We had a small gathering of our local MAG on Monday to celebrate the New Year. I made a pork roast along with lucky veggies, and all the guests brought to the dinner what they traditionally called "lucky foods" too.
Before dinner everyone was enjoying the fellowship of the gathering when one of the original staunch members of the MAG stated, "we have been at the beginning of a new year and we all have predicted doom & gloom and nothing happened."
He continued,
"I have prepped enough and we are sitting pretty. Nothing is going to happen violently where we live." Well you could hear a pin drop with his statement.
So I said, "What are you going to do if two pickups come down our 2-trac dirt township road loaded with a dozen armed men, looking to take your steers & hogs, your petrol & diesel, etc etc etc?" He replied with,
1) The chances of that happening are slim, and
2) If it does happen then I will fight them off."
I asked, "By your self?"
I changed the conversation on this subject to save the fellowship of the dinner; However, the point of this story is to point out, I am sure you have members within your MAG, that are now thinking similar thoughts. They have moved from big time MAG supporter to a normalcy bias individual.
What causes this? Maybe staying on point so long has tired them out. Maybe that we are on the precipice of major changes here in the USA, they are getting scared. Who knows.
I need to reach out to this individual on a 1:1 basis to really pick his brains on this subject. Bottom-line, if he really thinks this, it is time for the MAG to limit his ability to draw on the PERSEC of the MAG. This is a shame as his wife is very involved in the MAG and literally sat there with her mouth open during his announcement, obviously never hearing this before.
Interesting huh?
