“Only the educated are free.”

"When politics are used to allocate resources, the resources all end up being allocated to politics."
~ P.J. O’Rourke

The executive branch of the Federal government is embracing and openly declaring its support of ideologies and espousers of pogroms who have been responsible for the death of millions upon millions from Europe to China.
What is the ostensive difference between the actions of our present chief executive’s administration, in concert with its dupes in Congress over the last year, and Lenin’s statement that "Communism is power based upon force and limited to nothing, by no kind of law and by absolutely no set rule"? Lenin's Collected Works, Vol. XVIII, page 361
With the acceleration of government size and power are we that far away from certain books, websites, cable news networks, and radio programs being outlawed? Can we expect harsh penalties being exacted for dispersing, or even speaking certain "unapproved, government banned" ideals? You think not? Consider how many words are no longer "politically correct" and construed as "hate crimes."
Is it a stretch of the imagination to see a future that has government induced food shortages or clothing shortages? You had better be sure of your answer. Our banking and financial systems are failing!
How long do you really think it will be before we are reliving the worst that history has to offer?
Take a look at your children and grandchildren; will they survive? Could you survive?
Before you answer don’t let a modicum of present wealth and comfort lull you into apathy or a false sense of security.
Survival begins not with guns, gold, and a garden. It starts with self-reliance, strong family and communal bonds, a plan of subterfuge, and clandestine acts centered in the refusal to be subdued. You can’t have it all so you had better spend the scarce time, energy and resources you have left to prepare.
