@dcjogger wait until the IMF pulls the rug out from under us by removing the dollar as the world reserve currency. that will be the nail in our economic coffin.
The US is headed for a total collapse. There is no chance the globalists will arrest the bankers, end the wars, reduce the debt, or restore the Bill of Rights and Americans don't care.
All that is unknown is the timeframe for the US collapse.
Will the elites manage to kick the debt can down the road for another 2, 5, 30, or 100 years?
The US collapse will happen in stages.
The USA is now at the point where the US is a total police state and the government is not legitimate. The US is no longer a free country, everything is illegal, but the government and illegal aliens don't obey the law.
Americans should stop paying taxes, practice civil disobedience, protest, and stop getting driver licenses, fishing licenses, gun permits, and business licenses.
You wouldn't listen to a stranger who told you not to chew gum so why should you listen to someone who is wearing a costume, badge, and a gun?
Americans should encourage the Gestapo, soldiers, and government workers to quit and stop being puppets for the 1%.
Americans should constantly be educating others about freedom.
Americans should be stocking up with guns, gold, and food, and making exit plans to prepare for the collapse.
A full-scale civil war is not likely when Americans are well-fed, the A/C, electricity, and water work, government checks are good, there are bread and circuses, and Americans have beer and weed.
When the stock market collapses, the elites will react by printing money and giving out bailouts and using the media to say that the economy has recovered.
If the stock market crash is severe, ATM cards don't work, government checks bounce, inflation is 1 million percent, taxes are 100%, and people are starving in the streets, Americans might grow some balls and start firing on checkpoints, seizing army bases, and flying planes into government buildings. Americans might also have a racial civil war or a civil war between Communists and Nazis.
The government might react by shutting down the Internet, nationalizing property, closing churches, shutting down newspapers, banning guns, and herding Americans into concentration camps or cities to be starved. The ruling class might also start WWIII with North Korea, Russia, China, and Iran as a distraction or as a way to boost the economy.
If Americans refuse to resist, the US will turn into North Korea.
If Americans successfully revolt, the USA might break up into two or more countries.
Americans should understand that people can tolerate a great deal of government abuse. The USSR, Cuba, North Korea, and Cambodia never rebelled against tyranny. Vietnam and China are even grateful their governments dialed back tyranny enough that they can start businesses.
Americans who refuse to resist are no better than the elites who have destroyed the USA with wars, debt, and tyranny.

Regardless of the Fed Funds rate policy decision today, the economy is spinning down the drain. Lower rates wonât help stimulate much economic activity.
Maybe it will arouse a little more financial engineering activity on Wall Street and it might give a temporary boost to mortgage refinancings. But the economic ârecoveryâ of the last 8 years has been an illusion based on massive money printing and credit creation. And credit creation is de facto money printing until the point at which the debt needs to be repaid.
Unfortunately, the system is at the point at debt saturation. Thatâs why the economy is contracting despite the Fedâs best efforts to create what it incorrectly references as âinflation.â

This feels like Obama's 3rd term.
Americans scream that the US collapse is fake news and insist that the USA is a moral, free, and peaceful country with a balanced budget.
Has Trump arrested Clinton, freed Assange, opposed aid to Israel, arm sales to Saudi Arabia, trade wars, nationalizing industries, bailouts, subsidies, sanctions, debt, abortion, homosexuality, ending minimum wages, opening concentration camps, banning free speech, religious bans, and airline seat regulations?
Has Trump arrested the bankers, drained the swamp, decreased taxes, kicked out the illegal aliens, ended the Fed, ended the wars, ended welfare, ended Obamacare, and restored the Constitution?
Do you really think that security cameras, license plate readers, checkpoints, redlight cameras, speed cameras, FBI facial and voice recognition, curfews, gun bans, NSA wiretapping, the end to the right to silence, warrantless searches, private prisons, mandatory minimums, 3 strikes laws, DNA databases, CISPA, SOPA, IMBRA, private prison quotas, no knock raids, take down notices, no fly lists, terror watch lists, Constitution free zones, stop and frisk, 3 strikes laws, kill switches, National Security Letters, DNA databases, kill lists, FBAR, FATCA, Operation Chokepoint, civil forfeiture, CIA torture, NDAA indefinite detention, secret FISA courts, FEMA camps, laws requiring passports for domestic travel, IRS laws denying passports for tax debts, gun and ammo stockpiles, laws outlawing protesting, police militarization, and Jade Helm don't exist?
Do you honestly believe that TSA groping doesn't happen?
Americans have no critical thinking skills, no knowledge about history, no personal responsibility, no ability to understand unintended consequences, and cannot see hypocrisy so all Americans can do is deny that the USA is collapsing, blame others, say Americans are just victims and nothing is their fault, and vehemently attack anyone who criticizes their beloved government overlords.
You get the feeling that a US president who hates the Bill of Rights and loves debt and war is a traitor.
You can't help thinking Americans who believe that the US isn't decaying are deluded and mentally ill.
The USA is collapsing into mass insanity.
How can Americans look in a mirror today without feeling complete disgust and shame or sleep at night?
The US feels like it is committing suicide.
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.

