As we enter a new year, 2016, I have no doubt that you all have your own personal concerns for what may be coming, and may be part of the reason for your own preparedness.
I have brainstormed a list of potential ‘concerns’ and ask that you participate in the following anonymous poll to select your own…
UPDATE: Poll closed.
The results are posted below from more than 600 people…
1. Assault on 2nd Amendment
2. Terrorism inside the U.S.
3. Illegal Immigration (ongoing thereof)
4. Obama’s final year filled with ‘transformation’ of America
5. Partial Economic Collapse
The possibility that Obama will somehow prevent the 2016 elections and institute his dictatorship.
@DaisyK… just added the selection. Thanks.
personally, I think he wants out. all the trips to hawaii & stuff. His ideas will live on no matter what. Why not get out & live off book tours & speaking engagements? I think it’s the next one who might be a problem
I think he also wants to get out. But for different reasons. I see him looking for bigger ways to screw us more like maybe Head of the UN or something along those lines.
Adapt and Overcome.
Like Baron B. H. Ostupid, the duplicate of George Soros that made money from stealing from his own ethnic group???
@DaisyK
You are not the only one on this. I keep telling my wife I won’t believe he is gone until I see it. I have feared this for the last couple years and the fact that the Dems can only produce three people even remotely interested in controlling the country to me is the biggest warning flag.
@ DaisyK, Ken, Northern Boy
I would agree on this, (but not my vote for most concerned). Here is something to think about though, if the Rep’s keep being stupid as usually with the inter-fighting and forcing a loss of the election, would you rather have Obummer stay or have Killery? Talk about a melt down…..
NRP
I think it’s fairly apparent where Obama’s career interests are for the future … how many times has he hit the talk shows … comedy shows … etc. He really plays up to the Hollywood scene.. No doubt there will be a movie about the Life and Times of the Obama President … and probably with him playing himself. I think he’s done an excellent job pretending to be a real president so he probably a shoe-in for the role.
Isn’t there clause that if we are in a war, we can’t change presidents?
No, but there is a clause that the President can declare a state of national emergency and the Congress has a certain time (I think it’s 90 days) to step on him. After that, if they can’t or don’t recind, he can stop elections until the emergency is over.
I am increasingly concerned about the media’s role in elections, as-well-as their role in stirring constantly the pot of racism in America. It is my opinion that the media has been controlling our elections by speading outright lying propagandas against canidates that lower and middle-class support. For example look at canidate Trump: 1. As soon as Trump said, “I want to pay more taxes because it will help America in so many ways” the media twisted a commit and made it seem as if he hates women. If you look at Trump’s plan it shows the opposite, infact it is proof that he will do more for women than any other canidate. 2. That work to turn women off, next they twist another commit made by Trump about illegal Latino immigrants and made him out to be a racist. If you watch CSPAN then you would know that testimony before Congress provide proof that Trump is 100% correct when he says, “Most of the illegal immigrants crossing the border are rapist, murders, gangsters, etc. Not all of them are bad but we have to do something about these bad dudes entering our country”. The media has withheld this information along with the fact that he repeatedly says “Not all of them are bad and we want them to come back legally”. They have also failed to inform the public that Congress has infact passed a bill to build a fence (ie. Wall) 3 times and it has been approved 3 times in the budget. Where’s the fence? For this matter, where did the money go? The fence (ie. Wall) has not been built and over 60% of the Mexico border is unsecured. The list goes on and on when it comes to Trump. These attacks are supported by the GOP. Why? One reason is that Trump has promised to investigate Congress for insider trading, providing protection to Wallstreet in the form of a bailout, stop wasteful spending, stop them from voting their own pay raises, and increase the top 1.5% taxes . The top 1.5% includes most of the House of Representatives and all the top media reporters. Of course they do not want you to know this. Then you would have to turn to the facts that Democrats cheated you by allowing illegal immigrants to get a DL in 12 states. How is this cheating? They did this to increase their votes after the Supreme Court ruled we cannot demand proof of citizenship during the voting as people come in to cast their vote. Thus, allowing millions of illegal immigrants access to cast their unlawful vote in our Presidential election. This ensures Trump will not win in these states. After this the GOP is not keeping their legal agreement with Trump that ensures their support should he win. Instead they began in on of they key states Virginia forcing Trump voters to take a Oath that they are Republicans or they cannot vote for Trump. How is this cheating?… Read more »
Proud to cast the 1st votes
Ken
you forget the check box for “All the Above” !!!
there’s a LOT going on in the world
ya gotta be able to walk,chew gum AND juggle chainsaws !
