jalParticipant
@ Reverse Engineer
You have a nice site.
Keep up the work. Don’t get disappointed by the number of hits or the few comments.
The knowledge and point of view are important to have on the web.jal
jalParticipantMost people cannot balance their bankbooks or do their income tax.
Here is a perfect example of the accountants and the lawyers PROPOSING fraud to the CEO.
Why are the accountants and lawyers not in jail?
Barclays tax avoidance schemes blocked: reaction
Barclays has been stopped from using two “highly-abusive” schemes that would have helped it avoid paying hundreds of millions of pounds in tax. Here a some reactions to the news:This was based on guidance from professional advisors that the treatment was both legal and compliant with the tax code, and given others had used a similar treatment. Barclays also disclosed its participation in an authorised investment fund which is also legal and compliant with the tax code.
jalParticipantI feel like a total failure.
Someone that I love has just spent $40,000 for a van that he did not need but wanted to have. He has gone into debt for another 6 years. He has reduced his free cash flow and reduced his freedom.
Wisdom is a worthless commodity if it is not accepted for its value.
MSM has won.

jalParticipantThis thread has opened up a discussion that goes right to the heart of our social economic structures.
PERCEPTION OF
slavery
debt
freedom
free will
I’m sure that most of you are aware that the best way to rule is to have the subjects unaware that they are being ruled.
I have freedom.
My surplus cash flow, (that which is available over and above the necessities of life), permits me chose to use my time, energy to acquire the tools to spend time discussing these matters with you.
Its too bad that those that are already enslaved will never become aware of their condition because they have not known any other condition to compare.
On second thought …
I’m also a slave.
We are all slaves.There are forces, ( which I had not considered), that are limiting my freedom and enslaving me.
Hey! supergravity help me out!
Take my hand, lets fly to the moon.
jalParticipantThey are knocking down “tent cities”
Imagine the loops and hoops that a municipality have already set up to prevent the set up a system as shown in the caption picture.
You would need to be a millionaire … so if you are … why would you go to the trouble to help the destitute and the needy
John Vachon Slop Sink June 1941 Erie County, Pennsylvania. “Each group of ten trailers in the FSA camp at Erie has a trailer service unit, water faucet, slop sink, and garbage pail”
jalParticipantThe link that worked for me was
https://www.motherearthnews.com/biz-bulletins/a-new-breed-of-wood-cook-stove.aspxjalParticipantThe “Debt Slavery” concept is a concept that need to be understood in its many possible forms.
1. Is working 40 hours a week, at two jobs, to be able to feed your kids “Debt Slavery” without being in debt, and having no savings?
2. Is working 12 hour days, 6 days a week, for 51 weeks and being housed 8 to a room and feed by “the company” with a small surplus income to put into your sock any better than #1?
3. Is it necessary to be in debt to be considered in “Debt Slavery”?
jalParticipant@ eg
The circle jerk, as you have stated, does affect the outcome definition of deflation/inflation.It may end up in a sudden collapse but so far everything is on slow boil.
jalParticipantIts now obvious and in the open!
CHANGE THE RULES AND THE LAWS IF THEY ARE AN IMPEDIMENT TO KEEPING THE BANKING SYSTEM FUNCTIONING.
Individuals are disposable if they oppose the new world order.
Inflation and deflation do not follow the previous rules.
jalParticipantLook at
https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=202272jal said …
I get it!
“It is rather instructive to look back just 10 years to see how badly you have been screwed”Now… I’m afraid to ask …
Look ahead 10 years to see how badly we will be screwed.
Your chart show bad bad times ahead.
Is there any way that it can be changed?
How can the 01.00% possibly generate enough cash flow from the 99%, (raising prices), to keep from accelerating their own demise.
jalParticipant“… but is happening out in the open for every neglected, second-rate passenger to see….”
Yep!
But … but … even if there are MSM program after programs explaining it
people that I’ve talked with have yet to feel that they have been affected
Inflation?, (cost of products), have gone up but its the slow boil of the frog. It still has not made the people take action. Besides, most people feel that its out of their control so they might as well accept it.
They are not even making plans “to get out of dodge city”jalParticipantKeep in mind that our present economic, financial system has been unsustainable for 30 years, (Frog and slow boiling water analogy), due to the consequences of exponential growth and leverage.
The water will only become too hot to bear when YOUR cash flow becomes less than what you need to take care of your basic needs.
( Yep, the list is coming)
Your cash flow is in danger if you lose your job, lose your pension, lose your unemployment and lose your welfare.
Oh! You think that cash flow from savings are not going to stop.
Why, would you think that. Savings are only producing low single digit cash flow.So, yes, you have time to plan and to get into action.
You could start small, by growing a vegetable in your flower pot.
You could take the time to plan an exit strategy and to fix a “grab bag” for a quick exit. After all, its better to have some preparation.Keep in mind that the majority of the Greeks are still not evacuating and are not becoming refugees. Their water maybe hot but they still have enough cash flow for their basic needs. Never-the-less, aid groups are having difficulty feeding everyone. Suicide rates have gone up. Mothers are abandoning their children at orphanages. Public building are being torched in protest.
Extended families are still capable of helping out.With all the examples of hardship, around the world, are you going to notice that things, maybe, could get worst for you? Will you be in the first wave of refugees or the last wave?
You could be living out of your packsack, as a refugees, or you could have already set up camp or a doomstead. You could even be one of those that decided to stay in “Dodge city” with all your preparations.
If you are a short term planner you could just think of it as an extended camping or tail gate party. Just remember that eventually you might run out of beer before the end of the emergency and you will need to obtain more supplies. In some areas, the reset will be so severe that it will be impossible for you to buy beer and to keep partying. Then, you will be wishing that you had not wasted all your resources on beer.
Let’s make a list of the NEEDS that EVERYONE will be facing.
Its pretty basic stuff.
Housing
Water
Sewage
Garbage
Food
Money/tokens/bartering supplies or skills
Heating/cooling
Transportation
Health
Security
Communication/social interactionNo one can do the preparation for you.
Keep reading the blogs, evaluate, prepare and hope for the best outcome.jalParticipantNOW … you remind me that its bad everywhere and getting worst.
Only the center is allowed to direct the flow of tributes, resources and wealth from the periphery.
The USA has been doing it for 30 years by borrowing from other countries and spending more than it raises in taxes.
For Greece to have done the same thing is not even an idea worth considering.
Those who prefer normal “economic talk” can check out the following by the market ticker.https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=202029
This is elmementary mathematics, but nobody wants to deal with it.
GDP = C + I + G + (x – i)
GDP = private consumption + gross investment + government spending + (exports − imports)
Now … what happens when “the center“ finally decides that it has been used by the periphery.
1 .Austerity is the punishment for Greece
and/or
2. The financing of the spending binge come to a stop.See …

