My crystal ball is cloudy, but I do believe we are in unprecedented times of chaos and unrest. It costs me very little EXTRA to be prepared. Yes ... I have bought some items to facilitate/aid my preparedness, but not too much. In fact most of what I need to survive in a SHTF event I already have since my rural life requires it.

I tried to include as many options as I think are relevant, but if your 'choice' isn't there say so and expound.

For me, I think we're just circling the bowl before that final plunge into the sewer.
Won't be long, but we'll get there.

It feels as though a myriad of events are creating the perfect storm. yet the storm is a ways down the road; but not too far.
I'm putting some distance between myself and urban areas, before the next presidential election.
As I'm finally relocating out of this urban cesspool.

My crystal ball is cloudy, but it does seem like the current administration is trying to provoke a civil war.

I marked "other" because I think it may be a combination of things. And the timetable is unknown. I think the Global Elites (aka Jet Set, or Uber Rich) will over play their hand and something will erupt, but I don't know what or exactly when.

I am on the record (and have been, for several years) as saying I doubt we make it through the end of 2030.

"unprecedented times of chaos and unrest."
Kinda like the rider on the Red Horse, in Revelation 6:4
"there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword." (KJV)

It is hard to say. That could very well be his goal, but I think he is just seeing how far he can push to tear us apart, little by little. Like the frog in the pot of warm water thing.

This one, the last one, the next one. Keeping us (collectively) divided and fighting each other keeps us distracted and weak.

It has already happened. The key event was the installation of Biden/Harris into office.

True, but, if we pursue this subject, in this forum, this thread won't last long.
We need to find a more appropriate forum to discuss this.

I think that as each year goes by, we always feel that SHTF is just hiding around the next bend.

These feelings get stronger each year.
