THIS IS WAR!!!!!!
[link to www.youtube.com]

Can you feel it? In your cars, driving, standing in the lines in the store, do you wonder? Do you feel it as I do, so thick you can cut the air with a knife. The conversations in the booth behind you in the restaurant. The quaint, humble looking people. Then you key into the conversation. They are talking about taking gun classes, about "Betty" at church, everyone is using her gun. Talk of buying guns. Do you look at your fellow American's, once passed with a comment of the weather, or current local events, now being sized up as "survivors" or "casualties"?

Victims of crimes in this country, are placed at the front, or the end of the train of justice, based on the social placement of the crime in relevance to elections.

Mother's, Father's, blue collar workers, fight the winter's sick... sometimes even wondering if they will make it through... unable to see a doctor in America, because they cannot afford to. What costs a pharmacy cents, we are charged hundreds. We watch our health crumble and worry for nothing other than how to "fund" the "establishment"

You force place so many costs on us, we feel we'll surely crumble at the end of each day. You drive wedges between our family bonds because we cannot rest. We have to pay others to raise our children, so we can fund your wars. Still we get nothing. Higher taxes to build things no one really needs.

You allow mortgage companies in control of where we live. In charge of our American DREAM. You allow them to send us letters in demand of ... force placed insurances... escrow... at will. Driving up our balances where our homes become out of reach, and still... we fight on.

You... you have taken so many of our freedom's away so slowly that we haven't really noticed.

You... you have kept us so confused, we really didn't understand the play unfolding behind the curtain.

You... you have watched us scramble... trying to hold on.

You... you have sat in the security that we provide you. Through the labor, the sweat, the blood, the tears. You have reaped the benefit.

You... you have committed attrocities in our names. Lying to justify them. In the name of our father's, and our son's. You... you think that we take that lightly, that it is just a "acceptable casualty".

You undermind the substance of our worth. You underestimate the love for our children, for our land, for our lives. You mistake our kindness and fogiveness for ignorance.

I sit here on the eve of the unknown. Never before has there been so much unknown. My head feels like it's swimming. Like a newborn, opening new eyes for the first time. I see you. You, are truly the reaper, the harvestor of souls.

You take this as a warning, and you'd better hear me. In the hearts of American's right now, you'd better believe... exsits all the pain you have brought us. It's here. The confusion is clearing. Pandora has opened her box, and has given a gift of clarity to the people, along with your crisis of convenience.

You see... you have confused the people with the friendly old codger that forever has the giving heart. The friend, that everyone makes fun of for endlessly giving and believing in you. You can take all we have, but as long as the light remains in the eyes of our children, we will continue. We will fight, for at the end of the day, to sit next to that soft, tiny body... that our GOD has trusted in us to keep safe, for that, we will not give up. We will sustain all of your slow killing tortures.

Take that away. Make us look into the eyes of our children with doubt. They sit in the homes we have worked so hard to provide and keep them, they feel fear. We can not allow them to play in the rain, because we don't know if it is safe. You take our basic elements and place them in question. We as a nation, we are not afraid to lose our "way of life". Not really. We can live without your electricity, without your mass transit, without your wars. We were prepared for this. We cannot live with looking at our children coughing, and wondering if they are poisoned. We cannot look at our rain, and wonder if it's slowly killing us, or if you are slowly killing it. There comes a time where it becomes bigger than us. You violate the secrets of the universe, creating things like Haarp, Cern, you think we know so little. You are threatening our sun, our fellow celestial beings.

We can not look at our oldest ancestors of the ocean being killed. We cannot watch a corrupt company control our decision to life... to live... to knowledge and to safety.

We will not watch you steal our people away, hiding them from us. We will not watch you kill us and stand still. Once you take away everything, we have nothing left to believe in.

Once you take away everything we believed in, our children, our sun, our God, our ability to believe, then... then you have taken it all.

