Guys, I'm scared. I really am. Please help.

Trust me, it's bad. If you aren't paranoid, you haven't been paying attention. Google Naomi Wolf's '10 steps to fascism'.

She makes some good points, but sometimes they are over the top. Bush is not a fascist. If you say he is, then you don't really know fascism.

No, it isn't that bad, and that's not what the OP said, the issue is the road were going down. America is no longer the land of the free that it was just a short 20 years ago. Where will we be in 10 more years?

I agree freedom under the Bush administration has eroded, which is why we support Ron Paul. But we are in no way fascist. If we were Ron Paul couldn't run for president and you most likely would be in jail.
 
Technically, not fascist...but Ron Paul runs, and he suffers a biased media which, for the want of our support, would have already thrown him to the curb.

I'd say a fascist state masquerading as a non-fascist state :/
 
I've been following the erosion of liberty for almost over 2 years now.

But then I watched Naomi Wolf's recent speech about the 10 steps of fascism.... and how our country has practically completed all of them to varying degrees.

I'm scared guys, I really am.

Don't be. Look at it like this. Tomorrow, next week, or next month, it is MUCH more likely that everything will go to hell because of a natural disaster.

Prepare the same way. You mostly need food, water, weapons, and a plan. Where would you go if you need to abandon your residence? What would you take? How would you get there?
 
Nicketas,
Turn your FEAR to RAGE.
Get fed up with it and FIGHT every step of the way.
It is our only option at this point, the days of civil laziness are over.
No longer can we rest on the assumption that 'it cant happen here', it CAN.
I'm scared too, so are we all, all we can do is fight the good fight, and hedge ourselves financially and logistically.
I have awakened members of my family to the possibility of tyranny and financial ruin, they ask me what to do, I reply:
1 - campaign actively for Ron Paul
2 - Own precious metals
3 - Have food and water reserved in your home
4 - obtain the means to protect yourself and your property
God bless us all!
 
It sounds like you hit the moment that I did about 15 years ago.

When I was growing up/teenager I thought my parents, esp. my mom were "worry-warts" and borderline conspiracy theorists.

Then I read the Communist Manifesto and the ten steps for turning a free society into a Communist country. I went down the list and saw that most of them had been accomplished in this country, and most of them had been accomplished in the last 50 years.

I had my "OMG" moment when I went from not believing in the threat to feeling we had already lost the battle.

I read (Lenin or Stalin) outlining a plan for socialism to take over the world, and that the US would not be taken by force of arms, but overcome from within. I saw that everything worldwide had gone according to plan.

Thankfully since then I have found out it is not too late. There are a LOT of people who feel the same way, people who have stockpiled food and prepared places of refuge with guns and ammo.

Thankfully, those we fight against are mostly cowards. they have no problem sending others to fight in wars but the fact that they might actually be endangered at any time terrifies them. The fact that Ron Paul has highlighted how many of us there are who believe in freedom and are willing to fight for it - win or lose I believe his candidacy alone is setting plans back years. Of course another outcome could be that "they" decide that they have to act now before our r3VOLution grows even bigger.

The best way to fight your fear is to have a plan.
 
Seriously, we should get a list of everyone that's stockpiling and preparing. If and when the shit hits the fan.......organization will be key.

Course, it will have to be as secret as hell. If it got out.....everyone on the lists would be "terrorists" by midnight.
 
I just want to be left alone.

Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad.
You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, Goddamnit! My life has VALUE!'
 
Psychological help: This might not seem immediate to the situation, but your state of mind really matters.

1. Eliminate the fear in your mind. Fear is the result of you creating a problem with something that might happen in the future. The sooner that you come to terms with what is going to happen, the better. 'Coming to terms' does not mean just live with it, it means eliminate the fear in your mind so you can more efficiently work to prepare yourself. Instead of viewing it as the end of the world, look at it as a chance for revolutionary glorious changes. Is American culture all that great today anyways? I say bring on the changes, lets rid America and the world of parasitic fascists and create a new.

2. Know thy self. Most people think knowing themselves is knowing their life situation. How much money they have, the people they know, their hobbies. But really I mean know yourself on a deep spiritual level. This can put you in a confident and efficient state of mind.

All good advice, EXCEPT the turn your fear into rage part.

You cannot eliminate fear by magically transforming it into rage... Anger is just a slightly altered form of fear, and 9 times out of 10 will cause people to be irrational and inefficient.

Say for example a group of people were to take up arms against the government TODAY. They would just be to squashed, as they would be to little in number. The MSM and Bush administration would use their rebellion as an excuse to incite more fascist policies.

What would be better is: Develop aware communities, stay peaceful but work to prepare for anything. Spread awareness across the country. Ron Paul's grass roots support is a good example of this, we are reminding Americans of liberty and the constitution and sending a clear message to the MSM and gov.

There is power in numbers, we can wake up Americans much more efficiently when we are not fearful and rage full. Let meaning, and your core presence of being empower you to act.

do the above things, but visualize the world, our world, your world the beautiful way you want it to be, and it will be.
otherwise, if you visualize it as being the wrong ways, it could be that way.
what i mean is, there is probably truth in what people say about the power of creative thought, so, while working to help prevent the wrong things happening, picture the perfect,wonderful world you wish for.

picture Ron Paul as President too
 
Don't be scared, Be Prepared.

Bump :D

@Nicketas, althogh your post is a few weeks old, I still feel it is worth addressing. Fear is a tool that politicans use to control people. I think we all understand what you are feeling, but the thing is that you dont have to isolate yourself from the rest of the world just because you found out how bad of a place it really is. There are people like yourself, like me and just about everyone that frequents these forums. It is ok to be afraid, to some extent we all are, just dont let the fear control you.

You only truly fail when you give up.

For evil to win, all a good man has to do is nothing.
 
I got tired of being scared a long time ago. Without great detail involved I will say this...........

I'm too pissed off to be scared! Once you let a bully know your scared. He's gotcha! Break his nose and fight like hell....even if he ends up on top. He'll never mess with you again. He'll leave you alone. Bullies want victims. Don't be a victim of anything or anybody. Even if you are scared! Don't show it! Get pissed off! Fight! With words, the law....whatever it takes. If they think that they will not prevail in court, or on the street. Or on my property. They will think twice. Don't be THEIR victim!

They have usurped our rights, Violated their own law, oaths, rules and the constitution. They have done evil things in the name of country. I'm a stubborn old coot and proud to be. I want peace. I hope Ron Paul will save this country and peace will prevail. I pray for a non-violent revolution.

If someone comes to take my guns, gold, life, limb. Hurt my family.....Take what is rightfully mine........ They will have to reach through a pile of their own dead bodies to get to it.

As long as they know that.......... They will be the ones that are scared.

Not us. ;)

Get food, water, supplies, guns ammo and a network of friends you can depend on. Pray for the best. Expect the worst. You should be too busy to be scared.
 
I hope the primaries go well.

Yeah, me too. I've been trying to tell people, don't panic if he doesn't do well in the first few. But now that it's so close I'm starting to get nervous. I soooo wish I could be in Iowa... or New Hampshire.

Doing something - anything - would be better than sitting here feeling helpless, kwim?
