Possible Futures In A Changing World

For Non-Believers Everywhere

  • This site is a collation and analysis of various information sources to give a big picture view of the factors behind the 2008-2009 crash and what future possibilities might arise.

    Many "alternative" commentators focus on say Peak Oil, or the Real Estate Crash, or 9/11, or the "New World Order", or Environmental Destruction, or Aliens and Black Ops Technologies. Well I've tried to bring all those threads together, because everything really is connected.

    Are you nuts?? Why mention Aliens? Because in a Universe that for all practical purposes is infinite, it seems just as insane to me to assume that humans are the only intelligent lifeform, as it is to assume that unemployed single Mothers with no jobs, income or assets can afford to pay the mortgages on 3 townhouses.

    Also, if you search through the data, it seems likely there was alien involvement in several ancient civilizations and that doesn't even take into account UFOs, crop circles etc. Hell, we couldn't even build the Great Pyramid with our technology today.

    Anyway, back to life on Earth. If you step back from the media and government propaganda and apply just a small amount of discrimination to what you hear and read, it has to appear more and more like mindless drivel with each passing day. Once you've taken that step, it becomes clear that something has to give.

    Then, if you still think life as we have been fortunate to know and live it in the West for the last 50 or so years can happily roll on, well "you ain't been payin attention!"

    However, you do have to go beneath the surface of the "happy surburban motoring utopia" (although that utopia now has cracks appearing in it that are getting harder and harder to ignore) and ask questions with unpleasant answers, if you really want to understand the "dark side" behind the financial collapse.

    Why should you bother? Well mental and physical preparation is going to make a big difference when the crunch comes.

    However, in reality only a few people are actually willing to take an open minded look and to learn what is happening behind the scenes, because most people have too much invested in believing the status quo will roll on.

    Still, if this blog triggers even just a few to take the step, it's worth the effort.

    My personal agenda changes over time and is a mixture of:

    - Trying to help people to wake up and get themselves ready for BIG changes heading straight towards us down the road of history

    - In doing so, perhaps persuade people to consider whether they could change and who knows, maybe change the course of history.

    - For my own ends, to clarify my understanding about the human race as a whole and what the hell we are doing here.

    - Also, writing this all down helps me to get the ideas clear and stops me driving my wife to distraction.

    P.S. Regarding the human race and our general mixed-up-ness, we really should know better by now, but it does seem that we're really slow learners!

GDP Goes Down The Plughole

Posted by drylightning on March 3, 2009

Economic growth is the answer . . . now what was your question?

Consider the growth projections published on November 25 by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the world’s pre-eminent forecasting institution.

The OECD predicted that in the fourth quarter of 2008:

  • GDP would fall by 2.8 per cent annualised in the US,
  • by 2.1 per cent in Britain and
  • by 1.0 per cent in the eurozone, Germany and Japan.

The actual figures:

  • US GDP fell by 6.2 per cent annualised,
  • Britain by 6 per cent, the eurozone by 6 per cent,
  • Germany by 8.2 per cent and
  • Japan by 12.8 per cent.

We Got your Money!

Posted by drylightning on March 3, 2009

You gotta love this!

As James Kunstler so eloquently says:

The Peak Oil story was never about running out of oil. It was about the collapse of complex systems in a world economy faced by the prospect of no further oil-fueled growth. It was something of a shock to many that the first complex system to fail would be banking, but the process is obvious: no more growth means no more ability to pay interest on credit… end of story, as Tony Soprano used to say.
The last desperate act of the banking system in the face of Peak Oil’s no-more-growth equation was to engineer species of tradable securities that could produce wealth out of thin air rather than productive activity.

This was the alphabet soup of algorithm-derived frauds with vague and confounding names such as credit default swaps (CDSs), collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), structured investment vehicles (SIVs), and, of course, the basic filler, mortgage backed securities. The banking system is now choking to death on these delicacies.”

Making Sense of the Crash

Posted by drylightning on February 22, 2009

Well, it’s time to go live.

So here’s what is on the site so far and what it’s about:

  1. Help you to wake up to the realities of who you really are spiritually and why you’re here.
  2. Outline the realities behind the current global situation, rather than the popular “dreamworld”, and the background on how we got into this position.
  3. Help you understand what might happen on Earth and the preparations you can make to minimize the impact on yourself and your family.
  4. Help you understand how you can make a difference by changing your viewpoint and behavior.
  5. Pass the favor on from me to the people who have helped me to wake up.
