thx rc…i got sharon read and bookmarked. i’m thinking it is the “meek” that shall inherit…a couple of years ago a well loved friend told me the indigenous/primitive are the teachers, they will know how, they will survive. (probably not even change their lives much?) i spose for the urban matters, it will be the homeless with the know how? i’m sure these women crossing the border are learning the survival skills it will take, albeit, the hard/unfair way. hopefully they won’t be jailed. how will this apocalyptic future affect those imprisoned by a system? how to help them? vote? ::jeje sadly::.
i’ve been long time in want of a good tea party. (for the change of the hierarchy to be realistic.) sometimes all seems efforts in futility, except for what one does in ones own back yard, of course. a hammock a symbol of common sense luxury.
how does the unification of so many like minds, take place with huge geographical distances, so we can be of use and/or purpose, (for ourselves and each other)? how can this information, wildcard (as chicano2nd calls it), best be played, to act on what we are shown?
i am knowing to go to the local health food store, library, where ever to see what this community is doing that serves the now, (for the later…) what sharon and you speak of was a way of life for me for many years, kinda shelved semi-unconciously, so i could experience the urban experience i spoke of earlier.
i guess the smoke is in the air…just not thick enuf to slap us in the face?
i envy your position in location and ability rc.
nezua…thank you for letting us digress from the original topic and giving us a platform for this discussion. do i justify my thinking that, these women are learning the skills that will get them through what is to come, and the so called “privileged” will not have a clue about. is it just something that helps me in my living with the knowledge of hungry and displaced families, individuals, injustice? yes, i want karma to be real…but i don’t want anyone to suffer. i do come to this site so you keep me appraised of such matters.
i am not the sharpest tool in the shed. i realize this is a long and random post. i submit this with some apprehension of being appropriate and or sounding __________ (fill in the blank, rhetorically please.)

Sweetleaf, Sharon has tons of practical ideas that you can use right now. She sets the tone somewhere between catastrophic and hilarious, which seems about right to me.

The implosion is the falling apart of all the interconnected sectors of energy, manufacture, farming, credit and finance, government and non government organizations and the repercussions of that fall on an international basis.
It will lead directly to the reanimation of Classic Anarchy, which is often mistakenly identified as chaos and bomb throwing. It is in fact the lack of hierarchy. We will have to do more with less and do it on our own along with a few neighbors. Rural settings requiring no heating, having no winter, and with available water, as has been the case since the dawn of civilization, will do just fine as soon as they reach a new state of equilibrium. Other places will not do well. Cities will exist just as they have existed in the ancient past in the cradle of civilization, but they will be completely unlike modern high energy cities –
unless nuclear gets reintroduced in a big way.
Both of the likely winners in the US {McCain Obama} have declared for nuclear. But it will take 15 years to gear up. Meanwhile, grow food, have a nice place to live. Set up a hammock. Take naps. We are going to have a long time out.

scary stuff, but real enuf. i would bail if i could. i can’t move next door without notification. i suppose though, if we smell smoke here, it’ll be smelled around the world? however, i would prefer to smell it in the more idyllic setting i picture you in rc. i have always loved a garden. i have been sensing the friction/tension of pre-implosion…that maybe you are speaking of.

This is as good a time as any to break the news to you Nez. All of the population of the US is about to feel what desperation is BIG TIME.
Move to a warm place, have permanent shelter that you own, have food growing there. I would be outside the US if possible. {I am.}
The whole superstructure and infrastructure is about to fall inward.
Don’t be screwing around while that happens.
I’m already all set up, have been for decades.
All the same, I find nothing to make me happy in the idea that a once admirable nation with an ideal constitution will never complete the arc to perfection.
It came surprisingly close despite the fact that humans were in charge.
But that’s over now. The good times ARE all gone, it’s time for moving on.
Pay attention, you’ll smell the smoke on the wind soon.

i feel like i can’t shake my head hard enough, roll my eyes often enough, show enough people the gaping holes in this kind of “writing.” like, dude, come ON. what do 3 hungry women have to do w/ rapists? are they rounding up white college frat boys who heckle women in the streets where i live? come on. it makes me sick. it makes me angry. i want to break things when i hear and read crap like that.

but instead i’ll rant and remind my coworkers that their comfy municipal jobs cannot possibly be taken by the same folks they proclaim to fear or dislike, and i’ll take action whenever possible . . .

i think my writer’s block has just been broken. thx, nezua!

[...] This post – I love that the title has a sort of poetic violence to its vibe, because I feel like what Nez describes and condemns is violence and his expressions of outrage are often poetic, at least to this reader’s eyes and mind. [...]
