What I can do is set up an earth battery to play with.I use a lone copper pipe  about 60 feet from a metal fence to the south of it.So that means the copper is north of this fence.The fence is about 150 feet long and I could set it up about the middle of that fence.And see what happens.i expect to get a voltage just over one volt.Like 1.02 which can be multiplied higher If I want.I played with small earth batteries in texas.So a sixy footer is a big one to me.I have about 20 solar panels to put up around the house.As long as there is some light they would generate some power.St.louis has a lot of rainy days overcast too.triffid

In texas one time I read 9 volts coming off of a solar panel I put on the kitchen floor.the only source of light was the one in the kitchen that I could switch off and on.So these soccer field lights would give you some power if you placed a solar panel underneath them.They are bright enough to do something.Not OU but free to you if you tap into them.triffid

  Several people have tried that type of wire output that is mentioned above, is basically from a Tesla patent. But is the small amount of voltage, with no current really going to cut it? All it can do it to light an led, or run a calculator.  I think the time or money is better spent on solar panels, if you can afford them?  They are now making nanosolar panels that are a thin sheet, but they are not giving those away,  either
  There seams to be no easy way to get there, yet.  Those in control of the resources have made sure of that.
  As far as the economic thing goes,  they will just keep printing out more paper money, so the banks will lend that out, and continue to keep people as their slaves, in even further debt, as they know they are just buying time.  For what?  That is like putting make-up on the face of a corpse.   
   What can we do?   Prepare for the worst that is yet to come?

Time to take some rash measures ourselves.I was thinking of buying a taser.Maybe I still should?
I have a golf club beside my bed now.

I get paid the 3rd.  Assuming!!! I actually!?!?      get paid to my bank account?  Then I'm going to buy a lot of storable food.  I'm also thinking of a combat-style, K-bar style knife.  There's a war surplus store a few miles from where I live.  There's also edged-cutlery sellers in San francisco's Chinatown and elsewhere in The City.


Fortunately, I live in a  secured, locked high rise, even if it's in a slum full of what amounts to 'desparados'.

I met a homeless man today who worked for a church that laid him off.
He never got unemployment because the church was exempt from paying into it for him.He did cleanup for that church.I asked him if he had family? he could go to?He said they had their own problems.Go figure.triffid

I do figure: I'm on my own, just like the church custodian.  I'm "making the best of a potentially bad situation," as they sometimes say.

This should tie into the posted idea nicely:
