Back From A Break
It’s been quite a long gap in posting, but for good reason, I think. My family, for the first time in many years, took a long holiday break from work and school. Though I had every intention of “working” on WCN.net while away (it’s more a labor of love and concern than true “work”) I decided a couple days into the vacation to consider it work and stay away from it. That, in my opinion, was a good decision, as it allowed me to soak in some life, recharge, and watch the world more as a participant than as an observer. I believe the insight I gained from this helped me better understand what’s going on, and it gave me some ideas to share with you in the coming weeks.
Once I got back to the “business” of WCN, I saw some things that need to change with the site. You’ll start to see some of those changes gradually over the next month. The big change is of perspective. It occured to me that this site has been mostly about the possible branches on the path that our economy and resulting society could travel. WCN.net is going to start being more about the path we’re on and what you can do to survive, thrive and be successful in our new world. Make no mistake, we are in a world that’s much different than the one we were living in 2 years ago.
We are living through a societal paradigm shift that is changing almost everything about the way we live in the U.S. Part of that paradigm shift is that sites like WCN.net, Kunstler.com, Financial Armageddon, When Giants Fall, WorldNetDaily, Urban Survival and others are “suddenly” seem less directed at the “paranoid fringe” and more for everyone. Those sites mentioned haven’t changed their direction, many people are simply seeing the light. Events have played out in ways the writers and editors of those sites (and many more, by the way) predicted. Those who previously scoffed are now getting it, and in many cases, preaching the gospel of dramatic change.
The tenor of WCN.net won’t change. The changes I’ve been writing about for a couple years now are happening, and instead of engaging in the tempting “I told you so” that would be easy to write, I’m going to transition to writing more about what preparations and activities could help ensure survival and success in these difficult times.
