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.
