The US & Europe Will Collapse Regardless Of Economic "Contagion"
Submitted by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.com,
In order to understand what is really going on around the globe in terms of the collapsing economy, we must set aside false mainstream versions of reality. When it comes to the EU and its current fiscal turmoil, it is very important to, in some respects, ignore Greece entirely. That’s right; forget about all the supposed drama surrounding Greek debt obligations. Will they find a way to pay creditors? Will they default? Will they make a deal with Russia and the BRICS? Will there be last-minute concessions to save the system? It doesn’t matter. It’s all a soap opera, an elaborate Kabuki theater run by international financiers and globalists.
It is most important to remember the fundamentals. Greece will default on its debts. Period. There is no way around it. Maybe Greece makes a deal today, maybe it makes a deal tomorrow; but eventually, the country’s ability to stretch out its resources in order to meet its exponential liabilities will end. It is inevitable, and no last-minute “deal” is going to change the math at the core of it all.
Why are so many economists so worried about a little country like Greece? It's all due to a great lie: a dishonest narrative being perpetuated by the establishment that if Greece falls, defaults or leaves the EU, this could trigger a domino effect of other nations hitting a debt wall and following suit. The lie embedded in this narrative is the claim that Greece will cause a “contagion” through the act of default. Let's be clear - there is no contagion. Multiple countries within the EU have developed their own debt problems in spite of Greece over the past couple of decades, not because of Greece. Each of these countries, from Italy, to Spain, to Portugal, etc. has its OWN sovereign debt disasters to deal with caused by its own fiscal irresponsibility. The only legitimate reason for a so-called contagion is the fact that these countries have been forced into socialist interdependency through the EU structure.
Never forget this: The EU is in trouble not because of Greece, but because of forced supranational interdependency. The EU by all rights should not exist, nor should any centralized supranational single currency system.
I would also point out that globalist institutions like the International Monetary Fund are highly motivated to initiate disaster in the EU, despite some people’s assumptions that the EU is some kind of representative model of globalization. It’s not. If this were the case, then the IMF would not be stiffing Greece on debt aid while continuing to help Ukraine despite Ukraine’s similar inability to pay.
Why would the globalists want a partial breakup of the EU? What would they gain from such an event? That’s easy; they gain crisis, chaos and an opportunity to present a false dialectic.
Europe is not at all representative of what globalists really want in terms of economic and political structure, no matter what many people assume. It is a, rather, a kind of facsimile; a half measure. When Europe hits the bottom of the financial abyss and the bewildered public begins asking what the hell happened, the elites will be there with an immediate explanation. They will claim that it was not the EU’s interdependency that was the problem. Instead, they will assert that the EU was actually not centralized ENOUGH. They will claim that in order for a supranational economy and currency to work, we must also have supranational governance. In other words, the system failed because it needs to be stabilized by global government.
The Fabian socialists will argue that it was the barbaric and outdated institution of national sovereignty that caused the full-spectrum crisis. They will completely gloss over the negative effects of an interdependent economic system and the fact that a lack of redundancy leaves cultures simpering and impotent. We’re all one big human village after all, so we should accept the idea that we all succeed or fail together. Free markets and individual innovation apparently have nothing to do with a thriving economic structure. What we really need is a hive mind amalgamation that turns us all into easily replaceable parts in a massive rumbling lawnmower that chews up our heritage, history and principles for the sake of some arbitrary greater good and the promise of alchemical floating cities in the sky where no one has to work anymore.
The fall of the EU is a means to an end for globalists. There is almost no nation or institution they will not sacrifice if that sacrifice can be exploited to further their goal of total global political and economic dominance. They don’t just want a completely centralized system; they want all of us to BEG them to put that system in place. They want the masses to think it was all our idea. This is the most pervasive and effective form of slavery, when the slaves are manipulated into demanding their own enslavement. When the slaves are fooled into believing their enslavement is something to be proud of — a badge of honor in service of the collective, if you will.
The fall of the U.S. will be no different in this regard. We do not necessarily have a supranational structure like the EU. So our narrative for collapse will be slightly different, and the engineered lesson we are meant to learn will be carefully crafted.
You see, Americans are meant to play the role of the spoiled imperialists who are finally getting what we deserve, an economic punch in our tender parts. We are the new Rome, bread and circuses and all. And when the U.S. comes crashing down like Europe, the Fabians will be there yet again to admonish the greed inherent in national sovereignty and the destructive aspirations of power that must be squelched by a more evenhanded global political system. I don’t really know how many people out there realize this, but we are meant to play the bad guys in the global theater being put on by the elites. Americans are the villains, the rest of the world plays the role of innocent victim, and globalist centers like the IMF and the BIS are meant to play the heroes, coming to the rescue of humanity when all appears lost.
Our debt generation by far outmatches that of the whole of EU nations combined, a fact I outlined in Part 3 of my series One Last Look At The Real Economy Before It Implodes. Unlike Greece, though, the U.S. has the direct option to print fiat at will in order to prolong punishment for our massive debt spending. However, as we have seen with recent market reactions to the very notion of an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve in September, such an event will trigger extensive outflows from stock markets and herald the end of the “new normal.” Again, why would the banksters do this? Why not keep interest rates at a constant near zero? It is not as if there is any public pressure to raise rates; in fact, it's quite the opposite. Why is the Fed ignoring the hundreds of signals showing that the U.S. is in a recession and pushing ahead with discussion of interest rate hikes despite what one might logically conclude would be in the Fed's best interest?
The Fed knows that the only things propping up American markets are free money and blind faith by the public that banks and government will act to stop any pain or economic suffering, should such a potential for crisis arise. When the free money is gone and that faith disappears, then we will have an epic catastrophe on our hands. The globalists within the Fed know this, and they want this - at least , they want a controlled version of this. The elites NEED the fall of the current U.S. system exactly because this will make way for the rise of what they often term the “great economic reset.” This reset is the next stage in the plan for total global economic centralization.
