I agree it is time to start the revolution and take back our country, we can march to the Government and force them to release the lies and move this country forward. We can do this because the broken monetary system has a fix, it's called a resource based economy, watch the Zeitgeist video!
Mental preparation is the most important place to start. We must find ways to reduce our interaction with this toxic financial system. Grow or raise your food so, like oil, you don't need the dollar to obtain it and that is one less thing you need the dollar for.
I checked out the vid you linked and the vlogger, Greene. Even went to his website to check things out. I must tell you, I am NOT at all impressed by this. He's telling people to change their way of thinking, but what does he do instead, promote the same old bullshit, namely global capitalist markets. Global capitalist markets are the f*cking root of the problem, including the ongoing wars, so this is not NEW thinking at all. He's articulate, but full of shit, if you ask me.
Glad to hear you're leg is getting better. One vid per week sounds ok to me. I'm doing the same thing, essentially. I know, we all try to see the glass half full, rather than half empty, trying to put a positive spin on things. It's psychological survival mechanism. But recognize, we, the REGULAR people, are irrelevant to the global financial elite + multinational corporations. They have no loyality or ethics, period, except never-ending profits + greed. To them, we ARE disposable.
I was out of a job 2 1/2 yrs so, we just got rid of alot & live basic which is all we need. I have a lower paying job now which is not very stable but, I'm using all I bring home to stock up & completely get out of debt. If we lose our home, no big deal. A house means nothing to me. It's just somewhere to lay your head & put your stuff in. I just feel for the ones that still believe junk is that important. My sanity is the most important to me.
If I'm listening to someone in person, I'll ask for clarification on things that I don't understand. This helps identify those who operate under the "If you can't dazzle 'em with diamonds, baffle 'em with bullsh!t" principle...
Internet listening is so much easier; facts can be checked in the background...
I remember more than I show. It may seem like I'm not paying attention, but I can still retain the essence of things, and I remember the most important things down to the small details. I just withhold a lot of things.
i have a higher paying job, a bigger apartment and a shorter commute than i did before the economic collapse. the reason being is that i don't have a wife, kids, or a car. less is more, more or less.
Eventually we will have equality where life is not controlled by the few. The real hope is that we will replace greed and materialism with necessity, education and community.
Life is meant to be experienced without someone holding out their hand and giving you the shakedown. Wishing you a great week CV 8O)
Also very important to point out to those of us programmed to blame ourselves, and to assume responsibility for everything. This is one of the first things you learn in business...assume responsibility. But in this case, people's efforts have literally been harvested, their savings and their investments. BTW....I watch Chris's channel all the time. Good people. And he is heading down the right path.
.
We need more practical answers...grow food, drive an EV, don't put money in banks, barter.
You are not your job, you are not your mortgage or new car, you are not the contents of your wallet, you are not your IKEA furniture or dust ruffles or duvet, you are not your khaki pants......QUOTE....Tyler derden,,fight club
I'm a student, and during the collapse I invested in silver and gold, and I have yet to sell any...I have a decent job, just until I graduate..I consider myself to be well off financially, but I know tons of people who are really hurting, selling their ipod to pay the rent for example..
I hate to stereotype but its quite refreshing to see a young woman show some interest in the state of the world. If you were single I'd hook you up with Mr Greene. Your offspring would probably end up President.
(3) Jesus said, "If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty."
there is no revolution for America. it is being broken down by design economic wise as well as geographicly, things are about to be shaken up, literally. to those looking to be independent and those just graduating, i would STRONGLY suggest a life Elsewhere...Brazil looks to be ripe with opportunity, especially those coming from america with american dollars.
@ThousandairesClub Sadly, this may be true. I look at the Monterey/ Carmel area of CA for signs of times to come. The retired class will not reinvest in old workers-- and they are very myopic in their vision. Service workers are seen as an entitlement to their class' service to the system. American will become the land designed for the elite's security and a vacation land for their pleasure. Now, if they can only get the working class to pay for more golf courses to before TSHTF.
Concentration can be tied directly to the fluoride in our water and toothpaste. It's a by product of aluminum production. So toxic is it that the EPA will not let it be disposed of in landfills. So... They dispose of it in rat poison and (wait for it) YOUR TOOTHPASTE! USE BAKING SODA. Fluoride's original intent was to prevent tooth decay (which in children ends by age 10), why then do adults need to consume it, bathe in it. and wash things in it? Nothing is disposable. Not even poison.
