But then where will they get the loot they need. They sure can not make any money stealing taxes from cavemen. What will they charge. Two squirrels and a Coon Skin?

It becomes a Catch 22 for them.

What they have to do then,is tolerate a certain level or environmentally unfriendly creature comforts to the unwashed so that we can continue to support them in the manner in which they are accustomed to live

This must be the so called 3rd way. A totalitarian police state with Just enough privileges granted to us peons to work and keep the parasites alive and well fed.

I have to admit I am hot and cold on bucket potatoes. Mine look good and the buckets are full of compost with the plant a good foot taller than the bucket, but the potatoes I planted in rows long after the bucket ones blossomed earlier and are greener and generally healthier looking than the bucket ones. I guess the proof of the pudding will be at harvest time. Will keep you posted.

What a fantastic source of great info.. Thanks

Ok , It’s Friday, and time for the Flashback to WTBS (Teddy Turner’s Superstation back in 1980) and

“The GOOD NEWS” /s

THE DARK YEARS

In the next few months we will see the start of the Dark Years. For the first time in the history of the world there will be a synchronised downturn affecting all nations (although some a lot worse than others).This is the culmination of the world and especially the Western world, living above its means for decades in a mania of credit bubbles, asset bubbles, real estate bubbles as well as excesses leading to decadence and a society with very weak moral and ethical values. (Of course no society recognises this as it is happening but only afterwards). Governments have fuelled this process by printing unlimited amounts of paper thus destroying the money and purchasing power of most nations.

The Dark Years will be extremely severe for most countries both financially and socially. In many countries in the Western world there will be a severe depression and it will be the end of the welfare state. Most private and state pension schemes are also likely to collapse. It will be a worldwide depression but some countries may only have a deep recession. There will be famine, homelessness and misery resulting in social as well as political unrest. Different type of government leaders and regimes are likely to result from this.

How long will the Dark Years last? There is a book called ”The Fourth Turning” written by Neil Howe. He has identified a pattern that repeats itself every 80 years. The pattern has been extremely accurate in the Anglophile world. We have recently entered the Fourth Turning which is the final 20 years of the cycle. According to Howe we are in the early stages of a 20 year period of economic and institutional upheaval. This is a period of Crisis when the fabric of society will change dramatically. Previous Fourth Turnings have been the American Revolution, Great Depression and World War II. According to Howe the Crisis will be substantially worse before it is over and it will last for another circa 20 years.

All of this is not good news and we hope that we and Howe are wrong regarding the severity and length of this crisis. But we fear that we are both right. We must stress again that never previously has the the whole world entered a downturn simultaneously in such a fragile state both financially and economically which is why the Dark Years are likely to be so devastating and long lasting.

I highly recommend learning how to brew beer even if you don't drink the stuff. It's a relatively easy skill to learn.

Beer will be a fabulous barter item during the coming collapse.
