Interesting.

No, I didn't get to much.  I am about to go on to bed, so I won't be doing anything today.  Some days that is just the way it goes.

I have been watching the world economy, and bits here and there.  Apple Inc. dropped 7%.  Sales in China rose, just not nearly enough.  I do believe they thought they would self-fulfill each other's prophecy.  If not the way they planned, I think they will.  Actually, that is what is going wrong with much of the world financials.  Aside from the war of economic attrition, governments and companies got big enough that they believed they could simply recreate economic reality.  Angels, demons, nephilim, and many men have tried this before.  It would be like building something so large that it creates it's own weather patterns.  The thing is, that only lasts as long as the structure stands.  Something that large, economic, political, social, or physical, is a beast to maintain long, and will always fail.  That is what you are seeing.

How soon, how fast, how hard, those are the questions.  Not if.  It isn't about them, or us, or you, or me, or... it's everybody.  We bought into it because it... was easy.  The low guys on the totem pole, at least the ones with something worth taking, have been hit first.  Governments and businesses are sucking the middle class dry trying to stave off reality.  The rich are getting richer, but that money, even that gold, won't do them a bit of good.  Properties are going to, in the end, cost more than they could possibly provide.  Who cares if you have a $billion in a dozen, hundred, thousand properties if no one can afford them, if you lose money just maintaining them and paying taxes?

As I have suggested, in the end, the lower middle class will be least affected.  It will be the truly rich who realize they have lost everything, relatively.  The very poor will be hurt, they depend on every strata above them, and right as those upper spheres of wealth are going dry, they have also lost patience with parasites.  Which might even include me.  When the mob comes, it doesn't think all that well... something about the weakest link.  And... I do have a way with the crowd.  *wink*

I really need to figure a few things out, crack down on amping up, and figure a way out.  I had thought two to three years before I really needed to go.  I think I need to crack on that.  Ready or not, I need to get ready to split as soon as possible, and be willing to pull out quickly.  I don't have a bugout location, though it may not be as much about that as I had thought anyway.  Politics is vying as a chief danger.  Yeah, I best get some things arranged, and be ready.  It's a tricky thing.  The time may be approaching much more quickly than anticipated.

I can't swear Alaska is the place, or where else.  I will use Alaska as a term for getting out though, for now, and probably until I do go, wherever it is I end up.  Good night.
