Societies used to be centered around agriculture, rivers, and lakes. I think we will see a return to this. As demand for everything that is not of subsistence value loses it's demand.
A crash will cause everyone to be poor as heck. Naturally all money will go towards food, water, and shelter. If you have extra money then it will go towards either more food or possibly electricity. Will things get this bad? Does living in America somehow make our shit smell like flowers and the rainbow shine out of our ass? Is our labor inherently worth more? Our country is as good as it is, because our currency holds a high value.
All in all, we will have to start making stuff again in the U.S. if we are to reduce unemployment rates. We will then be looked upon for cheap labor like China. New factories will have to be built. America will no longer be a land of prosperity.
The Elite must have a plan with what to do with everyone. What do people do when they have nothing to do because there are no jobs?
If there are going to be new migrations, getting in the construction, plumbing, or electrcian industry might not be such a bad idea.
]]>Spirituality is about awareness right? Asking questions is great for enhancing your awareness about the future and what may or may not come.
Important questions:
Will the vibration of the planet truly reach unprecedented heights allowing us to vibrate to another plane of existence and completely ditch this time line?
What will life be like as the dollar becomes worth less and less incrementally? This could probably be divided into stages.
Which jobs will be the first to go?
What industries will go?
What industries will remain?
Will gas become unaffordable?
Will there be enough gas to transport food and other commodities long distances?
How will grocery stores accept payment for their food when the dollar becomes worthless?
Will we still get utilities like water, electricity, and gas?
Will internet still be around?
What will happen to everyone's properties if they can no longer make payments?
Given that poverty increases crime, will we have martial law in America?
What will our government being doing to remedy the economics of America?
Is it possible the transition to the NAU will be quick and efficient?
Will the leaders in the U.S. military maintain control over their bases and troops or will there be much instability?
Adolf Hitler came to power after Germany experienced a depression. Will we see a dictator rise to power?
Being that everyone is naive and ignorant will they be persuaded to invade Iran and other countries to defeat terror?
Will there be a scapegoat for the economic collapse? I doubt a truthful explanation will be given.
What explanation will the media and our political leaders offer for the collapse?
What will be on the Elite's agenda after the collapse?
How will the other major powers of the world respond to the collapse of the U.S.?
Does the Elite have control over Russia, China, and the other powerful countries of the world?
Is the Elite in cahoots with the elite of China, Japan, France, India, Pakistan, and Turkey?
Will there be lots of instability all over the world or will everything go according to plan for the Elite?
Will the human race become to unruly and bring down the control that the Elite possesses?
If this does occur will the powers of nuclear weapons come into good hands or bad ones?
Will aliens have any say in these matters?
What affect with the alien presence have on future matters of the world?
Will the aliens prevent us from destroying the planet with nuclear bombs out of a vested interest in preserving the biological diversity of the planet?

Wow, that is absolute insanity. Where are you again? In the Northwest?
I hope they never make it illegal to grow vegetables and herbs in my backyard as well.
They probably will oneday, so you'll be forced to eat that nasty pestified, GM stuff that'll do god knows what to your body. Haha... a black market for untouched watermelon seeds! Police raid family illegally growing cauliflower!
And it's ridiculous that it's illegal to collect rain water... what a waste. Okay, sure the plants and wild animals drink it but shouldn't we be allowed to too? Stupid, stupid.
Titmouse, I like your idea to put aside a small subsidy for your children's education. Too much takes away their independence... there's something right about that idea but I can't put my finger on it.
]]>We KNOW that the Elite wants a world population of about 500 million.
We KNOW the dollar decreased 11% in relation to the Euro over this past year.
We KNOW that the housing market is on it's way down, (down markets take twice as much time than up markets.) It takes twice as long because houses are hard to liquefy. We know that there have been a million foreclosures so far and that number is on the rise. We know that the credit industry is really messed up. We know lots of banks are suffering major losses as so many people have defaulted and continue to default on their loans. We know that in March of 2006 the Federal Reserve stopped releasing statistics about the total money supply. They had been releasing these statistics since before 1959. We know they are hiding the fact that they are printing more and more money. We know the value of the dollar is rapidly decreasing. We know nothing can save it, because in order to save it we would have to get rid of the income tax, have a federal sales tax of 30%, reduce spending tremendously (may have to get rid of medicare and social security,) withdraw from the war, and stop devaluing our currency by borrowing tons of money and printing off tons of money. Only Ron Paul could do something like that. I don't see that happening even if he was elected. He could easily be assassinated. Who knows... maybe he could be assassinated and replaced by a clone. It's very possible our secret black op government can do that. As soon as cloning was discovered I'm sure they started to try and clone humans right off the bat.
