In 1965 President Johnson launched ‘The Great Society’ (mass welfare) while simultaneously launching the Vietnam War and maintaining the Cold War.
Due to mass spending on the Cold War, Welfare and Foreign Aid, by 1975, the US national debt was increasing by $100 billion every year.
It was enough to alarm economist Paul Erdman to write a book called “The Crash of ‘79“ in 1976, predicting the bankruptcy and collapse of American Government and society.
In 1980, our national debt reached $908 billion under President Carter.
The magical approach to the unpayable $1 trillion mark inspired economist Douglas Casey to write a book called “Crisis Investing” that same year.
In 1981, our national debt reached the unimaginable $1 trillion mark for the first time under President Reagan.
Reagan’s massive increase in US military spending and Foreign Aid while cutting taxes and borrowing made us reach the $2 trillion mark by 1985.
This alarming state of affairs made economist Ravi Batra write “The Great Depression of 1990“...in 1987, predicting an economic Armageddon similar to that of Erdman’s and Casey’s.
In 1994, Brooksly Born, head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) found out the big banks were now trading in something called “Over the Counter Derivatives” (OTCs).
OTCs were basically junk derivatives which ‘derived’ their value from pipe dreams and flowery words.
The trade of OTCs was occurring between the big ten banks secretly and without any accountability.
Born’s CFTC saw OTCs as secretive, destabilizing, illegal and dangerous.
In fact, she found few people knew what OTCs were in spite of the financial system being swamped in them and the fact that OTCs had caused the collapse of Bankers Trust.
Born’s CFTC merely began investigating OTCs when the entire weight of the Federal Reserve, the 10 largest banks in America, the Banking Lobbies and the US Congress was thrown on top of this (responsible) bureaucrat
The SEC, the Federal Reserve and the Department of the Treasury all put through hysterical phone calls predicting the end of the economic world if Brooksley Born continued to ‘interfere’ with the trade of OTCs
Born saw things differently, and stated she would continue to look into them.
Now the banks called in the big guns - the US Senate.
The Banking Lobbies proceeded to sic their dogs in the Senate on the unfortunate, well meaning and concerned head of the CFTC, Brooksley Born.
The Senate quickly called for special hearings to question (and skewer) Born.
In the 1998 hearings, Alan Greenspan (Federal Reserve), Robert Rubin (US Treasury), Larry Summers (US Treasury) and Arthur Levitt (Security and Exchange Commissions) all took turns “testifying” on how Brooksly Born was about to destroy the entire American economic system by “interfering” (actually all she was doing was investigating) OTCs.
Then Senatorial slaves like Senators Phil Gramm and Richard Lugar took turns alternatively smiling warmly at the “testimony” of the money masters and scowling at Born every time she opened her mouth while figuratively breaking a chair over her head every time they spoke.
Why, poor ol’ Brooksly Born was being treated like public enemy #1 and a threat to national survival!
You can imagine the trauma on this poor woman, who was basically having the Federal Reserve, the Department of the Treasury, the SEC and the US Senate all pummeling her...for basically doing her job and trying to prevent illegal and destructive banking practices.
Needless to say, she did not last long.
She was dismissed and a Goldman Sachs employee put in her place.
Shortly after that the financial institution Long Term Capital Management (LTCM) also collapsed (due to OTC trading) and Greenspan told Congress to bail them out (which they did).
On her way out, Brooksley Born intimated to those who would listen that the system was a house of cards and that it was going to collapse.
This was in 1998!
But the system did not collapse...not yet.
The resilience of both the gigantic Euro-Japanese-American economies (and the Third World - to which the result of all their economic largess was piled on, along with the exclusion of China and Russia from the world market) kept the entire system going for a while longer.
Indeed, what all these economists: Erdman, Casey, Batra, Born, failed to predict was the resiliency of an international economic system centered in the United States, ,willing to use the entire world to salvage (or better said prolong) its economic viability of this one nation over all the others.
But what is inevitable, of course, is the final result.
Any nation submerging itself in debt will collapse.
It is not a matter of how...but when.
As you might have noticed, the ‘when’ has now arrived.
These economists were not fools or fear mongers. They saw the end of a viable national economy and they called it. What they did not see was the immense international financial system which would keep the United States from falling...temporarily.
How did it do this?
As I have said before, the entire product of economic misery produced by the non-viable American economy was passed on to the Third World.
America stopped producing, started importing, and in doing so, started exporting all its inflationary dollars to the outside world.
The latest (and final) scheme was the selling of trillions of dollars of US bonds to China.
The Chinese now seeing the end of the dollar, have begun cashing them in...and threatening to demolish the dollar.
In these dire economic times, when we finally see ourselves heading over the waterfall everybody saw us approaching since 1976, it is instructive to see Casey’s vision of what an economic collapse would look like.
“Surely this destructive political game must be nearing its end...But once Washington mandarins discovered the miracle of the printing press, the quick road to economic ruin had been paved.”
He expanded further by writing:
“Hyperinflation will automatically bring with it the death of the dollar, which in turn will leave millions of people impoverished. A devastated people can hardly be expected to sit back calmly and starve to death, not when political demagogues will be ranting and raving that “the rich” are responsible for everyone’s suffering. The obvious result of such a situation can only be chaos and a collapse of the democratic system as we know it, which must lead to the rise of a police state.” (p-2)
WAGE AND PRICE CONTROLS
“future controls will be far more strict and comprehensive - and will include profits. Jail terms will undoubtedly be imposed for non-compliance with the spirit, as well as the letter, of these laws; examples will be made”
FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS
“As the national balance-of-payments deficits reach new highs, people will have to pay a heavy tax or get government approval to travel abroad...a limit will be placed on funds that can be spent abroad, and transfer of all funds abroad must be both reported to and approved by, the government. Foreign bank accounts will become illegal.”
SHORTAGES
“Industry will grind to a near halt because of draconian controls at home and the inability to import raw materials from abroad. The situation will approach wartime proportions, with rationing, black markets, searches, seizures, and confiscation sure to follow.”
UNEMPLOYMENT
“As it goes above ten percent, the government will resurrect the WPA and similar agencies to get people back to work - building roads that no one can afford to drive on.”
BANKRUPTICES
“Many banks will default, though at first the national government will bail them out. Later it will simply let them go under and then replace them with new federal agencies. Corporations will go belly-up on a massive scale, although once again the government will bail out those which are most inefficient...or most in the “national interest.”
STOCKS
“Many stocks will become worthless, along with bonds, and it will prove impossible to float new stocks or bonds. Brokerage firms will collapse. Long-term capital markets will dry up as inflation reaches about twenty percent.”
NATIONALIZATION
“The Federal Government will nationalize large bankrupt industries to get them back in production; they will go back into production, but at about the efficiency level of Congress, Amtrak, or perhaps the Post Office. Massive taxpayer-funded aid will be lavished on those who deserve it the least.”
SOCIAL SECURITY
“[banking collapses] leaving those who relied on them [401Ks] destitute. Social Security will at first be financed out of regular taxes after it has exhausted its own resources, then the system will default on its benefits...Of course, the government will [then] replace it with a new scheme.”
*Doug Casey “Crisis Investing” (p14 to 15)
Remember when I said all the economists CONTINUED writing about the untenability of our economic system every decade since 1976?
Well, economist Larry Burkett wrote “The Coming Economic Earthquake” in 1991, and he had the following descriptions of what a collapse would look like:
“The newspapers and the evening newscasts all carried similar headlines: “Nation’s Fifth Largest Insurer Collapses,” “First National Bank of Los Angeles Fails,” and “The Nation’s Banking System is in Trouble.”
The demise of Northern Mutual left nearly $20 billion in unfunded policies outstanding. Within two days three more California banks holding loans to First National filed for bankruptcy protection. Congress demanded that the president create a special fund to protect depositors’ policyholders, but...no more Federal funds would be used to underwrite failing institutions. The FDIC was unable to cover any further depositors’ losses.”
“In the next three weeks, seven states declared their insolvency, defaulting on their bond payments to creditors. Nineteen states stopped or greatly curtailed their welfare programs, and virtually all the states reduced their staff to the survival level. “
“[foreign companies] made good their threat to shut down their manufacturing faciities in the US. Two days earlier Congress had overridden
the President’s veto of the internal Tariff Act, levying a 50 percent excise tax on al lgood in the US by foreign-owned companies.”
“Congress assumed the posture of a government at war and in a further escalation of the trade war, immediately voted to freeze all foreign investors’ assets in American companies.”
“Americans quickly discovered that nearly 70% of all businesses were dependent either upon foreign sales or supplies.”
(Burkett 194-197)
“Inside the United States, panic dominated the dwindling banking community as foreign lenders demanded that their dollars be converted to the new world currency.”
“Overnight the dollar dropped to one-tenth of its previous value on the world market; America was bankrupt.”
“Inside the US those ho had any cash converted it into anything they could buy, from antique art to land.”
“Americans flocked to the stores to buy whatever was available before before prices went up further. This increased demand simply drove the prices of available merchandise out of the reach of all but those with abundant supplies of money.”
“Crime became so rampant in the major cities throughout the country that the National Guard was called out to patrol the streets after the federally mandated ten o’clock curfew.”
(Burkett -199)
So there you have it, the experts’ opinion on what an economic collapse in this country would look like.
My point in this essay?
Simple.
We knew, the economists knew, a whole lot of people knew the economic system was not tenable in 1976.
From there they continued warning us from 1980 to 1987 and beyond in a myriad of books which began coming out in the late seventies and continued to be published every decade.
- “The Crash of ‘79“ by Paul Erdman (1976)
-"Crisis Investing” by Douglas Casey (1980)
-"The Great Depression of 1990“ by Ravi Batra (1985)
-"The Coming Economic Earthquake” by Larry Burkett (1991)
-"The Real Crash” by Peter Schiff (2012)
-and so on and so on, warnings given to the public by dozens of well informed economists writing books and screaming that our economic system is untenable and heading for destruction
In reality, and apparent to all the people in the know, The American (and the world) economic system was as non-viable in 1980 as it is today.
It was kept alive by economic scams which basically passed on our economic bad karma to the Third World.
Now that scam has been played out.
And now, after 45 years of economic abuse, we are finally getting ready to reap the whirlwind.

Americans are Now Impoverished Peasants
The United States of America is now an oligarchy.
It’s being admitted by economic experts the world over.
America’s population are now being treated like peasants by an over-class that controls the Federal Government and a sub-over-class that controls the states.
The Constitution is being treated like a piece of discarded toilet paper.
Through its acts, the Royal Government is openly and de facto proclaiming that American peasants no longer have property, family, privacy or rights...or even rights over their own bodies.
How long before the government gains arbitrary authority over our ‘right’ to live? (off with his head!)
Now...
...let’s look at the state of the Oligarchic Kingdom of Amerika, shall we?
Why Americans are Peasants:
-The peasants can be ordered to buy a good or service by the Royal Government (Obamacare)
-The peasants can be forcefully vaccinated (and are therefore not in possession of their own bodies)
-Peasant children can be confiscated by the Royal Government without proof or trial
-Peasants must submit to nude x-ray photography or groping of their private areas in order to board planes
-Peasants can be permanently denied the right to fly at any time with no reason, no oversight, no review and no trial
-Peasant complaints about taxation go directly to the royal tax collectors, who have the authority to act as judge and jury over the peasants
-Peasants are no longer supplied with any proof of their vote, but must vote using electronic voting and tallying machines which leave no paper trail and no proof of tally
-Thanks to the above, the peasants now have their leaders chosen for them by their overlords, even though they are told they have practiced their 'right' to vote
-Peasants children must submit to forced labor in order to graduate from high school
-Peasants no longer have any right to privacy, with information from their laptop cameras, game consoles, smart meters, emails, browsing history, purchases, driving locations and physical location all available to the Lords at the push of a button.
-Peasant dwellings can be broken into at any time without warrant or warning by the royal guards
-Peasant homes and property can be confiscated if mistakes are made on property tax or illegal drugs found (or planted) in them
-Police (Royal Guards) now have the power of judge, jury and executioner over any peasant. Peasants are expected to grovel and submit at the foot of the Royal Guards, the representatives of the Royal Government.
-Big banks and corporations who happen to go bankrupt are now rescued with money forcefully collected from the peasants
-Peasant retirement accounts can be confiscated at any time by the big banks, government and the Overlords in order to settle Royal debts
-Peasant children are no longer taught to read, write or think, but merely to comply with the ideologies necessary to be obey the Royal Government.
-Peasants are spied upon, identified and tracked through cameras on the street at any time
-Peasants cannot regularly gather in groups larger than five people
-Peasants are not allowed to regularly pray in groups at their homes
-Peasants have no right to free speech when it comes to certain state designated subjects
-Please note: Arrogant American Peasants have already been punished by exporting all their industry and jobs to China and left with pathetic service jobs
-Peasants are no longer allowed to have a full time job with which to support a family, but only part-time pittance occupations providing enough to rent a room and feed only themselves (with the Royal dole taking care of their pitiful families)
-Please note: As further punishment for their arrogance, American peasants are now given the same rights and standing as foreign illegal aliens (perhaps this will teach them their true station in life)
-Peasants will no longer be allowed to buy ammunition (as the royal government is now pre-purchasing all ammunition before it is even manufactured)
-Peasant farmers and ranchers are now being forced off Royal land through environmental laws, water cut offs, strangling rules and regulations and through direct confiscation of their land and cattle by the royal guards
(which will soon make them unable to feed themselves and dependent on Royal corporations, food imports and welfare for their sustenance)
-As of now all Government Bureaucrats and Congressmen are EXEMPT from the laws passed for the peasants (such as Obamacare)
-Peasant access to the Net will soon be limited by waveband monopolies, which will designate which websites become accessible and which do not.
-Very soon, the peasants will be left without property, making them true wards of the ruling Overclass.
The Royal Government of the Kingdom of America looks forward to a transformation of Americans into a subsistence agricultural peasant class under the iron hand of environmentalism.
Thank you for your cooperation.

What Is Wrong With Americans?
What's wrong
with the American people, more particularly, the American worker?
The American
worker I saw several decades back was a dynamic go-getter and
opportunist (today these are politically incorrect four letter words).
He was either
working hard with the thought of getting ahead or he was looking for
new ways to get ahead.
Getting ahead
was what this country was all about.
Now this
so-called American Worker looks like some alien life form.
