Lessons from
the recent rash of natural disasters
I have never been more excited… and more
fearful. For the first time in American history, we have a President who is a true Washington outsider. Tax cuts… draining the
swamp, school choice, common-sense immigration reform… you name it.
It’s not just an ambitious agenda… it may prove impossible.
It may be music to the ears of real Americans
and businesses that have been hurting, but I am afraid it may never happen. Washington elites (including Republicans) do not surrender power and influence willingly.
Make NO mistake, Trump is a direct threat to
every last encrusted bureaucrat, paid-for politician, and far-left idealogue
hidden inside his
own administration. It’s not a matter of draining the swamp… it’s a matter of
making
it disappear…
it disappear…
They will do anything, I repeat ANYTHING to stop Trump. That includes: Fake news
stories unlike anything we have ever seen, collapsing the banking system from
within, and then, in 2018, taking BACK Congress from sissy Republicans with a veto-proof majority.
Just another conspiracy theory? I wish it
was…The rug is being pulled out from under him [and from the voter].
Since January I have
written that when our new President was sworn in the Deep State would do
everything it could to stab him in the back…I even went so far as to suggest
they might arrange to have him killed some time in his third year.
·
Obama’s
Shadow Government, prodded by Global Elites, will continue to sabotage Trump
with daily leaks from INSIDE the bureaucracy.
·
The
Obama wiretaps and surveillance of the Trump cabinet will be used to frighten
weak-kneed Republicans into abandoning his agenda — led by John McCain and
Lindsey Graham.
·
Janet
Yellen and the FED will pull the plug on ANY Trump economic progress — right
before the 2018 mid-terms. The Democrats will cash in with dozens of new seats…
maybe even veto-proof CONTROL of one or both Houses.
·
IF THAT
HAPPENS, the Evil Empire will return. And this time, there’s NO stopping them.
But how is this even
remotely possible?
The answer takes us to the heart of America’s, secret, shadow government
or what is better known as the Deep State
Through a tightening circle of taxes, rising
prices, regulations, and restrictions, the American people will be “herded”
into pens, and become utterly dependent on the largesse of the arrogant Elite.
LOOK at your own life.
The SIGNS are everywhere.
The SIGNS are everywhere.
You see it at the checkout counter in the
supermarket. You look at groceries on the conveyor and your head says
“…about $50 or so.” Then the cashier asks for $85.
You’ll see it in the rising cost of commuting
through tolls, taxes, and gas (which is due to skyrocket very soon).
You see it in your children as they are indoctrinated to believe that
climate change is the greatest threat to humanity, and socialism is actually
OK.
You see it in popular media and culture as the
United States, the only hope for liberty on the planet, is diminished,
demeaned, and quietly erased from the history books to make room for a new global order.
The Revisionists have
already begun by tearing down statues of Confederate war leaders [just as
totalitarian regimes have done for centuries and even ISIS has blasted
centuries old religious icons in the far east].
Are you really willing to bet your financial
future on the politicians in Washington D.C.?
The spirit of self-reliance is being driven out of Americans
beginning with our youth via indoctrination at schools and peer pressure.
If you’re like me, you’re sick and tired of
broken promises, greedy Wall Street insiders, billionaires, and bureaucrats. Progressive policies have bankrupted the
nation and are decimating the Middle Class while the power elite continually
chip away at our liberties with idiot laws like the so-called misnamed Patriot
Act.
You're Likely A Lot Less Prepared For a Crisis
Than You Realize
Lessons from
the recent rash of natural disasters
by Chris Martenson
It seems as if Mother Nature is waking up. Either she's trying
to send humans an important warning, or perhaps she's just out to kill us all.
Massive storms across the globe, earthquakes, and collapsing
ecosystems all combine to remind us that we are indeed intimately connected to
our planet's natural systems. And that our well-being rests on staying on
Mother Nature's good side.
Well, Mother Nature has seemed pretty pissed at us of late. Her
recent punishments should be taken as a disciplinary wake-up call: It's
time.
It’s time to prepare, everyone. Way past time.
And it’s time to recognize that there are multiplying failure points
across the many systems we depend on for our way of life -- both natural and
man-made. For example:
·
The
wealth gap between the rich and the poor is now grossly obscene and yet still
growing wider.
·
Our
industrially-farmed soils are being depleted of their nutrients.
·
Species
are going extinct every single day.
·
Global
oil consumption ticks higher every year.
·
Stock
price overvaluation is about the highest it's ever been.
·
Bonds
have never been more expensive (i.e. yields have never been lower) in all of
recorded history.
·
Debt
levels have never been higher (both globally and, in most cases, locally).
·
The
planet's population continues to explode (7.5 billion today, 10 billion by
2050) while key resources deplete at accelerating rates.
Only the foolish, or the seriously self-deluded, would think that
these observations and trends will be consequence-free.
Which means we have to begin doing things very differently. We have
to change who we are, the actions we take, the investments we prioritize, and
even our most fundamental values and priorities.
However most people simply will not prepare,
not notice, and not change anything until they are forced to by crisis. And
even then, some will resist any notion of change until they’ve lost everything. More here:
In its latest report,
“The 2017 Long-Term Budget Outlook,” the CBO admits the problem … sort of.
