FIRST WORLD WEALTH 3

You need gold and silver. If you are too poor for gold, silver will do just fine. It is actually my contention that silver will do far better than gold. I've discussed it before but forgive me as I repeat myself ( because, new readers or old readers forgetting ). We have already hit both Peak Gold and Peak Silver Production. Silver supplies are dropping quicker because with China also in a economic downturn less copper and such is used, and a lot of silver comes as a byproduct of mining industrial ores.

*

In theory that could turn around as the western central banks lose control of the derivatives manipulation of precious metal, and silver returns to a free market pricing mechanism. When that happens, you'll probably not be able to afford silver then, so, word to the wise, stretch your ability to the max and buy silver NOW. Not tomorrow, not next week, certainly not next year-NOW. Because silver is going UP, way the hump up. Industrial use of silver pretty much destroys it. Without dirt cheap oil, which we last saw when you had hair and I had patience ( i.e., a long time ago ), it is near impossible to affordably recycle industrial silver.

*

Which means that the insane amounts of silver mined over the last century are for all intents and purposes gone. There is more gold above ground than silver. Forget the gold and silver ratio pricing you've seen historically. Silver will be headed to the moon ( the caveat is timing, of course ). Which is, paradoxically, why I don't buy more of it. A little is going to go a long way. If you don't buy now you are going to feel like a real idiot, but you can also buy as little as ( in theory, granted ) $100 worth now and have a couple of years wages later.

*

Now, that said, silver and gold kind of suck as wealth. They are great preserving value, are easily hidden, but if you ever have to cash them out you are kind of screwing yourself. Because, except for this very short period of history when we turned the last of the oil into tangible assets, gold and even silver are so scarce that once used will probably not be easily replaced. Think about After Oil, when you have one tank of gas left. Once you use it ( ignore shelf life issues for now ), that is it. All gone, sad panda.

*

Precious metals WILL get that way again, I can guarantee it. Why am I so confident? Because almost all ores are now at the bottom of the barrel stage, where huge machines must move huge amounts of earth which contain very little ore. If petroleum becomes too expensive, that ore is not mined. Even with the gold price at $1400, almost all of that is extraction cost. Just in the last ten years, each ounce of gold is now requiring a significant increase in fuel to process. I want to say fifty percent more, but don't quote me on that.

*

Even as companies are busier than ever using silver in solar panels or anti-stank socks or water filters, the amount mined in the last three years has dropped. Followed to its logical conclusion, we are soon out of new silver ( the belief that we will extract it from seawater stretches credibility as a believable strategy ). To my mind, that means that while you must have silver to combat hyperinflation, it is also a very poor move to ever sell it.

*

So, while it is wealth, it is largely a one off store of wealth. It is like your youth. If you don't invest your youth into retirement, it is a one time nonrenewable resource more than it is wealth. That is what paid for shelter is, not wealth but turning wealth into a means of not needing wealth. Not needing energy you only had in youth. Gold and silver is just stored energy, but energy that cannot be replaced. It sucks, but that doesn't mean you don't do it. It would suck MORE if you didn't.

*

Isn't that what wisdom in old age is? The realization that optimism was ill founded :) Now, let us return to a business as wealth. That too is problematic. Not just because the lawyers will steal the assets. And not just because of obsolescence. But because business in and of itself is also going to be an endangered species soon. You all agree that you need to Tribe Up, for security. Guess what tribes DON'T do. They don't practice capitalism but rather communism ( the good kind-and yes, that is a thing ).

*

Capitalism is NOT the best way to run an economy. It is the best way to run an economy with a surplus. It is also the best way to run an empire, but the cost is a central bank ( we've covered that before and I don't wish to get sidetracked ). Capitalism is NOT run for the benefit of the individual but for that of an elite class. Philosophically you have been taught that capitalism benefits everybody, but in real life the benefits always go PRIMARILY to the elite. Some is left to the commoners but that is not because of capitalism but because of the surplus in the first place. Don't put the cart before the horse.

*

You seem to forget that work Unions were primarily because of communism, NOT capitalism. No capitalist wants to give the workers extra wages. That wouldn't be “efficient”. Workers must, let us not mince words, steal the extra wages by force. I personally approve of such an arrangement. I didn't before, but that was at the beginning of the thirty year long wage suppression sold to us under the guise of a free market. Now that we see the end result of all capitalism and no communism, it isn't the great system we thought it was going to be.

*

Without surplus energy, you can't have banking or capitalism. You can only barter. And barter doesn't work all that well in a severe resource scarcity. If there is just enough game to provide meat for everyone, you cannot barter it. That suggests some tribe members will starve ( Food Stamps don't belong in a system of pure capitalism. Want to get rid of them? If you do, you are an idiot. What if you had no choice but to need them? ). That is when pure communism is practiced. Not that it ever had that name, before Karl Marx wanted to write instead of work at a factory.

*

A tribe is just like a family, but without incest. You don't practice capitalism with family. Go ahead, I dare you. You REALLY think that money you gave your sister is a loan? It won't get paid back on the principle, let alone the interest. Family really does run on the NEED principle, certainly not the ABILITY part. Same with a tribe. Capitalism worked, while we had surplus. Surplus is ending, along with capitalism. Forget a business long term.

