U.S. government plans for surviving the coming collapse of American society


Don’t worry, the government is taking care of us (US). They have a plan. Excerpts from these two articles, presented for your analysis - details a set of guidelines to carefully and tactfully steer the public (sheeple) through the first stage of the coming societal and economic collapse.

Some see it as evidence of totalitarian control, while others see a high degree of integrity as being a very practical approach to avoiding mass paranoia resulting in sabotage of purpose.

Read it whichever way you like, but it’s there, and it is rapidly becoming common knowledge:

Changing Images of Man - Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International) released a report in 1974 that has become a classic in the “alternative futures” literature. It has been adopted as a text in non-traditional courses at more than a dozen universities and reprinted repeatedly by SRI.

Changing Images of Man explores the reasons why changes may have to take place in the fundamental conceptual premises, laws, attitudes and ethics once suitable for guiding the development of the United States and other highly industrialized nations if a humane (and “workable”) future is to be achievable.

It discusses the evidence that such changes may be occurring and the possibility that an evolutionary transformation may be underway that is at least as profound as the transition in Europe when the Medieval Age gave way to the rise of science and the Industrial Revolution. source
Here are the “Elements of a Strategy for a Non-catastrophic Transition”:

1. Promote awareness of the unavoidability of the transformation.

2. Foster construction of a guiding vision of a workable society built around the new image of man and new social paradigm.

3. Foster a period of experimentation and tolerance for diverse alternatives.

4. Encourage a politics of righteousness and a heightened sense of public responsibilities of the private sector . . . A politics of righteousness might have been laudable in any generation; it may be indispensable for safe passage through the times just ahead.

5. Promote systematic exploration of and foster education regarding man’s inner life, his subjective experience.

6. Plan adequate social controls for the transition period while safeguarding against longer-term losses of freedom . . . Regulation and restraint of behavior will be necessary in order to hold the society together while it goes around a difficult corner.

There must be a new economics to deal with the “new scarcities.” Arguing for corporate America to adopt a humanitarian aspect, the argument is made for an alternative “new socialism,” where important sectors like energy might be nationalized for the good of the country, and greater pressure put upon corporations to mandate a sort of social awareness of employee needs, as much as shareholder profits.

“The appropriate question may be not so much how to bring about a transformation . . . but rather how to facilitate a non-catastrophic transformation.” [page 195]

“Construct a guiding version of a workable society, built around a new positive image of humankind and corresponding vision of a suitable social paradigm. As the old order shows increasing signs of falling apart, some adequate vision of what may be simultaneously building is urgently needed for mobilization of constructive effort. The guiding vision has to include some way of providing for full and valued participation in the economic and social affairs of the community and society, especially for those who are physically and mentally able to contribute but find themselves in a state of unwilling idleness and deterioration of spirit.”

Despite all the report’s shortcomings and its hypocrisy, it does make some sound observations about what is needed for our immediate survival. We should take it as a guide to what our government knows about the coming mega-crisis and a template to help us see what changes we could make if there were truly a new economy, a new social contract, a new American state.
For it is obvious to all those who take the time to look, that we are headed into period of national freefall, when American society plunges head first, into a dark abyss of uncertainty, as the old order passes away, and the New World Order rushes in to fill the void.

We are seeing the planned collapse of America, coming down the road we are on.

A Million years of evolution and man kind has still not learned that our greatest enemy is with in each of us.

History is the key to those who seek the truth and not the myths government rhetoric would have you believe.

Our Forefathers planted the seeds of what they thought would be the foundation of a prosperous society.
Planting these seeds cost many their lives, but yet their will along with others like them prevailed over what they considered the greedy rule of their British Landlords.

They were free of the life and the thoughts that bound their own Fathers. Or so it would seem.
History tells us that we come with the faults of our Fathers generation and our Forefathers were no different.
Many of our Forefathers owned slaves. Thus condoning an unbalanced society from the time of it’s conception.
In a since we had become our Fathers.

That in turn brought about the Civil War. America thought we had cleansed ourselves of our Fathers sins.
Or did we?

Speeding forward to the Civil rights movement in this country. Once again we felt the need to exorcise our Forefathers sins from our society.