“If current laws remained generally
unchanged,” their officials write, “the United States would face steadily
increasing federal budget deficits and debt over the next 30 years — reaching
the highest level of debt relative to GDP ever experienced in this country.”
True … except for
the fact that, with honest accounting, it has already reached the
highest level relative to GDP ever experienced in this country
The Root of Hyperinflation: Massive Debt
Michael Hudson explains in his book The
Super Imperialism that the U.S. is able to control the world’s finances not through
being the world’s creditor, but as its debtor.
Convincing you that debt = money is now the
foundation of the world’s monetary system.
But this can’t last forever. America
salvaged the dollar’s role as reserve currency after Nixon took us off the gold
standard by agreeing with Saudi Arabia that all oil and gas would be priced in
dollars. So the rest of the world had to use dollars for most transactions.
Willem Middlekoop explains in his book The Big Reset: The War on Gold and the Financial
Endgame, “Only when dollar-holding nations decide to buy natural
resources instead of U.S. treasuries is the dollar’s reserve status in danger.
This is exactly the exit strategy China and Russia seem to be playing right
now. In recent years, the Russians have sold most of their dollar holdings,
while they tripled their gold position. The Chinese have stopped buying extra U.S.
treasuries since 2010 while they have imported and invested in huge amounts of
gold and other hard assets.”
Russia and China have agreed to oil deals
worth billions, where China will buy huge quantities of Russian oil and gas—not
priced in dollars.
Did you think China’s vast accumulation of
commodities was about infrastructure and building those “ghost cities” you’ve
seen photos of on the Internet?
Forbes reports that, “All that metal China is mining isn’t really
designed for job creation and dumping steel into the world, it’s for building
oil storage tanks.”
China and Russia are doing everything they
can to get out from under the dollar’s domination while the U.S. will use its
military power to defend the dollar’s hegemony and reserve status anywhere around
the world.
It must, with current Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) hovering around $17 trillion and our debts
and unfunded liabilities amounting to more
than $77 trillion.
Few can imagine that America is not “rich,”
that the system is not honest, that our military isn’t about “freedom,” that
our monetary system is indeed very sophisticated fraud.
But the fraud has reached a point where the
depreciation of this “money” is going to start to be noticeable.
It will spiral out of control because of
terms you may have heard like “quantitative easing” and “helicopter money.”
They are the same. It’s showering billions of dollars into our economic system
to prop it up.
In the short term, printing billions and
injecting it into the economy gives things a lift, but it doesn’t take very
long for this massive devaluation of dollars by printing endless amounts to
come back in the form of out of control inflation—hyperinflation.
How should you prepare for such
hyperinflation? I gave you the full guide in my Ultimate “End of the
Dollar” Defense Manual, but the three core principles are:
Accumulate Gold: While dollars can be printed freely, gold isn’t being
manufactured. It is being
discovered and mined, true, but its supply
is finite, while its demand is increasing.
Long after dollars have lost their value,
gold will continue to have intrinsic value. Get it, and keep it with you, not
in a safety deposit box.
Stockpile: The collapse of the dollar will mean shipments won’t move and
products won’t be manufactured. Having at least a three-month supply of food, water,
fuel and other necessities will help get you and your family through the
initial shock of hyperinflation.
In addition to the standard staples of
dried food and gasoline, consider what unique needs your family has. If you
have pets, store food for them. If you
wear eyeglasses, put away an extra pair.
Invest Wisely Now: Wise use of your assets now allows you to take your profits and
put them in gold. The better you stay abreast of financial issues, the more you
can use that information for your benefit.
Remember that the crowd has a herd
mentality.
The key to government power is gradualism. Anything can be accomplished by government over a long enough time period. People accept their conditioning over time no matter what it is. Even the most absurd of notions come to be accepted over a long enough time frame.
The principle of government is that political power is maximized by forcibly leveling every individual to the same status of conformity, collectivism, ecumenicalism and serfdom. And since that leveling cannot be accomplished by raising up the weakest, it must always be accomplished by reducing the strongest.
FINAL
THOUGHTS….
Few people seem able to think for themselves…even university
libraries such as the Univ. of CA-Berkeley recently removed 135,000 books from
its Mofitt Library to make room for open meeting spaces and ‘nap pods’ for
students. The Univ. of Ca-Santa Cruz
removed 60 percent of printed material [valued at between $2 and $6 million –
destroyed or hauled off to storage] in the Science and Engineering library and
never notified its teaching staff.
A proposal to remove 90 percent of written materials from the
Cabot Science library at Harvard was scaled back slightly by the faculty…70,000
books were removed from UC Berkeley by students. As one student noted “I’ve never needed a
physical book and have never checked one out.
I can’t honestly say I even know how.”
This, despite dozens of studies which indicate that people who
read, retain information for longer periods of time and most often wind up
smarter than those who don’t read…it is no wonder to me why Americans continue
to rank lower than students from other nations.

We have worked hard to prepare but there is always something more - it's hard being a Boy Scout.
The number one disease in this nation is STUPIDITY and it starts with progressives [and it has permeated the NFL].
You're always generous with many, many resources...
