Ej...................MIA ?

Re: Ej...................MIA ?

Most of you are too young to remember the Cuban missile crisis or the effects of the Vietnam war if you were of draft age. We may have difficult times ahead, but it's probably not the end of the world. Be thankful you have found a guide for whatever is to come, so you can be prepared for you family.

I agree. Personally, I'm gearing for a potentially worse variant of the 70s.

Growing up in that time-period, my family bought some land in the country where we could grow food, chickens, a cow or two. We also were big into solar water-heaters, greenhouses and wood-burning stoves. Then the times changed, people adjusted and we moved on.

There is no doubt some hard times are ahead -- very hard potentially for those who aren't (or can't) prepare. Doubtless that will lead to social unrest.

And a piece of advice, EJ -- just lay it out. It's not like you're speaking to a bunch of wide-eyed optimists here. And who knows, maybe we'll be the ones to convince *you* it won't be that bad.

Groan...what, you're saying I should re-subscribe to Martenson's "Kill a cow with your bare hands and cook it with three sticks and a solar-powered oven made out of scavenged aluminum" blog? ;-)

Actually, I liked Martenson's site when he first came out with it, but as you've noted, it's fallen into the hands of quacks and fanatics....

It is hard to say what EJ means with this statement. Either way, I wish he hadn't teased us with it and just said his peace. Had trouble sleeping last night. Even had a dream about it. And then I had a funny dream about guiding a little frog along, which was nice.

Paris backs Syria no-fly zone as fighting grows

BEIRUT (AP) — France signaled Thursday that it was prepared to take part in enforcing a partial no-fly zone over Syria, piling pressure on President Bashar Assad's embattled regime as it widens a major offensive against rebels in Damascus and surrounding areas.

Most of these last two months I have spent trying to figure out how to ease you all into this but I have still not yet devised a way.

I hope you have all enjoyed this last summer of our innocence and that you are prepared for what comes next.

Ej...............No worries
These Western impealist dogs have not got the balls to try to front major powers, let alone China/Russia. They suddenly find themselves fighting a MEGA large front.........all the way from Afgan-i-stan to Iraq to Iran.........BTW have you seen this?

We shouldn't be surprised about this. The Middle East has been a chess game for decades now. These things rarely end in compromise. They end with one power dominating everyone else: a reassertion of power or a changing of the guard.

MEGA, we have our faults, but do you really want to witness a "changing of the guard?" Personally, I would rather read about such events in the history books than to experience those kind of events in my lifetime. But I fear we are approaching one of those watershed events of history, it's unavoidable.

Re: Ej...................MIA ?

I *think* I am prepared, but any insight into how you think we ought to be preparing would be helpful! For me, the priority is suggestions for preparedness. If your elaboration on details of the root cause(s) has to wait, so be it.

I want to extend an offer to try to help anyone if they feel they need anything. I don't have much myself, but in times like these, I think communities like ours should come together to help each other.

No easing please just elaboration,even if over PM

Yes, please.

This is pretty disturbing to see EJ, usually a very moderate person, take such a dark tone.

This does nothing good for my anxiety...at all.

Mike, EJ has helped me earn lots of money, just with his advice of investing in gold. Don't torture yourself, pay iTulip 200 bucks, and be free to fully enjoy all his articles.