The beginning of any journey is always the most important step. Safe falls were put in place so that the life
That our Forefathers envisioned would not decay.

Why do we have this Immigration issue today? Supply and demand.
My fellow Americans we still have slave masters in this country today.
A horse of a different color is still a horse. Pardon my best Abraham Lincoln impersonation.

As long as there are safe falls in our constitution that allows business as usual to continue, then I think that it will.

Having served this country’s military I’ am of the belief that if one drop of Blood is spilt over soil, then that soil is worth fighting for. I’ am optimistic about the out come of what might happen to this society in that in the beginning the will of the people prevailed over the greed of others. This will not come without a price.

History tells us that each and every great society that came before, that their demise was from within and that starts with the basics of human nature. Power begets greed and greed begets power.

One more very important cliché……United we stand, Divided we fall, Brothers and Sisters.

That's how I viewed it----interesting and depressing.

Sounds like a plan to implement socialism after an economic collapse. I hate saying this, but it also sounds like a cleansing of the population, where many "undesirables" will perish. It also could be said that they are planing for a period of lawlessness and chaos.

On one hand, I've never been one to fall prey to the panic of impeding doom, but on the other hand, there are quite a few signs out there that are hard to ignore. I am going to pray that the collapse doesn't happen, but I am also going to prepare in case it does. I would suggest that all of you who have the ability to comprehend the multitudes of information out there and have the means to prepare, to start taking the necessary steps to ready yourselves.

The sky is falling.

The Mayans believed that this is the transition time and that 2012 is the start of the new. The new can start smoothly, or it can be chaotic...depending upon our actions.

12/21/12 the sun alligns with the center of the galaxy.

to me...one day follows the next.

It's not the sky that is falling.........it is the economy.

perhaps all we need do is put the Clintons back in office....and all will be well again.

What is it Leslie Neilson said in a Police Squad episode... "you can never go back".

So should we convert our 401k's into Euros and put them in our mattresses?
I'm gonna buy stock in Rolaids and canned baked beans.

I'm just bored Vers. We usually play cards on Monday nights but it's called off this week.

Versatile Dawg This is is "exactly" what i have been telling folks for years(including the old board) the end of the age as we know it is nearing.......

The North American Union is upon us...the complete loss of our freedoms and U.S sovereignty as a nation and as a people....in a few years, the whole world will be controlled by a totalitarian government that will make Joseph Stalin(who murderded over 20 million of his own people) look like Santa Claus...and at the Head of this One World Totalitarian Regime will be none other than....THe Little Horn, The Son of Perdition, The Man of Sin...also known as None other than the AntiChrist Himself

Its all coming to pass...i have been warning people for the last 10 years...everyone fails to listen, the European Union is Complete, the African and Asian Unions are following Suit, and the North American Union is almost there...we will then be merged together by the United Nations that will form a One World Government.....Slavery for all of us.....

North American Union Nearly Complete



If all of this goes down folks it is the END of freedom as you know it,

North American Union Drivers Licenses Allready Created

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=57502

Real Id Act Instituted

http://www.dhs.gov/xprevprot/programs/gc_1200062053842.shtm

The Real ID will have a RFID chip in it...at some point...even your debit card and everything will be on it...at that point NO MAN SHALL BUY OR SELL WITHOUT IT just like the Bible said...someone might steal it...so they will make it where it must be "implanted" in your hand..for those who don't have any arms(amputees, etc) it will be inplanted in their forehead...money will be no more...if you wanna buy anything...you must have a real id..Welcome to the Mark of the Beast coming to a state drivers license agency near you....

Its all coming to pass...Now i ask you...do you want your children to grow up in slavery? any of you out there that have kids...is this the future you want for them?