This is not about contagion. There is no such thing. It is an excuse, a scapegoat designed to distract from the real problem. This is about a concerted effort over the past several decades by internationalists to maneuver Western cultures into a position of vulnerability. When people are weak and frightened, they become malleable. Social changes you would have never thought possible today become very possible tomorrow in the midst of a crisis. I believe we are now seeing the onset of the next great crisis, and the fundamentals of economy support my view. When the entire European system hangs by the thread of Greek debt and the entire U.S. system hangs by the thread of near zero interest rates and blind market faith, something is about to shatter. There is no going back from such a condition. There is only the path forward, and the path forward is not pleasant or comfortable and it cannot be ignored.
We cannot forget that crisis is in itself a distraction as well. Whatever pain we do feel tomorrow, or the next day, or the next decade, remember who it was that caused it all: the international banks and their globalist political counterparts. No matter what happens, never be willing to accept a centralized system. No matter how reasonable or rational it might sound amid the terror of fiscal uncertainty, never give the beast what it wants. Refuse to conform to the dialectic. This is the only chance we have left to get back to true prosperity. Once we cross the line into the realm of worldwide institutionalized interdependency, we will never know prosperity or freedom again.

Kinda hope it happens in the next two years or not at all. My stores have a shelf life you know and it's a pain to keep rotating them.
I just started 6 weeks ago and I've gotten 2 check for a total of $2,200...this is the best decision I made in a long time! "Thank you for giving me this extraordinary opportunity to make extra money from home. This extra cash has changed my life in so many ways, thank you!" www.earnmore9.com
GREECE IS THE FIRST DOMINO. SOON FOLLOWS THE REST OF THE WORLD GOVERNMENTS INTO AN ORCHESTRATED COLLAPSE AT WHICH THE IMF AND UN SAY, "GIVE US YOUR FREEDOMS."
SAY NO, BUY SILVER
This article is correct, and a first on ZH I think.
We're all being played.
The NWO (e.g. owners of the Fed) is trying to collapse America because they see armed Americans as the last thing between them and their global government. they are setting up America to be the bad guy. That is what people are supposed to think.
They are counting on our normalcy bias. They are counting on us to blame accident, inevitability, greed, America, blacks, whites, Democrats, Republicans, or anyone else ... anyone instead of them.
Red Dawn ... such a great movie.
A Southern Redneck gets it. Do you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cTWi5GefKYc
He's right
Alabama is the best Southern state.
Greece's corpse won't sate the baseless fiat maw for a day.
sorry, but there IS such a thing as contagion. one countries debt liabilities are leveraged(a lot) and held by banks that are already teetering on the edge of insolvency, and when said banks are loaded to the gills on interest rate derivitives, and that country defaults on their debt, it will cause a chain of bankruptcies all over the world. If one country's default causing major bank collapses(until an inevitable bailout) in several countries isnt a contagion i don't know what is
This article boldly states : "This is not about contagion. "
But it seems to miss in it's analysis in pointing out that this is all about CONTRACTION.
Economies function better on the front side of the resource extraction curves that are bell shaped. On the top and back side of those curves, much of the status quo that was predicated on those resource inputs and their time value for those given set of economic circumstances get invalidated in various ways.
And with today's prevalent greedy mindset, sharing is not likely.
It mentions the problem of multiple debt crises, so yes, it does cover contraction. Resource "extraction" is not the problem either. Maybe resource misallocation. There is no shortage of resources right now.
yes
Those that seek to own us must
Keep us at each others throats
Lest we unite around theirs.
You're missing the point.
Mans very nature when he is part of a group will destroy and idea like the EU. It was doomed from the beginning.
They knew that.
The EU isn't an "idea" it was a plan from Jean Monnet and Arthur Salter in 1920s Europe to make the League of Nations the model for the Government of Europe - remember there was no US in the League and no Russia - so the idea of Europe with a Planned Economy bringing in Japan and Colombia and the British Empire looked like a huge power block with self-sufficiency.

The divisive rhetoric is to deflect the blame from politicians and bankers when it gets ugly.
I disagree somewhat though, The U.S. government is pulling the strings and is to blame for much of this. Whether they control the Fed or the Fed controls them matters not. Few in the general public know much about the Fed.
The money stolen from producers is running out. Who has been the major producer here for the last two centuries? White men. The source of their money and production is running out. They are trying to squeeze and blame the golden goose for its demise under the oppression of government. Leftists must deflect blame so the mobs have a target when it gets ugly and they are hungry.
The orchestrated ciaos in North Africa has sent thousands to flee to Europe. This humanity is being played out as a human weakness. It has a cost and is weakening the next battle front. Just like Bush pulling all the big weapons out of Iraq and if they do not comply he will hit them hard. They did comply and were hit anyway.
Beware the non-conformist.
Well, this is encouraging. At least there is a plan. All along I assumed this global shitshow was the result of serial incompetence and hubris.
to Future Jim ::
Let's be clear about why there is an European Economic Union. It has been the uniting action by international financiers who have obligated participating nations to grant sovereignty over their currency.
The result is the Euro which requires authorization from participating nations to issue bonds for credit expansion. This is an upscale and expansion of what the Federal Reserve has established in the U.S.
The FRBNY receives Treasury securities (bills, bonds, or notes) for which it credits a government account in that amount; i.e., it creates book entry (fiat) money which will be spent by congress.
The security received by the FRBNY will be sold at auction. If the funds went to the government, there would be no increase in money in circulation (inflation). Neither would there be any increase in the National Debt. Where does the money go?
The FRBNY has exclusive control of disbursements of auction funds (deficit spending securities is about $1 trillion annually, roll-over securities about $7 trillion). Ref. 31 CFR 375.3. These accounts have never been audited.
The only viable destination is to the Primary Dealers (secret owners of the FR Board of Governors ? ) who also handle the funds for roll-over redemptions.
The Wall Street financiers embezzle the $1 trillion annually as profit. Ref. https://www.scribd.com/doc/153024003/Amended-Complaint-Federal-Reserve-w....
Profit from the Federal Reserve scam has been used to fund the New World Order project. Ref. http://farmwars.info/?p=12078 New World Order, Dead Ahead.
