There simply comes a point in time in which the ignorant and presumptive are indeed officially screwed. I will say that we have not quite come to that point yet here in the U.S., but the window of opportunity for preparation is growing very narrow.<\/p>\n<p>As expected, U.S. stocks are now revealing the underlying instability of our economy, which has been festering for several years.\u00a0 Extreme volatility not seen since 2008\/2009 has returned, sometimes with 1000 point fluctuations positive and negative in the span of only a couple days.\u00a0 Current market tremors are beginning to resemble the EKG of a patient suffering a heart attack.<\/p>\n<p>Stocks are a trailing indicator, meaning that when an equities crash finally becomes visible to the mainstream public, it indicates that the economic fundamentals have been broken beyond repair for quite a while. What does this mean for those people who prefer to protect themselves and their families rather than wait to be drowned like lemmings in a deluge? It means they are lucky if they have more than a few months to put their house in order.<\/p>\n<p>The process of crisis preparedness is not as simple as going on a gear-buying bonanza or making a few extra trips to Costco. That is better than nothing; but really, it\u2019s a form of half-assed prepping that creates more of an illusion of survivabilty rather than providing ample security in the event that financial systems malfunction.<\/p>\n<p>Much of what\u2019s listed in this article will include training and infrastructure goals far beyond the usual standards of beans, bullets and Band-Aids.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Economic Crisis: How You Can Prepare Over The Next Six Months I wouldn\u2019t say that it is \u201cnever too late\u201d to prepare for potential disaster because, obviously, the numerous economic and social catastrophes of the past have proven otherwise.
