For those who haven’t prepared and would like to start or for those that have and are just interested you may download my Preparedness Manual at:

As the LDS say “When the emergency is upon us the time for preparedness has past.”
Or as the bible says: A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
NIV Proverbs 22:3

It’s not suddenly.
Lots of people have been saying this for some time.
Geez
Screw the commodities! I have so many potatoes and cabbages growing this year, all I am missing is the gulag...
If we don’t eat them all we can always make vodka. If you stop by the house, bring your own shovel....
Those guys are pikers.
When Jim Thompson says it’s bad I’ll believe it.
Nouriel Roubini and Jim Rogers have been on this since before the meltdown. They are not Johnny come lately’s to this thinking. A lot more have been on this as well. The difference now that has the news finally bubbling up to the public is that the MSM can’t hide the truth anymore. Things are so blatantly bad, they don’t know how to hide it. It is about time.
For those with little outdoor space.

And anyone who doesn’t have “stuff” on hand is going to be sorry. Unavailable, very expensive, junk quality, not your size, etc. Things you can make are one thing (for instance, I have yards and yards and yards of many kinds of fabric, sewing supplies, sewing machines including foot pedal) but shoes? I can’t make shoes. Socks are hard too.
You think that is scary, watch this.
THE DECLINE: The Geography of a Recession

Has the president ever taken Econ 101a and b? Who was the professor? What were the textbooks? What were his letter grades?
Proof in the form of official transcripts would seem appropriate.

That implies this was unexpected, considering the prices of commodities and the trends, I'd say this was expected.
In before the living in fantasyland naysayers.
Good sound advice.
I’ve heard that the price of cotton has even gone up some.
We’re looking at cars and the guy we’ve been going to says the used car market is going crazy. They’re way up in price because of demand.
Next? We aren’t done with the current model yet. When you fall off a cliff chances are that you will bump and carom off some crags on the way down, may even bounce back upward a few inches once or twice if your body is resilient. The Great Depression was not one continuous curve down then up but a series of dips and trumpeted recoveries. The bottom of the ocean is not a smooth bowl but it is all still the bottom.
Ditto. If you have not already stocked up better get cracking.
*David M. Blitzer, Chairman of the Index Committee at S&P Indices: "Home prices continue on their downward spiral with no relief in sight."
On this one, I would comment: The downward spiral IS the relief. It's called a "correction" for a reason.
Otherwise, I agree with being prepared.
The “system” is not working right because we are a constitutional Republic being shaken down and over-lorded by a corrupt olagarchy of globalists who have no respect for old fashioned notions of nations with borders and the rule of law.
Globalism will crash this country if we don’t derail the train wreck and re-establish the constitutional Republic. Since there is a snowball’s chance in hell that will happen, we are going to crash.
