Wow.

Americans should look at the big picture.

Conservatives used to support the rich because Conservatives thought that they would become wealthy one day, too.

Liberals used to hate the rich.

Now the elites have embraced socialism.

The elites seem to be willing to lose money in the short-term if they can kill off the 99% in the long-term because the ruling class will then be able to steal the property of the 99%.

Concentration camps cost money, but the USSR could afford them.

The ruling powers don't mind losing money if they can gain control.

If the wealthy cared about money so much then why would Bezos buy the money-losing Washington Post?

If the rich cared so much about money now then why would Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit be eager to kick off users?

If the 1% cared so much money now then why would banks refuse to allow gun owners have bank accounts?

If globalists cared about money so much then why would they stop selling guns?

Americans seem to think that the elites won't open up concentration camps or shut down the Internet because the 1% will lose money, but what if the ruling class wants you dead so that they can steal your money?

The elites obviously wants the 99% dead. The ruling powers promote wars, debt, tyranny, abortion, immorality, regulations, trade wars, welfare, suicide, offshoring, illegal immigration, and want Americans to be herded into the cities so the elites can then cut off the food supply.

Americans who are mobile, go Galt, drop-out, go underground, work for cash, and become nameless and stateless nomads risk wasting their lives if the US doesn't collapse in the next 30 years. Americans who do leave, however, might be safer when the US Ponzi
economy implodes living on a beach in a 3rd world country. An economic downturn might not be as shocking if the population is used to being poor and you can fish for food. An anonymous American living in a foreign country might not be in as much danger as a American living in the USA. Americans who drop out now can also say that they are not funding US wars, tyranny, or debt.

Americans should adjust their plans today. If you wanted to be a doctor or start a construction company and buy a McMansion, you should consider that the USA is collapsing and make other plans.

What would you do if you lived in Cambodia in 1975 and wanted to start a repair shop instead of being sent to the killing fields?

What would you do if you lived in Nazi Germany in 1940 and was drafted into the army?

What would you do if you lived in China in 1958?

When you live in a police state, you don't have choices.

Do you think that there might be a correlation between record debt and a record stock market?

The collapse of the US is not just a fight between freedom and tyranny, the fight in the USA today is a fight between good and evil.

One wonders if US wars lead to terrorism, refugees, debt, and tyranny.

@dcjogger mmm. But Libya was the choke point for African migration to Europe. The rest was bullshit military-industrial complex activity. Libya was the worst thing to happen for decades if not centuries

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals.

It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

You almost need a degree in Collapse Science to study all the angles of collapse.

The elites want to kill off the 99% and no one cares. The US is a bankrupt warmongering police state now and Americans walk around like everything is normal.

There is no rule of law now, but Americans are so distracted, depraved, degraded, divided, immoral, and ignorant that they celebrate every abuse and praise every new decree.

Americans don't need to be forced to buy the phones and anti-depressants that enslave them.

The ruling class turned the USA into a police state 1000 ways slowly by arresting farmers for plowing fields and photographers for taking pictures and suddenly by constructing NSA wiretapping.

The elites didn't suddenly ban guns. The ruling powers took guns from criminals, the homeless, teens, the mentally ill, blacks, the elderly, sex offenders, drunks, potheads, illegal immigrants, and Muslims gradually.

When you live in an environment like this, freedom-loving patriots might think that they must leave since changing the system is difficult.

Who would patriots attack if there was a revolution? Government buildings? Who are the elites? Zuckerberg? Buffet? Bezos?

Americans scream that the border could never be closed because the USA is too big, but size didn't stop the USSR from being locked down.

How do people in North Korea and Cuba live in police states?

Americans need to be like the Japanese soldiers in WWII who escaped and lived in the jungles in the Philippines for 30 years.

The ruling class just needs to tighten the screws a little more.

Soon the US will have national ID cards, passports will be revoked, and domestic travel permits will be required.

Every American will be required to submit a DNA sample, give fingerprints, get microchip implants, and be registered in a facial scan database.

Internet filters will first be required on all computers, mobile phones will be banned, and then the Internet will be shut down.

Free speech and protests will be illegal.

Reporters will be arrested.

Government loudspeakers will be installed on street corners to broadcast propaganda.

