Boy Scouts Prepare to be Prepared

Maybe we should learn something from the Boy Scouts. Back in the 1930's and 1940's people understood that they needed to be prepared to take care of themselves. They knew that it was up to them to make sure that their family was taken care of. If they needed help it would come from a neighbor, a friend, a relative or the church.

Let's see how far we've come. Now days our entire population has been educated to (falsely) think that the government is our friend or neighbor and will protect us and take care of us in the event of an emergency or catastrophe.

Wake up people - that isn't going to happen. We all need to get back to the basics and be prepared for hard times. That could come in the form of loosing a job (unemployment rates - the actual numbers are around 20%) or an earthquake or an economic collapse.

Gerald Celente, a top trends forecaster, has some good words of wisdom for being prepared.

Are you discerning the times? When hard times come - will you be ready? Or have you bought the lie that government is going to help you?
