreens, make the majority of their
revenue and profits from the pharmacy,” Stephen W. Schondelmeyer, PhD, PharmD,
said. Check out these things you should always buy at big-box stores.

>Populism. War. Pollution. Since 2014, Bloomberg’s Pessimist’s
Guide has imagined a roadmap of the world’s coming worries. But this year, you
can open up the newspaper on any given day and get all the negative news you
need.
Are things really that bad?
We don’t think so. This year, we’ve decided to take a different approach.
Science, technology and changing social attitudes can plant the seeds for a
brighter world. So instead of looking at what could go wrong, we’re asking you
to look at what could go right.
Yes, it’s up to us to protect
ourselves, since there are no federal laws that actually do it. Europe has been
far ahead on privacy with its General Data Protection Regulation, but things
will finally start to change for Californians like me when the California
Consumer Privacy Act goes into effect next week.
“There is growing concern that after the 2020 election there could
be massive, long-lasting civil unrest if people say, ‘Hey, I don’t buy the new
president, I don’t recognize him or her,’” said Miller, who has added “civil
war” to his risk scenarios.
Skeptics said Fortitude Ranch
was preparing for catastrophic events that were unlikely and possibly not worth
surviving.
A Final Note…
Contributors and subscribers enable the Poor Man Survivor to post 150+ free essays annually. It is for this reason they are Heroes and Heroines of New Media. Without your financial support, the free content would disappear for the simple reason that I cannot keep body and soul together on my meager book sales & ecommerce alone.
