Beautiful and wise words from a lovely lady...Wow. <br /><br />Beautiful and wise words from a lovely lady. You are the mother of my heart in so many ways. I can't tell you how good it is to hear such reassuring SANITY and CALM DETERMINATION as this. <br /><br />THIS is how you "ride the slide." Do what you can to prepare, keep alert, make friends, take care of one another-- everything you said here I must applaud. <br /><br />Its not about extremes.<br /><br />So often people act like you can either ignore potential jeopardy OR you can be some paranoid panicked person. Black and white with no gray in-between. Well, that duality consciousness screws everybody. Sometimes the answer is not yes or no, but maybe. Find the middle and embrace what comes like a stubborn bitch. Because surrender isn't an option, people. <br /><br />Comparing notes on possible scenarios is not paranoia, its mental exercise. Its using imagination to try to understand what things are more likely to happen over others so as to direct resources more intelligently as you go. This used to be called "prudence" and was a virtue that every admired person practiced. Now its crazy? Something is wrong here.<br /><br />Things WILL fall apart. The old normal is never returning. Too many points-of-no-return have been passed. Prudence means finding ways to ride the slide down as comfortably as possible. No shame in that. And someday a new normal will come. It won't be today's normal-- but I'm betting we won't be complaining half as much about life as we do now. Just a feeling.<br /><br />I wrote this down somewhere a few years ago:<br />No need to panic when the shit hits the fan<br />Just ride the slide the best that you canAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-65612465089473687952010-12-15T21:43:53.388-08:002010-12-15T21:43:53.388-08:00Thanks for the great post.

On the contrary, Gestapo files show that 80% of all Gestapo investigations were started in response to information provided by denunciations by “ordinary” Germans.<br /><br />“There were relatively few secret police, and most were just processing the information coming in. I had found a shocking fact. It wasn’t the secret police who were doing this wide-scale surveillance and hiding on every street corner. It was the ordinary German people who were informing on their neighbors,” wrote Robert Gellately of Florida State University.<br /><br />Now the federal government is urging Americans to “denounce” each other at Wal-Mart.

However, many Americans are growing tired of the arrogance of the Israel Lobby and their bigoted attitudes toward anyone who challenges their influence-peddling and their ridiculous insistence that Israel must be supported because of some ancient fairy tales involving some tribes who wandered the deserts of the Middle East and saw and heard non-existent things because of sun stroke, drinking bad water, and smoking local hallucinogenic plants." -Wayne Madsen<br /><br />-rpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-81757779400428110482010-12-06T10:39:44.570-08:002010-12-06T10:39:44.570-08:00MF,

That means, if the demand for the real stuff goes way up, the banks can't meet the demand and are insolvent because the stock of silver wouldn't be sufficient to meet the demand. I rather imagine that they have a contingency plan for this. Bank holidays and limits on taking possession of the silver would come down.

Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit. On this particular day a rich German tourist is driving through the town, stops at the local hotel and lays a €100 note on the desk, telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night. The owner <br />gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the €100 note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher. The butcher takes the €100 note and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer. The pig farmer takes the €100 note and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel. The guy at the Farmers' Co-op takes the €100 note and runs to pay his drinks bill at the pub. The publican slips the money along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar, who has also been facing <br />hard times and has had to offer him "services" on credit. The hooker then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the hotel owner with the €100 note. The hotel proprietor then places the €100 note back on the counter so the rich traveller will not suspect anything. At that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, picks up the €100 note, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, <br />and leaves town. <br /><br />No one produced anything. No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism. And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how the bailout package works.Palooka's Revengehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03335098025580294691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-87282364920012458222010-12-05T11:30:18.763-08:002010-12-05T11:30:18.763-08:00JP Morgan silver manipulation explained:

But, WHY? <br /> On my darkest days, I would speculate that there are two reasons. The first is to funnel as much money as is humanly possible into their own pockets to pay for a ticket to the first tier, which would be an off-world base to survive a cosmic disaster that they know is coming. Or, since there is only so much room in that direction, the second tier elites would head into their underground bunkers. <br /> The rest of us peasants would be so impoverished and distracted, that we would be unable to get our shit together and form any sort of meaningful resistance or do much of anything to survive whatever the event is (natural or engineered)that will cause the die off. Then the elites emerge and think they will continue on.<br /> The flaw in their thinking, though, is that we are all going to die. Even them. Personally, I would like to die knowing that I lived a life worthy of the great gift of life on this planet, rather than knowing that I was a scumbag of cosmic proportions.<br /> If there is any justice at all in the Universe, I think that in the long run, it will prevail. I don't think Mother Nature takes kindly to those who blow their human incarnation. So they may just end up in their next life sucking up scum from a toxic pond or eating shit as a dung beetle.<br /> I gotta believe that in the end, we all will reap what we have sown.freeacrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-6702281325749307632010-12-03T12:35:57.469-08:002010-12-03T12:35:57.469-08:00Gotta see this...
