THE COMING
PLANETARY CRISIS
Intellectuals, journalists and psychic,
precognizant people all sense that the Bush-Cheney War on oil rich lands could precipitate the end. Armageddon.
The bald-faced extent of the greed and theft involved in going after Iraq's oil
came to light in middle 2007 when Bush shoved a law down Iraq's throat that the
US OIL CORPORATIONS get half their oil. And Iraq is not allowed to watch them
take it out of the ground, or count the amount. That has to be very repugnant
to starving third world countries.
You may know that the MAYANS predicted it
would all end in 2012. It’s written into their thousand-year-old stele, like
the hieroglyphics on pyramids, that END TIME would occur, then. I saw this
funny cartoon where one Mayan holding a chisel says sadly, looking up at the
stele, ‘I ran out of room…”
Soothsayers warn of an earthquake period
coming and punching out our lights, literally as volcanic activity cracks the CALDERA in Yellowstone
wide open and Earth goes up in a cloud of ash reaching across the world.
Still
others predict nuclear bombs set off everywhere by Palestinians,
and the Internet Left Wingers warn that death will come with two things: First
shoe dropping would be the SMART MONEY card, without any greenbacks in
circulation anymore. That would mean that only if you have a job can you
get food and no way there will be enough jobs!
The
second shoe falling after world wide depression, no jobs and that would turn
OUR OWN people into terrorists. Ted Turner must believe terrorists are going to
bomb the cities or maybe that global warming will simultaneously happen because
in the wake of 911, he bought a million acre cattle ranch in Patagonia.
Spielberg
predicts in his movies that there could be comet, U.S. Gov would have us
believe Arab terrorists will hit the nuclear power generators, there will be no
electricity. If any of them are right, some morning we'll wake up and there
will be no clocks, no banks, no T.V., no stock market, no SSI checks or
entitlements, no jobs, and no food being trucked in to our city. AND NO
COMPUTERS THAT WORK. They all got frizzed! Worst, it ALL HAPPENS AT THE SAME TIME!
And
in the place of that peaceful little vista outside your window, there'd
cars tooting, curfews, massive unemployment, no food in stores, everybody
hoarding cans and water, all that craziness!
If
that happens, it will be dangerous as Hell to be in a big city. And as
everybody who's ever jumped out of a plane with a folded chute and a prayer
knows….WHAT FUN! Easy times made us fat. GIVE US HARD TIMES!, what say you?
In
Tempus Disastrus, we can be certain that 1/3 of America would immediately not
receive its monthly DOLE checks nor would employees who worked for big
government' or the huge corporations that had governm't contracts. The
resulting starvation, homelessness, chaos and fear could make panicky populations
do ANYTHING. That's why you want a fence around you and why I prefer renting
old houses with TALL fences, moats and dragons. "Oh give me a HOOOOOME,
where a Rottweiler can roam and the kids and the servants can PLAAAAAAY."
I
don't have a rott but I'd sure put a picture of one on my gate And I'd
sit behind the gate doing a gutteral growl., and there'd be a sign saying
"Beware of SLUGGER. He eats throats first, butts second, and if your butt
ain't big enough, eyeballs THIRD." See, my feeling is that I know how to
survive on sheer bravado.
But a
more reliable answer related to surviving a huge depression is to WORK hard and
buy as few trinkets and crap in the marketplace as is humanly possible, feed on
as little overpriced silly entertainment, both in the period leading up to this
disaster and DURING. As George Carlin has said, we're too hung up on our STUFF.
