Back from the cyber land of hate.
Posted: Mon Nov 05, 2012 11:00 amBrothers,
what a relief it is to glimpse thru the posts, there IS true cyber fellowship here.
i been "away" for a spell, another bro here, a while back told me of a prepper forum, that i might like. i went there, was a bit intrigued, signed on and started to post.
oh boy, what a ride. i TRY and treat everyone, especially on cyber platforms, as a child of God. i dont ALWAYS succeed, but i TRY. Participation on that forum was a TRUE test, as it seems to me people are just GRIPPED with fear and anger, rumors a-flying, just an ugly scene. i realize its coz people are scared, unsure of the future, because after a while, it seemed to me, that 97% of the folks, maybe 99, i dont know, were not REAL preppers, but folk that WANT to bug out, but cant....its rather sad.
plus, i'm a patriotic American, and while i dont like a lot of stuff i see going on, some these folks are writting stuff that borders on vociferous rebellion and sedition, and i like life on the down low. i'm not in the 'rebellion/sedition' crowd, i'm in the "hobbit" crowd, kinda like old "Bilbo".
the reason i wrote all this was to share with other stackers, what i found about the mindset of the "prepper", whether they be for real, or wannabe's, there is an actve pushback against including PM's, especially Ag (edit) in their prep's
yeh sure, they're all for the "3 B's" , beans bullets bandaids, but when i started writing as a "PM evangelist"...particularily Ag....holy cow! you would have thought i was some catholic priest suggesting you chain altar boys to the bunker wall....they just DONT BELIEVE stacking is wisdom, they dont believe in the concept of hard currency...MOST dont, to be fair. Even suggesting stacking "bricks of nicks"?....non starter.
and recently i was getting warnings that the 'man' has that site in their gaze, so i just demanded my profile be deleted, i cited concerns about my prior involvements, and that was that. PLEASE, for your sake, dont ask me the forum. One, i dont like to slander, gossip, and two, trust me, this is a nice cyber den of like minded individuals, who are sane (heee) and sober....you DONT need the aggravation, just coz i'm a friggin masochist.
i been nicely stacking thruout 12, got in on the Walking Liberty Roll craze (1940's BU's) at sane prices, more ASES', some 90% Kennedys, a sweet roll of my favorite Silver Ikes....no big deal, but the sweet thing is ....look how silver is just COILING in this band....i know it must drive you guys half crazy, but i'm telling ya, in the LONG RUN?....this horizontal banding action is the best possible thing to happen. The more suppression of the futures by God knows who, the bigger the bang, i still say, $70 first stop, then $130, then $250.
and one last thing.... i've noticed in the last month and a half, via Ebay, (yeh i know, but i like Ebay) is that i'm seeing sellers offer quality rolls, who i've NEVER seen before....this tells me something....what does it tell me?.....that people are sick of waiting for the "pop", and they either NEED or WANT FRN's badly...so they're throwing in the towel to an extent.
Happy pre-Thanksgiving to you all from the Great White North, neil
