5 days and its done

anyone interested in how economic crises can affect individual lives will be very interested in the following vivid description of life for an Argentinian following the economic collapse.

some eye opening stuff here... now imagine the whole world in this situation??

A man with a wife and two or three kids can't set up a watch. I don't care if you are SEAL, SWAT or John Freaking Rambo, no 6th sense is going to tell you that there is a guy pointing a gun at your back when you are trying to fix the water pump that just broke, or carrying a big heavy bag of dried beans you bought that morning.

After all these years I learned that even though the person that lives out in the country is safer when it comes to small time robberies, that same person is more exposed to extremely violent home robberies. Criminals know that they are isolated and their feeling of invulnerability is boosted. When they assault a country home or farm, they will usually stay there for hours or days torturing the owners. I heard it all: women and children getting raped, people tied to the beds and tortured with electricity, beatings, burned with acetylene torches.

Big cities aren't much safer for the survivalist that decides to stay in the city. He will have to face express kidnappings, robberies, and pretty much risking getting shot for what's in his pockets or even his clothes.

So, where to go? The concrete jungle is dangerous and so is living away from it all, on your own.


this part stood out for me form your own small community!
The solution is to stay away from the cities but in groups, either by living in a small town-community or sub division, or if you have friends or family that think as you do, form your own small community.

Allthough there is certainly some truth in what this person writes, it is also fearmongoring. The graphic description of how certain villans will molest and torture you while being on the land alone is pretty much over the edge. And I wonder what the point is to write that.

This is even the same in normal everyday life today. That is no differnet on march 2009 as it will be under global colapse. In fact the chances of that to happen under global collapse are even much less! Since transport will be very difficult also for such types you have far less a chance to be a victim of such crimes then today.

You then make a plead for staying in the country in groups. This should enable the people to protect eachother better and stay more safe. I must say, I have serious doubts about the motives from this person. Although there is some truth in the securitymatter of groups, it is also true that staying in larger numbers makes you more visible for the PTB and a much easier target to catch and take off to the camps.

I am sorry, but I have serious doubts about the intentions of the person who writes (and posts) stuff like this.
I am sure Catz, that you tried to add to the preparation with more scenarios and better preparation. But I find this rather 'suspicious'.

How do you all feel about this?

You may have wanted to add that this are random quotes from a text, that several points and parts are missing in the text, and that this was written by someone in Argentina as a reflection on economic collapse in 2001!!!

I am sorry Catz, but I seriously wonder what your intentions were posting that the way you did!

Maybe I should have pasted the whole thing and not just a few quotes but I did provide the link.

My only intentions were to help people prep. as the editor states it's "food for thought". there are 4 parts to that article and lots of good info IMO. I had never even thought of a bullet proof vest until I read the article so might wake some up to what could happen when TSHTF.

These are lessons learned and could save a life.

this is only part 1

Catz and OP should be considering get a chat or a room !!
No update but bla,bla,etc

and tell us, what do you have to add to this thread,
other then making sure it stays on top of the list?

Hey 321... bug off!

I got some bulletproof vest some time ago
it was amazingly expensive (1500 $)
and it is not 100% bulletproof
it fits well, but offcourse I never ever wear it normally because there is no reason for it at the moment
I don't regret buying it at the time
I do have had many many moments where I wondered what other things I coudl have bought with 1500$

for example a HAM radio, a solarpanel with generator, sharpening stones, axes, knifes, a second crossbow with steel arrows, medicine (!!!), and loads of dried and canned food

it's all a matter of choices I guess...

This clip illustrates what can be expected worldwide



don't think this is NOT about your town
it will be soon

are you prepared?

I hadn't priced the vests but WOW that is a lot of money. HAM radio is at the top of my list but money is an issue for us now.

Thanks may wake some up!

grow a garden. Help rebuild your nation before these thought become self fulfilling. This is what the dark ones want.

102 pages of crap. i hope the OP is proud of this wallpaper.

It is very repetitive but for some reason I keep reading it.Its interesting to see how people are preparing and what they are expecting.Just dont click on it if it annoys you.Its still interesting to some .

Thank you for helping to keep up exactly that what you detest so much! You do a good job!

By the way, are you prepared?

snake oil salesmen are conmen. OP hasn't asked us for anything. Especially money.
are you prepared?
s

maybe you can share with us how you are preparing yourself Tony

Not sure if you were agreeing with me when I called bullshit on the ecosystem nonsense... your response was kind of unclear. And you asked me in another post if I was saying to prepare, yes I am. Y2K was a problem that was fixed with a lot of money thrown at it...

What we are facing now gets worse precisely by throwing money at it, because it is just concentrating the wealth of the many into the hands of a very few, who do NOT have the best interest of the human race in mind. This meltdown is completely engineered by the elites.. and it will get much worse before it gets better.

For anyone still reading this post, ask yourself this: Where did all the money that was lost by all of these companies go? Do you honestly believe it just vanished into thin air? For instance, if I play a slot machine and I "lose" 20 bucks, is it really lost? To me, yes. But now the casino has it.

So what or who has the trillions of dollars that were lost last year, and for what purpose is that money going to be used by them? Well, to buy up anything of real value, like gold and silver.. things that have withstood the test of time as money, and not the paper debt instrument you have in your billfold.

Yes, be prepared, because predicting the future is not as hard as it might seem, at least as far as the course of human events goes. It is like throwing a leaf into a stream. If you know the currents, you can predict with fair certainty where that leaf will be in the future, either short or long term.

