I been following Beck (as you may have guessed) well today he has Eric Boling and Charles Paine on the program. They are all talking about the violence spreading across the middle east and what it means to us. They layed out several ways the violence has started and will continue to effect our economy.
Glen asked them what do we do. I'm all about what do we do...
Eric Boeling says buy gold. Charles Paine says invest in coal.
Most of the people I know are living paycheck to paycheck.
They are getting deeper and deeper into debt every month just as it is. They have seen their investments (usually their home and a 401 k) shrink away to nothing. Who the hell has enough money to buy gold or buy coal futures? And If I did do that could I someday get the payoff from those things? would it be in dollars or Yuan?
Then Glen Beck wants us to have faith, I have faith.I know whatever happens is the part of a bigger plan but no one will fill my tank for a piece of my faith.
So what do you really do?

Get ready for America to change to the unimaginable.
It's coming Scott.
We (and every other nation) continue to run up debt to the point that there is no way to ever pay it back...ever. 14 TRILLION dollars of debt (not deficit) is just absolutely staggering.
Let's put that in perspective: if the US Govt paid $100 million per day towards that debt, it would take 383.5 years to pay it off. 383 years...and that is with no interest figured in there. To top it off, the debt grows by about $4 Billion per day. Imagine paying a dollar to your creidt card each day while adding $400 each day.
There is no way to ever get out of this debt. One economist said that the only way out is an across the board forgiveness of the majority or all of the debt for nations.
I really do not know what to do next. What I am afraid of is the light at the end of the tunnel is a freaking freight train headed our way.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
If you haven't yet, PREPARE.

I don't recommend that anyone watch Beck. That's what I really don't do. What I really do is have faith in God. Faith for the sake of faith, or faith in "whatever" is pretty useless.
Faith in Gawd and about $2.50, will get you a small cup of coffee at Starbuck's. [:X]
Just sayin.....[;)]
in this life perhaps.

Yep. He's not on the air to advise or inform. He's there to sell ads. No more, no less.

Glen and I have someting in common, we are both friendsof Dr. Bob (if you don't know what that means, have another drink and it will come to you)
A such, we are often have Obsessive compulsive personalities. I think If Beck wanted to, he could pull up just as many quotesand video images of people saying wonderful things about everything he finds most frightening concerning our current condition. In a different time, I might tell him to stop cherry picking scary stories. The kids will have nightmares!!
BUt I am firmly convinced he is telling the honesto god truth about what the bad guys in this world have in store for us.
I can't imagine any way a president and congress could behave this way because they really thought it would help especially considering what medic says (and we at least know that to be true)
SO the courage to accept the things I cannot change is what I have to pray for daily. It's obvious, whatever is coming is way above my paygrade and definatly nothing I can do anything to change or prevent.
All I can do is prepare the best way know how and wait til whatever happens, happens.
Let's see now ...
Our dear sweet old Lab-mix dog died last week. Kidney disease, the vet tried real hard to save her too. Sad days all around. Promised my kid I'd sort through all the old photos, find a good one to turn into a big print like on canvas. So I'm working on that, have several possibles.
And she's playing violin in her school Honors Orchestra next week, then the very next night is a school talent show. So it's busy busy on those!
I was telling her about typwriters recently. She's fascinated by the concept. There's an old one in a closet here still, Smith-Corona. Need to get that ready for her 12th birthday coming up. She loves mechanical stuff.
There's other things I'm doing that have to get wrapped up before this big Apocalypse deal. So until I'm done ya'll will need to wait on the Crash & Burn if you don't mind.
Oh, hold on, once we get done with all that there's Christmas to plan for ...
I'll have to get back to you on the whole Apocalypse Schedule thing. I'm sure I can come up with a date when we won't be busy.
Please stay on the line while I work the math on this ...
You buy all the gold you can get your hands on.
After your gold is gone and you get hungry enough. I may let you work for me as a slave.
Heck, if it truly is the End of the World As We Know It that ya'll are talking about here, a basement full of canned food would be vastly more valuable than stacks of gold bars and piles of Coal and Oil Futures.
I buy land, garden seed, preserving supplies and farming equipment.
You buy all the gold you can get your hands on.
After your gold is gone and you get hungry enough. I may let you work for me as a slave.
That's mighty white of you.
