In most of the world you’ve
noticed a very marked trend. Farming is
mechanized in the countryside and the population moves to the cities for
jobs. Land prices are kept high or
private ownership prohibited or slums allowed, all to push this trend. In Australia, a huge continent, you can’t
even buy junk land. In Switzerland, even
fifty years ago the peasants were priced out of the market. In the US, rural land is affordable but lack
of public transportation ( a deliberate policy ) means automobile ownership
added to the price of the land make most rural living arrangements unrealistic
( jobs, the few left, are kept in the
cities. There are exceptions but they
are not the broad trend ).
*
There is a delightful
phrase, managing the decline. In some
aspects, this is obviously done poorly.
The best way to do this would be to give land to the poor and convert to
rail, and go back to a decentralized organic French Intensive method of food
and livestock production. You could keep
our current oil dependent infrastructure to feed everyone during the
transition. But the poor aren’t going to
do this, as everyone is stuck on the couch in front of the TV with the only
occupations being managing the consumption of oil. The poor won’t encage in manual labor while
the “rich” ( to their eyes ) sit in cubicle comfort. The cubicle warriors won’t give up their perceived
safety gilded cages in the suburbs, the place the farms need to go.
*
Nobody wants this
arrangement, and the powers that be certainly have no desire to push for
it. We have a long way to go downwards
in energy consumption prior to food security being endangered. Those managing the decline most likely have
little desire to see actual sustainability.
Where is the social engineering and control in that? They have all the time in the world to push
centralization as opposed to decentralization.
*
All these idiots that push
for total AI and job automation and The Singularity? Buffoons without a clue. All that takes EXTRA energy. Sure, if the Internet had stopped at e-mails,
the energy needed to deliver correspondence would have declined. But Facebook and cute kitten videos suck up a
lot of resources. Does Amazon take more
or less energy than a mail order catalog?
People need to be fed one way or another, so why not have them working
while already fed and they consume less than robots and computer server
farms. The “energy savings” of
automation were suspect from the beginning.
A “green” action by a company is always about saving money, not Mother
Earth.
*
The future is LESS energy,
not more. Centralizing bodies in urban
areas allow the current industrialized oil age users to consume less
resources. They would use almost none on
those farms, but that isn’t going to happen.
At least not on time. The only
thing being done now is to warehouse the population into urban areas. Less energy.
Far more control. I would go so
far as to call the cities the new FEMA camps.
We don’t need to wait for black helicopters and old military bases to be
converted. The camps are already in
place and built.
*
Remember, during energy
contraction you use the infrastructure you already have, no matter how ill
suited. This is just reality. Fewer resources mean no new
infrastructure. We aren’t going to
replace the auto fleet with all electric cars.
Nor are we going to rebuild all of New Orleans or Houston or Detroit. We aren’t going to build concentration camps
for any serious number of people ( a very small number, perhaps. Possible if not probable. Today, dissidents are just kangaroo court
sentenced to serve jail time with real criminals like murderers ).
*
FEMA death camps are a
fantasy, just like the Blue Hemet UN One World Government threat. Here is why.
You don’t give almost two hundred million pissed off gun owners ( I
assume a higher number than current iffy statistics because of gun loans to
fellow revolutionaries who are unarmed ) a target. Why would you give the pitchfork and torches
mob a sign saying “evil king this way”?
You create false targets ( the UN and FEMA concentration camps ), while
hiding the real threat ( the bankers ).
You give them fake worries ( gun control ) to hide the real weapon (
food control ).
*
Right there alone is a
good enough reason to mismanage the decline.
Food control is people control.
Decentralized farms only make sense to everyone NOT in control. Those pulling the levers behind the curtain
love the idea of centralized farms and long distance freight. Total and complete control. Gun control could be achieved tomorrow, with
ammunition sales being stopped. Just
stopped. The companies are nationalized
and used only for the military. Guns are
still legal and kept in your hands. You
just don’t get any ammo ( ammo imports are also banned ). It is that simple. Sure, the Constitution says you can be
armed. It doesn’t protect your ability
to buy ammunition, does it?
