Default A lot has happened in the last two weeks. UPDATE.

Bombs Away. At least on Libya.

LOTS going on. Protests in Yemen, Bahrain and Saudi have been stifled with bullets, rubber and real ones.

Obama in Brazil trying to scrounge up some more oil. We now need the Chile fruit.

SPRING is here. Hello Floods in the mid west, mudslides in CA, wild fires in FL, GA. Hello tornados from Oklahoma to Ohio.

Hello trace elements of radiation from Japan.

Hello bombs into Israel.

Hello Russia. Remember them? OH, you'll be hearing a lot more from Russia in the coming weeks ahead.

Hello inner city turmoil.

Are you ready for the ride?

Be buying tomorrow's food at today's prices.
Join with neighbors and friends to buy wholesale.
Make as much CASH as fast as you can.

Like momma used to say when I held the refridge door open too long...

"The picture hasn't changed."

I think the news media are on overload...they can't select their propaganda of the day fast enough. They can't keep up.

Can you?

This next storm about to hit will make the last one look like a gentle Spring rain falling upon the parched soil of a once prosperous farm.

This next storm, gathering speed at lightening speed is getting closer and closer.

Don't wait. Act now. Prepare. Plan to help those who don't.

Food. Buying power. CASH.

A short list of coming essentials.

we'll see.

The DEPRESSION indicator will be near the opening bell of NYSE and NASDAQ.

By then, we'll be a few hours into the Shiite protests in Saudi Arabia. It is estimated that Shiites comprise about 15 to 20% of the Muslim populations...but they are a people who have felt repressed for centuries and in Saudi Arabia, the place of the "split" between followers of Mohammed, is especially important.

They have for centuries, and in the last century during the oil boom and the rise to power of Sunni Princes...the Shiite population has been seething.

We'll see how much pent up frustration they release on Friday.

More importantly, for the whole region and world, is how the Sunni Monarchy RESPONDS.

Speculators will be chomping at the bit for the opening bell...perhaps pushing up gold and oil considerably.

IF there is a fear, real or perceived, that Saudi oil is at risk...look for 4.00 a gallon gas at the pumps by the end of the day.

IF the protests come across as peaceful, if the Shiite have their say and their day...and perceived concessions are granted...and Saudi has plenty of money to spend...but, can they buy off a revolt which has been brewing for centuries?

We'll see.

Today, we seem to have resurrected the HAWKS from the Vietnam War era...Sen McCain wants a NO FLY zone imposed on Libya now...why wait?

Since America has called for Kadafi to step down...and he appears to be gaining ground against the "revolutionaries"... have we put our collective foot in our mouth?

I don't know.

I'm saying to get ready. For something huge. IF it doesn't come, your only downside is you'll have more money and some food to share with others.

This sounds a little like the Y2K prepardness, but this time, the threat is very real for one simple reason...America's dependency on OIL.

We'll see on Friday if the snowball is thrown or not.

Make as much CASH as fast as you can.
Start buying tomorrow's food at today's prices.
Join or form a buying co-op to stretch your buying power.

PS. A note on chatteling, my preferred way to generate cash.

Today, I use only 3 tools. Craigslist, ebay and google.

Try this experiment.

Go to your local craigslist and search the FOR SALE sections. Use the DOLLAR amounts for search parameters. Put 1000 in min and 2000 in maximum...and race through every for sale subject.

Keep a pen handy and write down some of the items you see.

What you'll have at the end of this list is perhaps, as many as 10 or more items which are UNDERVALUED. And this undervalued chattel represents a quick and easy 300 to 500 dollars.

You can determine "value", somewhat, by using ebay completed listings for comparison and see what similar items have sold for...and use google (I use images) to locate retail and wholesale and other values.

It isn't about the what (as I've said 1001 times, it is all about the how much)...the what is irrelevant as long as there is demand for it and you find it undervalued.

Honest to God, it ain't Rocket Surgery.