I suppose you’re right… there sure is a lot going on out there – especially recognized by those who can ‘see’. Plenty of reasons to prep for sure…
SB it’ll be a one and done !!!!
There all good reasons to be concerned.
Protect yourself and family first,then obama
and his family last.
Of all my concerns, the greatest is the attack on the second amendment. None of their other plans will go smoothly if they can’t remove weapons from the hands of us peasants.
I must agree! The 2nd Amendment Will come under attack so that the resistence to other rights being removed can go forward easier for this illegal Govt to take total control over us!! I think this action will happen very soon!! Most of the heavy fortified personel carriers, M RAPS have been dispersed through out the country within the last 45 days!!
Some have been transported via barge along the Intercostal Canal System at night so that they wouldn’t be seen as much as they would have if they had been sent via Interstate!!
Every major hub city has large lots located near a railroad/interstate system used as the unloading point for new vehicles from rail transport! These lots have razor wired chainlink fences. Be watchful of tour and/or school buses being parked there!!! If seen, its time to leave town!!
Stay Aware and Prep like Crazy NOW!!!!
this was the first one I clicked on also
Maybe peasants should be learning to make and use alternatives…..
@Ken,
When all the potential problems that we are looking at are listed in one place it is a real eye opener. From your list I can make one further observation. When the assortment of problems spans such a wide swath of the structure of society then “there is no one single simple solution”. Only some hellish catastrophe can reset or otherwise force the human race to fix what we have created. This event what ever it is – is going to get real ugly! Buckle your seat belt or should I say prep!
@No Joke,
I do agree with your sentiment.
There is an astounding divide in America which has been building for many years (for reasons that would require much more room than this post).
There are so very many serious and grim issues (many of which are apparently or seemingly ‘too far gone’ to fix) coupled with the ‘great divide’ in (philosophies?) – that one way or another we’re heading for some troubled times (at best) or tumultuous times which will challenge the core of every person regardless of their position…
I don’t like the relationship that TPTB have gotten this Country involved with in regards to the United Nations, Agenda 21 in particular. It does not matter what party (Democrat or Republican) is in office, we keep being lead down a road that was not intended by our founding fathers and our Constitution is further being destroyed by treaties and arrangements forced upon this Country through agreements made with the UN.
I am one who agrees with you on the separate party’s. I really don’t think it makes any difference which candidate is elected. All of them IMHO are just lap dogs of the Six Families who really control what is going on.
Okay who brought the tinfoil you all need hats.
I prefer a tinfoil helmet, thank you very much. Keeps the gubment mind rays from infiltrating mah brain.
@ Nihilist
Full body tin-foil suit, never go at something like this 1/2 azzed…. Full Coverage HAHAHA
NRP
And don’t forget this… the more layers of tinfoil, the better protected you are!
I line mine with duct Tape because I’m just that red neck
And cover it with a ghillie suit!!!
That’s when they use their microwave weapons on the populace and cook us from the inside… all part of their “Master Plan”!!!! P.S. Elvis says “Hi”
That’s an interesting concept. In the 1880’s the conspiracy theorists were saying that the gov’t would take over banking. In the early teens, bingo! In the 1920’s they were saying that the gov’t would take over education. Done. Healthcare. Done. Law Enforcement. Done. Welfare. Done.
Seems the “tin foil hat” conspiracy theorists have been right for hundreds of years.
The problem with “conspiracy” theories isn’t whether or not they will happen. It’s whether or not you agree with their goals, and that’s an entirely different animal.