5 will get you 8 that the Euro delivers the same hidden profit to the relevant financiers of the Euro and ECB.
You left out the part where the Fed puts the Treasuries on its balance sheet out loans the dealers free money to buy them, this increasing the money supply.
This article is shit! As with most others he completely skips over the fact that we have had exponential growth of everything, espically debt, on a FINITE PLANET.
The debt problem that virtually every country is having is no problem at all if we could keep growing and producing at an ever increasing rate but the instant there is even a hint of constraint BANG!!! its over.
No. Greece is not the first.
This is the same MO that the IMF and WB (both controlled by Wall Street) have used for decades on the third world. John Perkins writing in Confessions of an Economic Hit Man reveals the CIA has been used to force national debts originated by Wall Street.
If the Minister of Finance or ruler would not impose crushing debt for a few million, the “jackals” would be called in to kill him. Haiti is but one result. Greece and the rest of Europe is but an upgrade of the Wall Street operation.
If the nation cannot not be corrupted, the U.S. military will destroy the country. Ask Qaddafi. Ref. http://farmwars.info/?p=12078 New World Order, Dead Ahead.
Internal memos from WS reveal collection of the fraudulent $18 trillion national debt of the U.S. is the “ultimate goal.” Are you ready for austerity?
Wall Street is currently embezzling $3 billion DAILY that legally belongs to the U.S. government. They use the FRBNY's exclusive control of disbursement of funds from auctions of Treasury securities. Ref. https://www.scribd.com/doc/153024003/Amended-Complaint-Federal-Reserve-w....
Now we know how Goldman Sachs can pay million dollar bonuses.
If it was really as great as you claim, you wouldn't be advertising it. More people doing it means lower average wages. But then, you don't know that, cu you're a bot. And somehow I wound up talking to you. Next I'll ask the phonebook how it's day went.
KILL THE TROLL!
The relentless apocalyptic predictions on Zero Hedge are really getting old. The stock market is always about to collapse. Russia is always about to start a war. Greece (or Spain or Italy) is always about to default.
Zero Hedge is as boring and predictable as a fundamentalist Christian end times site.
Remember when Argentina defaulted? When Russia attacked Georgia? When 4 reactors melted down in one day in Japan? And the world went on....
Dude the stock market is about to collapse. America is the one up in everyone's business and starting wars. And Greece is about to default!
Are you fucking nuts?!
Argentina defaulted decades ago, times are much crazier finaincially. There has been massive deregulation at the corporate level and trillions of dollars created on spreadsheets out of thin air.
If Russia and the US get into it in Ukraine it's WWIII. Ukraine is a major player, unlike Georgia.
And the Pacific ocean is toast! It's fucking toast!
And we will get 50 feet in snow in California next year so everything back to normal. Yea, I hope so, but as of right now, that's a long ways away. Nothings ever "normal", there is no normal.
… c’mon, guys! Be optimists !!
As long as we haven’t been killed,
everything’s FINE !!!
Fine???
Awesome. Everything is AWESOME, man.
The world economy is running on fumes.
Keynesian glue fumes.
But...but...but...They are AWESOME fumes.
setting aside the fiat keynsian planned wheels coming off the wagon crumble, what about 7.3 billion people scrapping by and inevitably getting hungry and thirsty with a natural sytem of systems that can't support that number? the elephant right in the gym, while the game goes on. sure, day to day the system in place crumbles yet seems manageable. but soon the majority in poverty will come up short a daily existence. we are there biologically. so imo, economically it is a race to the reset. the point of huge pain like when a pothole dries up and the beasts show up and eat each other. they dovetail each other. econ and biology. one man made the other uninteruptable on a long enough time line. folks we are near the end of an era, the great fossil fuel explotation of the sphere called earth. the oceans are being trashed like a dumpster full of mans short term made in china garbage. the marshes are mostly drained, natures vast water filtration system removed for moar food production. the earth is becoming monsantoized with monocrop chemicals that are short term in nature and will signal the end when we exhaust the input ingredients. the earth will produce less and less with greater inputs of N, P, and K . the topsoil is blowing in the wind and erroding before our eyes. farmers only look to a growing season to the make the most money possible. food and water will be our ondoing if the economical collapse doesn't create the last great war first. a race to destruction, expoential in nature...
… but gays can marry

You paint a dark picture, unfortunately realistic. Even my adult kids don't believe me when I start talking about it.There are good things happening in the world they say, don't always look on the dark side, you are so negative. And so we are led to the slaughter like cattle in the Chicago stockyards.
...rainbow fumes!

The US Government repudiated those. Where have you been?
can't we just have the SCOTUS redefine these laws as well as they have done to the Constitution?
So, you clearly must have all of your net-worth poured into some of those 3x ultra-short ETFs right? I mean with the imminent financial collapse of the USA and all.

"When 4 reactors melted down in one day in Japan? And the world went on...."
Treating Fukushima like "an event" is a major misunderstanding of what's going on. Fukushima continues to kill, as we speak. If you really think the world isn't changing, you are blind. It is a process, not an event. Yes, the world goes on. Avalanches are not instantaneous either. There is a time lapse from beginning to end. That doesn't make them less destructive. Don't let the gradual nature of this collapse fool you. The stock market is collapsing (where would prices be without major propping up from both governmental and corporate "fudging?). Greece, Spain and Italy are bankrupt. The image of calm is just that, an image. Do you really think it represents reality?
bravo 1000+
Fukushima is still happening and part 2 will hit us in 2016: a stream of deadly Cesium will wash upon the West Coast, become aresolized in the crashing waves and get blown far inland. Get ONE particle in your lungs and that is it.
You are describing gamma as if it was alpha. You don't need to inhale gamma, it enters through the chest anyway, and it doesn't make it "game over" the way inhaling an alpha particle would. IOW, surfing and swimming will be the worst of it. The carrier you are looking for will be the food chain - much more so than the wind.
/not your down voter
Well thankfully Hillary Clinton deemed Japanese food safe for importation right after Fukushima blew, so we have that going for us!

Then why in fuck are you here? And why in fuck do you read ZH? Fucking troll!
