TEOTWAWKI:
The End Of The World As We Know It
The End Of The World As We Know It
Its hard to see when you're living
through it.
Many people envision TEOTWAWKI as some kind of "Mad Max" movie or
maybe a catastrophic event like "The Day After Tomorrow".

Many people envision TEOTWAWKI as some kind of "Mad Max" movie or
maybe a catastrophic event like "The Day After Tomorrow".
But yet, its here. All around you.
The world of tomorrow will not be the
world of today.
Every day, the world we knew is a little further in the
past, and something radically different is getting closer.
TEOTWAWKI
has happened. Over and over, all around the planet.
It's reach
spreading like a cancer. Most people never noticed it.
But now its in
the faces of Americans, and its hard to ignore. Here's a preview of
what we can look forward to.
Hashima, Japan.
An entire island lays abandoned. You'd think that with the value of
land being at such a premium, that would be unthinkable. Yet, here it is.
Yashima, Japan.
An entire mountain top city lies abandoned.
Shops and stores
still stocked with goods for people who will never come.

There are cities all over the world that lay abandoned,
from France, to Russia.
From Italy to the Ukraine.
From Taiwan to The United States.
Centralia, Pennsylvania
is one of the most famous.
An entire city is rapidly vanishing as nature reclaims what man had created here.

An entire city is rapidly vanishing as nature reclaims what man had created here.
Mostly reduced to two reasons.
Man made disaster or natural disaster.
The man made disasters are primarily economic or environmental.
Today, we are faced with some serious economic problems.
For the people living on the Gulf Of Mexico, that is compounded by a
serious environmental component, namely BP's oil spill.
As the economy has continued to slide since the 1970s, more and more places
around the world's industrial centers have fallen silent.
People left.
Places were forgotten
For example
The decline really made itself noticed
when, last year, Flint Michigan
announced plans to abandon parts of the city.
The cost of maintaining those areas was too much.
This year, we've already seen Maywood
California basically strip all of the services away, and farm the
police and maintenance out to other neighboring cities.
Now, TEOTWAWKI is expanding its reach beyond urban centers.
Road To Ruin:
Towns Rip Up The Pavement
Its
becoming increasingly difficult for small municipalities to raise the
funds necessary to maintain roadways, and other services.
Competing Currency Being Accepted Across Michigan
Barter
and hard metals now accepted in exchange for goods and services,
squeezing out the once all powerful Federal Reserve Note.
Walmart
Abandons Livingston
Corporations scale back and pull out of economically challenged areas.
In the past, there were places for people to go to.
To find housing.
To find work.
To start over.
Their world ended, but a new one began.
Will that be true in the future?
