Hi again,,

Well Jack,, I must say that you hit the nail on the head, that is EXACTLY what it means. I am well aware of tricks the credit card companies use and feel I am a better then average steward of my personal finances but THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I have HAD to use credit cards to actually pay utilities like electric and things I would ONLY do as a last resort.

Hello

I have been reading this thread from the beginning .

If you are not smart then you deserve to be punished , that is all Light's views are based on .

In other words , Light is stating that if you are dumb , you deserve to be punished .

Please correct me if I am wrong Light .

Isn't that essentially what you are defending ?

I'm amazed that some on this thread seem to think Inflation is some Law of Nature. It is simply an illegal and hidden tax. When they print money out of thin air it makes the dollars in your savings become worth less. A system first used by Monarchs in Europe centuries ago to tax the people into servitude without them knowing it. Taxation without Representation.

This is exactly why the Constitution states that only Congress shall issue COINAGE. The private banking cartel created under the Federal Reserve act to create Debt for the Government is totally illegal. The Fractional Banking system used to lend Debt to people, with interest even, is fraud sanctioned by the Government.

Greed has driven every fiat currency to its grave and many people with them.

I agree there are ways ......I have often thought about using actual money as a voting system, simply because it already exists, is accepted as government approved currency (LEGAL TENDER) and each bill has its own serial #. Its kind of like Fiat D.N.A. You just need to create a way of allowing voters to use the dollar and their ss # to register a vote. Then you need a way to ensure it all matches after the results are in. Kind of like checking a lottery ticket.

If you wait to take action until you are certain of the enemy's position, strength, and intentions, you will never act. Yet to act without knowledge is to plunge into a trap (if your enemy is agressive) or waste your strength on meaningless maneuvers (if your enemy chooses to avoid you). - Card

All the common people want is to be left alone. All the ordinary soldier wants is to collect his pay and not get killed. That's why the great forces of history can be manipulated by astonishingly small groups of getermined people. - Card

I think these tidbits shine some light on our current predicament.

I think its at the point that its wise to consider a stockpile of survival provisions and a place to safely use them. The threat of an impending viral pandemic or economic collapse or both or worse should at least vault us to our senses.
I would be very much interested in a list of survival items that have been well researched and approved as necessary.
If you never need them thats great, if you do well......
I was thinking about getting acerage in a remote wooded/streamed area and using that as a last resort base. Where I live a place like that is cheap and not easily accessable.

There is much discussion in the survival forum on what one should have in preperation for various doonsday/NWO scenarios.

I personally have no financial means to make any significant preperations. So, I keep a US Army survival manual handy. I may go buy the updated version since this one is a few years old now, if it has more content, but the basic elements of survival never really change. The key to surviving is confidence. Man existed for many thousands of years without any of the conveniences we enjoy today. The leap may be difficult to resort to basic instinct and natural ingenuity, but we are all born with the tools of survival. Anything I will need in case of emergency, can be procured from my natural environment, and forcefully if necessary from competitors in human society.

If I had the means to go off the other end, I would certainly buy a big chunk of remote land. This may cause a problem in the long run though, given that there are no significant predictors of exactly how any known threat will evolve. The land I buy may end up being buried under a super volcano, may be smack in the middle of an area where everyone else runs, or may be well behind enemy lines. Nevertheless, I still wish I had a big chunk of land that I could at least turn into a staging area for preperations.

If I already had the financial resources to do so, I would make preperations to house, feed, equip, and transport a platoon level force of people. 40-50 people working together can be a very formidable force both against man and nature. Now I am not necessarily talking about an outright military platoon structure either. Women and children will most certainly be included, and everyone will have their jobs to do. But with this many people working together, there is not much that cannot be accomplished. Anything from building durable shelter, to securing and processing food resources, to raiding/foraging for needed goods. And of course, eliminating any and all who would attempt to interfere with our survival.

Somewhere in between is where most people should be looking to prepare for emergency, wether it be a natural, political, or military disaster. Get a duffle bag for each person in your family. Throw in a change of clothing, and two changes of underclothes. A first aid kit, but nothing so big that it contains items you do not know how to use. A few Bic lighters (dont go generic on this) and a box of waterproof matches. A magnifying glass to make fire when the sun is out, saving your fire resource. A few candles. Fishing line and hooks. (Rod, reel, tackle you may want to bring, but not in your emergency "GO" bag.) Some small cookware and eating utensils. A multi-use utility knife can be used for food preperation as well. When cleaning game you will need a good, very sharp but small knife, so don't bother buying some big Rambo knife. I'm preferential to a Gerber blade. You can make do with anything, but I would spend the money and get a few really good purpose-minded knives. A hatchet. Well. A few military grade MRE's is a good idea, but keep in mind that you will only be using them when in dire need. Procure food from your surroundings first, because once the MRE's are opened, you won't have them anymore. Basic toiletries. Your survival manual.

Keep in mind that everyone in your family should have a "GO" bag, and be fully capable of utilizing its contents. Some adjustments may need to be made based on environment such as extra clothing in cold weather, or sun block in the desert. You may wish to keep water containers stored and ready to go as well if the resource is scarce where you are or where you plan to go. You may wish to add a few random comfort items, or items such as a radio and a few batteries. Perhaps a flashlight. Keep in mind though, carrying things you don't really need can have negative effects. The more you have to remember to grab, the slower your evacuation. For the "GO" bag, keep it simple.

If you intend to stockpile provisions, remember to rotate your stock. Keep in mind how long the stockpile will last before you must forage for more. Whenever possible, utilize outside food sources before touching your stockpile. It may be easier and safer to eat the food you have stored, but if there's only a one month supply and it's January in New York, you better get out in the cold to find food for as many hours aas you can.

Well, that's my general take on survival preperation anyway.

I really like the 40-50 in a group idea. It certainly would discourage smaller packs of scavengers.

Absolutely ludicrous.

I have heard too many stories of well-balanced, good people who had their finances mapped out to the T... losing everything because of one stay at the hospital.

The fact that you two can sit in here and talk about the average citizen like they don't DESERVE to have a WORKING monetary system makes me sick. For every person who is bankrupt and un-deserving, you throw your hands up and declare that 'OH EVERYONE is just BAD WITH MONEY'.

It's disgusting how some of us are so thoroughly trained to BLAME OURSELVES and BLAME OTHERS for the problems of a system designed by satanists and illuminists. Yeah... it's our fault because we buy things we can't afford. That's why we can hardly afford to feed ourselves and pay rent every month. WE're just too STUPID to keep inflation down

I am a principal of a business called Bankbeaters. Every day, EVERY SINGLE DAY, we are directly contacted by people who lose hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of dollars to banks, who simply TAKE the money, by failing to honour direct debit requests, varying when the money is taken out, charging penalty fees to which they are not entitled at law at all, and on and on and on. It is no trouble at all for a bank account to go from ten grand up to ten grand down and all the rest... All through bank charges that are illegal. So apologists for the NWO: pull the other one!
