New Madrid in our Lifetime Is Guaranteed

You will see the New Madrid fault repeat during your lifetime. You heard it here.

They know it is coming and are trying to cover themselves by warning people to prepare.

In 1812 the 8.0+ quake that struck knocked down a lot of log cabins, depopulated whole colonies and settlements, toppled mountains and turned high altitude cliffs into new waterfalls from subduction. When I was stationed at Fort Riley in the Army I took a great interest in the history of the New Madrid fault and read a lot about it in 1984.

Today a quake of similar proportions would kill several million people and turn many major cities on the fault line into rubble. It would be easily the worst natural disaster in all of recorded American history. The aftermath alone would be barbaric as a quarter of the United States might lose power, heat, drinking water and food for an extended length of time.

The geologists believe that the next one is long, long overdue. This is usually an indication it will be a doozy as stresses build up on that continental plate.

The stresses aren't just building up in Kansas.

Canaries in Coal Mines

They keep dropping off their little trapeze bars inside their little cages dead as a stone and the political pundits keep telling us we are in recovery.

Don't see it but the essence of decline is loss of the ability to respond to feedback from the real world as described by Oswald Spengler, Edward Gibbons, Lothrup Stoddard.

Europe on Brink of Massive Revolt Against Globalism

They can't keep destroying their own countries if they are no longer in office.

Nobody really knows where Angela Merkel came from or how she managed to get elected. Like Barack Obama, her past is a closely guarded secret. We know she was a Stasi informant and worked for the secret police in East Berlin. Somebody must have noticed her at some point and decided she had great potential as a possible political puppet.

Farmbot Genesis - Ultimate Garden Automation

The perfect setup in every way except cost and materials.

Version 3 of my permaculture lab is going to be this plus built with scavenged/ubiquitous parts that can be found everywhere. That stepper motor and rail frame is not as complex as you might think. The raw parts are cheap now on EBay. It needs to run on cross-platform source code that can be compiled for any platform and run through the web server logic.

All that thing needs is a monitor display in CD-OS, solar power and fish nutrients tank and shelter dwellers will have arrived. The food will practically grow itself.

Farmbot Genesis is a good step towards the ideal subterranean garden system.

Paul Keating Was The Last Intelligent Prime Minister That Australia Had

Time to bow out of America's War Party

I have been following the former Prime Minister for years and it is obvious he was the single brightest man in that office in the past half century.

Australia needs to get a foreign policy of it's own. Not simply act as a satellite of the United States and be dragged into an endless series of meaningless wars. World War III is coming and Australia either needs to get ready to fight it with nukes of its own or officially become a neutral nation and benevolent towards all. Doing nothing has not been an option for a long time but Australia is good at letting decades slip by without taking action on anything. We need leaders, not these drunken caretakers who squat in Canberra at present. Leadership. The real thing. Not cheesy substitutes or weaklings who act as agents of George Soros. Leadership. Male authority with martial virtues.

"Australia needs a foreign policy, and it needs it urgently. Australia does not have a foreign policy," he (Keating) said talking in Sydney on Tuesday.

"We both need and deserve a nuanced foreign policy which does take account of these big seismic shifts in the world. And we can't ever be caught up in some containment policy of China ... to assist the Americans in trying to preserve strategic hegemony in Asia and the Pacific."

Can we elect this guy again? The bums since his time in office are a succession of born losers and they are going to get everybody in this nation killed. I mean it. They are assisting in genocide. If Australia stays on its present course this will be a radioactive plain of cobalt salted earth where nothing is going to grow for a thousand years. That means I am going to have to improve my food storage plans considerably.

Francis Fukiyama Was Wrong About Everything

I can remember back when "THE END OF HISTORY" was published and decided that almost all amateurs, laymen and historical buffs must know far more about human history than the inner circle of academics at the West's "educational institutions." For a book like this to be lauded and celebrated as a fundamental insight into the modern world would only be possible for a bunch of infantile, childlike men who had never held day jobs, still lived in their parents garage and had never kissed a girl or been punched in the face. It didn't seem possible that any man who knew anything of the historical record of the past 5000 years could possibly think this book was anything but gibberish. The ironic subtitle implies that the author had read THUS SPAKE ZARATHRUSTRA and possibly he did - unfortunately he understood it not at all. Nietzsche's "last man" is a fool who will repeat all the mistakes of the past without exception.

Fukiyama was just the last gear on a wheel that always comes around again. As long as Homo Sapiens exists, you will never see an end to war. It defines him. Without it he barely has any substance at all. As Nietzsche said, this rude camp would otherwise have no dignity at all if the martial virtues were not become necessity with them once again.

Let me quote the great epistemologist directly and you tell me if you think Fukiyama comprehended the text.

For those of you reading the text for the first time, I will explain it as concisely as possible - the conditions of peace breed bad character in men and makes them into complete fools who think themselves wise. After this they lose every single thing their ancestors built up and established for them.

Lo! I show you the Last Man.

"What is love? What is creation? What is longing? What is a star?" -- so asks the Last Man, and blinks.

 
The earth has become small, and on it hops the Last Man, who makes everything small. His species is ineradicable as the flea; the Last Man lives longest. 

"We have discovered happiness" -- say the Last Men, and they blink.

 
They have left the regions where it is hard to live; for they need warmth. One still loves one's neighbor and rubs against him; for one needs warmth. 

Turning ill and being distrustful, they consider sinful: they walk warily. He is a fool who still stumbles over stones or men! 

A little poison now and then: that makes for pleasant dreams. And much poison at the end for a pleasant death. 

One still works, for work is a pastime. But one is careful lest the pastime should hurt one. 

One no longer becomes poor or rich; both are too burdensome. Who still wants to rule? Who still wants to obey? Both are too burdensome. 

No shepherd, and one herd! Everyone wants the same; everyone is the same: he who feels differently goes voluntarily into the madhouse. 

"Formerly all the world was insane," -- say the subtlest of them, and they blink.

They are clever and know all that has happened: so there is no end to their derision.

People still quarrel, but are soon reconciled -- otherwise it upsets their stomachs.

They have their little pleasures for the day, and their little pleasures for the night, but they have a regard for health.

"We have discovered happiness," -- say the Last Men, and they blink.

- THUS SPAKE ZARATHRUSTRA, Friedrich Nietsche

More Post-Apocalyptic "Dead Hand" Gold From Dima Fedotov!!

This is sort of the upbeat conclusion to his amazing short film "Fortress" featured here previously on Vault-Co. The ending is quite beautiful and less grim than the previous film.

Putin Goes Full LARP for Fallout

I think they're gonna be okay.

The rest of the sheeple, not so much.

Comic Relief Posing As Tragedy

All fake. 

So fake it is an embarrassment.
