After The Gold Rush
I'm as astounded and amazed as everybody else at the speed which our society is being transformed these days. When the criminals stole the country in 2000 and especially when they pulled off 9/11, I realized immediately that the manipulative forces were going for the gusto, balls to the wall and pedal to the metal to fulfill the age old dream of total control. Now that the endgame is here and our economic system is collapsing by design in front of our eyes, I'm pondering what we'll be experiencing in the very near future.
It's hard to say what our brutal authoritarian forces have planned as all this unfolds. The bloated and unsustainable american existence could just be allowed to disintegrate into chaos with them moving in to mop up the mess, or they could try to manipulate the stages of turmoil as it all goes down. But there's one thing we always need to remember and that is that the criminals who stole our country are revolutionary usurpers, determined to destroy the established political and economic status quo and replace it with their New World Order.
With them in complete control.
I'm making it a point to chat up the people who are best positioned to experience the fast moving changes. You know - counter personnel, secretaries, checkers, workers who come in contact with lots of people and can spot trends. I've got ulterior motives to piece together the sociopolitical and economic pieces of the puzzle, but believe me, everyone is concerned and worried about what's going on and wants to talk about it. We simply won't get the truth from the despicable MSM. You'll get a much better sense of what's going on from everyday folks who invariably have stories to tell.
And as a side note, 100% of everybody I've talked to fucking despise Bush.
*Some people still drive like frantic assholes. I chalk this up to two factors - a lot of them just haven't gotten the message yet that our car culture has changed forever and drive like ignorant maniacs. The rest are ulcerated worriers who sense something is desperately wrong and drive with frenzied distress. Look for road rage to flare out of control as people snap.

*Acquaintances at a local insurance company tell me people are parking their bigger rigs and have reinstated policies for smaller vehicles. I put my 40 mpg motorcycle back on the road. I've seen a lot less traffic in my neck of the woods, but not any increase in pedestrians or people at bus stops yet. A few more bikes.
409
*The gas stations in my community are raising prices every single day. A friend who pumps gas tells me virtually no one is paying cash. Again I suspect two reasons - people have psychological difficulty forking over twice as much in real money as they spent just a short while ago. And a lot of people are using credit because they're flat broke but have to drive.
An interesting tidbit from an auto parts store - they were completely out of locking gas caps and were back ordered for 6 weeks. I'd suggest getting your'n soon as can be.
Little GTO
*We really haven't seen reverberations ripple through the economic system yet. The biggest problem that we'll see very soon is the food supply. Whether by design or a perfect storm of a cosmic joke the availability of food will quickly become crucial later this summer and into fall. Weather in the farm belt has destroyed crops. We've already seen rice shortages, wait until the wheat blight hits home. Soaring gas and diesel prices absolutely mean that food is about to get very expensive, and shelves are going to be bare. Famine is a real possibility. The US has no remaing grain reserves.
There will be shortages.
Hey Little Cobra
*Americans seem to have become bovine and docile, willing to accept whatever is handed to them. As the Bushista mafia giddily tore up the constitution and began their mass murder sprees, all the while forcing the people to foot the bill, we yawned and reached for another piece of pizza, scowling because the stupid remote got lost again. In other countries there are riots in the streets over rising food prices, while here we see placid complacency, probably because we aren't close to the bone yet. The fluoride pacification program seems to have been a smashing success, so we no doubt won't mind it a bit when our overlords round complainers up to fill the already crowded prison system with slave labor. Responses to any, um, discontent are already prepared.

*As the dollar becomes completely worthless we'll see barter and trade become normal ways of exchange. After all it wasn't too long ago when the dentist who yanked your tooth got a few chickens for his efforts. I shall be Toilet Paper King Of The World.
Shut Down
*In my opinion by far the biggest impact of this onrushing collapse will be the uprooting and dislocation of rural america. We will see mass migration into population centers that will dwarf the dust bowl years.
While we could the Mrs and I took wide ranging vacations all over the western US. We passed through hundreds of small towns from Montana to New Mexico to California. Now a lot of those places could conceivably become self sustainable to a degree. But I'm guessing the majority of those communities will dry up and blow away due to remoteness or severe climate or elevation. When power shortages turn off the air conditioning in the desert southwest, millions will flee. Because of cheap fuel it was possible for places to truck in all their necessities, even to communities on the high plains that can't grow a single food item, but that ain't gonna continue. Thousands of small settlements will be abandoned as they get stranded. I'm just wondering what all those people are going to do.
What do you see coming?

Don't know if you read Naomi Klein's great book, The Shock Doctrine, but this post gets to the heart of it.
No I haven't, abi, but I know about it and would like to read it.