AGREED! YOUR WEALTH! POSSESSIONS! ECT! DOES NOT DEFINE WHAT MAKES YOU! WHY DO WE ALWAYS LONG FOR THE GOOD OL DAYS? BECAUSE SIMPLER IS PROVEN BETTER! GODBLESS AND GODSPEED YOUR HEALING!
Let see I'm 54 and for the last year and a couple months i have been living in a 20ft camper parked on my sons place / i was out of work for 20mo and now working and looking to get 2 acre (unrestricted) and put my camper on it and start over
I agree with you 100% about people having short memories. Our politicians have learned that they can do anything they want for 90% of their term, then give us a little something, like a stimulus, reduced gas prices, or some road repairs in the weeks leading up to the election and be a shoe-in for re-election. The general public remembers the last big headline, and forgets everything prior to that headline (unless it happened on a TV show, then they remember every detail).
Yep! You gotta roll with the punches babe! Most people are still stuck in their own ruts. They need to think hard about their options to make changes. Not only about how they live, but also about what has changed in the business/working world on what now works (that didn't before) and what now doesn't work. Keep the faith luv!
Understandable! I'm old enough to remember five HORRENDOUS recessions. Studying abroad a little and then moving to France in '94 (to get healthcare, mostly) was a real eye-opener. People still had clothes and furniture from the '70s! Why? Nothing gets thrown out. It gets worn out and then often REHABBED and given to a needy family member. There are "rétouches" shops in EVERY town to fix your clothes. And so on. The short memories of Americans continue to disturb me. THANK YOU.
We need to change Our Society like that we don't live pay check to check. The Indians lived in community We need to change our values. A world of love where humans help eachother were crime, hunger, homelessness would be a thing of the past...
good points. modern life is a trap that we have all been coerced into, the sinister powers that be have made us so dependant on technology, credit traps (including getting as many of us into as much personal debt, that we become slaves to banks) that we forget we are human, and become, automatons, that just live to pay bills and debts. its crazy how dependant on cell phones, cars, computors, televisions, etc when we forget our phone we feel out of touch, when we were fine before we ever had one.
great video. mental preparness is very important.. and talking to others about these things is a great challenge also, but important so you are not surrounded by idiots when something happens.
We have been very fortunate in the past 3 years or so. My wife got a promotion last year and each year I've had a "average" raise at my work. Our philosophy has changed tremendously though. We learned to coupon and not buy things we don't "need", or at least not often. I'm reminded of Darius Rucker's song "Alright". Look up the lyrics. Fantastic message for us in this day 'n age.
what motivates a People to rise up with arms to end a treasonous gov't..? hunger, 55 degrees in your home in the winter, no job, no viable future, just existence.. those are the things that make a People rise up and say NO MORE.. sometimes that message needs to be delivered from the end of a gun.. or, we bend over the table and take it somemore..
@slobomotion The long term situation looks much more dire now. This isn't just a recession. But, I agree, as long as people are camping out overnight in some Walmart parking lot, in order to trample over each other because they get 50% off on a flat screen tv, you can pretty much forget about any type of revolutionary movement happening in the US. Good to hear you got out while you were still young enough to make such a change. France has it's own problems, but at least still a safety net
@55ella2007k There's no safety net for me here except my own personal savings. I've been saving 20 USD/wk (equiv) since 1978, even while unemployed and homeless. France is bankrupt. I still haven't been paid for my 3 lectureships last semester! L'Education nationale seems to be out of money; hence, perhaps, the Libya money grab. I'm going to forward you an amazing clip! Hey, I'd rather go down the drain in Paris any old day, y'know? US soc sec owes me a huge back disability benefit.
@slobomotion Excuse me? The rest of you will be around longer? I highly doubt that because you have NO WEAPONS! We do, and we havent even started to fight yet friend! You obviously have NO IDEA of the Americans' sense of self preservation and our incredible ability to overcome ANY obstacles placed in Our Way! Glad you love your negative energy, but I aint buyin'! Peace out!
@AZRacer2000 Um . . . I am American . . . Just because I was smart enough and capable enough to move to Paris in 1994, don't assume I am not American, okay? What France spends on military is horrible, and the gun lobby is very powerful over here. (It's hilarious, these people shoot and kill each other all the time, I shouldn't laugh but we all do, it is a national joke.) It is really sad the way Americans still think they have any power, any say. I am Amish-type, btw.
