Translator's note: For those who do not know, the blog SHTF School recounts the experiences and thoughts of a survivor of the Balkan War, who spent a year living in a besieged city where there were no laws, or any food resource.
I also ask you to realize how much the text below fits the current scenario of our country and please share this text in their social networks and the like so we can warn more people about what can bring us down soon.
People who are in movement preparation and survival in the world and the internet are doing several things to prepare for possible crises.
Numerous blogs and forums out there, all trying to figure out where the @! @ # Will hit the fan and how the scenario will be. My wartime was the worst possible scenario and imagine that few people will face something so bad even when there is complete breakdown of law (at least you will not have snipers and shelling behave if their government).
The question of a million dollars is : " How the collapse will look like and when it will start ? "
Unlike what many think , the crisis did not start overnight unless there is an error or if the government grotesque nature getting revenge on us. I believe that the government and corporations just turn the lights off so slowly . Deliver lanterns for people to see in a small area around but did not see the entire scenario .
When you put people in misery slowly they think is normal , humans get used to everything around them if they have time for it . Take the air to breathe and leave just enough to keep you alive.
What I mean is that the crisis has already started , hit us quietly and slowly is collapsing around us . Most people will only realize it when things blow up in their faces . Think about the following questions :
What is the status of your infrastructure site ?
And the crime in your area ?
Costs of gasoline, food and other utilities ?
How many of you have decent jobs and have not, what are the chances of getting one?
What about your health plan ?
There are more people dependent on the government today?
All that is asked getting better or worse over the years?
I saw a guy a few months ago. He was an alcoholic and homeless . Hygiene and way of life it was clearly at a low level .
After some time I saw that his foot began to turn gangrenous . I helped him a few times. He died later . He had no proper medical treatment , he had no social security , no money , no friends. He died on the street. Even after death he stood there in the street for a while before anyone realize that he was dead and not sleeping .
Now you can say that these things happen everywhere , and you're right , it happens around the world.
But I remember a time when this same guy would receive medical attention and be taken to an institution of government that would pay for your medical bills , food and everything else. That does not happen anymore . Normal people would care about this guy but now they stopped because the air is getting thinner for everyone . It's time to focus on yourself .
As this slow collapse look like?
The places where you live get smaller , you work more and earn less . You eat low quality food and have less time for other things . You expect less and less of the things around you . The quality of things get worse and worse. You can not expect to have a secure job or something . You get used to living worried.
Luckily there is entertainment like TV series , video games and the internet to enter the world of fantasy. This helps to escape the real world which is getting worse . You work , live in a crappy place , eat bad food and escapes to a place that entertains you and makes you forget the reality .
Why feel bad you enter more and more into the " comfort zone " and this place keeps getting smaller. All this leaves you feeling powerless , but do not worry . There are large organizations and their government to make you feel part of something , something bigger and stronger , you only need to pay to be part of it .
Slowly the forces in power do the normal man becomes weak . So weak that the revolution becomes a very distant idea . The life was sucked out of normal people even before they realize what happened .
The crisis has already begun , the @ ! # " # Has hit the fan for many but they do not know and may never know .
Wake up, go out and smell the real world, I bet if you smell it , you will be able to see if you have been looking for the right one .
My time at war , my crisis was so horrible ... But it was also a real experience . Wars are happening around the world , economies are falling , new forces are emerging ... And you can say that has happened before and will happen again . You will surely be right .
Do not think war is the only way to fight for survival . The forces in power are smart and do not need to rape anyone can be forcibly drugged them and have them do what they want .
This is simple common sense.
The question is how long can they let the masses drugged before they wake up and realize the abuse ?
This is what I see happening in the future. The forces in power keeps people drugged , fed and in the fantasy world ( entertained ) and they do not realize what is happening until one day they wake up .
This can not happen in our lifetime , and if it happens the masses will be too weak to do anything . Only if something goes wrong , the powers make a mistake or nature strikes , then yes we will have a complete chaos overnight .
Otherwise we will have a slow decline to the point of complete anarchy .
If you have been thinking of moving to the countryside to do it today, not tomorrow . If you have thought of forming a group of trainers in your area , do it today and not tomorrow .