I call up the
local used sports equipment store and offer the kid there $150 off the record to put together
a treadmill for me.
The kid at
first responds enthusiastically, then flakes out.
I go to
Craigslist to contract not one but two local mobile mechanics and one
shop mechaninc to install a fuel-saving device in my car...all three
refuse on grounds that it isn't approved or safe or this or that.
I make it a
point to go to a local floor shop to have new linoleum tiles
installed. The installer starts asking questions about how old my
house is, and what type of linoleum I have. When it turns out the
linoleum might contain asbestos, he not only runs scared and refuses
to do the work, but threatens to report me to the local environmental
authorities.
I call up
another guy who is a solar-panel expert, but who has no license due
to the outrageous licensing fees the government charges (and we call
this a 'green' government?). He timidly says he will install
absolutely nothing, but will stand there and tell me what to do
because he is so terrified of practicing his trade without a
'license.'
I call up an
electrician to install a simple electricity meter at my fusebox, so I
can monitor my electricity use. He says he will not install an
'electric meter' because that is the realm of the local electric
company.
Finally, I need
a toilet reinstalled, so I call up a plumber who says the local
shut-off valve is frozen, and that the outside key valve is without a
lever and stripped. I call up another plumber and he says the same
thing. The toilet is left sitting in the middle of my kitchen.
Confronted with
all this frozen initiative, I had no recourse left.
I make it a
point to support and contact local businesses for any jobs I need
done.
But the results
I got were zero.
So what did I
do?
I recurred to
the only dynamic, go-getting population we seem to have left –
Mexicans.
Not Chicanos,
mind you. The last three Chicanos I hired seemed to be pumped up on
testosterone and severely lacking in skill or will to get anything
done.
Mexicans.
A Mexican put
together my treadmill.
A Mexican
mechanic installed the fuel-saving device into my car without comment
or complaint.
A group
Mexicans installed my linoleum tiles quickly and efficiently. When
they ran into the asbestos tiles, they had no problem – they just
laid the new tiles on top of them instead of removing them.
I had a Mexican
install my solar panels – a jack of all trades who seems to have
done a good job.
I had an expert
Mexican electrician install my own electric meter at the fuse box –
yeah he charged me an expert fee, but he got the job done.
Finally, I had
a white guy install my toilet.
I started going
after small one or two-man operations and I scored.
But as it turns
out the hard working young man who turned off the water and installed
my toilet (where the other two plumbers could not) was the son of
immigrants from GERMANY. So this guy was only a first generation
American - brought up by Europeans.
So you see, the
American worker is not what he used to be.
Instead of the
dedicated, hard working man he used to be, he has turned into a
bureaucrat, a complainer, a wet noodle, a flaker and a useless boot
filler.
I have never
heard so many American merchants retort to my complaints about a
product or service with something about 'I do this for a living' and
'I have a family to support' as if that excuses their bad service.
Instead of
going out there and making some money, he has become accustomed to
putting his hand out and coming up with sob stories to fill his
pantry.
You know who
the hard working and earning people are not?
The Mexicans.
You can feel
the dynamism with these people.
They are out to
make a buck and have you call them back for more.
They are hard
working, they have skills, they have manners and they charge
reasonably (not the $200 one local plumber charged my just for
showing up).
Most of the
ones I met have green cards, some others might have been illegal, I
don't know, but I do know one thing – they get the job done!
I have bent
over backwards to support local American businesses what I have
gotten in return have been hold ups, excuses and threats of being
reported to the government for this or that violation combined with
expensive costs.
No thanks.
I am not a
cheap person, I am just a person who wants things done when someone
agrees to do them.
All I have
gotten from American workers lately have been excuses and threats.
The last round
of contracts struck me as strange.
What the heck
is wrong with us?
And then it
struck me.
We are not only
lazy...and greedy...and bureaucratic...but afraid.
We can no
longer install toilets, linoleum, electric meters, solar panels or
assemble treadmills because we are struggling with our lethargic
laziness on one hand and our sheep-like fear on the other.
The American
worker is becoming more and more of a liability instead of an asset.
Its the
Mexicans who are working hard, earning hard and spending hard
(believe me, I am not proud saying this).
I had
restaurateur friend tell me the other day how upset he was with the
local sheriff (Arpaio) because he was scaring his (Mexican) clientele
away by persecuting illegal immigrants.
Just sitting
down at a pizza place, restaurant or buffet, and what do you see?
Mexicans and
large families sitting down to eat and paying for it cash.
Go to a local
mall, and what do you see?
You see that a
large percentage of the shoppers are Mexican...and they are spending
hard too.
Anglo-Americans,
it seems, are all in debt and unemployed, sitting at home watching
cable or shopping at Walmart.
You can feel
how discomfited I felt when the last two or three times I walked into
a local gun shop, there were three or four Hispanic gun shoppers
ahead of me, with more coming in.
