    Years ago, when we pointed to food riots and civil disorder as the predicted onset of the final collapse of this Civilisation, people felt the warning was unworthy of comment. “Alarmist” or “Apocalyptic”! No. It’s just run-of-the-mill collapse-of-civilisation stuff.

    Hostages Released USA - For Now


    When, instead of trucks not hauling food because of teamster wages strikes, trucks don’t move due to armed hijackings and when food shortages are due to trucks no longer making it safely inter-state, then we will be looking more realistically at the situation facing Mankind.

    As the message sinks in that ‘estimations’ by ‘authorities’ of food price rises of the order of 200 percent, are not simply academic conjecture but genuine attacks upon the ability of the family to put food on the table, shadows will extend across the stage upon which Humanity plays out its trivial games. As politicians and wealthy corporate bosses retreat behind their ‘security perimeters’ the disconnect between wealth and reality will increase. Those who have nothing have nothing to lose.

    In the event, if you are being killed by someone hungry enough to kill you, it actually doesn’t matter at all whether they like or dislike you. If you are being killed by someone hungry enough to kill you, it doesn’t matter whether or not they are killing you as food.

    When people are trying to kill you secretly and stealthily so they won’t have to share you, then the ‘narrative’ of urban dialogue will be measurably more direct than the politely plausible garbage out there today.

    Human nature is such that the survivors actually do not care what it took.

    So people today looking forward to the future should stop pretending they have the capacity to grasp the ethos of people who will prefer not to look back.

    In the context of energy and oil procurement, it was interesting this very day to see some skinny environmentalist complaining that offshore oil exploration will harm the whales. She will fight like a cornered weasel when the time comes and her reviewed estimation will paint the whale as just another maritime flea.

    Let’s get this plain and clear – there will still be nice people and they will still love life. Their focus will be much more immediate though and they will value the simpler and more tangible benefits of family, survival and faith. God will feature prominently in the lives of those who survive. Historically, survivors do not usually credit their own handiwork totally for the fact they are not also dead. “Yea, though we walked in the valley of the shadow of death” . . . “By the rivers of Babylon, where we sat down, we wept”.

    Those who today stagger out of Darkest Africa, and let’s face it, Darkest Africa today is the killing field just down the road, do not boast of their bravery. Survivors give thanks for the fleetness of their feet and ‘small miracles’ by which the fabric of life itself is sweet.

    As you prepare for tomorrow today, prepare to eat your neighbour, his wife, his daughter and others in what will then be your street. Your street will increasingly be the one, in which Humanity walked too far, where only rats can run.

    Western Society is a balancing act. The mechanics of supply and demand are maintained in a false state called ‘economy’. There is enough food and resources in the world for everybody – but not everybody is in control. Does this mean we advocate some form of Communism? No. It must be that there is opposition in all things. It must be that we bring ourselves up to and over the brink of extinction.

    Humanity does not have the mechanisms for climbing back out of the abyss into which we have flung ourselves. This blog holds no advice on how to get out. We simply give a good advance picture of what it looks like in here, in the situation we are in. The World paints no such picture. The World says fishers are greedy for more money, the petro-chemical giants are greedy for more money, the tyrants are greedy for more money and ‘someone’ will ‘negotiate’ an agreement so all the suffering will end and commonsense will prevail.

    Eastern Society is torn. Should they embrace Western Economics or just oppress their vast populations? For now it’s most convenient to blame the West for Eastern woes but it’s plain to be seen – the whites of their eyes. They know. The Eastern mindset lends itself more readily to a realisation that death is anyway inevitable so wisdom lies in looking directly at the real problem – oh yes. Survival.

    What will be the point in your vastly expensive multi-story, palatial home when there is nothing in it for you to eat? What will it be worth when there is no real-estate market? Who will matter to you, if you are alive, after war, civil war, disease and starvation have claimed all the people you ever knew and you remain unlucky enough to survive?

    No. This isn’t pessimistic and not even cynical. Nor is it a description of life on some alien planet.

    The cynics are those who cannot NOT KNOW these things and yet continue. Garnering all their nuts in a tree they know must burn.

    If everybody on Earth simply turned to their neighbour and asked, “How can I help you?” none of this would happen, but that won’t happen because there is no ‘reason’.

    Yet.

    Much later, some will begin to ask. That won’t matter to me and you.

    They always stoned the prophets so this writer, an interesting euphemism, is not expected to endure! heh
