In this final chapter of Useful Idiots and the Something for Nothing society, we show the final elements leading to the societal and economic collapse that we are currently caught in. The system I have outlined here and in previous chapters is INSANE when viewed through the lens of history. Unfortunately, our leaders and our society have forgotten it and, therefore, we are doomed to repeat it. Nothing will stop it and very little can be done to slow it down. You must embrace it, acknowledge it and turn it into your opportunity rather than your demise. We are at the tail end of an insanity seen throughout history, which began now almost 100 years ago. We are at the end game in the near future. If you haven’t read the previous chapters PLEASE DO SO as it will connect the dots for you. In Part I of this series we covered the transformation of the monetary system from sound reserve backed constitutionally mandated currency system to what now has become completely unsound Fiat currency and credit system. Money has changed from a system for storing wealth, purchasing power and ones labor for the future to a confiscation scheme run for the benefit of Banksters and socialist progressive government. Do not miss this as UNSOUND money and Reserveless banking is the master thread and foundation of all the chaos unfolding in the world today. In Part II of this series we thoroughly covered how the ACCOUNTABLE, LOCALLY controlled education systems have been high-jacked and transformed into FEDERALLY CONTROLLED, UNACCOUNTABLE, public school MONOPOLIES designed to create sheeple and Useful Idiots ripe for exploitation. The Locally controlled school systems that created the most prosperous country in the history of man are now nothing more than PROGRESSIVE SOCIALIST indoctrination centers designed to mentally cripple the futures of our children. It is now an insidious system to create morally and fiscally insolvent citizens, bereft of histories lessons, contemptuous of what created our exceptional country and its burgeoning middle classes, unable to produce more than they consume. They do not know how to live prudent and productive lives and DO NOT have the BASIC knowledge needed to build a prosperous and independent life. In Part III of this series we covered the impoverishment of the masses and how they have been turned from free men into debt and tax slaves through the scheme known as Fiat currency and credit creation and creeping centralized government. We learned how the value of their wages has been reduced and debased by the very people in whom they have placed their trust: the government and banking/financial systems. In reality, the powers that be have created a land of serfs in the developed world. Only serfs had it better as they only gave 25% of their incomes to their masters and dealt in coin based sound money. In history, one man’s taking of the fruits of another man’s labor was called SALVERY. Now, in the land of George Orwell we have become, it is called FAIRNESS. Real money is basically EXTINCT in today’s world, except for gold and silver, killed by the elites who control the world today. All three previous parts of this series are critical foundations to this edition: DON’T MISS THEM. In Part IV of this series we learned how a world of free men has been chained by laws and regulations of progressive socialist governments enshrining themselves and their campaign supporters above the private sector and public at large. They have destroyed freedom of choice, capitalism, dynamism, productivity entrepreneurism in an attempt to prevent the future from arriving as we evolve, while cementing their victimization of society in place. Regulations, which facilitate stealth confiscation of private assets, wealth and income through regulations, have been designed to line the pockets of their cronies, protect them from you, regulate demand to themselves, and destroy start up business formation. Regulations, which have never been reformed or had real cost benefit analysis done, are eating the private sector alive. Economic Capitalism has been repealed in the developed world, and political corruption and fascist socialism have been put in its place unbeknownst to the vast majority of the public and the useful idiots in particular. This is all destroying the ability of the developed world’s economies to produce REAL wealth. They now only produce debt and disguise it as growth and send the bill to you and your children. On to today’s missive: Below is the face of the welfare state and their SOMETHING for NOTHING CONSTITUENTS consuming the capital needed to INVEST in the future and EATING the future incomes of our children, making them DEBT slaves to government! I call it eating the seed corn that must be PLANTED for an economic harvest for the next generation, aka our CHILDREN! Investment in the future (plants, equipment and infrastructure) has basically disappeared. It has been borrowed and transferred to the entitlement states and the elites which control them. This is an image from www.USdebtclock.org, check it out regularly and make sure you have a stiff drink when you Look and think about it.

Let’s see, would you vote for a DC politician if you knew that they have incurred $350,000 dollars of debt for every man woman and child in the US or $1,049,000 for every taxpayer in the US. Do you think that somebody who put you into this position is irresponsible or CRIMINAL? It’s called debt slavery and those chains bind you in the future to pay for today’s Something for Nothing society. In the developed world, virtually no debt has been retired or repaid for over 5 decades, it is only rolled over and new debt issued for spending. The economic model of developed world governments who have no plans for repayment; they are predicated on an endless PONZI scheme, powered by central and commercial banks creating money out of thin air and stealing the value of yours while it sits in the bank. In REALITY, the debt of our children is MUCH worse. The something for nothing politicians and their socialist government’s REPORT their finances to the public in a cash-in / cash-out basis, while you, I and any business must use the GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) method, which includes future liabilities that are already incurred, are due and payable in the future. The federal government does this calculation (GAAP deficit) and it is breathtaking in comparison to what is presented to the public (CASH based deficit):
 The Light green bars are the widely published deficits (they themselves are outrageous deficits), and the dark green bars are what they are spending today and the promises to pay in the future. Notice the complete breakdown of fiscal discipline since the bottom of the 2000 recession? These are the numbers gathered off the US treasuries website. The Something for nothing society has grown to unbelievable size and is mushrooming even LARGER. Compounding higher at almost 40% of GDP annually, by using the rule of 72 the obligations of the US, GAAP adjusted US debt as a percentage of gdp is DOUBLING about every 1.7 years. INSANE BEHAVIOR from our leaders in Government. This behavior enshrines them as public enemies, not servants. Why this goes unreported is just another testament to the MORAL bankruptcy of the main stream media. In the last two years alone, Washington DC has run up future obligations approximately $14 trillion dollars (or $14 million million) greater than ALL the GDP of the United States in the last year. This is what I refer to as MORAL and FISCAL BANKRUPTCY. Buying votes with promises which will NEVER BE DELIVERED. That is today’s leaders and their useful idiots eating and destroying our futures. What does it look like on an accumulated deficit versus GDP you ask? Send the women and children OUT OF THE ROOM:
 90+ trillion dollars (90 million million)! Some people, such as Larry Kolitkof of Harvard, have it at twice those levels. How will these FUTURE obligations of our Something for Nothing Society be PAID? What are the consequences for this behavior? I think you know. Many of the PROMISES will be BROKEN and the rest will be paid with what else? Money printed out of THIN AIR. This is such a frightening picture of what lays directly in the future, to believe there will not be BAD consequences for this behavior is to believe in the TOOTH FAIRY!
