On July 4, 1776, America’s Founding Fathers published in the Declaration of Independence that “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness…That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…”
America’s Founding Fathers were unified around the revolutionary truth that we live in a Universe and a world governed by “Nature’s God” and the “Laws of Nature.” That consciousness inspired a new society based on the idea that a Creator created all men equal and gave them unalienable rights such as “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” The Founding Fathers made it very clear that these unalienable rights were not given to men and women by any government, but by their Creator and thus since the government did not grant them, the government does not have the power to take them away.
The Founding Fathers very clearly established that these rights are to be protected by a form of government that is only legitimate to the degree that it derives its “just powers” from the “consent of the governed.” These were revolutionary ideas that were heavily influenced by the spiritual truth of the First Great Awakening and the consciousness that moved through the thirteen original colonies. In complete contrast, throughout history, most civilizations were built on the idea of the divine right of kings…kings who believed that as god-men they had the right to rule the masses as their subjects.
In other words, the masses were slaves who had no freedom or rights and belonged to a “collective” owned by the king. This began before Nimrod in Babylon and continued through the Pharaoh god-kings of Egypt, the god-kings of Greece and Rome, and throughout the histories of Europe, China and other regions of the world. The occult /scientific and religious system behind it stemmed from the “Babylonian Mystery Religion,” which claimed secret knowledge.

Why You Shouldn’t Wait for the Government To Save You After SHTF
Ayn Rand wrote in a January 1944 article in Reader’s Digest entitled “The Only Path to Tomorrow”:
“The greatest threat to mankind and civilization is the spread of the totalitarian philosophy. Its best ally is not the devotion of its followers but the confusion of its enemies. To fight it, we must understand it.
Totalitarianism is collectivism. Collectivism means the subjugation of the individual to a group — whether to a race, class or state does not matter. Collectivism holds that man must be chained to collective action and collective thought for the sake of what is called ‘the common good.’
Whatever the imperfections of her life and philosophy, Rand understood that totalitarianism or collectivism can only be achieved by maintaining the illusion of “the common good.” Today that “common good” would be called social justice. Rand writes “No tyrant has ever lasted long by force of arms alone. Men have been enslaved primarily by spiritual weapons. And the greatest of these is the collectivist doctrine that the supremacy of the state over the individual constitutes the common good.”

Ayn Rand, who escaped the Communist Revolution in Russia as a young girl, understood the value of “inalienable rights” expressed in the Declaration of Independence along with the importance of “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
Ayn Rand wrote “We must learn to reject as total evil the conception that the common good is served by the abolition of individual rights. General happiness cannot be created out of general suffering and self-immolation. The only happy society is one of the happy individuals…The power of society must always be limited by the basic, inalienable rights of the individual.”
The scientific elite uses powerful forms of occult-based mind control that cause people actually to want slavery. In 1962 Aldous Huxley gave a speech at the University of Berkeley where he said:
“There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will, in fact, have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution.”
It must be remembered the Aldous Huxley, a member of the globalist elite, was deeply involved in the promotion of psychedelic drugs and occult religions which he strategically promoted among the Hollywood community in the 1930s. Everything that we see now happening in America is the result of a carefully orchestrated and scientific plan to usher in America as a major power center of the new world order.
How Mind Control Provoked An Abandonment To Even The Basics For Self Preservation
People who are actually prepared for a disaster are few and far in between. Most people aren’t even ready for a minor disruption, let alone a major disaster, and they tend to look down their noses at preppers like a New York stockbroker judging the cast of Swamp People. However, history has shown that luck favors the prepared, and those who don’t prepare for an emergency will be kicking themselves when the SHTF. In the meantime, they’ll keep making excuses.
Nobody has to achieve the setup of Doomsday Preppers to be ready for a hurricane, and conversely, two weeks of food is better than none even in the event of a global-wide catastrophe. This should be obvious, yet most people still refuse to prepare for a disaster.
“Everything Will Be Fine”
The biggest factor in why people refuse to prepare is the normalcy bias. This psychological phenomenon describes people’s rationalization of a dangerous situation. Basically, people assume the best will happen because they do not want to think about uglier alternatives. The normalcy bias is a form of denial that protects the mind from anything too far from an established baseline of safety. However, it is dangerous to assume that times will continue to be good simply because they always have been. Every year, countless millions have their lives turned upside down by a disaster. Denying this fact won’t do you any good.

