For anyone who hasn't read it, you really should read the short essay "I, Pencil."
Best to read the whole thing, but a summary - nobody on Earth knows how to make something as simple as a pencil. No one person knows all the knowledge required to make the resin, or the tree-cutting equipment, or the lead (not actually lead), or the 'rubber' (not actually rubber) or the brass to hold the rubber in place, let alone the railway tracks and paper sacks and diesel fuel and all the other things involved in modern pencil production and distribution.
And that essay was written about 60 years ago. Pretty much everything around us today is vastly more complex, interconnected and vulnerable to disruption than a pencil.
The free market, when and where left alone, has created an incredible world. Using violent or disruptive forces, such as 'gain of function' viruses and top-down attacks on liberty could disrupt things - to the point of cascading domino-style collapses
The elites think they can run the modern world with a much-reduced population and A.I.
They really need to read that essay. Let me find a link...
Fantastic, thanks. The complexity of our world causes it to be extremely fragile. But this time we also have the power to end all life on this planet. I think we'll see limited use of nuclear weapons in the future but I also believe saner minds will prevail when it comes to launching the full arsenal. Whatever the case, a societal collapse would be more devastating than the Late Bronze Age Collapse or the Fall of the Western Roman Empire.
Ouch. Japan is very heavily populated for its size....
My current place goes on the market this weekend. I already learned basic gardening 20 years ago, preparing for this time. I'm now looking for larger places preferably in Amish areas. Have 2 horses as alternate transportation & compost makers. By next year, the new gardens will be productive. Slowly laying in food supplies now, but will do most of that after my coming move. I expect a very busy autumn.
Wow, that's outstanding. I hope you get a quick sale on your current place. Moving to an Amish area is the ultimate in off-grid prepping.
Japan is indeed heavily populated for its size but its demographics are really screwy. Over 90% of the population lives in cities and the countryside is sparsely populated. The depopulation of the countryside has been a real problem over here with whole towns being deserted. I live in the rural south on the outskirts of a big town (maybe 120,000 people). The town is located in a huge valley with large active volcanoes at either end. The soil is incredibly fertile and the amount of farmland could support in the valley could support a few million people. I feel lucky to be in this valley to be honest.
Japan has continued to be determinedly food-sufficient, as I discovered when I lived there for 3 years, 30 years ago. The US has tried to bully them to remove tariffs on imported US rice, but they wouldn't. Japan is one of the few countries that will go against globalist & US policy if they think it works against them - though like every other country these days, they are not as independent as they might hope.
As long as the geological risks don't prevail, you should do well!
Japan's is almost 100% domestic (something like 97% I believe). 50% of veggies are imported though. And the Japanese are going to have to learn to live without soy sauce, tofu and anything else made with soybean. 90% of that comes from Brazil. That's a statistic I found suprising.
Maybe I need to remove my tinfoil hat on occasion, but I think Putin's move into Ukraine might be part of The Great Reset. Putin is WEF, class of 199?; Zelensky, class of 201?. Certainly, his action will create chaos and suffering, and potentially disrupt and destroy existing systems. We will have no choice but to "build back better" after worldwide collapse. And wouldn't ya know, the WEF has a plan for that!
I read an article claiming that Bill Gates' farmland purchases were mostly in Louisiana and Mississippi. Isn't prime soil in the Midwest? Odd...
New Zealand, the land of brutal lockdowns and mass vaccination--both ideal means for priming the population to succumb to a truly deadly coronavirus strain, also, coincidentally has entire neighborhoods of unoccupied mansions awaiting "elites" fleeing the havoc they've created. https://peakoil.com/consumption/paranoia-driving-wealthy-to-buy-homes-in-new-zealand
There are other articles on this subject.
I truly fear some limited use of tactical nuclear weapons--perhaps in the Midwest. Missile silos are located amidst fertile soil which would be instantly rendered useless for generations into the future. Starvation would ensue and, if reports of the vaccine causing permanent damage to immune systems are true, cover will be provided for the die-off caused by mass vaccination. People with damaged immune systems will not fare well in a Mad Max-ian world.
Yeah, real paranoid stuff, I know. But everything that's transpired these last two years has pointed to the worst possible of all outcomes. I put absolutely nothing past the sociopaths behind this scheme.
I definitely don't believe Putin would agree to become the world's number one pariah and risk it all just to further the WEF agenda. True, he was in the WEF and was fully on board with their agenda (as I stated in the article) but that doesn't supersede his nationalistic tendencies. He was happy to go along with it all as long as there was something in it for him. He believes in the ideology and he is no hero rallying against the technocratic agenda. His vision for the future contains everything we find in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, except it also has to contain a strong Russia. Biometric surveillance, central bank digital currencies, the move towards transhumanism and depopulation - he's on board with all of that.
Basically we have a schism in the new world order based upon east vs west lines. They are both fighting to implement the same future. But both camps want to be the dominant force. Whoever wins, humanity loses.
It makes more sense to me, that Putin may or may not have been on board with The Great Reset in the beginning - but NOT with the US calling all the shots!
