What you can be stockpiling is durable goods that you will use in the future—because you do not want to be paying inflated prices for them down the line.
That approach already saved me a lot of money during the current inflation.
Also, learn to garden, brew deer and wine (hold hard liquor for barter), keep weapons for defense and hunting, form a trusted community just for starters.
Time is getting short.
I can’t wrap my head around all the possibilities here, either.
But, an image from one of my favorite children’s books come floating from the back of my memory.
It was a very big Gulliver, lying on the ground surrounded by many tiny Lilliputians carefully pinning him to the ground at many points around his massive body with pegs and rope.
I can see the USA as Gulliver at this point in our history, unable to move out of the mess we ourselves have allowed to happen. And the Lilliputians being those small minded individuals within our nation, and the many forces outside of our nation who are fed up with our corruption and interference in their affairs.
Just another prediction.
Wonderful.
Two weeks. Hmmmm.
Financial institutions open on Monday morning.
To get a jump on the collapse of the dollar, be the first in line at the bank and convert all your assets from dollars to rubles and rands.
“Ex-CIA Advisor Predicts Date When U.S. Dollar Hegemony Will Collapse (August 22nd, 2023)”
Who cares if the US Dollar is no longer the world’s reserve currency and the value of the dollar CRASHES. All that matters is UKRAINE!!!, UKRAINE!!!, UKRAINE!!!.
(Neocon response)
James has predicted a lot of things.
Two weeks?
No this really happening. Just search and read about the BRICs, and check out the latest news.
I know the Praetorian Guard (aka the media) did not tell you this, but it is very real.
No, Republicratsonomics.
Well, if there’s a silver lining to this potential pile of dog crap it’s that this would probably put an end to this “climate change” bullsh!t.
Quantaloos.
If China has veto power on this novel thing (and they will) EVERYTHING about it will be on their terms. That equals instant unreliability, as they will NEVER submit to any outside, authentic auditing.
The damned thing may come about; but it is doomed.
But the Humpty-Dumpty scenario will have set in. Good luck putting all the broken pieces back together.
It’s complicated for me, but I kinda get your premise.
” All the BRICs [nations] run mercantilist economies, so how will that happen? The best you could get is a Chinese controlled Yuan trading bloc where Chinese loans get recycled by making imports from China. “
But, if that’s accurate then how should we assess the industrial recession of the USA and all the West, particularly the former glory of German genius for manufacturing and unprecedented advances in multiple sector.. car engines, aircraft to lenses for eyeware? Just wondering.
Fuel and energy deficits paralyze Germany, as it is an inland nation.
Those are self imposed. One of the biggest problems caused by globalism is that it insulates local elites from the local consequences of the bad decisions they make. For example, German industry has lots of plants in eastern Europe and China now. They also export a lot of output directly to other EU countries. To put it bluntly, they don't need German consumers to be well paid to still have lots of customers. They can shaft them out of jobs, force local wages down, etc. We have a very similar problem. As local wages and consumption are depressed, with lower sales volumes the elites can still make more money by further outsourcing, raising margins on fewer sales.
Writing Aug 22 on my calendar... don’t know why.
There won’t be a US dollar after 2032. Only nine years to go.
Can he also give us the date JC comes back to earth?
The neocons are facing at least two very bad things:
The 2024 election
The collapse of the dollar
Let’s see...what is the neocon go-to play....oh, yeah it’s war and/or terror. Maybe biological/chemical/nuclear terror, at that.
Make it bad enough so that a ‘state of extreme emergency’ can be sold to the public. Too much of an emergency to have elections. Too much of an emergency for BRICS to get any traction with their replacement currency, at least in the short term.
Yeah, that’s it.