3. Of course, there is the final solution which we are presently seeing. You can pretend that the party is not over by “printing money” until someone decides that your tokens of exchange are worthless.
jalParticipantThis thread is still not working properly.
The only way I can get to see the last posts is to load “reply to topic”
I tried to post an answer to the front page and got warned that ” I tried to post spam’ and the post did not show up.
What did I do that was rejected.
jalParticipantSince Year of EU entry, 1981, it is too far fetch of an idea that the Greeks were smarter than the the bankers and the fund managers.
They could not have worked out a plan to get the “center” to give them a lifestyle reserved for “center”.
There is no way that the “center” got taken in by the Greeks. The bankers orchestrated it all for their commissions.
That the Greeks managed to kick the can 20 years down the road and sucked all that money etc. from the “center” must be absurd./sarcasm off
jalParticipantI would think that by now someone would have look at the other side of the “Greek coin”.
First, the logic is that the center collects tributes, resources and wealth from the periphery to support its lifestyle.
The understanding is that the center is Germany and France and that Greece is the periphery.Then, why has Greece been the one getting the tributes, resources and wealth at the expense of the financial system which is now being propped up from failure by the supposedly center?
Why is Greece, being considered periphery, been the one enjoying the lifestyle that is suppose to be reserved for the center?
The logic seems to indicate that it was Greece that did the conquering of the EU and that the EU does not want to send anymore tributes, resources and wealth to the center, Greece.
jalParticipantA Government warning said that anyone travelling in icy conditions should take a shovel, blankets or sleeping bag, extra clothes including hat scarf and gloves, 24 hour supply of food and drink, de-icer, rock salt, safety triangle, tow rope, gas can, 1st aid kit and jump cables.
I looked a right nerdy on the bus today.
jalParticipantLet’s look at what needs to be taken care of after TSHTF for you. You are now destitute. There is no cash flow.
I urge you to read
https://theautomaticearth.org/Category-6/t-287.htmlSave Your Water
Keep in mind that even though the cash flow has stopped, that people all over the world have solved the problems of taking care of their needs for clean water.
Look at their answers and figure out what will apply for your situation.
Every Emergency Preparedness Programs gives possible answers that might apply for your situation.
Read the sites and plan accordingly.Do not rely on relief organizations to be able to respond to your needs.
Since this topic is about “GETTING OUT OF DODGE CITY”, I”ll address a few items for consideration.
You will be joining a mass exodus of other refugees. The exodus will happen in waves.
Since you have done your planning and some preparations, according to your abilities, you will probably be in the first waves. Yes, the first wave will consist of minor waves of prepared individuals such as …1. You are going to be able to take your packsack and hike out of the city to your camping spot.
2. You are going to take your camping gear and drive to your camping spot.
3. You are going to load up your RV and go to your chosen location.
4. You are going to load up and go to your cottage.
5. You are going to your doomstead.No matter where you go, you will be overrun by other waves of refugees.
The waves will consist of …1. Totally unprepared individuals needing and wanting handouts.
2. Organized groups/gangs determined and prepared to extort and take whatever they want and need from anyone in their path.Until a strong group/gang/gov./military can impose their version of law and order, your best defense will be to become non threatening and invisible
or
to be part of an organized community that can deal with the various waves of refugees.~~ Make your luck ~~

