SOLS GUARDISTO VISION REVISITED

This has been on my mind as of late. Sols is just one of several sources of the prophetic utterances talking of massive race rioting on the American continent. I think of Joseph Smith who said the second Civil War would start in Chicago in what (was then) a very small town (smaller than Nauvoo at the time, where the statement was uttered), but would then grow into a large city and would be the source of the beginning of the conflict that would embroil America. I have driven in West Chicago and was appalled at the conditions of the people and the vastness of the ghettos. I was told by a friend that South Chicago down into Gary, Indiana was far worse than West Chicago - and the thought was sobering. People who have nothing to lose due to poverty and the lack of opportunity (whatever the source) will finally have all they can take and just break out at the first provocation. We are seeing a fore-taste of it with the vigilante/self-defense killing of Treyvon Martin in Florida.

We are sitting on a powder keg - and it could blow at any time. And I am not just talking about race relations. I am talking about the Middle East and a whole host of situations, folks. The little Dutch boy is stuffing his finger in the hole in the dike - but the leak appears to be getting bigger and full tide is coming in.....

I would have said the same thing, had I been aware of the situation in 1968 - and here we are 48 years later - but something has got to give.....

Here is a snippet of the Sols vision from the Cardston Temple:

I saw the international world war automatically break down, and national revolutions occur in every country and complete the work of chaos and desolation. I saw geological disturbances occur, which helped in this work as if it were intended to do so. I saw the Cardston Temple preserved from all this geological upheaval. I saw the international boundary line disappear as these two governments broke up and dissolved into chaos. I saw race rioting upon this American continent on a vast scale.

I saw hunger and starvation in this world granary of the American continent sweep off vast numbers of the conflicting elements. I saw disease produced by hunger, strife, and chaos complete the end of this present order or epoch…"

So, how is that food storage coming along??

PRICE OF WHEAT WILL SKYROCKET THIS YEAR

I am over in Montana right now setting up our next situation. In the local rag, the headline article declares that rust is invading the local crops (and across the US) due to a wet spring. One of the local farmers in the valley says that this is the worst he has seen it in the 25 years he has been wheat farming.

This is one of the signs that Bishop John Koyle said would happen the year of the total collapse (where there wouldn't be any financial institutions left).

This rust fungal infestation on top of our existing 30% increase in prices YOY, will cause a spike on top of a spike - which ultimately will lead to food riots in most third world nations. And then after our collapse, in our third world nation....

What I am trying to say is GET YOUR FOOD STORAGE NOW!!!

PREPARING FOR STORMY WEATHER AHEAD

I just talked to my friend from Church tonight before coming in for work. He is one who is awake and walking a very interesting walk to prepare for what is coming. I have never seen the kind of faith the he and his supportive companion are experiencing. He quit his job cold-turkey and made a jump into the dark to pursue direction that he was receiving from the Spirit. I have been at a loss to explain their actions - but then realized that they know more than I have in the past - even though they may not fully comprehend their future, they know that God knows the beginning from the end and that they just need to follow the promptings of the Spirit. He mentioned that he has also had a dream of an impending earthquake and that he was given instructions on how to mitigate its effects.

I have told him that I would like he and his wife to raise our children if there were ever anything to happen to my wife and I. We feel they are easily of a terrestrial nature. I just need to somehow get them up to speed on the nature of the doctrines about what is coming shortly to pass. I think they will see things clearly once they have the vision that Eliza R Snow was given. The more good people you surround yourself with, the better chances you have of threading the needle. The Lord will provide miracles commensurate with the level of faith and diligence. I have such a strong witness of that principle.

So, there are many others out there who are expectantly watching and waiting - and I am heartened and pray for them. One of them is my old mission companion, David Christenson whom I have featured before on this blog with some of his videos. I watched this one and it sent a thrill through me in light of what recently felt is coming:

My only regret is that he did not go back further and get quotations talking of a 7 year food storage, then the 2 year, and dovetail it in with the Pres Benson quote of a one year store and then the latest which is basically 'just get something!!!'.

