Topic: Have a Means of Production

[Weisshaupt]

A good take on things IMO.

Why silver and gold won't protect you from the economic collapse that's coming

WE have a Bet on Silver. We have a bet on Gold. But our largest bet is on our means of production.

Actually visit the You Tube Channel. He is good at this, if a little heavy on the evil NWO banker theory

Gun Toting Liberals
A basic, rational defense of the 2nd amendment.

An Open Message to the 99% (Occupy Wall Street)
A calm rational appealto the OWS crowd ( that will be completely lost on them)

The total collapse of the U.S. economy is inevitable - Here's why

This last explains his theory as far as sequence of events.  Basically once Oil is no longer traded in dollars, the demand for dollars will fall, oil will become very expensive, making transportation very expensive, which of course makes everything else very expensive. And yeah, I think that sequence of events is pretty likely.

This one gets a bit NWO/conspiracy for me, but given the run up to WWI and WWII, its not entirely impossible either.
I don't think our govt has the balls to  nuke us populations ala Jericho. But then, maybe they might.  Its not a scenario I am prepping for. If they are willing to use Nukes on us to get justify a war, they will release biological weapons, andchemical weapons on us as well. We can't defend against that.
Total Collapse - The Build up to World War III

Anyway, lots of interesting thoughts from this guy. Don't accept it all lock, stock and barrel, but interesting to hear another take.

Land will be a value no matter what the medium of exchange.  
IOW, whether it's gold or or grains of sand we use as money
one will be able to use land to tap into the money flow.  And
if one owns gold and the medium of exchange is the renminbi
there may be a conversion fee or it may be prohibited.

Land's negatives are that it's value depends on the rule of law and that it is not portable.

Land and rule of law, in a post-apocalyptic world law will be dispensed by the property owner, and he better be better armed, better skilled and have better resources and personnel than the next guy, or his wealth will become somebody else's!

[charlesoakwood]

That's down right feudal.

[Pandora]

Just so.  And just where we're headed.

[Glock32]

Feudalism is what congealed in the vacuum created by the death of the Roman Empire, so it's certainly not without precedence.

[Libertas]

Yeah, and the next Dark Age could be just as nasty.

I agree with his logic. Me and a couple of our close friends don't really have money for metals (except Lead) but we can grow food and I now how to brew BEER and make WHISKEY. 

[AlanS]

.......and I now how to brew BEER ....... 

I'm going to have to learn that little trick.

[Damn_Lucky]

It's easy in a cool climate and worth it's weight in gold when SHTF!

[Libertas]

I know how to make beer, distilling is another thing.  I understand the concept, but hey, you got any design set up's to share?!
