I suggested setting up your own business as a necessary step towards taking more control over your life, with an Internet business being much more within the realm of possibility than a brick and mortar business in a fixed location. An online business can choose which currency to accept and even establish bank accounts in other countries. As long as what is offered online can be delivered, I'm thinking information products here, and a market exists for said product, there is no reason to be tied to any specific individual country. With more control over your life, you will better be able to create a resilient lifestyle. That includes the possibility of mobility while maintaining an income. If you wish to consider the fallout of a full-blown currency collapse then we might as well plan for the wide-spread loss of connectivity and massive server failure. When the collapse becomes global then we will all be thrown back to being hunters and foragers. The issue today regards how to best prepare. I know how difficult it is to wrap your head around how truly massive the current system is and how long it will take to fully unwind. That was the error I made in the 1970s. Additionally, the international oil cartels and banking systems have a huge interest in perpetuating the status quo as long as possible and they have all the resources in the world at their disposal. i suggest now is the time to prepare and that preparation starts with exercising a measure of self-determination over your income.

Even if starting up an Internet business, wouldn't we need our own brand of currency, as that's one of their greatest instruments of control? I don't think most of the general public is clued into any of this, and they probably expect everything to just go on and on. In other words, their conditioning to the system as it is now set up would probably make them less apt to come together as a community or see any other way. And if there are so many legal restraints against being independent as there seems to be, how is that to be achieved? It appears to me that the international oil cartels and banking systems are just using the U.S. government as their enforcement arm. Sorry, but this all just looks quite dismal.

I was concerned that it may have been too dark but that is the risk I run attempting to tell it how it is from my POV. It is inspiring that you found the positive in it. If more of us can cross the line from scary to exciting we all stand a better chance. I appreciate the encouragement. liz, thanks for the positive feedback.