*

Now, you could plan along the lines of a non-profit business, in that you are generating profit ( at times, perhaps ) but that doesn't guide the business as much as transitioning to a non-capitalistic system does. I'll cover that tomorrow ( last installment, I promise ), along with all the other partially successful wealth storing strategies to generate a whole system of wealth preservation.

FIRST WORLD WEALTH 2

I teased you a bit yesterday discussing true wealth, then went on to imply it was business based. Let's expand on that today. A lot of people want you to believe that skills are true wealth. These are usually folks selling expensive survival advice ( in a universe where just your chest rig for your mandatory Imperial Stormtrooper plastic poodle wounding carbine costs half as much as four years of minimum grain calories, because What Is Your Life Worth?, all the advice from $40k farmland to FLIR scopes is surreal on the affordability scale ), and then if poor they throw you the sop of skills.

*

Skills are important. I grant you that. Growing your own food is far superior to storing it. EXCEPT! Except when it isn't. Here in the desert, with dead soil and the issue of water transportation, the best farmer is going to have issues growing food after the collapse. You need both stockpiles and skills. And when preppers ONLY focus on one they are set up for failure. These followers of the Great Idaho Guru who cannot afford a $300k Idaho lot of land, and freeze dried foods and pallets of ammo, they are left with patio potted plants and a karate class.

*

Their odds of survival are much closer to zero than they wish. Their skills don't stack up against forces beyond their control, like weather or demographics. I'm not trying to disparage skills, only place them in context. A highly educated person is NOT carrying wealth around in their head. That fairy tale worked in the Horatio stories, the fables about fleeing Jews immigrating to America from Nazi Germany, the propaganda about ( dot, not feathers ) Indians on work vistas here in Silicon Valley.

*

All their skills were secondary to forces outside their control. The Indian programmer is not there because of his skill, but because a CEO wants more hooker and blow funds, because of the history of India including colonialism influencing his language abilities, the current temporary ascent of globalism, the downward trajectory of American empire and many other factors making his skill not so very important. A 19^th century butcher or baker or candlestick maker from Germany had more to thank the forces of Industrialization and the repression of wages than his skills in getting into this country.

*

Again, this does NOT discount skills. It merely places them in proper perspective. I had NO skill in law enforcement even after nominal training ( lacking the proper mindset and neurological wiring ) but because of the nuances of the Cold War and the economy, was utilized anyway. I had better skills in management but my primary attribute was willingness to work far below the desired wages of my peers, AND, the secondary effects of the financialization of the economy after deindustrialization. My, a-hem, skills in writing are still open to debate, and are probably secondary to lack of competition and my mindset of simplifying trends.

*

In short, skills are far less important than infrastructure, the cycles of history and geopolitics among other external factors. Remember, this is in context of creating wealth, only, for this discussion. Moving on, assets are a poor container of wealth. They are the easiest to plunder or destroy. All the 5.56 ammunition in the world isn't going to pay the taxman, even AFTER the collapse. A company of spearmen, employing the proper tactics, will easily surround and eliminate a well armed individual, and secure both arms and ammunition for the area warlord, so THAT barter is ill advised.

*

( The Maxim machinegun would have served for naught in colonial Africa had the indigs controlled the logistical tail rather than performed a frontal charge ) For all the blather and bother of the Asparagus Farmers Armed With FLIR Scoped Carbines advocates, a farm is both a food production system AND a big fat target ( unless you are up in the mountains, off grid and off paved roads, and even then your weak link might be US Imperial controlled Dinosaur Juice. Still, the best odds ). This is not to discourage assets, but just to point out they are the first thing easily taken more than they are wealth.

*

( And yes, permaculture and guerrilla gardens are very important for mountain farmers to utilize. As they should. One should wonder, however, if they are going to be successful OFF the mountain. Geography isn't everything but it is a lot. The gold here in the high desert is extremely diffuse. It needs diminishing oil to extract. Whereas the gold above ground gains in value from mines shutting down as the oil wells do. I hardly envision foreign occupation here. Then, the area becomes completely undesirable for all but myself. It DOES matter where you hang your collapse hat )

*

There is an area where assets become negative wealth and value. Whereas most folks think a McMansion close to the cubicle farm workplace, with a hot tub and a German SUV are wealth and assets, I view them as shackles to a death trap. Your dependence on oil, the grid and plastic boxes holding in central air is nothing more than a worker financed life support system to benefit the bankers. I don't just mean the mortgage, but placing yourself within striking range of ghetto battalions. If God is on the side of the bigger battalion, you are hosed, White Boy. Your high cyclic rate carbine will be of little use in the suburbs.

*

The only reason you are in danger is not because you are stuck in the city, but because you choose to wear golden handcuffs. By picking the wrong asset class to invest in, you are at this moment a debt slave and in the future a sex slave of the area warlord ( talking to you, guys. Even if OtherColor's rioting and lynching don't frighten you, perhaps the red ball gag scene in “Pulp Fiction” will. If not, I seriously worry about your mental state and your life choices ).

*

As they say, when your hole gets too deep, stop digging. Unless you go in horizontally and start digging a stairway back up and out, that is. But the “stop digging” is good enough without elaboration for our discussion here. Negative return assets are a fools gold you must objectively look at, shrug your shoulders in resignation at the turn of luck, and walk away from. Not to say you cannot partially cash in on, to finance a more self sufficient change in lifestyle. Great job? Live in your car as you repo the house ( if underwater ). Save every dime and very soon, you are financed.

