INTRODUCTION BY FREEDOM PREPPERS
About EMP: Electromagnetic Pulse and the Prepping for Tomorrow Series
Because you never know when the day before —
is the day before.
Prepare for tomorrow!
Author Bobby Akart, the founder of Freedom Preppers, has been a tireless proponent of adopting a preparedness lifestyle. As he learned prepping tips and techniques, he shared them with others via his writing on the American Preppers Network website, and in his bestselling book series—
The Boston Brahmin
and
Prepping for Tomorrow
.
In The Boston Brahmin series, political suspense collides with post-apocalyptic thriller fiction. Bobby’s attention to detail and real-world scenarios immerses the reader in a world of geopolitical machinations and post-apocalyptic drama. Preparedness skills and techniques are interwoven in the plot in way that the reader can be given a real-world scenario to envision.
The Prepping for Tomorrow series is the culmination of Bobby’s research and real-world experiences provided in a concise guide for new and experienced preppers alike.
Steven Konkoly, author of The Perseid Collapse Series, noted that Bobby has gone far above and beyond the call of duty to support and promote fellow authors. Steve added, “from the very first time I spoke with Bobby, I was impressed with his positive attitude and willingness to share. It’s the kind of selflessness that makes you wonder
what’s the catch
? Well, there is no catch! Bobby is just a stand-up guy—with many talents. Author Bobby Akart possesses the analytic capability of a supercomputer coupled with the expressiveness of an exceptional writer. EMP is eye-opening.”
What if the preppers are right?
The media shapes public opinion in all formats including news, cinema and television shows. It should come as no surprise that everyone doesn't necessarily form an opinion on every subject. Nor should you be shocked to hear that most opinions are uninformed. We can all give countless examples of this. Most Americans are
sheeple
, unable to think for themselves. They are content to follow, and many are too lazy to do the minimal research required to have an informed opinion. Their reliance on government or media sources for information makes them susceptible to manipulation. It's simply easier to be a
sheeple
.
As a student of the preparedness lifestyle, I cringe at the media's portrayal of preppers. Initially, the brunt of the ridicule was directed at survivalists. But with the success of National Geographic's Doomsday Preppers, the concept of being a prepper hit the mainstream. Now Preppers are the target of the media's derision. I have my opinion as to why that is the case, and it has its basis in politics. It is my opinion that the media is predominantly left-leaning and, as a result, does not embrace the self-sufficient lifestyle that is prepping. So, if you can't join them, beat them down—repeatedly. As a recent example, consider the media's dismantling of the Tea Party movement. I see similar attacks on preppers.
From the Associated Press: "
Sandy Hook Shooter Comes from Prepper Family.
"
From CBS: "
Local 'Preppers' Stock Up For Improbable US Ebola Crisis.
"
From Washington Post: "
'Preppers' Convinced Yellowstone Volcano Spells Doom.
"
But, what if the Preppers are right?
What if
?
The Economy Collapses
The United States economy can collapse as a result of our own government's mismanagement of our national debt or external factors such as a global financial meltdown, an attack on the US Dollar, and other
predictable
events. Why do you think the Federal Reserve is so frightened of raising interest rates despite apparent underlying inflation data? Our economy is a house of cards. We are just a few steps away from a collapse of the dollar and hyperinflation.
History is replete with the rise and fall of empires. Are Americans so arrogant, or oblivious, to realize that we are in a stage of decline and collapse? Some of the signs of decline include a downward cultural spiral, an over-reliance on government and the inability to protect the integrity of a nation's borders. Sound familiar?
All empires collapse eventually. There have been no exceptions in the history of humanity.
None. All empires end when a more vigorous empire defeats them—or when their financing runs out.
What if
?
Escalation of Global Conflict into a World War
Let's compile a list of the strongest, most dangerous
bad actors
on the world geopolitical stage:
Russia ~ China ~ North Korea ~ Iran ~ Syria ~ ISIS ~ Al Qaeda
What do these seven geopolitical foes have in common? They both hate and disrespect the United States! Think of the Seven Deadly Sins: Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride. All of these relate to the attitudes of these
bad actors
towards the United States. Is it that far-fetched that one or more of these could band together to bring the mighty United States of America to its knees? Remember the words of the great Chinese General Sun Tzu —
the enemy of my enemy is my friend
. Except ISIS and Al Qaeda, the five nations comprising this group considers each other allies.
