To put it in a nutshell, Neighborhood21 is a grassroots movement of clear-thinking people who are aware that we are living in uncertain times and, rather than depending on others, are taking action to insure their own security.
Neighbors around here understand that it’s time to become self-sufficient and rekindle the wisdom of our pioneer ancestors.
We don’t waste our time hunting down the “crooks” or get distracted by the endless debate over who is to blame for the ongoing global financial meltdown. Instead we focus our energy on finding solutions; solutions that will help us to become independent and fearless.
“We have it in our power to begin the world over again.” – Thomas Paine
Neighborhood21 is a community whose members are actively taking responsibility for their individual destinies. It is NOT an online “chat room” where members waste each other’s valuable time, complaining about our difficult times or making excuses not to take ACTION.
In Neighborhood21 we are always for the solution and never against anything or anyone.
The global financial system has failed and we are witnessing its collapse. Most of us have become much too dependent on this fragile system and have never considered the importance of having a back-up in place for life’s necessities.
We are not waiting for “them” to fix the problem, be they government, big business or any other group of which we aren’t members. Rather we are rolling up our sleeves and creating our own community, our own markets and our own sustainable future. That’s how our great grandparents did it and we can too!
If our republic is to survive, it’s time for each of us to take back control. Neighborhood21 is a communication hub for those who recognize the urgency of becoming independent while helping those less fortunate to do the same.
Neighborhood21 is a resource center. Here you’ll find critical information regarding self-sufficiency and survival.
- Want to start a Victory Garden? You’ll find all you need to know about organic gardening.
- Searching for information on wind or solar power? Look no further than Neighborhood21 for the answers.
- Curious about Herbal remedies? Learn all about them from your neighbors.
- Perhaps you’re curious about cold weather survival? The information is easy to find in Neighborhood21.
Time to go to work.
First, let’s analyze our situation. Regardless of the spin heard from many in the media, the global financial crisis is unprecedented in history and has the potential to cause unimaginable repercussions. The one thing that is certain is that life in America is about to change and we dare not rely on this system for our survival.
It is likely that we are beyond the point where the situation can be resolved on a national level with central planning. Our ONLY hope is to pull together at the grassroots level and find local solutions.
Neighborhood21 has been created as a tool to aid in this goal. This is the people’s central communication hub. Only the people have the power to make the changes necessary to improve the health, safety and security of our communities.
It all starts with YOU. Once you have insured these things for you and your family, the burden of helping you will be removed from your community and the entire community is better off.

Study: Even Cockroaches Get Fat From Bad Food
Cockroaches may be tiny enough to slip through the smallest of cracks, but just like humans, these eternal pests can get fat on an unhealthy diet. As part of a decade's worth of research on cockroaches, Patricia Moore of the University of Exeter studied how female cockroaches change their mating behavior in response to their diet, specifically what they eat when they are young. "We already knew that what they eat as adults influences reproductive decisions," Moore said. But just how the food they consumed early in life shaped these decisions wasn't known.
The Only Two Reasons to Own Gold
I always get a real kick out of hearing that “the consumer is 70 percent of the economy,” mostly because it gives me a chance to heap ridicule and scorn on whoever said it, and I say that the consumer is 100 percent of the economy! One CAN say that, with or without the heaping of ridicule and/or scorn, but at least with an arrogant and smug authority that comes from 100 percent certitude, that “The Mogambo is 100 percent certain that the consumer is 100 Freaking Percent (100FP) of the economy!”
Out of work pilots: 'Will fly for food'
SEATTLE -- Two out-of-work Seattle-area pilots have tweaked the panhandler's refrain to "Will Fly for Food." Thirty-four-year-old Chris Campbell of Seattle and 35-year-old Steffen Schmidt of Snohomish stood Thursday along a main commuter route into downtown Seattle with signs that read, "Two Laid-Off Pilots" and "Will Fly for Food."
