Gathering today's news

No offense guys, but you're kinda falling into the alarmist trap a lot of those places spew.

The banks/wallstreet really only matter to big corporations, and to the people who are still dumb enough to sink money into the market as a way of "earning more".

The low gas prices right now are being kept artificially low to strangle ISIS and less so, but still Russia, as well as upstart oil producers in the US and canada. This is part of the reason ISIS is now asking for ransoms.

Fundamentally, market boom and bust cycles are more indicative of market health (in that the keynesians are ineffective in their control). A crash is just an opportunity for the market to make extinct companies that are no longer fit to continue living. The most important thing, is not being caught up in the mass suicide that is the market.

I don't see it as alarmist, just something to think about should it happen. This being a survival section people need to see possible threats from all directions. It's staying informed that keeps you alive. What you do with the information is up to the reader. The days news is just information to work with.

A well thought out perspective!

The non-transparency of marketplaces and it's players and agendas - often makes it difficult to see the real picture. Logical deductions are the best we can do to stay informed about what is really going on.

I live in the country, the challenge will be what happens when state government and services disappear and how many "zombies" come out to take what other people have to eat.

Brutus Out

I do not see this as a challenge at all. Pretty much what a lot of us have been preparing for for the last 10 years or so.

Biggest challenge and time consumer will be removing the stinking corpses of the zombies.

And the fact that the Taliban have the poppy market locked up tight in Afghanistan. Follow the money.

My son told me the worst fire fights they got into in Afghanistan was when the opium poppy harvest and transportation season was on,since they were burning the fields and the ragheads did not like that.

Yep, you will get cholera from water that has dead things in it. Why I ask what people will do to clean up their waste.

This aint'good. (The news link)

It would appear Putin wasn't slowed down by the economic sanctions of low oil prices. Or maybe it just pissed him off more?

 

[Just Jim]

Now Obama has moved A10s and 600 troops from the Army Air born into the area.

Only if the dead things already have cholera.

Coastal; Doesn't surprise me at all. Obviously I know your boy was watching his six, and all the others he was with. There is some nefarious bubble gum going on over there.

I've built stuff like that in the past. Problem is if you seal it up too good, there's no way for the heat to get out. Also, something like that, if it rains it'll just fill up the box.

Here's one of my friends showing the construction of the 2m repeater:

mine is a bit different, in that it's for GMRS, and uses two motorola HT600's. I can't find his video on his ammo-can radio, it's similar to mine, and will keep me from having to dig it out.

 

[Just Jim]

Seems our fearless leader is going to ban ARs and ammo. So did ya'll expect that?

And the escalation towards war continues, to hide the economy?

Looks like Saudi lands are going to be given to Iran. Might want to think about fuel storage.

Lots of interesting side news that makes you wonder...

US reserve oil is at max, every tank is full. Seems that would say they are expecting oil interruptions.

A third world nation, city services disappear first. How will you deal with your waste?

This one is not so bad for those willing to use the shovel
That's been done for centuries. Just go back to it till things go totally gone or get fixed.
It is the ones that won't do that that will cause the problem. Then I think people will dig their holes for them, but doubt it will be garbage and waste that go in them.... well I guess you might call them that.
When things go that bad the chaos will make everything unimportant and a crisis at the same time.
Ie ; Just plain _____ UP !