To get ready for such a time as this, READ THIS SUPERIOR LIST OF FUTURE-ORIENTED RESOURCES (BELOW). IT IS THE BEST! SHARE IT NOW WITH FRIENDS and family members. http://www.denverspiritualcommunity.org/Survival.htm
I have
read it and I know that I am almost ready but.I do have a lot of stuff. It took
me 14 full full size U-haul truckloads to move here. Two trips a day for seven
days. Granted a lot of what I was carting was huge old, ugly pieces of
furniture, and a lot of pots of fruit trees, plants and trash barrels filled
with my other rented home’s soil which I had BUILT to great tilth and wasn’t
going to leave behind for that creepy landlady who looked like Jabba the Hut
with her flaming red hair… but I couldn't move this show out into the
countryside and camp on a rock. I need a rented home with closets, a garage for
my boxes, walls for art, two yards minimum for fruit trees. My orchard is small
but it will bear just as this disaster period hits. The psychics say 2012 is
definitely end time. My trees are already producing enough food to give me a
few meals two seasons out of every year. And I am letting trees grow that will
provide protein, as vegans know that nuts and avocados are just like beef.
I
also grow vegies four seasons as I'm in California. No snow. Could grow
them more efficiently if I quit growing FLOWERS but I love flowers. True, my
rent in a RENTED HOME is a bit more than what an apartment is, but when my kid
gets out of the loony bin, I will HAVE ANOTHER PERSON PAYING HALF.
So it's going to be much less money than an apartment. Pro-rated for two.
I'd
say, apartment dwellers? Got sane children? Earning real cash? START NOW. Rent
a house and start that garden. Earn greenbacks full time whilst ye may. Do as
little spending on fashion, decor or entertainment as possible. Seek a rented
home with a huge yard, an acre is optimum, a nice landlord who won't raise the
rent on you. I asked mine, did you raise rents on the tenants in your other 21
houses? He hadn't on anybody and many have been in those homes since the 50's.
That was good news. He also thought this house had three bedrooms. It had FOUR!
Because he owns 22 homes, he hadn't a clue. And he was glad that I was going to
fill it with fruit trees. Brave man! But then, I politely asked where sewer
lines were so tree roots would never heave one.
So
concentrate on making the money to move your butt to an old tear down cottage
like mine. Built in the fifties, nothing leaks but shabby as Hell so the
yuppies wouldn't live here.
And
you know what? If you want to earn some serious money starting now, do as
little internet surfing as possible for a while. Surfing takes up time. Just
cut down to three hours a day and you could use that time to do something new
to earn moonlighting/ extra cash. Something you can do thru the Iraq War
stagflation period where hourly salaries are really pretty high. Anything
from cleaning chimneys
and attics (very lucrative, or Landscaping. I know a house
painter who makes 24$ an hour. He says he can slap or roll on 25 gallons of
paint in a 7 hour day.
If
you can't do the usual big money things: painting houses, cleaning attics, or
cleaning houses for 45$ a day, try massaging people as massage gets you l00$ an
HOUR. Don't like strange people's skins? Well then, type for students under the
table, don't tell IRS. Always for cash. Keep the money hidden under the carpet,
under the bed. Cut a slice in carpet, slide it under. Slice a hole in floorboards,
set a tin box in there. A foot under a thorny rose, a waterproof tin box,
strong 8 mil plastic wrap. When the fit hits the shan, the only thing any of us
will need is GREENBACKS. Gold, Silver is hard to translate into a pound of
protein, you know what I mean? DOLLAR bills will work!
Dirt
poor? Then, GARDEN. I'd advise you to get some pals and rent an old house with a big
yard. One that has space for fruit trees. Where you can grow soybeans, other proteins
like aduki or mung beans, cowbeans (called blackeyed peas) ask seed exchanges
for seed). Get on 'gardeners' lists so you can find protein seeds.)
Many
of the pulse, grain/ seed foods are sproutable and store in winter months
so you can have live proteins in January! Or let a comet black out the sun, you
can grow vegies in six days! Beans/ pulse are also delicious cooked with
non-nutritional but tasty foods like rice. And grow plain bean red or pinto or
black beans and collard and salad greens which are a protein. Cook two
incomplete aminos together you get a whole protein. You say not? Hey, look at
the cow! He doesn't need to eat MEAT. Neither do we!
