Worst case I will become a squatter on a parcel of Bill Gates or Ted Turners farmland. The global population of parasitic billionaires should be massively reduced. They will realize all the people around them are employees, loyal only to a paycheck. Their assets will be up for grabs.

We are coming up to an event horizon. There is a good chance that the future for most of the world will be much brighter, or at least there is an opportunity for one. If I was living somewhere in Europe, I would consider emigrating somewhere safer.

I am 40% allocated to energy and mining stocks. The rest is liquid waiting for a big drop, then I will go all in.

All information and all markets are being massively manipulated. Government economic data is a joke.

The Empire is on the ground, flopping around and screaming. Putin and Xi need to put a bullet in its head.

Ha, ha - Melinda Gates also mentioned at some point that they've hoarded a lot of food reserves, so that'll be a good idea too.

Just-a-Note. re: Alexander Hamilton

Yep. A real 100% bonefide bastard. Born & raised by a well-known group of 'slave traders' in the Caribbean. A Hamilton was 'groomed'(both in the classical and(!), modern-sense', with a parasitic-knee jerk reaction to the 'patrician class'. I could go on and on and in more detail among other things 'the Federalist Papers' and...'central banking' but, I'll stop now.

Yep. A real bastard... >>>

"Alexander Hamilton (January 11, 1755 or 1757[a] – July 12, 1804) was a Nevisian-born American military officer, statesman, and Founding Father who served as the first Secretary of Treasury from 1789 to 1795 during George Washington's presidency.

Born out of wedlock in Charlestown-Nevis, Hamilton was orphaned as a child and taken in by a prosperous merchant. He pursued his education in New York City where, despite his young age, he was...."

From what I've understood from research, A. Hamilton would fit-in perfectly with the *Village People* ;) among other places, Greenwich Village. "Swingin'...with/@the YMCA, as the UsA was a-startin'".

Yep. "Party-time Everyone...New Yaark New Yaark...New Amsterdam... New Amsterdam".

Anyway, Thanks Alex! For those that can, I'd surely would definitely 'take Alex's Advice" regarding trends. At my age however, I find bein' multi-skilled in gardening/food production, able to fix/repair anything in my house and bein' a born 'sharpshooter' on most things-a-movin' both animate/inanimate is certainly a +++plus.

Wealth preservation is important for those younger than myself. Statically-speaking, at my age, I have a 50-50 chance of having another birthday. The 'Wisdom and Insight' I've achieved regarding *birthdays* is the following; "We All are born in our "Birthday Suit" and, at the mortician's, We All are in our 'birthday cloths/suits'. Before being 'drained of our last, existing, Life-Blood'. The Vampire-Class have takin' alot. But, in My case, they ain't got what that wanted. The most precious of All. *My Soul*.

...cheers and enjoy your friday/weekend Everyone. btw, Thanks for ..."puttin' up with Me" Alex.

Best Regards to All ;) :)

I always thought Hamilton was a bona-fide bastard. I'm no longer sure of that. He was at the forefront of the great chasm between the occult oligarchy based in London and the force of resistance (American independence movement) and he lost. He was killed in a duel by Aaron Burr. Burr was an agent of the occult oligarchy and it was they who shaped the history of events. Also, Burr was definitely the scoundrels' scoundrel who, after killing Hamilton escaped to London to a life of degeneracy and depravity under his patrons' protection. A kind of Jeffrey Epstein of his day.

Brother Alex, actually at my age I could easily say...'My Son'.

Yes...."the Question". The Question... I love this short-piece.; i.e., the '*Present* ie. meaning the "Now" and/or gift of Life)*/i.e. the 100%-opposite of the transliteration of [e]vil/*Present* of Life' : vs [e]vil.

Yes.

According to Nepolean Bonaparte, "History is the story agreed upon by the Victors". So.

Please take 6 minutes and understand, the paramount existential conundrum.

Hamilton? His true-story? Egaltè. Who knows, 2023?

Please take 6-minutes to understand..."Meet Joe Black - Bill meets Joe" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9ofIY3lvng

...

I'll get-back-later.

My-way-of-thinkin'-is..."How the h_ll am I suppose to know the 100%-truth?".

Regards and...watch this short piece: Anthony Hopkins & Brad Pitt.

A *Classic*!.

Hi Alex :)

Pas encore si vous plait.

