How will you deal with the global economic collapse?
On every continent, within each country, state and city, conversations like these take place on a daily basis … John asks, "Are you prepared for when the SHTF (shit hits the fan)?" Scott replied: "No, not I think nothing will happen. Life will continue as usual, and your just wasting your time and money! "
I'm sure you've heard or read this dialogue more times a week, either from family, friends, or blogs online. In fact, you can even have minded as John, or maybe even Scott. Regardless of which group to which it belongs, even if they are apathetic, we agreed that nobody seems to have the answer! Who to believe? That's the big question.
In this article, I will try to present examples of past economic events, compare and contrast those with the current crisis, and explore than ever persistent question in the back of everyone's mind, "If I prepare for the future, or live life as usual?"
Many people ask this question daily. In fact, many are so bold as to predict when a collapse can occur, and to prepare accordingly. But have you really thought about what that means global economic collapse?
The most predominant economic collapse that everyone thinks of, when the subject is brought up, is the great collapse of Wall Street during the 1920s and 1930s and the subsequent "Great Depression." However, little did anyone take into account that more damaging collapses took place earlier.
Previous collapses into Western societies are rooted to the bottom at the age of antiquities in the Mediterranean. Many historians regard the collapse of the Roman Empire, the fourth and fifth centuries, as a result of poor leadership. Although it is difficult to reach a conclusive verdict of why the Western Roman Empire fell, just say is that was a long and complex, more difficult to understand the uneven process of decades of agitation (The war with the Goths, Franks and the Alamanni).
If you had a simple answer, the Romans probably would have found it. The institution itself is not to blame but the support he received their commanders in chief, the emperors, were nonexistent.
It is interesting to note that our "Commander in Chief, President Barack Hussein Obama along with the most important institution of our nation – the Congress, have often been inadequate and have failed to support its constituents (from March 15, 2010, Rasmussen reports 71% of Americans believe Congress is doing a good job, while only 26% of Americans strongly approve of the president's decisions Obama).
Our "modern age" is no different when juxtaposed with the nadir of the Roman Empire. The French Revolution of 1789, economic collapse after the War of 1812, the Panic of 1873, etc can be attributed to a common – debt exceeded income. The only factor that was missing in those times, that our Modern society is at the mercy of, is globalization. Thus, if a country is teetering domino effect can and will affect all others, including called "prosperous" nations.
If we look at the overall debt is truly shocking. Spending our way to prosperity first above all will not work, and actually lead to decades of pain. In fact, economists in the world for the year of popularity as Peter Schiff, Gerald Celente, Nouriel Roubini, and others have been warning us of fiscal implosion due to the monetization of federal debt by the subsequent tests as interest on the bonds the Treasury, manipulate COMEX metals markets (recent former Goldman Sachs employees, turned complainant indicated by tangible every ounce of silver, 100 ounces of paper has been published – it simply can not meet demand if "large scale call" was made), and other forms of capital control. Many may question the validity of this argument and the correctness of economists mentioned. However, a simple browsing mainstream Media will show that they are incorrect.
Foreclosures on the rise, insolvent banks, bonds and market third "pumping" through the Fed, and unemployed, are just some aspects that they have correctly predicted. This is especially true with unemployment. A country can not restore prosperity if you are not working to buy products that are produced locally or imported in. accelerated job cuts in March 2010, rising to 61% with employers announce plans to cut 67,611 jobs in March, according to the outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. In short, no material "jobs" America can not leave the ashes and again lead his people to prosperity.
What is even more worrying is that the government has taken control and ownership of the car manufacturers, national health care, and the student loan industry effectively removing the banks and the income cut around $ 68 billion dollars. However, governments assume the control and monitoring has not ended there. No, Treasury recently enacted laws have closed the loop hole in the expatriate money. Recently changed Internal Revenue Code, Chapter 4, Sections 1471-1474, has been successfully implemented Global Capital Execution control of U.S. citizens.
So serious is the current law of exchange arrangements, which some correspondents financial pseudonym such as "John Galt", has stated: "The precursor of the major changes in Western civilization have always been restrictions on capital flows. Without losing the" woo-woo land on you, all I can say is that this is a warning shot that something important will happen that further restricts the freedoms of the citizens of this once great nation. When did my radio show, I realized that this event one, a key moment in history or the marker of any nation was something to be taken seriously mortal. In my opinion, means a monetary or exchange rate adjustment or outright revocation of rights for granted was sure one day 90, maybe if we're lucky, 180 days window. "
As previously mentioned globalization is the monkey wrench "in the economic machine. Historically, when a nation fails or default on its debt, the butterfly effect is tremendous, and defaults to occur in waves.
Let Returning to the question raised at the beginning of this article, "Who should you believe, and where is it?" The answer to this question is "Yes" – Should be concerned, and believe the data presented by major financial institutions and watchdog groups. With this in mind, preparing for the future is not only a rational decision, but sound.
How do you prepare? This question is more difficult than one might think. An untold number of combinations are at stake in a SHTF scenario. Should I invest in gold or silver? What weapons, food, seeds, fiat money, and on and in this scenario happens. A wise decision would have a small segment of each of the aforementioned items. Here is a small but essential list presented that may be useful a survivor of the war in Sarajevo, and although things may not deteriorate to this point, remember that all things are possible:
From a Sarajevo War Survivor:
Experiencing horrible things that can happen in a civil war or economic decline – death of parents and friends, hunger and malnutrition, endless freezing cold, fear, sniper attacks.
1. Storage help, but you never know how long problems, so look
near renewable food sources.
2. Living near a well with a manual pump is like be in Eden.
3. After a time, gold can lose its luster. But there is no luxury in war
absolutely as toilet paper. Its value is greater than the surplus of gold.
4. If I had to go without one utility, lost electricity – is the most easy
give up (unless you're in a pleasant climate, without heat.)
5. Canned foods is impressive, especially if their contents are tasty without
heating. One of the best things that the stock is canned salsa – which has much
The dry unappetizing to find things to eat in the war something edible. You only need
enough heat for "hot" and not for cooking. It is also cheaper, especially if you purchase
bulk. Spam is the shelf life of 50 years.
6. Bring some books – escapist, like romance or mysteries become more
valuable as the war continues. Sure, it's good to have a lot of survival
guides, but you figure that most of their own anyway – trust me, you
have a lot of time on their hands.
7. The feeling that you're a human being can disappear quite fast. I can not say how many
I knew people would have changed in a much-needed food for some
toothpaste, rouge, soap or water colony. There is little point fighting if necessary
lose their humanity. These things are morale builders like nothing else.
8. burning candles and slow matches, matches, matches.
As economic conditions continue to worsen, you can also expect a increased desperation among their peers. Protection in the form of weapons, money, food and supplies, no matter if life continues as normal, is not a bad investment. Food and supplies are getting more expensive every day. So now actually buy a little more in fact can save you money in the future. Furthermore, in the event that a catastrophic storm or even global economic crisis occurs, you have the supplies needed to continue to live in the looting case and mass chaos, as seen in recent years – Katrina.
So, how will you cope with global economic collapse? It is our hope that you expect the best but prepare for the worst!
