Received via email from Manos June 6, 2012

Hi guys,

The daily life is still the same.

Things keep going because some divine hand still help us.

You wake up in the morning having no mood at all. And it’s this heat which destroys your brain cells. Today, it’s 34 degrees Celsius.

I’ve kept a small amount of around 250 euros, to buy some final provisions. Mostly meat cans, vitamins, and dried bread. I will store them to my parents’ basement, in order to have alternative escape plans.

The rumor about a power shortage is more and more been discussed around people, and alternative media.

It’s being said that the Power Company is no longer having the money to purchase coal and diesel.

We don’t have a generator for home use, so in case of a failure, we must consume all refrigerator food first.

My wife bought two big camping gas devices, with many spare bottles of gas. We can cook all meat and veggies, and then share them with the rest of the family.

My shotgun is full and well equipped. I hope i don’t need to use it.

My car had a small steering wheel failure last Friday, and i had to fix immediately. I don’t know if we have to leave the town in a rush.

I tried to find a small hut in the property but nobody sells at all.

Prices are so low, that they don’t want to sell their properties for nothing. I’m considering to buy a caravan and put it in the biggest olive-field. A small one with 2 beds, light enough to be dragged by my car, costs around 5.000 euros.

Today the stock market is going upwards, but soon enough the final collapse will occur. Spain is going down rapidly.

I’ll keep posting as long as I can. Don’t worry, I’m fully equipped and prepared.

Just take care of yourselves and families.

When the things reach to your neighborhood, you will have to fight.

Your fellow citizens are still living in their utopia. When they realize the danger, they will turn into ruthless beasts.

I pray for you all.

God Bless you

We wish our friend Manos the very best, as his family and countrymen are on the frontlines of an economic collapse that is about to affect every developed nation in the world.

Take his warnings to heart and prepare, because once the final phase of the breakdown begins it will be too late.

Yes, it is.

A quick prayer lofted for your friend Manos. Small communities can survive this - Greek history is full of that. Large ones with central institutions and central planning, won’t, and too much of Greece, and too much of America, have become precisely that.

Two things to consider when facing such disasters. The first is how rapidly they are taking place, and the second is how to mitigate them.

To start with as far as Greece goes, they are effectively moving to a state of anarchy, as what passes for government is unwilling to govern.

The best mitigation to this is an alternative form of government that is not official, but efficient. It is the recognition that the legitimacy of government comes from the social contract, but in hard times only those who sign on to the social contract can benefit from government.

“Those who work not shall not eat.”

What existed before, all the credits and debts and promises, are done. No one is retired, and nothing is free to anyone. Riot if you like until you starve, but nobody will give you anything for your demands.

If the situation degenerates too badly, there will be a mass exodus, until other countries close their borders. So if you think you could leave, and you can leave, leave before the quarantine begins.

The vast majority of people abhor anarchy, so it never lasts long unsupported by violent gangs that feed on it. But if they do not materialize, then order will reemerge quickly.
