Sliding Downward Still
2008-07-17 18:49:00 Hehehe, no surprise here - U.S. Fails To Measure Up On ‘Human’ Index. One of my elderly customers, who is 91 offered me some advice - eat very little beef or pork. She’s got friends near 100 and that’s their secret they claim. I don’t doubt it, considering all the crap they put into our ... More About: General
Keyhole Gardening
2008-07-17 02:33:00 Spotted this over on Monkeyfister, the keyhole garden. An innovative idea that could help you grow your own food. Some observations: I wonder if you could pry the cellphones and Ipods away from Americans and get a happy level of participation as shown in this video? Somehow, I sort of doubt it. The rusty cans was interesting, ... More About: General , Sustainable Living
Energy Crisis Continues to Expand
2008-07-15 13:43:00 The CIA reports that there are 266 ?nations, dependent areas, and other entities? on the world today.

Open Thread
2008-07-15 00:10:00 I don’t have much to say, the banking failures are just the tip of the iceberg, signs of a civilization gone terribly wrong. More of these to come, that’s for sure. The government proposed bailout of the mortgage lenders is ‘weird’ in my opinion, a real Catch-22 situation. The collapse continues, dominoes fall, all ... More About: General , Thread

One-Third of Gloal Coral Reefs Facing Extinction
2008-07-13 00:35:00 I really wonder what it is going to take to wake this world up from it’s apathy and slumber. Built over millions of years, coral reefs are home to more than 25 percent of marine species, making them the most biologically diverse of marine ecosystems. Coral s produce reefs in shallow tropical and sub-tropical seas and have ... More About: Environment , Collapse , General , Coral Reefs

2008-07-12 04:50:00 Possibly the first of many: IndyMac Bank Seized By Federal Regulators This is what collapse looks like, falling dominoes littering the landscape. The federal government took control of Pasadena-based IndyMac Bank on Friday in what regulators called the second-largest bank failure in U.S. history. Citing a massive run on deposits, regulators shut its main branch three hours early, ... More About: General , Runs

2008-07-11 22:48:00 A true story submitted by Lonewolf, we’ve probably all got friends like this: Today, I received (another) email from a friend of over 30 years basically saying (again) that “Global Warming” is a crock, fraud, hoax, lie, scam - aka utter bullshit.

How Often Do You Feel Like This?

Flying The Unfriendly Skies
2008-07-09 01:57:00 I find this story both hilarious and uplifting: Airline passengers in Florida, incensed that the crew arrives 75 minutes late, heckle the crew and the airline cancels the flight, stranding the passengers. Everyone got a free hotel room - surround by barbed wire! American Airlines Gets A Dish From Paying Customers (I like my title better). More About: General , Flying , Tyranny
Technology Against Us
2008-07-08 03:56:00 I had one of these things hovering over my house the other day. A quick shotgun blast brought it down. I took the remains about 30 miles away and dumped it over a bridge.

Where We?re Really At
2008-07-07 20:44:00 Nice rant by Kunstler - Where We’re At. He’s covered most of the topics, except the serious food crisis underway, shortages of critical metals and the other two biggies, collapsing eco-systems and climate change. It’s way, way more then a double-whammy headed our way, it’s a pummeling by a gang of enraged bullies and all of their ... More About: Collapse , General

2008-07-07 00:42:00 Nice to see some people (women with balls) protest dickwads speech: Protesters Interrupt President Sorry to be so crass, but I can’t believe this talking monkey is still the presidential pretender.

Tearing It Down - Part II
2008-07-06 05:07:00 [This is Part II, please read Part I first - Admin] It is probably accurate to say that everything humans set out to do, is really done solely for their own benefit.

The Religion of Stuff
2008-07-02 03:03:00 This is apparently a new video of Dr. James Hansen, discussing climate change, politics, energy and China.

Living Primitively
2008-07-01 02:27:00 I have long believed after many years of study, that mankind is going to revert back to Stone Age living. This will be the inevitable outcome of the depletion of global energy supplies (oil, coal, nature gas, uranium). Not long ago, I came across a quote (posted here) that pointed out that we have long since ... More About: Living , General , Primitivism