Granted, I
live in Arizona, but it is the first time I see Mexicans taking up
such a large part of the local economy. These people work hard...and
they spend hard.
I am not happy
about it, but there it is.
The last
bastion of the Anglo-American male was the gun shop.
The last time I
went to a gun shop I saw ONE there...the rest were Hispanic.
Like I said,
when you go to a mall, Chuck E. Cheese, Peter Piper Pizza, Best Buy,
Fry's Electronics, etc, what you see are Mexican families (not
Anglo-Americans) spending cash.
When you go to
luxurious high-end shopping malls, what you see are the educated
foreign B1B visa workers and their families babbling in foreign
tounges.
When you go to
Walmart, you finally get to see Americans (or whats left of us).
On the one
hand, I can see why corporations and businesses are for the Dream Act
- it would legitimize a whole population of motivated, hard working,
hard spending individuals which would bring them even more profits.
What business
would not want that?
But don't get
me wrong - I am totally against the Dream Act.
I am just
underlining the fact that our corporations and local businesses are
seeing THEM as economic assets...NOT US.
And what's
become of 'us.'
I don't know.
I don't
recognize 'us' anymore.
I see more and
more working age young Americans who...
-believe
privacy is obsolete
-are unashamed
of using and looking forward to receiving 'food stamps'
-are waiting
for their parents, or the government...or somebody to bail them out
-are unashamed
of renting themselves out as boy toys or girl toys to their 'mate'
-depend on
their parents for economic support
-see socialism
and government involvement as a good idea
-have no plan
for the future except fulfilling themselves
-are unwilling
to stand up for anything or anyone, including themselves
Specifically,
the American worker I see as turning into a lazy bureaucrat,
fearfully following the numerous laws, rules and regulations in the
hope of not getting into trouble while sneakily seeing what all those
laws, rules, regulations and laws can bring him or her.
The American
worker (both self-employed and employee) is now a complainer,
sneakily using as much legalese as possible to use his complaints as
a threat.
The American
worker is a gutless bureaucrat, keeping up on the latest laws, rules
and regulations (and there are plenty of them) in order to not only
avoid trouble, but make them work to his benefit.
The American
worker is greedy, overcharges for work and expects to be paid
immediately and in cash.
The American
worker is a lazy clock watcher. No work on the weekends. Limited
hours of work on workdays. No late calls, please. Leave for home as
soon as the clock strikes five – if anything remains unfinished,
that's another day's problem.
The American
worker is disloyal. No loyalty to employers. No loyalty to customers.
No loyalty to relatives or extended family. The only loyalty the
American worker has is to himself and to the mean green.
The American
worker is ignorant. No self-motivated apprenticeships, no willingness
to expand on skills, knowledge or experience beyond their small field
of specialization and even there, no willingness to stay up to date.
The American
worker is corrupt. Jobs half done or incomplete, phony paperwork,
overcharging, shoddy workmanship or products, lying, covering up,
passing the blame.
The American
worker lacks ambition. The majestic dreams of yesteryear – getting
married, starting a family, establishing a business or career have
turned into how to get by the easiest way possible while having the
most free time possible and doing all the things you want to do.
To top it all
off, America itself is falling behind in fields it was supposed to be
a world leader:
-America is
begging off Russian help in getting its astronauts to and from the
International Space Station
-New American
high technology weapons like the F-35 and Stealth Bomber are looking
more and more like high-priced daydreams which don't really work
(note the 'Stealth Fighter' that was not only seen but shot down over
Yugoslavia and the cutting-edge technology drone captured by the
Iranians)
-Our first
rate currency, the Dollar, is being rejected around the world
-Our pro
basketball team regularly loses in the Olympics
-In
Videogaming, South Korean players regularly trounce American players
and Russians teams regularly defeat American teams while European
companies are surpassing American companies in videogame titles
-in computers,
Ubuntu operating system (based on the Finnish Linux) is proving to
work smoother and faster than either Macintosh (Unix) or Windos (DOS)
-Our main
export to Asia is scrap paper and scrap metal (trash)
And Americans
themselves are by and large a reflection of this downward trend.
Before closing,
I would just like to apologize to all the (I believe 25%) American
workers who are NOT like this for the above description.
You are
probably what's keeping this country going.
But there you
have it.
The state of
the American worker today is scary.
This is the
type of individual who is more likely to whine, cry and hold his hand
out for a dole than hold up the Republic.

2013: The Year America Goes Austere
They are already warning us about the skyrocketing price of
food which will take place next year due to elimination of government
farm subsidies.
They are already warning us about the drastic cut-backs in
government programs from welfare to unemployment to food stamps to
medicare (and if you don’t think Obamacare is a further cut back, wait and see)
which will be happening next year.
They are already warning us about the skyrocketing tax
increases which will be hitting us next year.
They are giving us a variety of reasons on why all this is going to happen (this year’s drought, the fiscal cliff, the stock market, consumer
debt, government subsidies, etc).
