Another shot at de-preparing people. First, strip them of whatever "spare" resources they have by stuffing donation boxes. Then, ordering them to give up good jobs (which are hard to come by). We are headed for a financial catastrophe. Not if, when. And the longer they keep putting it off, the worse it will be when it does come. Using astrology, I guess sometime between the late fall of 2014 and early spring 2015 is the collapse. If it doesn't happen then, it will be even worse when it does happen. And now is the time to prepare with gold and/or silver, plenty of emergency lighting supplies complete with batteries (rolling blackouts are more likely with coal plants offline), barter skills, and whatever you plan on using for durable goods. Now is the time to get top quality clothing, so it will still be in good condition and last until the financial system resets or we are captured for final enslavement.
But, if you just keep cutting back your income, you cannot do any of that. You work late, you could get a small handful of silver dimes. You work a Sunday so you miss a boasting session, you could get rechargeable D batteries and a good charger, or a couple of lanterns, for use in rolling blackout situations. But, had you made the boasting session, you would have lost that work. Even one hour of extra work on boasting session night means a couple of CREE LED light bulbs to cut your electricity bill.
Now, would you rather have that extra boasting session (which could be nullified if you masturbated or thought of something against their doctrine at a later time), or a few silver dimes when the dollar becomes toilet paper? Would you rather have a good lantern, 6 rechargeable D batteries (and they do make them in low self discharge), and a good charger--or getting in your pious-sneer hours--when the lights start going out regularly? Yes, people are warning of this and always have been. But the debt based dollar mathematically must become toilet paper--and the longer it takes, the worse it is going to be when it does happen. And now that coal plants are offline, rolling blackouts are going to start being the reality. Never mind a whole grid down from a terror attack or a solar flare--just scarce electricity is enough, or one good snowstorm. Or, when mandatory rationing on electricity becomes reality (permanently or not), is it better to have your home outfitted with LED lights in the middle of a July heatwave? Or, would you rather have the satisfaction of knowing you made your hours last March?