Standing here, on the edge of hope, on the edge of reason, I feel the soft kindness in my heart slipping away. I don't care if my curls are fixed, or my nails are done. I don't care if my make up in in place, or if anyone will still call me beautiful. I don't care about my car, or if it's clean. I don't care about my shoes and my bag. I don't care about age, or wrinkle cream. I feel the descension... but I still feel hope, and it is deeply fading.

Slipping away to anger and rage. We as a nation, and possibly as a world, stand here on the edge of reason, living sustained by the last shred of hope, waiting, waiting for darkness to fall. I feel myself turning.

Lead, Follow, OR GET OUT OF THE WAY! Don't let the descension swallow the hope in the hearts of our people, for this... THIS IS WAR!

Yes. I know the feeling. Last night, standing in line at the gas station, there was a large woman in front of me. For the first time, the first thought wasn't that she was overweight. I thought, "she'll never be able to run, to hide, or to keep up much of a pace". The only people I noticed yesterday at all that were not completely overtaken by the seriousness of our situation, were in their early 20's. I felt genuine envy for them.

No, I was more or less given the alternative to leave... alone. I cannot bare the thought of leaving my children behind. My husband is worried about leaving what we've built here. He is worried, but he's been so strong, he believes that the oil is not close enough. Over days, I'm explaining it to him. For some, it takes longer in others. It's like asking him to believe in the unknown.

My little one is better, the vomiting has stopped. We have been pounded by recent rains for days. I'm afraid to let the boys get wet in the rain. I screamed at them the other day, for playing in a puddle. They all looked at me like I was mad. I felt awful, but I still made them come in for a movie. At least I can still offer that. I am watching everything very carefully. My family in the east are waiting for me. They are many, and they are also watching. I do hope that I will be ok, that I will make it to the east. Some laugh, it's not funny. It's very serious. I do have a plan... that's better than most. There is no reason for me to go alone. I would rather stay and die, than hear that all is lost through a news broadcast. Without my children, I have no reason to exist... so I continue to try to convince him to go, or to let us go.

Haha! He's never laid a hand on me in 15 years. We met very young, and have built everything we have... together. I trust him with my life. I'm the one that's the dreamer, he's the one that's the provider. The ends of the earth wouldn't stop him from finding me, and the hurt it would cause him if I ran away from him, I cannot imagine. God is giving me the quickening for a reason. It's not to be lost... this I have to believe. He is very perceptive. Always has seen and forewarned danger prior to the event. Every time he's warned, it's happened. I believe that he will feel it when it's time.

My auntie who helped raised me passed away last night. My family is very scared for me, begging me to do as you say. I just have to hope, that we will leave in time.

Totaly 100% agreed! No meds here either for any of us thankfully! Ive never really trusted chemicals since we as a species made it this far without them! I have a close friend who is insulin dependant , and I asked him the other day if his had to be refrigerated or if he could get some sort of pill form and stockpile it ? He said " nahh I got the cold sutff for an extra week.." , I asked him how he planned on keeping it cold with no electricity? He said "it would be fine for the drive up to dothan.." and if he watched his food carefully he could go a day or so without it ....

No concept of the fact that the collapse of society here in the USA would mean his death....

He is worried, but he's been so strong, he believes that the oil is not close enough. Over days, I'm explaining it to him. For some, it takes longer in others. It's like asking him to believe in the unknown.

My little one is better, the vomiting has stopped. We have been pounded by recent rains for days. I'm afraid to let the boys get wet in the rain. I screamed at them the other day, for playing in a puddle. They all looked at me like I was mad. I felt awful, but I still made them come in for a movie. At least I can still offer that. I am watching everything very carefully. My family in the east are waiting for me. They are many, and they are also watching. I do hope that I will be ok, that I will make it to the east. Some laugh, it's not funny. It's very serious. I do have a plan... that's better than most. There is no reason for me to go alone. I would rather stay and die, than hear that all is lost through a news broadcast. Without my children, I have no reason to exist... so I continue to try to convince him to go, or to let us go.

plan quietly
I realize he is probbaly a great father and partner, but just like a woman who still loves the man who hits her , sometimes for the sake of the kids you have to run away,
Pack on laundry day , wait a few extra days let the dirty laundry pile up , get yoru hands on a bank card, do extra grocery shopping , tell him your stocking up since yall are staying , wait for him to go to work ( or sleep , slip him a xanax in his dinner) grab the kids and the car and all teh dirty laundry and food and RUN !



