American Greed with be the Death of us all...

" The beast for me is greed. Whether you read Dante, Swift, or any of these guys, it always boils down to the same thing: the corruption of the soul."

Ben Nicholson

Dear America.... I want you to take step back and look at your actions on "Black Friday".

Can you see that your greed and desires for "stuff" and "things" caused you to hurt and maim people today?

I've hesitated in putting this post out just so I could calm down from the madness that was this last weekend, it was atrocious to watch Americas kick, punch and beat each other in the name of consumerism.

What disgusting behavior. If you are watching the video posted to the blog... you can hear the man's screams in pain as the hoard of people tramples him.

But the events of the past weekend further prove my point that because of the choices we are making, we are moving much, much more rapidly towards "The Event".

I think this is a a good time to go back and recap that "The Event" is not the "end times" or the "return of Christ."

It is a man made event that is triggered by man made events... we are the cause of "The Event".  It is our greed for money... our lust for war... our dissolution of our morality... and the destruction of our environment all in the name of comfort, and keeping up with what we see on MTV or the internet.

Greed is destroying us.  It is corrupting us from the inside out and we just let it happen.   Right now millions of Americans just spent millions of dollars on their credit cards.  52.4 Billion dollars was spent on "great deals".

Can you imagine how much 52.4 billion dollars is?

Why is it when we have record poverty .... and when the number of food stamp users exceeds the combined populations of Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming. Do we have people spending rediculas sums of money on non consumable goods?

We have lost our way!  It is scary to see how consumerism is driving the bus.  But even more than that... it is frightening to see that Americas would practically kill each other for a cheap cell phone or a cheap TV.

This proves my point.  People when given the opportunity and desperation is high enough for food and supplies will stop at nothing to get what they want. In the past I have compared people to Zombies.  I'm sorry ... I couldn't be more right on this point.

The hoards will do what it takes to accomplish this.

Right now in America one in four children are on food stamps... But what happens when the money runs out...

I have written about this before... do you remember this?

"It is the dead of winter.

Its dinner time, your kids come to you and ask, “Mom/Dad… what’s for dinner?” 

You panic.  Last night’s dinner finished up the rest of the oatmeal, and what was left of the fruit snacks… and that was the only meal they had all day.

You hope and pray as you head to your pantry… you open the doors… nothing… absolutely nothing. 

You turn around to see their little eyes staring back at you.   

You tell them, “I’m so sorry … we don’t have anything…”

You see their eyes well up with tears… and then the tears come.  You offer them some water… but that only goes so far.   

They cry for a while only to fall asleep in your arms from lack of energy and you cry yourself to sleep wondering,

“God… why is this happening…. What will I do tomorrow morning?" 

When the morning comes you have nothing for them.  Days go by and eventually their hair begins to thin and their teeth begin to fall out.  Their bellies become distended.  You do everything you can to find food.  Water is only going so far.  You beg, you dig in the snow till your hands are bloody.  You had a dog, but it disappeared weeks ago. It was one night ... then later you swore that you smelled cooking meat.

But time continues on an you find nothing... everyone else has had the same idea... there is nothing to be found... anywhere.

Then one night the unthinkable happens.  Your babies simply fall asleep crying from the pain in their tummies  and never wake up."

Do you not get it?  Do you not realize that "stuff" is just that... stuff!  The latest cell phone, xbox game, newest Lexus with Bluetooth navigation is just another thing you don't need and besides... they're electronic and can be damaged by an emp!

Your future is on the line America.  Your children's future is on the line.

I'm here to tell you the money is going to run out.  The Fed can only print so much, the Government can only lie so much to you before its too late.


Please watch this video ...these men are expert in their fields ... they don't want families to have suffer, they are trying to warn everyone that our "Event" is coming rapidly at us.

 

But here is an ugly truth.... we only have ourselves to blame.   We are too reliant on the Government for our handouts... and we spend every dime we have in search of the next item that will bring us happiness that we never take a moment to think..."How is what I am doing right now going to affect others?"

We fail to think about the long term consequences for our families and our children.

So America... think about this as you go into the rest of the holiday season ... what will the thousands you just spent gain you in the long run?  Will it feed your kids?  Will it protect them?

Or are you prepared to sacrifice them when "The Event" comes because you didn't prepare?

Until next time....