*

Note, I do not disparage low asset folks living close to cities or in the “wrong” state. You can still make a prepping strategy work there. I'm only saying if you remain in danger under the delusion of holding on to assets that are illusions of wealth, you are a damn fool. A homeless guy in L.A. ( not for me, thanks, but this is illustrative ) who is willing and able to start hiking out of the area at the first whiff of irreversible trouble is in a better position than a millionaire in that city who is unwilling to leave because of asset possession. THAT analogy right there is what I want you to keep in mind balancing assets and danger.

*

Cash is not wealth. It is one thing only, SHORT term emergency funds. All money saved is nothing more that a BOB asset. It will, guar-an-Gott-damned-tee you, depreciate to its original value, and sooner than you would like. Paper currency is nothing more than company store chits, your paycheck. The company gives you the chits and you overpay renting your shack, buying groceries or anything else from company owned stores. They are Army Of Occupation script. They are worth less than toilet paper ( the wrong kind of paper, which will paper cut your hemorrhoids ) as soon as the company bankrupts.

*

That is certainly NOT rocket science. Of course, you NEED that script, that funny money, for emergencies, but it is the last kind of pretend wealth you want to be burdened with long term, AND, no matter what you do you lose wealth to one degree or another with it. Continued tomorrow, with gold and silver.

first world wealth

FIRST WORLD WEALTH

Preserving wealth isn't just a First World Problem ( I prefer “White People Problem”, but I've been informed I'm using too much ghetto vernacular. After reflection, I have to agree with this being a sloppy habit. I invested in the trap of it being edgy and cute, and I need to attempt to return to boring and stodgy, unless I wish to be complicit in butchering the Western language. In and of itself, not a huge deal. But it IS an additional assault our culture doesn't need. A few things are hard to reject. Yo, and Bitches, for instance. But this IS a concern I need to work on ).

*

Even peasants in Turd World crapholes have excess wealth to preserve. The habit of silver jewelry in India, for example. If you have enough to eat, most likely you are living in a culture and economy where surplus can be saved. If you are living in the US, and are not residing in a cardboard box under an overpass, you should have plenty of wealth you need to worry about saving. If you do not, you are wrong. And, no, I am not trying to throw stones in a glass house. Myself, I was wrong for the longest time.

*

Having an RV or mobile home is not preserving wealth, even if it is lowering your cost of living. Buying MRE's and semi-auto's is not preserving wealth. Placing Greenbacks under the mattress is a great form of short term savings, but it isn't preserving wealth. And no, silver and gold alone is a good habit but it isn't necessarily preserving wealth. It preserves SAVINGS, but it doesn't grow wealth, which is needed to preserve wealth if you intend to pass it on to your children.

*

The simple answer to preserving your wealth is, there is no ONE answer. It is a multi-faceted issue. Fortunately for you, I love hearing myself talk so I have plenty of time to blather on about it. Unfortunately for you, I have plenty of time...:) What got me thinking about this was an article by Ron Unz ( HERE ) where he mentions that the West Coast Jewish Mob had a hand in liquidating the Japanese American property for a tidy profit ( the taxpayers were then allowed to pay pennies on the dollar reparations ). This got my few spare neurons firing.

*

I said to myself, Self, you stud the ladies swoon over, what could those poor Nipponese have done differently to preserve their wealth, as this is highly pertinent in today's climate of Deplorable asset stripping? The Japanese Americans had worked like dogs but been legally prohibited from owning land ( they used the Anchor Baby loophole that the Latinos are now employing. Good or bad, a discussion for another time ), but they were frugal and hard working and did eventually secure farms and small businesses. And that is what was taken from them, by the lawyers ( legal crooks ).

*

Just hard work and skill ( two things the Japanese culture does very well ) don't necessarily preserve wealth ( the similar German culture saw immigrants successfully establish themselves here, fighting for Lincoln's Union, then being persecuted during WWI ) when it is in forms easily confiscated. You cannot steal someone's skill sets, but you can sure swipe the tools and homes and use the legal system against the skills use. The Chinese practice of family bankrolled business is equally subject to theft, but they are also fundamentally different culturally.

*

A lot of Chinese are mere merchants. They don't necessarily have a set skill that they must utilize for a living. Their skill is using racial networks for supply, and selling anything anywhere. They are just as easily targeted, but they can recover much easier. Their infrastructure cannot be confiscated, or infiltrated ( since it is family and Chinese orientated ). The end products at a stall or store may be taken, but not their ability to be restarted. The Japanese and Germans relied on their in country system, which turned against them. Now, I'm not suggesting you fantasize about starting a Redneck Infrastructure. How could you?

*

I am suggesting that you view your business defensively. How can you get screwed by the lawyers and politicians? Because they have, and they will. We are no longer a nation that rewards skill and hard work. We are predominantly a place where far too many people want something for nothing and their chicks for free. I mean, don't get me wrong. Fraud and Consumer Beware are as old as trade ( “pig in a poke”, for instance ). What is different is that not only is this culturally widespread and condoned, it has become about the only way to prosper.

*

Yes, a shrinking pie and the fight for the remaining pieces, granted, but the acceptance of same is what should worry you. Look no farther than my field, the survivalist publications. How many try to screw you? Not just Old Hat information, lazy solutions, blatant misinformation but actual dangerous advice? 99% of the practitioners were of this mold. Luckily, that number has shrunk, perhaps to as little as 90%, after the ad revenues shrinkage and YouTube censorship. It is turning into more of a meritocracy, thank any of the gods you follow.

