A recent forum thread stated that part of the reason survivalists concepts do not attract more people is because we all come from such a right wing stand point. Clearly as a Libertarian I take exception to this, the reality is most survivalists have a strong believe in following the Constitution.
Those that acutually respect The Constitution are often painted as “Right Wing” by the media but are they? Is it exclusively a republican ideal to support The Constitution? Of course not, do not Democrats invoke The Constitution when it suits them?
My view is Survivalists are often seen as “right wing” simply due to the communities overriding belief in the “right to keep and bare arms” applying to “the people”. Yet many of us have what are called “liberal beliefs” by many as well in regard to things like alternative energy, restrictive social pollicies and even the unconstitutional practice of certain aspects of drug prohibition.
What are the real reasons the survivalist community doesn’t grow as fast as it should, tune in today to hear my take on that.

Can an individual alone secede from the current system of politics and government support? Yes I believe that you can. It is not “un American” or a “renouncement of citizenship” and it isn’t anything like a state seceding from The Union.
No instead it is an affirmation of citizenship and the responsibility that goes with it. Today I start off answering a question about Mitchell Fishing reels from an earlier episode, get into more on the Trillion Dollar Stimulus and end up with my personal declaration of independence from “the systems”.
I ask you to listen and consider what I am saying, I will be formalizing this “act of secession” this weekend and asking others to join in.
I am also giving away two tactical slings from SOE Tactical Gear today, so make sure to listen for the code word and email it as instructed to jack@thesurvivalpodcast.com

Today’s show expands on yesterday’s and gives you five more lies that most American’s believe to be true. No conspiracy theories or tin foil hat concepts here. This stuff is all wide open and easy to verify as fact by reading simple history and looking at current realities.
Sorry for the background noise in today’s show, while I think the audio is over all much better my mobile studio seemed to attract every semi truck on the highway today.
Tune in today to get my thoughts on,
- The lie that the “governments role is to solve the problems of the people”
- How ridiculous the concept of a “government that would solve individual problems” would be in a discussion among the Founding Fathers
- The lie that “America is the freest nation in the world”
- One thing that you can do in many countries that will get you arrested at gun point in America
- The lie that we need to “spend more on national defense”
- The fact that the U.S. spends more money on our military then the combined military budgets of every other nation in the world combined
- The reality that the U.S. economic system is now best defined as fascist
- The lie that it is “normal for the price of goods and cost of living to continually rise over time”
- The effect of having a false paper currency backed by nothing and what a 1935 silver quarter still buys today
- The lie that “politicians should be experienced”
- How a government of “career politicians” have destroyed our freedom, yet not had to live with the consequences of their decisions as private citizens
- Why a Kansas farmer, Texas rough necker or Detroit auto worker would all be better as our senators then the people we have in office today

Five Lies that Attack Individual Freedom and Liberty [44:31m]:

Today’s podcast covers five lies that have been marketed to people by both industry and government and how they take away individual liberty and national freedom. This show is a long one but these were some things I feel honestly called to speak about and I have a great deal of passion for them.
I know many listeners are more interested in practical preparation but one can not separate survival mentality from individual liberty. Where as the sheeple follow the government and seek solutions from them, the individualist knows that he or she is the master of their own fate.
Today’s podcast may challenge some of your beliefs and might even make you angry at times. That just means is isn’t the same old - same old. Tune in to get my thoughts about,
- The lie that “its a consumer driven economy and there is nothing wrong with that” and how it is driving people and our nation into the oppression of debt.
- The lie of “no child left behind” and that “everyone should go to college” and how it is destroying our economy and making us dependent on illegal immigrant labor
- The noble professions no one goes to college to do and why we need quality people to do them
- The lie that “The Constitution gives us rights” and how that lie grants government power that it does not and should not have
- Why The Constitution does not “apply to Americans” and how it actually applies to humans
- The lie of class warfare and how it convinces you that you don’t have what you want because of some other group
- The class structure of Europe that we left behind and why it needs to stay there
- The lie that “you can’t do it” or “you can’t make it” with out government help and how the government is actually the problem that limits individual achievement
- The lie of being told what you want or told what is a success or a failure or what you need
- Why no matter who runs Washington we all still have the ability to declare individual liberty
- How we lost the attitude of “this family doesn’t take charity” and how that is killing us
- How the individual spirit and personal fortitude is stronger then any law, government or situation
- How many of the “poor” are really free and many of the most “successful” are enslaved by life and debt
- How your personal action, personal spirit and determination are your greatest survival asset
