Whatever "we" may "be" to
"them," who what when where why and how I am to myself
is what matters most, not just to me, but to everyone else too.
So whatever else I might say is really for me, and you can read it if you want
or not, it doesn't matter, unless it does to you. For myself, I'm
accepting my hamsterhood, but not as a mindless hamster. I'm a hamster
that knows he's a hamster. As such, I'm asking myself how can I best
position myself and my most immediate loved ones for what's coming to
the extent that I can know what's coming. Every piece of information,
every opinion, every whatever that comes to my attention, I try to receive and
process as an answer to my question of how do I position myself for what's
coming. But that question is within a context: given I'd like to maintain
some semblance of what is to me a relatively basic lifestyle (which isn't basic
at all considering I have running tap water, an indoor toilet that runs to
a sewer [that runs to where I choose not to think about], lights (and
various applicances), cable lines for my TV and internet access, and I
haven't even walked outside to my garage), I guess the answer begins with
an answer to the question, How can I position
myself? Factor in how much will be decided for me., and I'm not sure what
it is I'm really left with. Will I need bars on my
windows? Shall I plan on waiting in line for long hours for a grain
of rice? Will I be reduced to absolute hamsterdom? I'm going
for a walk. Mike DuPree

Telegraph - US "could be going bankrupt"
"they" understand this better than most of us and I assure you the crash
of the dollar will be an opportunity to them. They will purchase real assets
for pennies. "They" steal it all back so they can then sell it back to us for
another generations labor. We are hamsters or "coppertops". A
consumable.
if
the us government admits it is bankrupt, the dollar will be bunk. noone
will want it, or if they do accept it, the exchange rate will be
horrifying,
all those millions of dollars "they" have squirreled away
will be worth
tens, maybe hundreds if they are lucky. all of this
because noone has any
reason to come to us other than to exploit our
weakness, as we have to
others for so long. "made in america" will be
equivalent to what "Made in
Japan" meant sixty years ago. well be making
cocktail umbrellas for less
than minimum wage because we have no other
option. cities will bcome rattier
and even more degenerate than they
are, and there will most likely be food
riots, and street battles
between the authorities and civilian dissidents.
think about every high
power that has ever fallen face first, and what
happened in the
aftermath. it wont be pretty. as for people in the cities
they have
alternatives, they just dont use them wether through not knowing
or just
plain stupidity, mostly because they wont approach anyone to ask
them.
the elderly and the young will most likely be helped by their families
and friends either through love or common decency.

A lot of things have to
stay functional. Power, roads, fuel, water and food
to name a few.
People who live in cities have few alternatives. Also elderly
and very
young.
The bulk of the suffering will be borne by the poor - the
corporate and
governmental psychopaths have the money to go elsewhere to
their villas.
