Recent developments in Kazakhstan, are a warning to fans everywhere. I live in the United States, which has a history of religious tolerance and respect for human rights, but in recent years, from 9/11/01, to be exact, there was a systematic attempt to dismantle federal civil rights basic, even here. In examining the content of the Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act and several other similar laws have passed since 9/11/01, it is clear that the framework comprehensive legal now is to maintain a good state of martial law.
The power authority to declare martial law is based entirely in the hands of a man, the president. The Supreme Court or Congress can intervene or to discuss the situation for at least 6 months. Needless to say, the civil rights we take for granted today, including freedom of expression, religious freedom, and everything that could not be guaranteed that situation. When the President declares martial law, as in the case of a "terrorist" attack, a natural disaster.
Even problems in the form of demonstrations against the government or civil disobedience, FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) would have the power to seize the farms, businesses and all state facilities and local government and staff. It Curiously, 9/11/01 is the first day of a long and difficult Rahu Dasa, the new U.S. figure Jyotish. Mars joins Rahu House 12. July 7, 1920, 16:39 Philadelphia PA.
Even without a military or natural disaster, economic crisis and possible collapse owing to the scarcity of oil is at hand. Peak oil, the state where the oil is produced peaked U.S. in the 70s. Global oil peak, according to most experts, is likely to occur in or around 2010. This means that by the end of this decade, we'll start to see declines in oil production, even in the Middle East and other major world producers.
The result is a sharp increase of fuel prices and price increases in almost all categories. When we examine closely the economy, finds that virtually all goods and services we consume is somehow directly or indirectly dependent on oil, whether for production or distribution. Like all oil queues start down the slope, we started seeing the collapse of savings conflicts and a greater dependence on oil remaining reserves of oil in Venezuela, North Africa, the Middle East, Mexico, Russia, etc.
In fact, in most countries of the U.S. invasion Afghanistan and Iraq are considered as nothing more than a stroke of some of the largest oil deposits in the world. In the United States tells us that these wars are "fighting terrorism". In any case, the vast amount of energy spent on these wars will only exacerbate the problem.
In the time left before the crisis is extremely important that supporters of the plan, individually and collectively, act to achieve a high degree of self-sufficiency. If the preaching of Krishna consciousness is to continue after the fall, the devotees should be in a position of strength and relative comfort. This means you should be planning and installation of energy renewable food crops, with the means of obtaining potable water when the network fails, and dozens of other important considerations.
Obviously, properties rural shelters will be better and that's exactly why Srila Prabhupada urged us to buy and develop. The rural ashrams offer the best opportunities to produce food, develop sustainable energy systems, eg solar, wind, biomass, and allow followers also a refuge from the chaos and violence is likely in some cities.
However, as illustrated by the developments in Kazakhstan, we need to carefully consider exactly what areas of the improved survival of the posts advanced. In a sense, outside of India could be regarded with suspicion Vaisnava and therefore a possible threat. Areas dominated by religious extremists, probably will be among the worst places for devotees to seek refuge. Also, areas that have a history of racial and ethnic tensions could be dangerous. Devotees in some rural districts have grown very good relations with local authorities and, in my opinion, this can be very important in a crisis situation.
If facilities are already hostile to the devout community, it is likely that time constraints will only increase tension and hostility. Therefore, the relationship should be a high priority on the list of the necessary preparations for the coming crisis.
I think it's important to start serious preparations for its survival and spread awareness Krishna in the post-oil now. Our GBC, temple presidents, and senior devotees have to understand that world events are going and lead the devotee community in this effort. Without this important role in our communities, preaching and efforts of the lives of many devotees would be endangered. I appreciate any and all comments and correspondence on the subject. Pranam Dandavat all Vaishnavas.