@ Lauren
I wear my “tin-foil-hat” very proudly thank you very much. LOL
Since this is list week; Monetary/money system. Done. Tax Systems. Done. Food production/regulation/distribution. Done. Internet. Done. ALL public communications (radio/TV/etc.). Done. Roads. Done. Electrical systems. Done. Shipping. Done. Public Transportation. Done. Water/Sewer systems. Done. Court systems. Done. Building and construction regulations. Done. HELL even driving licenses and owning my friggen DOG for crying out loud. DONE!!!!!!!
Honestly is there really anything the .gov does NOT regulate and totally control?????? Think about it, heck now they even want to put a tax on my carbon and methane output…. HAHAHAHA And God only knows what will happen if this “Global Warming” gets out of hand, UGHHHHH
NRP-Full-Of-Methane
Brilliant! And let’s don’t strike a match in here :/
@NRP, Just dont give us a visual of the pressure guage & how they are measuring all that methane…..LOL
Loclyokel
I’m in real trouble if they tax me on methane output. That’s what my wife says anyhow.
You should have limited the number I could vote on to three or five or something, Ken. I kept having to go “Yep, dont like that *click* Don’t like that either *click* And that one *click* *click* *click* *click*”
I finally had to go back and limit myself a bit. :D
Not on the list: Trump or Hillary for that matter winning the election.
@MrSkeptical, it ‘sort of’ is on the list as “Negative Outcome Of Presidential Election” which would be relative to one’s own ideology…
Valid point Ken, thanks.
Thor, I’d vote for whoever makes the most sense no matter party affiliation. None for on dem side and very few on the rep one. I liked Lindsey Graham but he’s out now.
Lindsey Graham? This is the reason why were in such trouble. People blindly voting for someone simply because they have an “R” next to their name. I bet Paul Ryan gets re-elected, as did McConnell and the other traitors.
MrSkeptical,who would you vote for?
Mr. Skeptical –
Just wanted to be sure you aren’t getting your hopes up over the election. Case in point – the election of 2000 declared Bush the winner, even though he lost the popular vote. Yes, Gore won the popular vote. So, how could Bush be declared the winner if he LOST – ? It’s called “The Electoral College.” So, no need to concern yourself too much with the outcome of the election, it’s not a big deal.
Happily Prepping my beautiful garden today : )
1824-J.Q. Adams
1876-Hayes
1888-Harrison
All lost popular vote but “WON” anyway. Still feel it’s every citizens duty regardless of outcome. God Bless America!!!
I noticed one event listed can result in many cascades of others listed, so I tried to stick to the ones that start the rest.
I feel the biggest origin to most our problems is Socialism that has been creeping into our society since President Wilson and increased substantially with the big 0.
It caused overspending and humongous debt we can’t pay back, martial laws due to civil unrest, threat to our 2nd amendment, immigration problems, no economic recovery that leads to economic collapse and depression, globalization and loss of our sovereignty, assault on our 1st amendment and heck, the whole constitution, transformation, bank holiday, WW3, and just about every thing on your list except possibly grid failure.
One thing not mentioned is that the moral base of our country is being eroded–attack on anything Christian and the immoral indoctrination and influence of socialism on our children in schools and colleges. Our children are our future leaders and voters. Now can you envision what our country will be like, say in 30 years? As bad as it is now, I fear these troubled times will be the “Good Old Days.”
I can totally back this up. Kids are taught a one sided point of view in schools when it comes to socialism, they’re taught incredibly liberal and post-modern ideas and they’re brainwashed out of critical thinking. It’s disgusting to me. One of my teacher even said that truth is relative and that everything is up to your interpretation.
Might I also add that everyone is taught to rally behind the government and do whatever they say. If you don’t like it, well, suck it up because it’s a “democracy” and the majority has decided what to do.
Had a fun discussion with the son of my ultra-liberal sister. I asked him, if the gov’t told you to give all your food to help the poor, would you do it? He said “Absolutely.” “Then what if they took all the collected food and took it back to Washington to feed the politicians and their families?” “I’d go get it back.” “With what? They already took the guns.” You could almost see the wheels starting to turn.