Sorry if this is kind of off topic.. but all indications are that we are headed for a huge collapse, and you need to plan exactly what you will do and where you will be to make your stand when the time comes. Myself, I will be in a small community of people with different skill sets, and we will survive.

So what if your original prediction of 5 days was incorrect, the principles by which you arrived at your conclusion were sound.

hey there -

I agreed with you before, and agree with you now again
and yes, it is pretty clear and inevitable where this is going, eventhough that massive denial is all around us and does not make any sense whatsoever to me

and you are right, all those trilliosn of dollars, also the 780 billion form the Bushcriminals last year, that was enforced upon congres under the threat of nuking homesoil (!!!) has vanished!! Nobody ever heard form it again!!!
All we heard is that they want MORE.
The trilliosn are thrown into bottomless pittfalls and all that money is just lost into the hands of TPTB who orchestrate this global collapse completely. All that money is to finance their endgame I think,

It is so unbelievably wicked and evil that it indeed is very hard to believe it, and yet is is completely true

hang tough, and get all your supplies in there
if you like mail me op537866 add gmail dot com
would be very interested to hear more on your preparations and so on

me tel u now so u belive me 15 may

Yep Real Glow again but have admit its interesting at some points.

Just got notice my cousin is found
he is severely wounded by 'unnatural causes'
and in coma in some hospital
but they hope he will make it
there is no explanation however that he is found 1100 miles from his home in another country
but at least we tracked him down - finally

OP, good news your cousin is found. sending best wishes for his health!

This story is pinned today ... Huge story IMO one more dot to total global financial collapse. ~ Catz

Run on UK’ Sees Foreign Investors Pull $1 Trillion Out of the City
Published on 03-08-2009

Banking crisis undermines Britain's reputation as a safe place to hold funds

A silent $1 trillion "Run on Britain" by foreign investors was revealed yesterday in the latest statistical releases from the Bank of England. The external liabilities of banks operating in the UK – that is monies held in the UK on behalf of foreign investors – fell by $1 trillion (£700bn) between the spring and the end of 2008, representing a huge loss of funds and of confidence in the City of London.

Some $597.5bn was lost to the banks in the last quarter of last year alone, after a modest positive inflow in the summer, but a massive $682.5bn haemorrhaged in the second quarter of 2008 – a record. About 15 per cent of the monies held by foreigners in the UK were withdrawn over the period, leaving about $6 trillion. This is by far the largest withdrawal of foreign funds from the UK in recent decades – about 10 times what might flow out during a "normal" quarter.

The revelation will fuel fears that the UK's reputation as a safe place to hold funds is being fatally compromised by the acute crisis in the banking system and a general trend to financial protectionism internationally.

This week, Lloyds became the latest bank to approach the Government for more assistance. A deal was agreed last night for the Government to insure about £260bn of assets in return for a stake of up to 75 per cent in the bank. The slide in sterling – it has shed a quarter of its value since mid-2007 – has been both cause and effect of the run on London, seemingly becoming a self-fulfilling phenomenon. The danger is that the heavy depreciation of the pound could become a rout if confidence completely evaporates.

Colin Ellis, an economist at Daiwa Securities, commented: "The outflow of overseas banks' UK holdings is not surprising – indeed foreign investors in general will still be smarting from the sharp fall in the exchange rate last year, as many UK liabilities are priced in sterling terms. That raises the question of what could possibly tempt overseas investors to return to the UK. Further heavy outflows of funds are probably a given."

The Bank of England said that there had been a large fall in deposits from the United States, Switzerland, offshore centres such as Jersey and the Cayman Islands, and from Russia.

Paranoia that the UK could follow Iceland into effective national insolvency and jibes about "Reykjavik on Thames" will find an unwelcome substantiation in these statistics – which also show that stricken British banks are having to repatriate similar sums back to Britain. This is scant consolation for the authorities, however, as it means the UK and sterling are, like some emerging markets and currencies, suffering from a flight of capital. By contrast some financial centres and currencies – notably the US dollar and the Swiss franc – are enjoying a boost as "safe havens" in a troubled world.

The sudden international trend towards financial deglobalisation and the flight of money to "home" bases has nonetheless been dramatic. The Prime Minister has already warned about this drift to "financial protectionism" – even though UK banks brought back almost $600bn in the last months of 2008, as they attempted to repair fragile balance sheets. Mr Ellis added: "These data are consistent with UK banks reducing their overseas holdings, at the same time as overseas banks scale back their presence in the UK. That is not surprising, given that governments around the world are having to prop up their banking sectors, and in turn demanding that national institutions focus on domestic markets. But it does run the risk of being financial protectionism by the back door."

Investment from the West into developing countries has fallen from the level of about $1 trillion a year seen earlier this decade to about $150bn last year. Economies in eastern Europe such as Hungary and the Baltic republics, some in Asia such as Pakistan and developed nations such as Iceland have been severely hit by the collapse in foreign investment.

Like Iceland, the UK has an unusually large banking sector in relation to her national income, with liabilities four times GDP. Should the UK taxpayer have to assume these debts it will represent, in relation to GDP, about double the national debt the nation bore at the end of the Second World War, a near unsustainable burden.

Right On AC 942! also I believe you are right to plan to be in a small community of like minded people when TSHTF.

saw that article too -
is no surprise but still a sign that we're off down the drain rapidly
just one more sign on the wall

Hi OP, saw the news about your cousin. Hope he makes a speedy recovery.
