A Perfectly Sustainable World Is Within Our Grasp

Before you read this article, if you haven’t yet, please take our new survey. With national lockdowns easing and creating concerns for a surge in new covid-19 cases, and tens of millions (in the US alone) finding themselves out of work, we’re being asked by the world for an update on how households and businesses […]

A full decade and some $14 Trillion in newly-printed money later, plus the cheapest interest rates in recorded history, and yet the central banks have not been able to restore growth to the global economy. The experiment has failed.

What good is Dow 30,000 if 75% of us can’t afford a house or scrape together $400 in an emergency?

Executive Summary

  • Urgency is needed, as society’s alarm bells aren’t working
  • The most important charts of all
  • Recent learnings on resilience relocation
  • When a culture becomes desperate, it reacts desperately. No one wins.

If you have not yet read Part 1: Getting Real About Green Energy, available free to all readers, please click here to read it first.

What seems to be true is that humanity is in the early innings of a great transition.  Losing access to abundant energy will change more things that you or I can appreciate at this time.

The future is barreling towards us at a furious pace.  And the pace of that change is accelerating.

It’s time to freak out a bit.  To get serious about protecting ourselves.  To make different decisions and reorganize our priorities.

If you understand energy and its relationship to the economy the way I do, you’d share my urgency to create community and develop a resilient homestead.  My goal here is to nudge you towards action.

Here’s what has me so concerned right now. These charts clearly show the… (Enroll now to continue reading)

The Importance Of A Resilient Life
by Chris Martenson

My business partner Adam and I recently met with a successful business owner whose career began on Wall Street. The kind of guy who should be rooting for the system, because it has treated him well.

Instead, he was quite nervous about the sustainability of the status quo. “Starting in August,” he said, “Maybe it was the Amazon catching fire, maybe it was the negative interest rates – I don’t know for certain what the trigger was – but something has snapped.”

I agree. Because I feel it, too.

While it’s *soooo* tempting to write about the stomach-churning drop/spike/dive thrill ride the financial markets have embarked on after this week’s Federal Reserve rate cut, I will resist and instead direct your attention to a topic much more important to our future.

Are humans wired to deal with the kinds of existential threats facing society today? This is not just an intellectually-interesting metaphysical question. The answer may well determine whether our species makes it to the next century or not. As PeakProsperity.com readers know well, humans’ relentless pursuit of ‘ever more’ growth is finally slamming into the […]

 "It's About Control": An Interview with David Icke
Just got my result that I’m C19 positive.
I work at a mining camp in northern BC where I shared a bathroom with a guy (double injected) that was coughing for days and then tested positive. They got me to do a rapid test which was negative but I was feeling OK at that time.