THREE
tenants who garden and fish and know how to fill a freezer and cook from
scratch, living in a house together will provide a super low cost life
style. Survival in the mountains isn't
for most of us. We're city folks who will "make it" even if the city
is running red, (I mean starving hordes cutting necks and blood running red in
the gutter.) We'll stay in the house with a butcher knife, cutting up our fresh
fish, freezing it, cooking up feasts, growing grapes and maybe saving old wine
bottles to put up their own wine. They may go out Sunday morning for some
basics like OIL, coffee and sugar....but with any luck, we'll have some
chickens and rabbits for protein. Keeping
some poultry in the shed gives us a certain amount of stick to the rib eggs and
table meat. Now me, I couldn't kill a rabbit or chicken. I had Puck Puck the
chicken as a pet and felt she was my daughter, but you might be luckier than I
in that area) and slice thru poultry or rabbit throats blithely.
Other
things are harder. We'll just have to go and pay hard cash for coffee beans.
Though in Zone l0 you could grow them! We can bake our own whole grain bread,
soak the grain overnight, til sprouted, then grind in a vita mix Mill. Or maybe
forget about food addictions like white bread, Bisquick....Sara Lee, useless
nose-plugging, mucus producing food it is. I switched to bible bread and never
had a cold again, a good 20 yrs with no flu or colds when I gave up flour.
You
can give up Hagan Das. What a waste of greenbacks
these things were! Five little cartons of
ice cream are the same money as a walnut tree. Or peach tree. Any effort to
give up our vices and we're gonna do just fine living off our own acre.
Next,
do we need guns? Just ask yourself are there any totally poor welfare
dependents in your area?? When welfare stops, they do tend to cut affluent
throats a little more easily than starving yuppies will. (But only
slightly more). And maybe having all those clucking chickens in your yard isn't
such a good idea. Even parakeets and canaries might look like a snack to a
disaster time maurader.
So
think it out. I started already. Put in my orchard. At HOME DEPOT 9$ each
bareroot tree, bon marche prices, I got a plum, nectarine, 2 guavas, an
apricot, cocktail grapefruit, (half tangerine, half grapefruit, very nice too.)
An orange, a sweet lemon, avocado, lime, pomegranate and Eureka sour
lemon tree. Apricots grow true to parents so they can be grown out of super
market PITS! Or found at pals' homes, six inches high, surrounding the apricot
tree. My daughter bought me a costly Persian black mulberry but I had
seedlings from my purple mulberry trees, not an inch high, planted a lot of
those. Today they are huge, loaded with berries! I have a mutt avocado. They
are not true to species unless grafted. So it won't be a HASS but it'll be
edible. My squirrels, Carlitos and Captain Cody Clarke actually planted two
almond trees for me from their tree top feedbin. Gotta move them into the sun,
moving is done in January while it's dormant. I need a persimmon tree as I'm
nuts about them with lime juice but haven't done that yet. I have several figs.
They grow from whips you cut from other people's trees in January, sink half
way in soil. Now my figs are 15 feet tall and loaded. I started in l999, so
trees grow fast.
I
bought six raspberry plants in l998 at the old house. They turned into 100
plants over a four year period! I bought three muscat grape vines in 2002,
built arbors for each. The first grapes were just eaten this summer, by me,
standing in garden chewing. The squirrels and possums took over at that point.
I indulge them. It’s not the GREAT DEPRESSION YET, but for the GREAT
DEPRESSION? I’m getting
a GUN! Arbor was built out of
four coffee cans with cement in them, half buried in another plug of cement,
the poles were set inside coffee can, the cement up to its ankles with slanted
sides so rain will runoff and poles don't rot. The poles came from the MELIA
tree, 2" diameter. Straight and hard!
I
always seek chayotes in the market that have a little tail sticking out and
plant them and get chayote vines loaded with squash that climb 50 feet into
trees and drop chayote fruits on you. Ditto with passionfruit, the Maui Purple
passionfruit only.
