I...These are indeed "interesting" times.<br /><br />I don't think it's going to be one, big "snap". It's a slow swirl around the toilet bowl. If I had to guess, I'd say another 18 to 24 months.<br /><br />The coming commercial real estate decline (crash?) is going to cripple too many banks. The CIT bankruptcy is the first of many business bank failures. That will lead to more bailouts, more debt and finally, a broken camel's back.<br /><br />THEN the ugly starts. I'm prepping for it to happen sooner, but I'm betting on mid-2011.Chief Instructorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13604561415860237705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569971501728849222.post-88926893923176398472009-11-04T13:38:35.244-08:002009-11-04T13:38:35.244-08:00"I have explained this as not wanting to hang..."I have explained this as not wanting to hang on and have our resources slowly eaten away and we get pulled down to nothing.

And as you I fear a long slow slide into doom. We all best get ready for as many events of doom as we can. And good info on the light and how you can get silhouetted by it. I have a plan to box up my door so you can't see in it from any angle, and I have premade window black-outs that me and my wife made. This way at night we can keep a small light on and it will not be seen outside. I have tested it and it works, and are very easy to make.<br /><br />http://patriotsagainstthenwo.blogspot.com/Pete Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15588515540108012216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569971501728849222.post-67743020623393487422009-11-04T07:59:21.038-08:002009-11-04T07:59:21.038-08:00Michael,
I read the same post on Rawles' site....Michael,<br />I read the same post on Rawles' site. Good and bracing read.<br />My impression was that the author was really emphasizing how important it will be to make yourself a part of whatever group of government or village council forms, because if you don't become part of whatever takes over local government, you are likely to be preyed upon. Your stores will be taken, by force of necessary. So you might as well be a part of the decision-making process.<br /><br />Another thing the author of that post talked about was a very big deal: what if the gangs of looters get a hold of the weapons from a National Guard armory? Man, they'll have a lot of firepower. Thus, it would behoove you to get there first, if there's an armory in your area. But to do that effectively, you really need to join up with your neighbors. Make the group/tribe as inclusive as possible. That's what I got out of it, anyway...Jacob Gitteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10559764359800682222noreply@blogger.com
