We can do without the Internet. We have done so before. However, refrigerators, television, radios and telephone are so much apart of our culture that the biggest problem we will face when the electricity goes out is culture shock.

That scenario is armageddon.

It motivates me only to pray that it never happens.

I had the honor of working with some of the finest linguists, Morse operators and fellow analysts in the world in the early 70's....I have every confidence that graduates of Goodfellow and the Presidio of Monterey (DLI)are still up to the task of monitoring a couple of rogue dictators in N.Korea, Iran, and Pakistan...

I suspect that if the Zombie banking system were to collapse/on the brink of collapse, then the global reset/reboot button may involve a CME Carrington level event where all those financial electrons disappear into the Eye of Harmony. eek Now that would be a terrible coincidence. wink

North Korea is certainly a dictatorship, but national elections were held in Iran and Pakistan in 2008 and 2009.