*

Yes, I know, blasphemy. But you do realize that many of the charlatans pandered to your sincere divine belief for their con game, yes? I might be a barbaric heathen but I try to remain fair. But the shrinkage of disposable income, and available advertising revenue, has shrunk the posers and pretenders a bit. That is wonderful, yes? The quality of information has improved. There has never been a better time to get actual helpful advice since Kurt Saxon privately published to end run the establishment approved doom merchants. He had his issues, but less than most. Martha says, that's a GOOD thing.

*

( Kurt might have been racist, although if so he wasn't a weak Nancy Boy apologizing for it. He was terrible citing his sources, giving the impression he had invented/visualized ideas himself. He was terribly non-prolific, his periodicals anything but on schedule. But he was the only frugal survivalist and would still be if not for yours truly. In the great scheme of things, he was a King Stud, and we love him )

*

Now, thinking back on the hundreds of prepper publications that rushed to riches as the middle class was decimated, did any of you notice much if any backlash against it ( in the beginning, not just the last few years )? I'd wager not. It has become so common that the lowest common denominator set up shop, sometimes we don't even notice it. When you go spend $10 on a movie ticket, to see a $200million budget production, don't you usually walk away unimpressed? When was the last time you enjoyed a meal out?

*

( I thought I was King Krap, finally finding a decent french fry [ at cheating, hater Wendy's, no less ], but once again I was setting myself up for disappointment. I was lucky the first two times to get the fries right out of the grease, and it was heaven on a stick. The last time I went, I discovered the horrid reality of lukewarm fries from the purveyors of the Great Frosty Shake-Down. My faithlessness in humanity was restored )

*

Okay, I'm just getting started, but my arm grows weary ( one finger hunt and peck, as always ) and I still must throw a bone to my e-mail newsletter subscribers. Continued tomorrow.

wolverines!, bitches

WOLVERINES!, BITCHES

A treatise on how to enjoy the coming conflict as our empire and civilization collapse into a die-off. This is not to glory in death and destruction for its own sake, because let's face facts, our enemies have practiced the art of war while we have hidden far away cowering behind our money, getting soft and weak. We won't know what we are doing, and will do it badly, and suffer exponentially as a result of mandatory On The Job Training. What I mean by enjoying the process is a means of acceptance to minimize the Suck factor.

*

Your future, my future, and if the little peckerwood is still alive, Ross Perot's future, it is all going to suck. And as the Sandbox Soldiers are fond of saying, you need to Embrace The Suck. Truer words have rarely been spoken. Yeah, you signed up for the National Guard to get a college education. Now you are killing Little Brown People, hoping your balls don't get shot off and exchanged for a colostomy bag. It sucks. We grant you that it sucks. Since there is nothing you can do about it, embrace the suck. Because what is the alternative?

*

You can be and stay miserable. Which sucks worse than the suck. I was like that in the military, a whiny bitch just feeling sorry for myself. I guzzled a lot of alcohol, on and off duty, feeling sorry for myself. I would have been better off embracing the crap the idiots were pouring my way. Instead I let it ruin my time there. And I didn't learn my lesson from that for a very long time, being miserable a good portion of my life. I mean, I'm not a happy person by nature. I dwell, brood and mull far too much ( you think this writing crap is easy? Try living in my head ).

*

So, when I say I was miserable, I mean I was MORE miserable than I had to be. Here's the best way I can describe it. You hate Monday. Everyone hates Monday, except the mean spirited black hearted boss who only lives through the pain of others. Everyone goes into work on Monday with a big ass frown. Which ain't easy turning upside down. Your day WILL suck. It is a better guarantee than Rosie O'Donnell eating another donut to fill in her thigh cellulite.

*

But you can force yourself to stay in a good mood. You know you don't want to be there. You know a healthy dose of economic sodomy is in store for you. But if you smile and crack jokes and look at some small glimmering bright side, if you really mean it ( at first you WILL be forced to force yourself to stay positive ), you will piss off all your co-workers but better yet, your mean ass boss. You have eliminated their power over you, and made your life better and theirs worse. And, bonus winning, after awhile the good mood will come more naturally.

*

THAT is embracing The Suck. The apocalypse is going to be a lifetime of Worst Monday's Ever. Not forever. Eventually the population declines enough that the available resources are aligned again and most folks will return to as normal as it is going to get. You'll have SOME vacation time between battles, then. Whether you make it to that point or not is irreverent. Why? Because you are busy forcing yourself to have A Happy Monday. You are living each day as if it were your last, because it probably is.

*

Are you going to bemoan the fact this is your last day, or live it like it is your last day? That is YOUR decision, no one else. And yes, that statement used to really piss me off too. Like, say you are in prison. How in the hell do you enjoy THAT? And yes, eventually I had to quit my own job because the evil boss bitch was better at grinding me down than I was at staying happy about it. I mean, I did my work, that of a non-existent coworker and half of hers, so she had plenty of time to work at humping with me ( I pulled few punches and usually told her how much she sucked, so I never helped me too much ).

*

In the end of course she had to win, but I held out for five years under her tyrannical rule. I'm proud of THAT. In the end I lost but I made her fight like a bastard for it. I could not stay happy, in the end I could no longer embrace the suck, but by God I tried like a mother humper. Embracing the suck doesn't always work, but you have to try to the very end. You can't always grin like a retard while you are getting shot and sodomized, but you can embrace the pain for some other gain. Live for revenge, and then die from your wounds, happy.

