:
Today you enjoy relative peace and comfort, but what of tomorrow? Much is working together to destroy your peace and comfort, and if you understand your days, you know your society is fragile, dependent, interdependent, interconnected and made possible by a vast technological chain, and if one link weakens, even for hours or days, and certainly weeks, society will unravel, and if a major link breaks, society will begin to implode, intensifying by hours and days, and in a weeks time, restraint will turn to raw force.
Your cities will become prisons, death-traps, killing fields, and in the end, your graveyard.
Into all cities come all things that make cities habitable: Building materials, clothing, water, food and utilities, and from the cities go all things that disease man: Sewage, garbage, trash and refuse.
There is little sustainable life in cities without things brought in and things taken out.
FOR MOST, CITY LIFE REQUIRES EMPLOYMENT, UTILITIES AND TRANSPORTATION, AND SHOULD ANY ONE OF THESE FAIL LONG ENOUGH THERE WILL BE NO LIFE IN THE CITIES, AND WHEN CITIES BEGIN TO FALL, THE WORK OF DEATH BEGINS.
There will be short windows of escape for those who will not “lift the sword” against another.
After the last window of opportunity to leave closes, those who try to leave will fall prey to maraudering armies of looters, rapists, pillagers and plunderers. You will be attacked in your homes, on the streets and as you try to leave the city. Those that make it to the outskirts of cities will become the toys and playthings of men who have given themselves over to the blackness of their carnal natures.
After the peaceable folks have fled, the inner cities will become battle-zones between contending forces.
At first it will be territorial conquests, the strongest gaining power, and then the victors will make the cities fortresses against outsiders. This will continue as long as cities afford shelter, water and food, but when supplies run out, internal fighting begins and the strong will kill the weak, and then, when all sustenance is gone, they will leave the cities and scour the country-side seeking survival, and then it is that extreme danger awaits those who are found on lonely isolated farms and “country”–places with but few people for defense.
Devouring mobs advance from gigantic metropolitan areas to large cities to small cities to rural towns and villages--they come, a vast army, a horde of desperate people unlike has been seen in the history of America.
Cannibalism will become a way of life, and men will be hunted not only for their possessions but for food.
The only defense in these times will be with those who have gathered together, organized, planned, and who go forth to meet the enemy at their own borders of their fortifications (do not underestimate those who have succumbed to their darkest nature, for they are driven by survival, and will fight to the death). Among them will be many innocents who have been thrust among them and carried along with them, both men, women and children--many prisoners. You will know the innocent from the wicked, for the innocent will refrain, hold back (not be with the attackers) while the wicked will rush forward to embrace life or death, for truly they come to live or die.
Wise are they who during these times, when a man asks you for bread, deny him not, for to do so brings destruction, while sharing, even your last morsel, brings life to you and your household, your village, your fortress, your compound (there is more to this life than this life).
The “destroyer” (people and sickness and war) will move among the children of men, and by this token--GIVING FOOD AND SHELTER, OR DENYING FOOD AND SHELTER--you bring life or death upon yourself and your household.
This is a time of great sifting and purifying of individuals.
Any who take by force, will, in due time, lose their life, and his household with him. Any who deny the request of the hungry, will, reap as he sows.
The days ahead are not days to trifle with, they are days of learning about self.
