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.
I think the 0 Recession has yet to take hold and we are at the beginning of it.
But I believe in America. So he is wrong.
When TSHTF it’s going to be open season on looters — and open season on anyone who says “You can’t do that!”
He predicts that we will split up into six different countries, IIRC.
If people aren’t stocked up with survival provisions by now, time is short. I am counting on a long hard winter. No way can the recession be over like the government propaganda is proclaiming.
When people from outside America see things from a different prospective we should take note. Although Russia has wished for a long time that the US would fail, they see the seeds have been sowed by the Marxists in high offices.
I can’t predict which will get us first... rampant inflation, terrorists, economic collapse, internal civil-war... Obama’s working every angle possible to try and insure our demise.
Come visit us. We have something for you.
I can’t imagine this happening quite so soon, but I can’t say that it’s impossible either.
That’s the way I see it. Obama is working overtime on a number of initiatives to destroy us. It’s amazing.
I wish you were wrong, wrong, wrong, but... you are right on!
Seems to me, Obama and his radicals and the dictators around the world are tring to create Chaos and panic in the United States....So will it be another crash in wall street? Yes. Everything Obama has done has been wrong. Will Rham Emmanuel take advantage of it , yes. And Obama thinks he has a ‘shadow government’ standing and ready. He thinks that. I think the will of the American people will prove otherwise.
Too many morons think college football season and the NFL are coming. Well they are but a real mess is coming. This Russian guy is very sharp and he thinks somebody like Gates might be able to hold it together. It is odd how he mentions two specific people.
If it starts falling apart - hopefully texas will secede first. Many states in the NE and Midwest will go bankrupt along with California.
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. He will empty the jails and arm the convicts.
The Russian guy is probably right about june 2010. Things will be bad by then and the election will be nearing. this will be the total takeover attempt by Hussein.
In late September there will be another created “crisis” to deflect attention away from the lack of support for this adminstration. Despite being being behind creating the crisis, the administration will mishandle it causing major problems by mid to late October.
What Good Can a Handgun Do Against an Army.....?

As it starts to fall apart and NE, Midwest, California and a few other states go bankrupt - massive riots will start in those states. Those states will be total anarchy. I think Texas and neighboring states will fare better.
When I think about a fight for freedom, I'm always struck by how hard it would be to recognize the enemy. In the first revolution it was easy -- they had red coats. This next time, the enemy might be your kids' soccer coach, who knows?
But, hey, if the folks at the roadblock have Cuban or Russian accents, then the task gets much easier.
I can’t predict which will get us first... rampant inflation, terrorists, economic collapse, internal civil-war...
