    Everything Is Going To Be Alright?

    The Economic Collapse
    March 31, 2012

    Is the U.S. economy going to be okay? Well, if the only source you listened to was the mainstream media, you would be left with the distinct impression that the U.S. economy is heading toward a full recovery and that everything is going to be alright. Unfortunately, that is not the case at all. The United States is rapidly becoming poorer as a nation and less competitive in the global marketplace. At the same time, consumer debt levels are rising, corporate debt levels are rising, state and local government debt levels are rising and the U.S. government is indulging in a debt binge unlike anything the world has ever seen. Considering the insane amount of money the U.S. government has been pumping into the economy, we should have seen a much more robust recovery by now. Instead, the employment statistics have barely moved and government dependence is at an all-time high. That is really sad, because this is as good as “the recovery” is going to get. The next major economic downturn is just around the bend, and in future years millions of us will desperately yearn for the “good old days” of 2012.



    Below, I have compiled a list of things that I have entitled “Everything Is Going To Be Alright?”

    It is composed in the form of a song, but it really isn’t meant to be sung. It is probably actually more of an economic horror poem than it is a song. What I have tried to do is to point out the absurdity of what we are all being told by our politicians and by the media. Hopefully you will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it….

    Hate to break it to you: everything is going to be alright.

    The economy likely is going to get worse and who knows how bad it could or will get. I came from abject poverty and I never was afraid. Whatever happens we'll deal with it.

    Stop living in fear.

    I used to think precious metals was the #1 priority. Then the other day someone mentioned on here or on Alex Jones that it doesn't matter as much as you might think. Because first you need to be able to survive the initial chaos. And for sure everything at the beginning is going to be severely inflated. So the best route is to first stockpile all you can of food and weapons and a nice bug out location.

    Your are right, but think about the Americans who have never experienced poverty or any sort of hardship. Many have lived a life where US has been blessed being #1 from 50s to today. What will they do? What will the welfare recipients, prescription drug addicts do when they cant get their supply?

    You can keep telling yourself that over and over again, but I'd rather choose to live in reality than put my hands over my ears and say 'lalalala' and that everything will be OK as the country collapses into chaos.

    The country isn't going to collapse into chaos. Argentina has about 1/20th the wealth of the United States and they don't live in chaos. Most Argentinians I know love their country and love their lives.

    I'm not saying don't work to make things better. I support Ron Paul specifically because I want to make things better. But stop living in fear of some end of days scenario. You're just going to make yourself insane.

    How'd that whole Y2K planning turn out for everyone?

    That may be your perception of fear--I cannot speak for others, but it is better to prepare yourself for the worst case scenario than to walk around thinking everything is okay. Besides government lies all the time, why would I want to start believing them now?

    "For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and provide for it."
    Patrick Henry


    ETA: Besides I am not worried about living in poverty, as Machiavelli stated above, it's those who have lived rather posh comfortable lives is whom I am concerned about. "Desperate times call for desperate measures."

    We got predator drone surveillance in the sky, the government themselves preparing for civil unrest and economic collapse, printing money like they know it might be worthless tomorrow, inflation going up, the economy in a death spiral and so on. The country is already collapsing into chaos, it's just in the beginning stages.

    I'm not saying don't work to make things better. I support Ron Paul specifically because I want to make things better. But stop living in fear of some end of days scenario. You're just going to make yourself insane.

    What were the debt totals in 2000? How was the economy? Were we living under police state and martial law? How many wars were we in? Was the Constitution in affect then? Do tell.

    'Concerns' should not be misconstrued to mean 'fears.'

    "What happens if my concerns are completely unfounded? Nothing. But what happens if my concerns are justified and ignored? Nothing good."

    If it ever comes to 300,000,000 starving people in this country things won't be OK. There has never been a massive population in this situation and all bets are off it it ever gets destabilized.
    Being aware and prepared is not living in fear necessarily. Most people will be caught off guard because they live in ignorance. People should live aware, but not in fear.

    America has always been the target. They cannot have their one world government until they plunder this country into a third world status--which we are descending to rather quickly. A collapse will ensue chaos, the likes we have never seen. It can be stopped, but only if the people understand the agenda!

    For starters you need to read Paul Joseph Watson's book: Order Out of Chaos

    Here is a sample of it: http://www.infowars.com/pdfs/order_ch.PDF

    Make sure you have contacts and a meeting place at the "bug out location", I hear talk of front lines being set up around here to prevent an outpour from the cities. Just saying.

    Worst case scenario is we and Russia drop a few thousand nukes and the world is uninhabitable for any leaving creatures. You can't prepare yourself for everything.

    There are not going to be 300 million starving people in this country. See - that is fear mongering.

    Argentinians have been living close to the ground for many generations and as they say freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose. I Remember many many people "disappearing" in Argentina during their collapse. BTW they are about ready to have a similar collapse again. Should be interesting to watch.

    It really is about the ability to sustain oneself and most of this country's population cannot and will resort to violence to eat if they ever became desperate.

    LIVE, LOVE and SUPPORT RON PAUL!!

    Y2K was great for me......I fixed a bunch of code to keep the banks running at 100 bucks an hour for a couple of years....as many hours as I could work, you had to peel me off the keyboard.

    IF is the operative word here.
    This is not the same as...

    watch out there is going to be billions of starving people.......

    do you see the difference?
    I guess you equate being prepared with fear. I equate it with knowledge.

    I'm not talking about gov saying this, it's citizens here. They are afraid they will get overrun and gardens destroyed, canned goods stolen, cattle butchered on spot and wasted, etc...

    I see a need for coordinated effort between some in the city and those on land to prepare for possiblity of working together.

    Like, I'm willing to share my land and garden, you can setup tents (then buildings) and help work the land for all concerned. But I will defend my family and their well being.

    Well if that were to happen the elites have underground shelters to weather the radiation storms. I don't think you understand the gravity of how these psychopaths work? George Carlin said it best...
