Overheard on the porch.

There are days where I find myself surprised in the simplest ways. Today was one of those days. Sitting on the porch watching the mountains eat the sun, I was pondering which direction my next couple of days should be focused on. Suddenly, my dad states "what this world needs is a massive die off. About 95% or so."

Flat footed I am! Yes, I agree that a die off in one form or another would do Mama Terra massive amounts of good. It would lessen if not outright end much of the troubles the world population suffers through. 95% might be on the high side IMO but even so, it has potential for a lot of good.(unless you are in that percentile of dead of course)

ANd yes, its a HARSH statement. Truth usually tends to be rather harsh.

But to hear this from my dad really stopped my thought train. Derailed it actually as I haven't a clue what my thoughts were at that point now.

This I do know. 95% die off would be cataclysmic. Not only would it make one hell of a logistic/health issue, it would also lead to a further die off of the remaining 5% due to emotional issues. Of course that thought is debatable, hell the whole premise is nothing but a debatable point.

BUT, Are we on the verge of a massive die off?

Look deep into Monsanto. Really study up on GMO's and Roundup(tm) and just how the AG business has been railroaded into this mess.

Look DEEP into the Food laws that have been shuttled through our Government over the last 30 years (with increasing frequency).

Look at what Soros has been up to the last few months.

Look at how Bees, simple but highly effective lifeforms, are dying off. Find a list of some of the reasons. (hint: some of them are due to the first objective)

Look at how few people KNOW what is edible outside of a supermarket or fastfood joint. (yuppers, us cro-mags that like to cook with FIRE are gonna be the shit when it hits the fan.)

Look at how few people know how to actually cook, properly, when they don't have a computer controlled oven/stove or microwave oven (or even electricity).

Look at how small a percentage of this population knows how to hunt on even a mediocre scale (and lets not even go into how many know how to butcher out the meat without completely ruining it.)

Other than that garden of storebought (and questionable lineage) seeds, how many have stocked up on the basics? How many have plans to do so? How many even know how to plant a garden let alone successfully plant and maintain one?

Then look at how fuel is being manipulated on a world wide basis by TPTB and try and figure out WHY it is being manipulated and fought over. No conspiracies here, just honest figures that the media suppresses by ignoring the connections. Look closely at how 'cheap fuel' has lead to a revolution of growth that is not sustainable if said fuel becomes scarce.

On a side note, look at how WATER is being hoarded by countries. Water covers most of this planet but there is only so much that is actually able to be used by people, the rest is salinic or poisoned (see first objective and the petroleum industry;just to name a couple)

Things aren't looking good. At least for the majority of people on this planet. Is this going to happen soon. In some eyes, NOT SOON ENOUGH. In others, too soon for comfort.

How does this effect those with our eyes open? Simple. If you are solo, you are going to die.

If you aren't solo, you are probably going to die.

If you are in tribe/group/community etc You may die.
IF you are ready to do what needs to be done, even to the point of defending your efforts from the most pathetic of sad eyes, you MIGHT live. (and I have little doubt as to where I stand in this. I am working on getting into the right position.)

When is all of this going to happen. 2012 is too soon IMO. But then again, as I have said, my desires and reality rarely have a common ground. It may start that soon. Those little gardens I have mentioned in the past, will probably be plowed under in ignorance by some .GOV employee; leaving a small group to die of starvation. At best, it may be confiscated to be 'redistributed', again, leaving a small group to die (so that some lazy couch potato can live another week)

Doom and Gloom? Yup, more than a little. But reality is going to be playing hard and fast with the rules soon. The PTB are seeing to it. The unintended consequences of thier actions are going to trickle down slowly at first to become a torrent of sewage fairly quickly.

I feel for you if you don't see it coming, but not enough feeling to warrant suffering for your lack of planning. Just remember the rule "Lack of planning on your part DOES NOT constitute an emergency on my part." And there is going to have to be more of that hardnosed attitudes to get us through the next decade or two. Cruel? Yeah, but better than the alternatives in my opinion.
