It would be nice to think that we could all power down and move into a sustainable pattern of living in a calm and orderly fashion but current evidence indicates that it simply won't happen I'm afraid.

If channelled correctly, and assuming it's not already too late, anger could really force the large scale change at the speed that is needed without destroying everything.

Something that is powerful enough to topple regimes is something that even the likes of Bush would have to bow down to. You just need to look at French, Russian and Chinese history to see what it is capable of.

When TS REALLY HTF the anger will be massive. However, it will not be used constructively, but instead will be channelled by TPTB into furtherance of their warped agenda, just like it always has been. Think Nazi Germany, with its panoply of scapegoats. Are you a dissenter, someone who will have food while others go hungry, Islamic, a member of some fringe group? Haliburton has a bunk for you in one of their gleaming, spacious new concentration camps. So long as TPTB control the mass media, any anger or hatred will be firmly under their control. Look at Rush Limbaugh. He has made a career out of deflecting people's justifiable anger away from its rightful targets and onto "liberals," "feminazis," "eco-terrorists" and "militant vegetarians."

Don’t be angry Ludi, be strong. No matter what anyone else says.

Anger is like fear, a mind killer. Keep your wits about you.

Ok, here is what you do.

1. Put 6 months of expenses outside of the banking system.
2. Put as much non perishable food aside as affordable
3. If you have firearms, purchase some ammunition
4. Fill your cars up with petrol
5. Update your disaster preparations
6. Get some munchies sit on your couch
7. Watch the horror unfold on TV until it goes offline
8. Pick up the pieces.[/quote]

I went out and put up some fencing.

It helped a little.

It would be better if people got angry now, while there may still be a little time to channel those emotions to head off the worst disasters, than later on, in food riots.

All of us here are mentally prepared and have done a lot of preps, practically speaking. We are profoundly lucky, in that regard. People will not immediately start rioting in the streets. Many neighbourhood vigilante protection groups will immediately form , at the onset of crisis. Strangely, you may find your neighbourhood becomes more rather than less safe.

You know, so many people regard this kind of disruption in purely negative terms. Other people's raison d'etre is to create meaning in their lives through horrible circumstances. I think the doomers will be surprised at all the heroism this calls forth. Every little boy will have a chance to be superman. Every man will have a realistic shot at being the knight in shining armour. Don't despair. It's bitter tasting medicine, but we'll probably, and most strangely, be better off.

[Heineken]

Throw out the Bilderbergs and replace them with greenies. Burn cars and car notes and car factories. Bring back the railroads. Sterilize half the women and half the men. Tear up the malls and fried-food shacks and replace them with permaculture plots and forests.

Just a few starters, Ludi.

Thanks Heineken!

See, NEOPO, that wasn't so hard to talk about.