 That is 1/3 the total population of the United States. This is as of 2011, it is now 2014. Add those people to the rolls of beneficiaries and the numbers are approaching ½ of the population, and the baby boomers are retiring in droves and their social security and Medicare trust funds have been STOLEN, Spent and Eaten by the Something for Nothing society and their REPRESENTATIVES in Washington DC. THE MONEY IS GONE! How many Something for Nothing businesses feed at the government trough providing overpriced and poor quality goods and services? No one knows, and I have looked for this information. Add to this list Federal government unionized workers.
 This is the primary reason government will never BE CUT until it is bankrupt (it already is) as too many people are on the FEED BAGS. They will vote for politicians who SUPPORT THEM, literally. You can add over 20,000,000 to this number when Obamacare is fully implemented. This situation has created the Jaws of Death for the world's primary reserve currency aka the dollar:
 Now, add back in the GAAP adjusted numbers from the US treasury that I illustrated and you know why the foundations of the value of the dollar have been irreparably DESTROYED. We are only waiting for people to wake up to the fact that you cannot store wealth in them ever again. And the federal reserve has monetized them to prevent US bankruptcy:
 This will NEVER end; overtly or covertly monetization of debt by the printing press is now an integral part of the game plan for insolvent elites WORLDWIDE to prevent collapse of their Ponzi economies and banking systems.
 Keep in mind that approximately 60% of the monetary reserves of central banks around the world are denominated in DOLLARS; This is why the dollar will be the last to fall. Those trying to store wealth in it and those printing it endlessly will do anything to perpetuate the system of printing gold out of thin air. Remember the dollar was substituted for gold as international reserves at Bretton Woods I in 1945. The Something for nothing progressive socialist society has a battle hymn which has found its way onto the internet: Tax his land, Tax his bed, Tax the table, At which he's fed. Tax his land, Tax his bed, Tax the table, At which he's fed. Tax his tractor, Tax his mule, Teach him taxes Are the rule. Tax his work, Tax his pay, He works for peanuts anyway! Tax his cow, Tax his goat, Tax his pants, Tax his coat. Tax his ties, Tax his shirt, Tax his work, Tax his dirt. Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink, Tax him if he tries to think. Tax his cigars, Tax his beers, If he cries Tax his tears. Tax his car, Tax his gas, Find other ways to tax his ass. Tax all he has then let him know that you won't be done till he has no dough. When he screams and hollers then tax him some more, Tax him till He's good and sore. Then tax his coffin, Tax his grave, Tax the sod in Which he's laid.. Put these words upon his tomb, 'Taxes drove me to my doom...' When he's gone, Do not relax, it’s time to apply the inheritance tax. I chuckled when I first read that, then thought about it and cried. That is a description of slavery, serfdom, organized crime and the totalitarian society we have become. PERSONAL income taxes where not a part of Amerika until 1913. They have grown from barely anything to mostly everything created by the private sector. The government does not create wealth it consumes it. The greater the size of government the smaller you can expect to keep of your hard work and labors. The something for nothing society powered by the useful idiots have legislated and borrowed all of the future wealth of America just as all developed world countries have. Those off balance sheet obligations I illustrated are mirrored throughout the world. In fact everything I have written in this series is a developed world situation.
Author’s Note: In my opinion the greatest manmade disaster and OPPORTUNITY in history is unfolding in every corner of the world. Are you diversified or operating with EYES WIDE SHUT? Are you prepared to turn it into opportunity by properly diversifying your portfolio? Adding absolute return investments which are designed with the potential to thrive (up and down markets) regardless of what unfolds economically or politically? This is what I do for investors; help them diversify into investments which are created to potentially thrive in the storm. For a personal consultation with me CLICK HERE!
There is NO WHERE to run from The Useful idiots and Something for Nothing societies. They are morally and fiscally bankrupt and running out of FOOD to loot to FEED their insatiable APPETITES. The OECD, World Bank, United Nations, and developed world have all RUN OUT of other people’s money. It is why these groups are working so hard to track down anyone who attempts to escape from them. “The trouble with socialism is sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.”
- Margaret Thatcher
The socialist progressives in the G7 are chasing capital from one country to the next. As capital flees and seeks shelter from confiscation, the ability to produce wealth, economic growth and deploy investment domestically crumbles. The socialist progressives chased our manufacturing industries out of the developed world and now they are doing it to multinational corporations. Just yesterday, the secretary of the US treasury Jack Lew, “TAX collector for the welfare state”, painted a target on the back of the corporate sector during an appearance on CNBC: "What we need as a nation is a new sense of economic Patriotism,”
- Jack Lew
These comments come on the rush offshore by multi-nationals fleeing the TAXMAN. Most people do not understand, but people like congress and the president view ALL INCOME as theirs. From “you didn’t build that”, or “spread the wealth around” said to Joe the plumber in 2008, to tax breaks costing the government money which has the tense exactly backwards. It was never theirs, but they speak of it as so. When tax breaks are spoken of, it is not you keeping your MORE of YOUR OWN MONEY. Instead, it is referred to as costing them money because, in their minds, all money is theirs to be doled out as they see fit. Washington DC and the European commission have chased business and manufacturing out of their countries for decades. Their policies have given future capital and investment the BOOT. Money printing won’t revive their economies. Only lower taxes and cutting the GOVERNMENT corruption known as regulations will do so. "Factories that used to employ thousands now employ 200. For the US to grow above trend, it has to be about REFORMING government policy not central bank policies."
- Larry Fink
Now that their policies have hollowed out our economies, they want to chase them as they flee. Corporate taxes are the highest in the world by wide margins and taxes collections in the US are too:
 Notice how the US (red line at the bottom and highest in the WORLD) at 39% has BY FAR the HIGHEST corporate tax rates in the WORLD? It is simply why businesses are FLEEING the developed world as it no longer pays or is profitable to locate and operate there. It is why jobs now reside in the emerging world. The Something for Nothing Society and Useful Idiots who SUPPORT them are eating their own futures.
