We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the
stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while
the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the
darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.
Ayn Rand
Washington, Wall Street and the Federal Reserve have lost their moral bearings and people now have only themselves to turn to. An ethic of, "If they can do it, so can I," is spreading, as people realize that fabric of American society has been shredded and replaced by a free-for-all mentality whereby everyone must fend for oneself in order to survive,” writes The Daily Bell. Ayn Rand wrote, "when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed." The Internet, in exposing the breathtaking money manipulations of the monetary elite, is likely in the process of reducing social morality to rubble.1
People are not buying these concepts that are completely foreign
to America. We’re almost reaching a revolution in this country.
Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK)
Senators like Inhofe don’t make such statements lightly. And it is truly startling to read some people in government wishing a few billion of us would simply disappear.2- It is an age of madness and suicide rates, violence and crime are going up. Stewart Dougherty writes, “The average person on the street is suddenly realizing that he lives in a society where a few people control trillions while he controls nothing. This is not just going to lead to a breakdown of society, over time it is going to lead to a meltdown of western civilization. The moral order that supported this sort of society is kaput. It's been found out. On the way are increased chaos, increased immorality and eventually a new moral order.”
Talking about moral decay how many of us would believe that John Holdren, whom Barack Obama has recently appointed Science Czar, wrote a book whose basic premise is that the population explosion has gotten so out of control that only the most oppressive and totalitarian measures can possibly stop humanity from stripping the planet bare and causing a catastrophe beyond our imagining. Holdren apparently had no problem saying we should force people to not have children, by any means necessary.3 The same with vaccination, there are human beasts who would force dangerous vaccines this fall no matter how many people will get hurt from them.
According to a Fox News poll, the majority of respondents
think that the swine flu vaccine is deadlier than the actual virus
itself, emphasizing the growing momentum in the revolt against
government plans to institute mass H1N1 vaccination programs.4
Stewart Dougherty continues saying, “The colossal miscalculation made by Washington and Wall Street is that they could control the moral hazard genie once they removed it from the bottle. They believed they could use the genie to enrich themselves with trillions of dollars' worth of taxpayer money, and then replace it in the bottle before its magic spell of immorality metastasized throughout society at large. They assumed that the people would be too stupid to see what was going on. And that even if the people did figure things out, they would willingly wear the thick, choking chains of debt being welded to their necks by the financial elite and its Washington enablers.”
“It’s enough to make me wonder if we haven’t already made the transition into the world of Orwell, or “V” (as in “Vendetta”). A world where no official data or pronouncement are to be trusted, and the mainstream media has devolved into little more than a willing mouthpiece for officialdom,” writes Casey Research.5
Intel's Andy Grove, a man to pay serious attention to, was already being blunt in 2006 about current realities in the United States and is quoted as saying, in Newsweek, "America ... [is going] down the tubes," he says, "and the worst part is nobody knows it. They're all in denial, patting themselves on the back, as the Titanic heads for the iceberg full speed ahead."6 You really do not have to be a prophet to see clear trends. Though things do seem to happen in slow motion with time spread over years, the ax has already fallen on uncounted millions of families in America and around the world since Andy spoke up in 2006.
When will Americans wake up to the fact that we
are not the only real people on this planet;
that our security cannot depend
on the insecurity of everyone else?
Paul Krugman
This book is not just for Americans and European’s but for the entire world that has been dragged into a system that is in its early stages of collapse. When Rome finally fell most of western civilization fell with it, though today we have different configurations across a broad front of issues. When America falls much will fall with her so it is important for all of us to understand what is happening in America and Europe, but especially in America because they have had the audacity to put themselves at the center of the world. Unfortunately they have abused their position and they are about to pay for that.
Despite signs of an improving economy, the
nation's banks are still struggling — in fact,
the pace of bank failures has accelerated.

Warren Buffett in late August hit the panic button about the tremendous mountain of debt the country is piling up. A year ago he felt we were justified in using any means necessary to stave off another Great Depression. But now he feels we need to curtail our out-of-control spending, or we'll destroy the value of the dollar and many Americans' life savings. In some early chapters of this book we will take a close look at what this really means. At what will happen if government returns to sanity and starts firing people. Or the other choice, which is the present choice –borrow and spend more and have that blow up in everyone’s face.
Some facts from Buffett's late August editorial in the New York Times:
1) Congress is now spending 185% of what it takes in
2) Our deficit is a post WWII record of 13% of GDP
3) Our debt is growing by 1% a month
4) We are borrowing $1.8 trillion a year
$1.8 trillion is a lot of money. Even if the Chinese lend us $400 billion a year and Americans save a remarkable $500 billion and lend it to the government, we'll still need another $900 billion. So, where's it going to come from? Most likely the printing press! And, ultimately, Buffett says, that will destroy the value of the dollar.
The biggest, most reckless, global credit expansion
experiment the world has ever seen is coming to an end.
Central banks are powerless to do anything about it.
Mike "Mish" Shedlock
Currently, commercial real estate bankruptcies are growing at a massive rate in the United States. So too are bank failures, foreclosures, and credit card defaults! And bankruptcies, foreclosures, and credit card defaults result in the destruction of credit, the very essence of deflation. How this will play out nobody knows for sure but there is a darkening picture developing and this book paints it in vivid color.
There are no real life precedents to draw on when trying to make
sense of the present crisis yet we have all kinds of officials lining up
making statements about things that they really don’t know and
people listen to them and the media repeats everything they say.
Rhode Island will shut down its state government for 12 days and hopes to trim millions of dollars in funding for local governments under a plan Gov. Don Carcieri outlined in the last week of August to balance a budget hammered by surging unemployment and plummeting tax revenue. The shutdown will force 81 percent of the roughly 13,550-member state work force, excluding its college system, to stay home a dozen days without pay during this fiscal year. This is just the beginning of Armageddon for state and local governments and the people they serve and in this book we examine closely what is happening in California as a precursor of bad things to come.
Stock markets are at insanely elevated heights compared to what
happens in the real world out there, and must and will come down.
The Automatic Earth
We live in an American dollar dominated world and the dollar’s failure will bring large scale devastation to people all over the world. With almost seven billion souls on our planet a lot is at stake. There is a lot of heavy turbulence ahead and not everyone is going to survive. Taken as a whole this book is telling us to be prepared for the worst. More changes than we can possibly imagine are coming yet it is not easy to turn our beliefs upside down and grasp what is at hand. We all have set ways of perceiving the world, powerful images that do not change easily so prepare to be challenged down to the roots of your existence.
The people who know are getting out early. The ratio of
insider selling to insider buying soared to 30 to one in August.
Art Cashin
Director of floor operations at UBS
TrimTabs Investment Research reported that selling by corporate insiders in August has surged to $6.1 billion, the highest amount since May 2008. The ratio of insider selling to insider buying hit 30.6, the highest level since TrimTabs began tracking the data in 2004. “The best-informed market participants are sending a clear signal that the party on Wall Street is going to end soon,” said Charles Biderman, CEO of Trim Tabs. "Investors who think the U.S. economy is recovering are going to get a big shock this fall," said Biderman. "Companies and corporate insiders are signaling that the economy is in much worse shape than conventional wisdom believes."
We make, en mass, a mental mistake when assuming that those in positions of power know more than us - assuming as we do that that the reasons they have for the actions they take are both rational and in our collective best interest. We don’t expect even children to be so naïve but we have gone off the deep end with trust in authorities and our institutions. I have watched for years as the autism community has tried to wake up health and medical officials to the obvious about mercury loaded vaccines and most recently as other concerned parents tried to get the FDA to come to reason over mercury containing dental amalgam. There are no words to express the feelings and perceptions and the sheer waste and humiliation of trying to get hard rocks like the CDC and FDA to bleed.
By the time we wake up, the world is
going to be an entirely different place.
Casey’s Investment Alert
The cardboard facade of “happy days are here again” can be propped for a few weeks or months more perhaps, but the sharks are circling and not about to go away. The news is bad and will get stunningly worse with each passing quarter. Gerald Celente, a trend forecaster whose accurate predictions of economic and market trends have earned him a degree of fame over the last few years, is saying that “conditions will continue to deteriorate. The global economy is terminally ill. The recession is in a brief remission, not the early stages of recovery.”
The federal government faces exploding deficits and mounting debt over the next decade, White House officials predicted Tuesday August 25, 2009 in a fiscal assessment far bleaker than what the Obama administration had estimated just a few months ago. And still they are being incredibly optimistic projecting GNP growth in 2010 at 2.0 percent. The revised estimates project that the economy will contract by 2.8 percent this year, more than twice what the White House predicted earlier this year. Christina Romer (Obama economic advisor) projected that the economy would expand in 2010, but by 2 percent instead of the 3.2 percent growth the White House predicted in May. By 2011, Romer estimated, the economy would be humming at 3.6 percent growth and that is wishful thinking of the highest order.
Now imagine if we have no growth next year and in fact continue to see “only” a mild continuing contraction. If you can imagine this then you have imagined a catastrophic disaster for the United States federal government and their fiscal affairs. When the cork pops one thing we can expect to see is a run on the banks and then bank holidays and then hell. There is no money at the FDIC anymore to back up deposits; it’s all a fiction, a deck of stacked cards just waiting for the first breeze to knock it all down.
As this empire collapses, creating a fresh monetary system
won’t be an option for our future. It will be a necessity.
We once again will need to navigate our communities
out of the barter systems we will initially be thrown into.
Floy Lilley
Floy starts an excellent essay on money with7, “Our gold standard money didn’t fail us in 1913; it was murdered. Did it deserve to die? What was its crime? It had provided us with nothing less than relative peace and prosperity over a span of 136 years. It had not only retained one hundred percent of its value, it had gained eleven percent. That’s right. The dollar we started with in 1776 bought us eleven percent more after almost seven generations. Then, J.P. Morgan’s creatures picked a quiet 23rd of December in 1913 to suffocate our sound money system. Since that manslaughter, the purchasing power of a dollar has plummeted over 95%. We now pay twenty times more than J.P. Morgan did for any item.” 1913 was the year the Federal Reserve System came into existence and many fine people have thought that was the day the soul of America was sold to the moneylenders.
Is it an exercise in futility to spend much time thinking too far ahead? Perhaps so, but we do have to pay attention to the rapids directly ahead. We have to navigate the rapids of change as everything shifts under the majority of peoples’ feet. Though many of us are insulated from the worst that is already happening to too many there should be no doubt that what is coming will be a collective affair. There will be a collective suffering; reality is inevitable and the truth catches up with us sooner or later. It's all just a matter of time. Spending many trillions is a very high price to pay for a few months more of a society already insanely indebted.
As a country we are out of control, we're in a death spiral.
Howard Davidowitz
“Things have spiraled into a scenario of a starving beast devouring all living creatures in an insatiable appetite of conquest for a handful of people to rule everything on earth. And I do mean everything. From the oil, to the water, to the forests, to the weather, everything. The world's ship is being sailed by a mad captain with marching orders from a crazed ruling class and all we can do is watch and hope they don't turn the cannons on us again, because one doesn't have to be a genius to see the recurring theme of death, destruction and mayhem being instigated by the protectors who say they are protecting us, but in truth are killing us (any of the world's innocent citizens) to protect corporate interests. Thus the trend is hermit-ism. People are pulling away from society and for good reason as we are victims of dealing with continuous lies, deception and ignorance and it is bad for mental health,” writes Mr. Morphed on his blog.8
Obama is either guilty of not seeing the forest for the trees
or extremely misguided, perhaps insane and/or suffering
from a split personality with both Eastern/Western values and
has the unenviable role of leading the USA's national suicide.
Casey Research
The horse is dead, more whipping won't help. America cannot borrow its way to prosperity. Some people think it would be a mistake to bet against America and Americans in the long term but I am not so sure. The antidote for arrogance is humiliation and the higher one climbs the longer and harder the fall. The humble live close to the earth and it is the process of humiliation that cuts people and even countries down to size. America and most of Europe is heading into a situation from which a return to "normalcy" is no longer an option. The camel's back can take only so many straws.
Paul Tudor Jones the billionaire hedge-fund manager who outperformed
peers last year, is wagering that Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and
Morgan Stanley got it wrong in declaring the start of an economic recovery.9
The demise of the financial system, as should be obvious, is also the end of politics as we’ve come to know it. Meaning unimaginable changes are at hand and we are all at risk. Even after reading this book, which will take a stomach and a half to digest, it will be hard to look reality right in the face but this is exactly what we need to do, but with great heart. This book then is for those of the greatest heart; souls who intend to stay noble and rise to the challenges ahead. After all the best way to exercise the heart is with truth, hard truths, which this book is full of. It would be nice to be writing about harmony and heaven but that is not what we are facing unless we cultivate everything that we are and can be. Be ready to be strong. It might be a good time to remember that whatever does not kill you makes you stronger.
Events and changes and basic survival issues of food and
clean drinking water - and so many things- will be like huge
shifting dunes in the desert snapping at the unprepared the most.
This book then is food for the soul and in later chapters will provide profound answers that can be applied sometime in the future if and when we come to our senses as a race. Surviving with our lives will be difficult enough but what of our souls? Obviously we are in trouble on this level as well, if we let ourselves really be honest with ourselves, en mass we have not been at our best. (Read more about this book)
After Note: On September 1st Russian Professor Igor Panarin said that events are continuing to confirm his doomsday prediction first made over 10 years ago, that the United States will completely collapse like the Soviet Union before the end of 2010, and warns that the chaos could begin to unfold in as little as two months.10 Also coming soon: A new bill, the "Pandemic Response Bill" 2028, reportedly just passed by the Massachusetts state Senate and now awaiting approval in the House, suspends virtually all Constitutional rights of Massachusetts citizens and forces anyone "suspected" of being infected to submit to interrogations, "decontaminations" and vaccines.
