Two Months Left To Read The Book On U.S. Collapse
Russia Today ^ | August 31, 2009 | Staff

Posted on 08/31/2009 7:53:15 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Professor Igor Panarin, whose book “The Crash of America” is just out, claims that by November the book will be yesterday’s news.

Panarin believes President Obama will lead his country to a breakup. Panarin compares Obama to former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev.

“Obama is “the president of hope”, but in a year there won’t be any hope. He’s practically another Gorbachev – he likes to talk but hasn’t really managed to do anything. Gorbachev at least had been a secretary of a regional communist party administration, whereas Obama was just a social worker. His mentality is totally different. He’s a nice person and talks nicely – but he’s not a leader and will take America to a crash. When Americans understand that – it will be like a bomb explosion,” Panarin said, speaking to journalists during the unveiling of his book.

Panarin made his controversial forecast back in 1998, saying 2010 would be the starting point of the collapse. He spent the following eleven years monitoring the events around the US and says they largely confirm his theory.

“Today I received another confirmation that the collapse of the dollar and the US is inevitable. Japan’s Democratic Party won the election, and I’d like to remind you that its leader [Yukio Hatoyama] has the snubbing of the dollar among his economic plans. In plainer words, he plans to transfer Japan’s monetary reserves from US dollars into another currency. The move will seriously accelerate the dollar’s exchange slump as early as this November. Disintegration will follow shortly,” he added.

Amid all these pessimistic statements, Panarin – once labeled by a WSJ journalist as “a polite and cheerful man with a buzz cut” – insists he is by no means a US-hater but, rather, just a scientist.

“I’m not anti-American, the US population has nothing to do with the part of its political elite that implements an absurd and aggressive policy that aims to create conflicts around the planet…….I hope to see the reasonable part of the American elite – I know there is one – benefiting in these two months left till the collapse. I can name two people that belong to this reasonable part – US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs William Burns. If they triumph in the political strife, the consequences of the collapse will be minimized.”

“The 2009 US budget deficit is 4.5 times the 2008 deficit, while firearms sales are up 40%. On October 1, the coupons that were given to state workers are to be cashed out. When the workers realize that they are getting nothing for those coupons, they will take out their firearms and chaos will unfold. Meanwhile, in a separate issue, as the financial year draws to a close on September 30, its results will be published. They are destined to shock investors worldwide. After that, and the snubbing of the dollar by Japan and, especially, China, which will transfer 50% of its international operations to Yuan starting in 2010, the currency will then flow like a landslide out of style. Argentina and Brazil are excluding the dollar from mutual financial operations starting January 2010, while Brazil offers to move toward alternative currencies throughout the whole of South America,” Panarin noted.

He also suggested Russia follow suit and begin selling oil and gas for roubles.

Panarin still leaves room for miscalculation, which would actually make him happy. And should the collapse not start in November, he is ready to explain why it didn’t happen by December. But at the moment, the collapse looks quite likely.

“In my opinion, the probability of the US ceasing to exist by June, 2010 exceeds 50%. At this point, the mission of all major international powers is to prevent chaos in the US,” Panarin concluded.

“The Afghanistan war is designed to destroy the military and tie them up over there while bankrupting the country faster. Obama wants the military over there.”

I’ve pondered on this for a while myself and I believe you’re right. But I also believe things aren’t going exactly as he had envisioned.

This sounds a little gloom and doom to me.
Many have predicted our demise for a long time

I do believe we will see stagflation, though

The article is nothing but gloom and doom, and I’m sure fear, uncertainty, and despair is a huge part of BHO’s strategy — throw everything at us and we’ll just throw up our hands and give in. Some will do that. Some will go along because they approve of his fascist plans for this country.

But the vast majority of Americans are not cut out that way and won’t go along with the program.

But I believe in America. So he is wrong.

Unfortunately, I do not share your confidence.

As a Christian, I continue to see prophecy fulfilled, and I keep reading the Bible. I do not see the US playing any major role in those times. To me, that indicates that we have been minimized. As a super power, I think we are done.

Tennessee? Grouped with the northeast??? ROTFLMAO!


I agree. This makes me question the guy’s thinking. AT LEAST Tenn, NC and SC would go with the SE. That would provides some good buffer for us in GA ;)

Then the resulting force could break through into southern CA to establish a Pacific port.

That was an excellent essay about handguns. The pollys fear an armed populace. No doubt. No question.

Obama is looking for a “crisis” so he can seize control. His czars are his politbureau of micromanagement, Marxist style.

Why do you think the Census is now registering GPS co-ordinates for every address in America? Unfamiliar with the territory and people, UN or another foreign backed entity could quickly move to secure and neutralize strategic locations. As defined by Homeland Security secret “files” on right wing “militia” and other resistance will be distributed for a quick takedown of groups and individuals identified as a threat to King el Presidente.

The Roman Empire did take many years to fall. But hardly comparable to now.

But consider we now have instantaneous communication and 100 times faster transportation. The seeds are in place for a rapid collapse and coordinated sequester of large blocs of the population.

A time frame in today’s context could be the matter of pushing a button, flipping a switch, or pulling a trigger.
Satellites fly over us every 7 minutes, maybe less, intervals providing up to the minute “intelligence on movements”. GPS in cell phones fill in the gaps.

Don’t think for a minute that a total collapse of Constitutional Rights can’t happen in a matter of minutes when the enforcers are in position. One order to move into position and military can move OPENLY with no alarm from the population. Once in place, everything about freedom STOPS!

I suggest you rethink your time frame scenario.

“All of the above + the “Swine Flu Crisis” brought to fruition by the US Government.”

This thought just came to me.

What kind of coincidence was it that when Obama visited Mexico City several months ago, that Mexican nationals “close” to his official visit were infected? One of the infected consequently came back to the US and died. Not sure about others, part of the visit, were exposed.

I’m not saying that a virus was planted in Mexico by the Obama people. But it is certainly interesting that we never heard about the swine flu until AFTER Obama’s visit to Mexico.

I know it’s a black helicopter. But in the context of crisis turning into power it’s hard to overlook. I’m preparing my tin foil hat for the fly over! lol

Obviously the Russian has no clue about demographics, red and blue states etc.

Whatever happens, I side with Texas and the south, including the plains states.

Welcome back then. I’ve taken flak myself for some other views. But not been banned. You must have really riled somebody.

Well, being the old brawler I am I did get a little hot with the person who labelled me a troll.

The funny thing to me is I was part of the Reagan revolution when the other person probably wasn't even born
