Ep 135: From the Desk of Engineer Ray (My Dad)

It’s been about a hundred days since I last talked to you…

  • Since then, the government spent an additional 300 billion dollars (conservatively) with no end in sight.
  • They broke all the laws in passing the Obamacare plan into law, and the Supreme Court let them get away with it.
  • Unemployment is much worse than the 8.2 % they say it is in Washington (It’s more like 12 percent and even that is probably low)
  • Every month, the government is taking more freedoms away from me.
  • Sixty years ago, the government worked for us; today, we work for the government (IRS)
  • I hope you realize that 16 TRILLION dollars is impossible to pay back.
  • Worse, with spending full steam ahead, the government has NO intention of paying it back.
  • By the way, there are more than 100 cities in the US that are deeply in debt and in danger of default/bankruptcy.
Ep 135_ From the Desk of Engineer Ray (My Dad)
  • What are you going to do about it?
  • I’ll tell you what I’m going to do about it: I’m getting prepared for the collapse.
  • Since the last time I talked with you, I’ve bought silver, stocked up (more) on my food supply, kept my big garden up, put in a giant propane gas tank for heating (I don’t need electricity to run it), and added more fruit trees and berry bushes.  We had a warm spell in March that brought out the blossoms too early.  A subsequent frost hurt this year’s crop.  I will still be able to get apples and pears in the fall.  Even with planting, you MUST DIVERSIFY.
  • I tell my children all the time: “Who can you trust?”
  • The answer : no one.
  • I live about 23 miles south of Pittsburgh.  They (the city) cut 272 teachers and are shutting down schools.  Why?  People with money and brains are moving out of the cities.  That’s NOT a new trend.  Are you moving in the right direction?
  • So, my advice to you is to prepare for the fall.
  • Get out of the cities.  Move out.  WAY OUT.
  • Stockpile food–at least a six-month supply of food.  Go to Costco, Sam’s Club, Aldi’s or any place that sells food on the cheap.  They sell in bulk, and you should buy products there that will last for years.
  • Have cash on-hand–Emergencies happen.  Save coins.  They will be worth more than paper and some are still mixed with silver or are are copper.  If you owed me ten dollars, do you think I’d want it in paper or coins?  You’d better believe I’d want coins.
  • Coins are also a good medium of exchange for bartering.  Silver purifies water.  Copper has many uses, as does nickel.  Did you know it costs the government more money to make a penny than it’s worth? The same is true for a nickel.  Guess what?  I save pennies and nickels.
  • I get a lot of mail from people who sell silver, gold, and bulk food.  One representative told me they’re SIX WEEKS BEHIND in production.  They simply can’t keep up.
  • That tells me that people are seeing the light…that we aren’t crazy…and there’s a silent majority of us  out there that see the handwriting on the wall, no matter how much the news media wants to ignore the truth.
  • Last but not least, the ultimate survival tool is God.  You know him?
