A: Love to all of the group. Do not be fearful! You are armed with much knowledge! You will be amazed how well you can think once you receive the signal that the time is "NOW!". Goodbye.

Also means "friend" in Persian
meta-agnostic said:Regarding renting, I think the kind of relationship you have with your landlord could make a lot of difference. If money becomes worthless, what are they going to want from you? Food/supplies? If you have a few to barter with them, that could help. Gold/silver? Maybe. If it's a situation where there is steep inflation before all hell breaks loose, chances are you could work something out during the interim months or at least have enough renter's/squatter's rights to remain before they can physically "kick you out". And if they can kick you out, what are they going to want with the property? To live there themselves? To have other tenants who can pay them with food/supplies? To somehow use the property as another resource? Are they "mom & pop" landlords with a few properties, a big faceless corporation, or somewhere in between? Could you work out something where they could live in the property with you if wherever they normally live has become untenable? Not to mention, if they are paying a mortgage on the property themselves, how much more of a right to it than you do they really have? All questions important to ask before, during and after the rule of law breaks down. You may not seem to be in quite as stable of a position as a homeowner as far as accumulating supplies, but you may need them every bit as much or more depending on how it all goes down.

Keyhole said:Laura said:Ya'll ought not to forget one of the top five threats: epidemic/pandemic. Sometimes when we have FOTCM members here, we play "let's pretend thus and so has happened/is happening, what do we do?" It's an interesting exercise and I think some of the other FOTCM groups do it too.
I presume that this may relate to the situation where there is no one to actually kick you out, everyone is either ill or dead... Best to stock up on everything while it is still possible then. Make contingency plans for the worst possible scenarios and continue to gain as much knowledge as possible. If one is not part of the FOTCM private board, what possibilities are there community-wise?
BHelmet said:Here is a little story: My kids wonder why I seem so cynical about 'changing the world/making the world a better place'. They asked about my past. I shared that I turned 17 in 1968. I realized this did not mean much to them, so I compiled a little video for them of the events of that year. It was a great catharsis for me and it brought back so much. It is one thing to describe events and quite another to see the videos of riots in 100's of cities, stormtroopers wading into peaceful protesters and cracking skulls, Bobby Kennedy being gunned down, the Viet Nam insanity like the famous police chief in Saigon blowing a guys brains out right on TV. (they now restrict this kind of incendiary real time imagery, I think, so as not to stir people up) anyway it seemed like a kind of a simultaneous impromptu uprising - a kind of unexpected grassroots, sudden frontal assault on the establishment (as we called the PTB then). I would say the PTB got caught off guard before they went into 'suppression mode'. A key point is that it all revolved around civl rights and Viet Nam war: very focused locus of polarization.
Perceval said:Approaching Infinity said:1) Missing without a trace and never found
2) Found alive, but usually in an unconscious or disoriented state, sometimes missing clothing or with scratches
3) Found dead, but apparently of 'exposure' (no obvious trauma or injuries)
4) Found dead, with injuries: missing clothing, broken bones, as if mauled by 'some animal'
5) Found dead, skeletal remains and clothing only: again, missing clothing, but missing bones as well (sometimes the only bones found are a skull fragment, a tooth, a bone or two, and tiny bone fragments - freakiest one was the young man found: his pants were on the ground as if he'd just melted on the spot - one leg had a leg bone in it, the other didn't, his shoes were missing and there were foot bones in his socks)
There are enough similarities between these various types to suggest they are part of the same or similar phenomena (i.e., high strangeness). The first could be permanent physical abduction. The second could be 'faulty reinsertion'. Same for the rest, but how to explain the different conditions of death? Were the people in #5 'eaten', then the scraps returned? What about #3 and #4? Why keep some bodies permanently and return others? Did they die before or after 'reinsertion' (assuming these cases all involve that, which seems probable given the circumstances of how they're found, and how they disappeared in the first place), or after?
Doesn't really bear thinking about, but some probable answers based on previous sessions on this topic could be put forward. Yeah, people could be "eaten"/torn apart by predators for specific "components" and the rest returned for some reason. I mean, do people always take their Mcdonald's trash home with them? Other possibility is a "technical glitch" with the transfering back "flipping upside down and inside out". Sometimes a sock and shoe is the only mistake, sometimes it might be a bit more than that. Mauled by some animal, yeah, you can imagine. Dead of exposure...glitch in the transfer maybe. Unfortunately, you have to let you imagination go to nasty places to figure this one out.
rymw said:Thank you Laura and crew for the very speedy transcription. In view of what the Cs have said and the recent emphasis with the FOTCM, do you think some of us FOTCM members, no matter how obscure and small in collection in distant places like where we are should start corresponding to each other or something as a form of preparation for the drastic changes coming up?
