The Elite Have Prepared For The Coming Collapse – Have You?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,

Why are the global elite buying extremely remote compounds that come with their own private airstrips in the middle of nowhere on the other side of the planet?  And why did they start dumping stocks like crazy earlier this year?  Do they know something that the rest of us don’t?  The things that I am about to share with you are quite alarming.  It appears that the global elite have a really good idea of what is coming, and they have already taken substantial steps to prepare for it.  Sadly, most of the general population is absolutely clueless about the financial collapse that is about to take place, and thus most of them will be completely blindsided by it.

As I discussed the other day, the only way that you make money in the stock market is if you get out in time.  The elite understand this very well, and that is why they have been dumping stocks for months.  This is something that has even been reported in the mainstream news.  For example, this comes from a CNBC article that was published on June 16th

The so-called smart money is pulling back from market risk, with fund managers taking down exposure to stocks, increasing cash holdings and buying protection against a sharp selloff.

About two weeks before that, I discussed the same phenomenon on my website.  The article that I published on May 30th was entitled “Why Is The Smart Money Suddenly Getting Out Of Stocks And Real Estate?

Did the “smart money” know what was about to happen?  Since the peak of the market, the Dow has already lost more than 2200 points.  All of the gains since the end of the 2013 calendar year have already been completely wiped out.

And of course the truth is that you didn’t really need any inside information to see that it was time to get out.  I have been warning my readers for months about what was coming.  The signs have been clear as a bell if you were willing to look at them.  Just consider the following excerpt from a recent piece by Michael Pento

Earlier in the year margin debt had risen over $30 billion or 6.5% to $507 billion and was equal to a record 2.87% of U.S. GDP. This surpasses the previous all-time high of 2.78% set in March 2000 – the top of the last largest stock market bubble in history.

 

And despite the assurance of every mutual fund manager on TV that they have boatloads of cash ready to deploy at these “discounted” levels, in early August cash levels at mutual funds sank to their lowest level in history, 3.2% (see chart below). As a percentage of stock market capitalization, fund cash levels are also nearing the record low set in 2000 when the NASDAQ peaked and subsequently crashed by around 80%.

The financial markets are absolutely primed for a major crash, and when that happens many among the elite will be hightailing it to the middle of nowhere.

Earlier this year, the Mirror published an article all about this entitled “Panicked super rich buying boltholes with private airstrips to escape if poor rise up“.  Here is a brief excerpt…

Robert Johnson, president of the Institute of New Economic Thinking, told people at the World Economic Forum in Davos that many hedge fund managers were already planning their escapes.

He said: “I know hedge fund managers all over the world who are buying airstrips and farms in places like New Zealand because they think they need a getaway.”

Keep in mind that these are not just some rumors that Robert Johnson has heard.  These are people that he knows personally and that he interacts with regularly.

And Robert Johnson was not alone in this assessment.  Here is more from the Mirror

His comments were backed up by Stewart Wallis, executive director of the New Economics Foundation, who when asked about the comments told CNBC Africa: “Getaway cars, the airstrips in New Zealand and all that sort of thing, so basically a way to get off.

 

“If they can get off, onto another planet, some of them would.”

For some reason, the global elite seem to have a particular affinity for New Zealand.  Perhaps it is because of the great natural beauty of the nation combined with the fact that it is in the middle of nowhere.  The following comes from the Daily Mail

New Zealand, which is about the size of the UK, but has a population of just 4.4 million, offers them all the modern luxuries they have come to expect – but miles from any country which may implode into chaos.

 

The country is 11,658 miles away from the UK, while its closest neighbour is Fiji – 1,612 miles away, more than double the distance between Lands End and John O’Groats.

 

Homes at the top end of the market come with tennis courts, swimming pools and media rooms – and some even boast their own personal jetties where a family can moor their boat.

 

But the icing on the cake for those looking to make a quick escape comes in the form of private helipads or, better, your own airstrip.

For most of us, buying a luxury bolthole with a private airstrip in New Zealand is not a possibility.

But we should all be getting prepared.

I have a contact in the food industry that has told me that her company’s sales have “been through the roof” over the past 10 days as people stock up for what is coming.  In fact, she even used the word “panic” to describe what was happening.

And Americans have been buying a record number of guns as well

Newly released August records show that the FBI posted 1.7 million background checks required of gun purchasers at federally licensed dealers, the highest number recorded in any August since gun checks began in 1998. The numbers follow new monthly highs for June (1.5 million) and July (1.6 million), a period which spans a series of deadly gun attacks — from Charleston to Roanoke — and proposals for additional firearm legislation.

For a very long time, I have been warning people to get prepared.

Well, now we are getting so close that panic is starting to set in.

Hopefully you are already well prepared for what is about to happen.  If not, you need to kick your prepping into overdrive.

These next few months are going to change everything.  Get ready while you still can.

My classmate took a job there directly out of grad school with her engineer husband. They bought a place in Wellingtom they thought was overpriced at $296,000 at the time. Now the thing is valued at over $1 million. They have their own RE Bubble of mega proportions since she said there is no way 98% of the people can afford their homes now.

