The Blind, The Naïve, and The Willfully Ignorant
There is a potentially fatal flaw in the reasoning skills of most people. It’s called the Normalcy Bias. When something is too far outside of what is considered “normal” it is ignored. That’s a great automatic filter if what is being ignored is trivial or just flat wrong, but it can be deadly when there is an actual threat. The perfect example would be those who live on the slopes of an active volcano. From a distance, it’s easy to think those people are nuts. From their perspective though, the mountain just rumbles from time to time, but has never hurt anyone in their lifetime. Their normalcy bias prevents them from leaving even when the volcano erupts until it is too late.

It is a sad, but there are people out there who just never will be convinced, understand the importance of, or care enough to act on important information even when it means their very survival. You can’t expect everyone to see things your way, but when that person is a close friend or family member and the issue is of vital importance, it’s just heart breaking to think of a loved one paying the price down the road for their refusal to heed today’s warnings.

Please folks. Be aware of more than what is normal. Question why. Think critically and prepare yourselves for what is coming. Jesus did go to prepare a place for us and he is coming back again to take us there, but an awful lot of nastiness is going to hit a gigantic fan before we shuffle off this mortal coil. People who are your friends and family are trying to help you see what is coming. Please prepare.

The vast majority of people in our society today refuse to acknowledge reality. Whether it be our economy circling the drain, political corruption, our broken judicial system, corrupt law inforcement, race relations... the list goes on and on. The real doom is ALL OF THIS combined. Yet most refuse to see our world for what it truly is. Doesn't matter what evidence you provide... they will not accept it. They are being led to their doom by their destroyers.

When the cable goes off, the lights do not come on and the water no longer runs from the tap, most americans will rush to the FEMA camps to be taken care of. Self Reliance is dead, every aspect of society is controlled. The Government does not build building it never plans to use, nor do the buy millions of hollow point bullets they do not intend to fire. Wake up people or you will be caught with you pants down.
