    “A very limited number of people, with all of their minions, control the entire now unstable edifice, and they’ll fight tooth and nail to keep their power.”

    That sucking sound that you hear is from your savings/income to the accounts of the 10% (minions) trying to save their lifestyle.

    The rich taking from the poor.

    The cat get kicked by all the others that are higher on the …..

    The more you have the more you could lose.

    Wake up! Its not a dream. Yesterday is gone.

    Hi Ilargi, “a very limited number of people” is an extremely vague description.
    Can you be more specific as to WHO these people are and how they relate to the PEOPLE WHO CONTROL THE DEBT-MONEY SYSTEMS THAT FINANCE EVERY MAJOR INSTITUTION IN THE WEST INCLUDING GOVERNMENTS AND POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS?
    TIA…

    I’m going to get 100 t-shirts and tank-tops made (bright lime green tanks, deep Irish green t-shirts) with the US Green party logo where a pocket would be, with VOTE GREEN 2016 under it
    Same logo on back right, bigger, with 2 lines of text to left/top
    Jill Stein MD for President 2016
    No Excuses This Time
    I’ll give them away locally. These shirts will never be regrettable, as those 2008-2012 Obama paraphenalia are.

    The GreatER Depression, since 2007/08.
    The [D]elite PTB’s – Psychopaths That Bugger – final “hat trick” is WAR for the following reasons:
    1) distraction for their “exit stage left” undetected
    2) destruction of military asset that could be used to extract them from or destroy them at their remote int’l digs should theyr agenda fail.
    3) financial benefit from funding to ALL warring participants both DURING AND AFTER hostilities.
    4) EUGENICS – elimination of millions, possibility billions of “worthless eaters”.
    5) institution of a corporate-managed global technocratic serfdom.

    Ascribing to others or SUBscribing Oneself to “labels” and engaging in presumptive “possession” (my/your/their/our) is the folly of fools. Words have consequence, especially in courts whether administrative, maritime equity or common law.

    Hi wholy1
    I don’t remember seeing any previous post by you.
    Welcome!

    Comment. On what you said, only those with money could downtime you said.
    Therefore, it will be a fight by the rich.
    Stay out of the way. Collect what you can from the battle field so that you can survive another day.

    I remember doing a paper in college in 1975 about the growth and economies of scale in the US economic system being a natural source of conflict. I didn’t see the growing trend to centralization as the problem it has become these days, and adding to the problems. Finance seemed like a tiny utility function at the time, dwarfed by the industrial character of the day. It has certainly grown to dominate the global system. The collapse is going to be a terrible thing.

    Hi Ilargi and Commentariat,

    Raul, you asked me to write up the composition of an off grid solar electric system, and I have not forgotten that, but I keep feeling like things need to be specific to the application.
    I got some 12V LED string lights and a 12V wall-wart power supply to play with for $20 from Amazon. I’m thinking of keeping an essential core package of lights and laptop and cellphone at 12V, with 12V panels and just diodes between panels and batteries. The AGM (adsorbed glass mat) lead acid batteries are the best of that sort, but you really have to avoid dropping below 30% charge or the get weaker on what they will hold. Nickel-iron are heavy, expensive and take a beating and last a hundred years if you change the potassium-hydroxide and distilled water electrolyte every decade or so. Lithium ion take a beating pretty well, too.
    Anyway, at the opposite end of the complexity spectrum is this, from Gizmodo. It’s a hand-truck with battery that does everything, put together by a guy who sails, and has a sailboat system, he has lived with.
