No doubts we are living through the great storm predicted. The storm has begun but will intensify and we will reap what we have sown. Difficult, difficult days lie ahead. In my work I have a changed role and things are going to be extremely challenging for me from September & I will be working very hard to adjust to the new responsibilities and it will be exhausting. But I am not even worried about this as I feel events are going to overtake us soon that will make my work situation pale into insignificance. The daily news is just shocking and hard to believe that evil has take such hold even in my short lifetime (5 decades + 1). But I have always believed that in my lifetime I would see a great collapse. In the late 1990s I was googling ' the collapse of western civilization' & all I got was history websites. Type it in now & you will see lots of contemporary analysis of the coming collapse even from the most sober & respectable sites!
Torrential rain and flash flooding cause travel chaos in S East England today Lightning strikes, hail, torrential rain and flash flooding have caused major travel problems across east and south-east England. There have been problems on the roads in Sussex, Essex and London. London Fire Brigade said it was helping people trapped in their cars across parts of the capital. Electrical supply problems caused by a lightning strike have led to disruption on Southern railways, with services subject to delays. Rail services between Brighton, Hove and Shoreham-by-Sea are affected, and services are unable to call at Worthing as the subway is flooded. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-28520520
A friend of Medjugorje remarked that the apparitions may end in 7 years time. He seems convinced that an economic collapse may happen sooner than that. I suppose, an economic system built on "printing money" can't last long.
I concurr with you satement above. The present work we have will soon evaporate in the turmoil ahead. For those who live in the US and live off goverment substidies, welfare, health insurance, government businesses, schools, elderly homes, farm land etc.... they will get hit extremely hard when this is what has sustained them until now. The colapse will have a ripple effect throughout, as money drives every business and infrustructure. All the attention and money that is spent on sports and entertainment will vanish almost overnight. The humbling of the free world will be extremely hard and that is when the hatred of God and Godly people will really kick in from those who serve this world and not the one true God.

fascinating dream I just read posted on SteveQuayle site: 'They’re coming, They’re coming; The Tanks are coming', The crowd began to scream and panic and chaos broke out. People began to trample on one another. I was quickly whisked out of the city. June 2011 Dream I had a dream that I was in a European town with cobblestone streets back in the late 1930’s, right around the time that Europe was hearing rumors of wars coming closer to their towns. I was dressed in a white flowing dress with a sash around my waste. I was walking through the town and had the feeling that there was the presence of the Holy Spirit that was walking with me off of my right shoulder. I was to walk through the town and I would get a leading in my spirit that I was to tell a person that it was time for them to go. Not everyone could see me as I walked through the town. Only the people who had eyes to see and ears to here were able to see me. I walked up to a man leaning on a 1930’s car and said, “Sir, it is time to go now”. He tipped his hat and smiled and walked on down the road”. I saw two small children playing in the street and I did not see their parents, so I walked up to an elderly woman and said, “It is Time to go, please take these children with you down the road”. The children were a little boy and girl maybe 3 and 5 years old. I told another woman as she was walking down the road and she began arguing with me about, how did I know it was time to go, maybe it isn’t. I was prompted to keep on moving down the road. Do not argue with anyone and keep on moving, time was critical. I looked around and I asked if there was anyone else that I was to tell to leave and I didn’t get a leading to share with anyone else so I was told that it was time for me to leave the town. As I was about a block out of the town, a young 21 year old man came running into the town screaming, “They’re coming, They’re coming; The Tanks are coming”. The crowd began to scream and panic and chaos broke out. People began to trample on one another. I was quickly whisked out of the city. I felt as if the Palm of His Hand had scooped me up and moved me down the road a thousand miles like a maglev train going 200 miles per hour. I could hear the panic and screaming like it was up close and within a second we were thousands of miles away and the screams were far in a distance. We were gone and safely away from the danger.