May we all feel the urgency of our situation - the children and innocents will suffer for our lack of concern. And we ultimately will pay for that indolence as we are weighed in the balance.

ECONOMIC COLLAPSE, FAMINE, SOCIAL COLLAPSE

Boy, am I ever antsy after seeing how hard of a winter we have been through and watching the farmer down the road finally getting ready to break ground for planting on June 1st instead of the end of the usual April, due to the late and severe weather. Metals prices and food prices sky-rocketing. Things are just running out of control. I think we may be in the middle of it according to the words of Bishop John Koyle. He had the gift - and I will laugh at all the naysayers (I suppose including some in church leadership) that slapped him down all those years ago. He said there would be a harsh winter followed by a wet spring, followed by a harsh dry summer followed by the beginning of the famine. Right before that, the economic collapse would start. Considering that we had a 30-40% contraction in most of our major markets, I still maintain we are in the middle of the beginnings of a depression.....

However, immediately following the mild open winter, there would be a hot, dry summer. The crops would come up in the spring, and there would be considerable moisture, and the crops would be glorious (that is the word Bishop used to use.) He saw the wheat would grow up and head out beautifully, and the irrigated wheat would mature, but the dry land wheat would not have enough moisture to fill out. By harvest time the heads would curl over in a sort of crescent shape. This was shown to him in another dream wherein he saw he went into the wheat fields when they were binding the grain which looked like it would be a splendid crop. He picked up a bundle of wheat by the binding twine, and the head's end of the bundle came up with the butt end of the bundle hanging down because it was heavier. Realizing that the head end should have gone down if there had been good wheat in it, he examined the heads of wheat by crushing them in his hands to bring out the kernels. He found that the wheat was terribly shrunken and not fit for food. He was told by the messenger that this condition would bring about a shortage of food during the first year of harvest.
The second year he was shown would be the same only much less food raised. Still, the irrigated grain would be good. He was told we would need to store up the first and second years grain to supply food for the third and fourth years. The third year the shortage would be so great that there would hardly be anything raised for food. The fourth year they would not be able to raise anything for food.
He was shown in another dream that during the fourth year there would be plenty of money to buy food and he with others went up and down throughout the country seeking to buy food and they could not buy any. Any people who had a little food would not sell it at any price. During this time of famine there would be no rain to do any good. He saw the clouds would come up, and it would look like it was going to rain, but a wind would come up and blow the clouds away; and if there was any rain at all, it was just a few drops which were not sufficient to do any good.

I have seen basic grain prices skyrocket 30% or more in the last year. Get your food stored up and sit back and enjoy the ride. THIS OR THE NEXT FEW YEARS IS PROBABLY IT!!

50 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE

Definitely worth passing along. If you have not felt it, you will soon enough. If you do not have food storage and your spiritual and financial houses in order, I pity you. No one will be left unaffected - this is it.

Do your research on this stuff if you do not believe it:

LAST CALL FOR FOOD STORAGE

Well, not to sound too alarmist here, but if you have a cash reserve and are watching inflation eat away at it and you are watching food prices begin to rise out of control, you will know that what I have been saying for years now is beginning to be in full effect.

I have said there would be an economic collapse followed by a 40% drop in housing values, the dollar's value sinking and hyper-inflation setting in until rioting and mass discontent has taken hold generally as a fallen (spoiled) people is pushed well out of their comfort zone. Oil prices will rise until you are not able to stand it any more.

Civil war comes next followed by "peace keeping" troops on our soil which brings about the beginning of the real woes for our good Christian friends. Many will lose their heads to our Chinese foes. After a year of hell on earth, there will be a massive disaster that will be well beyond our ability to fully comprehend which will suddenly cause the foreign troops to dissipate - but not before the US loses well over 70% of her population in the purge orchestrated (allowed to happen)by an angry God.