@ Lauren
He said “Absolutely.”—- you have GOT to be friggen kidding me???
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!
NRP
He’s been raised to believe that the gov’t and the unions will take care of him. Coming face to face with reality is a shock for someone raised that way.
Complete Economic Collapse
Assault On 2nd Amendment
Increasing ‘Police State’ (and/or Federal Policing Integration)
Everything else, hinges on these three in my opinion
Hence, prepare for the worst and live for your best
If you carry, Carry On!
But “Assault on the 2nd” is part of the police state. This is a hard list to narrow down.
Ken, Thanks for your efforts in helping us be aware and providing this site!! I hope all of you will stay safe!! I’m leaving now while I still can for my BOL!!
God Bless ALL!!
Thanks… and be safe on your journey.
My biggest concern is God’s judgement upon this sinful nation.
I think everyone of these is a good possibility. Very good list KEN.
I only voted for 1.
Obama’s Final Year Filled With ‘Transformation’ Of America
I figured that pretty much covers all the others. With out his ‘Transformation’ for the last 7 years then many if not all of those topics would not even be listed.
Either way that list is pretty overwhelming. Makes you really think about your chances of survival if any or several of those topics come to fruition.
Adapt and Overcome.
It was/is interesting when reading the “list” and adding a few in my mind, I kept thinking, “ok what can I do to be ready for this or that”. With the two that I voted for (and a few that I thought up) are now my new goal to be working on to finalize what I’m prepping for. It’s a revamp of the “list” I came up with a few years back, and modified each year.
One thing I might add, exercises like this are good to refresh the thought process, but we all need to remember, we do “prep” and as such are still light-years ahead of those that don’t. Almost every one of the things on Ken’s list (and in my brain) can handled by just one thing. Start Prepping, no mater what you do or how much you try, you cannot prep for everything that “may” happen, so choose your route and your goal, work towards that and do what you can as you can.
But please, for those that don’t think it’s important to be ready or to “prep” just think about it for awhile, and talk to people, ask questions, decide for yourself if your family can “make it” for one month without any outside “stuff” or services. The list above is just a minute number of “things” that can happen in your life.
Be safe, and Merry Christmas.
NRP
There are 2 more scenarios I would put on the list Ken.
1 A nuclear attack directed at Yellowstone volcano.
2 An EMP followed by a delayed red dawn.
1 Was actually on a list of first strikes by Russia.
2 If I was going to attack America as a foreign power, its the way I would do it.
How about a small nuke on the fault line of the volcano on La Palma island in the Canary Islands. Experts say the solonic wave would take out the entire east coast including all of Florida.
@ cossack55
that same small nuke 300 miles over Kansas will take out 90% of the power grid….. Just saying
NRP
Lets just hope “they” don’t have two nukes.
if the pospotus doesn’t manage to pull off the “Obama Remains In Office (Supspension of the 2016 Presidential Election)” thing, I am *extremely* worried about the havoc that pos can do as he leaves office – enacting even more devastating executive actions with absolutely NO recourse.
It was his goal to “transform America” (read: destroy the United States as we know it). his work is almost complete.
I think I checked almost all the boxes. One event would cascade to others, and there are multiple things listed already in the beginning stages that if left unchecked would lead to an event.
This is a fabulous list. Many of the items feed into or overlap others, so it’s difficult to decide which is at the top of the hierarchy. For example, I didn’t choose the 2nd amendment (although I am very concerned on that score) because it’s included in socialism, police state, globalization and a couple others. Police state seems to cover it all, so I chose that one. Economic collapse includes currency devaluation, national debt, greater depression, and so on.
I would have preferred to check them all, but that would have defeated the purpose.
Lauren,the reason the score was so high is because Americans think Obama is going to try to ban firearms through executive orders. While the nation would not comply with that illegal action it is a threat of starting a civil war. There are so many states out there that are already violating the 2nd amendment. Shall not be infringed means nothing can restricted. Assault rifles as they would say,high capacity mags. Its all the bare minimum to protect and defend the country and the Constitution.
