Speaking of Dunbar's number, Mad Max, etc., I found a comment from a Russian who lived through the collapse of the USSR that was quite chilling.

The problem is that completely logical assumptions turn out to be totally incorrect
in situations which defy logic.

For example, you are talking about importance of living in community, acquiring
friends, mutual help, etc.

The topic is dangerously misunderstood.

The assumption all of you are making is that violence from inner cities will spread
and engulf your quiet cozy neighbors. Therefore, your survival is dependent
on amount of food you store, caliber of your guns, food you may grow, etc.

That assumption totally wrong! The most critical danger you are facing is from your own neighbors, the same men and women who smile to you when you meet them. You will never believe what people in distress are capable of doing...
More of the comment is at the link.

While the periphery breaks down rather slowly at first, the capital cities of the hegemon should collapse suddenly and violently.

Like being a democrat today until they realize the main course is them.
Batesian mimicry is something to behold with diminishing returns as noted.
Like I asked my Wife how many lumens did you apply to that decision on actual cost.
Until these people understand they tossed million under there own bus its
impossible to have a constructive dialog even here. Like we noted fangs produce
one effect so ignore the village idiots with crayons i.e. fallacy of composition.

In 1929, in an effort to destroy the well-to-do peasant farmers, Joseph Stalin ordered the collectivization of all Ukrainian farms. In the ensuing years, a brutal Soviet campaign of confiscations, terrorizing, and murder spread throughout Ukrainian villages. What food remained after the seizures was insufficient to support the population. In the resulting famine as many as seven million Ukrainians starved to death.

The first rumors of actual cannibalism were related to the mysterious and sudden disappearances of people in the village ....As the cases of missing persons grew in number, an arrest was made which shook us to our souls. A woman was taken into custody, charged with killing her two children. Another woman was found dead, her neck contorted in a crudely made noose. The neighbors who discovered the tragedy also found the reason for it. The flesh of the woman’s three year-old daughter was found in the oven.

Joke which went around when the Soviets began buying wheat from the US:
Functionary: Why is the glorious USSR buying wheat from the running dogs of the US?
Kruschev: We will order all the wheat they can provide, which will cause the price to rise so they produce more and more wheat and the price will go ever higher. Soon it will become so profitable to grow wheat that they will devote more and more of their land to it, finally their capitalist greed will cause them to tear down their factories, rip up their roads, to plant more. At last, the entire country will be one huge wheat field.
F: And then?
K: Then we cancel the order.
Today? FRN to fund the grain colony of democrats for the Commissar we hired from the swamp. The color of cat does not matter, as long as it catches the mice.
Nov 19, 2009: On his trip to England in 1979, Deng Xiaoping learned why free economies were outperforming Russia and China, and he returned to launch the Sino-Capitalist Revolution which keeps astonishing the world even as faith in capitalism fades across much of the OECD. He had learned why Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea could keep creating jobs and wealth by rejecting socialism—whether on the Maoist, Bolshevik, or Indian models.
They see only what is immediately visible to the eye. Politics in America is what it is as the world moves on. The democrats and republicans ignore reality.
Ignore facts long enough you can run for office and destroy the middle class. Stock up and plan for Stagflation. They have as Washington does what? piss and moan about what? Wake up people...
I must admit they need to clean up water and air as ours need to spend per capita only and not kick the can on budgetary
acountability. Looking for a pivot point is apathy to change direction since we know how this going to end to date.

(1) The name is first mentioned in Gen 4:18-24. Here Lamech, the son of Methushael, is named as the last of the descendants of Cain. He was the father of Jabel, Jubal, Tubal-cain, and Naamah. As the husband of two wives, namely, Adah and Zillah, he furnishes the first recorded instance of polygamy. It is very instructive to note that this "father of polygamy" at once becomes the first blustering tyrant and a braggadocio; we are fully permitted to draw this conclusion from his so-called "swordlay" (Gen 4:23 f). He does not put his trust in God, but in the weapons and implements invented by his sons, or rather these instruments, enhancing the physical and material powers of man, are his God. He glories in them and misconstrues the Divine kindness which insured to Cain freedom from the revenge of his fellow-men.
(2) Another Lamech. is mentioned in Gen 5:25,28 (compare 1 Ch 1:3; Lk 3:36), the son of Methuselah and the father of Noah. His words (Gen 5:29) show the great difference between this descendant of Seth and the descendant of Cain. While the one is stimulated to a song of defiance by the worldly inventions of his sons, the other, in prophetical mood, expresses his sure belief in the coming of better times, and calmly and prayerfully awaits the period of comfort and rest which he expected to be ushered in by his son Noah.
Moses was the fullfillment of prophecy of Lamech, his day of 120 years of the new world order I have read.
He also passed on to us Psa 90:10 The days of our years [are] threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength [they be] fourscore years, yet [is] their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

