Woke up very early this AM with a nightmare that the meteor story is TRUE. Don’t know if it’s 2012 or when, but the rising price of food and oil along with hoarding by governments is EXACTLY what I would expect if a meteor strike were imminent.
If we had real leaders they would be drafting everyone to construct shelters, slaughtering most livestock, planting every field fencerow to fencerow, and storing every necessity to keep the maximum number of people alive for years in the shelters.
Am I paranoid or is something really up? My gut tells me something could be afoot.
It’s always a good time to prepare. I hope my fellow Freepers are doing so.
BTW, when I was an aerospace engineer I actually was involved in a study of the effects of a major, Extinction Level Event (ELE). Humans CAN survive, but they must have provisions sufficient to stay in underground shelters for YEARS.
First, the shelter must be built to survive earthquakes of incredible magnitude since the shockwaves will ring this planet like a bell. Military style log or concrete bunkers under 20’ of earth will survive such shockwaves.
They will require a way to filter and COOL the air supply (pumping air through wellwater can do both) because an ELE will heat the atmosphere to at least several hundred degrees. Later, it will get very cold as the dust and smoke block out Solar heat.
Would our leaders really stock shelters for the elite while keeping the peasants in the dark to avoid panic?
I grew up amongst the southern tribes Navajo and Apache, and they believe it. The northern tribes where I now live believe it.
And If I'm wrong?
Oh well,my grandkids will have a small ranch to ride horse and trail bikes.
As to the elites? Looking out for number ONE?
Why did the Bush family buy umpteen thousands of acres in So. America?
Why is Ted Turner the largest landowner - outside of.gov ? And even in a poor economy - food prices continue to go up. There are some very wealthy people and all the power and influence that money brings - all believe the Earth's population should not exceed 500 million. One shaman (or Elder) of the Navajo tribe told me that the Earth will lose 80% of it's people. That still leaves (approx) 1.2 billion...(See Georgia Stones)
Now take a look at our foreign aid programs, both official and NGO.
What is the first thing they do when they try to help?
Destroy the local farm economy and put folks in camps (where they quickly become dependent on outside supplies.
Another bit of info I confirmed today: All these "Save the worm/earth/whales/rare flower types? They are buying land in various locations to save the above listed plants/animals or whatever.
But notice just where these now tax exempt properties are located: Always in valleys, always with surface water,always with timber - all tax exempt. So when the SHTF, they'll have a bug out location.