You can only read the bible so many times before you need the fresh take on Armageddon that ZH provides.
I don't know about him, but I started coming here a few years ago for the financial news stories and commentary I wasn't finding elsewhere. Now, the place is more for doomsayers and USA haters. Don't believe me? Go to the bottom of the page and click on the "last" page arrow, and go back to 2009 when ZH started, and read the articles and work your way back. Look at the content then vs now. The place is a mere shadow of its former self. Why am I still coming? I'm hopeful this is only a phase ZH is going through. Time will tell.

it's coming at us a million miles an hour in a glacial progression. while the events too numerous to catalog keep piling up, they form an intractable path to something we can't fully see right now. it doesn't matter to those directing this passion play how long it will take or how many must perish and/or suffer in the process. consider how long this has been in play already. they keep using the worse in human nature to achieve success. collapses, riots, wars, all predictable, keep us firmly on track.
people like Brandon Smith and the rest of us who see the truth of the situation--whatever is left of us in that grim future--will be the final take-down. they will not let Winston go his own way or live in some alt reality.

With you on the rotation, and there's only so many bottles of water you can drink.
Every Friday I assault my bank (usually with 1/2 million to deposit, $15k in cash), every so often I ask
What are all the SEC vehicles are doing in the parking lot...thye're everywhere, and teh FBI guy that stopped me outside was pretty pissy, any of your know what's going on?
They all know my name, they appreciate the deposits, I'm a 'special' client (no fees for anything, and VIP treatment for any request)...'As the Southern Black Guy says, I'm impotent!)
Every time you go to your bank, make it plain that they are noting more that a den of vipers and you would personally be happy to shoot them all in the head. But be polite about it. The girls behind the counter have no idea what they're part of. You shoot the ass-kisser in the side office that comes out to shake your hand and fawn all over you. (Nice guy, but I've got a .45 ready for his ass.) If your personal bank person is a VP or higher, they're fair game.
Remember it, and do not succomb to all the niceties they give you. They will cut your throat at any moment tehy find beneficial to their interests. Make the first move, or your children will have to make the 2,000 move. Don't fuck you kids over.
Why are you not using a credit union?
Exactly, refuse to feed the beast. I left the banking cartel in Canada 40 years ago and have never regretted it.
I don't think the collapse will look like that.
GREECE IS FINE!

I miss CH1..........just kidding..........I really miss francis_sawyer, otto, trav7777, Mako, fonz, bank guy in Brussells and all the others whose voice was silenced by tribe censors.....
lasvegasdave continues to post racist comments............hmmmmm.....
Who the fuck is otto?
His name was Francis Sawyer!
but I thought the others just left in frustration...
Francis is back under another screen name.
at least we have knuckles.
Yeah, he's good.
Nice try. Folks will not see it, they will say detractors are paranoid, and they will move towards it. The gov will crack down on dissenters in the name of national security.
Mother nature will right it one way or another.
Supply lines will fail and people will revolt. Or a few will have enough control over most of the resources (surveilance, military, food distribution, medication/zombiefication being "normal') that revolt will not be possible and die off will result.
Damn this shit is ugly...
The Rotheschildes do like to own a lot of gold.
Good comment, MsCreant. The only hope any of us have is in being too difficult to pacify.
we may die trying, but that will be better than the future. each day has a moar and moar special meaning...
It is now the time to show wheathe we have the balls to tell the bankers to fuck off.
I've been pondering the meaning of this ruling on gay marriage today.
Statistically speaking it seems pretty innocuous...there just aren't that many. "Gay marriages" actually. The "font of normality" remains firmly entrenched near as I can tell.
Yet what is sex itself but a perversion? Sure sounds like "gay marriage" should be ruled upon if we want to have a serious discussion of say "snuff videos" yes?
I mean let's face it...the human race is really a bunch of wackos.
And now all we want is the video feed to fuel our sick proclivities of the mind?
Gay marriage sure seems like the least of our worries in this environment.
It amazes me not what is said in this forum but how people react to what is said...how, indeed we are in fact living under the suspension of our liberties...a State of Fear where love itself is to be denied even though we cannot possibly exist in lack of it.
What a truly sad time we live in!
If the human race really knew what was going on they would cry all the time.
Weep actually...
"..how, indeed we are in fact living under the suspension of our liberties..."
You should read the dissenting opinion by Justice Scalia if you get a chance, that's exactly what he says:
"This practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves."
Honestly I think the ballsier move would be to say that the state recognizing marriages violates the separation of church and state and simply recognize that any two (or more people) can make a contract and wash their hands of the whole mess.
"This practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves."
2nd amendment revision should be coming out shortly. I wonder how they'll time it.
They did it today to quell dissent from opposition to the TPP.
It's not about sexuality, it's about the new world, you and I ain't meant to be in it. The religion these guys follow is androgynous, they believe they are the angels. Never notice how they keep pulsing you with headlines, remember the 'Fallen' or the 'Heroes' and don't forget the 'Fire Men'. These are all terms for angels. What do you think the Jenner freak show is about. Here you have an androgynous hero, an Olympian, don't you get it. They are flipping this place, and most of us won't ever see it, despite them rubbing everyone's noses in it. Meanwhile Angela Jollie is having more of her female parts removed and making masculine movies, we still won't get it.
Hair of a woman, face of a man, and tales that sting you on the five o'clock news every day, watch out for those lions teeth. They're running this show now, stop thinking as if your up against someone normal, you ain't.
And to the nothing ever happening mentality, time is a cycle, and every cycle comes to an abrupt end. Ask the dinosaurs.....
Life is a cabaret.
It is after today.
Fiat games. In the end producers lose every time.
I wonder if people will correct the immigration mistakes and attempts at forcing multiculturalism down our throats.
They don't even want us as slaves.
As soon as robots are developed that can do anything most humans can do and do it without complaint 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, our masters' plan is to exterminate us and give the job of conquering the galaxy to our robot replacements. The robots will make better socialists than we ever could.