In life, there’s Talkers and there’s Do’ers.
Unfortunately, this nation (OUR Nation) has become the former.
Like it or not, we have become a Nation of Sheep.
What will it take to take back our government, which has become so totally corrupt, that it cares absolutely nothing for the governed, only for themselves ? The people who make the laws in this country, are not effected by the laws they pass and enforce. When will the people in this country (OUR Country) say, as the Israelis said after WW2, “SHEEP NO MORE” ?
@ Coronado
Honestly, I don’t believe I will see it in my lifetime…. and I’m 62.
The sheep are in power now, and as long as they get their free “stuff” why will it ever change?
NRP
The sheeple of Rome had bread and circuses, but they changed.
The sheep may be in power, but the dollar is worthless, at about 220 trillion in debt (yes 220 tri that is unfunded of about 19 tri and 200 unfunded, look at the National Debt clock) Trump is the only person running who will discuss it. So the point being people like Brutus Obama and his worshippers think stealing the bank and bankrupting the country will still allow them to live in wealth…..sorry Mr. Tyrant but when the ship goes down you are gone also.
@ Icecathook
I believe that is one of the major problems with the Sheeple, as long as they get their freebie stuff they don’t care.
Example if one (sheeple) has a free $10 in their pocket (or $10 of free credit) what difference if the loaf of bread cost $9 and cost $8 yesterday, they still get their bread free. While the “working” class pays for not only their loaf of bread I/we get to pay for theirs.
I, at times, do not think the .gov/money people will/can allow the economy to “crash” as long as they can keep printing worthless money/credit than why will it? Just look at the world markets, and look at ours. Most have had double digit losses, ours is still floating up there around 17,500ist. Pure nonsense.
As far as Killary or Trump, I don’t think it will make a difference who is in next, it will take decades to undo what O-shit has done. the World is now given up on the US being leaders, of the US being the “go-to” country, yes we are still in the forefront but not as we were 8 years ago. What is amazing to me is how just one person can destroy this great country in just 7 years. (Imagine what he will do in the next year) Choose the next leader well my friends, another 4-8 years of this and we will NOT survive as we once were.
NRP
@ Coronado
I don’t think you will see the people revolt until we reach Russia’s condition of a few years back. When our taxes are at a full 100 percent of our income, we all sit down at our jobs and do nothing but get drunk on Vodka(or moonshine), the basturds in charge quit giving the takers their daily handouts because of no production and the sheep finally get sufficiently hungry, then maybe you will see a civil war.
I feel we have gone too far already to turn back. When the takers outnumber the givers, society will collapse.
We have a few more years, taxes are ONLY in the neighborhood of 60 percent now. One or two more Democratic presidencies and we are toast. No Worries.
When they come for our guns, that will be the Tipping Point.
By surrendering (REGISTERING) our guns, we will finally have given up and given over!
@ WarVet
Who in the heck would ever “register” a gun????
Ohhhh that’s right, the sheeple
NRP
Or Canadians :(
@ Youngster
Opps, sorry, your still under the Kings Rule, sorry
NRP
Guns? Oh, I sold those things years ago. They were scary!
@ Nihilist
Liberal Sheeple outside, Patriot inside.
NRP
I find it extremely disturbing that all the major countries have lost double digits in the stock markets. For some reason the US has not had the same issue, with all the information I have read in the last several months. I now believe the Markets are all bull, and being kept afloat by key players for there own personal interests and gains. I feel a total melt down will send millions into despair and will cause major panic from within the US.
I agree Uncle B. The market has been being manipulated for a long time. Eventually the chickens will come to roost and all hell is going to break loose.
Adapt and Overcome.
They’re making money–why should they stop? They pull money out of the market, take out key players, incite a collapse and pile all that money back in when the collapse is as low as they want it to go. Buy low sell high ad nauseum, and they make money with every cycle.
