I've been registered here since 2002, which is longer than just about everyone.
I have been debunking woo-woo crap from the first day I got here. Every time some bozo has said "
the shit's gonna hit the fan", I asked for evidence as to why they think it will and never got an answer.
Six months ago, I noticed some changes and bought a little mini-farm in Gila County, picking it because it was about an hour's drive from home, pretty remote, and had a good producing well.
Three months ago I pretty much liquidated my 401(k) and paid my bills. This week I am moving a lot of my special belongings up to the cabin. My kids are ready to leave college and slide up for an "extended vacation" at a moment's notice.
I eat woo-woos and conspiracy nuts for breakfast and I've been doing it for years. If I say that thre's a good possibility that the excrement is about to hit the air-handler, then either I'm as crazy as most of you or else I have managed to connect the dots that lots of you haven't.
I'd suggest you look at some of the postings by folks like Underground Dude, Omega, Geogal, Evil Twin, and others. Here's a good place to start:
Thread: Yo Omega Bug out gear prepared and have been stocking up for two years now. If DK is prepping to blow the hatch, I would suggest that you at least take notice and follow the links he gave you.
Many of us here, member and AC alike have recognized a pattern forming that told us something really bad was coming around the corner and posted innumerable threads about it. Those who are new to the forum that posted ridiculous replies ridiculing the posts etc, that's alright, we have all been there.

Older and wiser now and after years in this forum, you get pretty good at sorting out the bull quickly and effectively. Duncan should be able to draw Veterans benefits from this forum.
I am not saying you should agree with everything he says, but simply to pay attention to what he says and his reasoning behind it. Whether you agree with him or not, his perspectives may help you to develop your own on a much stronger foundation.
People can say whatever they want about Duncan, their entitled to their opinion, and yes he can really piss you off (I am no exception as when I first came in here, he did tick me off on several occasions), but he makes you think about, analyze and substantiate a situation rather than just running with the first news article you find. Perfect example of how easily moved the sheep are is the Duke LaCrosse case. People were hanging those guys before the trial even started. Many of us are
when we come in to this type of forum for the first time and the deprogramming process can be painful
Duncan makes you put together the evidence behind your post to validate your claims and sometimes that really ticks you off because you really want to believe what you are posting. Worst victims are the ac's that are new to the forum. I have been here a long time and when I first started coming I had a couple of sessions with Duncan and he really ticked me off. However, this forum needs people like him and should he challenge you on something you will quickly learn how many holes your argument holds if you are not prepared to back up your claims. However, just because he may not agree with you does not necessarily mean your wrong either. None of us has all the answers, but as a group, the collective knowledge in this forum is a terrific tool if you use it the right way.
If you are new here don't take things too personally, especially if one of the veterans (Trin, SHR, Omega, Traveler, Mr Obvious, Evil Twin etc) in here challenges your way of thinking. It may be the best thing that ever happens to you, even if you do not agree with them...
