Get your friends together and pay off local merchants SBA loans (thereby mitigating those pesky interest rates, the profits for the banks).
-Before you buy something, get on your locally produced smartphone and make sure the mfgr isn't listed on the big board.
-Read labels to be sure the product is completely made in USA.
-Don't buy a new car or house.
-Don't use electricity made by fossil or nuclear fuel.
-Use only tools made in your local blacksmith shop.
-Cancel your IRAs and savings accounts (a large source of capital managed by fund managers).
-Don't use checks or debit/credit cards (again, interest).
-Watch only local TV (most of the networks are owned by large corporations, most notably GE).
-See if you can get your county to move to a barter economy.

Where did this come from?
I just witnessed an atrocity on TV. An advertisement by Time-Life Inc for a set of DVDs called Apocalypse:World War II.
They claim that you'll never get closer than these films. It highlights soldiers being killed close up, their bodies falling in the snow, the machines grinding them into paste and the tools of war, filled with men, being destroyed. These scenes are described as "Educational", as if thousands of extras are going to teach you something, then get up and go home home to dinner.
It's a lie of course. These heartless profiteers are riding the bleeding backs of real men to their bank accounts.
I know there are very few WWII veterans left.I hope none of them see this. We all have too many ghosts wandering around in our minds as it is.

An Explanation
My last entry (Here I Come) was intended as a warning for those who use their real identities on social networking sites. Providing personal information adequate to individually identify you is extremely risky. You paint a virtual target on your back.
For example, I did a "Friend Search" for Folsom, CA. Within 2 minutes I found a female target. I learned enough about her to set up her schedule, she has no family, lives alone, she's prone to late night partying and of course her real name and pictures.
Imagine I'm a predator and she's my selected prey.
Protect yourselves and your families. Try to be as anonymous as possible except to your real friends. Cyberfriends don't count.
