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.

Paulson saw the housing collapse coming long before others did and set up funds to short subprime mortgage backed securities

He did it  by buying credit default swaps and shorting indexes that track subprime mortgage backed securities.

As the housing market imploded, his shorts skyrocketed and the price for the insurance provided by the CDSs he owned took off. 

Paulson made a windfall the likes of which have never before been seen in the history of invest

People grateful for their slavish existence and mindful of the reason they survived when so many others didn't. 

Some things never change.  The mega-criminals will most likely control their countries' coastlines, too, thinking realistically. And unless you and a whole lot of buddies with surface-to-air missiles are already assembled at the airports, they will make their "safe getaways."

Don't imagine that it's not going on ... these people have their own escape strategies.  They may look charming when they do "photo ops" on TV.  But if they decide to bail out - they will. And it's not just Americans.  ELITE is a term that describes a broad range of nationalities.

They use the concept of countries as a herd control method.

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

I am sure somebody has already said this or something very similar…

What the fuck! Why is it even remotely a possibility for these people. The crimes they have committed against the whole of (the rest of) humanity have to be recognised and taken seriously! They should be languishing in the detention camps they built to house others. My grandfather languished in Sachsenhausen for no other reason than some cheap Nazi wanted his house! Surely enough is enough! No mercy or pity should be shown them as they show none at all to those they deem 'cattle'. And they aren't 'Jews' before the Jew-hating hordes get going here. Anyone who thinks that is a complete and utter MORON. They hide in the midst of the Jewish people who act as a shield for them.

Because they can?

I dont have an airstrip but I do have a remote cabin with only one way in or out and 5 other cabin owners in the area and all heavily armed.

The remote places are only to stash wealth and to gather before going to a safe haven.   Singapore has a 2 year waiting list.  Canada is also very strict now.  Japan has become easy but one still has to wait at least 3 years and invest in a business.  But the rich ARE leaving for sure. USA is the eye of the storm,  and when the government assistance ends, it will NOT be pretty.

The concept of airfields is a valid one, because roads are going to be blocked or full of pirates. And you can't have billionaires humping 80 pound packs through the woods. New Zealand might be a stretch, however, as there is not much chance you will get AvGas along the way. You will either need to get there early - or have a small jet that can make it all the way.

The super-rich are like the rest of us.  They feel it.  The zeitgeist is heavy with a feeling of pending disaster.  It makes sense that they would fanaticize the what ifs should the lights go out.  Hey if they can make it to New Zealand more power to them..  In that scenario who they were is not nearly as important as what they will become.  If the banks go, their leverage and power base will disappear in an instant.  At that moment everything is localized. 

 

I like so many others depend on the infrastructure to survive.  When the meds run out in nine months I go down with a stroke.  I have done the best I can to position my family in such a way they can ride it out.   If the grid goes down it is a crap shoot for any of us.  I am 65 years old.  I can shoot, fish and farm about as well as any of the rest on this board.  But I have no illusions.  I am not a Navy seal.  I cannot shoot the eye out of a nit at a hundred yards.  I cannot whip a sabre tooth tiger with my bare hands.

 

 

What I can do is help my friends.  Be kind to strangers and hide and watch.

What you will find is that a worldwide collapse won't happen suddenly.  It's a long, slow, drawn out process that will take decades and centuries.   A massive economic hit could come quickly, but society and services won't break down that quickly. 

Look at the fall of Rome.  It took a couple hundred years.  Why did Rome fall?   A combination of factors contributed over time. 

1. Bad emperors
2. Increasing civilization of the people of the empire (which means weaker soldiers)  They essentially became "progressives"
3. Roman disunity, endless infighting
4. Economic decline, they were sending gold overseas to pay for imports, and that gold never returned. There wasn't enough gold to mint coins.   They also debased their currency (inflated it)
5. Plagues
6. Mass migration into Rome of people seeking "a better life". 

Any of these sound familiar?

In one sense I agree with you in that this system is massive and in motion. Things that are in motion want to stay in motion. Things this size take a tremendous amount of headwinds to come to a halt.  Consequently it took several centuries for the empire that was Rome to grind to a halt. What separates us from all of the massive empires that came before us is electricity.  Turn out the lights and we lose 90 percent of our population within one year.

A financial meltdown won't turn off the lights. Some fossil fuel plants might shut down because of inability to pay for fuels,  but hydroelectric and nuclear will continue humming along.  Both of those power sources have very high initial capital costs,  but minimal cash costs for day to day operations.    

The governments will quickly develop some type of payment scheme to keep the lights on.  

Take a look at Zimbabwe.  They had a complete meltdown of their financial system, where their currency lost up to half of its value per DAY.   They kept their lights on for the most part.   People found ways to deal with it.  Wasn't pretty,  but people and their infrastructure survived.  They certainly didn't thrive,  but they are alive.  

The people who came through it the best (other than the corrupt politicians and their cronies) are people who have skills or produce a needed product.

Here is a hypothetical scenario where the elites win big:

Develop a fast spreading, very lethal virus, sort of a cross between rabies and the common cold.

