This is the reason why the PTB will not collapse world economy. People will learn to be independent.
How I wish they give us reason to be self sufecient

I'm seriously gonna invest in Keshe Plasma Energy Units for my family. We're working on implementing thru 3 generations in our family that want their retirement in peace. It can only be sold to a family member as Great-Great-Grandfather stipulated during 40 acres-n-a-mule Sharecropping during KKK de-construction in the south. The military and business and agriculture skilled retirees that love gardening, in the family, will help pass the knowledge to those interested. Funny thing is now, my family sees what I do/live, and are very interested.

PTW are going down peacefully by clinging to old pollution stocks, trying to force humans to breathe more and more carbon dioxide while volcanic and factory industry spews even more.
Boy they must be stuck in a polluted Mr. Burns "Groundhog Day.":facepalm:

I'm gonna try reinforced domed concrete or TeePee'd structures that are partially below ground. We'll see how I can design it. I'm good at this also and it evidently has passed to a 2nd son only he's gifted in pc engineering and design. Who'da thunk it:highfive:

I been in free energy for a very long time. Keshe has all the indications of a fraud. IMO

This is Heart warming. I was there in 1997. People went about their lives while coping with great poverty and shortages, a bit like a war footing.Their agriculture, health system , education and State survived the shock. One can argue about peak oil, the viability of huge low grade reserves come into play if the oil price stays high, together with oil from coal, and renewables. So on a global scale a steady increase in oil prices would facilitate a plethora of alternatives and need not be a great shock.

However the Cuban experience is also a story of how a stoic society coped with a great reduction in its BUYING POWER, and in this respect it resembles a currency collapse. The Soviet Union provided technology & Oil in exchange for Sugar etc. That trade disappeared overnight. We are seeing a shift in power away from the USA to China, and currencies will shift too, America will have to export its way out of its mess, with a much lower Dollar. If the dollar drops alot, USA will discover how self sufficient it really is. We cannot guess when China will stop buying American Debt, but one hopes that the people of America will learn to pull together and keep their institutions intact through any shocks.

It is very helpful that they do have cheap domestic oil!

Castro, please die! The man lives in a palace while the common people live in misery... misery, that's how they "survived peak oil".