 This is a picture of leviathan government and the Something for Nothing welfare states taking the Capital out of capitalism. They are eating the seed corn for the next generations economic harvest, thus there will be NONE. These are two pictures of the something for nothing society EATING the private sector, destroying the incentives to produce and invest and destroying/killing the golden goose that was the US and developed world ECONOMIES. It is a picture you can see throughout the developed world in one way or another.

Government receipts are at all-time highs by a wide margin, but the GAAP adjusted deficits seen previously show how government spending is EXPLODING like the NUCLEAR MUSHROOM to the future it REPRESENTS. It is government malfeasance on plain display; do not expect it to stop until Mother Nature steps in. All taxes COLLECTIONS are up 600% since 1981. The economy certainly hasn’t grown that much but the debts have. This is why the wealth production of the US has fled the country. Most people do not understand that CORPORATIONS do not PAY taxes; the costs are all passed through to its customers in higher prices (lost competitiveness) and to its employees in lower wages. Think about that and know why the developed world has to pass laws to keep them domestic and to stop them from confiscating what little wealth they still keep. “[A] wise and frugal government ... shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."
- Thomas Jefferson
“Capitalism has created the highest standard of living ever known on earth. The evidence is incontrovertible…. Yet those who are loudest in proclaiming their desire to eliminate poverty are loudest in denouncing capitalism. Man’s wellbeing is not their goal.”
- Ayn Rand
I have never in my lifetime seen the central government of the United States, the President and democrats in congress so openly HOSTILE to businesses big and small as I do now. Democratic congressmen say they DON’T trust the Private sector. Unbelievable! That is the only place an economic recovery can come from! Constantly attacking them and calling for them to surrender their success for redistribution to others or be labeled "UNPATRIOTIC". “There is one and only one social responsibility of business: to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game; which is to say, engages in open and free competition without deception or fraud.”
- Milton Friedman
The something for nothing constituents who elected them to loot others for redistribution called government BENEFITS which they have been taught are theirs by birth and law. What was called slavery when I grew up is called FAIRNESS today. Definition of slavery: Taking the fruits of another’s labor by force. This is fueling the ongoing collapse of the economy. As INCOMES and REAL wealth creation COLLAPSE in something-for-nothing societies they become like locusts eating everything right down to its roots: - Borrow money until they can borrow NO MORE! - Print the money until it is accepted no more. - Attack, tax, harness and regulate the wealth-creating sectors of their economies until they surrender…this is cannibalism of the WORST kind. - BYPASS the processes of law & RULE through GANGSTER POLITICS and intimidation à la GM, AIG, BP and Chrysler! - Rescue POLITICALLY-connected banksters, crony capitalists and elites at any cost to the public at large - Eat the seed corn of the future, borrow against the incomes of tomorrow and enslave their children to banksters so they can consume something for nothing today…
The political classes in the developed world can be described in a quote by Cicero: “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
- Marcus Tullius Cicero
It does not matter whether it is called a conservative or a liberal, all are aligned into a system of looting the public which they support and build upon. This quote by Cicero so perfectly captures the essence of modern politicians today - socialist wolves feeding hope to the masses while their policies do just the opposite. “Popular opinion ascribes all these evils to the capitalistic system. As a remedy for the undesirable effects of interventionism they ask for still more interventionism. They blame capitalism for the effects of the actions of governments which pursue an anti-capitalistic policy.”
- Ludwig Von Mises
“If governments do not give them up and return to the unhampered market economy, if they stubbornly persist in the attempt to compensate by further interventions for the shortcomings of earlier interventions, they will find eventually that they have adopted socialism.”
- Ludwig Von Mises
Policies which destroy the future and enshrines themselves above the people they claim to serve. The term Public serpents come to mind. "When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.”
- Frederic Bastiat
Unsound money and the income tax have funded the growth of this system of leviathan government (something for nothing societies) and countries run for the benefit of banksters. That is the master thread, both prohibited by the constitution and the founding fathers of the United States. Politicians at every level of society run on platforms of taking from one group (the makers) and GIVING it to another (the takers), dividing society in dangerous ways. The PROGRESSIVE SOCIALIST politicians of today are nothing less than organized crime families like the Gotti’s and Gambino’s fighting TURF wars known as elections to see who gets the front row fleecing, taxing, regulating and suppressing the private sector. No one proposes REFORM or REPEAL of decades of archaic laws and regulations, only ADDS to them. The Something for Nothing progressive society NEVER returns freedom, it only TAKES MORE! People who support reducing government BENEFITS, supporting the constitution (so much of the something for nothing society and the making of useful idiots is neither authorized nor constitutional), reforming the education system, repealing the out of control regulations and reducing taxes are now called terrorists. And, to useful idiots and the Something for Nothing society, THEY ARE! If you see a politician, community organizer, or anyone using this rhetoric you’re looking at a Useful Idiot and a member of the Something for Nothing society. Cutting their BENEFITS and reducing regulatory power over others is a gun at their heads. They could get thrown OFF THE DOLE and be forced to PAY FOR THEMSELVES. As we all must do in reality! At this point, the developed world is SOCIALIST in everything but NAME. It is a process which has been underway for a CENTURY. Quoting Norman Thomas in 1944 shortly after the death of the Presidents IDOL Franklin Delano Roosevelt:
 Of course we have reached this point today. The Republicans have adopted socialism as well. Socialism is the consumption of wealth not the production of it. This is why it always fails. It is a form of economic CANNIBALISM, something for nothing societies eat the makers and producers of wealth until the ultimate ECONOMIC and SOCIETAL collapse. When the economies fail and tax receipts are not enough, they borrow and print the money. The cannibalism to this point is KILLING the ability to produce wealth and is why REAL economic and societal recovery is IMPOSSIBLE. It is the definition of a Something for Nothing society and the USEFUL idiots who support it. “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”
- John Adams
The recipe for something for nothing societies and their useful idiots: Debt, taxes, unsound money, Poor Potemkin educations which is nothing less than brain washing and intentional dumbing down of their citizens, wealth confiscation in one form or another, debasement of money (money printing and leverage with no REAL reserves), runaway regulations as barriers to a brighter future for the common man and emerging competitors, and CREEPING repeal of private property rights. Rinse and repeat. That is the system in place today. This IS NOT a RECIPE for GROWTH; it is the recipe of authoritarian governments trying to prevent their waterloo as their economies and living standards COLLAPSE under their policies. And transferring what’s left to THEMSELVES (crony capitalists and elites) and their USEFUL idiot supporters. They will FAIL! In conclusion, this is how empires have fallen over and over again throughout history and can be termed Morally and Fiscally BANKRUPT. Very few understand the levels of insolvency at every level of today's society, public, municipal, state and federal. INSOVENCY is knit into the economic and financial systems, inconceivable to most people. It is EVERYWHERE! The societal, government and economic systems which the developed world has become are incapable of generating wealth and real economic growth. That requires capitalism, innovation, personal freedom, semi-sound money and