Ever think the show and people were selected to discredit the movement? Get some people that are way out on the fringe , show their homes and let them talk.
Might be an agenda, JMHO

Sadly, we only have 40 TV channels, and this isn't on one of them :laughing:

Anyway, reading up on a US economic web site about the latest news from Greece (sadly the European press is still in denial) I came across an interesting item on the US black market.

Guest Post: Americans Will Need ?Black Markets? To Survive | ZeroHedge

This is only looking at life during / after a financial breakdown (a bit like the Ferfal Argentinian link) and not full nuclear war.

The gist seems to be bartering - i.e. working with your neighbours, and away from FDA / IRS etc - will become commonplace.

Talking of FDA - are they really as bad as the article says? They seem even more **** than our DEFRA.

Anyone ever watch TV series they had on a few years ago called Jericho??? I hadn't been paying much attention back then, but it seems as though they wrote the show off of articles like these.....does kinda make ya think......

My wife and I watched Jericho up until it was cancelled....We have often wondered if they were not pressured to cancel the show. Could it be the government became concerned it would give people ideas....? I'm just sayin'

I prepped by buying a home in the country within the first blast radius of dc. I don't have to worry about supplies and the such.... just kiss my wife and watch the light show

That works if it's a nuclear war...but for an economic collapse, you'd be right in the middle of it...Baltimore to the east, Washington to the west (or south).
Have a bug out bag ready...and an AR-15.

Speaking of Y2K, we had a nice garden in 1999. I was giving lots of veggies to my neighbor. One day he jokingly said "Shouldn't you be saving these up for Y2K?" to which I replied "All I have to do is keep you fat."
thats so funny:laughing::laughing::laughing:

I liked the first season of Jericho, the second was rushed to "end" the season. I loved that the fans of the show sent in tons of peanuts to protest the cancellation.

Poor ratings...that's all.

Most likely, and even based on some the comments on this thread, the ones are the 'fringe' are most likely to talk. Some of the people shown have been adamant about raising awareness/training others so naturally they are going to want to be on the show.
