Crash Course by Chris Martenson

"The Crash Course has provided millions of viewers with the context for the massive changes now underway, as economic growth, as we've known it, is ending due to depleting resources.

But it also offers real hope. Those individuals who take informed action today, while we still have time, can lower their exposure to these coming trends -- and even discover a better way of life in the process. We'll show you how."

MY THOUGHTS

Trends are occurring out of control that we, as individuals, cannot solve in their entirety.

The ECONOMY with its massive debt, now over $22 trillion, up particularly since 911, but with its seeds planted before that fateful day, will eventually destroy the dollar's worldwide reserve status. With it, Americans will have to self-finance the government operation now currently financed by foreign nations who must use "petrol-dollars," which requires purchases of oil in U.S. dollars. Russia and China have already abandoned the petrol dollar gimmick. See "Petro-yuan helps Russia & China dump US dollar in oil trade" [ https://www.rt.com/business/422472-russia-china-petro-yuan/ ] [ See Debt Clock - http://www.usdebtclock.org/ ]

The Era of PEAK CHEAP ENERGY in the U.S. and worldwide is about to come to an end. Oil is to the economy and blood is to the body. The grand wish of kicking the oil and other carbon habits and move to renewable sources of energy ignores the fact that oil and other natural resources are needed to fabricate solar panels, windmills, et al. and this fact will be learned once the calamity pans out.

The ENVIRONMENT has been vastly destroyed by American progress and copied by the rest of the world once America wired the world with the Internet. The world wants to live the American dream and they have switched their emphasis for its citizens. Modernization has affected the environment with increased overseas industrialization at the expense of mixed farming. Mono crop agriculture has replaced mix farming in a thrust to feed the world's population now at 7.6 billion people and growing. Fish quality has been affected by plastic being dumped in once pristine oceans. Eat fish and you might be eating plastic too.

In summary, examine all parts of the CRASH COURSE to understand the trends in place and make preparations. The members of this sustainability board are doing their part to prepare for the future, as best we can. With your annual growing and preserving food for the winter, Derrick, you are leading the league for survival of a calamity.

Ignore individuals of the past; they cannot put food on our tables in the future.