 

Now, NZ is also definitely out of reach for most Americans except maybe for those who have a $4 million McMansion in Cali who sell to some other sucker.

The quoted article is also full of bullshit that anyone could figure out with 2 seconds of research.

Nearest neighbour Fiji 1,1612 miles away?? Gimme a break. Sydney to Auckland is only 1310 Miles away and thats big city to big city (for New Zealand). There are stretches from the Eastern part of Australia to the Western part of NZ that's way closer than that. So have they forgotten Australia exists, or that we don't don't count? No! more than likely it was written up that way because it doesn't sound as cool to say "NZ is right next door to Australia" but instead imply "NZ is closest to Fiji which itself is in the middle of nowhere"

This is the sort of crap that stops me taking a majority of these articles seriously.

The rapture is a gross misconception started by a one dimensional thinker about 300 years ago... It's based on the first letter to the Thessalonians which was so misunderstood that he had to write the second letter explaining it. The rapture theorists all hang their hats on the first letter waiting to be swept away in order to avoid the tribulation... Second letter states that isn't going to happen until after tribulation so rapture point is moot, really.

Most of the bible is misinterpreted. There never was any concept of original sin, until orthodoxy was basically purged. Jesus wasn'tgod, and said so himself. So,he wasn't sent to redeem humankind. And he told his disciples that following wouldn't work. If you look up Marice Bigglio on youtube, he claims there is no god  in the bible. he was a translator for the Vatican.

Have just been reading about the Hon Jonathan Harmsworth - The 4th Viscount Rothermere who inherited the Daily Mail & General Trust plc empire from his Father. Apparently, this empire is controlled (with others) through a web of companies (and sevaral trusts) registered and run in places including Bermuda, Jersey and Geneva.

The Viscount, a Freeman of 'the City of London', resides in the UK but also benefits from an extremely lucrative "non-domiciled " tax status.

I don't suppost that will feature in the Mail.

Those rabbit holes within the Holy Trinity  - The City of London (Finance), Washington DC (Military) and the Vatican (Spiritual)appear very deep and very well conected.

Get right with Jesus? it never seemed like a good idea to take the word of someone who dresses up to assume an air of authority while preaching to the people. thinkingfor yourself seems like a much better option. there is a reason that the indigenous peoplesof north america thought the missionaries were insane. try reading the biblefor yourself and think about it, without the religious superstition. Jesus was notgod. Hesaid so himself. Their is no original sin. Jesus said so. He was not sent to redeem humankind. he was opppsed to church. he also said being a follower would not work. He said to always seek the truth. that is, don't believe some zealot who dresses up like a peacock. get rightwith your fellow human beings.

A shotgun with buck is a better CQB (close quarter battle) weapon able to penetrate several attackers while the cyclic rate and recoil of slug loads will slow you down in CQB while being next to worthless at ranges over 75-100 yards unless you're a really good shot.

IMHO, you want to AVOID CQB at ALL cost. A gunshot wound post SHTF is almost certainly a death sentence, at best a crippling injury to an extremity taking weeks to heal and not back to former self.

You need to meet/deal with/confront potential threats as far as possible from your base with a rifle equipped overwatch. Your ground walkers should have 5.56x45 or 7.62x39 rifles and a decent sidearm and your overwatches should have scoped rifles and sidearms. You can get a decent setup (affordable) in a Ruger American in .308 with a Simmons Whitetail scope for around $500-600 and with practice regularly tag something like a garbage can lid out to 750 yards (a friend recently sent me a video of him making a first shot hit with this setup at 960).

Do not go looking for trouble.

Check out "A Failure of Civility" for an excellent reference on community survival in times of crisis.

Good luck to all and pray the next few years worst is some soup lines and a LOT of orange suited elites!

The Elites have not planned for anything but to escape.  They cannot fix there own cars, clean a rifle, fix a roof etc etc etc.  They depend on the masses not to kill them and take away the toys.  It would not be difficult to hunt them down in their bolt holes and starve them out.

The Elites are not good at hiding, they want to appear to be superior.  To cow people into subserviance.  That will not be effective very soon and a very bad behavior in an emergency.

Working communities taking care of each other on a local basis, good place to hang out.

Check out the town of Blumenau in the state of Santa Catarina in Brazil.

I believe it's the home of the largest Oktoberfest outside of Germany.  Seems like many krauts did okay after '45.

If there's one thing I know about people, it's that everyone has a price.  Preppers included.

Blumenau looks nice. Never been there but will put on list.

I would take a look at Puerto Varas, Chile --- lots of Germans, zero crime and affordable housing. A friend of mine lived there for two years studying something in the lake there and cried when she came back here.

 

Montevideo is very nice with excellent health care, very little crime and affordable apartments. I loved there for 6 months about 8 years ago and loved it.