Putin is an intelligent man (as is Sergei Lavrov) and neither of them present as puppets whose strings are being pulled - unlike the "leaders" in most western countries. (Australia, where I live, has just replaced Scott Morrison with Anthony Albanese - and neither of them has the gumption or intelligence to be anything other than a puppet. Biden is obvious. And though I don't study Boris Johnson very much, I get the feeling he too is just doing the bidding of his masters.)
I am not about to move to Russia as the land of opportunity and freedom - but I get the feeling that national sovereignty and the welfare of Russia is paramount for Putin - I don't think he would be led by the nose by the globalists without a very convincing rationale.
You can lament humanity's miserable state, but man's natural impulse is for peace and cooperation, even when it comes at great cost. 1) Don't let them instill a lower opinion of mankind that they really deserve. 2) The West is not the world, it is a bubble of narcissistic fantasy and arrested development. Media induced myopia prevents us from seeing how sane the other half are, politicians aside.
For sure, wars have cost lives and wrought destruction, but they were never the natural outcome of human interaction, they were the grand chess moves of a parasitical banking class, meant to stampede the herd into the desired direction. War and banking, hand in hand.
We don't really know what is in store for us, or if the Great Resetters will even prevail. Hardship, for sure, but not total destruction. Regardless of what side Putin really falls on, nuclear war, or even convention hot war is unlikely.
Human history is drenched in blood. Humans have killed each other over resources since time immemorable - way before banksters existed. Man's appetite for war and dominion is as strong and as natural as his impulse for peace and cooperation.
We are Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. The Ying and the Yang. Capable of so much beauty and so much destruction.
I agree, total destruction will be avoided, but I doubt our civilization, as it functions today, will survive.
True, there haven't always been bankers (save the money changers in the temple). Before they were bankers, they were merchants.
The Medicis (France, Italy, the southern Phoenicians)
The Komnenes (and Vasas and Jagiellons, England, the northern Phoenicians)
These bloodlines began over 2000 years ago in Egypt, Turkey, Babylonia, and they continue today as bankers, CEOs, presidents. Remember that story about the little girl who did the presidential genealogy and found that every single president in US history were blood relatives? They are *close* blood relatives, and they are related to British landed gentry too, the peerage. Bush and Obama are related to each other, and to the queen. Miles Mathis does the genealogy. http://mileswmathis.com/updates.html
I disagree about basic human nature (though I used to feel as you do). Even animals have been found to exhibit altruism and morality, even when it incurs a personal expense. But, we don't have to agree on everything.
Totally understand your situation. Best thing you can do is formulate some kind of exit strategy. Do you have friends or family that live in the country?
Any disruption is willingly used for the Great Reset, WEF doesn't care what it is, though their control planning is not that great. The collapse isn't 'going' to happen it is happening now. Everyone is being affected, those at the low end are dying. The war in Ukraine is essentially over unless the US wants to start WW3.
There is also a very dark and very plausible explanation to this proxy war. Read the book: The Thirteenth tribe and Khazaria. Then study the Rus history and also look at the map where this ancient Khazaria was. Hint: whoever controls the modern silk road will control Europe and much of Asia. It is all there!!! I am a Czech who as an 11 year old stood in front of a Warsaw Pact tank in 1968. My family became refugees after that, yet this time, I believe that Putin is on the right side of history. Just a hunch.
I haven't read that book but I'm pretty well versed on that particular period and the rise and fall of Khazaria. I don't think we can apply it to current events, or even to the second world war. Ukraine, which made up the bulk of Khazaria, is notoriously anti-semitic. Many sided with the Nazis in WW2 and tens of thousands of Jews were killed, by Ukrainians. And then we have to remember, many of the Bolsheviks were also Jews. So I'm not sure where you're going with this theory. There is no modern silk road, unless you refer to One Belt, One Road. That's important for China but it hardly has any geopolitical strategic value with modern day logistics. But happy to hear more.
I would love to be wrong but I also think the Ukraine war is part of the New World Order agenda. The current war is helping to wreck the Old Order and may morph into WW3. It seems not enough people took the clot shots so TPTB will now use famine, supply chain collapse and WW3 to finish the job.

"...the penchant the human race has for war and destruction and our innate willingness to kill each other"
All major wars in recent history have been thoroughly stage managed affairs. http://mileswmathis.com/updates.html - "Pacific Theater"
You can lament humanity's miserable state, but man's natural impulse is for peace and cooperation, even when it comes at great cost. 1) Don't let them instill a lower opinion of mankind that they really deserve. 2) The West is not the world, it is a bubble of narcissistic fantasy and arrested development.

Well done!
Good to see you too. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you're using this time wisely. :)
I don't know if it's worth buying seeds that don't keep and probably their offspring doesn't germinate.
So, no, not inspired to go all out with digging up the lawn and flower garden.
Potatoes I assume would be okay.
I live in a city and people have in the past dug up my flower plants, so vegetables would not last long if passers by were hungry.
Totally understand your situation. Best thing you can do is formulate some kind of exit strategy. Do you have friends or family that live in the country?
If one's government wants one dead I think it's dire wherever one is.
Hoping for a better election result.
Same! Thanks for the update RM! I need to step it up, but it’s easy to feel pretty fatalistic most of the time. If we die we die.
Eyes open. Just do what it's within your ability to do.