You are created in the image of YHVH to be a blessing to everyone around you. May you continue to be a blessing to others, no matter the external circumstances of life.
Great to see you buddy! I can't really say that I'm living better or worse since the crises started. I have a habit of living "Bare minimum" all the time and I don't have any credit or debt, so I haven't noticed much besides an increase in basic prices. In regards to what you said about "Disposable" society, I've been researching a way to use solar pyrolysis to recycle old plastic into usable oil. Peace!
I can't imagine anyone working for wages who would vote Republican. It's like licking your master's boots. We need a third and fourth political party IMO.
I feel the same way and you are right. It seems that things are getting harder to pay for, and more out of control than ever, if i make it through this year and get out of debt and save save save there is gowing to be some changes in my life to. And thirs somthing else i like hearing whats on your mind to and thank you.
You are not your job, you are not your mortgage or new car, you are not the contents of your wallet, you are not your IKEA furniture or dust ruffles or duvet, you are not your khaki pants.
What can you do? Look at the people in the mid east, thats what it will come down to anyway. As long as people look to others to put their own interest in charge to better THEIR own situation then it will never get better.
Your right on.People don't care about the real life thing that are going on jest what they are told to think about.Did you know their was a oil leak last week in the place that the BP shit leaked.
I unsubbed Green, got sick of his regurgitated rhetoric and website promotion. Its like hes a spokesman for a business not a REAL person like... you for example.
Anyway, You are so correct!
The only solution for awake people, is to OPT OUT of EVERYTHING and thrive as an individual. In the meantime, calling bullshyt on all the corruption and lies when we see it as we all have been doing.
I feel like I'm on the Titanic seconds after the berg! This Idiot wants us to rearrange the deck chairs. I haven't been out of work this long since I was a kid!
@davids11131113 I'm getting ready to plant. I still have over 70 qts from last summer. I closed out my one retirement that I could and converted it to silver. I've made 30+% since Dec. I've got my survivalist equipment because I've always been that way. I'm heavily armed. The only thing I'm lacking is a good bow.
I also contact my governing people at least50 times a week. Usually a lot more.
@1eyednewt This is just terrific. If no one writes letters and lick stamps, asking for face to face meetings or at least phone calls, I don't have time for them.
@slobomotion City Hall and council meetings seem to be effective. They can't ignore you, and can't get away. Their is something to be said about eye to eye contact and let them see and feel the anger. GRRRRRR.......
@1eyednewt If only folks woud pul together and live collectively, sharing the responsibilities of food production via farm and animals. Imagine a life of hard work with awesome, organic food as a result, in addition to some good times creating our own art and music in our small communities.
@GOTTshua I've been sharing what I have for surplus veggies with my neighbors for well over 10 years now. This summer about 70% of my back yard will be garden. Fresh organic produce reaps it's rewards in many ways. I get leaves and compost from 4 neighbors. One usually has my driveway plowed before I can get to it. A good hood to live in!
@1eyednewt That's the ideal way to live. That reminds me of where I grew up in the USA, and that's still how people live out in Brittany, France, where my husband's parents are retired, but it's very rural and there are few actual "neighbors." Almost everyone has a "potager," however, a garden, and it tends to keep 'em spry, those who do it. Too bad about their binge drinking and lifetime drivers' licenses -- the roads are terrifying!
@slobomotion I'm sorry to hear that. Although I still bitch at the toadies in DC and my state, I've began putting a major effort with the city council. Like I told them last Monday "what good is a new playground if it's to toxic to play in"! I'm 300 miles from Canada and I've seen the effects of corexit. We had 1 foot of rain and when my garden dried out my plants were coated with white shit. I took 1 councilman back there and showed him. I was pissed and think I was scaring him.
@1eyednewt My relative was a survivor of the Titanic disaster; you can read a compelling story written about his experience. You don't have to read it-- I have, and that's all that is important to me. I may be a survivor today for understanding what my ancestors went through in much harder times than these (trust me).
His name was Archibald Gracie. You can google him. Let his character and selflessness not be forgotten.
@carefulcarpenter interesting. Yes, my parents had a very rough time, too. As far as selflessness goes, I think that those Japanese nuclear workers should receive some recognition.
@1eyednewt Dang dude , do what I did when I lost my job..buy a mailing list of millionairs /It has thier addresses right on the list.Then catch them going into the house put a gun to they head and go in and rob them..Many now days have a safe with gold and silver.they are always willing to open it for you ,lol.Who needs a job,I make out like a bandit ,hahahahahaha

