Glenn Beck: Will you be a burden or a shelter?

In between his pieces on George Soros, Glenn Beck has been sounding the warning gongs for quite a while about this.  Personally, we intend to be a shelter.

Glenn Beck: Will you be a burden or a shelter?

November 15, 2010 - 14:14 ET

GLENN: This is one of those things I ask you to go with me on but I want to talk to you about a real change of course and a real direction. I believe that I have hit my maximum footprint. We have about 30 million people that listen and watch and read every single month. We have 30 million people within the Glenn Beck footprint. That's one tenth of the American population. I have been telling you that these things were coming. I have been ringing the bell as hard as I can. I have pledged my life, my fortune and my sacred honor over the last five years, and you have, too. And you have been here. And last hour I did an opening monologue and tonight we'll show you the video. It is, it's stunning. It's stunning what happened just over the weekend, the things that we have said were coming are now here. And I have been thinking lately about, you know, where do I go from here. And where I go from here is grassroots. Where I go from here is, quite honestly, away from New York City. Where I go from here is into real life. I am the answers don't lie in New York City, they don't lie in Chicago, they are not in Washington, D.C. They are at your home and your town hall and your community. They life within your own life.

The piece is a transcript from earlier this week.  http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/48120/

So, which are you going to be--a burden to someone, or a shelter to someone?

Right now I am in between, but closer to being a shelter.  I used to be a burden.  My plan is to be a shelter.  But not for just anybody.

You're too much in the city. I'd find a place a ways away to hide out and bunker down.......

I have one of those, in an undisclosed location.     Right now, I am just trying to acquire supplies to be a contributing member of the shelter. 

[Thor]

I wish I had the $$ to "de-hillify" the hill we're on and also to build a better shelter than what the house is.  Tornadoes aren't a big concern down here in the Red River Valley, BUT..... it would be nice to have some decent, protective storage on premises. Digging down to build something is not a good option here because we're on top of an old rock quarry.

[Carl]

If today would be a shelter but would need an all hands on deck approach from all involved.

Everyone needs to think about what this means under the assumption of no civil society,makes for interesting conversation but is an ugly picture.

[Evil_Conservative]

A shelter.

For our family of three. 

I'll be going to the grocery store later to see how bad inflation has hit so far.  If I'm not online tonight, just assume I had a heart attack.

[Carl]

Btw all...I can make wine. 

[Thor]

But can you make beer or whiskey?? 

[BlueStateSaint]

But can you make beer or whiskey??  

Even though I've been sober over a year, I still have the stuff to make beer.  Figured that it would come in handy.

[Carl]

But can you make beer or whiskey?? 

Yes I have and can make beer but it is from purchased kits.
That is the thing everyone has to remember,to do this stuff you have to have the ingredients.

I have the raw materials to make wine (fruits,flowers,berries) but it is a lot more then that,you need the proper yeast,sugar and other things.
That stuff doesn`t appear out of no where so everyone has to remember being an island to themselves does not equal a paradise.
It is basic just beyond starvation survival and that isn`t quite as a nice a situation as some would think.

Now add to that a complete breakdown of civil order and you have starving,fleeing urbanites that will kill you for the tomatoes in your garden unless you kill them first and one can see what kind of real ugly and undesirable scene is painted.

In essence very large groups would have to amass to form a country of sorts,anyone thinking they can live in a post USA anarchist world alone comfortably is deluding themselves.

Not meaning to brag or anything.....BF is a GABF winning brewer.  He can make anything, including soda.     With that being said, our bugout involves a place with friends in the country, that already have a farm established, and are working on shelter, for more people, for that reason.  My goal is to stock up and educate myself in skills (aside from shooting) that would be something necessary and useful. 

[DumbAss Tanker]

A 'Defended location,' and if'n I don't know you, you'd better stay the **** out of rifle range.

Spokane was sparkling with light and still bustling when I looked out at it from a downtown building last night. So beautiful in the darkness. My thoughts went out to the hundreds of thousands of little children, women, grandmothers, grandfathers, boys, girls, and men those lights represented. Not just people – persons, each one unique, each with God’s calling on their lives for His purposes. Yet most of them are lost: hopelessly adrift in an empty, frantic, stupid, shallow culture of blindness and conformity and entertainment. Like the people of Jonah’s time they metaphorically don’t know their right hand from their left hand. They’re not so much like sheep anymore these days (I have sheep and know their nature), they’re more like stereotypical lemmings rushing to their mass suicide, in a million different ways.

 My heart goes out to them – there, but for the grace of God, go I. There are so many of them. Thankfully, interspersed among them are those who are good, who are strong, who are aware and informed, who can be counted on to rise to the occasion in a crisis. Many of these are already prepared for the spectrum of nation-destroying crises which loom ahead in the mist of time: EMP, pandemic, a New Madrid earthquake, mini-ice age, drought, nuclear terror, persecution and tyranny. And still more – you know the list...

 They – like my wife and I – have worked, studied, sacrificed, and planned so that their families will be shielded from the brunt of whatever comes that our sovereign God permits in these last days. Together we preppers are “brothers in arms” as it were, in this exceptional pre-crisis mobilization.
 
I’ve long pondered what my purpose in these days might be. And I’ve concluded that it’s not enough – for me, at least – to survive merely in order to survive another day. There must be a greater purpose. And so there is.

A few weeks ago our pastor shared this passage that held a vital insight for me: A person once asked Jesus, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘… you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’ The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.” – Mark 12:29-31 (NLT)

I'm not saying that just everyone should be saved, or helped--I'm certain that there will be some thought put into helping someone.  OPSEC is mentioned . . .