*
And how hard would it be
to enact food control? The “answer” to
the health care costs and medical availability would be a Michelle Obammy
vegetarian whole grain diet. All
citizens must be issued food cards so your diet is monitored. We can’t allow unpopular foods to be
consumed, such as bacon or butter. The
food is free, of course. No child left
behind. And in with those added vitamins
are vaccines because as a world citizen it is your duty to not spread barnyard
flu.
*
Okay, perhaps it is over
the top. But there are plenty of other
ways. You can go the opposite direction
and give out free unhealthy foods, like the white flour and shortening oil the
AmerIndians get. Let diabetes and
malnutrition weaken them to the point of non resistance. Really, we are already living under food
control, and it isn’t obvious. The few
government monopoly allowed corporations growing, processing and transporting
our foods will go along with government dictate without any squabble, to keep
their positions. The infrastructure is
in place already, implementation only a matter of time.
*
The answer of growing your
own food isn’t much of an answer, as we’ll see tomorrow, but a partial answer
is to escape the camp where it is easier to control you and enforce their will.

I agree with your food argument as people will kill you with their bare hands to keep from starving. And the bankers, which, I believe will be the catalyst for the lack of food.
ReplyDeleteBut this is just wrong, for a couple of reasons:
"Sure, the Constitution says you can be armed. It doesn’t protect your ability to buy ammunition, does it?"
First, yes ammo is covered in the 2nd, what else can ammo be used for other than for guns. And, what is a gun without ammo? Picking the pepper out of the fly shit never works.
The 2nd doesn't protect anything and it doesn't say anyone can be armed. Everybody always gets this part wrong. They seem to believe the right to self defense didn't exist prior to the 2nd.
A "right" is inherent, it is not given to you.
A "privilege" is given to you, like a drivers license, and it can be taken away with no reason offered and because it wasn't yours in the first place you have nothing to say about it.
If anyone tries to take away your inherent right you have the right and responsibility to protect that right any way you see fit. This is not an argument about the right makes might nonsense.
The 2nd amendment does not bestow a right but it does tell the gov't that it cannot violate that pre-existing right.
Where the 2nd says, "...the right to bear arms shall not be...", what right is it speaking of? The PRE-EXISTING right that has existed since man existed.
From the very beginning, when man picked up a club to defend himself he has had the right to do so, for what is life without the ability to protect it? No one is forced to bow to the whims of another because he has the natural and inherent right, and responsibility, to protect himself in anyway he chooses.
MY natural right to possess what I shall is not dependent upon the approval of any other.
Like the plate I saw on a big ol' dangerous looking 4x4 truck the other day, "Cause I wanted it"
Yes but. The rights are only as good as the government that you are born into or is provided to you by the citizenry at large on your behalf (majority rule-democracy/no matter if called a republic) those rights can and have been subject to interpretation or deleted at will. The government and its authority is the biggest and best funded gang, again with the blessing of the populous to do what is necessary for their comforts.
DeleteWhoa there, Libertarian Luke! :) I was being tongue in cheek. I understand that the Bill Of Rights is an observation rather than a grant. Our government, on the other hand, is a bit confused. I was speaking as if I was justifying another intrusion and Lawyer Speaking. Obviously they won't be that clever. Sorry, I thought I was being obvious in my sarcasm. Written language is the prevue of the accountant and tax man. We can communicate just dandy verbally. Things like sarcasm are obvious. In writing, not so much.
Deletepurview. Sorry, I think I got spell checked. Not "prevue"
Delete9:02-GS is describing the philosophy. You are going with the reality. Natural rights V states rights. Once the Libertarians get a taste of blood, hopefully the lectures will stop and the purge will begin. That is the only thing statists understand. Not that Libertarianism is practical, ever. But I'd at least like to see a Constitution that gives individuals the right to kill any politician who infringes on a right. That should keep most aspiring politicians working an honest day job. I could be happy with that level of government. Jury annulment didn't work-bullet annulment might. And we can even make it sporting-a politician is obliged to partake in a duel to contest his law, or step down immediately and the law is forfeit.
Delete@9:02, rights have nothing to do with gov't.
DeleteDon't mistake rights with privileges.
