Preparedness for when

We haven't had much rain here, a few dull cool days but yesterday was lovely and today looks the same. Thank god. I needed some sun

Oh, boy. Here's another piece on the subject of negative interest rates, and cashless society:

Interesting article jk0, but she comes across, without wishing to be judgemental of course, and not wanting to offend anyone, but as a litle bit, um, bonkers tbh:

I do like her playlist though:

The Chris Martenson interview is interesting. What's interesting, and I should watch it again maybe, is his casual assumption from the other side of the pond that Europe is stuffed wrt energy supplies. I mean, we knew this was an issue, but the impression I had from a brief listen in is that he regards this as now inevitable.

Wow, really wish I hadn't gone to the Barnhardt page.

Anyroad. Thought I'd mention a book called "The Leftovers"; a tale about what happens after 2% of the world population disappears. There's survivor's guilt, cults, all sorts of strange behaviour and it's a good one for the TEOTWAKI library. Enjoy! Or not

i agree with martenson to a certain extent...but i think we will muddle through on little or no growth(think we are enjoying election promoted growth at the mo) bit like japan was it 90s 0r 00s? unless the needle that pops the bubble is very serious war, yellowstone, massive kaffla....always pays to have a diverse portfolio in terms of fray bentos, gold... prepps....stay safe

This might interest you guys. Remember I speculated that either my emails or financial transactions are monitored by TPTB?

Blogger 'The Slog' has TPTB trolls monitoring his output. Worse than that, they have hacked into his wordpress account, and have revealed this by posting politically correct replies to people's comments before the comments were approved and displayed:

THanks BB..... not got any other of them symptoms ... but will look into it, get my sugar results on friday, paying something off my credit cards everytime i go into town.......read a article on facebook saying that margarine is so bad for you .... that if you leave it out....not even flies will go near it....and has little if any food value.....so naturally came here for a second opinion

I only buy butter or I make my own from cream. I have also stopped using oil apart from olive oil or sesame oil and have gone back to using lard that I get from the local farm

Tropical storm on its way to my area. Water stored, food stored, candles stocked, water purifying system ready, alternative cooking set up ready, solar lamps charged, bob ready. Thank you to all of you and the things I have learned from this forum! It may turn out to be a minor storm here but you never know. The best thing is that I do not have to go out to the stores with the crowds. We have everything we need and it's a great comfort.

Stay safe SIM x

If you have an Aldee nearby, it might be worth popping in on Sunday, this looks really useful:
