It is easy to interpret the signals of our economy from afar when we see people driving cars everywhere and we tend to think that our economy is not that bad.
The fact remains that 40 years ago Americans owned those cars that we see them driving. Today, we are renting them as 40% of us are leasing our vehicles.
As we drive up and down our neighborhoods, we see people living in houses and we lie to ourselves as use this as a false barometer to convince ourselves that everything is OK. However, many of these homes we see people living in, have lost all of their equity.
The logical answer to the question “When will we have a depression?”, should be answered by stating “We have an $19 trillion dollar annual deficit and that is the good news. We have $240 trillion dollars of debt from unfunded liabilities and we have a stunning $1.5 quadrillion dollar debt.
So, you better grab all the food, water, guns and ammunition that you can and run for the hills, if you are able”! But as long we see people driving in cars and living in houses, most Americans are gong to deny the truth.
Yet, I feel compelled to speak the truth because I might be able to get one more person to take the steps necessary to help increase the odds of their survival in response to what is coming. History shows that one can count on six things occurring following the collapse of the dollar.
The Last Great American Garage Sale
On multiple occasions in this column, I have thoroughly documented the following facts which demonstrate that the banksters are stealing our assets in preparation for them to economically survive what is coming:
1. The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that when you put money into the bank, you have transferred ownership of that money to the bank. This ruling represents government sponsored theft in the highest order, yet most of us are unaware that this happened.
2. The G20 nations declared the money in your bank account to not be money. Therefore, the FDIC insurance for your savings.
3. The MERS mortgage fraud is ongoing and homeowners are still having their homes stolen without legal justification.
4. The Federal Reserve, in 2012, began to print money to the tune of $40 billion dollars a month in order to purchase mortgage backed securities.
5. The banksters have practiced stealing the secured accounts of American in the MF Global (MFG) scandal, resulting in the loss of $6.3 billion dollars of secured investment funds. Nobody went to jail.
6. In April of 2013, the banksters are manipulating the price of gold as evidenced by the actions of “Goldman Sachs who told their clients earlier that they recommend initiating a short COMEX gold position.” After investors were duped into panic selling, the banksters bought up massive sums of gold. The banksters were buying gold while getting out the American Stock Market and the megabanks. Why? Because the dollar is on the verge of collapse. This manipulation is continuing today. Gold and silver are being kept artificially low. NOW, is the time to buy!
7. The banksters have signaled that they were no longer attempting to gain control of any more gold as they began to repatriate gold with their rightful owners in Europe. This means that the crash could happen at any time.
The only thing left to do is for the banksters to steal your bank accounts. The correct “crisis” will bring about the collapse of the dollar now that the wealth transfer has largely been accomplished.
What America Will Look Like Following the Collapse of the Dollar-Five Things You Can Count On Happening
The aftermath of an economic collapse can take different forms, however, history demonstrates that there are some universal things you can count on:
1. Obamavilles
People will lose their jobs and ultimately will be evicted from their homes and America will see a dramatic spike in the rate of homelessness.
During the Great Depression (1929-1941),the growing number of homeless people in America began to live in communities with cardboard boxes as their only shelter. The communities took on the name “Hooverilles” in reference to the President that most Americans blamed for the Great Depression.
Today, as the economy collapses, a new homeless class will be created and they will come from the former middle class. A large number of Americans own property. This will shift to a large amount of properties will subsequently be owned by the few and America will witness the introduction of feudalism to our country. This is why the Federal reserve has been buying $40 billion dollars of mortgage backed securities every month.
Did you know that the New York City homeless shelters are filled with people that have full-time jobs? It has already started.
2. Dramatic Food Shortages
Because of “Just In Time” deliveries, the American food industry operates on quick and multiple deliveries and survives only as the result of the rapid payment of invoices. As the failing economy reaches to service industry, most of these business will fail in very large numbers. Who then, will be delivering the food? Only a fool is not storing food and water.
3. Food Riots
Because of the food shortages, riots and organized gang violence will occur. The military is trained to isolate these areas, but will not intervene. If you call 911, nobody will be answering. This will be the time that you wished you had listened to many in the alternative media because this is the time that America will begin to see a large loss of life.
4. Persecution of Christians
The persecutions of Christians is already taking place as record numbers of Christians are leaving the military because of overt discrimination. In the American military, Christians are being disciplined for sharing their faith. No other religion has such a prohibition.
When Pastor Walter Mansfield, one of the original Clergy Response Team member, told me in an interview that he would be forbidden to mention the words “Jesus” and the “Bible” while ministering in the camps.
Germany is evicting Christians from their homes to make way for Muslim invaders. For example, the UK Telegraph is reporting that 51-year-old German Christian woman, one of many, is being evicted from her home of 16 years to make way for refugees, with shelters already full across the country. On September 1, 2015, she received a letter from her landlord and the local municipality, telling her the building was being turned into a refugee shelter and she had until May to leave. So much for the Syrian exodus being a spontaneous event. It was well planned. Many feel that Christians are being targeted in Germany for home evictions in favor of refugee shelters for Muslims in Germany. With the Refugee/Resettlement program in full swing in the United States, how long will it be until the same thing begins to happen here?
5. Martial Law Will Be Declared
(Editor’s note: War will comprise a 6th element that will accompany the coming events. Because of the enormity of the subject, this development will be covered separately).
DHS and the military has already practiced for this development. Travel will be limited and it will stopped all together in areas where the civil unrest is at its worst.
The 2012 and 2014 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), will allow government officials to “disappear” anyone they want to and for any reason, or no reason at all. The NDAA suspends habeas corpus, provides for indefinite detention and this is done on the premise that certain kinds of Americans are threats (e.g. Second Amendment supporters, Bible-believing Christians). This is where the present harassment of Christians will turn into the outright persecution of Christians.
I think the public has a right to know how its government plans to handle future protests. Is America the new Venezuela, Egypt, or Ukraine? A previously secret document which was leaked online; entitled FM 3-39.40 Internment and Resettlement Operations (PDF).
RIOT FORMATIONS
H-42. Quick-reaction force teams should be established with a minimum response time. Because of the physical nature of riot control, individuals in riot control formations should not carry rifles. Nonlethal attachments should follow closely behind the riot control formation. Lethal coverage must be provided for this entire formation. (See FM 3-22.40.)
DESIGNATED MARKSMEN
H-43. During a nonlethal engagement, the use of designated marksmen provides confidence and safety to those facing a riot. If a lethal threat is presented, the designated marksmen in overwatch positions (armed with appropriate sniper weapons mounted with high-powered scopes) can scan a crowd and identify agitators and riot leaders for apprehension and fire lethal rounds if warranted. Additionally, they are ideally suited for flank security and countersniper operations. (See FM 3-22.40.).
Travel restrictions will be a part of this process.
Don’t wait for the collapse of the dollar because it will be too late.
Government Control Over All Fuel and Transportation
These are some of the things that government can do to you courtesy of several executive orders.
Executive Order 10990
Allows the government to take control over all modes of transportation, highways, and seaports.
Executive Order 11003
Allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.
Executive Order 11005
Allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways, and public storage facilities.
Executive Order 10997
Allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels, and minerals.
Government Control Over All Food and Water
Executive Order 10998
Allows the government to take over all food resources and farms
The Ability to Enslave the American People
Executive Order 11000
Allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.
Executive Order 11001
Allows the government to take over all health, education, and welfare functions.
Executive Order 11002
Designates the Postmaster General to operate national registration of all persons.
Executive Order 11004
Allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be abandoned, and establish new locations for populations.
Ability to Grant the President Total Dictatorial Control
Executive Order 11051
Specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.
Executive Order 11310
Grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.
Executive Order 11049
Assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued over a fifteen year period.
There are more examples, but I think you get the idea. Your government has practiced to subjugate and even murder you in times such as these.
Conclusion
Is there anything that can be done to stop the egregious violations of our civil liberties? The short answer is no! However, there are some things that can be done to mitigate the threat and to soften the landing following an economic collapse. These will be covered, in detail, in a future article.
Dave you are doing a great job of convincing the people I and the people I work for are all powerful and they have absolutely no chance. Keep up the good work Dave. Your mental assault of the people is key to softening the target. Next time you are in DC stop by for a beer!
EDITOR’S NOTE: AS LONG AS THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS ARE IN A SLUMBER, WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE. THIS IS WHY I DO WHAT I DO. YOU NEED TO GET OFF THE ALLEGATION THAT WEAKENING AMERICA IS MY ROLE AND ASK YOURSELF WHAT ARE DOING FOR THE CAUSE. AT LEAST I WAKE SOME PEOPLE UP. YOU, ON THE OTHER HAND, THROW OUT UNFOUNDED AND FALSE ALLEGATIONS AND THINK THAT THIS IS PATRIOTISM. BY THE WAY, IF YOU HAVE ANY MANHOOD LEFT, WHY DON’T YOU USE YOUR REAL NAME WHEN YOU WRITE TO ME. YOUR ANONYMITY SPEAKS TO YOUR COWARDICE AS A MAN.
I urge preppers to look into ”wood gasifers”.Wood fumes can be used to power your gasoline engines. Search on youtube>[The Colony /wood gasifer] to see a simple wood gasifer being built and used to power gas engine.Then search the other wood gasifers on the side bar of the video your watching.
It seems to me that in such a situation, owning gold or silver is going to be beyond useless. Weapons, tools, and wilderness skills are going to be the only things that will keep you alive. If you don’t already possess these things, the odds are extremely high that you are going to be enslaved or die.
Thank you, Dave, for this article. It provides “meat” to the warnings I have been giving since last year (but mostly scoffed at). I do want to encourage you, however, also since last year, I’m seeing more people “wake up” and realize that even though they can drive down their street and things look “okay”, that truly they are not “okay”.
I’m hearing from “the average person on the (virtual reality) street” about them seeing the chem trails . . . about noticing the liar’s news propaganda. . . about the deceptions coming from president jihad in the White House. . . and more. SO, keep on writing, warning and broadcasting a few more are waking up and smelling the coffee . . . it has the stench of sulfur.
Blessings to you, your family and ALL that you and the other lay-your-life-down public truth-tellers. Prayers continue to go up and the good news about that? DARPA can’t stop them!!!
Dave, I came to the conclusion that SHTF when the weather turns cold. Most people would not leave their homes to go into a FEMA camp if the weather is warm. However, if you have no heat and it’s winter outside and you have no secondary way to keep your family warm, most people will flock to FEMA camps. Who likes to freeze?..nobody does! We can’t control whether someone forcibly removes us from our homes, but in case they don’t and all power is turned off, we will all need heat. Personally, I have been loading up on charcoal for my grill to heat my meals and stay warm, and I’m purchasing a 2 burner propane stove which is under $30. It’s all I can afford, but it’s definitely better than freezing. Prepare for winter folks, and next to food and water, warmth will be paramount.
May God bless the Hodges family and all of you who read this site.
Thanks for continuing to sound the alarm. Maybe a few more will be willing to hear God’s “trumpet” as well.
I can see losing the house after 2 years. No one will have income. Where are the best places to go to homestead. Look at all the land that we have in the national parks. Is there some good places to look to go after they take the house? Has anyone written anything up. Skousan has a book I bought.
EDITOR’S NOTE: HIS BOOK IS BADLY OUTDATED
Come on, all this could happen but it falls under if pigs had wings they would fly. If all these things did happen who would benefit? Would a rich person want to not be able to go to a store because they all have closed, as fitness centers, drug sores or all the nursing homes that are taking care of untold number, along with hospitals and schools. Let’s not forget the garbage pickup, gas stations, pizza places, restaurants, radio tv stations and emergency providers. NO people will demand change they don’t just lay down and die. Rough times have happened and will again but the degree might be a little overstated. We are far from perfect but people will know when to make change happen or at least I hope so.
I call them Bushvilles. Daddy Bush owns the Clintos and Obama. One man has essentially been running the show since Reagan. He owned Reagan too. Reagan was his shirt tail into the white house. Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld have been stinking up DC and manipulating DC since………….well…………around November 1963.
Having trouble with number 2 under The Last Great American Garage Sale. Is it me?
Executive order #10998 was written by Kennedy in January of 1962. I suppose the cold war threat brought about a “final solution” for a post atomic control grid for Agriculture. Very nauseating that it was never repealed.
Even though I am a senior citizen, I expect this to happen in my lifetime; however, if most of us can’t pay our mortgages, and the banks have failed, I foresee a large majority of people simply staying in their homes. If there is no one to buy them, then there is no need to leave. If ALL of us committed to this, the government would have a hard time evicting all of us. I am sure they will try, but if neighbors band together to defend their homes, we might buy some time. the MOST IMPORTANT thing for us to remember, if this happens, is that we are the government at that point, not the screw-ups in Washington who have led us here.
EDITOR’S NOTE: THE CHINESE OWN YOUR DEBT. YOU WILL NOT BE STAYING IN YOUR HOME IF YOU ARE NOT CURRENT IN YOUR PAYMENTS.
Dave,
I have noticed more and more scoffers writing their comments to your articles. These are probably the descendants of those who pounded on the ark as the water rose around them, or those who lived in Germany and said what concentration camps?, or those who said Pearl Harbor was a good place to park our entire Navy at one time.
Dr. Paininbutt & Elderlearner…for your family’s sake wake the hell up!! At least prepare for them because you are the man in the family I assume…or are you?! It is your responsibility to provide for them in times of peace and war. Isn’t it wise to at least prepare for the worst? I feel for your children..I really do.
Well seemingly:
Plan A: Re-institutionalize feeble-minded through utilizing its definition mental illness or defect such as 1870-90 and 1907-1960.
People in poverty such as homeless.
People with mental disorders such as Psychosis and dissent.
People with physical disability such as elderly.
People with genetic impurity or defect such as ethnic minorities.
Path of least resistance. If 1870-90 is any indication, those declared ‘mental illness/defect’ will not be in the Military, National Guard, FBI, CIA, and etc (note DHS utilizes the jobs/works program for recruitment and trained as death squads advertised as FEMA Corps) this includes governmental offices such as a Clerk of the Courts.
Martial law declaration is not necessary in Plan A.
Plan B Urban Civil unrest aka rioting and Rural false flags (Rural is where I am given to understand FEMA Corps has been training to be deployed).
Martial law is declared.
You said the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the banks own the money when we transfer it to them. Consider that the banks (via the Federal Reserve) DO OWN the money. It ain’t money; it’s credit. Look at any FRN and it says “note” on the top. A note is a loan. The federal income tax is a surcharge for using the FedRes CREDIT; minus deductions for use of our government issued “public money.”
EDITOR’S NOTE: A WORTHLESS LESSON IN SEMANTICS. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOU CALL IT BECAUSE IN A SHORT TIME, YOU WON’T HAVE ANYTHING LEFT.
It seems that some of Dave’s readers think that he overstates the case of what is coming down the pike.
It doesn’t matter I think. It doesn’t matter what Dave thinks. It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks.
The collapse of this country and Western Civilization is baked into the cake. It’s going to happen just like figuring out the answer to a mathematical problem. And there is nothing I, Dave or you can do about it. The only thing you can do is to try and mitigate the outcome as concerns you and your family.
And this is what Dave is trying to help you with. Listen to him.
And to the Mike Adams and the many others who are the Paul Reveres of our time.
I’m a single mom with two sons that have Type 1 juvenile diabetes. They have to have insulin shots everyday to live. I only make about $1300.00 per month. I want to prepare by buying food, weapons, etc. But don’t have the money. It’s very frustrating. I work full time and also have a part time job. Yeah, not sure what to do. Is anyone else in a situation kind of like this?
Considering the Canadians are bragging they sent 120 sniper teams to america,TO KILL ranchers and farmers,being out in the country might be dangerous to,The national guard has bought hundreds of camo painted FWD,quadtrack scooters to drive up every country road,IN GROUPS OF 7,OH yea they’ll be coming,and the PARK SERVICE,FOREST SERVICE,FISH AND GAME,yea their getting ready by BURNING every house in the woods they find,yea this country is just full of hero’s,including americas favorite hero’s the POLICE GANGS,they’ll be the ones coming to your door and raping and murdering your family,THEY’LL yell,Thrown out your weapons or we’ll kill everyone in the house,and they will….PRESTO america disarmed…death camps here we come……thank you GOOOD law abiding citizens…..we lose, SATAN wins…..hahaha,our BLOOD will be on you,enjoy your trip……take your beach clothes,its going to be hot…….
@Kay: Single mom, how much Government money are you getting each month?
I’m just really tired of hearing the collapse is just about hear, Ive heard
this for the 3 years I’ve been preparing. If It’s Going to happen let’s go I’m tired of waiting. I know this sounds bad but I really am tired of the waiting it seems like all I do is prepare and nothing happens. All these bad things were going to happen in September and one of the big ones was the currency reset, it didn’t happen. And this month the IMF is suppose to announce the new reserve currency on the 20th I guess we will see. Sorry just getting frustrated.
EDITOR’S NOTE: THE COMMON SENSE SHOW NEVER BOUGHT INTO THE SEPTEMBER BLOOD MOON HYPE AND SAID SO PUBLICLY. HOW LONG CAN THE FED KEEP PROPPING UP A LOSING GAME?
there are C.I.D. units embedded in local police force carrying out “quiet” operations . listen closely to your local scanner frequencies . here they are from brag .
strange terminology being used on local scanner . never heard before until recently . things such as “cobra 3” , “sam 1” , “nora 11” , “Charles 3” , “Edward 7” , “William 14” , and calls for cid unit – military police from brag .
I think that it will never come to all that. Americans will not let it get that far.
I won’t. And most Amercians will not either. There will be some organized resistance to any and all of the gummit’s tyranny. Liberty or Death? Food and Liberty. Liberty today! Liberty tomorrow! Liberty forever!
EDITOR’S NOTE: FUNNY, I DID NOT SEE ANYONE IN THE STREETS PROTESTING WHEN I WAS OUT TODAY. I THINK YOU SLEPT THROUGH THE ENDING…. WE HAVE ALREADY LOST OUR COUNTRY. YOUR CHALLENGE, MR PHELPS…MR. CRUISE…. IS TO ACCEPT THE IMPOSSIBLE MISSION OF ADAPTATION. TAKING BACK THE COUNTRY IS MISSION IMPOSSIBLE. FADE TO BLACK……