Americans are so retarded that they scream regulations will help the economy because more prisons and guards are needed when business people are arrested.
Americans have become so batshit insane today that they insist hating Trump means that you love Obama.
Americans scream anyone who loves freedom is a Commie.
Americans say that the roads would turn to dust, people would be forced to ride horses, and there would be no electricity if there was no income tax.
Americans don't realize that freedom, once lost, is lost forever. How can Americans be free again if young people never experienced freedom and are taught tyranny is good?
Nazis insist hate speech should be legal, but protesting and burning the flag outlawed.
Do Americans have any critical thinking skills at all?
Are Americans just victims who are not responsible for anything while screaming that the US decay is not their fault and blaming everyone else?
Are Americans crippled retards?
Do Americans have any sense of shame?
Aren't Americans disgusted at the US collapse?
How can Americans look in the mirror or sleep at night now?

THE CITY OF Dunedin, Fla., wants Jim Fickenâs home.
Fickenâs mom died, so he went to South Carolina to take care of her estate. He asked a friend to look after his house.
But then the friend died, and no one cut Fickenâs grass.
When it grew to 10 inches, Dunedin officials started fining him $500 a day.
The fine is now about $30,000.
âI was shocked,â Ficken says in my latest video. City officials say they will foreclose on his home if he doesnât pay the fine, and Ficken doesnât have that much money.
âDo you have $30,000 lying around?!â he asked me.
âThe city has gone nuclear!â complains his lawyer, Ari Bargil. â$500 per day for the violation of having tall grass. ... They could have done what their own ordinances permit them to do: hire a lawn service to come out and mow the grass. Then send Jim a bill for 150 bucks. But they didnât do that.â
Why not?
Bargil and Ficken say itâs because Dunedinâs officials just want money.
Dunedinâs politicians wouldnât talk to us.
Instead, they spent $25,000 on a public relations firm that told reporters, âDunedin has no desire to impose large fines... (only to) ensure that Dunedin is a high-quality community.â
The cost of âhigh qualityâ keeps going up.
Eleven years ago, Dunedin fined people $34,000.
Today, they want about that much from Ficken alone.
Last year Dunedin collected $1.3 million in fines from residents.
âItâs pretty apparent that code enforcement is a major cash cow for the city,â says Bargil.
âI got violated for a lawn mower in my yard!â says one resident who has been fined $32,000. âThey violated me for a hole the size of a quarter in my stucco ... They find people they can pick on ... and they keep picking on them.â
She started crying as she recounted: âI canât tell you how many sleepless nights Iâve had because of the city of Dunedin. Just try to think of what to say to them, just to have them leave me alone.â
âThe city is just a bunch of bullies, and they expect people not to stand up to âem because to stand up to âem requires expensive legal help,â says Ficken.
Ficken managed to get expensive legal help for free from the Institute for Justice, a law firm that defends individuals abused by governments.
All across the country, âprivate citizens are being essentially extorted by their governments and fined incredible amounts of money for really, really small violations,â says Bargil.
You can be fined for not trimming plants, the way Ficken was, but you can also be fined for trimming too much.
A city in North Carolina fined a local church $100 per branch ($4,000) for excessive tree-pruning.
And in places such as Dunedin, if you canât pay a fine, theyâll take your home.
âThe city attorney of Dunedin last year sought permission to foreclose on 18 properties,â says Bargil.
That violates the Eighth Amendment, says the Institute for Justice.
The amendment not only protects all of us from âcruel and unusual punishmentâ but also from âexcessive fines.â
The Founding Fathers, says Bargil, ârecognized that the ability to fine is the ability to cripple. Itâs one of the ways, other than incarceration, that government can really oppress.â
If governments can oppress, they usually will.
We should be grateful for the Eighth Amendmentâs protection against excessive fines.
And whatâs more excessive than politicians taking your home because you didnât cut your grass?

This is America. What happened to noticing someone needs a hand and just mowing your neighbors yard? When the city officials noticed the problem they should have made a phone call and offered to have a worker come mow the yard at his/her normal hourly rate. This story is ridiculous and those involved should be ashamed.
