I just finished smoke-roasting the first batch of Ancho peppers out of this year’s garden. They are excellent to rehydrate and will make a pot of beans taste anything but mundane. I used mesquite charcoal and mesquite chunks in the little smoker, and left the peppers in there till they were black and dessicated...

And another case of TP is always in order....

Germany will lead a revived European empire that will arise out of the turmoil. It will be fueled anti-israel rhetoric which will resonate across Europe..especially in those countries where Muslims have infiltrated. The culmination will be a declaration of war on Israel....and THEN it gets interesting...

Sorry, you’re still thinking in logical terms. Think chaos and you will be much closer to what is gong to be happening.

Our problem is that we continue to think in normal terms instead of the conflict that is coming. Thanks goodness for our level-headed politicians that haven’t a clue.

The US is and will not be immune to the chaos. When it does occur (surprise to all our leaders and news folks), it will be too late to prepare.

Sorry, but this time, the US will become part of the rioting. After all, we have reached a tipping point - more than half of the population now depends upon the government for their assistance.

There is a very high probability of war that comes out of this, although the exact trigger is not something I can forecast.

I think we are already starting to see the end. Already we have the flash mobs gathering and stealing essentials like big screen TVs, clothes, expensive sneakers, etc. The big sophisticated cities will be the first to fall. All common citizens of those cities have been disarmed and only the authorities and the criminals (the ones without uniforms) have weapons. Wouldn’t want to be in that fire zone .. too dangerous to defend yourself with rocks and sticks!

[There is a very high probability of war that comes out of this, although the exact trigger is not something I can forecast. War is the classical solution to these problems, and it is unlikely to be different this time.]

I just published “Surviving Civil War II”. This war will look a lot different. But it will be over debt slavery.

You know, a few years ago what you say would have struck many as far-fetched. However, that is changing. I met a Scottish fellow on line. We yakked back and forth for about a year before we got deeply into politics. He is a big supporter of the new Scottish Independence party (whatever their name is) that did so well in the last election.
I told him good luck, but be careful that they have socialist leanings. He said that is quite alright. I countered that it could lead to having a tyrannous type of government and he said that most of them think that having a “strongman” was a good idea and that they need some one to stand up to the “evil Jews”. At first i thought he was pulling my chain. When I figured out that he meant it I broke contact and have not talked to him since.
I fervently hope that you are wrong, but.....

Are you sure this guy is playing with a full deck?

He calls Sarah a joke. I'm not enthused about her running for president, but calling her a joke is ridiculous.

This is rather poetic justice....Germany is leveled in WWII...even the leveling...didn't stop Germans from being who Germans are...highly successful people...now Europe is looking to Germany, of all places, to pull their sorry A$$'s out of the financial hole they've made for themselves.

Even more poetic is the fact that Germany tried to take over Europe four times in the last 200 years, and lost every time. Now they're being offered to buy it, cheap, because the current owners can't afford it, and they're declining.

I'm sure the Kaiser is rolling in his grave at this. ;-)

In short, we're about to have a perfect repeat of the 1930's: economic depression, increasing political extremism, and in the end a general world war as countries realize the only way they can get resources is to take them by force.

And with thousands of active nuclear weapons still around, the prospect of 1/3 the human race being decimated immediately from the effects of a nuclear exchange is frightening, to say the least. Just an exchange between China and India could kill over 200 million people....
