    We have a 50/50 chance that the bail out will work,,,LOL,,It will be years for this to work or for us to recupe are 401 if it does work???Has anyone come up with a way to talk?? CB?? Ham the best for long distance,,,Is there a call sign that has been placed for info?? As we would all hope for better!!! I dont see this getting better before it gets worse....May are higher power look over us,,,,,,Texas

    One thing you gotta understand about statistics is that there is always a 50/50 chance. If you think about it, either it will work or it wont. That is 50/50.

        Ham radio is the best for the distance but have to be licensed to operate and takes a tall antenna as well.

          OK OK I know my last post was a wisearse one...

          Frankly, I would not say that the ideal amateur radio antennas for DXing are "tall" at all. Rather, I would say HF using dipoles would be the easiest to set up, move, and tune. Even with CB, personally my base antenna is a double bazooka set up as an inverted V, it can be rigged in minutes in the field if need be.

          Different modes of radio commo would apply to different situations.

          For example, you could use XRS for ultra-short-range, secure comms. 49MHz low power for very short range, unsecure comms. FRS/GMRS low power for slightly longer range, unsecure. MURS for short to medium-distance...and on and on and on.

          But HF amateur allocations rule for DXing, no doubt.

            Fellow Survivalists,

            Rusty is right and I should hasten to add that anything can be said to "work," depending on your purpose. Concentration camps "work" if your purpose is to enslave and murder people.

            The only thing this "Stimulus" act will "work" to do is take wealth from the producers (businesspeople and workers alike) and give it to the non-producers. And to finance this "Stimulus" act will require one of three things: Taxation, Inflation (and thus debasing) of the currency, or borrowing of money...and borrowing money is only prolonging the inevitable moment when we have to pay with either taxation or inflation.

            And the only difference between taxation and inflation is that taxation works out in the open and takes your money flat-out. Inflation is much more insideous and slow-building at first and works without you even knowing it until it builds up to where $1 Million Dollars won't buy a loaf of bread.

            Both taxation and inflation destroy wealth and currency and the incentive to earn them, and they create an atmosphere of lawlessness and economic chaos. If not stopped, taxation and inflation eventually end with a demagogic "man-on-horseback" and his henchmen coming to promise order, peace, land, bread, followed by chains of slavery.

            This, folks, is what we are up against eventually. The time is now to prepare.

                    I have a 5 billion mark note from Germany during the 20s. If you want to see what may happen to our country take a look at Zimbabwe.

                      The time has come for everyone to come together in mutual understanding that we are facing the greatest downfall of human civilization since the fall of the Roman Empire, or the Mayan's, or the Aztec's, the Mongol's, etc, etc, etc. The list goes on and on.

                      The only real difference between what's happening now, and what happened way back then is, it's happening EVERYWHERE.

                      When the government knocks on your door demanding your freedom, you have only 2 options: 1, give up, or 2, die a martyr. When you allow yourself to be forced to follow the guidelines of a corrupt group of people, you allow yourself to give up your freedom.

                      Take a stand. The money in your wallet, bank account, IRA's, Bonds, Stocks, and 401k's is not yours, and never really was. When you are able to realize that money, currency, is not something you need, then you will be able to take one step closer to freedom.

                      Paying taxes has been mandatory for thousands of years, governments have just made it easier by developing something you can use to pay it with; currency. Your employer must report your earnings to the IRS so they can tax it. Working "under the table" is not illegal because there's no way to track it. (references: HERE and HERE)
                      When you stop using their form of tax payment, you no longer pay taxes. (income definitions: HERE and HERE)

                      Since the government decides the value of currency, something like goods or services only have value attached to them deemed appropriate by the government. When you stop using their currency, you eliminate their tax.

                      So, to sum it up:
                      Find other ways to live your life that do not include the use of currency. Destroy your credit cards and grow your own fruit and veggi's. Find a "shade tree" mechanic who will work on your car in exchange for something like a bag of blueberries, or a meal. A neighborhood kid might mow your lawn if you teach them how to play the guitar. The choices are limitless, but if you can find a way to do it, then you'll far better off than those who rely on money as a way to achieve their goals in life.

                        A barter system is a better system overall.

                          Very nice Visine,
                          I once traded 4 hens, 25 bales of hay ,2 saddles and weekend of labor for a '76 Dodge truck that lasted 7 years.It was still just as good a truck when I traded it for $800.
                          Nice post!!

                            Infaltion money

                            I don't think the US will ever get to 10, 20, and 50 TRILLION dollar notes like the gov't in Zimbabwe recently released. I also don't invision 230 MILLION percent inflation. THat was the last it was measured which was sometime in January, I guess they gave up trying to keep abreast of the inflation rate.
                            We very well might see dollars be worth mere pennies though. Time to consider barter items along with silver and gold rounds(notice I didn't say coins).
                            This post was in response to Barkingowl. He did say may when referring to Zimbabwe.

                              When the time comes a license is a mute point...if you have a radio learn how to use it....learn how to build the appropriate antenna for the desired frequency....will you be concerned with a gun license or any other for that matter....licenses are the medium for the government to generate revenue....learn how to use any tools that will ensure your survival.