Understanding Cycles – the Two Extremes – Why We must Crash & Burn

The politicians would rather destroy centuries of civilization before rationally ending socialism that does not work. The banks want to be the man with the one-eye in the land of the blind. But rigging the game to create the perfect trade, only results in destroying society. They may become the one-eyed man in the land of the blind counting all their wealth, but there will be nothing left and no place to spend it.

Due Process & New York – The End of Reason

They cannot see that the world they are creating is the destruction of everything that made civilization work. With no Rule of Law and in a land where only government wins, nothing have any real meaning or value.

So the New York Press will NEVER report the truth about the courts, the banks, or what Alan Cohen did no less the fact that all the evidence we gathered that would have put all the bankers in prison for life, magically disappeared in the collapse of the SEC Building that amazingly was not even hit by an plane in the 911 attack.

making the rounds:

America did benefit from fucking around in Iraq- the Chinese are getting fuck-tons of cheap oil from Iraq now, so the gold guzzling Chinese consumers compete less with the gas and debt guzzling American consumers, which keeps US gas at the relatively cheap pump price of $3.67 per gallon.
So what was the point in us being there? Was it effective? Or did we just send a bunch of kids over there to die and get limbs blown off for nothing? RP's point has always been that we need to mind our own business, and you just proved it correct.

Bill Kristol said on CSPAN (about 2 months ago) that Iraq was doing fine and that the surge worked and that American blood/treasure spent in Iraq was worth it......see how these stinking/fuckers lie......still lying about Iraq 10 yrs after the war started......
edit.....interview in January........These neo-cons want more war........listen to this interview about 33 minutes in.......
http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/ObamasSec

May was Iraq’s deadliest month in nearly five years, with more than 1,000 dead – both civilians and security personnel -- in a rash of bombings, shootings and other violence. As we read each day of new horrors in Iraq, it becomes more obvious that the US invasion delivered none of the promised peace or stability that proponents of the attack promised.
Millions live in constant fear, refugees do not return home, and the economy is destroyed. The Christian community, some 1.2 million persons before 2003, has been nearly wiped off the Iraqi map. Other minorities have likewise disappeared. Making matters worse, US support for the Syrian rebels next door has drawn the Shi’ite-led Iraqi government into the spreading regional unrest and breathed new life into extremist elements.

To a point yes your correct H on the nature of it.

listen to the markets.....don't try and tell them what to do. Check the rigging and steady as she goes
on this watch, aye. Be carefull.

As this quality article notes - it does forget the off switch is a option also.

Also I read a few reports and it conveyed a 19.40 consolidation of the shiny commercial.
They are wrong and totaly insane. DCA it now. Ignore the paper tigers since they left college damaged
and no pill will cure it, only time and the proper library can hopefully do that. It should never be treated
as you first time either and a percentage of net profits only.

My favorite of the night:
We are still the bread basket of the world - Monsanto GMO wheat. Thanks but no thanks.
Great Gatsby/Grapes of Wreath was in a time when America was a much more homogenous culture. When the wheels come off now almost 100 years later, you don't even know what language your potential killers and savages are speaking. America is full of people who are proud descendants from a heritage where a man's life has absolutely no value. They will kill you for a slice of bread and not even bat an eye. America is not any better than your average Central American or Central African shithole. Canada's remote communities are a better place to take cover and ride it out.
Brought to by the state department just dropping them in by the tens of thousands as the talented locals went south for work at least around here that is.

Global easy money and a nation in the middle of economic and geopolitical hotspots - buy it with both hands and feet. However, it appears reality is starting to sink in. Last week's (and ongoing) social unrest is beginning to take the shine off the hot-money flows. The broad Turkish stock market is now down 17% from its highs last week (very reminiscent of Japan) having given up in 3 days the gains from the first five months of the year. Turkish bond yields also spiked (moar hot-money outflows from 'reaching for yield') by their most on record (71bps) to 6.78%.