free markets, which are MOSTLY absent in today’s world. Do you think any of the MEGA trends you have just learned of in this series are going in REVERSE? That somehow the people that created this mess and increasingly control our lives will suddenly wake up and change the direction of their actions? We now live in a socialist “Something for Nothing” society and welfare state. Europe is in the same boat. The solutions to our economic and societal problems are inconceivable to the public or its leaders today as they were never taught histories lessons. The idea that we need more government, and that it is a solution to our problems and we need more BENEFITS, is a fiction. A return to the policies which created the wealth of the developed world is the only solution: capitalism, really free markets, freedom to innovate, sound money, a return to private property rights. Chance of this? NIL. Once taken, rights are never returned. Government power misused and abused is the cause of the problems. Government, crony capitalists, bureaucracies and welfare recipients are living beings - they want to grow. As they do, they eat others to grow. It is their FOOD. The looters control the guns of government and will continue to use them so growth in benefits/entitlements and government is guaranteed. They have now grown to a point that they have almost killed the host private sector. . Soon it will die and the penalty for failing to produce for those that produce NOTHING will be confiscation of wealth and private property... and that still won’t pay for the impossible promises. The Useful Idiots who stand behind progressive politicians and roar their approval are PIRANHAS, looking to eat others and vote for public servants who promise them a full buffet table of the fruits of others who produce more than they consume. It is a growing constituency. Every taxpayer now owes over $1,049,000 dollars of their future income to pay back the debt; future promises to pay are multiples of that number by at least SEVEN. Me, you and the unwashed masses have been enslaved and chained to debt and the future promises by the socialist welfare states. Most people are unaware of their unfolding indentured servitude to the state as it goes UNREPORTED by the MAIN STREAM MEDIA. Before this episode, Washington DC will attempt to confiscate all the wealth in America. The European Union will try and do the same. All to deliver on the impossible promises they have made and passed into law. Private property is a fiction quickly being punctured by government actions. Without private property rights the incentive to produce DISAPPEARS and a growing economy goes with it. That moment arrived years ago when Bretton Woods II transferred the wealth in our money to the governments overnight. Now we are nearing the endgame of the confiscation which began then. Financial repression is just the latest policy to fund the INSOLVENT something for nothing governments and banking systems which made the bad loans. Saving money will never pay anything again (money for nothing for governments and the elites and usury if you are poor) until the economic collapse and monetary reset is implemented. Prudence, hard work and thrift will be increasing punished and imprudence rewarded as it is today. This is the world we now live in. Wake up, embrace it and thrive, it is an opportunity of a lifetime. When the president talks about helping the middle class, he is talking about the Useful Idiots and Something for Nothings among us who are like locusts. They nod and smile as he affirms the lies and misinformation they have been taught and believe. He and all government officials now are the ENEMY WITHIN as Cicero put it. They will eat everything in front of them right down to the roots and then next year's seed corn. They have actually reached this point today for anyone who can do the math. “A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul."
- George Bernard Shaw
Useful idiots and something for nothing societies have no ability to understand the issues and history’s lessons nor the ability to think. They have never been taught what money is or how it must function: ON PURPOSE. They have no ability to pick apart words and compare them to the actions. Or know history and have no desire to know it for that matter. They were not taught to be curious, just trust those that say they will protect them from the boogey man. They can only be led. They live in quiet desperation and fear (false evidence appearing real) on the edge of poverty as they have very little real education on which to stand or create success for themselves. It’s why the Democratic Party only uses TALKING points with simple meanings and glib promises. Useful idiots are being led by those who are preying on them. This insanity is unstoppable. It is like a snowball rolling downhill and, as their policies gain momentum, the destruction will explode. The only thing that will stop this is Mother Nature, God and Darwin. Historically, they have done so in EVERY previous episode of insanity of this nature. This is also known as the collapse of empires. This time will be no different. We are in the midst of this and the crisis caused by the policies of the powers that be will always be with us until the insanity falls on the rocks of reality. Most people are blind to this, especially those who have been conditioned to believe these impossible ideas, promises of living at the expense of others. To them, the lies are the truth. To the Useful idiots, the something for nothing society that has been built and the promises they learned in school from the second bill of rights and the president’s supporters it is the "American way", when in reality it is contrary to the nation’s history and laws. Advanced economies have set aside the values of hard work, self-reliance, prudent behavior, saving, financial knowledge, highly educated workforces and constant reinvention and renewal through capitalism and celebrate and revel in expensive, ill-budgeted welfare states and the system I have just outlined. One that created the greatest and most widely spread prosperity in the history of man and transformed it into just the opposite: forever declining wealth and income creation, lives of desperation where the future is always worse than the past and the wealth pie is continually shrinking. Something for nothing societies are the consumption of wealth rather than the production of wealth. It is why the middle classes are going the way of the DODO bird: EXTINCT. Capitalism created the middles classes, and socialism in disguise is eating them alive. Socialism is misery spread widely as economies collapse under its policies. The near future is bleak regardless of the illusions of booming stock and bond markets created by money printing, and monetary debasement. ALL ECONOMIES are afloat on an unimaginable and inconceivable (to the human mind) sea of leverage as is every corner of the world economy today. The leverage will fail as it must because there is no REAL income growth to repay it. So the powers that be will print it. For example: if subprime borrowers (little ability to repay) were not allowed to buy an auto, sales would COLLAPSE by about 30%. Of course, the banking systems PRINTED THE BORROWED MONEY OUT OF THIN AIR to lend to them and receives years of their FUTURE labor to PAY IT BACK. Did you know the word meaning debt and the word meaning sin are the same in the Old Testament? Debt is sin and slavery if used for consumption. If used for self-paying/liquidating investment it is virtuous. The ability to repay was everything when banking was sound, now they just lower credit standards so more useful idiots qualify for the loans which create consumption which is called growth. A currency and financial system extinction event as outlined by Ludwig Von Mises is underway. What would USEFUL IDIOTS and Something for Nothing societies do if they couldn’t borrow the money to CONSUME what they cannot afford? They would and will collapse at some point. The leverage will FAIL, as incomes are a tiny fraction of new borrowing. It’s all Ponzi all the time, a growing tide. It is only a question of when? The road to recovery lies only in repealing the regulations and reducing the taxation which is verboten to socialist society that have run out of other people’s money at this time. Moral and fiscal Insolvency is the definition of the developed world today. No reforms have taken place since 2008, just further RAPE of the public by the Something for Nothing societies and their handmaidens in the political world. The greatest transfer of wealth from those who hold it in paper to those that don’t is underway; use it to create prosperity for you and your families. Call me. Let's discuss. I love you all and may god bless you and your families.
Author’s Note: In my opinion the greatest manmade disaster and OPPORTUNITY in history is unfolding in every corner of the world. Are you diversified or operating with EYES WIDE SHUT?

'Tedbits' has a lot to say, A LOT.
I grabbed three of the charts (very useful in observing the end of an empire).
He went on a little long, though. When he stated 'And in conclusion,...' there were another TEN paragraphs. That's all right, though. He's done his homework.
The 'published' versus 'GAAP' chart of defecits is quite stunning.
If one had to actually print the bills to represent all that fake debt (money?), I wonder if the planet Earth has enough trees to make the paper. 90 TRILLION, uh-huh. Last figure I saw attempted to be compiled was 87 trillion; as far as the 'derivatives', markets, I've seen guesses upwards of over a QUADRILLION.
$90 TRILLION at $1270 an ounce is 70 BILLION 866 MILLION ounces of Au (or 35 MILLION 433 thousand TONS). Of course, at the fixed rate of $35 an ounce, it would be 2 TRILLION 571 BILLION ounces (one BILLION 285 MILLION TONS). I heard that they are building a basement at Fort Knox, as well as some other small additions to the JPMorgan vaults. (Did I do the math right?)
I guess the markets need a little more 'churn' to sustain it. Let's see, six and a half billion people, 3.25 billion holding one dollar notes, loaning them back and forth to the other 3.25 billion, repeating the cycle once every 10 seconds...24 hours a day... would make 28 trillion 'transactions' in a day... divided by two (because at any one time half would have nothing)... and every time, interest is charged... see, it's EASY! (sarc)
HOW much gold exists, again?
Just think if this debt was paid in SILVER!

You would think that a person who can use modern technology to produce such a rant would know of the existance of a spell-checker.

We have reached the point where it serves no purpose for the individual to rant against the system. All should now prepare. This unfolding of events is not new. Any old history book will do as a map for what is coming and for the clever a way to prosper.
Reading "Atlas Shrugged" would also help. It almost appears the Obama administration is using this novel as a script for their actions.
If the prospect of reading such a large book (over a thousand pages) is too daunting then you can watch the serial movie of the same name. The third part coming out soon.
now is the time for living.
refine the rant , first things first.
lasvergapersona,
Presuming one could be "prepared?"
No old history book is worth much anymore ... This article above makes the same mistaken presumption: "This time will be no different." Every other previous human empire that declined and fell was only relatively doing so within the overall rise of human civilization, as an evolutionary trend. The differences this time are that the industrial revolutions provided powers which were many orders magnitude greater than available to any previous generations. Furthermore, the ways that the industrial revolution developed, through social pyramid systems, not only drove social polarization, it also drove destruction of the natural world.
No previously collapsing empire was global, and collapsed AFTER it had strip-mined the whole planet of natural resources, in ways which high-graded itself to hell. HENCE, THIS TIME MUST BE DIFFERENT! My assertions are that, in theory, we should go through intellectual scientific revolutions that apply to politics. There are no other ways to cope with the rest of science generating technologies that are trillions of times more powerful and capable. That would require a radically different politics, which took advantage of adapting to the radically different environmental conditions, which are being produced by human activities.
Although I agree that "it serves no purpose for an individual to rant against the system," human beings are by nature political animals, with chronic political problems, that have been amplified to more astronomical sizes by progress in science and technology. While the established systems are driving themselves through their own mad self-destruction, opportunities MIGHT open up for a new kind of politics, which was more consistent with the scientific methods. Of course, I recognize that during those times of social storms and psychotic breakdowns, there may be way too much madness for any good solutions to emerge. But nevertheless, my view is that the science that made the problems must be revolutionized to enable better solutions.
As all the problems automatically get worse, faster, more and more people are going to be forced to start thinking about that. Which ways that thinking goes remains to be seen. Going backwards will NOT provide better resolutions. Only going forward, through a series of intellectual scientific revolutions that applied to politics MIGHT provide something worthwhile to cope with a technologically based society collapsing due to it being controlled by too much enforced frauds, for too long ???

Is the above too abstract? Okay, then. Question: If you want to eat, how can you achieve that? Answer: Steal food or produce food. PERIOD. And there you have it. Be a predator, or be a producer.
If you are a producer, you have one fundamental choice. Do you sanction, support, promote and fund predators? Or do you refuse? If you refuse, you need to think outside the box to learn how to hide your production, and evade the gaze and assaults of the predators. But you will enjoy a much better life, all things considered.
honestann, again, your same old-fashioned false fundamental dichotomy between producers/prey versus predators/parasites. THE SAME ENERGY FLOWS THROUGH BOTH! It is NOT possible to develop any scientific classifications that support such false fundamental dichotomies. There are ancient ecologies, such as the organelles inside of our cells, which demonstrate how the dynamic equilibria can look after billions of years of balancing. Look seriously as biology and one will see a language of gradual degrees of different relationships which blend into each other. Similarly, the human ecology, in which different cultural groups act like different species in a natural ecology, have every possible range of relatively differences.