What they aren’t telling us is the truth.
Ladies and gentlemen, can you spell
A-U-S-T-E-R-I-T-Y M-E-A-S-U-R-E-S ?
A-U-S-T-E-R-I-T-Y M-E-A-S-U-R-E-S ?
That's right.
We are going the same way of Greece and Spain (and all other
Third World Countries which have defaulted on their debt).
I could have predicted that the day our interest
rate (the deficit) reached $1 trillion (10% of our GNP and
50% of all taxes collected).
But everybody just kept believing it couldn’t happen here,
cause by gum, this is America!
Well, America, it turns out, is just one more pawn on the Illuminati
chessboard.
And an austerity measure is something applied to a
country having trouble paying interest on its debt.
Austerity involves focusing the country’s tax revenue into
paying the interest at the expense of everything else.
This translates into higher taxes, less government
services…and economic stagnation (government is just paying the bankers not reviving the economy).
A default occurs and a borrower is unable to pay the
interest on his debt, you and I know and understand that. It’s called bankruptcy.
In the international arena it’s called a 'default.'
According to Illuminati custom, the prostrate nation then becomes the lapdog of a newly appointed ‘financial leader’ nation of the world
(Britain became one in 1820 following the bankruptcy of the French Empire and
America became one in 1950 following the bankruptcy of the British Empire) which directs it at the behest of the Illuminati.
Well now it’s America’s turn to go bankrupt!
And who better to assume the role of world financial leader
than the People’s Republic of China?
Get ready to see some American kow-towing.
The Chinese already own more than $2 trillion of our debt, have
their banks stuffed with Dollars, Euros and Swiss Francs and (it turns out)
have accumulated the largest known gold reserve in the world.
China will be the world’s next financial leader, lending to
the rest of the world’s bankrupt nations, much like America did from 1950-2000.
As for us, we will be put under austerity measures next
year.
Of course, they will not call it austerity measures, and
they will never admit we are bankrupt, but that is exactly what will be happening.
We could tell the bankers to simply get lost and write off
our made-up, Federal-Reserve-printed $16 trillion debt, but the bankers have
hedged their bets by installing the most Wall Street-centered administration in history as our rulers.
The Wall-Street-based ‘Obama Administration’ won’t do that.
So America, get ready for an ‘austere’ future…starting next
year.

New World Order Impoverishes Everybody
The statistics are fantasy.
China is not number one.
China is not ahead of anybody.
Its people are one of the most miserable in the world.
The Chinese cannot have more than one child.
The Chinese have no trial by jury.
The Chinese factory workers are paid a pittance barely
enough to cover food and shelter.
The Chinese live in fear of the police and secret police.
One thousandth of one percent of the Chinese population gets
to enjoy luxury and these are called ‘the princes.’
The Chinese peasants (90% of the population) live without
land and without prospects working as vagrant factory slaves.
Most Chinese males are without hope of marrying a Chinese
woman (and because of their poverty - any woman).
The mass of the Chinese population is a miserable and
frightened controlled mass.
If you talk to the non-Communist Party 99% Chinese, they’ll
tell you they were much happier on the farm than in the factory.
“Back in the farm we were free!” one Chinese told me.
Like our army, the Chinese Army is filled up with the
destitute, the unemployed and the unemployable – the ‘war dogs.’
All the hullabaloo about China is nonsense.
China is a country of misery for the overwhelming majority.
China is climbing the economic statistics tables on the backs of its miserable
people – who do not get to partake of its ‘progress.’
In Europe things are not much better.
The geographical place known as Western Europe has become
overrun with brutal, ignorant and unassimilated foreigners.
Heathrow Airport looks like the Middle East.
Marseille looks like North Africa.
The Western European people are a cowed, impoverished
unemployed mass, which now seems to have become stupid as well (its young have
become drunk, drugged out and restless).
European healthcare is a hell hole of endless waiting,
non-deliverable care, sub-par treatment and justified euthanasia.
I don’t even have to describe to you the conditions in the
rest of the world, but I will tell
you, it's ALL going down hill.
It doesn’t matter if you talk about Brazil, Venezuela,
Kenya, India or Russia.
The people in those countries will tell you they had it much
better in the freaking 1970’s.
The truth is the masses of the world are being turned into
impoverished, unemployed, ignorant, brainless, hopeless masses.
All of this is being covered up with PROPAGANDA about how
much better they are.
Venezuela is described as a new socialist paradise under
Chavez.
Have you talked to an expatriate Venezuelan lately?
Wasn’t Cuba described the same way?
India is now being advertised as the new up and coming world
economy?
Meanwhile the Indian people have become so destitute and
miserable that Indians are committing suicide at record rates.
The up and coming China is a lie.
The up and coming India is a lie.
The up and coming European Union is a lie.
And yes…American greatness is a lie.
What is America today?
