Aloha Waterman,

It saddens me to read your message. I've not been here much due to getting ready and prepping for self-reliance. My major issue has been how to get on without electricity. I just read today on Drudge where N. Korea is threatening to send a missile to Hawaii!

Japan warns that North Korea may fire missile at U.S. on Independence Day

Needless to say my focus has been more on future solar activity which also may start in the fall and wasn't thinking along the lines of what NK may do. Please feel free to drop by and share info you think we should stay on top of.

As for B&K? It is sad that they choose not to participate. However, I'm here because of the info which is far more credible then what I've found at a number of other sites. Those who post are for the most part civil which also is a plus.

I also think the major reason for decrease membership (which I've noticed at a number of forums) is that folks are gearing up for a major shift in consciousness - I call it waking up and taking a good look around at what is really happening. There are many who are just too stunned to sort it all out and this is a time of confusion while still wishing to cling to the way things used to be. We now have a fascist government where government owns big business, the economy is exceptionally frightening, prices are creeping up at the gas pumps, jobs are going by the wayside with 10 percent unemployment and those who do have jobs are worried as well. Many are losing homes and attempting to sort out what to do with their life. This drop in membership participation may have started for specific reasons - yet the real reason is folks are looking inward, busy and into a survival mode.

All of our extra time is into projects - planting trees, gardens, gathering materials to survive what is coming up and dealing with off the wall folks who are still trying to live life within the old model. It's not working. Yet, we are busier then ever. Rarely is there free time to just sit here at the computer like I used to do last year. There is just too much to do and a sense that there isn't much time to get it all done.

However, I'm also noticing a major shift toward health, consciousness and spirituality as well. All of this is also very time consuming. Going inward for some deep self-examination seems to be the upcoming trend.

I do understand your frustrations and time commitments. Please keep in mind that public services comes in all types of forms. Even some of the moderators see what they do as being of benefit to those who seek information. They also give selflessly of their time to the forum and to many others who are in their lives. Being kind to one another seems to work as one option when given so many emotional choices to choose from. I suspect many of your posts are also out of the goodness of your heart in an attempt to help us understand what is happening around us so we can better prepare for the times ahead and I for one truly appreciate what you offer and it was your information that spurred me on to get projects completed sooner then later. Truly, thank you.
