Time to catch up a bit. Its been awhile since the last entry and while I have not been writing, I have been thinking. The world is in motion and things are unfolding as they should.. even though some of it is not very nice. Urbansurvival is tracking current show people put on for the people by the PTB. Takeover of countries and culture only work is you have people begging for what you have. In this case, chaos is stirring the pot big time and people want order.. want to get back to their lives, jobs, entertainment. So, it has to get bad enough for people accept a radical change and surrender their permission and power.

In Shanghai, folks are buzzing about the impending new world order. The dollar is trashed and before it is all done, everyone will be clamouring for a replacement. Already, China is .

Some interesting observations from the Great Escape people. Another view on what may happen in 2012. Their observation for collecting intelligence and feeling the thought temperature of the mainstream through gathering movie feedback for their 2012 movie coming out, is pretty interesting idea. On top of collecting email of interested people, it is sending a message and giving more credence to the idea that they may know something we don't.

All in all, I still think 2012 is going to be a cosmic jackpot. For me, I am not doing an all out preparation like some folks are. Maybe that is a mistake..maybe not. But I have had this idea in my head about the place to go for over a decade. Like a big light bulb. I have not yet visited this place, but will be doing so next week. Just got so many doors fly open for this to happen now. We'll see.

More to write about, but I am juggling ten balls in the air. More ideas on 2012 in a bit.

I noticed this terms several times this week in reference to the economy. George on UrbanSurvival.com used in his first paragraph yesterday.

If you Think It's Been Bad So Far...
You ain't seen nothing yet...at least that's what a number of data points seem to be suggesting. This could be the beginning of the 'perfect storm' in economic terms

Even the networkers at NextStep issued a warning to their community on their blog and on their facebook group about the "perfect storm" now forming.

All you have to do is google "Economy Perfect Storm" on google.. and you will get more than you want to read.

Couple of other news sites I have been looking at, Signs of the Times , and great collection of article son the Terminus Site, and the Global Anticipation Bulletin

Big things are about to happen. The s**t is about to hit the fan. But the economic is only the beginning. We are already seeing several instances of weather patterns ( drought) disturbing food production. Expect food prices to rise. Urbansurvival put up an interesting map.

What's that saying? " The trouble with living in interesting time is that you have to live in them"

You can almost expect that every week will unfold new dramatic developments all over the world.

In terms of politics, this just showed up my inbox from one of the groups I am on.

"In case you didn't hear about it on the mainstream media
(which you haven't because they want to keep us asleep), numerous states are currently declaring sovereignty, including:

This week is suppose to be a biggy. Here in China, chinese new year just finished up. Several sources have been beating the drum about the stock markets taking another big slide this week. UrbanSurvival's Wave guru has a crash alert out.

Just to put it in perspective, the spring coming up is likely to be filled with events as the fabric of the current system starts to unravel. Trends Research calls it the Summer of Hell in the US. Several sources peg it as the time when the dollar comes unwound and commodities start to skyrocket. Even as we speak, gold is making a push back up the ladder into the 900's.

Several posts out there identifying US gov activity to setup camp in case of major unrest and civil disturbance. Its old news that a Army division has been redeployed to US soil to manage things. Also appears that some people don't really like what Obama is doing with the torture chambers, and are planning their own party.

The system that runs in the world right now is not sustainable. It has to be reshaped and reformed with different goals. But we won't do it voluntarily. We will go kicking and screaming. The first step is the economy. Shortly behind that, what we have done to the environment will come back to haunt us. Life is not over, but life will be different. It must be.

This week Obama became the 44th president. He talks well and he has captured the imagination of the nation and the world enough to get popular support. However I wonder how much change he will be able to accomplish that the American people will be able to get behind.

A few reasons for my skepticism.
I don't get the sense the he is as stupid or arrogant as the guy to had that spot for the last 8 years. He knows he has some big problems on his plate. However, I also get the distinct sense that he has been "groomed" for the office. Anyone who reaches it must be or they are do not get party support. So, on some things, things that are really not that important to the PTB who backed him, he will try to do the right thing. On other important things, he has a script and agenda he must play out OR he will be placed in situations where he has to go down an unpopular road.

Another reason that I am skeptical is simply that the kind of real change that Americans need to make.. that they REALLY need to make.. will end up being quite unpopular. Its going to be a tough sell to the over shopping, over consuming, over spending, media hypnotized average American. Lots of people will be longing for the good old days of 5000 calories meals, cheap gas, the next American Idol contest. The change that is about to happen will force them to change. Its not going to be pretty.
