The Coming Fury Of An Angry America
A tiny part of a tiny part of the population of the earth will set the terms for the future of all humans. A tiny part that is broken, spent out, and increasingly disillusioned. That sliver of humanity is the broken, spent out, and increasingly disillusioned American middle class, burdened with the task of spending all America out of catastrophe. HAITI
The Kidnapping of Haiti
By John Pilger
The theft of Haiti has been swift and crude. On 22 January, the United States secured “formal approval” from the United Nations to take over all air and sea ports in Haiti, and to “secure” roads. No Haitian signed the agreement, which has no basis in law. Power rules in an American naval blockade and the arrival of 13,000 marines, special forces, spooks and mercenaries, none with humanitarian relief training. Continue

You probably don’t have a savings account or credit card to tap to go
live in a hotel for awhile – – even if there were enough hotels left
standing to get a room. You might try to stay with friends or
relatives in the countryside (where, in Haiti, most people live on

Canada or Mexico, but you’ll likely be turned back. If you do make it
out, you’ll need to find a friend or relative to take you in. You’ll
also have to figure out how to get there.

’Relearning the skills that our grandparents took for granted,such
as how to use hand tools, how to build our own structures, how to
mend and make clothing, how to make our own medicine, how to forage,
grow, preserve and store our food’.
There’s a Mad Max feel to many of

for not planning for such a life changing event.

This is not a pitch :) but for anyone interested, there is an online Bible and here, you can access just about any verse or chapter or ‘book’ …Thought you might be interested. It certainly took a lot of work to do this, and it really takes the headache away for those who search for certain passages. – Luc Majno |
