No More Orders
2008-06-07 00:12:00 I need to stop accepting any additional food orders from everybody.

It Could Be True
2008-06-05 02:38:00 ABC News is reporting that Hillary Clinton will drop out of the Presidential race for the Democrat nomination. If this happens and she stays out, there is no chance at all that she will become President (s)elect like I thought.

A Sign Of Things To Come

It?s Speeding Up
2008-05-29 23:40:00 These are some samples of the warnings I’ve been sharing here: climate change and the scientific assessments documenting these facts, is speeding up — way beyond ALL the original assessments and expectations.

Oil Shockwave
2008-05-22 17:11:00 Michael sent me this link, which is pretty interesting. This could be a blueprint for the Cheney junta to take over this country, not at all hard to imagine.

2008-05-22 02:28:00 It would be worthwhile, if I had time, to do a weekly roundup of the latest news that is applicable to the collapse of civilization.

Truth & Climate and The Struggle For Survival
2008-05-18 19:10:00 Prince Charles is saying that £15 billion annually will stop deforestation and some of the worst effects of climate change, but I think not.

Can I Pay For My Food Order With Gold?
2008-05-13 18:23:00 I am receiving inquiries from would-be customers to pay for their orders with gold. This isn’t possible with me, I can’t speak for anybody else, but I’d guess it’s very unlikely.

Regional Disasters Happening Now
2008-05-12 22:32:00 Everyone has probably heard about the China earthquake. Early estimates are 9,000 dead, but this number is expected to rise sharply. Due to the nature of the population density, hospitals and schools, I’d hazard the guess that it will go many, many thousands higher. The Oklahoma tornadoes were terrible too - we’ve had way too many ... More About: Environment , Collapse , Regional , Disasters , General
