Redneck Review!
No. 204 - 2/25/2019
The clock is ticking!  The day is ever closer!  Much like the day before the Japanese invaded Pearl Harbor, 12/7/1941, or terrorist airplanes struck the Twin Towers in New York, 9/11/2001, or even the stock market crash in October, 1929,  Americans might be well advised to avoid being blindsided again!  It is common knowledge that the day before each event above, most people in this country had no clue that disaster was about to strike the very next day!
So it might be asked, could such a similar disaster strike the United States in the near future? What percentage of citizens would be adequately prepared?  Also, it might be asked, can the average citizen do anything to ward off a potential event like those mentioned above? It is the purpose of this RNR to explore the possibility that a similar disaster could occur, and what, if anything, a single individual might do to prevent or prepare should it happen!
To begin, what are legitimate threats that could change our lives drastically and dramatically? 
1) Physical:  It is no secret that enemies of ours around the world would love to launch a knock out blow to our country!  We hear repeatedly that our electric grid could be reduced almost to nothing by a nuclear device exploded high in the air over us, an EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) it is called by those in the know!  Such an event triggered by an enemy could result in deaths of 90% or so of our population, as our power grid could be down nationwide for months or so.  And the same power grid is also subjected to attack in other ways, by an enemy who would try to hack our computer controls, or even by a natural event which could disrupt huge parts of the country, and destroy our aging system which is long overdue for a complete overhaul. 
2)Political: For whatever reason, there are increasing numbers of individuals in our government who are determined to turn the U.S. into another Venezuela! Do your own research! Only a few decades ago, that country had one of the highest standard of living in South America, and even ranked high around the world in that category! Now?  Read the news!  People are starving and are revolting!  Inflation is out of control, and the government is even refusing outside help!  But what do we find now in our country?  New congress people openly pushing socialism, and even creating waves as potential candidates for president in 2020!  Hard to believe?  Check it out! And what about the influence of a huge percentage of our universities today who push the failed system among 80% or more of our instructors?  And trigger the hatred found today among the liberal left who refuse to even discuss issues deemed more traditional?  Just what on earth is going on today, and how has it happened in this land of the free and home of the brave?
3)Economic: Does out of control federal spending and ballooning national debt pose a danger? Will this trigger hyper inflation like that experienced by Venezuela today?  A computer search states that inflation there will hit "10 million percent" in 2019!   Is this even possible?
4)Moral or cultural: HOW CAN A STATE LIKE NEW YORK and others, pass a law allowing abortions up to the moment of birth, even allow survivors to die afterwards, then proudly light up locations in the city hailing the passing of such legislation!  With abortions already passing 3000 per day since Roe vs. Wade, and approaching 60 million or so since, can a just God who destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for lesser crimes overlook this horrendous tragedy?
More concerns exist, but can a single individual do anything to help ward off a possible day of reckoning?  Obvious!  In this still claimed Christian nation, down a bit, but still 75% of our citizens (2015 Wikipedia poll), PRAYER and SACRIFICE during this Christian season of Lent might be all that it takes! A solution important enough to be considered again next week!