Agreed.  They live to prey on people - to control - to manipulate - to steal - to lie and "get away with it" - the idea that they will be able to escape to a little quiet spot somewhere - while the world they set on fire burns - is delusionalWithin a short time, they will start feeding on those around them.  An arrogant prick doesn't suddenly become a great family man (or woman) with the flick of a switch.  Poetic justice would be to have a kid or spouse get sick of their shit and blow them away in their hidey holes - or toss them overboard when out at sea.  There is no place in Hell hot enough, that's for sure ....

So it is funny to see how they think they can escape.

I will be bound for the Philippines but my wife is from there.  You can get around most places speaking english.   Bring your own money or start a business as you won't be able to find work.  It is the third world but I like it.  For a big city try Cebu.  I like Davao too.  If you can go native there are many small islands to live on such as Biliran.  If single Mindanao women are some of the sexiest anywhere. 

This article was also posted at prisonplanet.com.  And of course someone had to post how we won't be able to eat our gold.  I didn't bother to tell him he won't be eating the digits on his computer screen or quarterly statement but my precious metals will be buying something.  I don't argue that anymore.

It would be impossible for the Royal Family to rule over the United Kingdom today.

Who do you have in mind? Prince Charles? A full retarded whacknut if ever there was one.

Prince William? A pretty boy idiot with a bean-pole for a wife, only slightly bettered by his half-brother Harry.

 

The Royals would need a collection of political advisors and gophers to do anything. That means nothing would change.

What Britain really needs is to become a Republic with a strong written Constitution.

The UK has a constitution. A constitution guarantees nothing. The US conjobstitution should be enough to convince anyone of this. Fair governent requires fairminded people, which rules out politicians. Anyone seeking political office is the last person that should ever get the job. Patrick Henry called it all out in his anti federalist arguments, and he knew the people who wrote the constitution. the only thing that kept the US from becoming a total police state right out of the gate was the states' insistence on the bill of rights that the writers of the constitution voted against during the Philadelphia convention. A republic is rule of the elite, and this is what it looks like. itis not representative democracy, nor was it intended to be. It was only intended to appear to be representative. you have a single representative in the house. How does that 'reresentative vote on an issue that is divided 50/50? either way, half the populace is disenfranchised. How could that be considered representative?

This is just too panicky for me. And I've seen sheet. True enough there are some nasty parts of the past I would like to forget during the Yugoslavian dinar collapse. But it required war and prolonged sanctions during 3 years. No financial crisis can be this severe as long as there are means of production. What is needed for these preppers to keep their song is a full on war between superpowers.

And with Chinese warships off Alaska for the first time, Russia going military in the ME again and blatantly invading Ukraine. Europe on the rocks. And the US economy in the toilet (yes .1% growth is the toilet). War isn't that big a stretch. Its what the oligarchists will use to complete the enslavement. All they need first is more gun control to lessen the violence when they move to control the plebes/proles.

It is interesting everyone says (including this article) that this event is in the near future. I've been saying to colleagues for quite some time that we are already in "it" and it is so slow motion, so massive, that our collective ability to comprehend a thousand microevents is nil. The media are not going to say we are in "it." The government has been lying and lying and won't say we are in "it." Academia sold their souls long ago and the belly button gazers that pass for lauded economics professors aren't going to say we are in "it."

The complexity is stunning and the events that demonstrate we are in "it" are numerous little tiny things that make your gut go "hmmm, this isn't right" and taken alone, they aren't things that we need pay heed to. But taken as a collective, these things stack up taller than any of the lies and omissions.

Stop looking into the future for "it" because the future is now. We're here, we've been here and in the middle of this weirdness for some time now. The question is how fast will it accelerate, how quickly will it strengthen to a full roar?

Wish I knew how it all played out - but add it all up, and we are already here. Now.

To me, we tipped into 'it' in 1974/75. By 1980, for those with the eyes to see, it was in big fluorescent words brightly flashing on the wall. It's been accelerating since. Each kick of the can since has had a shortened duration, each kick of the can has compounded the final detonation.

In the years since, the extent of the looting, pillaging, plundering, and asset stripping that's been going on, has been breathtaking, with the final victim, being America (the biggest, juiciest cherry on the cake, to rob blind), which was enabled by the useful disposable idiot, W R Clinton.

I tell you this much, payback for what has been done, is going to be a real bitch. If the culprits think they are going to be allowed to get away with their crimes, they are mistaken, and over reliant on ass kissing advisors that tell them what they want to hear. There's no hiding place from what's coming, and if it gets brutal and violent fast enough (highly likely), recovery will be swift, and because the real culprits are known (it's nothing to do with Jews, as usual, it's the Psychopaths and Sociopaths), the issuing of Letters of Marque and Reprisal will be swift.

We now have the procedures and means to filter out the Psychopaths and Sociopaths from Society, and from here on in, we are going to have to use them in every walk of life, to weed these criminally insane scum out, and keep them out.

For the last 5,000+ years, it has always been the Psychopaths and Sociopaths that have been the real problem. Everything else has just been a useful scapegoat for them. Stop-being-suckered-by-them!