“The Odds Of a Disaster Are Too Small”
Many people explain away their refusal to prep by pointing out the long odds of a cataclysmic event occurring. They say that if such an event does happen, some power of destiny must have intervened to make it so. “If that happens, then it will just be my time to go,” they say. This is just an excuse to be lazy. If something bad does happen, chances are they’ll feel differently and won’t quietly succumb to their fate.
Low-Cost Root Cellar/Bunker
This guy did something very sharp and inventive: His cellar had all the benefits of our great-grandparents’ root cellars, the American Army war bunkers, and the secret Viet Cong building method with none of their drawbacks. Watch the video and learn more!
“I’ll Jinx The Whole Thing If I Prep”
Some people believe, or at least claim to believe, that they will somehow trigger a disastrous event by preparing. This is no more sensible than causing snow to fall by putting on a pair of skis. Really, this is just another form of denial. Deep down, they know that if they prepare for a disaster, they’ll have to admit there’s the possibility of a disaster, and that terrifies them.
“The Government Will Save Me”
Some people who refuse to prepare do so with the full faith that the government will intervene and rescue them during a disaster. However, looking at the government’s track record for natural disaster response should cause these people to reconsider. Many times the government is ill-equipped to respond to major disasters, particularly in a timely manner—helping a million people at once in a hurricane is a lot slower than an ambulance responding to a 911 call. And if the disaster is large enough, people in the government will be too busy taking care of their own families.
“Someone Else Has Prepped Enough For The Both of Us”
Even if they don’t rely on the government to save them, many people plan to rely on others for resources in the event of a disaster. They think, “My neighbors won’t turn me away if I’m starving.” Actually, they might. It’s hard enough trying to stock up enough supplies for your own family. How is one family of preppers supposed to help the whole neighborhood? Their food would be gone in a matter of days if that.
“I Don’t Have Enough Room”
Many people claim they don’t have enough room to build a storm shelter or enough space to grow their own food. This is simply another excuse not to prepare. Even when living in an apartment complex where such things are impossible, people can still store extra food and water. There are plenty of food storage locations if you look hard enough.
“I Don’t Have Enough Time”
Some claim they don’t have time to prepare for a disaster. They may assume prepping is an extremely involved process of making meticulous plans and working on a ton of DIY projects, but everyone has a few minutes to sit down and come up with a simple plan for what to do when the power goes out. And if you have time to go grocery shopping, you have time to grab some extra supplies.
“People Will Think I’m Crazy”
Inevitably, there will be people who raise an eyebrow at the level of your preparedness. They would not go to such lengths themselves because they don’t want to be labeled the same way they label you: crazy. But it is very unwise to value social acceptance and feedback more than survival. Besides, you don’t have to tell anyone you’re a prepper. In fact, you probably shouldn’t.
“I Don’t Have Enough Money”
Financing preparations to live underground for 20 years with fresh provisions may not be cheap, but coming up with a 6-month supply of canned goods is more doable than you might think. Those who use money as an excuse are simply living in their own form of denial. There are many ways to save money for survival supplies.
“I Don’t Have The Right Skills”
Those who don’t prep may blame it on a lack of skills. “How can I be a prepper when I can’t build a hydroponic victory garden enriched by the waste of a fish pond?” they might say. Blaming unpreparedness on a lack of skills is yet another poor excuse, especially in light of how much can be learned on the Internet for free. Every skill set looks complicated at first, but once you take some time to study, you’ll realize you’re more capable of learning it than you thought.
“I Refuse To Give In To Fear And Paranoia”
Some people who refuse to prepare for a disaster believe they are simply steering clear of all the pessimists and doomsayers. While there is nothing wrong with being optimistic and refusing to give in to fear, this attitude has no effect on what will actually happen. You can be the biggest optimist in the world, but it won’t stop an earthquake, hurricane, or some other disaster from striking your town.
“I’m Too Old”
Many older people say they’re too old to think about prepping for a disaster. They are either selling themselves short and underestimating their own abilities or falling victim again to the normalcy bias: a major disaster hasn’t happened to them in all their years, so chances are it won’t for the last few years either. The truth is that a disaster can strike anyone at any age. And if nothing else, their supplies could help out a friend or relative after they’re gone.
“My Faith Will Save Me”
Some people use their faith as an excuse for not preparing. They believe that if a major disaster actually occurs, divine intervention will save them. But if you just look around, it should be obvious that it doesn’t work that way. Natural disasters strike churches every bit as often as other buildings. There’s an old saying, “God helps those who help themselves.” If you don’t believe that, then explain the story of Noah. Imagine if he had said to God, “Build a boat? Nah, I’m sure you’ll save me before the waters are too high.”