Once the usefulness of horses as beats of burden disappeared, so did most of the horses. Don't think the same fate doesn't await us. It's rarely appreciated how much our masters look forward to getting our stink out of their nostrils.
There isn't the oil to lubricate this fantasy. Technology is decades away if not centuries and we won't have the fuel to robotisice the world.
Not sure why you got the downvotes for this. I've often wondered the same when presented with the "robots are taking over!" line. Robots require inputs just like people. Nothing works in a vaccuum. Where is the balance going to be struck between human and mechanical labor? Unknown, but robots are nowhere near self-sustaining or self-maintaining at this point. Resources. Some people can't seem to see that it's always about raw resources.
There are the DREAMERS and the TROLLS. That is the origin of the junks.
They are smokin' on the Hopium pipe.
They are planning to survive a Global Systemic Collapse.
I guess they do not understand the meaning of the word, Global.
There will be npwhere to run and no escape afforded.
the optimist would say we are only a day away from a fuel that is sustainable, whilst ignoring the physics of zero sum and offseting realities. not to mention the waste, but a snake oil salesman will knock whilst tic toc, the never ending time line that is uninteruptable-natural systems unrefutable. dust in the wind, that is all we are. enjoy the day, fellow dustites...
You don't need massive numbers of robots. If you are planning to reduce mankinds numbers, then you likewise reduce the infrastructure needed to sustain what's left of humanity.
Fewer people = more room for cattle, crops, solar/wind power
Fewer people = less strain on current/future resources
Fewer people = less overhead (housing, loans, all industries that fed the beast)
Once robots can take over for humans, there will be plenty of oil. Hell, we've been able to grow diesel from algae for a decade now, and all that requires is space, sunlight, and CO2.
It's simple. So simple, a caveman could do it...which is what we'll all be, when it's all over.
You think they'll nuke the whole earth? Because that will be a cold day in hell. Literrally. So if that is where the Bush clan wish to live so be it.
Otherwise poor people can live in horrible cercumstances. A billion people live in India in squalor, China in horrible situations. People won't die, they'll just be poor.
Technology evolves geometrically.
LIke I warned you, the applicable analogy/metaphor when it comes to the Neo-feudal Globalist Oligarchs, is:
"We are Zi'Borg. Arguments are irrelevant. Resistance is futile. Prepare to be assimilated."
Plan, Mitigate and Network accordingly.
"They don't even want us as slave..."
I offer this quote from Independence Day:
President Whitmore: What is it you want us to do?
Captured Alien: Die…die
Who will maintain and control the machines with their AI for the elites? Those folks lack the hands on skills to wipe their asses. They will become AI fodder. There is many a slip between the cup and the lip and I for one will be quietly nudging their elbows while they try to sip. I bet they didn't think communism would implode, it did, and its Bolshevic host is putting up resistance against the NWO, wiser for the wear. Recognizing and resisting psychopaths with grand plans is a part of life, the sooner we all get good at it, the sooner we can stop wasting time on them and spend it living.
EU is an Empire not a Commonwealth. Empires always rot from the periphery. It is not dissimilar to the British Empire and Sterling Area; in 1947 the UK had huge liabilities towards India for war materiel; in 1960s UK had problem with Nigeria holding huge Sterling balances and need to devalue Pound.
UK has experience of what EU going through - it sent Sir Otto Ernst Niemeyer from HM Treasury to Oz to force Australia into austerity 1920s to repay loans to UK so UK could repay JP Morgan.
"Outside the Bank he was also on the Council of Foreign Bondholders (1935–65) and director of the Bank for International Settlements 1937–1940"
"
Australia had accrued substantial debt, mainly from Britain's independent banking sector, by the late 1920s – partly as a result of Prime Minister Bruce's "Men, Money, Markets" economic strategy, and partly because of the large war debt established during World War I. After the Wall Street Crash, the United States called in many of its World War I loans, including many from the UK, which, in turn called in its own loans from Australia. Australia had accumulated such massive debt that it was unable to repay even the interest on its loans. To avert total bankruptcy with the onset of the Australia's Great Depression, Australia asked Britain for a deferment of payment on its war debts. To determine whether or not this was a viable financial option, the Bank of England sent Niemeyer to give an assessment of Australia and its financial situation. He came by arrangement with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and agreement by Prime Minister James Scullin."
"The high point of Niemeyer's tour was his address at the Melbourne Conference of Commonwealth and State leaders, where he said that the 'cold facts must be faced' ... 'In short, Australia is off budget equilibrium, off exchange equilibrium, and faced by considerable unfunded and maturing debts both internally and externally, in addition to which she has on her hands an every large program of loan works for which no financial provision has been made'. He warned Australia had two years 'to get its house in order' before a tranche of external debt matured in 1932. He believed Australians were too optimistic about the country's prospects.[4] He was critical of Australia's overconfidence and essentially said that Australia was "living beyond its means" and had become prosperous through "mistakes"; that Australians would have to "accept a lower standard of living";"

UK couldn't have won a war of attrition without the Anzacs.
Read about the Aussie light horse at Beersheba.
The reasons the post war Aussies were angry with the Brits is the UK was charging for
feeding,clothing,housing and equipping the troops,which were then fed into the meat
grinder by idiotic British officers.That's why the home front folks felt they should get a
break on the war debts.During the war several votes for conscription were blocked,
partly through the efforts of ArchBishop Mannix,who was able to swing the Irish vote
(against helping the Brits).
Nothing says infinity copper, infinity coal, infinity energy like Australia either.
Save perhaps the United States of course.
We just don't need these things like we used too...ironic that we must consume it all to survive as an "economic system" needless to say.
Everything comes down to the money...always has, always will. We live under a fiat regime...hence the goal still remains as always to deny payment period.
Not easy when you have Social Securoty though.

Hey Tom,
Long time no see! Always a pleasure. You still in the oil industry? You were at sea for a while I remember...
When old timers come out of the wood work, it means their alarms are going off and shit is getting interesting. It is one of the things I watch ZH for. Even if this website goes to total shit, as some think, the original crew who comes around from the old days makes it worth watching. We will gather here in crisis.
