    I've believed we were on the verge of collapse for some time now. I don't think "civilization" as we know it can continue to subsist for long, given the limitation of resources available, and the "grab all you can before it's gone" mentality. I like to think it won't happen all at once, that we'll have a transition period as things deteriorate to the point of collapse, but I'm sure the priviledged elitists in the know will keep it a secret as long as possible so the rest of us pions don't have the opportunity to revolt till it's too late--meanwhile they'll be tucked away in their gated communities with their armed guards while the rest of us are doomed to roam a depleted wasteland...

    ...'course the survivors will be those of us who are in our element in a primitive environment, those who are able to live off the land and coexist peacefully with our neighbors, while protecting ourselves from the rogues who would rob us, assuming there are still parts of the earth that haven't been reduced to a toxic waste dump of nuclear fallout. In a way it could be a good thing, like a Darwinian cleansing if you will. The over consumptive, self indulgent main stream who are the cause of the problem to begin with will die off, leaving those of us who are lean and mean and healthy enough to fend for ourselves while respecting the environment.

    Another thing to consider is keeping a low profile--no one's gonna come after you if they don't know you exist.

    Meanwhile, I'll just take it one day at a time--no use worrying about something that's out of your control, so you might as well just do the little things you can to make a difference...

    Good thread!

    Great post. Full of thoughtful and realistic ponderings. As you said keeping a low profile is priceless.

    i doubt we have 7 years left before total collapse
    its not a matter of when it collapses, since it already is, its a matter of when the collapse is completed...
    lets just hope it dont tak too much with it on the way down

    Why do you think it's going to happen within seven years?

    I saw this on the news this morning,,,and found this on CNN news when i googled it,,thought this might stimulate the imagination a little,,,its about cyber attacks.

    http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/09/26/power.at.risk/index.html

    some of th highlights in the article~

    Researchers who launched an experimental cyber attack caused a generator to self-destruct, alarming the federal government and electrical industry about what might happen if such an attack were carried out on a larger scale.

    Some experts fear bigger, coordinated attacks could cause widespread damage to electric infrastructure that could take months to fix.

    Economist Scott Borg, who produces security-related data for the federal government, projects that if a third of the country lost power for three months, the economic price tag would be $700 billion.

    "It's equivalent to 40 to 50 large hurricanes striking all at once," Borg said. "It's greater economic damage than any modern economy ever suffered. ... It's greater then the Great Depression. It's greater than the damage we did with strategic bombing on Germany in World War II."

    Peace~Love~Light

    If something like this were to happen I would most likely leave the country as fast as possible and try to find somewhere to live almost in a tribe if you know what I mean. Cause really if you think about it, who will be for the most part undeffected by such a collapse? The dwindling number of communities who still live self sufficiently completely isolated from modernization. Keep in mind that I really don't know what Im talking about, but this is just how it seems to me. I don't think the man who is wandering around india or the tribe living self-sufficinetly in the mountains will have so many problems, while your average american/european will be in some of the worst possible positions.
    Really I think the idea would be to GET AWAY from everything modern. I could actually see people joining together and just trying to survive in the remaining parts of the US (forests and such) that havn't been torn down.

    And once again, don't really know what Im talking about, but couldn't not necessarily be an entirly bad thing (in the long long long run) if it prevented further destruction of the planet? Or perhaps it wouldn't, IDK@!

    The foundation holding the system together already collapsed.

    I’m a targeted individual. There unfortunately are many other people throughout the world who know what I’m talking about first hand.

    We could not all be crazy when the anti psychotics many of us are given fail to make the symptoms of being targeted go away.

    Check out http://stopcorporatecrimes.com/, http://youtube.com/watch?v=iptbB1rZ-6I,
    www.nationalcaresociety.org, http://www.organizedcrimewaves.com, http://www.raven1.net/ http://www.shoestringradio.net/ http://www.stopcovertwar.com/

    Research these key words: covert war, directed energy weapons, non lethal weapons, COINTELPRO, MKULTRA (was “stopped” when survivors brought this to the public’s eye through legal action in 1977), Mind Control, Tuskegee Syphilis Study, Gaslighting, Gang Stalking

    There is a lot of misinformation out there about this subject. Some of the information is true, some of it is made up to purposely mislead. Some of it is incorrect because there is a lot that we TI’s do not know.

    Think for yourselves otherwise others will think for you.

    When the system falls we either somehow survive or die trying.

    Back in 2006 the financial world said if the USDX ever slipped below 75 it would precipitously plummet to around 55. Well...

    http://quotes.ino.com/chart/?s=NYBOT_dx

    Things are about to get really rough... Noone wants to sat it and thereby cause it to happen, but we are on the precipice of abother Great Depression, and this time around there are even fewer people capable of self-sufficiency.

    Get bulk food storage as fast as you can manage. With the falling US dollar food is going to double or triple in price and as our economic system collapses, the food distribution systems are going to collapse as well.

    Do not fear, we are sacred and under the protection of The Divine which lives in all of us.. if there is such a thing as total collaps.. when the change come as it surely will, it will be a mass consciousness level and it will affect every living thing at once.. otherwise it would not work. Stay strong in your beliefs that in Unity and Brotherhood we can and will survive.. this one is for us.. the children of Light, we knocked and rocked heavens door and it is now opening up to recive us.

    Blessed Be

    I still have the armor plates I bought in 1999 for Y2k. If the modern civilization collapses, I will go ahead and weld them on my RV. The gas mileage will suck, but you can't have everything. This is also my plan for the zombie apocalypse.

    tumble down bablylon tumble down

    we all know its gotta come

    but this thread sats more then ya know
    we got the choice to make
    let it crumble
    live to help eachother or live to fight
    there will be fightin and dyin if thats your focus, the more we look to guns as answers though the more death we see


    the answers not in the bullet but the seeed

    when the shit hits the fan its time to plant alot to share with the comunity create unity and unite..not shoot at everyone who happens by tired and hungry but lend a hand..

    when it begins to crumble its commin down all over
    and we really gotta lear to get togeher help eachother and think outside ourselves

    we need to put down our guns forever or things are really gonna get bad

    and wouldnt it be nice if we could get rid of every single deadly weapon b4 psychos start runnin round with nukes/