Haha! He's never laid a hand on me in 15 years. We met very young, and have built everything we have... together. I trust him with my life. I'm the one that's the dreamer, he's the one that's the provider. The ends of the earth wouldn't stop him from finding me, and the hurt it would cause him if I ran away from him, I cannot imagine. God is giving me the quickening for a reason. It's not to be lost... this I have to believe. He is very perceptive. Always has seen and forewarned danger prior to the event. Every time he's warned, it's happened. I believe that he will feel it when it's time.

My auntie who helped raised me passed away last night. My family is very scared for me, begging me to do as you say. I just have to hope, that we will leave in time.



reread what you wrote hun, you are putting your children in jeopardy to spare your husband pain.... Is that a choice you are aware of making or one you arnt thinking about?


Probably a little of both. (hangs head in shame)

Re: THIS IS WAR!!!!!!
You have been given 'LIBERTY' not 'FREEDOM'.
Your french lady is called 'STATUE OF LIBERTY' not 'STATUE OF FREEDOM'.

A captain on a ship, or better say ARK, gives LIBERTY for
it's inhabitants. There is no true freedom.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1024055


There is true freedom. Of this I'm sure. Freedom allowed slaves to sing beautiful songs, that lasted the generations. Freedom allowed soldiers to be tortured for years and years, and still fight to live. Freedom allows those confined to wheelchairs to be some of the most positive people you could ever know, finding joys in the true values of life. Freedom my friend, freedom lies in the heart and in the mind... not on any ship or statue.

One thing is for certain, GLP will forever be in my heart. I have found more truth here than any one place, ever. The people here I have found, you, Watcher, TX Patriot, the man from OZ... even Doomatrix, not sure if I'm fond of her/him... but has made an impact, makes me think about things.... we'll see how that one pans out, I'm thinking Doom feels the same about me. :) You have all found a place in my heart... I worry about you in my little group of things I worry about. I feel your concern for me, and it makes me feel a little more protected at night, protection is more than guns and steel.

I am looking. I'm really having a difficult time. I feel like the time to go is getting close to passing. I don't think I can mentally stand staying much longer, it's very very difficult. I can feel the rubber bands stretching all around me, it's very disturbing.

Been watching this site and random posting for a long time. See, lost my fear, registered, that was huge for me... :) Keep praying for me, that "gradually" will be enough. And thank you... and ... I just have no desire to put on makeup. Very strange.

Re: THIS IS WAR!!!!!!
Good God, Jen. Your writing has moved me to tears.

Allow me to share this poem with you that it may bring you comfort and guidance.


Mother’s Evening Prayer - by Mary Baker Eddy

O gentle presence, peace and joy and power;
O Life divine, that owns each waiting hour,
Thou Love that guards the nestling's faltering flight!
Keep Thou my child on upward wing tonight.

Love is our refuge; only with mine eye
Can I behold the snare, the pit, the fall:
His habitation high is here, and nigh,
His arm encircles me, and mine, and all.

O make me glad for every scalding tear,
For hope deferred, ingratitude, disdain!
Wait, and love more for every hate, and fear
No ill, — since God is good, and loss is gain.

Beneath the shadow of His mighty wing;
In that sweet secret of the narrow way,
Seeking and finding, with the angels sing:
"Lo, I am with you alway," — watch and pray.

No snare, no fowler, pestilence or pain;
No night drops down upon the troubled breast,
When heaven's aftersmile earth's tear-drops gain,
And mother finds her home and heav'nly rest.

Re: THIS IS WAR!!!!!!
If your marriage is strong, and you believe your husband has your best interests at heart, then why second-guess him? Maybe it will be a timing issue, and when it happens you will see and understand why you had to wait. It is hard to know what the future will bring, but if your husband is not abusive and really does care about you guys, then I say keep everyone together.

My two cents.
