The Economy
« on: August 20, 2021, 10:36:09 PM »
There are at least a dozen land mines that we have to be very careful about but I think, at the moment, the Economy is the most dangerous. I see everyone going "Business as usual" and its very disturbing to me. I'm not rich and I'm not into investing but I do watch what's going on and we're walking a tightrope right now. The odd thing is that we are going in the exact opposite direction from what we should be. I've made a few comments here and there about it but nobody seems to take it serious. Damn! I just don't see it as my job to feed everybody I know when the SHTF. Right now, its easy to see that the fan is turned on and running wide open and the Shit Truck is on its way. I guess when the Truck arrives, all those dumbasses will probably just say, "Oh, look, a fertilizer truck has come to fertilize our yards." :facepalm: Are any of y'all watching the Economy like I am? :hiding:

Yes.  Precious metals and not precious ones.

 "I've made a few comments here and there about it but nobody seems to take it serious. Damn! I just don't see it as my job to feed everybody"

Same old story.   Shout fire in a crowded theatre and reap the same response whether there is a growing blaze or not.
Doesn't take a PhD in human studies to know that every smug (or frightened) denier of possible catastrophe will be every bit as needy of food in the pinch as when the shelves were all fully stocked.   And that their will to survive will activate without conscience or remorse if things get bad.

When general starvation becomes our commander and the order is to "shoot into the crowd" to preserve own prepped lives, may God have mercy on all of our souls.

Fully expecting a downturn cycle.  The Idiot in Chief just ended Afghanistan where we dumped trillions for no reason.  All those companies that were feeding at that trough just had the tap turned way down.  Same story for every post war period- always an economic downturn.  My guess is that when they start fussing (if they havent already) we'll see another "peacekeeping" mission somewhere, if not an outright war.
Couple that with the already shaky economy and I think an implosion is likely. There's already another debt ceiling crisis and the housing market is starting to slow. And the left keeps talking about shutdowns and initiating vaccine mandates- which can only slow the economy for small business.  All the while the gov't is doing all it can (it seems) to destroy industry.  I keep thinking if they actually do an AR ban how many companies will go under.
As always, how bad an implosion depends on how long everyone gives face value that the "full faith and credit of the US" actually means something in backing the dollar. But then again, we ain't Argentina: if our house folds, so does most of the rest of the world.  A vested interest to keep up the charade if I've ever heard one. In short, BOHICA.

I try to look at everything as a whole, world events, economy, political crimes, social media censorship, lies from mainstream media and DC, etc....

From my point of view they are pissing all over us and telling us "dont worry, its only rain". But a few dingleberries are hitting the fan and they are distracting and pointing in the other direction saying, nothing to see here, move along sheeple....

I see everything going on in afghanistan as a well thought out plan coming to fruition. The American people are completely burnt out on this war and the plan is to leave in a way that encourages the terrorist groups to take over, which they have done. It wont be long before they start their terrorist's actions on a world wide level again and after enough Americans are dead we will be drawn into that war again. But they will also use this as an excuse to infringe on all our rights and push us closer to a commie state. Being drawn back in will supply money to the deepstate scum from around the world and the most powerful group of civilians will be disarmed...

Thats my .02 for today  :cowboy:

The IDIOTS with high IQ's think they can do a currency switch and fool the public. At the moment they actually are getting away with it. They know that printed currency is worthless and its only a matter of time before the public catches on. They are bombarding us 24/7 with propaganda encouraging the fools to use that plastic money for all their purchases. They will actually make it happen because my fellow man is a fool. Those who know what is going on are calling it what it is..... DIGITAL CURRENCY. There is no coin shortage but they are holding back as much coinage as possible and businesses are posting signs to pay with exact change or else you need to use a Credit/Debit card. Our local WALMART will not accept cash at all. The Federal Reserve, the Government, and the really large Corporations are all in bed together on this scheme. Once they get the Digital Currency system fully up and running, then controlling people will be only a keystroke away. If you don't OBEY, they will lock up your account and you will not have access to your Digital Money. I'm not playing along. I'm holding Cash, Silver, Nickel, and Copper. When they lock up my account, I'll just switch over to REAL MONEY and they can go pound sand. :pissed:

Bottom-line, what is happening all around us (USA) is towards our shift to The Great Reset.

The Great Reset is all about economics, period! Every action that happens points to that. If O'Biden's puppeteer's cannot collapse the economy via covid, hundreds of thousand illegal aliens, via crazy spending bills, etc. there will be a war. 

The best we all can do, is to prepare for what is coming. Control what we have control of.

If they do collapse the economy, that will cause a war too, right?

Yeah Grizz, world war is inevitable. Think post the Industrial Revolution (WW I), post world wide depression (WW II) to name two world wide events. There are dozens of other examples.

World war in progress, consecutive civil war here to boot?

Yes, the world will see a significant decrease in population.

Islands in the stream, that is what we are .  (or work to be?)
