Could Food Shortages Bring Down Civilization?
2009-05-01 00:25:00 Sent in by Chris: For most of us, the idea that civilization itself could disintegrate probably seems preposterous. Who would not find it hard to think seriously about such a complete departure from what we expect of ordinary life? What evidence could make us heed a warning so dire?and how would we go about responding to ... More About: Environment , Collapse , Food , Civilization , General
The ?Good Side? of Collapsed Global Shipping
2009-04-30 21:53:00 Everyone should know by now that the Baltic Index of container shipments has been down around 97%, a sign of the collapsing global economy.

2009-04-30 03:07:00 I’m far too busy to even try to keep up with the onslaught of news, views, hype and hysteria. Food sales have skyrocketed again and I’m barely keeping my head above water here.

Deadly Flu Virus with Human to Human Transmission Strikes
2009-04-25 07:48:00 Everyone has probably already heard about this, but a new strain of flu virus has struck in Mexico and the United States. I’ll let the article(s) speak for themselves for now, but my very first thought was “this is engineered”. I’ve got no proof of this right now, so just sit on that. The high strangeness ...

Metal Minerals Scarcity ? A Future Reality
2009-04-20 02:46:00 Dear Admin, A serious consequence of energy scarcity is metals scarcity.

You Are Being Lied to About Pirates
2009-04-19 06:23:00 I’ve long known this bit about historical piracy; that they were some of the first free men in an expanding ‘civilized’ world. Rejecting the slave conditions (and servitude) on board Royal Navy ships, they rebelled and created freeholds of men, islands where men were equal regardless of the color of your skin. It may be hundreds ... More About: Environment , Pirates , General , Lied

Farmers Commit Mass Suicide
2009-04-16 05:36:00 This is a shocking story — tens of thousands of farmers are committing suicide due to genetically modified seeds (crop failures), higher and higher prices for seeds and fertilizer (indebtedness) and falling water tables.
