  1. Every day I read how there is a stock bubble, housing bubble, currency collapse coming, the environment is past its tipping point, possibility of nuclear war, open borders to the welfare state are creating havoc, and the nwo and agenda 2030 are right on track to enslave us all, along with many other indicators of impending doom. There are many facts to support all this, and there are definitely bad things happening, but what if it is just hyperanalysis and over dramatization now that info is so readily available and a big disaster is not so imminent? Trump is Satan incarnate if you listen to leftist media, but in reality looking neutrally he is no worse than any other president - they all had pros and cons. Changes are happening and more coming, but is it all as “end times” dire as it seems? Disaster is always imminent and looking back at the past even recently we made it through the economy in 2008 and through 9-11/ iraq etc, are we getting overly concerned about a collapse that won’t happen, or that won’t be so immediately catastrophic? For example, there is a seemingly imminent housing bubble ready to pop in canada- especially bc and ontario- yet in spite of the doom and gloom, Warren Buffet one of the most successful investors of all time bought into it and bet against it- successfully so far-https://www.fool.ca/2017/08/30/was-warren-buffetts-bet-against-canadian-housing-market-crash-right/ If it is really any day now that it all comes apart then we better all live like it will be our last chance - focus on the short term and checking off our bucket lists (which also ironically could make the debt bubble bigger depending on what you want to do, but if it is already imminent...) but if it isn’t, putting in tons of work building a business or working extra for that promotion for example - looking at the long term is important - but why put in hard work for future gain which won’t exist? Is prepping the only long term plan that will matter? So my question is- Are things really as “end times” dire as they seem, or just a bit more of the “same old” amplified due to media - (maybe we just didn’t know or see/hear as much before) and what is the most useful mindset and way of planning going forward in these times?
  2. "I care not who throws the spear truest or who culls the beast most efficiently for I declare this land around me my property and my relatives the sole heirs to all that I see and will kill those who challenge this fact. " first Sumerian king 4000 BC, “Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who writes the laws.” Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812), founder of the House of Rothschild. "It matters not who controls the money supply, so long as we have the access codes" NSA operative inter sectional memorandum 1982 No one can remember what triggered the global collapse, the Ebola that killed thousands, the Ukrainian crisis that ended with Russia victorious and the ultimate demise of NATO in the face of ultimate defeat with the threat not of nuclear holocaust but of cold homes due to a total shut off of natural gas to Western Europe. None could have predicated how fast the US dollar and euro would disappear, that the new world currency would be competing gold/silver/commodity backed cryptocurrencies. That the mega empires of the European Union and the United States would disappear. That with the collapse of these empires so gone were the media industrial complexes, the military industrial complexes, and the welfare state complexes. Without the bread and circuses provided by the trusted "mainstream Media" consisting of a constant barrage of cultural Marxist thought perpetuated by the trusted mediums of the day, television, movies, music, social media and large internet media providers along with "EBT" cards, subsidized housing, welfare checks, subsidized junk food (corn subsidies), long simmering racial/ethnic/religious tensions exploded. The police would be overwhelmed in a matter of weeks, the military was to busy trying to prevent the implosion of the empire to control the streets, chaos anarchy gained a foothold, genocide came back as it always does in times of crisis. syndicates based on religious racial divides naturally sprung from the destruction of the collapse. La RAza, black nationalist movements Mormons, fundamentalist Christians and white nationalist movements would take the place of the state just as the catholic church replaced the roman empire after its collapse in western Europe. The medium of exchange would drop to barter during the darkest days of the neo dark age that swept across the globe. Russia, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand,Scandinavian and the former soviet states would fare the best after the collapse due to their low populations relative to endemic natural resources, these states did not suffer the die offs the the rest of the overpopulated world did. These countries would be the preservation capsules of civilization as the rest of the world degenerated into chaos. ​During the rebirth of the new Renaissance the medium of exchange would rise at first it would be commodities of power, coal oil, grains clean water, then gold and silver would replace the commodities, after a sufficient amount of trust was granted amoungst the few trading partners left. Finally a new breed of techno goldsmiths would rise to become the new rulers of the world. These smiths would exchange gold/silver backed crypto currencies using anonymous clearing houses which will be necessary for the piracy of the time. The rise of these new cryptocurrencies would make way for cryptocracies or cryptocurrency backed syndicates like the British east India company of the past. These syndicates will begin to dominate the world and bring about a cybernetic technocratic cryptocracy which will bring about the singularity predicted by Ray kuzweil.
  3. So have any of you ever thought about what you would do if you survived the first days of panic in a zombie apocalypse? I have had fun thinking about it and at one point I came across a really deep question while watching The Walking Dead. Are you allowed to shoot someone on sight if everyone you have met so far has done it to you? I mean you can't know what is this particular persons plan, but you can pretty safely assume he is going to try to kill you like everyone else. Would you have the moral duty to take your chances, or are you allowed to kill him? It is easy to say that it is "either him or me", but you can't be sure about it. What if you have kids or a loved one with you? Does killing someone to protect your family from POTENTIAL danger make you a bad person? I know that many people would just shut these questions out during an outbreak but I want to really think about it. This fits to almost any disaster scenario where chaos breaks out. Are you allowed to do whatever it takes to survive in a life threatening situation? Who are the most valuable people? Are everyone equally valuable, so if your kids are in potential danger you are still not allowed to take aggressive action? I have always had a very strict NO to this question, but I want to hear your opinion as well! "In this life now, you kill or you die... Or you die and you kill." -Philip Blake Markus FIN