What I think is interesting is that there’s always some rumor about a particular company or a particular stock that starts it all, and the financial planners in charge of billions of other people’s money always bite. Every time.
Just looked at the number of votes.
2359 votes cast from 242 voters.
Sounds like similar numbers from a district that voted for Obama in 04 & 08. Except half of the voters were no longer living. :)
Adapt and Overcome.
Just to clear it up, the ‘votes cast’ are the number of individual selections (you are allowed to vote for any or all of the listed selections for this particular poll) whereas the total number of voters, is the total number of voters…
I enjoyed your analogy though ;)
When you surrender your gun(s), you give up your God-given right to defend yourself, and you are now a servant, deservedly so.
My great fear is that Clinton has been preordained as the next president and we will hear “your sexiest if you disagree with her” just as we now hear you are racist if you disagree with the treasonous ass currently holding the presidency
@ Tnfarmer
Tis already a fact, Killery will be in.
Better already begin preparing for it….
NRP
I think you meant “sexist.” :)
Lauren thank you for correcting that. I had a very bad image pop into mind when TN said sexiest. Almost hurled.
TN I know that was a typo I have the same problem with auto correct.
That being said. I’m not 100% convinced that Hitlery will be the next president. I’m sure she will be the nomination. But I think she will be ripped apart by Cruz who will be the GOP nomination.
Adapt and Overcome.
I’m sorry, but I think you are wrong 11HE9. The powers that be don’t want someone in office with a brain, so I believe Hitlery will be it.
Your probably right Peanut but I hope and pray Hitlery does not get elected.
Adapt and Overcome.
Whoever wins the 2016 presidential election will be dealing with a single party in control of congress; the DemoRepublicratan party.
Oops, got to love me he auto fill. I most certainly meant sexist.
I thought it was great. The way it’s phrased, those who don’t agree with Billary are the sexiest. :)
I have been saying for almost 2 years that something will happen in 2016, a false flag event, massive rioting in many cities, terrorist attacks and Obama will declare martial law, and bring in UN troops to support the police that the Blacks don’t trust. And I have an email from the Stansbury digest on the upcoming financial collapse.
Christmas 2015: Will Syria & Iraq Become Washington’s Stalingrad?
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-12-22/christmas-2015-will-syria-iraq-become-washingtons-stalingrad
“Our foreign policy is designed to perpetuate the failing petrodollar system”
“I hope I’m wrong but I fear Washington is trying to provoke a war in the Middle East to cover the coming collapse of the Petrodollar system and the American economy when the dollar is no longer the world reserve currency. The war is necessary to blame the coming dollar and debt collapse on Russia and China rather where it belongs on Wall Street, the central banking cartel and Washington political establishment”
the American empire is in an irreversible state of collapse
it won’t go belly up overnight
the process may well take decades
but it is WELL underway
expect desperate men to start doing some VERY desperate things
Since you all voted 2nd Amendment taken down as the top event, I take your expertise seriously. Do love the sense of humor here, though. All these grim events –we have to laugh just to keep our sanity.(or drink) Meanwhile, prep like mad because it’s going to be a wild year. Agree with Uncle B, economy is propped up by the Powers-That-Be and it’s a house of cards. As for Paul Ryan’s beard, don’t think he has time to shave any more. Too busy selling us out. Either that or he’s going hipster.
It didn’t take too long for the 2nd amendment threat to come forward. Obama’s puppet governor of South Carolina has declared all state property gun free zones and has castrated concealed carry rights. Sarcastic statement begins here: Both of course have been areas where terrorists and gun violence has been rampant- end of sarcastic statement.
My mistake, I meant Virginia, not South Carolina. sorry.
Just an observation of S.C. state flag…crescent moon and a palm tree. Maybe I’m looking too much into the symbolism. Like I said just an observation.
I find it funny that Obama remaining in office is so high on the list. Many of the things below it are more likely.
Thank you Ken, I really appreciate this list. It made me realize why I am so bent on prepping. I work and prep.
Mary Christmas!