Every
year I go wild and grew something totally inedible: gourds, but they are warty,
rainbow gourds, great decor at Turkey time. Next Xmas we'll string the gourds
onto old Xmas tree lights. You have light-up weird fruits and one can sell
them. GREENBACKS is all I want for Xmas. Greenbacks to survive the depression
that Iraq war causes.
Now,
if you're a yuppie, fer Gawdsake, at first sign of Apocalpyse, get out of the
Stock market, mutuals and all; stash that cash in banks without spending. Pull
cash out and midnight garden (bury it under a rosebush) because in a cataclysm,
banks will have a RUN. A RUN? You don't remember l929? Germany in 33? OK. My
parents lived thru both. Dad in Germany where it cost several hundred dollars
in paper for a loaf of bread, my Mom in San Luis Obispo California where they
turned their house into a boarding house!. They both suffered through bank
runs. A RUN is like a Macy's sale only outside the bank and everybody's weeping
and they shove you to the ground, not just push past you. You see, they are
RUNNING into the bank to get their money and when they can't, they're running
out screaming and breaking windows which is why it's called a RUN.
Then,
as the big depression hits, you and your roomies or tenants will have tons of
bucks under a rose bush and can buy forecloseure properties like gumdrops.
SOMEONE will be employed out there, and you can rent to HIM.
We
have all sensed that something is coming. Something big. The weather has
changed, more people are going nuts and killing their own kids than in history
or since BAAL was the official religion. Then, all those sexual crimes,
disappeared little children, School shootings and now, children are murdering
each other lately. We seem to be approaching the end of the world, and time is
running out, I thought I should start to prepare for the inevitable... But I'm
not sure just which cataclysmI should be prepared for. You want to help me
decide?
1.
Armageddon/Judgement
Day/Rapture 2012??
2.
Nostradamus -Rivers of fire,
- ??
3.
Solar Maximum FLARES .. We finally
had one, recently. So don't laugh.
4.
World War III - date and
protagonists unknown ?? Some say Iran but Iraq is lookin' real good. China vs.
Taiwan and the other split siblings, warring brothers, Palestine vs. Israel
5.
Earth Changes poles tilt,
Antarctica melts, El Nino, RED TIDE, ozone evaporates, sun burns us all to
chicharron, various calamities... dates unknown
6.
Spielberg ain't dumb. he says an
Intergalactic meteor bypass will pull the air away, or if it lands, cause a
cloud so thick nothin' will grow for 50 years except mushrooms. Our dinosaurs
will die, so will we unless we learn to eat mushroom linguini day and
night.....say goodnite Gracie.
7. Pleiadean destructor fleet...?? Nahh, I've met them. They aren't killers. Now, the GRAYS, the Draconians, the Reptiles, that's a horse of a different color. But they are shy as virgins, sofar.
8.
Cayce says earthquakes and tidal
waves are due any day
9. Mayans said 2012 was end of it all. Vegetarians believe
this. Don't know why them. Maybe something in tortillas and guacamole.
10. 143 Suitcase ATOMIC
bombs are missing from Russia. Their Mafia sold them to terrorist nations. I
expect a bomb to turn up soon on Wilshire Blvd which would take out a lot of
middle class Jews worshipping at Sinai Temple In Bev Hills.
11.
. World Recession, banks, IRS, SSA
and stock market will FREEZE. Western economy will collapse. Dollar collapsing
right now. This one is practically a GIVEN.
I'm not sure whether I need to backup my tax records, or should we star doing
midnight gardening starting now, (means money under rose bushes.) Or do we
start praying, fill pantry with cans of food? Buy a pair of UV Ray Bans to
shield our eyes from the RADIOACTIVE CLOUD? Or dig a big hole and create a bomb
shelter...?? Nahhh, not Me. I'm planning on sticking it out right here, rented
cottage in the Valley, selling all my chatzkes and collectibles at a huge
garage sale while the economy's still good.