*

Okay, there are going to be a lot of things going wrong during the collapse. You will be hungry. You'll be cold ( or hot, for you pussies that think mankind never evolved, settled or lived in tropical climes until the 1960's when he had AC. If you live in AC country, and think you need AC after the apocalypse, you are already dead and walking, a zombie. You best learn to live without it now, for an immediate tactical advantage ). These are things you need to learn how to embrace. Being hungry? Yeah, that sucks.

*

It IS going to suck. But being hungry is going to be normal. The thing to worry about instead is being weak from lack of food, or dying from lack of nourishment. THOSE are far more dangerous than hunger pains. The discipline you need to Embrace The Suck will help you here, by allowing you to somewhat ignore the distraction of your stomach. Yeah, your dingus is trying to mislead you all the time, also. Discipline, geriatric Jedi!

*

Being hot or cold? It is the same thing. Respect the bodies signals, but don't be hostage. As long as you know you won't freeze to death or get heat stroke, the signals are noise you need to ignore. You don't have a choice, since they are going to be with you all the time. Working on Monday, the dingus boss is going to be going out of his way ( well, nowadays, out of HER way ) to make your life miserable. You cannot ignore that. But you can mute the signal and not let it get you down too long. Suck up the misery knowing it will piss off the boss.

*

THAT is your reward for embracing the suck, pissing off the boss. In the apocalypse, when you embrace the suck better than others, THEY get even more frustrated and more stressed. That is your reward. Embrace the discomfort of others. It is your mothers milk. In combat, the stakes are pretty damn high. But you know what? If you make the other guy more stressed, more afraid than you, you win. That is your reward for forging ahead through your fear, for taking more Suck than he did before he broke. You won.

*

Does this seem mean spirited to you, relishing others pain and suffering? Honestly? Are you telling me you do not live for a healthy juicy serving of Schadenfreude? You humping LIER! Have you ever heard the saying, “comedy is based on the suffering of others”? It makes us feel better about ourselves. I don't go all PC and declare that a bad thing. I call it human nature. Which is funny as hell because we are all dinguses, the way we treat others.

*

We fight among ourselves to be rewarded by treating others worse. We earn our place in the human order by demonstrating how we can persevere while others mistreat us. What is not to laugh about? It is absurd! We are naked chimps throwing feces at each other, howling at the top of our lungs. If you don't want to cry, you have to laugh. Taking it seriously, you let the others win. You WANT them to feel bad, so you do not. Yes, Spanky, it IS a zero sum game unless you are lucky enough there is a surplus for both of you to be winners.

*

But the time for Participation Trophies is over. Did you notice that phenomenon took place right about the time our culture went under the waves to its death for the last time? Suddenly, we started teaching there were no winners, only “try-ers”, at the very time Political Correctness took the throne. The communists won, and we deluded ourselves that no one had to win. What a bunch of humping losers! We have returned to a time of winners and losers. YOU are a loser. I am a loser. You can fight back, or be a whiny pussy.

*

The first thing you do fighting back is to not let them win over how you think and control yourself. And to be “nice” is to be controlled by those bastards. Because while you are forced to be nice to your enemies, they are busy being very much NOT nice. Recognize the fight you are in, before you can even fight back. I started by embracing hate. I allow myself to hate the humpers. But I'm not just complaining or resentful. I'm using it to fuel my preparations, my mental state. I could keep going on forever, but that's enough.

GREER MOUNTAIN DUDE 2

Greer, in an orgasmic splatter of over confidence, declared the stair step collapse is good for at least another hundred years. Perhaps this is the Space Nerd of his youth returning, hard nipples at the thought of technology solving all our problems. Perhaps he views Fracking Oil as the newest and greatest technology. Otherwise, I'm not sure what energy there is going to be to keep us from a high dive into a shallow pool of options. Greer obviously “solved” the overpopulation problem by declaring no combat deaths were allowed, and now declares no combat over dwindling resources is allowed.

*

Yeah, he believed the problem of world population was hype from the doomers. Because, as soon as everyone everywhere went over to permaculture, we could just carry on as usual while people slowly stopped having as many kids. That is what happens when you spend too much time reading Druid books. You kind of forget about human nature. Or reality. Was he not aware of Industrial Farming? Did he think it was optional? Sigh. Specialists trying to be generalists. Optimists thinking they can think pessimistically. Your bias is showing through, buddy.

*

Let's look at China for a second. They are self sufficient in food grain. Everyone could get enough domestic rice. But for a complete diet reflective of a modern society ( as opposed to a peasant farmer society ), they import a lot of protein in animal feed. Pretend they solve their swine flu problem, they are still vulnerable to finances and transportation. What if there is a issue getting food from Brazil or Africa? Do you think the Africans are going to play the passive Irish in a potato famine? For five centuries Africa has played the Full Retard, constantly at war with itself to the point it couldn't fight colonizers.

*

What do you think of them now? As oil supplies contract, the military power of the colonizers is thwarted. Africa merely has to keep being Africa to win, constantly aggressive and tribal. China not only has to transport food from the continent, it has secured that food through playing the Colony Game. Granted, they are bartering infrastructure for food rather than seizing by force, but it still needs a military there to secure the food. Any guesses how soon the rebels try to nullify the Chinese nation states agreement with the African nation state over that food? How soon China would ramp up military might after that?

