American Exit Strategy: Book 1 (14 page)

'A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed
.'

Our founding fathers knew that without the ability to fight off tyrants, there would not be a free State. Once this liberty is trampled, there will be nothing to stop the now fully developed police state from infringing upon your every human right including life itself.

So what are we to do if we are not to fight this rogue government? We are to do absolutely nothing. My proposition to you is the American Exit Strategy. The next administration has no plans to alter the course of our country which has been set by the two previous administrations. Howe will continue to spend our nation into the grave through warfare and welfare. To pay for it, he will depend on stealing the fruits of your labor through his excessive 60% income tax.

He will continue to use The Federal Reserve to pilfer the remainder of the money not taken by the hand of the IRS. Through the continued quantitative easing programs, The Fed creates new dollars that add to those already in circulation. As each new dollar is created, those already in existence are worth less and less. Where does this wealth go when it leaves your wallet or savings account? It goes into the coffers of the Federal Reserve which then funnels it into the budget of the ever-growing federal government. This is inflation. This is why your grocery cart is twice the price and half the weight as it was four years ago. Inflation is a stealth tax that you never see, because you still have the same amount of dollars. The problem is those dollar buy a lot less.

The endless wars and welfare dependency have cost more than could be extracted from the American people through taxation and inflation, so we have borrowed to the limit of our credit. No one will buy our new bonds.  We are barely able to maintain the interest on the debt without an outright default. When we do finally default, the dollar will have gone the way of every other fiat currency throughout history. It will have no value at all. Those of you who have all of your wealth in the worthless paper at that point will find yourself penniless.

My recommendation to you is to convert as much as possible into tangible assets. Purchase things you know you will need to survive the coming collapse. Also focus on items that have value and can be stored and easily traded like ammunition, canned goods, coffee, jewelry and even soap and razors.

Convert the rest of your dollars into gold and silver to hedge yourself from this mathematically certain event. The supply of gold and silver coins will quickly be depleted if even a fraction of the American people follow my advice. There is also the possibility that the government will outlaw gold as Franklin D. Roosevelt did in 1933 through Executive Order 6102. If that happens, do not turn it in. The legislation that would ban gold would be designed to steal your wealth from you. It would therefore be, just as a ban on guns, an illegitimate law. Hold on to your wealth by any means necessary. If gold and silver are outlawed or depleted from availability, purchase more of the things you know you will need and will be easily traded.

Even if I had been confirmed as the president elect, I could not have stopped the storm that is coming. My only ambition for the office was to be your guide through the storm that we could come out the other side. As I stated throughout my campaign, I had hoped that we might avoid much unnecessary human casualties through policies that would have provided a much softer landing for our crashing economy. As much as possible, I still intend to help you weather the coming economic hardship, but I will be doing so with much less resources than I would have had access to as president.

When Governor Howe becomes your president, his economic policies will quickly take us to the brink of destruction. You must take responsibility to prepare yourself and your family from the collapse. If you live in a city, you should set a goal of being out before Howe takes office. You should seek out like minded individuals to form communities in rural areas where you can be self sufficient. Once there, you can establish barter networks and exit the dollar as your primary means of trade. This will allow you to keep the fruits of your labor. The barter transactions will be outside of the capabilities of the IRS to steal through taxation and the capabilities of the Federal Reserve to steal through inflation.

When relocating, seek out states that have a reputation for freedom. I hope we will see leadership arise in state governments that will stand up and assert their constitutional sovereignty against this rogue, criminal enemy that is occupying the nation's capitol.

It is my expectation that those who follow my advice will greatly increase their chances of survival. There will be many who do not heed my warning. As I have said before, many of them will die of starvation and violence that cannot be controlled by a bankrupt nation.

There is not only darkness going forward. A majority of those who have supported the oppressive regime of Al Mohammad and voted for Anthony Howe live in the cities. The cities will have the highest die off rates due to resource scarcity and violent crime. Rural areas that are much more self sufficient are predominantly liberty loving patriots that cast their votes for me. Those who survive will be those who tend towards individual liberty. They will soon find that they have outlasted their oppressor. Once the dollar meets its demise, the federal government, like a parasite without a host, will simply wither away.

When this happens, there will be no need for a constitutional convention to frame a new nation as our forefathers had; we need only to adhere to the principles that they put together in The Constitution of America.

For now, brace yourselves as for a storm, for it is surely coming. Be vigilant in defending the Constitution against the tyrant and be faithful in caring for your fellow patriots. We will continue to post new information and updates to the American Exit Strategy to help you navigate through the impending chaos that is to come. Updates will be available through all of our traditional channels as well as our new website at AmericanExitStrategy.com which will be hosted on multiple proxy servers outside of the USA. Hopefully, this will keep the government from keeping the site down. Using redirects, we will switch to another server each time the site is disabled through an attack. If you visit us and the site is down, try back in 30 minutes. This wack-a-mole strategy is our best chance at keeping ahead of the NSA.

Thank you and good night."

Paul shut down the computer. FOX News had aired the entire message. The other major networks had shut it down just after they knew it wasn't a concession speech.

