More and more signs

Since my last post, more and more signs are emerging, pointing to the harsh future that we are heading for. Currency wars are waging, countries like Russia and China have already begun experimenting with limiting of exports. Europe is in trouble with Ireland and Greece as the most prominent and immediate examples of countries that are so far gone that a default on their loans and its consequences are near. USA has begun its second round of quantitative easing, proving that the people in power are ever more clueless than before. This QE2 has stirred up a lot of insecurity and dismay from countries all over the world.

The response from governmental entities or the media are still shining with their absence and we are no way near a solution to our problems. On the contrary, the issues are stacking up and the situation becomes increasingly unstable. It wont take much now to push the situation over the edge, plunging us into unknown territory.

I have never had much hope that the situation will be resolved, and at this point even less. I had however hoped that there would be more of those that managed to opened their eyes, before it is too late. As pointed out by Chris Martenson, the International Energy Agency has for the first time pointed out that peak oil is happening and has in fact already happened. Somehow though, media such as the New York Times managed to repress the harsh facts of the IEA article and instead present an article themselves that looked more like the script for a press conference by an oil company rather than an investigative article from a respected (not any more) news paper. So its pretty clear that no matter however overwhelming the evidence of the coming crisis exists out there, not even when coming from governmental entities, it will never reach the public through politics or media.

Every day I think of new implications of what it means to be among the very few of those that have bothered to take this seriously and prepare. I see a future where, society finally realizes what is going on, they are going to blame politicians and who ever else that feels comfortable to blame and say that information of this did not exist, when it is in fact their own fault that they were to careless to find out more about it themselves. I see a future where relatives and friends will be in need of a piece of the provisions that I have carefully conserved, and how can I deny them? Provisions that would have lasted me and my closest for years would end up running out in mere months. I imagine how insecure the world will be when the law of the jungle and a situation of "every man for himself," "survival of the fittest" and "kill or be killed" arises. How I will have to fight for and protect what I have or possibly die trying. It makes me wonder, is there any point to it all?
