The following is a satirical response to a friend of mine that refuses to consider conspiracies of any kind and believes he has the solutions for all Americans. This is also for those snowflakes that have complained about all of my emails and articles being too negative. This one should make up for all that, and help encourage them for a bright and beautiful future of bunny rabbits and butterflies. Not. GE

In my opinion, self-direction is a national solution. The more people that are debt free, learn how to live with less, garden, fish and bicycle to the store - will be way ahead of the curve.
If people would listen to what you've been saying all these years, they would be happier and live a lifestyle with less stress and worry. We would also not need to worry about whatever is coming down the pike at this nation.
Being overly concerned about what happened to Russia after the communist revolution took control is to operate in a conspiracy theory mindset, and frankly, an example of dead-end thinking.
Sure the czar and his family were removed, and all power was in the hands of the communists, but that was then, this is now. After all, God sets up governments, so it was God's will. We will never be in the same situation the Russians were in, we can trust our government today, they are honorable men and women. Self direction, fishing, gardening, saving cash, buying bicycles and Spam is the answer.

For every problem there is a solution, and those solutions are staring us in the face every day. All we have to do is stop worrying or fretting about the future. The future will happen on its own without us having to lift a finger or give it a second thought. Don't worry, be happy - should be our national motto.

Keeping all our money in the bank is the best choice possible. It can't be stolen in the bank and it is totally insured, and it can't be seized by the government for any reason. We no longer live in 1929, so we don't have to worry about losing the money we have safely stored in the bank. In addition to that, hyperinflation is a myth, just another conspiracy theory that needs to be ignored. It is not part of the sane world we live in today.
The idea that the entire nation might collapse and be turned into a giant gulag is nothing more than a conspiracy theory to spoil our faith in the two-party system. This system works and there is no voter fraud in the nation to worry about, ever.

The advantage people will have that don't plan ahead for economic slowdowns is mostly from the lack of stress, and mental and emotional turmoil that is all self-induced and unnecessary. Not to worry about the future is the best solution we can offer people.
The nation is not going downhill and there is a real recovery right around the corner if we would only be smart enough to believe it and accept it. Besides, elections in the future will fix things and balance things out anyway, it always has and will do so again and again. It is from here that things will continue to get better and better for all of us. We are facing a golden future of medical breakthroughs, God given vaccines, human enlightenment, prosperity for all and peace in our time worldwide.

This is all available to us if we would simply tear down the fear, hatred and falsehoods of conspiracies we've operated in all our lives. And instead embrace a future readily available to us through the destruction of lies we thought were true. The only pathway to freedom is to push away the false, negative ideas we had in the past and replace them with positive, good thoughts of a new utopian world of peace and equality for all.
This is actually what our founding fathers wanted all along but they were too afraid to say it.

The Russians learned how to accept their station in life and find ways to be happy. We can see that in their popular saying: "have a bottle of vodka and you are free all day!". What does that mean to us today? It means that they recognized that nature's fermentation was natural and truly a gift for all of us to enjoy. In other words, we should stay positive and drink more - and in that way we can visualize our freedom and make it a reality! It works hand in glove with the wise words you've told people for years about self-direction, gardening, fishing and learning to be content in a small home with less. Because, we all know that "less is more" and "poverty is wealth". GE

Here is the real note I wanted to write to him:

In my opinion “self-direction” is not a national solution. Only a minimum amount of people can do that successfully.

The global depopulation thing is a blanket global agenda - they have been working on depopulation on a global level for over 70 years. It is not a conspiracy theory, it is an operational plan that affects the world every day in one way or the other. We don't have to worry that it MIGHT happen in the future. It has already been forced upon us. My 3 girls don't have children because of that operational plan. Family planning, putting off having children for a career, the destruction of the family unit, the promotion of equal rights for women, the promotion of gay rights - are all plans that have been operating for years and have reduced the population by millions world-wide. It's not a conspiracy theory that might happen in the future - It has already happened, and proven to work all too well.

In my opinion there are no solutions anymore, none. All we can do is try to minimize the horrible effects of what is coming down the pike at our nation.

Think about what happened to Russia after the communist revolution took control. The czar and his family were murdered. All power was in the hands of the communists. What solution would we give to the people living in Russia at that time? Self- direction? Fishing? Gardening? Get a bike? Save cash? Buy bitcoin?
Try to apply every solution you and I have discussed over the years for Americans and then literally try to use every solution towards the communist takeover of Russia - and that is where we are today. None of what we discussed will work.

There is NO legal solution. None. Money in the bank won't work. Buying more guns won't work. Buying more gas, or bikes won't work. Being debt free won't work. Both those that are in debt and those that have no debt will be equal - when all is lost.

The entire nation will be one big gulag. The only advantage people will have that "planned ahead" for tyranny that is coming, is to have a head start to get used to being a prisoner behind bars. That is not a solution man, that is an advanced surrender into serfdom and abdicating freewill to a communist takeover. It is not even "strategic withdrawal from offensive warfare". It is total, unconditional surrender wrapped in Orwellian doublespeak. Like: weakness is strength, surrender is freedom, slavery is independence, lies are truth, war is peace, black is white.

The nation is going downhill and there is no recovery, no normalcy right around the corner, and no elections in the future that will fix things. It is from here that things continue to go down further and further until we are all huddled in our homes around a small wood stove - like Russian peasants in the 1930s.

This is the slamming of a boot on our faces forever. There is no solution to better acclimate ourselves to government slavery. Accepting the outcome of being dirt poor peasants, is not an American family value to strive towards. When the American system is not working and the economy and infrastructure is failing and there are no jobs or hope for prosperity in the future, the nation is DEAD - it is over, it is in a full speed, unhindered collapse. There are no self-help books for that. No guru solutions to lessen the severity of slavery and then pretend to be free.

After several generations of communist slavery, the Russians would joke by saying "have a bottle of vodka and you are free all day!".
That is exactly where we are headed. George Orwell said that to make others believe a lie that is trumpeted to the masses, you first have to fool yourself into believing the lie. It seems to me that those that repeat solutions for what we face in this nation are not so much trying to convince others, they are actually trying to convince themselves to believe the lie. And it ain't working. George Eaton
