Economic Collapse Update: End of Fiat, Bitcoin Myths, Demographic Depression, Fed Rate Cut Likely,

End of Fiat
It's happening now and the only question is when de-dollarization finally comes about.  China appears intent on making it happen sooner rather than later.

Bitcoin Myths
It is simply digits in cyberspace so whether it retains actual value is the big question.  Who knows for sure.

Demographic Depression
There may be no way around this so as they always say demographics equals destiny.

Fed Rate Cut Likely - last Hurrah
They are running out of options and so are we.

Sleepwalking toward a crisis  - Got Gold 
If that's all that we have left as an answer I'd add got land, got hard assets, got guns, got ammo.

Financial Collapse Update: Retirement Crisis

Bad for Everyone Retirement Crisis

This is why it pays to have back up plans for just surviving with life's essentials.

Fake News Update: U.S. increased corruption Index

Trump Blamed for U.S. increased corruption of Government

This would be a joke if it weren't so serious of a subject.  The corruption is most apparent in terms of political bias against Trump by almost all of the agencies he's supposedly corrupting.  Look at the source of the story and you'll make the obvious conclusion that this qualifies as FAKE NEWS.  The previous administration corrupted most every aspect of the government and ignored laws and precedent regularly.  Stimulus money was sent to pay off Unions, cash was paid to Iran, American Uranium was sold to Russia, and on and on it went and continues years after BHO left.  If anything can explain the corruption index change for the USA it was 8 years of the previous rot.

Dirty Left: Deep State Leaks and Fake News - WAPO Smears Trump, Newsroom Cheers, DNC Staffer Death, Violence Against Republicans New Norm

Smear
This shows you how close we are to losing the country to the global elite.  They are willing to stop at nothing.  The left-media is nothing but propaganda.

The media never raised a concern when Biden let out the information that Seal Team 6 was responsible for the Bin Ladin raid.

Newsroom Cheers
There may be a smidgen of bias from the left media but this makes it clear that they have no objectivity.

DNC staffer had Wikileaks contact prior to death
 If you cross the Democrats and the left expect violence.  If you betray them it seems that nothing is off the table.

Violence against Republicans the new norm

Coming Xprez has racked up a list of damage to USA

Leader of the Crazy Left and his damage to the USA
10 ways Barak Obama Broke the US system  - Read this list and your stomach will churn.



Another Angle on it below.

He worked hard at it but the damage done to the country is substantial.  Out of it some good things came.  Lots of indolent and seemingly stupid Americans realized that despite their delusional leftist voting patterns they were heading into the abyss of financial destruction if they stayed with the current group of crooks in charge.

On balance, it seems that the hardest thing to repair might be racial relations since this is the first time in memory we had a race-baiter using the bully pulpit to foment hatred between races and against the police.  It has cost many lives.

The Middle East is a mess thanks to the meddling Muslim favoring operative.  Iran will have nukes and has plenty of cash to buy the needed technology and materials thanks to midnight cash flights.  This may cost millions of lives.

The country is awash in disease and crime thanks to the flood of criminal aliens allowed into the country and those released from prison by the dear leader.  Many Americans have paid with their lives.

IRS agents targeted conservative groups.  No one has gone to jail thanks to the cover up and lack of effort by the justice department.  American freedom and the rule of law is now in doubt.  Someone must go to jail for all this, but it is doubtful if anyone will.


The Risk of Civil War

This is the biggest risk.  The crazy left is so insane that Trump won that they are preparing to fight in the streets.  They've already shown willingness to physically attack anyone deemed a Trump supporter.  Watch your six.  Remain circumspect in your opinions if you value your health.

Collapse News: Inflation, Families Struggle, Texas Gold, China Nukes, Homesteading

The Fed lies about inflation and finally comes clean.
The game may be up soon.

Average family would struggle to spend 1k on an emergency. 
No surprise.  Many are struggling and living week to week.

Chinese Nuke Subs to patrol the seas.
This is another benefit of the Clinton years where nuke sub technology was given away for donations.