The production of destruction controls production, and it must necessarily do so, as demonstrated by every natural ecology which had time to evolve in the past. The producers need limits, which tended to be provided by their predators or their parasites. Stable climax communities developed balances where the total of all predator/parasites almost equaled the total of producer/prey.
I regard oversimplifications, such as:
"Be a predator, or be a producer."
as being ridiculously stupid dead-ends.
More and more, I tend to regard honestann's posts as being not much more than those of a religious fanatic. He has claimed to be scientific, and to have a background in engineering. However, his understanding of biology appears to be pathetic, and therefore, when he blends his biological metaphors into political economy, those continue to appear pathetic oversimplifications.

Embedded is a good little video of William Catton,
author of
Overshoot:
The Ecological Basis of Revolutionary Change
published back in 1980. & see this 2008 interview:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oF6F0bgvARc
Interview with William R. Catton, Jr.
In the interview he outlines themes of his book:
stealing from the future, exuberant growth,
takeover and drawdown, industrialization,
carrying capacity deficit,
the absence of real villains,
the bane of advertising,
humankind's true nature,
ecological modesty,
and the need for us to expect the worst.
He addresses re-localized economies,
and outlines his current book project:
"Humanity's Impending Impasse."
He ends on a note of optimism, encouraging us to enjoy life despite the catastrophe he fears is coming. However, at about the 31:35 mark, Catton makes the correct points about the ways that specialization of labour has become like the human systems have people who act like species. However, he does not carry that through with enough of the rigorous and radical examination of those "species." If one looks at real death controls, backing debt controls, then it becomes clearer how social pyramid systems are systems of organized crime, conducted by 'specialized' people who back up lies with violence, that are what control society to behave in criminally insane ways. Of course, those who thus ended up being controlled are equally components of the whole human ecology system. I.e., the human predators & prey are components of ONE SYSTEM. Those who dominate the political economy by frauds, which are enforced by governments, co-evolved with those who adapted to live within the enforced frauds.
As always, there are at least 2 deeper levels here:
First, there are the deceitful death controls, and
second there is the necessity for death controls.
The same analysis applies to money actually being
measurement backed by murder, as money existed
because measurement and murder actually existed.
The genuinely "better" resolutions require that there be some people who can operate some better death control. Current problems stem from those who "specialized" in warfare, and then finance, were most "successful" by being most deceitful and fraudulent, and hence, that "success" expanded to control the opposition. The current problems are death controls done through the maximum possible deceits, opposed by those who who promote the various impossible ideals about that.
(& I regard honestann, as being that too.)
Not all specializations were equal, although certainly human civilization was largely about specializations, that made society become similar to some ecologies, in which there were different species in their niches. In those metaphorical ways, the study of biological evolutions applied to understand human cultural evolutions.
Given life, then the death controls direct ways that the life evolves, and that may relatively equilibrate? Human civilizations became hyper-complicated because of ways that natural selection became internalized as intelligence which was applied through warfare and finance in the maximized deceits and frauds as being most "successful." The degree to which that was triumphant resulted in their controlled "opposition" being neutralized. Instead of political debates about better death control, we have the death controls done via maximum deceits, "opposed" by those who assert there should not be any.
(I.e., honestann, saying "stop" the predators.)
Therefore,
we face that double whammy set of dilemmas!
The most necessary thing is better death controls, BUT the degree to which the best death controls were done via deceits, which also wrapped in their "opposition," makes genuinely better resolutions of our problems become practically impossible, inside of current politics! Theoretically, we NEED better artificial selection, which necessarily has better death controls as the core to that. However, in practice, existing ways of operating the artificial selections are done via the maximum possible deceits and frauds, that are shared by both the establishment and also their controlled "opposition" groups as well!
In my view, the arguments repeated by honestann continue to those of a reactionary revolutionary, reacting against the runaway insanities of the top carnivores, or human predators, of the men who prey on men. (That is perhaps even more appropriate because those "top carnivores" INSIDE the human ecology have become too successful, for too long, at domesticating their prey/producers, who have become such Zombie Sheeple that they have made it be too easy for the predators to fleece and slaughter them, so that those predators have more and more degenerated into being parasites.)
HOWEVER, NONE OF THAT KIND OF ANALYSIS IS WORTHWHILE UNLESS IT COULD LEAD TO SOME ACTUALLY BETTER HOLISTIC SYSTEM OF HUMAN ECOLOGY, WHICH WAS INTEGRATED WITH INDUSTRIAL ECOLOGY, AND NATURAL ECOLOGY. However, any better overall holistic human ecology is NOT possible with the gross-oversimplified stuff, such presented by the honestann approach to the chronic political problems inherent in the nature of life, which must be perpetually resolved somehow.

So... what? So they are the same? So we should ignore all the other differences? That seems to be your thesis... some of the time. Yet, when I claim honest, ethical, productive, benevolent human beings should be aggressively violent in their self-defense, but otherwise non-violent, you just wave your hands and pretend my points are invalid.
Of course a human being needs to examine the nature and context of the terms human "predator" and human "producer" to comprehend subtleties involved, otherwise they would have a difficult time applying the wisdom and sense conveyed by these fundamental distinctions. Yet they are the most fundamental distinctions for humans living on earth with other humans.
Yes, human predators and human prey (producers) are part of one system on earth at this point in history (and at previous points in history all the way back to the discovery and implementation of production, which lead to the human population explosion on earth due to the enormous increase in goods and goodies human require to survive, prosper and enjoy life). And indeed other animal predators and animal prey are and were part of one ecological system on earth too.
However, you seem to want to claim that this must continue forever. THAT is where you are wrong. And not a whole lot of sophisticated intelligence is required to understand this point either.
