"The present times mirror earlier ones in which empires trembled and fell. Neither Russia nor China would be unhappy to see the greatest capitalist democracy in the world fall into ruin."

All too true....

EBT cards are today’s soup kitchens - and they’re probably far more abundant.

Forgot one thing. There are 200 million (+) armed American patriots in the equation this time around.

.
With a little help from their friend in the WH, the American Baath Party and the MSM, Russia and China will get their wish soon enough.

From the article"

"The Obama administration has exacerbated the banks' ability to recover by imposing excessive and likely unconstitutional regulation."

should that not be, "the banks INability to recover"?

“What America had, however, was an industrial base that was up to the task of becoming “an arsenal for democracy.” Today our manufacturing base has been hollowed out with much of it outsourced to other nations or harmed by unions, excessive regulation, and trade policies that left them at a disadvantage.”

This is not true.

Our manufacturing sector produced $1.855 Trillion in 2010 with 12.5 million workers. The number of manufacturing workers keeps decreasing while the output keeps increasing. We are able to produce more with less workers.

Rudyard Kipling saw all this a century ago:

...
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

“The U.S. debt is historic — $15 trillion and climbing”

When you add the $16 trillion the Federal Reserve gave away to the banks here and in Europe and without Congressional approval then our actual debt is more like $32 trillion!

What is it about our dire situation that the mainstream media understands? We need more information on the Sandusky trial, more sports coverage? The country is headed to ruin.

Not to worry, since the economy is so bad illegal immigration is no longer a problem.

We are not ‘stumbling’ into anything. We are being herded like cattle, prodded and whipped into chaos and confusion. This is deliberate and calculated to end the US as we knew it. The damage is already uncalculable. What’s more, We the People are complicit in our own demise.
