Civilizational Disintegration and the Universal State

One of the most conspicuous marks of disintegration…is a phenomenon in the last stage but one of the decline and fall, when a disintegrating civilization purchases a reprieve by submitting to a forcible political unification in a universal state.Arnold Toynbee, A Study of History, Volume IV: The Breakdowns of Civilizations

I’m always the glass is a “half-full” guy, but must be realistic. My gut (as a 70 yr. old w/an MBA) is this…

1. A land-line phone might not be a bad idea. Only use a cell when you must.
2. The internet might not work very well by 2025 or so. But, it will exist.
3. Follow Catherine Austin Fitts dictum to “Make Cash Great Again”. Leave bare minimums in all accounts and add $$$ when you have to pay bills. Using checks, BTW.
4. Go as gray as possible.
5. Sell down to 1 car, if possible. Many of us sole prop LLCs can’t do that, but try.
6. Simply your life. Sell everything you don’t need to survive.
7. If your computer is 6+ yers old, buy a new one. Or two. I am. The 2017 MacBook Pro is wearing out. Mebbe the old 2011 can be repaired and get a new processor installed.
8. Dump any online biz services if possible. I ordered hand written checks, getting rid of IntuitQB, saving $1K/year.

I’m leaving all the obvious about accumulation of Pb, Au & Ag, as well as food stockpiles.

Please add to this list, si vous plait…

We just finished watching Walsh’s “What is a Women?” Nuff said, except for Voltaire’s admonition:

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

Finally got around to that today, was quite sad. Also pretty much everyone here knows everything is collapsing. At least the Africans know what a woman is, we might all have to move there. Gotta take that 1 white chick that understands with us though

Yeah, it is the end, even if takes a few more years or even decades for the bottom.
