“The Associated Press trumpeted, “After two years of recession, Christmas 2010 will go down as the moment when Americans rediscovered how much they like to shop.” ”

The mainstream media never takes a break from its dis/mis/noninformation crusade. Americans may have been shopping but it’s no indicator of better economic times. A crapload of those shoppers purchased via credit cards due to lack of funds. These folks have been broke ass for the last few years and have had to rely on credit for basics like food, gas, medicine, and shelter. They’ve become resigned to fact that they will owe their soul to MC and Visa for the foreseable future and went ahead to the mall and bought a little cheer for the holidays. In addition, retailers may appear to have “racked up” this season but it is also due to 1) sales of less expensive items; and 2) fact stores ordered less inventory so they have less stuff left on the shelves. This is the reality that the media won’t report.

The problem is that almost everyone who claims to be dealing with an upcoming collapse is a right winger, giving them a lot of clout. Urging a big gun and dog and a huge amount of dried ham and eggs lying around, as if some of those buying guns won’t also, if they run out of supples first, eat his dog and steal his supplies. Why shouldn’t someone progressive fill as many water bottles of their own and save seeds for spouting and, if safe, later planting. Tomatoes come with seeds and can be planted everywhere, and potatoes planted around the neighborhood like weeds and when grown, hidden if necessary, even buried back in the ground, like during the middle ages, far better security than a big gun.

See the following link in not seeding so much ground to the right-wing,

Thanks Linh Dinh for mentioning the collapse without being a right-winger or thinking ending the Federal Reserve Bank will save us.

Yes but what about change we can believe in look’s good on paper or on TV? I just need something to believe in and so far it’s when allowed for one and one to be two all else follows. Of course some smart lawyer will say you forgot negative numbers. Yes but; sit down you are out of order.

Thank’s Mary and was just watching CNN and three people all journalists on the payroll of CNN well the one lady said we don’t know what’s going to happen with the economy the next two years so we have to take care of ourselves. Like I said before they brainwashed themselves and still don’t know it. Probably a few year’s ago read how to influence people and win friends and are now institutionalized well aren’t we all sort of. At CNN try some old writers thinkers like Plato, Einstein, Dickens we have to take care of ourselves oh CNN that’s what has been going on for thousand’s of years but this time to keep thinking in that way to take care of ourselves will take on a whole new meaning and why is it so hard for you people to face the truth is there something or someone controlling you mind, thought’s. Use your minds tell the truth you can’t why the savages known as we the people well golly gee try it with out us.

If you go to Linh’s blog the pictures who are those people sleeping on the street how did it happen? In many of his pictures you will see well dressed human’s walking by in a hurry and they don’t even look/see. Does society take out the weak ones? Maybe some stop and say come on you could be a member of society even a CEO, a movie star, a Senator, work on wall street, a solder. It sure look’s like someone is missing a soul and not the people sleeping on the street. A CEO where climate change is a hoax war is peace drill baby drill USA USA USA. A movie star yes that look’s like a lot of fun in never never land well until you have to do commercial’s for the man/CEO to eat. Hay writers a movie just call it Soma then get some more rest from the real World. A Senator oh my in Hollywood central casting, ok I need a lawyer type clean smooth face who is the most arrogant of the 100 bingo you just got the part. Wall Street well combine all the rules and regulations of the Capitalist system along with Hollywood the Senate we are getting warmer. Oh and have my beer flown in from the Caribbean just got my bonus and call my wife we going out tonight and step over a few people you would think they could get that trash off the street’s. A solder hello kid have we got some surprises for you better than being on the street. Better than being on the street a new way of thinking to keep America free and “Elton John Becomes a Dad,” “Air Force Mascot Goes Missing at Game,” “10 Best Celebrity Hair Moments” and “Synchronized Walking Routine.” I get it it all seems so clear now and Elton John I thought he was gay how did he become a dad on second thought I don’t want to know. Dr. Phil do I need help. I watch you sometimes and people listen to you and nod a lot could we call that the land of Nod. I wonder what Dr. Phil’s thought’s are on the issues of our time like the end of the human race as we know it. Can’t say that on TV? It’s early need another cup of coffee.

A young kid the father just left my house crying. The mother just left with the new born for the grandmothers house. I told him to take care of himself I have seen this before. I don’t know if he heard me. They live in the house on the corner or did. Early today the lady who sold me the house we now live in and I think in her sixties who was an RN most of her life came to my door asking for a few dollars. That one I found different as this lady has retirement. About a month ago I always’ walk my dogs in the same place by the GM dealer who has been shut down about four years and a young kid was sleeping on the sidewalk behind the bushes. I went back and gave this kid a few dollars and said get something to eat. The small town I live in South Georgia has four stop light’s and a few people. A local doctor just lost his licence something about prescription drugs. How many people take soma/pain pill’s here a few maybe more than a few.

The collapse will not be televised. Ignored and alone, each of us will experience it singly.

and that even dogs, according our cynical media, got expensive toys this holidays. Not my dog’s but I do talk to them and they turn there heads and look at me. They know there names.