Newspapers, magazines, and TV and radio stations will be closed.

Churches will be shut.

Books will be burned.

All guns will be required to be registered and then banned.

Wiretapping will increase.

Neighborhood watch groups will be set up, undercover police will be everywhere, and warrantless home searches will become routine.

Taxes will be raised.

Cash will be banned, there will be negative interest rates, bank fees, bail-ins, capital controls, and gold will be outlawed.

Torture and extra-judicial assassinations will become routine. Government drones and robots will patrol everywhere.

Lawyers will be arrested.

Elections will be cancelled, juries will be banned, courts will have show trials, and congress will be eliminated.

Private property will be banned.

Americans will be required to wear uniforms and attend study sessions.

Concentration camps will be opened and Americans will be starved and killed.

Since everything was illegal in the Soviet Union, Russians just gave up and the USSR collapsed.

Those who fail to learn history will be doomed to repeat it.

The US will look like North Korea does today.

Some Americans may have thought that tyranny would never come to the US because the rich, celebrities, media, politicians, and American people would resist.

Who would have thought that the rich would loot the country by getting bailouts and subsidies while being the ones conspiring and building the police state by paying actors, singers, and atheletes to distract Americans with bread and circuses, using reporters to push propaganda, real crises, and false flags, and buying off and corrupting politicians with campaign donations and cushy job promises to start wars, import refugees that weaken and divide the US, drive up the debt, make laws that enslave Americans, and throw crumbs to pacify the 99% in the form of food stamps, Obamacare, Obamaphones, and public housing?

The destruction of the USA is nearly complete.

One of the greatest tools the media has at its disposal in manipulating audiences, is the knowledge that we live in a civilization that finds it extremely hard to concentrate for long periods of time and stay focused on a particular subject. It is this weakness that has made most news consumers pawns in a chess game being controlled by the corporate media.

We see it everyday where people have great difficulty relaxing for a few hours if they are not engaged in something else.

Go to any public park and look at the people either jogging to taking strolls. They are wearing headphones or earplugs, because the idea of just jogging and enjoying an evening run is boring if not incorporated with something else like listening to music.

Even simple acts like sitting on a train ride and enjoying the scenery is very difficult for many unless they are watching a movie, listening to music or texting a friend.

Anybody who has been to the movies knows how annoying it is to try to concentrate on big screen, while someone else is busy playing with his or her cell phone despite the message before the beginning of the movie that urges moviegoers to turn off their electronic devices.

Some would call that multi-tasking, which has its own place and time, but what would happen if someone were to go on vacation without all the gadgets that have created a deficit in the average person's attention?

There are some people who cannot fall asleep unless the television is on. When one turns of the television, they suddenly wake up. We have it all confused. It is supposed to be the other way around. Turning off the TV should cause someone to fall asleep, while turning it on should wake the same person up. No wonder we need alarm clocks because our circadian rhythms or biological clocks have been corrupted. People who are whole and healthy, hardly need alarm clocks and wake up everyday almost at the same time—perhaps 4 a.m. or 5 a.m.

When one goes to places like South America, Asia or Africa, it is not unusual to find people who can have conversations in their leisure time for two or three straight hours. In America that would be almost impossible, due to the addiction to technology, and the difficulty people have in savoring such special moments.

Even simple things like chewing food properly have become difficult for people in the West, particularly in America. You see people at restaurants, or in their own homes chewing food only a few times, then washing it down with a soda. It explains why this is a very constipated generation.

The communication skills that people had growing up in the 1960s, 70s and 80s to form true, solid friendships and relationship are almost non-existent in this generation. Remote connectivity has created a false sense of belonging.

People can connect to Web servers and play online games with virtual friends, while social media and dating sites have platforms for electronic communication, yet in real life the skills and ability to sustain such relationships are very poor, particularly in developed countries.

The media knows this. It understands that the average person in the West has difficulty holding an uninterrupted thought for over 20 minutes, so they create distractions in order to manipulate news.

In Third World regions like Africa, people are also easily fooled, not because they cannot concentrate, but there is apathy when it comes to topics or issues that have depth and substance. It is the reason why think tanks are very rare in Africa, because such institutes would require people who appreciate depth of thought, yet the African has been slowly programmed to gravitate toward gossip and comedic acts, rather than the important aspects of life that can develop the continent and improve their lives.