Do Me/Yourself/...Everyone, a 'service' ie. Please watch, yes watch, the full film w/ Anthony H & Bad P. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=meet+joe+black&atb=v224-1&ia=web

I bought the film ca. 20 yrs ago. 'Funny thing was', Sweden's most popular artist-musician., from *Roxette* was ...at the Åhlen's store at Sergel's Torg the same day. btw. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=roxette&atb=v224-1&ia=web

I was working on an 'independent service project' there for a few weeks as a paid-independent contractor with 'security clearance'. I remember very clearly He(PG) had 2-bodyguards with him. I saw PG on the 'backstreet'. I only..'smiled' and...said nothing. I never ever ever(!) 'by-any-means...show....any 'Oh. Oh. Oh.' Nope. It's called 'courtesy and general respect ' for....a Human-Being. Even ...'celebs',

Anyway, the 3 were... :) & ;) , easy-peasy if You-know-what-I-mean.

So.

Enjoy the complete film. asap. I've learned... a lot. i.e. the *existential question*. Not JP Satre nor Sam Beckett. I'm sure You will find the 'theme', important & rewarding. And, even More...'Mon Dieu'. Yep0. It's 'powerful'. ps. Just make sure You take care of Yourself. Without that, Well....

Regards from Mälardalen Sweden

Hi Christopher, I only understood a part of your message. Please feel free to state clearly what you mean, I don't think we're being censored here. I did watch "Meet Joe Black" ages ago, but I probably didn't catch its deeper meanings at the time (I do remember, however being annoyed at Brad Pitt and the girl's overacting their roles; I also remember thinking that the idea of death falling in love with the annoying chick was dumb). Anyway, did not catch what you meant by Roxette guy, what's Ahlen's store or who PG is, nor who "the 3 were"

...a couple-of-days ago, I sent a...'kind'a cryptic message' to Alex Christoforu, regarding, well, now-I'll-say(publicly)...*sleepers*/sleeper-cells. Yeppp. Father was in Manhattan workin' with the Rockiee's at 530 5th Ave(Bank of New York building). His older brother was, head-sales engineer for IBM during the 1960's-early 1970's. Father did...Johns Hopkins, the Wharton School, ph.d-studies at NYU having a full-time executive job, a few floors under JD Rockieee, and had 3 small kids :) father didn't wanna do more regarding his circumstances in the early 1960's.

Anyway. Hope all I wrote helped. Lunch is now, lukewarm. Thanks Alex. Appreciated. B Safe!!!

...the *Roxette*-guy was...un-assuming, normal, relatively relaxed. About20-30 meters North where I ...'met him' was...exactly-the-same place where...the *Stockholm Truck-Massacre* took place in 2017 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Stockholm_truck_attack

Yeppp. Just like the *Nice in France 'Truck Killings'*. cough-cough, wink wink. no Ctv:s there either except for 1, maybe 2. Theatre d'Absurd, or..maybe...dumb-luck. Perhaps, jollywood ;) ? :)

...continue shortly. My hot lunch is gettin' cold... ;) ...

The film/theme regards ...what-is-the-most essential in Life. Money means nothing(!). Integrity means *Everything*(!).

dictation only>>> the *Big Question* for All-of-Us is..."why am I here". The 'existentialists' tried thru the 1950's-1960's-1970's, give some kind'a 'raision d'etre', i.e. 'why is it all the way it is'. The 1980's gave the whole western-World....'money-money-money' alá ABBA(Sweden)...it's-a-rich man's-world, after *Waterloo*-song, i.e. a Eurovision-Winner btw. (btw, met Benny Andersson from at *Rosenbad*/pm's-house-in-central Stockholm, the morning after Olof Palme was assassinated. Among others)....

continued shortly...

Hi Lubica, yes, I'm afraid i agree with you. The formulation, "to profit from the collapse of Western civilization" is unfortunate as it implies taking advantage of other people's misery. A better formulation - and one I think is 100% legit, would be to simply think in terms of preserving your liberty, maneuvering space and preventing the wicked degenerates from taking power over your will. Also, this should be a personal back-up plan, kind of like a seat-belt or a lifeboat. In the bigger scheme of things, we do collectively need alternative solutions for all of humanity.

Luckily, we have just paid off the mortgage.

We also have very little money, so any financial impacts are likely to be minimal.

Food and fuel will be the only trouble.

I have to wonder what slow roasted billionaire tastes like.

There should be enough to go around.

After we run out of billionaires, I personally recommend switching to a diet of politicians.

Thank you Alex.....but I have to admit that I have a problem with the question: "Is there any way to profit from the collapse of Western civilization?” If we keep thinking in this way, well......it is hard to think about an alternative. And I sincerely hope that we can find some.
