Many people have asked me where they should go to survive the end of the oil age. People asking this question generally fall into one of two groups, those who believe that civilization will disintegrate into lawless chaos....

I've long thought that survivalists WANT the world to go to hell, to be able to indulge their own fantasies of anarchy. These are not people you would want to invite to your next town hall meeting - they're not hoping to keep society going, in other words. Better if we all pull together, and make things really WORK, I'd reckon.

As I pass from this plane I go in the knowledge that the "idiot powers that think they are" will have to do their own work, because the slave labor is "enlightened and gone" ROFLMAO.....

We hsve enough wind, solar, geothermal and tidal - in fact, enough in each separately, for all our needs.

We need vehicles for emergencies - fire, police, medical. The rest we can use other means of transport.

Or maybe i am a turnip because i trusted our gov't and ate GMO food, various other "everyday" toxins, a little lead with a side of mercury , throw in 4-6 hours a day of tv and a toxic cell phone. But i don't feel bad because humanity is evovling technologically, does not mattter that there is more murder, rape and violence than ever, that many people treat each other like shit and no one seems to notice. "our Gov't is fucking us in full view, but we are some how still in denial.Why would i learn about surviving just in case now, why would I, im an american? WAKE UP!!!!!!

With HAARP, there is no place safe in the world. And, there is something bad put next to many places special in the world, to destroy and despoil them. It makes me sick. Survival will be difficult at best for most of us. Noted, thank you Elizabeth Anne.