Spread the virus at hundreds of points around the world, then bug out and stay in your compound for about 2 years.

After 2 years, come out and declare yourself king of the wasteland. If you cut the population by 90% there will be plenty of resources.

Poke some holes in my scenario. I dare ya.

Things all of a sudden get very hard to produce, operate, manufacture, cook, generate, transmit, heal YOU NAME IT. The talent and productive people will be the resource everyone's after because someone's gone off and killed most of them. Do you know how a cell phone works or how to stop that satellite from plunging back down to earth?

Life will no longer be like you left it, so what's the point of being king and having all the material resources when there is just about zero chance you can enjoy it?

Perhaps the elites are going down their scuttle-holes in anticipation of one, or several, of Nibiru's incoming handmaidens paying us a visit.

Might the elites despite their best evasive endeavours inadvertently find themselves within the Instant Extinction Zones? It is to be hoped so.

Seriously, it's too late for anybody who didn't see this coming, when they had time to prepare. They're the same ones who'll be saying, "I didn't see it coming", as if it came out of nowhere. Some of them are family members I've been warning for years. And I guarantee, they'll be too proud to remember I was warning them.

...thus Michael Synder guys is a piece of work. Digression as Art.

I want to grab some Paxil or Cymbalta (SSRIs) and a handful of LexaPro after wading through his fear swamp.

I wonder at times how it must be for his wife?

The dude is all about dancing around the hole and no-go.

Hey---life requires both an this guy missed out on the plot loooong ago.

Pity his missus.

When the collapse comes the people who did it will all be hiding on their private Caribbean islands with their harem of blond Ukrainian children and the pitctures of all the politicians they bribed and blackmailed to let it happen.

 

It might not seem like it but the various paedophile scandals and non-scandals - Bohemian Grove etc - are a huge part of all this.

Actually many have left already.  They are here in Singapore, in Panama, Japan, etc.  They "commute" to USA for their board  meetings but thay laready have their homes, assets, families out of USA and their second passports ready.  They are not waiiting for the last day.

That's right, bachas (Babies), this is the REAL reason that the rich are leaving, especially USA.  It is NOT all about taxes, as you have been led to beleive. It is because they KNOW what is going to happen and they are coming here to Singapore, to Japan, Panama, and other safe havens where the pupulations are unlikey to riot, while they still can. 

 

Many places, USA in particular, are powder kegs waiting to explode,a nd explode they will.  With 20% of USA population on food stamps, record numbers in poverty, etc., it is any wonder that few in the know have faith in that country?  And all those propaganda "Good job Mr. President" attachements flooding the SNS when in fact Obama is simply hiding the facts. No, it is not all his fault. Things have been getting bad since 1990 for sure.  But he is making people believe that thigns are improving when in fact hey are not. 

 

IF YOU CAN LEAVE USA, LEAVE.  Rich wallas lare leaving in droves.   Many expensive homes are up for sale.   Only rich foreigners, mainly Chinese, are buying them. (Chinese are leaving China and only USA is desperate enough as a major country to take them in at only USD500,000 investment.  Canada and elsewhere has gotten tough.)

 

Things are NOT getting better there.  One doesn't need a PhD in economics to know  where the nation is headed.  Get out while you can.

Dying on ones feet is far preferable to living on ones knees.

Try this for a great thought exersize. 

JP Morgan Chase runs the entire EBT system. Should JPM fail, and the Cards fail, how long before the entitled masses of the FSA deside to take that which they have been told is righfully theirs?

They'll sort themselves out quickly. They attack the nearest target. The nearest target will be in the same hood.

I watch the closing of the NYSE everyday...they close with a gavel pounding a sound block. If instead I hear a bell ringing...then I know the top is in...no need to listen to Michael...

Come on! Someone push the bug red fuckin' button and get the fuckin' party started!

I want to see chaos, total-fucking-pandemonium!

I want to watch banksters throw themselves from 98th floor windows to escape the fire and pitchforks! Just to see them splat!
I wanna see the markets go into spasms that would make a orgasmic hooker look like a calm pond!
I want to see the elites hunted down and dispatched like the vermin they are!
I want to see sand niggers miss-time their detonators in the middle of their sin-a-gogues.
I want to see illegal spicks and hood rat niggers shooting it out in droves!
I wanna see kikes gassed with bear spray until they suffocate!
I want to see libtards mowed down like sheafs of wheat before the grim reaper!
I wanna see cops sodomized with their clubs and politicians hung from lamp posts!
I wanna see flames in the sky and smoke on the water!
I wanna see dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!

I wanna see entertainment that will make a curmudgeon like me grin blissfully at REAL entertainment!

The pride of your heart has deceived you,
    you who live in the clefts of the rocks[a]
    and make your home on the heights,
you who say to yourself,
    ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’
Though you soar like the eagle
    and make your nest among the stars,
    from there I will bring you down,”
declares the Lord.

How can a "global" elite move to "the other side of the planet"?  That's just unlogical.