We KNOW the gap between the rich and poor is growing increasingly wider. The middle class is being wiped out.
We KNOW beyond a doubt that the dollar is going to collapse. Whether this is a fast crash or slow crash is another question. I think the Elite don't want a fast crash. They want to avoid as much civil unrest as possible. They don't want people rebelling. They want people being compliant. Thus the crash will probably be in steps. Every month and year will get progressively worse.
In other words. We KNOW or SHOULD KNOW that a crash is going to happen. It is inevitable. So we must ask ourselves how will life be after the crash? Maybe that should be a topic all on it's own... By the way, these are good things to think about, "B-b-b-b-but but they are negative things to think about and you will attract them into your reality!"
The people that survive, survive because they are more knowledgeable, they are smarter, they think fast, they make good decisions, and they know the value of community. They strive for knowledge that will help their situation. Most importantly, they maintain their composure. That is one thing I am very good at. I am always calm. It could be hell on earth and you could come up and ask me, "Hey, what's up Matt?" and I'd be like, "Uh... Not much.. you?" I am this way because of all the hours of meditation I have done. I have learned how to detach from the circumstances around me, analyze them from a bird's eye view, and then make the best decision as objective as possible.
I think it would be both fun and a good idea to analyze what life will be like after the crash. What major industries will survive? Will there still be fast food restaurants? How will I get the things I need? What jobs will be available? What role will the military and government have in our lives?
If this isn't spiritual (Love, Faith, KNOWLEDGE) then I don't know what is. Knowing what is to come and being mentally prepared for it is what being spiritual is about. Knowing exactly what to do in any situation in the future will help. If you have to migrate you need to know where to migrate too. You need to know your geography. You need to know the locations of military bases (what if there is a nuclear war, wouldn't you want to be far out of the way of foreign military targets?) You need to know good routes to travel on. You need to know the lay of the land basically.
A reality is going to hit us. Peace won't come until we know death intimately. Only when the fear between us all dissipates, will we learn to love one another unconditionally on a massive scale.
]]>The only preparation you can make for this kind of thing, is within yourself. The more spiritually prepared you are, the more aware you'll be capable of being during moment-to-moment situations, and that's the only kind of preparation that's really going to matter. On the physical level, things are changing so fast now (and this change is accelerating) that long-term plans are becoming increasingly useless. We are being taught, at a very deep level, how to remain present. Initially it was just a "good direction to move in", but as we approach this "event" it's switching over to being the only way to really navigate the world around us.
...
Get spiritually prepared now (while your hierarchy of needs is met so you can do so), get your awareness in check, and above all, extricate yourself from all that worry. The most effective sword is the one you never have to pick up.
And if you still feel the need to prepare, use that energy and put it towards meeting and becoming friendly with your neighbors.
Kinsei, can you please define what it means to you to be spiritually prepared?
I believe in the law of attract no doubt. I also think we get help from angels. We have things that protect us when we are in tune with reality. If I am constantly worrying about an economic collapse causing mass starvation, mass unemployment, and increased crime, then I believe I am more likely to be aligned with experiencing those realities. If I indeed have fear for that, then that is what will happen. I believe our thoughts and intentions have a say so in our futures.
I agree, preparation towards being spiritually prepared is good. I need to be generous yet wisely so, I need to be a good decision maker, and I need to be calm. Okay... I got those covered. I consider myself very aware. I can see through people. I know when someone is trying to fool me. I know how to live moment to moment. I know how to abandon everything if I have too. I know when to cut my losses. I have a good heart. I don't worry much. I am willing to accept a doom scenario. I know being loving and helpful will be a must for survival. Anyways, death I'm sure isn't so bad, (depending on how you die.) Anyways, this isn't something I fear or worry about. It's a simple matter of choosing to put oneself in the best position possible.
Our world operates under certain rules and laws. If we know what is to happen in the future we can place ourselves in the best possible position. No amount of meditation and self reflection will get you food when you need it.
If you are on a boat in the ocean and you know a massive storm is going to come would you not analyze this situation? Wouldn't you say... "A storm is heading towards me thus it would be a good idea for me to avoid this storm. I better sail to calmer waters."

I'd hire DanB to build a fine and worhty deck(composite green materials of course)--and one for my crippled neighbor, too. I would not leave much to my children except a small subsidy for education. Any greater subsidy would rob them of the gift of independence.