*

The world MUST move to decentralize as energy supplies contract. China's dependence of foreign food, drought stricken areas to include nuclear armed Pakistan dependence of foreign food, the US's dependence of foreign oil to fertilize and grow its food, all these depend of centralization brought about by surplus oil. As oil becomes less of a surplus, the only way to move is from centralization to decentralization. Yet, everyone is dependent on centralized systems. To think that the transaction will be less than catastrophic ( or to think it will last a long time ) is simply wishful thinking.

*

Look at the US. It must implode, for some areas to survive. The West coast is worthless as soon as our Pacific colonies are lost. Once the West Coast is toast ( along with all the Left Coast Yuppie Scum BlueBelly idiots who somehow think playing the Brown Shirts to the Rothschild's will keep The Spice of perfectly insane real estate values and wages on par with the weather continuing to flow ), west of the Sierra Nevada's east to at least the 100^th Meridian becomes worthless territory it cannot supply or defend.

*

The remaining land able to be farmed without excess oil inputs is chockablock buttholes to elbows with the assorted villainy of the globe, to include the South. So, one half the country will need to be completely depopulated ( no water infrastructure ) and the other half needs to kill off 90% of its surplus population to feed itself “organically” or with “permaculture”. Does that sound like a century of slow collapse to you? Now apply that to the rest of the world. We already discussed the Chinese issue with imported food.

*

South America if left to its own devices should muddle through. One has to wonder what it is going to look like, as the White Latinos inheriting a centuries long feudal arrangement might have gotten exactly the system that will work best, or if the huge mega-cities full of peasants will prove uncontrollable. But that issue will be settled long before a century is up ( with the die-off needed to depopulate the cities of Useless Eaters ) as in the triage system that continent will receive near zero energy imports. But, NOT stair step as much as Purge.

*

Africa stays Africa and just gets more of the same famine, genocide and war. No collapse there, because they are already there. So, in Africa, Greer is vindicated! The middle east reverts back to uninhabited desert, as before. Lots of Mohammedans have to be resettled six feet under to make way for that. One wonders, given Egyptian track records, if they will be smart enough to blow the Aswan dam and try to restart low tech agriculture. India? They are used to dying off, but what if China is eyeing them as a closer ag exporter? Would they trick the Paki's into attacking first?

*

Oz, in theory, might just see a stair step collapse, if they can isolate and are not blindsided by the legions of Chinese fifth elements disguised as Politically Correct citizens. I'm not sure about their petroleum situation, though. If they must import too much, then they can't stop exporting or allowing the Zips to colonize them. They might have screwed the pooch for a one off suburban lifestyle financed with its independence. Who says Americans are the only dumb asses? We might resemble that remark, but also resent it :)

*

Russia might not make out so badly. They've already practiced a pretty sharp collapse and if the rest of the globe collapses fast enough they will have enough resources left to manage to hang on limping along for quite some time. But Russia is no case study. What Greer or even Orlov might be missing it that as bad of a collapse as Russia experienced, it was saved for the simple fact that the US needed to use it as a gas station. Hence, some collapse was averted on purpose, with outside intervention ( no, I don't think it was to keep the nuclear weapons safe. It was to keep our new Color Revolutioned resource depot safe ).

*

Without that intervention, would they have gone down to pre-WWII Chinese Warlord levels? If so, that doesn't seen like a hundred year long stair step collapse to me. Remember, war and disease never cause a collapse. Food supply implosion causes a collapse, and then war and disease finishes things off. If the Soviets went down to a decentralized Africanized level, and the US kept factions fighting to make a clear path for a resource grab, our outcome would have stayed the same but theirs would have been more of a faster collapse.

*

So, Greer's Thesis holds for Africa, Oz and Russia. Probably, maybe. The rest of the planet will see a faster collapse due to global transportation ending, oil exports ending and global financial systems the first to fall. Now, apologies to Dingo Down Under, but do 99 out of a 100 of us give a crap about the Stair Step Collapse locations, when we are busy with a fast collapse? Hell, no. Careful asking a tree hugger for collapse advice, is all I'm saying.

greer mountain dude

GREER MOUNTAIN DUDE

I came across this link ( HERE ), a reprint of a new article by Greer. The link to the link was at the new Green Mountain Dudes latest article ( HERE ). Now, I have philosophical issues with each one, but Greer really chaps my ass. Mountain Dude is just a product of his culture, a bit of a pacifist weenie since he is a Canadian. Otherwise, he is really a smart guy that I can't get enough of his writing. Greer, who I respect as a writer, is far too close minded and not open to new ideas.

*

Each has invaluable additions to prepperdom, but you must calculate their peculiarities into their conclusions. Just like you all want to acknowledge that my hair is perfect, but you cannot abide entertaining the notion your Go Juice is running out so you have to take one star away from my rating. Mountain Dude is mostly right. Tools and food are of primary importance. And perhaps in Canada, which is much more harmonious culturally ( as seemingly are his working vacation spots ), there will be cooperation after the collapse and arms are not as vital.

