IMITATING ART

note: around Oct. 3rd ( don't quote me ) on Netflix streaming is the movie "The Survivalist".  Here is a YouTube preview click here

Another case of life imitating art.  Or at least rhyming ( Mark Twain? ).  Eight senior citizens die from being off grid in a Florida nursing home.  The Sheriff immediately launched an investigation to make sure there was no foul play ( one assumes the rest of the county is safe at night without power and that other seniors elsewhere are in no danger, so as to allow this political ass covering maneuver with the needed extra manpower ).  Dude!  This is Florida.  Home of auto insurance three times most other places as granny tries in vain to peer over the dashboard, stubbornly clinging to her new women’s lib right to drive a vehicle, started back when she was already seventy years old.  Florida is the geriatric elephant graveyard.  People go there to die.  Did they just hire him from Chicago because he was Black ( sure, the Sheriff in principle might be elected.  On electronic voting machines.  With no accountability )?  Sure, the oldsters MIGHT have been smothered so there were more seats on the bus, or it was past lunch time for the orderlies, but don’t prisoners die in your care in the jail?  If not immediately, years later from AIDS.

Anyway, does that sound slightly familiar?  I mean, besides being a New Orleans repeat?  “One Second After”, one of more popular post-apocalypse novels out there ( do NOT under any circumstances read the sequels.  Not even if it is a library book.  Tragically racing to give James Patterson a run for his money ), had the nursing home deaths from lack of power.  Duh, right?  Living in Florida without refrigeration and air conditioning is certainly not impossible.  Just look at southeast Asia for swamp living primitive style.  But that is akin to moving up to Alaska to live in the Bush.  It takes talent and education.  Marshmallow soft Yuppie Scum middle class retired pukes?  They have no business living in the tropics if they rely on the spacecraft life support system of petroleum to keep them alive down there.  That is what I can’t understand about creaky old humpers flocking to Florida or Arizona.  You hate the winters up north?  How often did you live in the northern climate, except back when you were driving a mule to the one room schoolhouse barefoot and milking the cow?  You were inside all the time since.  Why move?

*

Answer: you can’t play golf in December, up north.  That is the only feasible answer I’m coming up with.  So, now, how is that “paradise” working out for you now that the power is down?  With flooding and no power, sewage tends to mix with that pool in your living room.  Your sputtering ticker is going to seize up without air conditioning.  Your medications, just in time delivery married to Drug War idiocy like not allowing 60 or 90 or even thirty day prescription fills spawns the demon baby of geriatric triage deaths.  Sounds like the Obama Death Panels all over again.  Of COURSE the FedGov wants to kill you off, you are suckling at Social Security and using funds that should be going to propping up overseas colony garrisons, starting new wars and enriching Hilary’s favored donors.  This stuff ain’t rocket science.  Now, yes, media pukes are the biggest queens outside a New York City gay nightclub, it is true.  They drama’ed it all up with Sandy.  Dear Baby Jesus!  Two Foot Surge-TWO FOOT SURGE!!!!  Okay, granted, it was cold water, but come on!  So, we can expect them to drama up the hurricane arrival with hyperbole and plain grade bullspit.  But we still have to ask ourselves, was this the litmus test for killing off the biggest welfare class?

*

Yes, I know, I’m being dramatic myself.  No one is safe from the elite and the elderly won’t get a pass or even really be targeted.  Everyone is equally in danger.  Not hard to forecast that, with all jobs overseas and most folks dependent on the FedGov and the MegaCorp’s to eat and stay out of the weather.  The overcrowded cities where no one can evacuate from and the under funded maintenance of the power grid was the profit model for the elites taking back the last few generations of shared wealth ( you think the Leave It To Beaver Union wages dad generation was going to be allowed to keep their sliver of the pie?  Jane, you ignorant slut!  How did their saving account in real estate work out for them? ).  Growth was good for our masters and now, planned or not, they are abandoning their mess once it went from profitable to needing an upgrade investment.  Just like a CEO works his peons to mental and physical exhaustion, after hiring from a town completely dependent just on himself, makes a fortune off real estate speculation as the only factory in a hundred miles jacks up housing costs, so too goes the economy.  The peons think they are sharing in imperial wealth, until the factory/colonies shut down.

