nuke threat 2

NUKE THREAT 2


Everything underlining my thinking, geopolitically, is energy. Oil, petroleum. Which is clearly running out. Forget sudden sharp drops in supply caused by depleting field. Quite possible, already proven, but the bigger risk is the drought of imports, regardless of how much is pumped. So it doesn’t necessarily have to be all that long before we feel threatened with economic collapse. We start with the naked, undisguised, resource grab. Yes, the collapse has clearly already started, but it is a controlled one ( not a manipulated one, a manageable one ). We’ve lost a lot of imports but we are turning the rest of the worlds cheap grain into our gasoline, poisoning the north plains mega-aquifer to get frac-oil, keeping an additional 10% of the work force home with unemployment and printing up all the Obammy-Bucks we need to bail every single corporation out. Plus, as a bonus, folks are buying 20% less Japanese cars since there won’t be any spare parts for them ( definition of a Pollyanna- someone who thinks an entire national industrial area wiped out from flooding and earthquakes, then poisoned with radiation, will magically spring forth and start spewing consumer toys and needed trinkets any day now ), which really cuts back on the needed energy to build the things, then use them. This is the opening salvo of our demise, but most people, seeing a decrease in the downward trajectory, immediately assume we are in a recovery and go out and get a thirty year mortgage ( note to dumbass- if by some miracle you keep your job, federal dictate will index your payments to hyperinflation, and before that note can be paid off you won’t have natural gas or grid electric at any price to keep the thing livable. But, hey, you just keep that American Dream alive! ).

When the collapse gets so bad the powers behind the curtain running American Empire start to panic, all kinds of bad things will happen. We could definitely start using nukes to easily and quickly take over the rest of the oil fields. Note to Halliburton engineers- they will send you in to a highly radioactive area, lie to you about the danger, and your one million ObammyDollar salary a month won’t even cover your nationalized health care bill ( you’ll pay a monthly premium, compulsory, as a percentage of wages, which will be indexed to hyperinflation, plus a tack on charge based on your “excess wealth” based on any assets ). But of course, by this time, the fields will all be in drastic terminal decline, and we will be having a hell of a time paying the soldiers and contractors. Note to military personnel- instead of a juicy 20 year retirement ( even if you get it, it will be all Monopoly money ) you will be left in a cloud of depleted uranium dust to await the arrival of insurgents to behead you as we run out of transportation back home for you ( do you honestly think the military has your best interests at heart? Seriously? ). We will use nukes, definitely, but surely only against the weak and unprotected. We won’t be attacking China or Russia or India. Even if we piss off Pakistan, how many nukes do they have for us? And none will reach our shores-their weapons are primarily India Defensive. And no matter how many other countries we hack off, no one that matters is going to seriously compromise themselves by attacking us with intercontinental missiles.

*

We will finish ourselves off by our own stupidity. Other countries know this. As long as we avoid directly attacking an ICBM armed foe, a conventional nuke attack is pretty much out of the question. State sponsored terror attacks are just as unlikely ( I think independent operator Boogey Men like Al Quida are the US’s modern equivilent to commies- we breath life into them. No? Like “The War On Drugs” isn’t all about a contrived threat? ). Why? Why would a nuke attack on our cities be necessary? We’ve already shot ourselves in the foot economically ( even knowing better, it still surprises the hell out of me that we continue to recklessly push derivatives [ I’m pretty sure we’re buying them ourselves since Europe bought so much they can’t even pay a reduced amount of interest on their debt ] even after our exposure is ten times the global GDP ). Our economy is toast, and all we are doing now is postponing reckoning day. When the checks to Grandma won’t even buy one can of dog food, when the one legal immigrant supporting twelve illegal relatives can’t buy enough rice and beans with Food Stamps to feed them, the cities erupt into violence ( rural areas and small towns do also, but at least there you can easily put distance between your armed self and the mobs ). Being in the cities is bad because of mobs of pissed off “entitlement” deprived asshats, not because of a nuclear threat.

*

My advice is, worry more about distance from mobs than fallout patterns. Anything is certainly possible, but some things are more probable than others. Plenty of areas that are deemed unworthy of relocation because of fallout are actually very attractive if you can survive the mass violence of the die-off. Don’t be scared away from them because of a extreme low probability event over exaggerated in importance. Again, to each his own post-apocalypse nightmare. If you think the evil commie menace is alive and kicking, “Strategic Relocation” is the best investment you’ll ever make. If you think mob violence one missed fed check away is more likely, deserted areas in the conventional wisdom “no-go” areas are just fine. For instance, if you are a swamp rat in Shreveport Louisiana or off Cape Canaveral Florida, those are commie ICBM prime targets. Pick which threat is more bothersome to you. It is your life, make up your mind how to increase the odds of your survival.