Human predators are dependents... dependents upon human producers. If human producers STOP producing, or they STOP allowing human predators to steal the goods and goodies they produce, virtually all human predators will perish. Why? Because the naturally occurring processes of nature in the earth environment generate only enough food for about 0.1% of the current human population. Even the 0.1% of predators who might survive would have to live the crude, uncomfortable life of cavemen.
Human producers are independent... they do not in any way whatsoever depend upon the human predators who prey upon them, and in fact would have a vastly more successful, comfortable, enjoyable life without human predators constantly preying upon them.
This is obvious.
If you produce what you need to live, you are independent.
If you do not produce what you need to live, you are dependent... upon those who do produce.
And so, what is the new paradigm? Escape the predators. Go where predators cannot mess with your life. The only other alternative is to eliminate the human predators, or stop feeding them (shrug). Unfortunately, the only practical place to escape human predators is outer space, where the nature of the environment makes the cost of finding and assaulting producers so extremely high that human predators could not possibly extract as much goods (including energy) as those human predators consume in that effort.

A month or two ago, we sorta agreed to stop replying to each others posts, because doing so is pointless. I'll post what I post, and some people will gain more from my approach. You'll post what you post, and some people will gain more from your approach. In my opinion, all we do by posting in each others treads is waste our time. I thought you agreed. If I accidentally posted in one of your threads and accidentally broke our truce, I apologize. Otherwise, I think we and those who read our posts are better served by not attempting the impossible. I will never influence you, and you will never influence me. That's clear.
By the way, I am a she, not a he. Minor detail.
Repeatedly you make comments admitting you have no practical way to convince others to adopt any set of ideas that would solve the human problem (see your third from bottom paragraph for just one of many examples). We pretty much agree about that. Humans have allowed themselves to be utterly controlled by the predators via brainwashed parents (age 0 to 20), by teachers and the "educational system" (age 5 to 25), by mainstream media (age 2 to 99), and by all other humans who have been likewise brainwashed and brain-damaged by the same sources. Neither RadicalMarijuana nor honestann know a way to turn the tide on planet earth, and help large numbers of humans defend themselves from the intellectual destruction that thwarts potentially positive behaviors and actions.
And so, only two potential solutions exist. For human producers to get the hell outta dodge (the earth environment), or wait for the predators to completely destroy the current system so utterly and thoroughly that... hopefully, somehow, almost magically, the zombie sheeple who survive manage to gain control of their brains, and create a better world. I advocate the former solution as more practical (and definitely more secure and permanent), while RH advocates the later "solution" (seems to me). Take your pick. Or if neither appeals to you (any individual out there), try to find a way to avoid and evade human predators to the extent you can, and be prepared to defend yourself against them where practical.
This certainly appears to be correct:
"The only thing that will stop this is Mother Nature, God and Darwin. Historically, they have done so in EVERY previous episode of insanity of this nature. This is also known as the collapse of empires. This time will be no different. We are in the midst of this and the crisis caused by the policies of the powers that be will always be with us until the insanity falls on the rocks of reality. Most people are blind to this, especially those who have been conditioned to believe these impossible ideas, promises of living at the expense of others."
However, this part 5 shares the same basic problem as the previous 4 parts, as well as is way too typically the case generally, that the excellent analysis then collapses back to bullshit "solutions" based on the same old-fashioned false fundamental dichotomies and related impossible ideals.
There is no dichotomy between
"capitalism versus socialism."
The ONLY things which exist are different systems of organized lies operating robberies, in dynamic equilibria with each other. Of course, the "useful idiots" were adapted to the enforced frauds of the "something for nothing society," led by the international bankers.
Obviously, private banks being legally allowed to make the public "money" supply out of nothing as debts, while the government enforces those frauds, was the core of the "something for nothing society." For generation after generation, the various kinds of "useful idiots" have adapted to living inside of a political economy where the government was the biggest form of organized crime, controlled by the best organized gangs of criminals, the biggest gangsters, the banksters. HOWEVER, this kind of article continues to be grossly superficial regarding its notions of "solutions," even too with respect to the most probably correct ideas regarding "The only thing that will stop this is Mother Nature, God and Darwin."
It would take profound paradigm shifts through intellectual scientific revolutions to be able to better integrate our understanding of natural selection with artificial selection, based on understanding human civilizations as manifestations of general energy systems. HOWEVER, to be able to do that requires understanding the degree to which we are living in a Bizarro Mirror World, where everything is presented as backwards. We "understand" energy systems BACKWARDS, because we were taught to regard the concept of entropy backwards. This kind of series of articles above presents relatively good analysis of the problems, but that never goes deep enough to enable more realistic solutions to be proposed, since its "solutions" collapse back to the old-fashioned false fundamental dichotomies and related impossible ideals.
All human realities are organized lies operating robberies, which is how and why governments ended up being the biggest form of organized crime controlled by the best organized gangs of criminals. It is impossible to "stop" that, because it is NOT possible to stop the flow of energy. Idealized "capitalism" can NOT exclude fraud and murder. Idealized "free markets" cannot avoid the paradoxes of attempting to enforce any "rule of law."
Ironically, I still regard the author of this kind of article as still being another level of "useful idiot." Of course, the "something for nothing society" is based on deliberately ignoring the basic laws of nature as much as possible, for as long as possible, in order to sustain the government enforced frauds of private banks making the public "money" supply out of nothing. HOWEVER, this kind of article continues to remain far away from deeper understanding of human energy systems, as special cases of general energy systems.
The basics are that private property is based on backing up claims with coercion. Money is measurement backed by murder. The debt controls are backed by the death controls. The monetary system operates inside of the military system. The history of warfare developed on the basis that success was based on deceits, while that became the foundation for political economy based on enforced frauds. HOWEVER, after going through that analysis, the only valid solutions should continue to be consistent with that analysis, namely, that the death controlling murder systems must be the central features. That is implicit in the assertions that: "The only thing that will stop this is Mother Nature, God and Darwin." HOWEVER, expressing the "solutions" that way is misleading, because it presumes there is some fundamental dichotomy between natural selection and artificial selection, when there is NOT!