Did you follow where Venezuela just dropped the PetroDollar?  Sure, I can hear you now, yucky, Jim is talking about Peak Oil again.  Gross!  I’m going over to Rawles site and read about Idaho politics and investing in gold!  Fine, dudes, whatever.  You realize that once enough countries divorce from the PetroDollar that we can’t buy overseas oil or service our debt, right?  That is the sound of our colonies being granted de facto independence.  You know why China isn’t buying our debt anymore?  They have Russia, with all its oil-more oil than Saudi Arabia-and buying our debt was just to buy oil.  Why do you think the propaganda machine is dialed past 10, in the red zone, blathering about Russia?  It isn’t because of Trump ( Trump has Wall street suits and military brass in his administration.  It is quite the Business As Usual there ).  It is because Russia and China don’t need us anymore, and we are getting desperate.

Once the dollar, and hence our borrowing without inflation, is dethroned, all the nasty little problems we’ve been warned about suddenly get pushed to the front burner.  And one of those is going to be the inability to fund Seniors.  They will of course get their money, but inflation will be so bad, and those numbers fudged, that Cost Of Living Allowances will be a sick morbid joke.  A heck of a lot more than eight oldsters are going to die then.  Then, the system simply crashes.  We are already at the point that our dysfunctional medical system is flying apart.  Seniors are being killed, but slowly ( not too fast!  Money to be made ).  Nursing homes will get so expensive, and their staff of illegals and incompetents so dangerous, the body count is going to really skyrocket.  Right now, WITH the petrodollar still limping along, we had to slash the interest rate to fund our borrowing.  It is at 2%.  Okay, go down to 1% and we can borrow another 20 trillion.  But unfortunately, it won’t take ten years to double.  Without fuzzy foreigners buying our debt we must do it all ourselves.  We will double our debt rather quickly.  Then, what?  A half percent, then a quarter?  How much longer do we really have before it doesn’t work?

*

Simple crap, like minor fires and minor flooding, once easily cleaned up and funded and compensated, are left as is.  If you think the insurance industry is going to be forced to pay for your house, you haven’t been paying attention to who pushed ObamaCare through.  Now, and not tomorrow or the next day, Alibi Abe, is the time to work on adapting to your environment of choice without the grid, and being able to limp along without the financial class sharing anything with you.  You can’t seriously still be in denial, can you ( they had better sell us OUR oil.  The banks better give me MY money.  Trump better give me my EARNED Social Security )?  All these problems that the shrill drama queens have been filling their doomer porn sites with?  You know, the Gore Warming flooding and super hurricanes and the West being ablaze with thousands of fires and the depleted reservoirs.  How do you think we’ve been solving those, even if half assed and poorly, all these issues that would have slapped the dingus of any Third World nation into the dirt?  Don’t you say it!  Don’t you dare!  Don’t mention Peak Oil!  No, bitches, I’m talking about the PetroDollar, the Free Oil Currency we have been coasting on.  Still plenty of oil left, but not for us without the petro-bucks. 

*

Do you think I just talk here to listen to the musical wind chine sweet sound of my own voice?  All these indicators we safely ignored ( Gore Warming is fake!  Fracking Oil Forever.  Dollar is the worlds reserve currency ) WILL come home to roost. It is all interconnected.  Irma wasn’t JUST another hurricane we will easily recover from ( although we will ), it was also a warning.  Are you listening?  Remember that “two years early rather than two minutes too late”.  I’ve been panicking early all my prepping career, and it still is paying off.  I might panic about the wrong thing, but the preps for that worked elsewhere.  Civilization collapse might be too hard to prep for but you’d better be squared away for economic collapse because it is already here.  On this waterfall collapse, the current is already too strong to turn back.  Plan for no grid, period, not no grid for two weeks.
