Sure this is a pretty good article ever read it?

A question to consider is why; if a near-controlling entity wants to expand, would it allow the economy to make a down-turn? The answer seems simple. It is only when there is loss, panic, or confusion can power and control be usurped. If economics is indeed a science, then it can be manipulated

Classic fascist maneuver: Wilson did it, Hitler did it, Mussolini did it, FDR sure as hell did it....

I can always get water from the pool or the nearby pond, but then how do you make it safe to drink?

A very dear friend of mine invented this. It is unique from anything else on the planet. Not sure how to make a clickable link but you can cut and paste.

...a whole lot of Leftists got very involved in public schools...

Yep, and it was planned. Search "The Frankfurt School" with NEA to see. Then with "Columbia University" (can we guess who went there?).

If questioned, the answer is obvious: “We’re going green!”

yep - the "greener", the better.

I don’t believe that hyperinflation would be restricted to USD. All major central banks hold substantial dollar reserves. Increasingly, they are diversifying into commodities and metals. The euro is not better off than USD with free spending countries such as Ireland, Spain, Greece dragging down the relatively solvent Germans. As usual, the UK has a higher ratio of debt to GDP than the US (although, we now have a greater slope upwards). Japan also has a tremendous amount of debt relative to GDP after years of Keynesian economics.
Whatever happens, the entire world economy will be affected and calls for one world central bank and global governance will ensue. We don’t have much time to right the ship. The establishment of an effective third party only weakens our resources and wastes precious time. That’s why our first goal should be to get rid of the most pernicious elements of our government. With single-minded determination we must DEFEAT THE DIMS.

While I agree with the idea we are in deep do do with the economy. I think the OP is a little tinfoil in nature.

Take this for instance:

“You could go to a fine restaurant and have an expensive dinner and order an expensive bottle of wine. The next morning that empty bottle of wine is worth more as scrap glass than it had been the night before filled with expensive wine”

I don’t really think anything like this happened. The whole economy would only last a couple of days at that rate. Who would be going to a fine restaurant one night with an economic crisis so bad that the glass from an “expensive bottle of wine” they had that night was worth more than the entire product the night before. Seriously, what did the economic crisis just pop up with no warning while they were on the way to the restaurant? I realize this is an example but I think its a gross exageration. In reality it would be impossible for this to happen. Hyperinflation happens but not that fast.

"Believe me, I'm not planning on running anywhere. The only reasons I go to Costa Rica is because they have great beaches, warm people, and God help me, I love red beans and rice (with loads of habaňero salsa and fried plantains) for breakfast, along with the world's best coffee. Followed by a nice Cuban cigar..."

You just made me hungry. As to the cigar, are the Cuban ones all that great?

Can you install a hand pump on a well?

There was a hand pump on the backyard well on my great-uncle's farm back in the 60s with another in the kitchen. I don't even have a well - I'm on 'city water'. I guess I'll be buying a rain barrel in the spring.

There are lots of sources for hand pumps on the web for both deep and shallow wells.

Classic deception isn’t it people are brainwashed to believe liberals can’t be Fascists but in reality nothing could be further from the truth! Witness obamas payoffs from the big banks and companies like GE!

Costa Rica is supposed to be nice.

Costa Rica is teetering on the lip of communism.

My husband and I lived there for 6 months while attending language school. ( We lived with Costa Rican families) Part of my program was to read every day and discuss with my tutor the editorial pages of the major Costa Rican newspapers.

We were there during the voting for the TLC ( NAFTA) with the United States. The pro-capitalistic side won but very very very narrowly. I was **shocked** at the outright blatant communist propaganda in the newspapers and on the TV.

Costa Rica could switch to a Chavez or Morales-type government in **one** election cycle. That is how powerful the communist forces are in Costa Rica. I think anyone who invests in a business or buys property in Costa Rica is NUTZ! The left there **HATES** Americans.

The fall of the Soviet Union did not mean communism was defeated. It's like a cancer. We merely had a temporary remission. The communist cancer has not only always been there eating away at the heart and soul of our nation but it is worldwide!

I have a questions. Can you install a hand pump on a well? My well’s pump is underground and when the power fails, I have no water. I can always get water from the pool or the nearby pond, but then how do you make it safe to drink?

We have a deep well hand pump in case there's no electric. If you need a pump, or info about a pump, try Lehmans Non-Electic. They sell to the Amish, and we've bought a lot of stuff off them to get set up for off-the-grid. They have high quality goods you can't find anywhere else.

You can scoop small amounts of water out of a narrow well neck by using a can attached to heavy string. It helps to put a stone in the bottom of the can to keep it upright.

(Boil water for at least 15 minutes to sterilize it if you must use pond water etc. A magnifying glass, or even a pair of reading classes, will help start a fire in an emergency.)

Guy’s probably right although I think the hyperinflation is a few years off. BUT, I think it would be good to quit blaming just the democrats and the liberals. Conservatives and the GOP have had a big hand in making this mess too, to wit:

Tax cuts without spending cuts. NAFTA. All the free trade b*llsh*t which sent jobs overseas. Big over-focus on the rich and big business to the detriment of the country as a whole. Deregulation of Wall Street. etc.

The reason I mention this is that nothing will ever get fixed if we sit around blaming the other guys while ignoring our own role in this mess.

parsy, who is also hurt by the truth

The wells could be for geothermal heating/cooling.

One of them probably is for geothermal, but, as a former neighbor who ran an HVAC business found out in the massive storm of March 1993, it won't do them much good in the depths of winter here. We're on top of the Cumberland Plateau and we tend to get fairly major ice storms every year. Power outages can and have lasted for weeks.

When I designed my house I intentionally went with a passive solar design. If the sun is out my house stays 70F on the coldest winter days. In case it is cloudy and cold, I installed radiant floor heat that has a wood stove loop, in addition to the LP fired boiler. The floor heat takes two small pumps to run, both together are not quite the load of a 60 watt bulb. It can easily be run off of a battery with an inverter for weeks, or off my generator. It'd take a pretty big generator to run a dual stage heat pump when line power is not available.....
