At least he realises what I think most people forget and that is that polititians won't help you.

They are as dim witted and clueless about the magnitude of the problem as anyone else.

All you will get from them is short term fixes.

If you want to get through what could be an awful time over the next 10 years you will have to rely on the support of close friends and family or perhaps your local community ... because big government will be useless. In fact goverment may well be worse than useless and actually hinder your chances of surviving.

Decent content but weak delivery. Really could use a redo on the narrative. If your youtube time is limited, I'd give this one a "pass".
Stop filling dumpsters, as much as you possibly can, and everything will get better.

Just think it through.
It's not hard to do.

I liked it. Quite useful, in my opinion. Very "Joe Six Pack".

I blogged it.

This guy knows what's coming. I am not sure I agreed with his energy solution, because I don't think there is an energy solution. But everything else seemed just about how I view things.

Fairly accurate video. Cheers

It's funny that his solution for survival is pretty much excactly what my family and I are doing. Thats all anyone can do i guess.

My biggest beef is it didn't seem to have a common theme throughout. First there was a long rant about the financial system and the incompetence of gov. and then all of a sudden in the last 2 minutes the narrator starts talking about a massive die-off.
For a regular here on PO there's nothing new about that but for J6P on the street that's probably too much to absorb at one time.

You cannot walk up to a newbie and begin by saying, "I think over half the world population will die-off."
People will automatically brand you as a lunatic and flip the little switch inside their head to the off-position no matter how intelligently you debate your position afterwards.
The sheeple needs to be eased in slowly.

my 2 cents

cube,

Right, they can't get their head around it. My experience has been that leading them up to the trough slowly, and giving them a taste produces a retch reflex and they go into denial. They are just screwed, and can't face it.

I guess it's the evolutionary process, the billions of people that are going to die are the "dumb" or "not-the-fittest". The smart people are going to prepare and survive, allowing their DNA to go on and create "smarter" people. Maybe then those "smarter" people can create a better world than the one we live in now.

When the video states that people are still watching "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (Deal or No Deal)" and football and such, it goes back to the 5 Stages of Loss:
1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance
What stage is the human population at now? Kinda seems to me that the majority of the population is at stage 1 still.
I just hope that it's not too late at stage 5...
I'd rather be the killer than the victim.

Could you get another link for the video the user has removed it. I couldn't find another video that resemble it.

Thanks in advance
