While it does not seem that way to me, I guess there is a lot more to come. Its been hot, and things are in continuing to unravel on the old paradigm. My signposts are still talking about it. And I bet if I was one of the millions who just lost their house, job, stuff, and could barely eat, I bet I would also feel like the summer of Hell.

The signposts I am tracking.. the matrixgreatescape blog by the folks in Belgium, the guy at urbansurvival, the Trends Newsletters, the outrage being poured out by the writers on OpEdNews are all still pushing the get prepared.. get self sufficient meme. Perhaps it good. However, I have to do this without the support of my wife at this point. She thinks I am acting paranoid.

Just got the Web Bot report from halfpasthuman.com for $10. Very interesting. According to it, the shit is really going to hit the fan from next month on our. About to get our proverbial butts kicked as a species by our own mismanagement, greed, and denial. On top of that environmental issues will get much much bigger as weather patterns change dramatically and food production suffers. Then there is not model space comments about aliens trying to step in and do something. Have to see that.

More in a bit. Perhaps we can get to spot in time to ride it out. Perhaps we will get caughtup in the diaspora. Not so concerned with myself.. more for my wife and boy, who are 2 truly amazing human beings that the world will need them if a few of us make it through this. Need a sign for them to move in that direction with me.

This song was going through my head the last couple days. My sense is that it will be really easy to let ourselves by consumed by the mountains of bad news, the overwhelming work in front of us to make a better and sustainable world in the face of forces that have other things in mind. Its easy to let ourselves get caught up in the negativity.

However, I think a lot of people are coming around. We don't see the good things that are happening on the 6 oclock news. We don't hear how many acts of greed and manipulation have been mitigated by one or two thoughtful souls who did the right thing and made a difference.

More than ever, this period in time is chance for each of us to be hero's in the way we interact with what is right in front of us.

These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all
The way we look to a distant constellation
Thats dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And dont cry baby, dont cry
Dont cry

Reading through UrbanSurvival the other night, he started talking about 2012. He has some great links to a site called Institute for Human Continuity. The folks over there figure with "uncontestable" proof that the world is going to experience some major major disasters that year. They list the possibilities. Everyone who runs is listed by name and picture and with a Dr. in front. You can sign up for their lottery where they will try to save a handful of people if planet X come hurdling by. Hehe, you might think this was some kind of marketing ploy for a movie..hehe

When you get to think about it however, it may not be so far off. I am not sure about Planet X at this point. I am more of the school of... if some major event happens that most of the world's population doesn't make it through, it is probably self created.. meaning one ( or a few) of us, here, on this planet probably pulled the trigger causing the disaster. Much the same as what is happening with the unraveling economy now.

Think about it. Look at the incredibly stupid and unreasonable decisions that have been made in the last decade to get us to this point. If the prez and his staff and the elected reps of Congress, were truly managing the country for the benefit, freedom, and prosperity of the people they govern, they surely would not have taken this route. The decisions that were made were made by people who see no hope for the future. Who have no care for the other citizens of the country, much less of the rest of the world. Everything planned so short sighted.

The point was raised on the UrbanSurvival site that maybe it is because they know something. They have access to all the info, all the science, all the prognosications of what is coming up in the world. They might have seen something that tells them it is OK to do all this. Billion syphoned into black budgets to build out bunkers for the "Continuity of Government".. like they would have anyone to govern if the worst of possible scenarios did happen. I mean, how would you treat 300M people who you expect to be gone in a few years?

Anyway... Check the tlinks or the blogroll on the right. I collected a handful of links to other sites that are active on this subject if you are looking around for who has a used Ark.