The American, on the other hand, has been slowly brainwashed to gravitate toward entertainment and sensationalism, to prevent the use of critical thinking in what is presented by the media. The result is, both people in the Third World and developed world are very easy to deceive through the use of advertising, sales gimmicks and media programming to create a distraction that prevents the viewers from concentrating on the important issues that affect their surroundings.

Some examples will be demonstrated in the coming paragraphs. Privacy is an issue that affects the lives of every American, and for many years, using the Patriot Act, the National Security Agency (NSA) had been covertly collecting data from Americans' phone records and storing it permanently without the knowledge of the people.

A lawsuit was filed against collection of private data by the NSA, and on May 7, in a 97-page ruling, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit held that a provision in the US Patriot Act, known as Section 215, cannot be legitimately interpreted to allow bulk collection of domestic calling records.

This of course was a huge victory for Americans, as much as it was an enormous embarrassment and defeat for the Obama Administration. Yet the media had to create a diversion to prevent Americans from concentrating on what the ruling meant for them and the power that had been handed to them by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.

The solution—a story of a White woman who identifies as Black hit the airwaves. Before it could even sink into the minds of Americans that they could hold the federal government accountable for invading their privacy, the media decided to run the story of Rachel Dolezal president of a local NAACP chapter in Washington state who claimed to be Black.

The media understood the importance of sensationalism and how it could be used to distract its American audience as they ran the story. It worked.

People quickly forgot about the very important court ruling regarding their privacy, as they consumed every bit of the Dolezal story.

Before that story was aired, several allegations, particularly in 2014, popped up of White policemen randomly shooting unarmed Blacks, more or less using them as target practice. To create a distraction, the media decided to run with another sensational story—the Bill Cosby alleged scandal. Every time a shooting would occur, an alleged Bill Cosby victim would also pop up, as distraction. One really has to hand it to the media for finding all these victims from 50 years ago and giving them a platform. When the shootings intesified last year, first they started running stories about the so-called "knockout game," then later in the year, the Ebola story was blown out of proportion, causing Americans to panick and forget about the cop killings. The Ebola story slowly died out, but the treacherous cops, whom an outsider could mistake for competitors with ISIS to see who is more ruthless, have continued their thuggish behavior.

In mid-July, a video of Planned Parenthood selling fetuses from aborted babies surfaced. Because this was extremely embarrassing to the liberals, once again to create a distraction from the important issue at hand, the corporate media, which is all liberal, would run the story of Cecil the African lion that was killed by a dentist, as a distraction to the important issue of Planned Parenthood crimes.

There was more outrage about one lion being killed than thousands of babies innocently being murdered for the purpose of having their body parts sold.

The losers in the Planned Parenthood scandal are Black women, since they commit the most abortions in America.

They have to pay the doctor to kill their child, then the doctor turns around and makes a profit off of the Black women's dead children. While the Black woman is struggling to put food on her table, the abortionist is using the profits from the fetuses to pay off his yacht or vacation in Hawaii. Absurd!

There are many, many more incidents that could be named but these are just a few of them.

This manipulation of news is only possible because the audiences are compliant. There is a reason why the ruling elite hold powerful positions in society. They question everything and are able to stay focused. To defeat the news manipulation, people should become non-compliant and dig for their own facts. Once they have the truth, it will help them break free from the matrix.

Dark times are coming.

Americans seem to be dealing with the US collapse by having cognitive dissonance. Watching Americans use mental gymnastics to explain their hypocrisy and narratives is difficult to watch.

The very same Americans who scream Obama was an evil monster for embracing wars, debt, and tyranny then turn around and insist Trump is a holy god for supporting wars, debt, and the police state.

Nazis who insist they love freedom then swear unconstitutional NSA wiretapping is just fine.

Americans say that they love free speech, but then become batshit insane when anyone suggests flag burning and protests should legal.

Americans who scream that they love the free market say the US needs a trade war.

Fascists who insist that they love gun rights say they would immediately surrender their firearms when Trump bans guns because Muslims are dangerous.