EVERYONE HAS SOME POWER TO ROB, AND POWER TO KILL TO BACK THAT UP. GOVERNMENTS WERE THE ASSEMBLING AND CHANNELING OF THOSE POWERS. THOSE WERE WERE THE BEST AT DOING THAT CONTROLLED THE GOVERNMENTS. Better government is necessarily better organized crime. There is nothing wrong with the abstract theory of a democratic republic operating through the rule of law. The real problem is the degree to which the vast majority of citizens have been reduced to being Zombie Sheeple, where "useful idiots" promoting more of the "something for nothing society."
Capitalism should be understood as the entropic pumping of energy, which necessarily includes the possibilities for murder and fraud within that context. Indeed, those are actually the controlling components to the real systems. The only actually possible real resolutions would require better dynamic equilibria between the systems of lies operating robberies, as the foundation of the established systems, against which are the controlled opposition groups, that continue to operate within the same frame of reference as those established systems, which is still what this kind of article above basically does.
It takes a series of profound intellectual revolutions in order to reconcile energy systems operating natural selection with the ways that those manifest through human energy systems as forms of artificial selection. That becomes more and more imperative as the current runaway systems of debt slavery are generating numbers which have become debt insanities, which are going to provoke death insanities: "The only thing that will stop this is Mother Nature, God and Darwin."
We should understand the ways the biggest bullies' bullshit social stories deformed the development of the philosophy of science, the same as that happened to every other social enterprise. While it should be obvious that the "something for nothing society" was based on attitudes of evil deliberate ignorance towards the basic laws of nature, and many people became "useful idiots," that adapted to take advantage of, and promote, the enforced frauds that appears to sustain that "something for nothing society," ANY BETTER RESOLUTIONS OF THOSE PROBLEMS REQUIRES BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN ENERGY SYSTEMS, which is NOT what one gets from continuing to promote the false fundamental dichotomy between "capitalism versus socialism."
Intellectual scientific revolutions are needed in the basic ways that we understand energy systems, so that those can then be better applied to politics, and especially to the combined money/murder systems. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO RECONCILE HUMAN SYSTEMS WITH NATURAL SYSTEMS.
I have no doubt that that paragraph I quoted above was basically correct: "The only thing that will stop this is Mother Nature, God and Darwin." However, to the degree that this article continues to present that as manifesting a false fundamental dichotomy, then this article ends up being a dog barking up the wrong tree ... Of course, it is extremely difficult for ALL of us, (including, of course, me) to operate within the established systems, without relative degrees of compromise with their bullshit world view. But nevertheless, I still maintain that human beings should develop better artificial selection systems, which enable operating the death controls to back up the debt controls by means which become based on creative synthesis between post-modernizing science with ancient mysticism.
The most important concept is SUBTRACTION, from which follows the ROBBERY. Basically, the biggest bullies have been able to present everything which is actually negative to appear as being positive. Those errors were developed in the basic energy system theories, as the concept of entropy had its meaning reversed (as an arbitrary minus sign was inserted into the entropy equations), which then reversed the meaning of everything that was otherwise being understood through thermodynamics and information theory.
No "solutions" which do not include that level of scientific revolution are possibly going to become adequate. In practical terms, that means that not only does good analysis reveal that governments are the biggest form of organized crime, controlled by the best organized gangs of criminals, but also, that must necessarily be the case. Therefore, any better operations of a democratic republic through the rule of law would require enough citizens that understood that well enough.
Sometimes "Old-fashioned" solutions work just fine, just as they have worked for millenia.
Most of the "New ideas" that have arisen in the last hundred years haven't worked out very well, have they?
Science and technology cannot now be erased without the almost total destruction of civilization.
A bit rambling but it got the point across.
In my opinion... The New Class progressives have hijacked both parties, making the US a defacto one party state. they have been indoctrinated in our colleges and universities to be uniformly progressive, (small m Marxists). The New Class are the elite in culture, society and politics. Harry Turman and Ronald Reagan were not of the New Class and were detested by the New Class. It was obvious in every news article and op ed of the time.
The root of the problem is in academia where the New Class is indoctrinated. Read Alvin Goulrner's Rise of the New Class for a better explination of the New Class.
I used to idolize Ronnie too. After all, I hit the adult world right after he took office. Saw the country go from no jobs available - even at McDs - too what I thought was a better future, and was for me and many others.
BUT, now I realize the truth. He was an actor that played us. He spoke a good game, but accomplished little. Well, little outside doubling down on the failing War on Drugs, AND further stripping our property, privacy and justice protections the Constitution and Bill of Rights guaranteed us. (Note, they did not "give" us these rights, they gave the government strict controls of how far they could go attempting to take them away).
Warrantless searches, Ronnie. Confiscation of personal property for bogus - at best - "crimes", again Ronnie. Checkpoints and convictions based on the fact you "may" commit a crime - not for actually committing a crime mind you, again, Ronnie. I could go on.
He also did NOTHING to stem the tide of the big banks and ever growing government. In fact, he doubled down on that too.
There has been a theory that Hinckley was nothing but a pawn, a pawn exactly like so many others this government has used. Well, not exactly the government, more likely the true powers that be that we can't positively identify, even as we see their fingers and theft and destruction everywhere.
Anyway, sorry, I know not much of Truman, and its always been rumored that the banksters had it out for JFK and Robert K too.
It is a dangerous thing to idolize these men that we have been told fairytales and stories about. Turns out the winners write history, and the PTB own the media, including the publishing houses and entertainment enclaves.
Which brings us to the reason this great university, the internet, is going to be radically and fundamentally changed, probably destroyed. It'll be for the children, or to fight terror, of that we can be sure.
Truth is treason in an era of lies. That much I'm sure we can agree on.
*oops, dupe!
Good stuff. Could not agree more.
Tedbits has an incredible grasp of what passes for the current wisdom. On his vacations Tedbits digs up the moldering corpse of Ayn Rand, rips her rotting bodice and passionately mounts her while cursing the lowly underpaid grave digger who he later forces to reburry her on unpaid overtime.
And on your vacations, you dig up the moldering corpose of Karl Marx, rip off his shit stained jockey shorts and passionately mount his ass while cursing the capitalist idea of a graveyard that made you dig, a coffin that you had to pry open and the quality clothing you're chewing your way thru to get at 'ol Karl's sweet butthole??