If you’ve ever used one of these reasons as an excuse to not prep, I hope I’ve changed your mind. Remember, prepping is like insurance. Hopefully, you’ll never need it, but if something ever happens, you’ll be glad you have it.
This is probably the most counter-intuitive aspect of survival. One that very few newbie preppers know about… but do you know what the military, navy seals, expert preppers, hardcore bushcraft survivalists and all of their families will do during the next disaster?
Will they head for the woods? No…Will they load their bug out vehicles with supplies and storm off? Nope. Will they go to their bug out retreat? Not a chance.
99% of them will bug in. That’s what they’re prepping for right now, and so should you. Why? Because bugging out is flat-out dangerous. You’ll be out there, in the wild or on a highway, vulnerable, with no shelter, limited supplies, and dangers at every step.
Dan F. Sullivan, one of the top survival experts, has put together a fantastic video that answers some tough questions. I recommend you watch it right now:
The Most Comprehensive Book Available
Our grandfathers had more knowledge than any of us today and thrived even when modern conveniences were not available. They were able to produce and store their food for long periods of time. All the knowledge our grandfathers had, in one place. Here’s just a glimpse of what you’ll find in the book:
The Lost Ways is a far-reaching book with chapters ranging from simple things like making tasty bark-bread-like people did when there was no food to building a traditional backyard smokehouse… and much, much, much more!
Discover how to survive: Most complete survival tactics, tips, skills and ideas like how to make pemmican, snowshoes, knives, soap, beer, smokehouses, bullets, survival bread, water wheels, herbal poultices, Indian roundhouses, root cellars, primitive navigation, and much more at The Lost Ways
Here’s just a glimpse of what you’ll find in The Lost Ways:
From Ruff Simons, an old west history expert, and former deputy, you’ll learn the techniques and methods used by the wise sheriffs from the frontiers to defend an entire village despite being outnumbered and outgunned by gangs of robbers and bandits, and how you can use their wisdom to defend your home against looters when you’ll be surrounded.
Native American ERIK BAINBRIDGE – who took part in the reconstruction of the native village of Kule Loklo in California, will show you how Native Americans build the subterranean roundhouse, an underground house that today will serve you as a storm shelter, a perfectly camouflaged hideout, or a bunker. It can easily shelter three to four families, so how will you feel if, when all hell breaks loose, you’ll be able to call all your loved ones and offer them guidance and shelter? Besides that, the subterranean roundhouse makes an awesome root cellar where you can keep all your food and water reserves year-round.
From Shannon Azares you’ll learn how sailors from the XVII century preserved water in their ships for months on end, even years and how you can use this method to preserve clean water for your family cost-free.
Mike Searson – who is a Firearm and Old West history expert – will show you what to do when there is no more ammo to be had, how people who wandered the West managed to hunt eight deer with six bullets, and why their supply of ammo never ran out. Remember the panic buying in the first half of 2013? That was nothing compared to what’s going to precede the collapse.
From Susan Morrow, an ex-science teacher and chemist, you’ll master “The Art of Poultice.” She says, “If you really explore the ingredients from which our forefathers made poultices, you’ll be totally surprised by the similarities with modern medicines.” Well…how would you feel in a crisis to be the only one from the group knowing about this lost skill? When there are no more antibiotics, people will turn to you to save their ill children’s lives.
If you liked our video tutorial on how to make Pemmican, then you’ll love this: I will show you how to make another superfood that our troops were using in the Independence war, and even George Washington ate on several occasions. This food never goes bad. And I’m not talking about honey or vinegar. I’m talking about real food! The awesome part is that you can make this food in just 10 minutes and I’m pretty sure that you already have the ingredients in your house right now.
Really, this is all just a peek.
The Lost Ways is a far-reaching book with chapters ranging from simple things like making tasty bark-bread-like people did when there was no food to building a traditional backyard smokehouse… and much, much, much more!

The last two generations have learned helplessness from government education. They are taught the government will take care of them; a horrible lie. Nonetheless that is what is taught. They are not just ignorant, an affliction easily remedied if not for all the psychotropic drugs dispensed to prevent normal human behavior such as learning. Learning to overcome their ignorance is hardly possible in this environment. And it’s only getting worse.
We Preppers are in a distinct minority. We think of our future. The rest don’t think they have a future, so why bother. Even if they think a catastrophe is on the horizon, they believe someone will take care of things.
As Scarlett O’Hara said at the end of Gone With The Wind, “I’ll think about it tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is another day!”