*

Hey, I'm rooting for him. I HOPE this is the case. But for Americans to listen to him is, well, retarded. His conclusions and priorities are just fine for him and his, but they do NOT cross the border well at all. Americans are a bunch of malcontents who are tribal and vicious. We had slaves of both colors and the dregs of society as ancestors, with a bunch of Blue Blood asswhores using and abusing us ( and yes, Spanky, we WOULD care for a bit of the ultra violence in retaliation ). Before Independence we were not meant to play well together, and since then it has just gotten worse.

*

Green Dude is spot on with his derision of this culture of violence, because he sees a lot of empty posturing by former Straw Bosses now made serfs who engage in empty posturing and equate masculinity with owning a plastic poodle shooter. Hey, so do I. Nine out of ten Semi Simians will be road pizza the first few minutes of the apocalypse. And yes, that is partially because they own guns instead of tools and food production. But more so because they are out of practice delivering violence on target.

*

They think a mag dump worth of bullets on target is the same thing as violence on target, and they are wrong. It is the necessary philosophy of the love of hate and love of violence. Do you think ADD meds and soy, fags and feminization, impotent unemployment and economic targeting and luxurious leisurely lifestyles were accidental? The goal was to turn us into eunuchs. It worked for most of us ( and you don't know if it worked on you until it is time to re-embrace aggression ). But one shouldn't confuse ability with necessity.

*

Greer is in love with his original idea of stair step collapse. Once he made his writing chops and started his paycheck with that idea, he could never let it go ( kind of like Rawles and his 30 Year Prepper Plan, Blue Helmet Invasions and Yuppie Scum Survivalism )( I have to hand it to Orlov that he transcended his original claim to fame work rather well ). He instructs us to read “Overshoot”, which gives us the multiplying microbes in the beer vat and the reindeer on the island examples of overshooting resources leading to mass die-off, then he completely ignores that conclusion favoring a crowd pleasing extra slow centuries long collapse.

*

In case you are confused as to my ire, that means he is a whore for the book royalties and a money grubber and like a Gore Warming advocate scientist is just in it for the paycheck and facts be damned ( Green Mountain Dude is a Warming fan, but I forgive him and the many others because of the wave of lies force fed to everyone. Also, because he could be right. And, because he is genuine about it and not out to profit from it ).

*

( Also, he IS actually living through the Atlantic conveyor belt current breaking down. And, have you seen some of his cool crap, like the catapult windmill? ). Greer has a keen mind and you can learn a lot from him. I enjoyed his years at the blog and bought all his books. But he thinks because we never had an overnight collapse, all Doomers are wrong. He thinks because we've had a mild fifty year collapse that we'll have another century of that. It is black and white with him. His slow collapse model, or delusional fear.

*

Now, to be fair, a few times buried in all his hate and discontent towards anyone NOT soft collapse orientated, he does mention not all areas will collapse equally. Which is really big of him because otherwise how would be explain Somalia or Afghanistan? Haiti or Detroit? So, he does sneak in the occasional “Well, I'm right but in a few instances some areas will collapse quicker”. He then goes back to pimping permaculture as the solution for everyone. Again, technically he covered his ass, and he does offer a lot of good material to work with.

*

Yet, I can't quite forgive him. A bit of a pompous nerd ( God! I'm not like that, am I? ). The article linked to at the beginning of this piece really is a great summation of his whole philosophy. He basically dismisses any concerns of a faster collapse because, well, we haven't had one since he started writing! But we had more Stair Step Collapse! I are Greer, hear me roar! Okay, I kind of get that. I love being proved correct myself. Not that I have. I'm kind of like Reese, who according to the criminal psychologist has concocted the perfect cover story that cannot be disproved.

*

Fast collapse is a faith based religion, granted. I'm NOT talking about an overnight collapse, although one Yellowstone blow or an asteroid hit would laugh at Greer's optimism. Just one that starts as a single domino falling and the others just happen to be aligned at that time. One that isn't a continuing set of problems dwelt with but finally one that couldn't be. All that is required to be concerned with it is the realization that perhaps unfounded optimism isn't the best Plan A, with no Plan B.

*

Okay, tomorrow let's look under the hood of Model Greer and see how silly slow collapse is. Unless you are a Fracking Fanboy, the math don't work.

slavery is wrong think 2

SLAVERY IS WRONG THINK 2

Now, please do not misunderstand me. Slavery is uncool. It is a dingus move. It is great when it benefits you ( surely you are all old enough to remember the joke, “I have nothing against Disadvantaged Youth Oppressed Minorities. Everyone should own one” and I'll just throw in the other tasteless joke I enjoy for no other reason than to get everyone to be displeased with me. “How many Jews can fit in a VW Bug? It depends if you use the ashtray or not” ) but not so great when you are the slave. So, in a perfect world, we abolish slavery.

*

If I were in Unicorn Fairyland where the SJW's hang out and microaggressions like telling the above minority jokes were outlawed, it WOULD be a perfect world. Alas, only those surrounded by the wet and warm constant temperature, the soothing sound of a heartbeat lulling you to sleep as you have your Gott Damn head up your ass think this is a perfect world or ever will be one. This is why we can't have nice things, so many dumbasses around ignoring Darwin. Just be warned, crapbirds, open season is coming.

*

Slavery did not begin in the Confederacy, nor did it end there. Leftists seem to conveniently forget the Gulag system in their beloved Soviet Union. They can't seem to recall the Christian slaves held by their buddies practicing Muhammadanism currently. Or that a lot of illegal Latinos are sex slaves. No one EVER in history accused an anti-Deplorable of logical thought, now did they? It does zero good to argue with them because estrogen squirters ( to include Soy Bitches ) in general work off of emotion ( so do guys, but ONLY hate. Then, subtract Little Brain thinking. There is a smidge of logic in there somewhere ).