We are bellwethers for each other. Me not so much cause I come and go trolling pretty regular. But TomJoad, that is a sighting. Some of the old timers are here with new names, but I won't out them...
Glad to see you.
Including yourself MsC
Keep Safe
"We will gather here in crisis.
We are bellwethers for each other. "
Aye.
I will come here until there is no here left to come to.
More importantly, maybe most importantly: we will speak to one another of Zero Hedge and Fight Club so that we may know one another when we meet face to face in the streets and in the fields, on the precipices and on the beaches; and we will each know that no signed paper can hold our words -that honor and justice only exist in the acts of valiant souls.

Identifying a problem without offering a solution is a problem in itself.
The difference between a problem and a predicament is that problems may or, may not, have solutions whereas predicaments only have ourcomes.
When you fall from an Eighty Foot cliff there is no problem. You will hit the ground. That is the outcome. Falling from an Eighty Foot cliff is a PREDICAMENT and the outcome is generally fatal.
Identifying a problem and understanding the problem, is the very first step to obtaining any possicle solution, if one actually exists.. Without identifying the problem in the first place there CAN BE NO SOLUTION.
In fact most Math Problems have NO SOLUTION. Do you know that? Or are you one of the innumerate, trolling a Financial Blog, without an adequate understanding of Math? (I will bet that you knew that and are just demonstrating DISHONESTY. So are you IGNORANT? OR ARE YOU DISHONEST? YOUR CHOICE.)
When you choose not to expose the problem then you are choosing to live in a fantasyland. Now you are free to choose to deny the problem because you cannot offer a solution but you damned well will not be able to avoid the real consequences due to your denial.
Good luck with that bullshit. Let me know how it works out for you. Heh Heh.

"Each of these countries, from Italy, to Spain, to Portugal, etc. has its OWN sovereign debt disasters to deal with caused by its own fiscal irresponsibility."
The countries with the most sovereign debt are, in order: US, UK, Germany, France.
Where is Germany on this list?

"fiscal irresponsibility"???
here's another moron. "fiscal" has nothing to do with the current crises. That is the dumb down version for fairy tales believers...
The Euro as a monetary system could not work. It's equilibrium is instable always. It means that as you have a small shock the forces of the system instead of pushing back naturally to the equilibrium or balance... they make it increasingly difficult.
For the records most problem started with the current accounts, not fiscal irresponsibility as it was sold to the masses...
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!
Meh. "They're just inflating that one away too."
Never underestimate human ingenuity however. "We craft solutions to our problems sometimes too." Next Space X launch this Sunday.
We'll see how the landing goes this time.
I still get tickled when I get a payment email from "The Space Ship Company". Makes me feel like a kid with Buck Rogers on.
Since we are going to 'get' another centralized system how is this for learning to live with it:...as long as you do not save in the system you'll be fine. You get paid and pay your bills inside the 'evil' centralized system. With whatever is left over you save in that finest of savings media...gold. A combination of fiat and gold as a store of value could work just fine.
Try to imagine a world without the efficiency of fiat, electronic currency. Sure crypto currencies could work too. What ever you use as a medium of exchange can be compromised.
If your savings are secure will you really care?
"Each of these countries, from Italy, to Spain, to Portugal, etc. has its OWN sovereign debt disasters to deal with caused by its own fiscal irresponsibility. The only legitimate reason for a so-called contagion is the fact that these countries have been forced into socialist interdependency through the EU structure."
Preach it brother!...LMAO!!!
Much in the same way we were "told" we should strive to emulate the "sophistication" of the Euro-peon (no, not a typo) effort for the greater good of all!
Give me a fucking break, pay the check when you're done, leave a tip and leave. If you can't pay for what YOU'VE ALREADY EATEN under false pretenses...you wash dishes and sweep the floors.
Socialist Keynesian banking frauds & swindels, I get so tired of their promises of fucking utopian bullshit.
Just cooked and ate onions and squash from my garden. I'll leave a tip for myself.
It doesn't take much of an evil genius to ply us with their lies. People want the lies, need the lies as the reality is just too damned harsh. Lots of talk of bread and circuses, but rather than leaders perpetrating fraud under cover of entertainment, we want to be distracted. We demand it. Entertainment industry is still one of the largest discretionary expenditures. The disaster that is unfolding is easy to predict and not difficult to implement.
We will readily take whatever they are selling when the crisis takes a hard hold on us. If we can't resist their lies now when things are relatively easy, what spine will exist when the shit really hits the fan?
A good friend of mine was commenting on how he was raising his early teen son to work hard and have a sense of personal responsibility. My contrarian side suggested that he may be doing his son a disservice in that in our near future these types of people will be the anomoly and if we see a superacollective society, they will be as welcome as a turd in a punch bowl. Hard working responsible people will either be the slave or livestock to the collective or deemed an infidel requiring removal.
I don't see this playing out well. Prosperity will have to come as riches in spirit because it will not exist in our wallet again.
As long as the hard working self starters obey socially accepted dicta, and make no public comments contrary to official thought, they will get along nicely, and could even rise in the ranks of Party, enjoying even more privilege.
My son loves to learn and is enthusiastic. He tries to temper his enthusiasm in class because it is uncool to look like you are interested in what is going on in class. Being cynical and disdainful is the attitude flavor of the day.
You are falling for the teacher's bullshit if you are "into" what is going on in class. You are seen as gullible. At least this was his high school experience. He loves college classes, though he tells me some of this attitude is still there. But at least he can find other students like himself and hang out with them and with the professor a little after class. Oldwood has more of a point than he may know.
I teach college and some of the students compete to cheat, they are much more interested in "getting over" than they are in learning. Not all of them mind you, but a significant number of them are like this. They even have a show on tv I have heard about classroom cheating and following college students who do it.
Standing out and working hard does marginalize you in some settings if you are a young person.
My kids didn't have an IQ clique problem in their school. It was so small that the AP students, retards and regular kids all hung out together anyway.
My son earned his rebel cred by correcting the haplessly dumb 'teachers' in front of the class.