It’s a de-industrialized country where corporations and
people line up in front of government to get welfare or get ‘employed’ in some manner.
Most working Americans are employed under public or private institutions
which are on the government dole (schools, contractors, bureaucrats,
hospitals, police, etc)
Let’s make it clear.
The New World Order is bringing EVERYBODY down.
It is bringing down Chinese, Japanese, Russians, Americans,
Europeans, Indians, Latin Americans and Africans down to levels of deprivation
never known before.
The populations of the world are getting poorer and more
miserable – everyone is.
In some places like China, India, Russia and Latin America,
propaganda and psyche operations are being launched to convince the population
they’ve never had it so good.
This is typical Marxism.
Marxism celebrates every government decision, ordnance, program, initiative and project as a huge step forward – a glorious victory!
This is what they’re doing in Venezuela, Russia and China
and in large portions of the Third World.
The new government programs are advertised as some sort of
great step forward towards a new shining future…
…while their populations reach new levels of deprivation.
Even here in America, we are still trying to ‘get onboard’
while waiting for ‘change’ to happen as we wallow in poverty and diminishing civil
rights.
This type of Marxist propaganda is likely to increase as
governments, organizations, regions and eventually the New World Order itself
comes up with new programs to ‘get things rolling again.’
But don’t drink the Kool Aid.
Don’t believe this population or that population is getting
better at our expense.
We are all losing our wealth, our property and our rights –
worldwide.
The public officials at the helm of the governments of the
world are working in conjunction with the New World Order elite to bring us all
down.
The plan of the New World Order is to put all wealth, all
property and all rights in the hands of an elite few.
The government of China is as much an enemy of the Chinese
people as our own government is an enemy of our own people.
They work in conjunction towards the same goal.
As should we (regardless of race, creed, religion or
nationality) work towards the same goal of sovereignty, liberty, property and
rights that is our God-given inheritance on this planet

Warning to America
America.
Your currency is defunct.
Your armed forces have been reduced to
a police force.
You are on the verge of economic
collapse.
You face polarization and civil war
Your presidency is occupied by a
traitor who is reducing the armed forces, betraying state secrets
and disassembling your nuclear force...and betraying you to the
enemy.
Your Dollar is finished.
Make plans for a new currency NOW.
Default on your debt of $17 trillion.
Ask the Federal Reserve to absolve
its portion of your debt (two thirds of it).
If it refuses...abolish it.
Keep your obligations only to
private and overseas holders of it.
Liberalize your economy – remove the
excessive obligations of business owners, doctors and entrepreneurs
to enable your small businesses (90% of your economy) to begin
hiring.
Cease your military folly.
Stop deploying your armies in the
Middle East.
The Middle East is a trap.
The enemy is about to strike you in the
back!
Your allies are in Europe and Asia, not
the Middle East.
Remove your armies from the Middle East
and reposition them to safeguard the vital gateways of South Korea
and Germany.
Re-make your armies into the
conventional heavy forces you will need to defend the West.
Reinforce and support your REAL allies.
Turn back from your unconstitutional, arbitrary and illegal corruption of US law by your courts, your police and your government which are turning the country into a retrograde police state.
Turn away from brutalizing your own population and turn instead to reforming your new and outrageous laws.
Understand NOW that your Executive branch is occupied by traitors who work against you and
for your destruction.
Move against them NOW.
Members of Congress, Intelligence
agencies, police agencies and the armed forces turn against these
traitors, sabotage and whistle-blow their plans and
operations and frustrate their designs.
Make up your mind to OPPOSE THEM NOW
until they can be removed or permanently neutralized.
If strife and separation should occur,
deal with it in a civilized manner,not a communist police state.
The minute the American government begins
killing Americans is the day it loses its legitimacy.
The day foreign troops set foot on American soil is the day America dies as a sovereign nation.

The Coming Total Collapse of the Dollar
We could lose the dollar overnight.
The American people don’t know this because they don’t understand the mechanics of the modern day monetary system.
The big can of elephant worms in the room is our National Debt.
Ergo Can of Worms #1: Bankruptcy
The US is already on the verge of bankruptcy.
With its $16 trillion dollar debt and annual $1 trillion interest payments in can barely afford, the US is standing on an economic precipice.
The incapacity to pay interest on a debt is a threshold measurement for bankruptcy.
The day America fails to make its trillion dollar interest payment on its debt is the day America is declared bankrupt.
If you look at Greece, then you get a hankering on how bankrupt countries are treated.
Now everything in this world has been turned into speculation (as you might have noticed).
Money is no exception.
Money is speculated at the International Currency Exchange or ICE.
Here money and government bonds are bought and sold like you buy and sell stocks on the stock market.
Ergo, the value of your national currency is liable to rocket up or sink downward depending on the speculation that occurs at the ICE.
It is because of this that the value of the dollar (or any currency) can disintegrate overnight.
A massive speculatory move by the powers that be can destroy the value of the dollar within 24 hours.
