Zombi Apocalypse Prep?
From the Alpha Strategy:
"In the past, man has incorrectly identified the direction from which he has been attacked. Almost everyone has assumed that the politicians and bureaucrats are the enemy. Thus a continued attack has been mounted against government. The cry is always, "let's throw out the bad guys." It can't be done.
The individuals in government are merely the hired agents of the real culprits. Government has been a nearperfect decoy, drawing all the attention away from the real thieves; consequently, all defensive efforts have been wasted in a futile political battle to throw out the bad guys. It is clearly a case where the predators, those who feed on the wealth of others through government, have developed such perfect camouflage that their victims have been helpless to develop an effective defense.
The answer to the dilemma that has plagued mankind throughout history is not a quick panacea. It is a slow but certain process that relies on the selfish instinct of each individual. It takes into consideration the fact that individuals are more interested in immediate benefits than in long-term pleasures. Each of us is
concerned when someone steals from us, and we will respond immediately to protect our property, provided we understand how we are being plundered. That is the key to change. Individuals must be shown how they are being plundered, and when enough of them are aware, they will individually begin to develop defense mechanisms to cope with the attackers. Eventually, successful mechanisms will be adopted by others, and those that are not successful will be abandoned. The spread of right ideas is inexorable. It is evolution itself.
What are the steps that you might take to begin bringing about lasting change? I have only a few tentative suggestions, which seem to me to be correct, but which may or may not be the most effective answers. The ingenuity of hundreds and thousands of others applied to this problem will result in discovery of many other answers, and some will certainly be more effective than these preliminary steps.
Step One is to defend you own wealth. Saving real wealth protects your wealth against the predators, and is a first and important step in making it unprofitable for them to continue their actions. The Alpha Strategy has positive steps that every individual can take immediately.
Step Two is to make the plunderers aware that you have caught on to their game. Your time and energy are limited, so don't waste them on any efforts to fight the government, or government policies. Remember, government is a decoy.
Direct all your attention to exposing the real thieves. This can be done in many ways. For example, when you hear about a company requesting a subsidy from the government, don't write to your politician. Write, instead, to the president of that company, and tell him just exactly what you think about his action. When you hear about a business lobbying for a tariff, or a regulation to inhibit competition, bypass your politician. Contact that company directly and let its owners know how you feel.
When you find a union pleading for laws to prevent other laborers from competing for jobs, let your voice be heard—not by your congressman, but by the members of that union. Remember that many of these individuals do not even understand that their use of government is actually theft. Explain your position clearly, and ask them to stop.
Everyone knows how difficult it is to get the attention of politicians. Businessmen, however, have a much more direct and immediate stake in what you have to say. When you find one trying to destroy his competitor with government force, tell him that you know exactly what he is doing, and that you will boycott his products and publicize his theft until he stops. It is that simple. When customers begin boycotting products, businessmen must pay attention.
Rather than send a lobbying team to pressure the politicians into changing laws in your favor, instead devote energy to analyzing the lobbying efforts of others. Find out who is pressuring the politicians for special privilege, and then go directly to those individuals. Pull away the cloak of government that they are hiding behind, and expose them for everyone to see. If enough people start pointing the finger of responsibility in the right direction, at the people who are really the thieves and swindlers, future history books will mark that point as the beginning of change.
Step Three is to alert your friends and neighbors to the nature of the sting, and to all of the confidence games being promoted in this economic carnival. Alert them to the direction from which the attack is coming, so that they can begin to defend their wealth, and work with you to build the barricades in the right place. If you believe this book has been effective in arguing the case for a free market and exposing the sting, recommend it to them. Or write one yourself.
The next decade promises to be the most turbulent decade in this century. The plunder is mounting. "
