If You See Something, Say Something

One of the great things about humans is their ability to get together to make a common cause. It is also one of humanity's greatest faults.

If you think Janet Napolitano's ...the Secretary of Homeland Security...program of turning every American into an informer, called "If you see something, say something," is new, you might want to read Pam Dewey's latest entry in her Prophecy Panic Button blog.

During WWI people came together as one to fight the dastardly Hun. If you doubt the narrative of the powers that be, watch out. Your friends and neighbors will not approve. Even worse, maybe your children will not approve.

The power of culture to enforce conformity is huge. If you know how it was done in the past, you might be less susceptible to this in your present or near future. Click here for part 5 in this series. 

Havenville, a City for the Fearful

A lot of people are afraid of the future. They have reason to be. Many people want to prepare by moving to a small town. This is not a bad idea based on many reasons independent of the chance of the apocalypse occurring next week. 

But you do not need to buy this house. Here is the pitch:

• An overnight seize-up of the international banking system has shut down U.S. banks, thus halting the just-in-time food and fuel deliveries to your area? Or,
• Upon turning on the news, you learned of the simultaneous release of biological agents by terrorists in 8 major U.S. cities with threats of more to come? Or,
• A huge solar flare impacted the upper atmosphere over North America, knocking out communications and the entire power grid across the continent for an indeterminable period of time.

And this: 

• An ever-widening pandemic from a previously unknown virulent flu strain. Or,
• The constant erosion of domestic economic conditions due to simultaneous high inflation, high interest rates, and high unemployment. Or,
• A protracted weather phenomenon, such as the “Dust Bowl” drought of the 1930′s.

Here is the house. Zombies would have easy access. The house is just a normal house in a small community. Where? They will not tell you. Can you go see it? Yes, but you must give them $1,500 for the privilege of looking. Does it have an orchard? 

There has been an orchard of 21 semi-dwarf fruit trees (cherry, apricot, plum, peach, pear, and apple) on the property that can be re-planted. There is plenty of room to plant a basketball court-sized vegetable garden (about the size a family of four needs to be self-sufficient) and/or construct stables on the property

In other words, no. While the house can run on wood heating, somewhat, as is probably common in the area, at 4 acres there is not a woodlot. In fact the house is in a normal subdivision of large lots, nothing special. I own lots in such a subdivision. I would be glad to sell you one. You can plant an orchard on this land too. You can also build a stable on mine! You can also plant a garden. 

So if you want to waste $1500 to see this fine example of 1970's building technology in an unnamed location go ahead. I think I will pass.

Just what you need right now! Or at least it is what I need right now.

The Man He Killed

It is difficult to struggle against Babylon. It is especially difficult to not participate in her wars. The following video is an adaptation of Thomas Hardy's anti-war poem "The Man He Killed." It is a fitting introduction to part 4 of Pam Dewey's series on Big Brother. Those who did not want to fight in the especially useless war WWI were rounded up with no regard for law. Big Brother, or Babylon as the Bible calls it, is not a modern phenomenon. It goes back millennia. 



Here is the full poem if you want to contemplate it more, it deserves contemplation. 

The Man He Killed
Thomas Hardy
Had he and I but met
By some old ancient inn,
We should have set us down to wet
Right many a nipperkin!
But ranged as infantry,
And staring face to face,
I shot at him as he at me,
And killed him in his place.
I shot him dead because—
Because he was my foe,
Just so: my foe of course he was;
That's clear enough; although
He thought he'd 'list, perhaps,
Off-hand like—just as I—
Was out of work—had sold his traps—
No other reason why.
Yes; quaint and curious war is!
You shoot a fellow down
You'd treat, if met where any bar is,
Or help to half a crown.