I even kept the misspelled letter she sent home complaining about how he "undermined her authority". I suppose she was right. Exposing her abysmal ignorance of the subject matter would tend to do that.
My wife wouldn't let me stop by class for a visit. She had a feeling that it wouldn't improve the situation.
I told him to work harder on his 'earnest, concerned about the facts' look.
Bullshit.
Sums it up nicely, and they want us to believe the answer is one world government and solving global warming. Only fools fall for their socialist lies.
I don't know about "America playing the role of the villan". America will be (and is being) made to look the villan because America must be destroyed in order for global dictatorship to prevail, and Americans must first become subjugated, a path we are well along.
Bimbo Americans will wake up one day and wonder what happened, failing to grasp even then they voted for it every step of the way.
'Bimbo Americans will wake up one day and wonder what happened, failing to grasp even then they voted for it every step of the way.'
I woke up the day of the bank bail out...groggy and confused, The auto bail out was the icy bucket of water down my back. I've been pissed off ever since.
Lets call a spade a spade. Fractional reserve banking wasn't profitable for the west after the gold standard was removed. I'm still amazed that people don't know or want to realize that this current president has spent almost $8 trillion dollars in 7 years.
The deficite was was under $1 trillion before Bush took office. Thls fucking clown in the Oval Outhouse has zero concept of wealth management.
The west used credit to keep the facade of exponential growth alive. Once input costs (labor) and actual growth started to wane they looked East.
Trillions of fiatskis have been pumped into 3rd world Eastern markets. Now we have a complete cultural cluster fuck, and the government has a fall guy for when the house of cards falls. This shit was predictable 30 years ago. I, like most people bitched about it.
People need to form groups and start taking the time to write that letter and push their representatives. Lawyers are a dime a dozen, so I'm sure there's some conservative ones out there.
Witness, I am a Witness. I have done the research.
It became the norm for Presidents to tag on $1 Trillion in Deficit Spending. But G.W.B and Barack blew this away.
$T Debt Added
J. Carter, ,$0.37 T (4 yrs)
R. Reagan, $1.69 T
G. H Bush, $1.4 T (4 yrs)
W. Clinton, $1.627 T
G. W. Bush, $4.357 T
B. Obama, $6.365 T (4 yrs)
B. Obama, $8 T (6 yrs est.)
-
Total-Federal Government Actual Budget 2014 = $3.5 Trillion (B. Obama)
Total-Federal Government Actual Budget 2012 = $3.54 Trillion (B. Obama)
Total-Federal Government Actual Budget 2010 = $3.45 Trillion (B. Obama)
Total-Federal Government Actual Budget 2008 = $2.98 Trillion (G.W. Bush)
Total-Federal Government Actual Budget 2006 = $2.65 Trillion (G.W. Bush)
Total-Federal Government Actual Budget 2004 = $2.29 Trillion (G.W. Bush)
Total-Federal Government Actual Budget 2002 = $2.01 Trillion (B. Clinton)
Total-Federal Government Actual Budget 2000 = $1.79 Trillion (B. Clinton)
Total-Federal Government Actual Budget 1998 = $1.65 Trillion (B. Clinton)
Total-Federal Government Actual Budget 1997 = $1.6 Trillion (B. Clinton)
And yet we hear "Carter was a bad President"
GD Kool-Aid drinkers everywhere, even among Libertarians and some ZHers.
He is a decent man, who was too decent for the puppet job of POTUS, as he was not pro MIC, not pro Banksters, but was pro Israeli-Palestinian peace accord. He was smart, a Christian, not a lawyer (from Yale or Haaarvrd), not a pushover for Lobbyists or AIPAC/Z'PAC, not for exporting jobs to Asia or Mexico, didn't bully EU or NATO countries, wasn't going to let the US be the water boy (Shabbos Goyim) for the Saudis or Israelis. He was pro family, pro marriage (1 man + 1 woman), pro life, pro America (as a country, not as an imperialist power).
And the Iran Hostages was not his doing per se. Previous Administrations screwed the pooch on that one, by using the CIA to mess with Iran (deposed a democracy, to install the Shah as a US puppet). And it was the DOD that screwed up on the rescue attempt, not Carter himself. He took the heat, rather then firing some generals, because he was responsible, decent and loyal to his former comrades (as a former Naval officer).
And yet, even with all the preponderance of evidence, we hear "Carter was bad. Carter was weak. Carter was a pussy". He was NONE of those. He was PRINCIPLED, which is something that asshole hicktards just don't get.
He was undermined by the enemies I listed, so that their Imperialist and Globalist agendas could be furthered by the likes of Ronnie Raygun and the Deep State Grand Puba, GHW Bush, and their sleazy or incompetent successors.
Excellent Captain... Carter is proof that a good person cannot lead a nation of dolts. He took a lot of heat then and still does.
The Intelligence Agencies Coup of the Executive began with the JFK assassination, accelerated with Bush Senior (CIA) and mostly completed by Obama. (CIA) The spooks now control much of internal and international government policy.
The American Gestapo- the result of their 9-11 demolition derby operation- is their shining jewel, the consolidation of law enforcement (National and Local) and Intelligence agencies. The Patriot Act, the TPP along with the other new and secret trade pacts makes them omnipotent. Through the NDAA and the corporate MIC they control the military.
The Federal Reserve funds most of their transparent activities while the drug market supports their 'black ops'.
They, like a malignant cancer, have destroyed America and most of the western world. There is no easy cure. They have come too far and will not go silently into the night.
We all know what a Spade is -
In a woodpile ?
The author is confusing the EU with the Eurozone.
Gonna 'collapse' like a WTC Tower?
The author mentions the EU breaking up. We may well see a similar thing in the US, given the Supreme Court law making. I think we will either see a push to give the say on important issues back to state legislatures - or we will see one or more groups of states 'Go Confederate' and leave the Union in order to set up their own laws and Constitution. The Founding Fathers feared centralized government and control - well we got it.
