Re: Why isn't this forum following it's description?
First of all, you are assuming that the forum is not following its description - in other words it is not useful. To that end I would disagree. It has created a place where people around the entire world can gather information and check out the pulse of what is happening in the world. That is a rather difficult task in itself since there is so much bad information we need to work through. As already noted her, It is my guess that the greatest number of individuals here have family obligations. It is also my guess that only 5% of these are able to convince their entire family of the idea that there really is a need to protect their interests by moving, gathering together like-minded souls. My attempts to get something to happen in Norway have shown that there is a tremendous amount of resistance in the human psyche to move toward the unknown without being forced to do so.
The greatest problem here is that nobody really knows what is going to happen in the future. You are very right, everybody is waiting for a sense of direction and that has not been very clear or easy to know just what is the best thing to do. It is certainly not a good time to sell a house, if you own one.
Maintaining your flexibility is probably one of the best ways to prepare for the unknown. Personally, I am getting rid of what I know I don't need in the near future. I have a fairly large network up and running. I suppose that network is the most valuable asset right now. As long as the Internet is up and running we can all communicate. We know we should be gathering certain things that can help us keep healthy, mms, colodial silver, water filters, food stocks, hunting and fishing equipment. Camping gear, etc.
Besides trying to inform others, the ground crew have to wait until some planes arrive i guess. In the mean time we are watching out for the planes, when they arrive, we will know it. We are ready for that, and we will not be afraid like everybody else - people will ask for advice and we can give advice to them - maybe they will be able to get on their planes, maybe not. That is the best we can do.
There are no real safe places on this planet. The only real safe place is in knowledge.
