‘Doomsday Preppers’ Are Prepared To Take Up Arms Against The Government


http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/05/08/doomsday-preppers-are-prepared-to-take-up-arms-against-the-government-video/

It started as a joke. One night, with not much else to watch on television, I turned on “Doomsday Preppers” on the National Geographic channel. Within a few minutes, I was hooked. People aren’t really this paranoid, right? I’d heard of being prepared for things like natural disasters, but these people were extremists. And extremists have always fascinated me.
Article PhotoI started looking into the movement and what I found is unsettling. Speaking, of course, in general (nothing is ever universal except for change), preppers are a very secretive bunch. Estimated to be about 3 million strong (but difficult to get a solid number since they are so well hidden), they actually look down on those who agree to be on the show. They say the Preppers who go on the show only make them all look like paranoid, tinfoil hat-wearing, gun-nut bigots with anti-government ideas. But that’s not a fair depiction at all, they exclaim. After all, they are just God-fearing, Constitution-loving, traditional marriage-favoring, guns-are-for-keeping-government-tyranny-in-check patriots!
manufactured fear of losing those same guns Pres. said they cling to, along with those Bibles idon't believe they've ever read, and proving him right.
right wing and NRA leaf T-Party have comp0letely punked their base to promote teir propaganda.
G W Bush " you can fool some of the people all of the time and those are the ones you want to concetrate on", they think they are revolting against a gov't that only exist in the hands of those telling them the opposite.
republican politics, truly of their people and by them.
So they happen to have a few guns. So they happen to have thousands of rounds of ammunition. So they happen to know how to make their own ammo. So they happen to hate anyone who has ever needed public assistance, is homosexual, a minority, liberal, or educated. What harm could they possibly pose to society? (Don't believe me on the hate? Check out the comments on this blog.)
I've spent months lurking in their online forums. I am of the belief that the anonymity (or at least perception of it) of the Internet lets people speak more freely than they would in person. This is certainly true in these forums. In the safety of their online community, they show their true colors.
They hate everyone who isn't white, Christian, and a Prepper. (Because if you aren't a prepper, you're going to die when the "SHTF" or "@!$%# hits the fan.") One of the most popular topics among Preppers is what will trigger TEOTWAWKI (tee-ought-wa-kee), or "the end of the world as we know it."
(Cue R.E.M!) Some think nuclear war, some think economic collapse, others think Obama is going to declare himself dictator and mandate martial law. Whatever they think the cause will be, one thing is agreed upon: the end is near, and societal collapse is inevitable.
they are going about this the same way and frame of mind in the first civil war, is this another example of right wing insanity, keep doing the same thing and look for a different outcome?  losing should be lessons of what gets you in that column.  this also IMO why they have been making big deal about striking Americans on American soil with drones, they are susceptible especially those supremest militias in the mountains and woods, using the laws they don't respect to save their own butts, i say f 'em drone strike the cowboy crap out them.