Thanks to ZH and all the Tylers once again.......This article and its author of course, offer up a superb analysis of the EU and the globalist malefactors evil intentions to enslave hundreds of millions of mostly unsuspecting Europeans. Of course exactly the same evil scheme is being carried out here in America, and is very well advanced, using for cover a plethora of cunning distractions,...almost without end, the current one being the Supreme court decision legalizing "gay" marriage, following closely on the recent mass slaying at a church. It is almost every day now that their media is gushing over an epic tragedy or some ersatz social triumph. Nevertheless I see and feel a day of reckoning approacing rather inexorably, both here and in Europe. All will turn out well.....in the end.
Just don't let those fucking bastards take your guns, if they do all is lost.
I don't buy it. When the fiat currency collapses the elites have no more power. They can't pay the police or the military to protect them. Those worms will be flying to New Zealand and US assassins will find them and kill them.
More "going to New Zealand" bullshit. And even more "US assassins" HOO RAAA gung-ho USA! USA! USA! USA! bullshit. Grab a history book and read up on NZ - start with the Maori wars and the Maori battalions in WWII... all those US ASS-ASS-INs will be doing is giving lots of ass-ins to each other. BTW the Rothschilds sold up and left early this year, they know its not the place to be when the shit goes down. A cuzzy who don't have fanau at your back youse going in da hangi bro.
Because a culture whose apex of achievement was cannibalism and tattoos is so relevant.
There is no debt owed to the banksta-gangstas for their keyboard-strokes - or tax owed to the USSA Regime for its "services".
It's a sleight-of-hand shake-down; a superstructure of scam; a paradigm of plunder, deceit by design -
And it's all dreamt-up by the "usual suspects" - to have you at their mercy, grovelling in the gutter. and praying & paying for that DHS hollow-point in the back of the head to put you outta your misery.
Yep. These globalists are freaks that need to be cuffed and prosecuted or whatever but they certainly are dangerous while they are on the loose.
If I had an area of the globe like the US, with all the resources it has, I would lock it down and not let anyone in or out except under certain conditions. I'd create a nation of people that had honor and pride, a nation of people that wanted to live and make life better by working toward honoring the fact that we are alive to begin with.
What is this madness? Why? Because of some crazy ass sociopaths. I don't get it. Anyhow that's my idea take the country back, lock it down and fuck the rest of the world. maybe they can do better and all the best to them at that.
Don't worry - you'll be getting your lock-down, alright.
But not necessarily in the way you think.
A lot of you will disagree with me but hope may come in the form of a dictator, not democracy or global centralized government.
There is too much polarization out there, too many living off the backs of others, too many people, cities that are too big.
Dictatorship is no fun either, but it gets the job done. There have been examples of 'good' dictators in history, I believe Tito from Yugoslavia was one.
Right now we have decay, it needs a massive change quickly as this cannot continue.
OK, I'll be your dictator. Your life is no longer your own. The lives of your children are not their own. You will remain loyal and obedient to my every dictate, especially ones that are ridiculous, cruel, selfish, or arbitrary. Any public criticism of me will result in your immediate death. If you prosper you will thank me. If you fail it is because you failed me. You should have served me better. I am your faith. I am your religion. Adore me and know happiness.
Not what you were looking for? Ah, well maybe your next dictator will be better.
Sounds like Obummer and Co to me.
I think we all know what you were saying but like the Cat said, "good dictators" are few and far between and unfortunately, they always have little brat children that take over (or try to take over) when they die.
Its not a very enduring system, much like royalty or the patronage system ("I give you tax credits!") we have devolved into now.
No doubt the Benevolent Dictator has been offered up b 4 and billions of dollars have been made in promoting, "Camelot", and a King like Arthur.
Alas, this fiction is about as likely as finding an honest woman. Even in Camelot there was the treacherous Guinivere, and her consort, Lancelot.
Get this guy off the soapbox...does anybody really read articles like this?
My opinion is simply this, When was the last time you heard that a 'Saudi Piloted' aeroplane flew into a Russian or Chinese Tower.
The failed foreign policy of 'communist Russia' is in the past.
The USA has taken up that mantel of failed foreign policy.
Their fucking up 'Big Time' and they got a 'Big Reponce'. In all my years I feared the Russian/Chinese idealogs but I never hated them.
When you discover that your mentor has been lying to you, Contempt is an appropriate response. That is I believe the view held today towards the Goode old USA.
A good article Brandon and a very accurate assessment of the financial machinations, however...
You probably deliberately omitted that they always intended to kill the Dollar (the Euro and Yen will follow or precede), a few alternative news outlets stated it a few years ago, but they also want to evaporate the collateralised debt obligations of various derivations, secured on US and European assets. To do this they need WW3, to literally evaporate those liabilities in the fog of global war and melt down the financial and information centres that record these securities.
China, Russia, Iran and others appear to be sitting on their hands as much as they can, whilst the West keeps on provoking a proper nuclear exchange, as cover for a number of nuclear false flags. It may be that the plan involves the complicity of Russia, China and the other BRICS, to evaporate the Yuan, Yen, Rouble and all other fiat currencies, to usher in that new global currency and thus complete global governance, either under the ruse of a 'reformed IMF' or some other 'China-led' global bank; only time will tell, to show us what actually comes out of this grand plan.
The nuclear war bar has been lowered already in the last two years especially, with tactical nukes detonated in Syria, Ukraine and now Yemen, nuclear war is becoming acceptable and winnable, when in fact they want to cause depopulation and a resulting global serfdom, through mass destruction.
There are numerous financial triggers looming: Greece default, Ukraine default, Middle East oil threatened, Iran nuclear deal, China bubbles and US interest rates, but whenever the financial trigger is pulled, and it will be deliberately pulled, it will be accompanied by a marked increase in military hostilities, maybe false flags or whole nations declaring war. Already the Middle East is errupting, Saudi Arabia is losing territory now and soon the shoot down of bombers will take the war to a whole new level, with the war being taken right into Saudi. If Iran does not get its nuclear deal next week, this could also be a trigger for escalation, and clearly all states in that region could be at war very soon, including Israel, but I'll bet oil production will not be a priority target.
I've been thinking next week will be the trigger for over a year now; next week however, does seem to have a few important things that might or might not happen.