If your answer is no...there is still hope...there is still time to "buy an extension" so to speak. It requires your effort though

Steps to getting our Constitutional Freedom Back

Step 1 Watch Videos for your Education

Part 1



Part 2


Step 2 Join the Peaceful Revolution

go to http://www.givemeliberty.org/revolution/ and sign up...sign the Petitions for "Redress of Grievances"

Volunteer to Serve Petitions to your Congressman or Senator in your District

Participate in the Process you will be serving a Petition with Millions of signatures of men and women just like you...hard working good Americans

This is all within our rights....as the 1st Amendments States:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Do your country the honor and service it deserves..this is the "greatest" service one can do for his country

As JFK said "its not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country"

You will help pave the way back to a glorious age...a golden age...where the Conviction and vote of the majority matters...a true republic upheld by the law...a Constitutional Republic that is truely based on our Constitution and our traditions as Americans.

This process is a peaceful process

Good luck and God Bless ya!

How is there still hope? The Bible prophecies says that these things will happen. The only way there is hope to stop it is to say that the Bible prophecies would be wrong.

i just happened to be listening to 'eminence front' by the who while reading this article

all gloom and doom talk aside, i can feel in more people overall a sense of concern than i have ever before. i suppose our nation is going thru some serious growing pains, and hopefully the good in people will steer us from the evil.

just my 2 copper pieces (or whatever they're now made of)

that is a very common "Misconception" For those said "but that is not possible" but Jesus Replied:With God ALL things are possible.

this "extension" so to speak wouldn't be the 1st..God has gave man extensions in the past if they turned from their wicked ways

God Spared Noah during the flood even though God thought of compleltly destroying man...mankind was given an extension though Noah and his family...

During World War 2...many jews and other innocents were killed...things seemed "very very dark" for most of mankind....but a nation truely of God(The United States) was the ONLY shining light in all that darkness(over 70 million killed) and with God's Help..the United States beat Satan and God gave us yet "another" extenstion.....that is justy a few examples

If we go back to our founding principles, our founding traditions, pay Homage to our true God who loves each and every one of us...he will give us an extension...the world won't end until "all" flesh is corrupted(IE no one left on earth that cares about God of his laws and love)....we are fast approaching that day...as many say the Bible is "Anachronistic" and such and shug it off...there is still time

If we go back to our "Traditions" our roots of what this country is Founded on

Our rights and Freedoms are "Unalienable" where to you think those Unalienable rights come from? The Founders Acknowledged they came from God Allmighty Himself, as does the Magna Carta and other Great historical documents of freedom

isn't funny..most nowadays hate God, but the "FOUNDATIONS OF TRUE FREEDOM" were endowed to mankind by God himself..declared Unalienable to all men regardless of race, creed, or stature...yet many shrug off God or protest he don't exist...the very same God who gave them the Freedom they so eaglery take for granted

The Greatests Acts of true Liberty, Freedom and the Basis of the TRUE American way were ALL inspired by God Allmighty Himself

The Magna Carta of 1215
the Declaration of Independence
The United States Constitution
The Emancipation Proclaimation
THe Civil Rights Movement

All were inspired By God allmighty himself...he heard the crys and the sufferings of all people...just as he heard the crys and suffering of the jews in bondage by the egyptians...he also heard the crys of the people of Europe, the crys of the Slave during the Civil War, the Crys of the African Americans for Equal rights...isn't it funny..God "Produces" a MAN or Woman of Exceptional Statue and Chracter to "initiate" Change....Now the time has come again where God has again Endowed a man with Great Truth and Spirit

Ron Paul: His Message? Liberty and Constitutional Freedom...all races, all makes, all genders flock to him...all put aside their "petty" differences like Abortion, race and gender gaps and all come together as "one people" under the message of liberty

He has started what many call a "peaceful revolution" for a Creater he loves so much, who also loves him

Has been married to the same woman 30+ years
Has delivered over 40 babies into this world
Gives back over half his congressional salary every year
doesn't participate in the Congressional retirement fund paid on the backs of millions of hard working americans

He has "given back" every chance he has and is a TRUE American...he represents EXACTLY what the founders and the Traditional true American is and is supposed to be...he wants to "give back" the american Dream, to give back that hope

Through God all things are possible...we can change things if we turn to him and belive in his message of love, freedom, liberty, and goodwill towards our brothers and sisters and a face away from wickedness...God bless ya

That is how it says it will end...and that to me is the riddle of the Bible.

Free will of men, something mentioned many times, is the key.

It doesn't have to end that way. It only ends that way if our free will allows it.


If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