From that point forward, things will begin to get better as we begin the 220 year grind towards full millennial glory and rebuilding and restoration that will need to take place in order to have true peace on our world. There are alot of steps I have left out - but the most important thing short term is to have food and plenty of it. I am going down to drop at least $2000 into more wheat at the local food pantry. I am not kidding around here - we are riding into the howling winds of the perfect storm..... May God help all those who are helping themselves and their families do what is right!

TOUGH TIMES - HOW TO "GIT 'ER DONE", 1870'S STYLE

ANYONE THAT KNOWS ME WELL KNOWS THAT I JUST CONVERTED AROUND $40K OF MY "FOUR OH-OH NONE" OKAY.... INTO SOMETHING THAT CAN BE USED TO GET BY ON.

SHAWNA AND COMPANY WAS QUITE ASTOUNDED AT HOW QUICKLY I COULD BLOW THAT MUCH CASH ON "THE GOOD STUFF" - THE STUFF I ALWAYS WANTED TO GET BUT NEVER HAD THE IMPETUS TO STEP UP AND INVEST IN. LIKE I HAVE ALWAYS SAID, "THE ONLY GOOD THING A GREENBACK WILL BE WORTH ONE DAY IS TO WIPE YOUR POSTERIOR OR AS A FIRE STARTER." I THINK THAT DAY IS EITHER HERE OR FAST APPROACHING.....

SO I CONVERTED GREENBACKS TO USEFUL ASSETS. THIS SURVIVAL SITE PUTS TOGETHER A NICE LIST OF THE USEFUL TANGIBLES. THINGS THAT CAN BE USED TO GROW A GARDEN, HEAT A LIVING SPACE, GET FUEL, STAY WARM, KEEP FROM GETTING SICK, STAY WARM WHEN OUTDOORS IN ADVERSE WEATHER, AND PICK OFF A VARMINT OR TWO (OR 12,000) TO GET SOMETHING FOR THE POT '0 STEW....

MY MORE TREASURED ITEMS INCLUDES A PORTABLE (80LB) CAMP STOVE WITH A 3 GALLON STAINLESS STEEL WATER JACKET, TWO SOLAR OVENS, TWO PORTABLE CAMP OVENS THAT I CAN USE TO BAKE FOUR LOAVES OF BREAD ON THE TOP OF THE PORTABLE CAMP STOVE, TWO GERMAN CROSS-CUT TWO MAN SAWS FOR BUCKING LOGS INTO FIRE WOOD AND ALL OF THE TOOLS USED IN "ALONE IN THE WILDERNESS" TO MAKE A MORE PERMANENT SHELTER. THE GOAL IS TO HAVE APPROXIMATELY ENOUGH FOOD FOR UP TO SEVEN YEARS (STARTING SMALL IF YOU ARE NOT THERE YET MAY BE TOO LATE - BUT PRAY ABOUT IT AND FIND OUT FOR YOURSELVES FOR YOUR INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES). IT MAY BE TIME TO THINK QUITE BIG AND ACT QUICKLY....

SILVER/GOLD ALSO COMES IN HANDY AS A BARTER ITEM UNTIL FOOD BECOMES SO SCARCE THAT 'YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO TRADE A CAT FOR A PILE OF GOLD' TO LOOSELY QUOTE BRIGHAM YOUNG.

DOES IT SOUND LIKE I HAVE TOTALLY FLIPPED OUT?? I WOULD SAY YES. BUT THEN, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A VERY CONSERVATIVE GAMBLER (READ - NONE) AND I WILL LEAVE THE RISK TO OTHERS WITH MORE NERVES OR STUPIDITY. JUST TO ILLUSTRATE, I LOST A WHOPPING 1% IN THE LAST 2 YEARS OF "DOWN JONES" NIGHTMARE (MOSTLY ON SOME BOEING STOCK...), WHILE MOST OF MY COMPADRES LOST ON THE ORDER OF 40%. THIS IS PRECISELY WHY I STILL HAD SOMETHING LEFT TO INVEST IN A FEW TANGIBLES....

