Apocalypse Now?

[Essyne]

Hmmm - We have horses, a well (complete with hand pump if needs be), guns, and a garden. I think we'll be okay out here on the farm. But, if worse comes to worse, my cats would make some nice "beef" jerky.

. . . now I'm going to hell. . .  .

How will you pay the piano tuner?

Hopefully the worst is over. I did notice a drop in price during my monthly trip to the petrol station.

Tesco's were offering 10 pence a litre off, but you had to buy 6 million pounds worth of groceries to qualify.

Was that in Tesco's in Harare?

Pennyless more likely

Very possibly that as well, yes...

Best,

The sad reality is that the entire world is quickly slipping into the hands of a wicked and corrupt oligarchy, if not there already.  Think about the systems and institutions that are really running the show.  Private banks are the ones responsible for the instability, the scary part is that they can mathmatically design economic failures such as the Great Depression.  The Federal Reserve pumped up a housing bubble by cutting interest rates, encouraging lenders to offer more and more cheap loans to Americans who couldn't afford them. 

Since the Federal Reserve came into existence in 1913, the American economy has been in the hands of a 12 member board.  There is no governmental oversight of this bank and no access to its records.  That is why Andrew Jackson said “If Congress has a right under the Constitution to issue paper money, it was given them to use by themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or corporations.”  He saw that letting a private business run the money supply was pointless because congress could democratically issue money without paying a greedily high interest rate for using the money.  Look upexecutive order 11110 - https://www.john-f-kennedy.net/executiveorder11110.htm  And people wonder who killed him!

They basically print money out of thin air and say its worth a certain amount.  What is happening right now is inflation - the adding of more paper money into the supply.  To illustrate the effect that has, say that I print 100 dollars and asign a value to each unit.  Then I print another 100 bringing the total to 200, now the value of each unit splits in half.  So each dollar in supply is equally devalued.  It's a scam!  Congress should regulate the money supply as they are entrusted with the responsibility.

This is a very dangerous thing happening, and I dont think anyone or anything will stop the consolidation of power over the whole earth by means of engineered economic catastrophe.