China Wants War with USA
They are getting big for their britches and are expending a tremendous amount of effort at growing their military strength.  Also, because we have a foreign operative running our country and a likely coward any conflict or risk of one would likely go against us.   With the current makeup of our government we may go down to multiple adversaries that include Russia, China, Iran, and whomever else wants to take advantage of our current weakness.  They all smell the blood in the water.

Texas Gold Depository
Here is another sign that confidence in the Feds is waning.  Texas would rather have the gold within its borders than in some NY bank.


Homesteading Video
Something to do while you wait for fallout or scoops to arrive.

Collapse update: Yuan Rises, Russia Bans Soros, Fourth Turning

Yuan on Ascendance and to be on equal footing with the U.S. Dollar
See this as just another indicator of the eventual displacement of the Dollar as the world reserve currency.  When that day comes U.S. citizens will pay dearly for support of the spendthrift policies of their government and of our love for never ending wars.  China may be the one to replace it as it seems to be in their strategic plan.

New Financial Order with China in Charge
This is a follow on to the first article and it is almost an advertisement article but at least you will learn some very valuable information.  I never knew the way we had our gold from Fort Knox looted of course as result of the stupid policies of our government.

Russia bans membership to Soros groups
Putin seems to be the only leader of his country willing to do exactly what it takes to prevent outsiders from interfering in the future of his country.  The USA is suffering badly as a result of manipulation by such outside groups in elections and policy.

Fourth Turning
This is a very uplifting article is you look forward to the collapse since it offers up something for everyone in terms of challenges.  In the words of a particularly dim witted President even counting our current incompetent, bring it on.

Sitrep: China Threat - Nukes, Collapse Update, Social Breakdown, Age of Antibiotics is Over

 China Threat

China Threatens Nuclear Sub Attack on USA
This is an update to their threats back in the 90's when Clinton was in charge.  Now they have many more subs capable of hitting the US mainland with nuclear weapons and they know we have an extremely weak president at the moment. He is too busy crushing domestic opposition.

US Military Being Purged
This cannot come at a worse time since we have threats from all side including our main rival China.

1983 War Games Almost Caused Armageddon 
If you think the Chinese bluster is a joke just remember how close we came to going at it with the Soviets over a game they thought was real.

Financial Collapse

Only One Peaceful Path To Avoid Destruction
Denninger is a math guy and his numbers usually make sense.  The bottom line for him is that we can't vote our way out of destruction.  Protect yourself.

Annihilation of US Dollar is Coming
This along with the confiscation of deposits to make banks whole will finish off the US economy and way of life.

Social Breakdown

NYC Coping with Flash Mobs
Gangs of bikers, skate boarders, and whatever else you can think of are now the next big problem for cities.  Think of Attila pushing his way through NY with his horsemen in a bid to show power and strike fear as he drove those victims of earlier conquests before him.  Do you want to live where this is allowed.  Not me.  Not ever.

Prepping May Be a Flag or Become Illegal 

Here are some prepping ideas for social unrest. 

Victims of Illegal Aliens Memorial
What more needs be said other than what a waste for good Americans to be killed by criminals not legally in the country.

Pandemics and Disease

The age of antibiotics is over according to the CDC.
 So if you lived between 1950 and now you have been within a charmed timeline where most bacterial illnesses could be treated.  That is now coming to an end.

Saving Money the Old Fashioned Way

Here is the Southpark take on how saving money really works. For those of you with money in MF Global or some other operation that somehow lost Billions of money for its clients I think this little video takes on special meaning.

This is why I suggest owning silver, gold, and holding cash.

Our Collapsing Empire

Chris Hedges goes through our coming decline and describes how we are headed to the bottom.
http://youtu.be/7zotYU21qcU

He describes how the political system has failed us.

The coming debacle is now evident to anyone that has studied history and looks at the similarities.  

U.S. Dominance Coming to an end

The bad news for the U.S. continues. Now we have an article from Reuters that indicates that China could catch up with us militarily within the next 10-15 years. Wonderful. See, that's how it works when you employ Chinese Nationals in your nuclear research labs and give them access to your technology that you spent trillions of dollars and 60 years developing. They'll just copy and use everything we've developed as they do with everything else. We are stupid in this regard.

The problem is we'll pay dearly for it and so will many other allies that relied on our protection in Asia.
