Basic facts of life are that WE are not in control. Democracy is effectively dead and we're being railroaded on a course set by others. Our interests are not going to be served AT ALL. Your money is not your own, your needs are not going to be met by any policital process they deem to let you take part in.
There is talk of people stocking up for TEOTWAWKI (the end of the world as we know it) and even I'm paranoid enough to keep 3 months of food AND have the ability to power/heat myself totally off-grid. I've even read of BANKERS doing it!
Thing is, all the signs are pointing in one direction. There are no encouraging signs of recovery, only desperate efforts to paper-over the cracks and keep the system going as it is for as long as possible - probably just long enough for those in power to cover their arses and shift their wealth to some safe haven.
For example - You can bet your life that (suspiciously) there will be NO members of the Cypriot Government, their friends or relatives who have ANY cash in Laiki bank (the one destined to be wound up). UK property prices are rising (especially in London) as people get rid of cash in favour of assets, artwork, antiques, mega-cars etc. The stock market is booming (and we're supposed to be in recession!) as it's artificially inflated presumably so people can skim off the top just before it collapses.
As far as the UK is concerned even the majority of people can think of a few SIMPLE, quick methods to start a recovery. To name but a few: out of the EU, abandon the CO2/green energy policies, stop overseas aid, close the borders, clamp down on benefits, bring our armies home..... (care to add to the list

). But will they? Like fcuk. Why?
Because there is an AGENDA - there has to be. Even politicians can't be so fcuking THICK as to fail to see what is happening and what can (easily) be done to fix it. They are not THAT THICK (although we'd like to belive that is the case to offer them some form of excuse) but instead are all part of the system that has been built to steer us on the chosen course. They are all BOUGHT and paid for. Even local Government has been infiltrated - every aspect of our lives is controlled and NO-ONE has been consulted on these changes - were YOU ever asked?
If you want to know how bad it is I recommend you read on-line blogs. Of course, some of them are 'out there' with their conspiracy theories etc but there are enough genuine, fact-filled blogs to reveal that what I'm writing here isn't just b*llocks. I know I rant and some things I say are 'my own thoughts on the processes' and could equally be dismissed as the ravings of a loon (there, I said it

) but I'm not 'thick' - I'm worried.
The newspapers are also part of the system, bought and paid for to promote the cause. And the BBC? Don't make me laugh. Check out Russia Today for your news and compare and contrast their version to that of the BBC and wonder how communism left Russia and established itself in the UK/EU.
If there was any evidence to point towards a happy ending I'd love to see it. To me the evidence all points in one direction - and we all know how crap one direction are

Don't take it personally......
