It what ways can Permaculture come to the rescue in this unfolding catastrophe? Now is the time to be developing cheap, sustainable strategies that can be deployed quickly at the local level on a wide scale: food, water, energy, shelter, health. Grow. Teach. Share. Permaculture-up, folks!

"A
series of recent studies conducted by the Pew Research Center shed new
light on the scope of the economic crisis in the US and the level of
hostility the majority of the American population holds for the US
government.
Wide
layers of the population, who have seen trillions of dollars funneled
from the public treasury into the coffers of Wall Street executives
while their own living standards have been assaulted, their jobs
slashed, their children’s schools closed, and vital social programs
such as Medicare cut by billions of dollars, have no faith in the US
government to secure their most basic social needs.
The
corporate-controlled news media, along with the major institutions
overseeing the nation’s educational needs and basic food and medical
resources, are considered corrupt and untrustworthy, contributing to
the suffering of millions.
President
Barack Obama, continuing to pose as a populist man of the people when
he finds it necessary or beneficial, stands exposed as the chief
representative of the interests of the American ruling elite and the
standard bearer in the assault on the working class.
The
restructuring of society taking place, in the direct interests of the
corporate-financial elite and at the expense of the working population,
is not occurring unnoticed. The American and international working
class will inevitably find itself drawn into struggle against the
present, untenable form of social organization."