(It's hilarious, these people shoot and kill each other all the time, I shouldn't laugh but we all do, it is a national joke.) It is really sad the way Americans still think they have any power, any say. I am Amish-type, btw.

You are created in the image of YHVH to be a blessing to everyone around you. May you continue to be a blessing to others, no matter the external circumstances of life.

Great to see you buddy! I can't really say that I'm living better or worse since the crises started. I have a habit of living "Bare minimum" all the time and I don't have any credit or debt, so I haven't noticed much besides an increase in basic prices. In regards to what you said about "Disposable" society, I've been researching a way to use solar pyrolysis to recycle old plastic into usable oil. Peace!

I can't imagine anyone working for wages who would vote Republican. It's like licking your master's boots. We need a third and fourth political party IMO.

What can you do? Look at the people in the mid east, thats what it will come down to anyway. As long as people look to others to put their own interest in charge to better THEIR own situation then it will never get better.

Your right on.People don't care about the real life thing that are going on jest what they are told to think about.Did you know their was a oil leak last week in the place that the BP shit leaked.

I unsubbed Green, got sick of his regurgitated rhetoric and website promotion. Its like hes a spokesman for a business not a REAL person like... you for example.
Anyway, You are so correct!
The only solution for awake people, is to OPT OUT of EVERYTHING and thrive as an individual. In the meantime, calling bullshyt on all the corruption and lies when we see it as we all have been doing.

@1eyednewt So what are you doing about it?
davids11131113 10 months ago
@davids11131113 I'm getting ready to plant. I still have over 70 qts from last summer. I closed out my one retirement that I could and converted it to silver. I've made 30+% since Dec. I've got my survivalist equipment because I've always been that way. I'm heavily armed. The only thing I'm lacking is a good bow.
I also contact my governing people at least50 times a week. Usually a lot more.

@1eyednewt This is just terrific. If no one writes letters and lick stamps, asking for face to face meetings or at least phone calls, I don't have time for them.
slobomotion 10 months ago
@slobomotion City Hall and council meetings seem to be effective. They can't ignore you, and can't get away. Their is something to be said about eye to eye contact and let them see and feel the anger. GRRRRRR.......
1eyednewt 10 months ago
@1eyednewt Yeah, that is okay, too. I prefer face to face because I am in France now and the language is tricky.

@1eyednewt If only folks woud pul together and live collectively, sharing the responsibilities of food production via farm and animals. Imagine a life of hard work with awesome, organic food as a result, in addition to some good times creating our own art and music in our small communities.

@GOTTshua I've been sharing what I have for surplus veggies with my neighbors for well over 10 years now. This summer about 70% of my back yard will be garden. Fresh organic produce reaps it's rewards in many ways. I get leaves and compost from 4 neighbors. One usually has my driveway plowed before I can get to it. A good hood to live in!
1eyednewt 10 months ago
@1eyednewt That's the ideal way to live. That reminds me of where I grew up in the USA, and that's still how people live out in Brittany, France, where my husband's parents are retired, but it's very rural and there are few actual "neighbors." Almost everyone has a "potager," however, a garden, and it tends to keep 'em spry, those who do it. Too bad about their binge drinking and lifetime drivers' licenses -- the roads are terrifying!

slobomotion 10 months ago
@slobomotion I'm sorry to hear that. Although I still bitch at the toadies in DC and my state, I've began putting a major effort with the city council. Like I told them last Monday "what good is a new playground if it's to toxic to play in"! I'm 300 miles from Canada and I've seen the effects of corexit. We had 1 foot of rain and when my garden dried out my plants were coated with white shit. I took 1 councilman back there and showed him. I was pissed and think I was scaring him.

@1eyednewt My relative was a survivor of the Titanic disaster; you can read a compelling story written about his experience. You don't have to read it-- I have, and that's all that is important to me. I may be a survivor today for understanding what my ancestors went through in much harder times than these (trust me).
His name was Archibald Gracie. You can google him. Let his character and selflessness not be forgotten.

@carefulcarpenter interesting. Yes, my parents had a very rough time, too. As far as selflessness goes, I think that those Japanese nuclear workers should receive some recognition.