My
DREAM, of course is selling a movie script and I’ve got a helluva I AM LEGEND
ARMAGEDDON SCRIPT…worth a million in which case I'm buying a 20 acre farm in
the far west end of the valley and growing a diversity of foods like trees,
fruits, chickens for eggs,(not meat) goats for milk and making my own cheese, a
reasonable diet. Putting in a forest for fire wood, a generator, and some
fiiiine, café arabica trees.
If a
comet makes a big cloud which enshrouds the planet and the sun goes out, one
can survive and eat by SPROUTing seeds, beans and still have a healthy
diet. You can survive looters if it's a comet because it'll be too dark for
them to find you without a flash light. And the drug store will be totally out
of batteries and only YOU can find your way around your own house in the dark. (There's
a pony here somewhere.)
So be
chipper. If it's something minor like no food supply in a total recession and
bank meltdown, remember, you always thought you had a little extra blubber on
you. You'll sail through a month or two of dieting.
And
you can even survive a close hit with a neutron bomb if it's a Russian suitcase
bomb put in a Temple on Wilshire by Saddam Hussein. Do it like me.... by moving
to Reseda, a burough of L.A., 22 miles north of any radioactive cloud.
You
can survive a quake if you live on bedrock. You can survive ozone with Raybans,
you can survive a tidal wave if you have a rubber boat tied in the yard with a
few hundred feet of cord so it won't be tied to the bottom of the sea (!) and
always leave the back door open and have some raisins, canned bait, a straw hat
and fishing line in the raft.
You
can live without electricity if you have a windmill, you can live without a PC
if you have a battery radio and a morse code set and you can live without a
body or a planet if you have a soul.
This
last one appeals to me as the supreme last ditch method as I was regressed to a
prior lifetime, saw repeated lives in cinerama and technicolor so I have faith
that the soul outlives the body but I'll allow not everybody would imagine
there's a survival method THERE. As what if there's no EARTH? Would my soul
know how to sail to another solar universe?
Sure
it would. I've done it at times in my dreams. I visited an astral plane where
everyone there had gorgeous storybook houses. I floated down a path into
someone's living room. Two were sitting there. And they said knowingly, 'it's
ok. don't let her bother you. She's dreaming.'
So,
let's stop laughing. On a serious note, here are John Williams' Tips for
Wrenching Times found on the net, at Consumertronics (Not the film composer.)
These guys are at http://www.tsc-global.com/
1.
Store up one year's supply of food.
Don't rely upon frozen or canned food but primarily upon grains, soybeans,
sprouting seed, beans, wheat and dehydrated & freeze dried foods. Get into
gardening if you have the space seeking high protein grains like MILLET,
AMARANTH, and keep an ample
supply of seed to meet any upcoming crunch. Easist way is to grow a crop in
your yard, harvest part, dry seed for next year. Keep on hand large containers
for storing water to be filled in a hurry when the collapse occurs.
2.
MAP A SAFE PASSAGE! If your home cannot
be defended against riotous mobs by you and your family alone, pick a retreat
in a nearby wilderness quickly accessible to you along some direct route that
does NOT go through a populated area. You need an ALTERNATIVE ROUTE to freeways
just in case they are a disaster area, bumper to bumper or something. So A
Surface Street alternative. Obtain maps of your retreat area, studies of its
flora and fauna (Forest Service and game wardens), and camp on a regular basis
in your area all year around to become accustomed to its feel and
defensibility. Best is to buy an acre there, install septic tank, tent there
while you compost it with all GREEN trashcans collected in your neighborhood,
and nearby farmers' manure. Compost for a year if possible, Every autumn, turn
compost into ground. Plant GREEN crop in spring, Alfalfa and legumes mixed.
DISC that in 2 mos later. THEN plant your nut/avocado/fruit trees and vegie
garden.
NOTE:
If you live in a large city your best bet, (poor as it is), would be to establish your retreat in your city
neighborhood. When the collapse occurs, if you panic and try to make a wild
dash to the country, you will end up doing it mostly on foot (all roads will
become blocked beyond resolution) and you will likely die in the process.