President Al Mohammad and Anthony Howe had both tried to have FOX shut the message down, but their requests were refused. Mustafa Al Mohammad quickly had the paper work drawn up to have Paul Randall labeled as an enemy combatant. This would allow him to take Randall out as soon as he found him. His brand of ruthless murders committed under the Patriot Act had put those of his Neo-Con predecessor to shame. He was happy to be passing on the torch of the iron fist to Howe. The power that had taken so many false flags and so much political wrangling to gain would be in good hands. Al Mohammad would miss the power, but he had enough information on Howe's personal indiscretions to still get things done if they needed to be.

CHAPTER 21

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed, and themselves consigned to a state of wretchedness from which no human efforts will deliver them."

-George Washington

Karen looked at Matt a bit stunned. No one knew what to expect from the Paul Randall speech, but no one expected what they had just heard. Matt sat with his brow furrowed as he digested the message that had just come from the senator.

"What are you thinking?" Karen asked.

"I think we should put the house up for sale tomorrow." Matt answered.

"And go where?" Karen asked.

"We will move to Kentucky, near Adam and Wesley." Matt replied.

"What are we going to do in Kentucky?" Karen asked.

"Try to find a small farm and start growing produce; maybe get some bees and some type of livestock. We have to make the transition now. Everything was falling apart already, but since Paul Randall just put it out there, the clock is ticking. We have to get on board with his plan or get left behind." Matt replied.

"How are we going to be farmers? We don't know anything about farming. How can we make money at farming?" Karen began.

"There won't be any money pretty soon. We will barter with the things we produce and trade with the silver and gold that we have purchased. Trust me on this one Karen. If we stay here, we will die. We won't just pass away in our sleep; we will die the most horrific death you can imagine. Gangs will take over. Once people run out of food, they will turn to cannibalism. Societies of much higher integrity than ours have resorted to cannibalism when they were starving." Matt replied.

"Like who?" Karen asked.

"Like the Israelites." Matt answered. He grabbed his Bible and looked up the passage. "The Northern Kingdom of Israel was under siege, and no one could get food into the city of Samaria. 2 Kings 6: 25 -30 reads:

'There was a great famine in the city; the siege lasted so long that a donkey's head sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter of a cab of seed pods for five shekels. As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, "Help me, my lord the king!" The king replied, "If the LORD does not help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor? From the winepress?"  Then he asked her, "What's the matter?" She answered, "This woman said to me, 'Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we'll eat my son.'  So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I said to her, 'Give up your son so we may eat him,' but she had hidden him." When the king heard the woman's words, he tore his robes.'

This is not some abstract concept. This is what people do. The Donner party wagon train got stuck in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the 1800's, and they resorted to cannibalism. They were members of a much more civil society than ours. People now will stab you for your tennis shoes, they will shoot you for your necklace, even though there is absolutely no threat of starvation. It’s just the common cruelty of greed and the product of not valuing human life. The wickedness and depravity of this culture is just getting ready to blossom into the most unimaginable flower of desolation that has ever been. You won’t want to read about the things that go on in cities like these a year from now, much less live in one of them. I love you baby, but this subject is not open for discussion. We have to go while we still can."

Karen looked at the floor. She was scared of moving, but she was scared of staying. Most of the things Matt had said about things over the years were coming to pass. This all seemed very extreme to her, but so had many of the things he had said over the years. She knew he was probably right, but that didn't make her feel any better. Matt had wanted to move out of the area for several years. He had agreed to stay as long as they had jobs. She still had the job at the school but Matt didn't want her to go back there. She knew it wasn't safe. She supposed that job didn't count.

More than anything else about moving to Kentucky, Karen hated the cold winters. Florida had beautiful winters. January and February generally had temperatures around 75 degrees. The mountains of Kentucky saw temperatures below freezing most of the winter.

She had grown up watching 'Little House on the Prairie'. The show had romanticized the hard scrabble life of the late 1800's. She had a glimmer of hope as she thought of herself living the life of Laura Ingalls. She imagined herself selling extra eggs at the town mercantile to buy fabric to make a dress. She almost smiled, but apprehension still overpowered the serene thoughts of going back to a lost age.

Karen didn't say "OK", because it wasn't. She didn't argue about it either, because she knew it was probably the only choice they had.

Matt's phone rang. It was his cousin Wesley. "What did you all decide?" Wesley asked.

"I don't think we’re heading out tonight Wes." Matt said. “Randall is calling for a sort of bloodless revolution. I suppose we have a little time. I’m going to put the house on the market tomorrow. We’re going to try to find a small place up by you and Adam. Do you know of anything for sale around there?"

Wesley said, "The old Blanchard place is up for sale. It’s about three miles from Adam's house. I looked at it. I thought about putting in an offer, but it was more renovation than I wanted to do. There is nothing wrong with it, it’s just dated. The house has really good bones. The property is very hilly, but most everything around here is. It has a lot of woods. It also has about a half acre garden near the house that is fairly level."

"What are they asking?" Matt inquired.