Remember Mexico in 1994?
The bottom totally fell out of the Peso and it began losing all its value within a days.
It was an emergency of such magnitude that the US had to come to the rescue with an immediate $50 Billion bailout set up by President Clinton.
Now if this happens to us, who is going to come to OUR rescue?
The answer is nobody.
In fact, a lot of countries might just cheer as we go down the toilet.
The worse thing is, that the mechanisms that can destroy our dollar are already in place.
Can of worms #2: Dollar Collapse
The Communist Party of the People’s Republic of China is holding $1.13 trillion of our debt.
All it will take is for China to start selling those bonds and dollars to cause and OVERNIGHT collapse of the dollar on the International Currency Exchange (ICE).
If this happens, you might be hearing of the sudden plummet of the dollar as you watch the morning news (or check your morning email), cause it won’t even have time to appear in the newspapers.
This opens can of worms #3: Inflation
We are an import-based nation.
Most of the stuff that we get we import (including all our produce!).
If the dollar starts plummeting in value…
…all those exporters are going to start wanting more and more (constantly depreciating) dollars for their stuff.
At this point, I guess we could print even more dollars on the currency exchange market, but that would be like a drowning man trying to drink his way out of a swimming pool.
Our debt is already at peak levels, and the results would be temporary if any.
At this point, the cost of every imported item will begin to skyrocket - and that’s just about everything.
Because we import gas, the price of gas will skyrocket.
Because the price of gas is skyrocketing, the price of transporting everything will skyrocket.
Because the price of transporting everything is skyrocketing, the price of EVERYTHING will skyrocket.
Now comes can of worms #4: Stagflation
Our economic situation is unique not just in the world, but in history.
The government is constantly borrowing more and more money, but none of it is making its way to the public.
Why?
Because all of its is going into saving the government and the banks…not us.
It’s all going into Wall Street banks (which have made $trillions disappear in the derivatives market) to keep them solvent.
And the rest is going to the government to keep it running, service its debt, keep the dollar high, keep our allies friendly, Iraq, Afghanistan, social security, welfare etc.
So what we have a situation where the government has actually borrowed $5 trillion dollars since 2008, with very little if any of it going to the American public.
Incredible but true!
This has led to a situation where the government borrows more and more, while there is less and less money inside the American economy.
As you might have noticed, prices are going down, not up, because we have no more money, and no more money is being injected into the economy.
This then is the setting for the perfect storm.
Inwardly, there is no more money circulating within the American economy.
Outwardly, the dollar loses all its value.
Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in world history, I would like to present to you the hitherto theoretical phenomenon of STAGFLATION!
Stagflation is the condition in which people have less and less money while prices keep going up and up.
This is literally the worse of both economic hells.
Up until know this has been a condition which has only existed in the minds of economic theoreticians.
But it now seems about to become a plausible reality.
Now, for the first time, it seems like its going to happen right here in America!
This indeed is the worse can of worms: rising prices within a population that has less and less money.
If you can imagine a total economic hell, this is it.
I don’t think a society in a condition of stagflation can stay a society for very long.
At this point, the best thing America could do is:
1) get rid of the dollar
2) default on its debt completely and absolutely
3) shut down the Federal Reserve
4) start printing a new debt-free currency through the Department of the Treasury directly (if possible backed by gold or silver)
This would be what a real America run by real Americans would do.
But what are the chances of it happening under the watch of the internationalist custodians who inhabit the Federal Government?
Didn’t they let the Federal Reserve run our face into the ground in the 1930’s?
Chances are…they will run to the Federal Reserve, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank for help…while they let us stew in our stagflation for a while.
The solution, of course, won’t involve defaulting on our debt, but exchanging something for it to the international banking order (our public lands, our spheres of influence and trade, our natural resources, perhaps even our rights and sovereignty).
This solution would have more to do with submitting to the New World Order than recovering our economy (remember, many other countries would also have be thrown into chaos by our collapse).
The UN might even be called in to manage some of the riots while the President and a desperate Congress sell the country over to the New World Order.
(End of Article)
Addendum:
I felt a sudden urge to include an addendum here, instead of leaving everyone clueless with a lap of bad news.
What you can do if the stuff hits the fan?
What could you do to prepare?
The only thing I can think of economically is to buy silver (my sources told me gold will confiscated by the government).
Silver is ‘spendable’, affordable, keeps its value, and historically has never been confiscated.
People also say, accumulate food, water, weapons and ammunition.
The advice I have received on this is to do it, but do it as a community of several people or families you trust, not just one, living in the same location and watching out for each other in the lowest key possible.
The other advice I have gotten (and this is directly against my nature) is hide: hide your wealth, hide your possessions, hide your weapons, if possible, hide your location.
Don’t tell anyone of your plans or what you have (not even friends or colleagues) who is not a direct member of your ‘survival team.’ The advice I received is that this can be done at the urban or rural level.