Depends on how bad highways are, how huge disaster is. ATOM BOMB is very dirty.
Folks will try to get out. IF YOU STAY AT HOME, You need lots of plastic to
CREATE LOCKS outside every door, to shield holes that radiation could get into.
ALSO, you will need gun and ammunition to protect your orchard and vegie garden.
Also, the many homeless will be trying to SQUAT in your home, burying YOU and
family in your own yard so they can eat your poodle.
3.
Carefully choose a survival arsenal. For every person in your group age 10 and
over you should have one semi-automatic rifle (.223 or .308). In addition each
person over 10 should have a reliable auto-pistol (9mm or .45), and the group
should have a collection of .22 rimfire rifles, high powered revolvers, and
shotguns. Finally, the group must have at least one highly-accurate (scope
mounted) bolt- action rifle of high caliber (.308, .30-06, 7mm Magnum, etc.)
Adequate ammunition stores must be provided for EACH gun in the arsenal, as
well as all the things that go with guns (repair parts, reloading equipment,
ammo components, extra magazines, bandoliers, holsters, cleaning equipment,
ammo boxes, carrying cases, etc.).
4.Store
up other survival components such as many hand tools, heavy-duty
"work" clothes, medicines & medical supplies, communications
equipment, energy supplies, hygienic supplies, camping equipment &
supplies, ropes, bags, boxes, fishing equipment, fire starters, etc., etc.
5.
Rough it! Cut your standard of living
down to a FRUGAL LIFE
STYLE. Particularly avoid eating
out, fast food & pleasure vacations. Do NOT get a second job or make any
outstanding efforts to pay off consumer debts costing 2% or more below your
inflationary rate. Right now, you need more than anything else the time to
properly prepare you and your loved ones' survival when the collapse occurs.
Having all the gear on hand is only 50% of the survival effort - you must be
practiced and knowledgeable with their uses. When the crunch hits, if you don't
start high on the survival learning curve, chances are you won't live beyond
the first month.
1. Do NOT invest in one bag of silver coins per family
member as Howard Ruff suggests! Believe me, they'll be few active coin
collectors around after the shit hits the fan! Silver MAY be worth something,
then again you coins may be as valuable as Confederate dollars were after the
Civil War. But ammo will certainly become extremely valuable. Your best bet is
.22 LR and shotgun ammo (12 gauge only) - these items translate directly into
physical survival. So, after you have satisfied all of your other survival
needs, invest ALL of your extra money into guns and ammo -particularly ammo!
2.
Get into excellent physical condition. Play some racket ball sport to build
speed, coordination, and maneuverability; lift weights to build substantial
upper body strength; and run (I didn't say jog) on steep inclines and rough
terrain to build endurance and leg power. But start gradually and work steadily
(you don't want to injure yourself in your enthusiasm) and get yourself checked
out by a physician because THAT would kill you faster and more surely than all
the above cataclysms put together.
DO:
*
Drinking water (bottled or otherwise) to last a family for at least one week.
* Washing and cooking water for the same period.
* At least a week's worth of beans, rice, canned goods, vegetables.
* Portable radio, preferably with single sideband shortwave capacity.
* Batteries for flashlight, portable radios.
* Extra supplies for infants, ill persons.
* Make sure your car's tank is full and store additional gas if possible.
* Cash in $20 or lower denominations (as much as you can safely store).
* Fuel for the fireplace or cooking fires to last at least a week.
* A firearm (pistol, rifle, shotgun) for security. ENTIRE LIST
OF NEEDED ITEMS. (click

DON'T: rely on frozen foods
(unless you have BIG generator) because your electricity supply may be
interrupted.
* Don't panic. If Americans can't ride out the L.A. RIOTS, Lights out in NEW
ENGLAND many times, Y2K, the Cuban Missile threat as it did, various and sundry
huge quakes, even if the economy is disrupted severely, we’d be pretty pale
reflections of our forefathers if we couldn't eat beans in the dark for a week
at the drop of a bomb.