It will be the coldest night in 85 years in my part of the world tonight. Where did summer go? http://www.weather.com/news/weather-forecast/late-july-summer-cool-down-20140724
And let's not forget among the financial smoke and mirrors, the whole sexual revolution which cries to heaven. Michael Brown today has a link to an extraordinary article in Catholic Culture http://www.catholicculture.org/commentary/otc.cfm?id=1215 The final paragraph hints at what we are saying here: I do not say we have reached the antichrist or the end, but I do say we should be grateful that God always shortens the days for those with Faith (Mt 24:22; Mk 13:20). For we are certainly witnessing the wholesale substitution of man’s plans for God’s. The very mention of 'the antichrist or the end' asks us to think about it. I have been sensing something in the air for some years now. When Spirit Daily mentioned a possible contaminated water supply causing societal breakdown, I laid in some bottled water, but it would not have lasted very long! I can't talk much to the DH about all this, but when I mentioned subsistence farming, he said we don't have the land (we have 1.4 acres, much of it sloping and a bit boggy). Is anyone laying in canned foods? In Bud Macfarlane's 'House of Gold' people were buying generators and long life milk. How many of us could live a 19th century lifestyle?
I think the people of this country (Ireland) would struggle massively with a 19th century situation, if the chaos in my house when the internet goes down for an hour is anything to go by!! I started buying in some tinned food in Nov 2012. Then I stopped but I've actually privately been planning to begin again. So far: A few tins of corned beef, beans, a few 1 kg bags of rice, a few bags of oats for porriage, a pack of powdered milk, batteries, loads of hand sanitizer if the water was cut (cleanliness is godliness and all that), disinfectant wipes, a wind up torch, about 20L of bottled water, washing up liquid, dettol, plasters and bandages, a pack of 5 toothbrushes, a few tubes of cheap toothpaste and mouthwash, multi vitamins, paracetamol and antacids, and 2 luxeries: 1 box of tea and 1 jar of coffee. Reading that list, I sound really crazy. BUT, all of this items would be handy in the case of eg a major snow event, which actually happened in 2010 when we were cut off for a few days. Last week, I bought 30 AA batteries as I figure AM/FM radios will be a life line if anything major happened. Next on my list is more food and, essentially, a method of cooking (we are electric in our house), so I was thinking of a gas cooker. I'm researching prices in various shops and online, different models etc. We have fireplaces and we're living in a country area so at least we've wood if it came to desperation I could cut down a few trees. I fully intend to use my 0.5 acre back yard to grow potatoes and turnips, carrots and get in a few chickens and goats. (I'm not crazy, honest!!!) Am I the only one doing this??
I don't think you are crazy at all. But would a gas cooker last much longer than electric? You could use one with propane bottles but what when these run out? I am thinking that as soon as things go south, there will be a stampede of panic buying. Meat will also be difficult - chickens will provide some (can you kill one?) but what about 'free' food like pigeon, rabbit, squirrel? Guns are illegal in the UK but I think an airgun is OK. We also have wood. Problems would come with marauders stealing food/animals, etc. We have a well on our land and are planning to uncover it and make it useful again. My DH isn't apprised of my personal reasons for this, he thinks it would be useful to water the garden. Love the idea of storing bags of rice and dried food. Candles might also be useful and boxes of matches. You know I really hope that things don't go bad soon. Renovation work is set to start on our house early next month. The kitchen and utility are to be demolished and rebuilt.
When you live in the country all this is fine. But when you live in a big city there is really not a lot you can do. I am counting on Our Lady to give me a hand out and I am confident now and not afraid of whatever may come. The only recommendation I got in prayer was to be ready to move quickly when heaven asks it, kind of like the flight to Egypt. However if there is indeed a ten day warning from an apparition site I will use that time to warn everyone I can and stock up very, very quick.
