PREPPER ROCK STARS 2

Now, as I've said many times, I don't HATE Rawles. I do not agree with 99% of his teachings, but those are not his fault. He was an officer in the military, and with only a few exceptions they only take a certain kind of person into their gentle embrace and reinforce their natural tendencies of supporting and strengthening the existing order. If I was being unkind, I would shotcut label that as a “puppet”. But there is no reason to be unkind, because it is the analyticals such as myself who are the freaks of evolution.

Most people join the Hive Mind, the Monkey Mind and it is the unquestioning following that strengthens the group. And in the military, thinking for yourself can really undermine group solidarity. And no, I do NOT think there is much Intelligence in MI. Not to insult individuals, but rather the institution. MI is just as “one size fits all” as any other group in the military. Your homework assignment tonight is to go watch “Spies Like Us”. Dan's character, stuffed down in the basement because he ACTUALLY gathered intelligence? Yeah, like that.

*

Most people ARE Monkey Minds. They subvert Lizard Brain to get the advantages of group security, and few break out from there into Human Mind, which is a step above Monkey Mind but dangerous exactly because it is. Rawles is just a monkey, regurgitating all the old guru's. I don't mean that as an insult. He is just normal. He was taught Hive Mind, and in turn teaches Hive Mind. And this isn't meant to discount his achievements. He did actually improve on the old teachings. The only problem is they are built on faulty frames.

*

Which I think are comprised of a lot of Peacock Feather posturing. Rawles was great, for introducing a Rich Bitch prepping strategy that everyone could undertake. He did not suppose everyone was rich to begin with. This is commendable. I certainly do not wish to detract from his discipline and insight. The problem is that as time goes on that strategy is harder and harder to achieve. And it is erroneously based on being able to time the collapse. I think that has been his undoing, because every year it becomes more and more obvious that the collapse will probably occur before folks can prepare his way.

*

I mean, DAMN!, if you don't put a little lipstick on that fracking pig, if you don't buy the official story of a Century Of Energy Independence, things get pretty obviously humped real quick, and his optimistic call of Peak Oil 2030 simply cannot hold up. Also, his Blue Helmet Invasion looks highly unlikely as EU troops can't even defeat Muzzy Invaders. But I don't mean to belabor any failed predictions. If you want failed predictions, go to ANY month on this blog. No, I am merely unhappy with underlying premises.

*

Rich Bitch Prepping, going back to Mel Tappon, is the basic issue, not which unfortunate bastard took that lesson to heart, erroneously. And I don't even blame Mel. He was a product of his times. I think as soon as the 'Murican Dream died, an excusable reaction would be the grasping at wealth, overcompensating for the fact our asses just went broke. Americans have always been far too focused on wealth, which goes back to Puritanism, which we can blame on the greedy and corrupt Papists.

*

Any culture with one of its central tenets being that God only loves you if you have money is going to be a bit dysfunctional. But the difference between then and now is that before, there was wealth to be had. Now, all wealth is either a zero sum game or simply delusional. Before, wealth was attainable even if it produced fundamentally flawed human beings. Now, the greed is the same ( or, if not greed, at least desperation to get into heaven ) but there is really no more water to be had at that well. Then, God loved you. Now, God hates you for being a pauper. Go to Hell, go directly there as you have not pleased Him.

*

I'm not poking fun at religion or a Supreme Being. I'm saying most Europeans got a pretty crappy deal the last millennium, first forced to deny their pagan gods at the militant hands of Christianity, then offered the alternative of themselves rather than the church being greedy, and all the time dying by the holier than thou sword from both sides. A LOT of our cultural baggage flows through that history. Our country was not founded on freedom, but rather colonial wealth extraction.

*

For four hundred years, give or take, we were ONLY focused on wealth, motivated by a religion focused on wealth, and when that finally ended in the 1970's ( and, HELLLLOOOOOO!!!!!, have you noticed that fundamentally stalling, that end of wealth? ), our narrowly focused pea brains could not process that shift and we have been in Super Denial ever since then. Part of that denial is worshiping High Techism, some is a denial the Oil Age will ever end. A bit is deciding ours will be the only empire in history to ever survive, and etcetera.

*

So strong is our denial that even when we accept the inevitability of a collapse, we infuse the old wealth paradigm into that. We can only survive if we have money. Our Puritan God will only save those with money. Without money, survival chicks won't dig you. Newsflash, hot shot. Money means dingus all. Balls and ability trump money any day of the week. Obviously, they don't produce supplies out of thin air ( ability does not manufacture anything without resources ). But they secure a LOT more than just money, all things being equal. I know you agree, or you wouldn't be here. But it still helps if you identify the source of any dissenting voice.

*

Wealth is useful, one cannot deny. It can also be rather distracting. And sometimes it just screws things up, like when you want to get ready for the end of ALL wealth ( yeah, sorry, dudes. The current order will sputter along until all wealth is gone, used up or destroyed. Like the oil left. It is thousands of feet down. You can't pump it out manually. It might as well be on the floor of the ocean ). Trying to stock a lifeboat to get you to Point B, fine. Trying to keep up the lifestyle afterwards? Good luck with that one. Sometimes the grass on the other side has been grazed off also.

note: on the Repo Crisis noted previously ( Federal Reserve propping up bank liquidity ), the talking idiots went from a week, to a month "temporary event" to now, through January.  You can call it QE27, but that ignores the severity.  Banks are clearly insolvent, and clearly a '08 Redux bailout is in swing.  If I were you I would NOT expect good things from this.  At the very least, energy price and inflation increases.
