We aren't sure what we believe either. Things have not
unfolded quite like the predictions called for. Gold has not risen, it has fallen defying the law of supply and demand.
The october suprise was nowhere near what it was predicted to be. Were we wrong? Were we foolish?
No, there are people on this forum who are road kill
in the aftermath. I am aware of two families directly.
My suspicion is that we have been pushed out the window and just haven't hit ground...yet. Every day
more folks are laid off. The ripples ever widening.
The best description I have seen is a train wreck in slow motion. What is unfolding will take months, and it will take years to recover from it. James Howard Kunstler called it the Long Emergency. Cliff High predicts it will take generations to recover. ( forty years)
All we know is, three years ago we were building a sailboat with the intention to sail around the world. News at that time prompted an abrupt change of course. Subsequent events have generally supported our decision as a sound one. With minor adjustments, our
life course is set steady as she goes. Our intention is to pay this property off, improve it, sell it and buy one large enough to be Amish self sufficient. That means raising our own feed for our livestock and our own food.
Blending in with a community of plain folk would be good
also. In this fascist environment a low profile is a very good idea. We have also examined emigrating while that is still an option. I am serious as a heart attack. It is not a jest.

The reason for the post was to get a feeling of whether this "movement" if I can call it that for this instance, was largely emotional and knee jerkish or if it was thought out and methodical.

We need your voice and guidance in this forum to help set the tone and direction. Many of the readers are young and there is a need for leadership. I have fielded
several private messages from individuals seeking guidance myself to the best of my ability. The need is there.
Those members who have logged some miles under their
keels need to step up to the plate and tell what they know. The older among us must reach into their memories to the knowledge which helped our ancestors
navigate treacherous times. There is no room for panic.
That is not a luxury we can afford. We need steady hands at the helm.