LIKE I HAVE BEEN ASKING PEOPLE LATELY, "HOW IS YOUR FOOD STORAGE?". I HAVE FINALLY PUT MY MONEY WHERE MY MOUTH IS AND MADE BETTER THAN MY USUAL RESPONSE OF "YEAH, I PROBABLY HAVE AROUND 3 MONTHS WORTH...".

MY GREATEST MOTIVATION IS HAVING SEEN SUFFERING CHILDREN IN BRAZIL. I DO NOT WANT TO PUT MY OWN IN THAT SITUATION DUE TO MY OWN LACK OF CONCERN. I CANNOT THINK OF A GREATER PERSONAL HELL THAN WATCHING MY OWN PROGENY SUFFER - WHEN I COULD HAVE HEEDED THE SIMPLE WHISPERINGS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND JUST GOOD OLD FASHIONED COMMON SENSE.

AT SOME POINT I WILL GET TOGETHER SOME DIGI PICS AND DO SOME NICE YOUTUBES OF THE WHOLE ASSEMBLED PILE OF STUFF TO GIVE A FLAVOR OF WHAT I HAVE DONE. IT WILL GO ON A SEPARATE "SURVIVALIST BLOG" CALLED "SURVIVIN' IN THE WOOD" - FOR ALL YOU WILD-EYED END TIMERS LIKE ME....

PREPAREDNESS QUOTES

THOUGHT THESE WERE GREAT AND TOO GOOD NOT TO PUT ON THE BLOG.


"And the time will come, when we shall find ourselves restricted, and when it will be very important indeed for us to patronize home productions, and cease sending our millions abroad for importations, for the gate will be shut down, and circumstances will be such that we cannot bring things from abroad; and hence, the necessity of the exhortation that we have received from time to time, to engage with all our hearts in the various branches of industry necessary to make us self-sustaining and to carry them out with all the tact and wisdom which God has given to us, that we may become free and independent in all these matters, free before the heavens, and free from all nations of the earth and their productions, so as being dependent upon them is concerned.” Orson Pratt 1875

“I ask you earnestly, have you provided for your family a year's supply of food, clothing, and where possible, fuel? The revelation to produce and store food may be as essential to our temporal welfare today as boarding the ark was to the people in the days of Noah.” Ezra Taft Benson 1987

“I stand before the Church this day and raise the warning voice. It is a prophetic voice, for I shall say only what the apostles and the prophets have spoken concerning our day. ...It is a voice calling upon the Lord's people to prepare for the troubles and desolations which are about to be poured upon the world without measure. For the moment, we live in a day of peace and prosperity but it shall not ever be thus. Great trials lie ahead. All of the sorrows and perils of the past are but a foretaste of what is yet to be. And we must prepare ourselves temporally and spiritually.” Bruce R. McKonkie 1979

“The counsel to have a year's supply of basic food, clothing, and commodities was given fifty years ago and has been repeated many times since. Every father and mother are the family's store keepers. They should store whatever their own family would like to have in the case of an emergency...store a year's supply...that might keep us form starving in case of emergency.” James E. Faust 1986

“We feel the need to emphasize with greater clarity the obligation for members of the Church to become more independent and self reliant.” Gordon B. Hinckley 1983

“On the average, about 30 percent of the church has a two-month supply of food. The remainder have little or none...become self-sufficient as possible to prepare against the days to come.” Bishop H. Burke Peterson 1975

“Too often we bask in our comfortable complacency and rationalize that the ravages of war, economic disaster, famine, and earthquake ... cannot happen here. Those who believe this are either not acquainted with the revelations of the Lord, or they do not believe them. Those who smugly think these calamities will not happen, that they will somehow be set aside because of the righteousness of the Saints, are deceived and will rue the day they harbored such a delusion. The Lord has warned and forewarned us against a day of great tribulation and given us counsel through His servants, on how we can be prepared for these difficult times. Have we heeded His counsel?” Ezra Taft Benson 1980