Torrentum - it is the Holy Spirit working in you to prepare for what is to come. Our electricity went off for an hour yesterday - we lived 19th century life for an hour! Oh boy, without electricity we would soon be 3rd world (actually that is an insult to developing world as they can function without modern infrastructure). For an hour house phone did not work, cooker off (with dinner in it!), no fridge, no lights, nothing. I took it as a sign to start thinking about what to do should it be off continuously (an EMP strike would send us into the dark ages). I awoke this morning with a plan in my head for when communications go down (including mobile network & internet) to keep all of my family members in touch so must have dreamt this! Three meeting points for family members told in advance - my home; my parents home 75 miles away & the in-laws home 85 miles, (3 different counties) which makes a triangle! Anyway the in-laws home is set on a small farm deep in the countryside & they have working wells. When I first met my beloved & visited in the early 1980's they were still drawing the freshest of cold water from three wells on the farm. I was speaking to my brother in law the other night & out of the blue said - Patrick , we will be relying on your wells for water in the not too distant future (I'm sure he wondered who is the nut!). I have a feeling this is where I might be moving too when things collapse, don't know for sure, but it has been in my head for years that I will be living there. At the foot of mountains it is certainly an ideal location for rural living and protection. Why have I been thinking like this for years?/why was I googling the collapse of the west in the 1990's?/why have I this image in my head of us living on the in-laws farm?/why did I tell my brother in law we would be drinking from his wells?/why have I been thinking of a plan for when communications are out?/why have I felt for a long time sensed we will be living by Divine Providence & Protection? These are strong senses I am picking up and the pulse has been racing faster this year than any other with the sense of imminence palpable. Some may scoff and laugh but when the collapse comes I will be mentally prepared at least.
I read this article this morning and think I will read the book.... http://www.spiritdaily.com/persecutionkibeho.htm
I must confess, my decision to live in the country (im a townie) was 90% country life ( peace, nature, starry skies), 10% "what would I do if a collapse came", so it did influence my decision, even just a little. Cooking food would be an open invitation to trouble if people smelled it: I'm fully prepared to share what little I have if people come. No matter how many. I'm not doing this so I can 'survive' while every one else goes hungry, far from it, as Our Lady said last month in Medjugorje, "through prayer you'll discover the wisdom of living." All are welcome. I'm just doing what I can with what I have. I don't have a gun and don't want one. Though the thought crosses my mind sometimes, it doesn't seem to be 'me'. Safety in numbers would be my bet. I'd get my family here asap and have a bigger crowd. Though, that may not be possible. There are 2 elderly people living up the road, so I'm thinking of them as well. Clare A: I agree, gas would only last a few months. I've been doing a titanic amount of reading on cooking using alternative methods and also researching what weeds are safe to eat ( eg Nettle's are massively good for you) and about hunting rabbits, fishing ( no rod yet), and, most importantly, water harvesting as we are on a public supply. There are hundreds of people doing this - preparing, a lot are atheist. Amazing how we all sense the same thing! There are even Facebook groups that head off together to live in the woods for a week to sharpen their skills - it's almost a sport. Though that's not my thing. Tamar Yonah of Israel National Radio is the person who first inspired me to start prepping in a serious way. It was in 2012 when all the talk of an imminent Iranian war, she had a person on the air from the Home Command advising all Israelis to get some basic things. And he gave out a list and have great practical advice. Eg: filling your bath tub with water to use to flush your toilet, if you get enough warning at least you will have that - a great piece of advice. Sorry for the long posts. I just think it's important to prepare, but also to stress - it's time to move our paradigm away from the selfish prepping going on at the moment on the TV shows and on youtube, and realize the fruit of the second joyful mystery - love of neighbor. Our little community will be all that we have and caring for them will be a priority
I was really shocked to read and see these pictures today. I never thought it my lifetime that we would see armed militia's in the US. I'm not making a judgement on this as quite honestly I don't know the "right" answer but the fact that the southern border is in such disarray that we have citizens deciding to form armed militia units says so much about the state of affairs. http://www.chron.com/news/local/article/Photos-show-border-militias-moving-across-Texas-5647487.php
