Marc Faber, the author of Gloom, Boom and Doom Report and well-respected economist, was interviewed recently on CNBC; and when asked what sort of odds he put on a global recession happening, Faber, famous for his predictions, answered "100%." 

Faber is the "umpteenth" high profile economist to straight-forwardly give that answer to the news media.  Although, with this being presidential campaign season and the liberals at the media helm, you won't hear much about this economic forecast for America.

Faber's prediction, however, pales in comparison to another well-known economist, Robert Wiedemer.  Wiedemer's talents are unique, in that he predicted the economic collapse of the housing market as far back as 2006. 

Wiedemer's outlook on the US economy today makes "Dr. Doom" Faber look like Mr. Rogers.  In a recent interview for his newest book, "Aftershock," Wiedemer says, "The data is clear, 50% unemployment, a 90% stock market drop and 100% annual inflation starting in 2012."

Before this year is out, folks! 

Various online news media networks repeatedly shunned Wiedemer's interview and refused to air it.  Nevertheless, Newsmax is pushing the information and the interview can be viewed on Newsmax.com.


Instead of going fishing for another interesting news story, please stop and pause a moment to ask yourself if you are prepared for the skyrocketing prices, public protests and possible riots to follow.  Now is the time to think about home defense and stocking what you can, because just a few months from now and early next year could be too late. 

Scenario:  If protests and rioting break out, the president could declare martial law.  It is important to know what martial law involves, so you can be one step ahead of the disaster. 

FACTS:

Martial law is defined as military rule imposed on civilian populations (Hitler turned Germany into a Nazi dictatorship through executive orders).  Martial law can be declared due to national disasters, stock market crash, utility black-outs, riots, biological attack, ...anything leading to the breakdown of law and order.

  • Executive Order 10997: all electrical power, fuels and minerals would be seized by the federal government.
  • Executive Order 10998: all food resources, farms and farm equipment will be seized by the government. You will not be allowed to hoard food, since this is regulated.
  • Executive Order 10999: all modes of transportation will go into government control. Any vehicle could be seized.
  • Executive Order 11000: all civilians can be used for work under federal supervision.
  • Executive Order 11490: establishes presidential control over all all US citizens, businesses and churches in times of "emergency."
  • Executive Order 12919: directs various cabinet officials to be ready to take over all aspects of the US economy during a State of National Emergency at the direction of the president (Obama would really love that).
  • Executive Order 13010: Directs FEMA to take control over all government agencies in time of emergency.


TIPS ON SURVIVING MARTIAL LAW

  • Prepare before a declaration of martial law by becoming self reliant.  Instead of being dependent on a bureaucratic system, be ahead of the crisis through preemptive preparedness.  You might also face mob rule, chaos, panic, or a complete breakdown in law and order.  Survival may be easier to handle in rural areas.
  • Avoid populated areas of martial law.
  • Create alliances with like-minded neighbors or community members who share your views.
  • Become transparent in the sense that you do not draw attention to yourself and your family.  Do not tell people that you are storing food, just store your food and extra water.
  • Assist your neighbors, if they need help.  You never know when you might need their help at some point.
  • Remain calm and do not panic.
  • Get informed and stay informed.  You can get a SW/LW crank radio that even charges your cell phone with an SBC cable for about 60.00 at Sears.
  • Declaration of martial law means your rights are suspended and they may no longer apply.  People can be arrested and imprisoned indefinitely without being officially charged with a crime (per Obama's National Defense Authorization Act, which he signed in HI on New Year's Eve!).
  • Freedom of speech and assembly may be suspended and media censorship imposed (it already is!).
  • Gun ownership would come under attack.  Military personnel could be dispatched door to door to confiscate weapons.
  • Be ready to take a stand on important issues (you might consider letting the small things slide to focus on more important issues - like self-defense).  If you believe as Patrick Henry, "Give me liberty, or give me death," understand you may have some very hard choices to make and prepare yourself spiritually and mentally.

I understand some Christians have the "door mat" mentality and we are to succumb to all authority.  Please consider asking yourself, if you knew Hitler was coming in advance, would you be compliant? 

A government which enacts laws that allow its own citizens to be arrested and held indefinitely - could be for life - without a charge and without a trial, is a real threat to its citizens.  This type of law is unconstitutional and un-American.  Because of the blood spilled by our forefathers, who died mercilessly on many a battlefield for our freedoms, we, as Americans, should never tolerate such a government in action. 

Before the Romans invaded Israel and slaughtered most of the Jews, Jesus forewarned the Apostles, "...he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one" Luke 22:36.  Jesus counseled the Apostles on self defense, against such monstrous and vicious men as the Roman soldiers.  Jesus knew they would torture and mercilessly slaughter His own people and He let them know, in no uncertain terms, that He wanted them to defend themselves and their families.  He let them know they were not required to be martyrs, because He would soon die for them.  Groups of Christian Jews did flee Jerusalem, although the Apostles chose on their own to lay down their lives as martyrs, as did our Savior.  The choice is also yours. 
If you have little ones, you may want to think twice about what Hitler did to Jewish families, including children, before you make that choice.  God bless you.
