Lcp, welcome back!

I've been wondering how your travels and your daughter's wedding went. Glad to hear everything went well.
I'm greatful you've brought up hyper-inflation. What I'm feeling and probably more importantly, what I'm observing is not only
il-prepardness, but just many not
understanding or
believing how it ends up happening here and what it is exactly.
You're exactly right, even though it may be popular to discuss or lead by example how frugally you're living, the depth or scope of hyper-inflation hasn't been received quite yet because most of us have always had some form of housing, food and clothing within our reach.
The window
is closing. That is what I see. So where it used to be shown to me as a wall (kind of a see through wall with a bright light coming through.) then sliding glass doors, then a wide window, now that window is square. Square is still larger than periscope, so there's time.
The time is to get yourself set up so you're the 3rd little pig, not the first or second one that gets blown to smitherines.
I'm kind of glad this is all recorded somewhere. We've been talking about this for sometime and it's interesting to see how the steps unfold, synchronicities, affirmations, etc.
You're right about the schools and what they are pressing our younger generation to believe. My husband works with 95% highschool grads and college kids. He hears what parents don't and they are being so fired with political agendas, it's more of a socialist type of thing but it's presented hippy style, everyone is happy, no judgements, rainbows, everything is equal, (so that part is great, but...BUT)no talk of inflation or taxes, and they are so convinced their parents are hateful, NOT getting the "bigger" picture and an enemy for not going along with it, that they won't even speak to their parents and highschoolers are threateing to move out. When have you ever heard that based on social and political views?
Hyper inflation, my gosh, my husband tried to explain it to the kids where he works and brought up Ghandi as an intro. The kids were standing around him and they said, we actually know who that is, it's that green flexible guy in the cartoons.
He said, "I can't...I just can't...it hurts too much. That's Gumby..." grabbed his head and walked away. I told him to get back in there and try again.

So lets use video games. Whenever like a new iphone is coming out World of Warcraft - catyclism, etc. People line up, not only to be the first to haved them, but because there are limited amounts of them. You'll go on ebay if best buy runs out and pay a s-load of money for them. BUT, if everyone gets one the day of release in their mailbox and as they keep spinning more and more and more of these things out, they lose their value. Nobody wants one.
So lets say our dollar's value is based on gold. In the beginning, lets pretend, say the US vault has 5000 pieces of gold and one piece of gold had a solid/real value of $1000.00, equaling $5,000,000.00 in all.
However, over the past decade or so, the holder of the gold has gone on a shopping spree and not only has more debt than he has gold, but has a president of his bank simply deciding to make his own credit card printing press and just prints more credit cards to keep his spending habits going. He has no more gold coming in and even though he has 5,000,000 total he has no problem spending 20,000,000,000.00 with no end in sight and has outstanding loans with other countries that lent him money because at one time he had $5,000,000. to support those loans.
Those aren't perfect examples, but the dollar IS being managed or it comes across to me as there is a management that is manipulating in stages, the decline of the dollar.
So, when we aer here taling about "preparing" it isn't the vaporizing of the planet...it doesn't happen like that. What happens comes fast and you won't believe it then let alone now. But, there will be subtle signs. Don't ignore them.
Whatever spare time you have, learn to make your own bread. Watch for .99 sales on pork roast, four, sugar and cans...this is new, but "cans" specifically of milk. Watch prices...they are going to increase, but it's going to start out like where you used to have 4/1.00 it'll be more like 4/3.00.
Also, this has to do w/Gov. but a few years ago I had seen or kept seeing the number
5. I wrote about it in the "What do you see for the economy/gov" thread. But specifically the number 5. We are either number 5 or there are 5 chunks of countries and it comes kind of like a one world gov. Russia was in there, china...two smaller countries, maybe India (something out of the east)...it's in the process of being done.