Nazis love when the Gestapo arrests niggers for wearing baggy pants, but Fascists are shocked when the Gestapo arrests racists for using hate speech.

Americans also seem to be dealing with the collapse by changing history to meet their point of view.

Americans either say the USA was always a police state or is the most free country in the world. No one says the US used to have freedom, but lost it.

Americans insist that the US always had seatbelt checkpoints and food stamps.

Racists scream that the US never had negroes before today.

Nazis and Commies scream no one died during WWII.

Nazis say that the Jews started the Revolutionary War to divide up white people, but even if the UK and the US were united now the USA and the UK would still be Socialist shitholes with fags and illegal immigrants.

As the US declines, Americans will need to chose what roles they will play.

Will you be one of the enemy globalists who is destroying the USA?

Will you be a traitor who is trying to become one of the elites by giving campaign donations to politicians so you can get a bailout, subsidy, or grant to start a business?

Will you be a traitor who becomes a puppet for the elites as a politician, reporter, actor, government worker, soldier, or joins the Gestapo?

Will you be a coward who keeps your head down, works, and pays taxes that fund wars, debt, and tyranny?

Will you dropout and become dependent on government welfare?

Will you be a hero and risk being arrested or killed to become a dissident educating others on freedom and how to resist or fight the elites by firing on checkpoints and flying planes into government buildings?

Will you dropout and buy a sailboat or travel the world as a nameless and stateless nomad?

Will you dropout and start a commune or join a monastery?

Those who are able, do what they can.

Those who can't, do what they must.

@dcjogger im pretty sure that what is going on in american right now isnt success.

Those who decide to fight for freedom must realize that they shouldn't do it for money or fame.

Patriotic Americans must love freedom or they will get burned out.

Fighting for freedom is dangerous and will cost money and might lead to getting arrested or killed.

The elites have tremendous resources because they control the money, the government, Wall Street, Hollywood, and the media. The ruling class will obviously stop at nothing to kill off the 99%.

If you decide to fight for liberty, you must do it for selfish reasons and because you sincerely believe in freedom. You deserve gratitude, but don't expect anyone to thank you.

The hour is late and the future looks extremely grim, but patriots must try or they will end up losing everything anyway.

Everyone is born for reason.

Why should only Assange, Snowden, and Manning sacrifice their lives fighting for freedom?

@dcjogger I will remain in my country. I don't care what others do in their spare time, I care whether our country is being destroyed from within

Nazis and Commies scream that there needs to be a civil war because of illegal immigrants, homosexuality, and marijuana, but no one cares that the US is a bankrupt warmongering police state.

While the USA is headed for a collapse, maybe the 99% should unite and fight the elites who are the real enemy instead of each other.

If Americans cannot be on the same page then why doesn't the USA break up into 2 or 3 separate countries or why don't all 50 states secede from Washington, DC?

Why don't Americans try to convince the Gestapo and soldiers that they work for the bankers and that the Gestapo and soldiers are traitors to the 99%? Getting rid of the bankers would be easy if no one protected them.

Do you really want to kill your neighbor or cousin because they support homosexuality?

Are Americans unable to recognize hypocrisy?

Can anyone take the moral high ground now?

Can Commies see the hypocrisy of supporting marijuana while outlawing vaping?

Nazis hate Commies because Commies love free trade and illegal immigrants, but Fascists used to support free trade and illegal immigration.

Why was Obama an evil monster for defending Obamacare and gun bans, but Trump is a holy god for keeping Obamacare and supporting gun control?

WTF?

Would you kill someone because they wore the wrong color? Do you really support what you believe or are you just parroting your team talking points?

Would the USA really be a utopia if all the Jews, Muslims, females, queers, illegal aliens, and blacks were dead?

The first US Civil War was a pretty black and white issue. The South supported slavery and the North didn't.

Civil War 2.0 wouldn't be so clear-cut.

What would you do if you were Spanish during the Spanish Civil War or Chinese during the Chinese Civil War? Would you pick a side or leave?

The advantage of leaving the US now is that you might stay alive temporarily, but the danger of leaving the USA and not fighting is that Libertarians who flee to live in the Amazon, Siberia, or on a sailboat risk finding that tyranny might finally chase them down.
