Try and imagine the world around if the beer and cheeseburgers stopped flowing- oh, and the ATM's stopped spitting out federal reserve notes. More and more people are rationally looking at the facts, and must face the mathematical probability of such scenarios.

farrell makes no mention of the federal reserve. other than that, it's as bad as it looks.

it will indeed be anarchy. it's always anarchy. we suffer the pretense of order imposed upon a hobbesian boogeyman: fighting what isn't there with what we don't have. and the road is coming to its end. and when everybody wakes up, it'll still be anarchy, because that's the way it was designed.

I see it, and have been looking at it for years now. It's kind of a little game now, to explain it simply, and watch the reaction. I'm still amazed to watch people pooh-pooh it and glaze over. But what the hell.

Those "happy insiders" on their farms will not be so happy once the collapse happens. People will finally realize who stole their very lives from them, then it will be GAME ON. I predict the rope industry will see an unprecedented rise in sales.

Some advice for those on the farms and elsewhere:

"And when the barbarians do come, firing "a few rounds over the approaching brigands' heads would probably be a compelling persuader that there are easier farms to pillage.""

No. Firing a few rounds over their heads tells them that you can not hit what you aimed at. It only encourages them to believe that they will prevail at little or no cost to themselves while it reveals your position, rendering you susceptible to counter-fire. It also tells them that you have excess rounds to waste that can be put to better use by them.

No warning shots. Starting with the leaders, aim and hit what you aimed at. One shot, one kill is a very efficient and effective deterrent and prevents the problem from shifting to your neighbors.