jalParticipantCHECK MY LAST MESSAGE IN THE SPAM BOX
It told me,
“You have tried to send spam to this site. An administrative alert has been sent”
jalParticipantDammmmmm … it seems to me that you’all are learning faster than me.
Stop feeling sorry for your age
you know the saying … its futile …
Everyone who posted has a “Karma: 1 – +”, except me.
Do you’all see the same as me?
update I just gave a – to someone and then I got a message that I can only do it once every 6 hour.
Too bad Glennjeff, you wont be able to pump up the score consecutively.
jalParticipantI didn’t know that … “I know we don’t get on well”
[https://theautomaticearth.org/components/com_kunena/template/default/images/emoticons/ermm.png]Do you see a + or – under your name where it is written Karma?
I don’t see that under my name.
I see it under a lot of names.
jalParticipantWhy do so many people have a Karma and I don’t?
jalParticipantashvin …
you must have done something.
The last post,yours, is not showing up … againjalParticipantclicking on “last post” only brings me to ashvin answer on bbcode.
This post should increase the counter on “answer”
jalParticipantI just “clicked” on the pages 1,2,3, of the comments and they are the same.
My Karma question does not show up.
It shows up now as I type this as (last post first).

jalParticipantWhy don’t I have a Karma + or – like you?
jalParticipantThe “read more” has nothing more to read. It just flips to a different layout.
How do I include the smileys into the text?
What is “bbCode help – Tip: bbCode can be used on selected text”?
jalParticipantWhat happened to the forecast that US municipalities were to go bankrupt, (+ 50 in 2011)?
It seems like the forecast was a bit early.
How many Greek cities have declared bankruptcies?
It looks like that the US cities have a few more moves that they can make before they reach the Greek conditions.

jalParticipantI’m still trying to find out how this blog works.
Since I cannot find any comments for “Re: Crossing the Greek Dead Lines”, then this must be the first comment.
The markets have everything under control. There is no exit panic … yet.