“The kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God on the earth will be combined together at Christ's coming - and that time is not far distant. How I wish we could get the vision of this work, the genius of it, and realize the nearness of that great event. I am sure it would have a sobering effect upon us if we realized what is before us.” Gordon B. Hinckley 1992

“Many more people could ride out the storm-tossed waves in their economic lives if they had their year’s supply of food … and were debt-free. Today we find that many have followed this counsel in reverse: they have at least a year’s supply of debt and are food-free.” Thomas S. Monson 2001

“A great many have taken this counsel, and they are prepared...Who is deserving of praise? The persons who take care of themselves, or the ones who always trust in the great mercies of the Lord to take care of them? It is just as consistent to expect that the Lord will supply us with fruit when we do not plant the trees; or that, when we do not plow and sow and are saved the labor of harvesting, we should cry to the Lord to save us from want, as to ask Him to save us from the consequences of our own folly, disobedience and waste..."The Lord has said, 'Gather and save the produce I put within your reach, and prepare against a day of want.” Brigham Young

“Will you be slack, brethren, and let the evil come upon us, when we forewarn you of the future events that are coming;... We are telling of what the prophets have said-of what the Lord has said to Joseph. Wake up now, wake up, O Israel, and lay up your grain and your stores. I tell you that there is trouble coming upon the world...” Heber C. Kimball

For the righteous, the gospel provides a warning before calamity, a program for the crises, refuge for each disaster... The Lord has warned us of famines, but the righteous will have listened to the prophets and stored at least one year's supply of survival food...” Ezra Taft Benson 1973

“The little gardens and a few trees are very valuable. I remember when the sisters used to say, `well, but we could buy it at the store a lot cheaper than we could put it up.' But that isn't quite the answer, is it, Sister Spafford? Because there will become a time when there isn't a store.” Spencer W. Kimball 1974

“Lay up your stores, and take your silks and fine things and exchange them for grain and such things as you need and the time will come when we will be obliged to depend upon our own resources.; for the time is not far distant when the curtain will be dropped between us and the United States. When that time comes, brethren and sisters, you will wish you had commenced sooner to make your own clothing. I tell you God requires us to go into home manufacture; and prolong it as much as you like, you have got to do it.” Heber C. Kimball

“We encourage families to have on hand this year's supply and we say it over and over and over, and repeat over and over the scripture of the Lord where He says, `Why call ye me, Lord, and do not as I say?'... We also hope that you are maintaining your year's supply of food, clothing, and where possible, some fuel and cash savings.” Spencer W. Kimball 1976

“Let every head of every household see to it that he has on hand enough food and clothing, and, where possible, fuel also, for at least a year ahead” J. Reuben Clark 1937

“Should the Lord decide at this time to cleanse the Church .. a famine in this land of one year's duration could wipe out a large percentage of slothful members, including some ward and stake officers. Yet we cannot say we have not been warned.” Ezra Taft Benson 1965

“Noah heeded God’s command to build an ark...that they might be saved from the floodwaters…Yet there was no evidence of rain and flood…His actions were considered irrational…The sun was shining and life moved forward as usual. But time ran out…The floods came, the disobedient were drowned… When God speaks and we obey, we will always be right.” Thomas S. Monson 2002

"Thus, clearly the Lord has placed the responsibility for directing the work of gathering in the hands of the leaders of the church to whom He will reveal His will where and when such gatherings would take place in the future. It would be well before the frightening events concerning the fulfillment of all God's promises and predictions are upon us, that the saints in every land prepare themselves and look forward to the instruction that shall come to them from the First Presidency of this church as to where they shall be gathered and not be disturbed in their feelings until such instruction is given to them as it is revealed by the Lord to the proper authority." Harold B. Lee (Improvement Era, June 1948, page 320)

"It may be, for instance, that nothing except the power of faith and the authority of the priesthood can save individuals and congregations from the atomic holocausts that surely shall be. And so we raise the warning voice and say: take heed; prepare; watch and be ready. There is no security in any course except the course of obedience and conformity and righteousness." Bruce R. McConkie (Conference report, April 1979, pages 132-133)