*

I'm kidding, gals! Guys don't think logically. They USE logic as a tool to hate or get laid. It just looks sloppier when gals use emotion for the same two things ( well, breeding. Sex is secondary ). But at least guys are sometimes using logic, so we got that going for us. I'm not saying it doesn't suck to be a gal. Talk about those fetuses wearing down ones body early on. But you also don't put yourself in harms way, for fun. So you got THAT going for you fems.

*

Now, to kind of get back on track. The slavery issue the FedGov loves to flog us over the head with means absolutely nothing to the Feds. They wouldn't have cared if slavery remained, or not, in the words of your Prime Cheese Dingus Abe Lincoln. They just wanted the power of the people and the states to be usurped by the Federales. They wanted a bigger paycheck from the states to pay for this new fangled Industrial Revolution. They wanted their bankers to make more money off factories than farmers. Slavery was a pretext.

*

That is why “reparations” and “evil racist Whites” must be pushed incessantly. If us evil White Folk ever take power back for the states, why, slavery would return! Only Uncle Sam can save OtherColors! See how simple it is? Armed Whites want to kill all Blacks-just ask anyone! There is why your “Lynchings & Powerful KKK and stereotypical racist redneck” memes keep getting pushed in your face. It isn't to convince Deplorables, it is to keep the BlueBellies quacking in fear and voting against guns or state power. Unless it is GOOD state power like Sanctuary States, duh!

*

And why do you think the federal government allows states to flaunt their power against the Federales? Are the feds losing control? Perhaps. Or, could it be they are trying to trick a Deplorable state into thinking it can declare independence? In that case, I would not hesitate to guess that if the feds cannot spare enough troops from guarding the opium, they will indeed nuke a rebel city. You heard it here first ( I think. If not, leave me my illusions of omnipotence ). You do NOT hump with the Rothschild's profits, bitches.

*

Do you REALLY think Trump is fighting the Deep State? If he was threatening the status quo, the establishment wouldn't have sicced its attack poodle Hilary on the man ( in power, she has squads of assassins working for her. Out of power? I have my doubts because that means she has to use her own money. Which ain't going to happen ). They just would have shot him with a Magic Bullet. THINK, damn you! The entire state and economy is set up to profit our benevolent overlords. Any thought contrary to that is wishful thinking.

*

And do you know what those in power do? Bueller? They use slaves to profit themselves. You wish to return to a gentler time, a Deplorable Dictatorship? You do remember we had Soldier Slaves, do you not? Most towns have slabs of rock with chiseled names documenting the casualties of colonialism. Visit one of those as you dream of a better yesteryear. Another benefit of the War Against Slavery, taking defensive militia and turning them into offensive national conquerors. But we abolished slavery! Surely THAT was worth a million corpses? To free four million Blacks. I don't care for that math. And I think some folks agree that 50 million US abortions since Roe V Wade is a bit more evil than Nazis and 6 million Jews.

*

But they are mostly WHITE fetuses, right? Well, that makes it okay! That way, White females can have their own little economic slaves when they do choose to carry one of the money machines to term ( given No Fault Divorces coming right after the abortion laws ). I don't want to get into pseudo slavery however. That distorts the discussion. I just have to get these things off my chest. Let us, FINALLY for the love of God, talk about future slavery.

*

Slaves are free food. They were fed by someone else, growing them into full size labor machines. Free food. But there is also very little choice, strategically. Unless you are Aztecs killing and eating prisoners of war, what do you do with POW's? Remember, if you make it imperative that they do not surrender, they won't. Meaning, you need more soldiers to defeat berserkers. Which is why I never understood the Feather Indians torturing prisoners, giving them incentive to fight much harder ( I know it served SOME purpose-cultural dictates always do. I just don't understand what ).

*

If warriors know they will become slaves, that is most of the time preferable to dying in battle. Slavery serves a purpose of saving soldiers. Slavery sucks, but if it is better than dying, well, there you go. When you are defeating your enemy by killing all males ( because the enemy employs all males as combatants ), what do you expect to do with the women and children? You can obviously pick the ones with the nicest racks, improving your gene pool. And isn't that better for her, than slavery or death?

*

Again, it isn't that slavery is good. It is that slavery is the lesser evil ( and Jesus, of course I have to spell it out so as to avoid Butt Hurt, that doesn't excuse the slave trade as practiced by Yankee Scum Puritans. We are talking at a more primitive tribal/feudal level, not proto-industrial economies supplementing iron with flesh. If Yankees were THAT opposed to slavery they wouldn't have bought cotton picked by Southern Blacks ). Should you leave the women and children to starve or be killed by brigands, once the males are defeated and dead? Isn't it more humane to make them war bribes or slaves, in the great scheme of things?

*

Should you kill off the young males, because they are future warriors delivering vengeance upon you, or sell them into slavery? And yes, for every Less Evil act of slavery, there will be slavery just for profit. That sucks, as we have also ascertained. But everyone WILL practice slavery. That is historical normalcy and it will return as our labor force is once again returned to non-petroleum means. Those winners in calories and workers win wars. No one is going to NOT have slaves if it disadvantages him.