Jim, YES! Politicians that attempt to violate rights should be heavily penalized. I wrote on this over at Amer Digest just this morning.
The entire constitution is lacking in any sort of recompense for infringements of the people. All that long drawn out silliness about impeachment has nothing to do with "us". With NO penalty's is it any wonder it is ignored? "It's just a goddamned piece of paper!"
Did you see the recent advertisements by the State of Vermont? Apparently they're struggling with an aging and declining population base. They'll pay you $10,000 to move to Vermont IF you work from home for an out-of-state employer. See what they did there? They get some young blood into the state to stabilize the demographics, you pay Vermont income taxes, the local and state economy is boosted, no local jobs are taken by a newcomer, and there's no strain on the transportation infrastructure from an extra commuter.
ReplyDeletePeace out
I hadn't heard of this, but it does seem smart. Didn't one of the Dakota's give away home lots to attract people?
DeleteIowa did for sure. Apparently Kansas and North Dakota did also, but the catch is usually you are required to build a 1600 sq ft conventional house to add to the tax base. No BPOD's or travel trailers there.
DeleteAnti-BPOD is anti-poor. Screw them. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest their anal cavity.
DeleteBPODS rock.
DeleteSwitzerland did that too. All kinds of restrictions.
DeleteIf a state is losing people there's a reason for it.
Isn't Vermont Bernie Sander's state?
Don't blame a state for a politician. If we did that, Nevada would suck :)
DeleteVT's problem is that it's right next to New Hampshire. A short move across the river and it's a different reality.
DeleteFEMA FOR ME TOO! Most of the urbanized/surbanized masses would happily go for a little cubicle quarters with cable t.v./video games and a orwellian 1984 chow hall to go feed at. They can report to the mostly now menial jobs and putz it up in exchange for rations and quartering. The 9% will supervise a small technical class who get slightly better rewards. They will all be identified by uniformed jump suits and r.f.i.d.tagging. Absolutely the way to go as contraction picks up steam. Or as a reordering of remaining society post collapse. It will even occur in Timbuktoo and bumpkinville.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the Easy Credit generations are now programmed top accept the hive hell of uber urban areas, as an escape from the debtors prison they are in. Profit both directions for the banksters.
DeleteFollowing series. It would seem most folks (minions excluded from the paradigm) are already digitaly fenced in and socially shock collared. Not much more necessary for collective coralling of the herd, culling the limping and slow pokes. Grumbling empty stomachs for a while and then everyone will be singing in tune from same hymn book. Pellets and porridge in the feed trough.
ReplyDeleteI don't know. Doesn't it seem too short of a time to be trapped in the digital universe? Aren't memories too fresh of a time before InterWebs? Or am I just showing my age?
DeleteYou want to see how "city as prison" works out, look at the Gaza Strip. Everything in or out is controlled and you can't escape.
ReplyDeleteHmm-good example!
Delete“The only good thing is occasionally we see karma, or divine intervention, and politicians are stricken with horrid maladies. Bat crap crazy Hilary, brain cancer ( McCain? ), etc.”
ReplyDeleteI came across an article more recently in which a DA successfully prosecuted a very unpopular case (sorry, the details escape me, and I couldn’t find it again). Long story short, someone assassinated the dude in his own home (he was sniped from the exterior of the home) and whoever did it, got away with it clean.
Gonna go out on a limb and guess that his replacement will be very careful about taking on such similar cases in the future...
I'm guessing since all DA's are Type A arsehats he thinks he is invincible. Still, a heart warming tale. Let's hope it is the start of a positive trend.
DeleteIf the story 4:47 relaying is the one I'm thinking about the guy was vocal anti 2A. The guy plugged him with a handgun which only a couple thousand were imported into the US. The guy had enough time to collect his brass & walk to his car & drive away.
DeleteAn even heartier tale if true.
DeleteA democratic free western nation (not US) has laws where the authorities can arrest a suspected "terrorist" and hold them without facing court for 30 days. Nobody, not even the arrested persons partner is allowed to say where the person is or what happened to them otherwise they go to jail as well
ReplyDeleteSo, in this case, if you know something, say nothing.
