Thanks to you Mike and Carolyn for a great show. As it gets down to the wire I am reminded of those, me included, who would have been anxious to enlist in both our civil war and WW1 out of fear they would be too late and miss the whole show. I think I'll hope instead for a miracle but go and load up another truck full of storable food. I get $20 in nickels every time I go to the bank thinking they will retain value regardless of the dollar's fate.
With all due respect, you need to stop with the songs and focus more on the issues affecting both the US and the world. I understand music is important but your time on air is very limited and I am sure more of your listeners will appreciate if you dedicate the show to current events and future planning. In these days of economical uncertainty it is important to stay focus on ones strategy to surviving the coming collapse.

Hey Shaun, I know what you mean, it is lonely when no one is listening. You are looking for like minded souls.....and right there, that is the interesting bit.....we are far and few between per head of population. I am always astounded how many people do not 'get it', other than my husband and brother ( brother struggles) I cannot talk to anyone. I gently tried to engage my dear old neighbors, who think I am 'quaint', planting fruit trees and veggies, but they will not entertain the difficulties ahead. I know this does not help per se, but in this you are not alone and it is very frustrating to say the least. So hope Carolyn can help you get connected....best of luck.
"it is lonely when no one is listening. "
I'll bet it is!
Good Evening Michael, and yes it's been a mad, bad week. Interesting to note that the terrorism in Norway was carried out by a right wing faction of terrorism, which is, by the way, escalating, especially here in Europe.
Carolyn is correct in stating that this is not the whole story and as it unfolds there will be a broader frame in which to view the world. The expectation that terrorism is automatically linked to factions within the Muslim world, is and has always been an ignorant viewpoint, nurtured and expounded by the mainstream media...most of which is controlled and orchestrated by the controllers, such as Murdoch!
As always, Michael, a thoughtful and provocative show. Entertaining and intelligent!

Yo Det. Ruppert (doubled thought about writing your title as Dick as it may've gotten misconstrued in this being a series of tubes and whatnot which apparently could've led to not all information being received in a timely fashion - does that make sense?),
Long time listener, have written a few times. Ima hopin fora nanswer oner nexa radio show, plz. This is not a joke: Besides your hand, a cloth, some water and/or a spray bottle, what is the best post-collapse alternative to toilet paper?
Your most humble servant,
Adam Slabyrinth
P.S. Hey The Harv,
Your comment sucks. I'm just sayin', maybe do your own radio show which don't play no music or maybe join collapsenet where music won't interrupt your weekly news. Better yet, read the _______ news yourself. 'Evolve or perish, grow up or die' - MCR

I see our "friends," Satan and Lucifer, er, Foster and "Slabyrnth," the Beavis and Butthead of the Blogosphere, are yet again here, front and center, snarking all the way. You two snarking s**t- heads obviously have nothing better to do, and certainly NO facts, than to waste your time and ours in ongoing lame-o weekly attacks on MCR, and it is always just more of your snarking B.S. Why don't you snakes crawl back under those rocks you came out of, since you have shown us clearly that you're both about as upright as pit vipers, like your Boss, Cass NAZI Sunstein, Master of Scrambled-Brain Disorder Disinfo. YOU AND YOUR ILK ARE PSYCHIC GARBAGE, WRAPPED IN HUMAN DNA... A REAL WASTE OF "GOD'S" TIME.
Yo lollapalloozie,
What gives, eh? This is the first time I have ever written to MCR on PRN and have been a long time follower and supporter of his. How can you say I've written here before? You have no evidence, because there is none and to go along with that you claim that I am the one with no facts. I didn't claim nor infer to have any facts anyway and only gave my opinion about The Harv's comments, which are adolescent in my opinion, and I asked a question.
My silly writing was just for fun and meant to get a chuckle, you know, to lighten up the day (except for my jab at The Harv - I'm sure he's just young or immature in making such a request and should lose no sleep anyway. And also I made fun of Ted Stevens, but I am certain he is used to being made fun of that thing I made fun of.). The silly writing coupled with the silly last name. C'mon, get it? See, no harm intended. OrrySay atthay ymay itingwray asway unprofessionallyway encryptedway.
I think you misconstrued my calling of MCR as a Dick. You think I was implying that he is a dick as an insult, but I was referring to MCR as a Dick like in Detective, like in Det. Ruppert which I wrote, like in how he described himself in Collapse. Remember that part? Oh wait, you probably didn't see that part because it was only on the bonus features of the DVD which you probably haven't seen because you never paid for it. I will admit, I have no facts to back that up. Now you can accuse me of saying things with no facts and maybe try reading and understanding the entirety of what someone writes before just seeing Dick at the top of a post and going off from there.
Who's Cass NAZI Sunstein, Master of Scrambled-Brain Disorder Disinfo? No, I won't look it up - you tell me. I don't appreciate being called all those nasty things, except for maybe being called Lucifer. That's pretty cool because because I love metal. Why is God in quotations? I don't believe in a supernatural, but you don't see me asking MCR to tone down the spiritual stuff, so maybe keep your theology to yourself.
Also, my post-collapse toilet paper alternative question is quite serious. Post-collapse, I do not want pruritus ani or to smell like shit or to have shit covered hands or shit covered underwear which will destroy my underwear in a very short period of time and then have no underwear and be miserable as rhythms-with-cluck so much so that I'll get to the point that I will kill the first person around me who misconstrues what I say just so I can have their freakin' underwear and to shut them the frig up. Two birds, One stone.

@Adam... That's just one of Mike's alter egos, attacking with spittle what he cannot defeat otherwise. Don't worry about it. He does this all the time.
Cass Sunstein is the current administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. Though, how HE is relevant is anyone's guess.
And I think he was calling Me Lucifer, and You Satan, though I'm not quite sure. Personally, I prefer Beelzebub.
WOW, is this site ever infiltrated with all the snarking sh**t-heads that got kicked off collapsenet.
Snarkalynth, yo feels like slime. That's all yous worth, asshole. go suck yo daddy Cass' dick, yous feel mo betta dat waaeee.

YOU ARE THE "DICK."

YOU'RE ABOUT AS SERIOUS AS BULLSHIT EVER WAS, ASSHOLE.

YOUR MOTHER IS A MORON-- OBVIOUSLY YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABORTED.

Forever in Your Service,
WHAT A CROCK OF PURE SNARK. YOU DON'T MEAN IT AT ALL, FUTHERMUCKER.
THIS IS SURELY NOT YOUR NAME, YOU LYING FUCK: Adam Slabyrinth
P.S. I should've applied myself to being a satirical writer.
YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH. GO FUK YERSELF.
@Slabyrinth Your name sounds like a Harry Potter character. Have you seen the finale-I liked it. Anyone who quotes Leonard Cohen is a friend of mine. Am I to understand that you are pro-life? So am I. I like this quote, from the same album (The Future, for those who don't know):
"Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in"
-Leonard Cohen
Re the show: Stop calling that guy "Christian!" No Christian does that. Jesus does not approve. Why do I feel a little put off by all the attention this tragedy in Norway is getting? Stuff like this happens all the time in third world countries. Why does it seem that some lives are considered more important than others? (White and western).
@Slabyrinth Re toilet paper: I've been saying that pumpkin leaves will be the toilet paper of the future-the stuff grows like lightning and the leaves are big and slightly prickly, as opposed to smooth and less effective. Of course, I've never tried it. That's research I would rather not do, though someone should and let us know their results. Any takers?
Our caps-loving, barely coherent newcomer has unfortunately bypassed all lesser stupids and leaped straight into the black hole of "beyond ridicule".
Mike, I like you but your band sucks.
