There's always been a 'reason', that 'movement' goes back a while. A simple example of what I'm talking about, is back I think in 1972, a guy was lecturing the college circuit about his book. The book was called, I think, "The 50 dollar underground home", or near there.

I read that book, in 1972, this guy thought the world was ending, and made arguments somewhat like we read today. Think about that for a second, there have been 'doomers', or not the same, but 'preppers' for a long long time. Kinda makes you wonder about relevance of things.

Prepper alarmism probably originates from nuclear strike concerns.

Or fundamentalist zealots, my mind is seeing those people who ring the bell, and state,'the end is near'... I mean heck, that's straight from god, lol!
