Summer’s End

This is the last long weekend: Summer’s end. This is your last long weekend to make your summers as memorable as they were when you were children! I am going to follow my own advice and head to the Jersey Shore for Labor Day weekend, but I will be coming home early for some last minute Home Depot shopping spree.

A shopping spree for WHAT? Don’t I have everything I need by now? A duct tape and toilet paper run, perhaps. Maybe not. As I type this many of you have also called off your Labor Day plans and are wrapped up in your disaster preparedness and evacuation activities. I live on the Jersey shore so Hurricane Gustav (and Hannah, etc.) will take awhile to affect me personally, but it will. It will affect you even if you live in Minnesota! You will see. We’re in the middle of The Perfect Storm, on SO many levels. I’m out of disaster preparedness money – and by that I mean I’m BROKE.

I’ve been the Survivalist Shopaholic since last autumn. What’s coming down the pike can no longer be prevented, so do I just say “fuck it?” and go into further hock for those solar panels and marine batteries? I might have to, for my own peace of mind, and while I still have a functioning VISA card.

Let me e’splain. When we open for business on Tuesday 2nd September, US banks will be unable to handle business with European, Japanese and other foreign correspondent banks if they are not solvent in accordance with the Basel II standards. Basel II is an international agreement whereby banks agree to manage their risk by keeping X % of their assets in reserve. Unfortunately many, possibly most major U.S. banks are insolvent.

Of course, in accordance with Murphy’s law it’s worse than banks just being “in the red.”  The U.S. financial community, and our government, are in default to their creditors. After a series of reprieves, extensions and betrayals the international community is at wits end. Another extension of the time for U.S. banks to comply is unlikely.

THE BUSH/CLINTON CRIME FAMILY STIFFED THE WORLD

The timing couldn’t be more precious: The fiscal year for the U.S. Government ends on September 30th. How will it be able to fund its operations after October 1st, if no one wants to buy U.S. Government bonds? The only way out of this is to cancel or further delay the Basel II reforms, which is unlikely to happen. Like I’ve said before, it will take a freaking miracle to save this country now.

I’ve been preparing for this moment, both mentally and physically, for about two years. I’ve told everyone whom I love what is coming: The U.S. is literally bankrupt. We are in foreclosure. WE are the collateral, and Repo Man is in town. They don’t believe me. They think I’m worried over nothing, that it’s just a “recession” and that we’ll bounce back. I’m one of the smartest, most well-read and observant people they know and they still don’t believe me, that barring some miracle THIS IS THE BIG ONE . And even though I’m psychic I seem unable to get into their heads and figure out WHAT, exactly, is making them, and everybody around me, so STUPID, as if they were a bunch of zombies or mind-controlled drones.

Do I have to scream it out? OK then, here it is all screamy like:

OUR LABOR AND OUR MORTGAGED PROPERTIES ARE THE COLLATERAL FOR THE BAD DEBTS OF A BUNCH OF CRIMINALS.

Was that screamy and succinct enough? Sigh. Maybe some of you out there in the blogosphere are still awake though, so this one is for you, after the jump.

(Rev 12:7 And there was war in Heaven . . .)

WWIII will be a war like no other as it will be fought in the ether using weapons most of you have never heard of. I hate to break it to you but we are being set up to lose, at least in the short term. Most Americans won’t even know when World War III starts until it’s over. That’s how ZOMBIFIED they are. Since war will be fought with weapons most of the world doesn’t know exists I can hardly blame them, but sweet jumping Christ on a pogo stick I am SO EMBARRASSED for America for being asleep at the wheel.

HERE’S WHAT’S PROBABLY GOING TO HAPPEN

(barring some miracle)

Some horrible, criminal AWFUL thing is going to happen to “cover” for the fact that we’ve been robbed blind.

It will be something that the media can use to blame for our troubles, something that will paralyze us, September 11 style. This trauma will be “necessary” for us to accept our new 1929 Depression lifestyles, possibly under some form of Martial Law if society unravels from it. Thus intellectually and emotionally paralyzed the controlled U.S. media will be able to implant lies into our brains and America just soak them up like little sponges.

Homeland security was doing martial law exercises in Portland, Oregon last week. I’m just sayin.’

I’m asking you to mentally and spiritually resist this rapid unfolding of events, while pragmatically accepting the physical realities. Do you like camping? Have you been taking your disaster preparedness lessons seriously? Don’t believe the U.S. media. Their explanations serve as pretexts for the coming fire sale of U.S. assets (“pennies on the dollar!”) as the whole country goes bankrupt.

(Iraq, 2006)

I’ve narrowed the pretext down to two likely possibilities, which could combine to create the Perfect Storm. Key figures in the financial/government realms are likely to be murdered, gangland-style, while the following events transpire:

1) A hurricane named after a Russian weapon, (Gustav, duh!) possibly seeded and guided to become worse that it would have been if it had left alone, wipes out the entire southeastern coast. They do have the technology, and they’ve done it before. China and Russia both possess state of the art weather warfare technology and resources. It could be blamed for an extreme oil shortage, which in turn could be blamed for our collapsed economy. Blackwater mercenaries are being called up to “handle” this crisis. Remember hurricane Katrina? BLACKWATER IS NOT YOUR FRIEND.

(Just for the record, I’ve been musing over the weird weather patterns over New Jersey ALL WEEK. I even saw an “earthquake cloud” and I don’t even live on a fault line!)

2) An act of electric/electromagnetic sabotage, to be blamed on Bad Vlad and the Russians, or Al Quaeda, or some other boogyman. Whodunnit is actually beside the point, the point being to COVER FOR MASSIVE THEFT. Possibilities: An internet crash, or an enormous data theft that leaves our bank accounts empty. Or planes falling out of the sky after the FAA computers go on the blink. Some sort of technological 9/11 that’s so extreme that thousands of people are wiped out by it.

Hm. “Bad Vlad and the Russians” sounds like a good name for a rock band, doesn’t it? So what do you DO about all this, anyway? Well, it’s a little late now to start preparing for it, so just party down and get drunk or something. Should you Run for the hills? Only if you live in a big city or are in the path of the storm, literally or figuratively speaking. I’d planned THAT trip for mid-October. I hope by then I can still afford the gas.
