Call them what they are: “Politboro”

Don’t mince words and don’t adopt the gross misnomer they wish to apply to themselves to make what they’re doing seem legal.

If you think this has at least an even money chance of playing out move at once to Arcata California or some such protected locale (northern Idaho perhaps) equip yourself for sustained living and covert most of any left over cash to specie. Then hope the US will come out as far ahead as it did the last time around.

Here's the scary part: just a nuclear conflict between China and India could kill twice the number of dead in all of World War II from a nuclear exchange.

It wouldn't even take that much. One high or two altitude EMPs over North America sends this planet back to the 18th century...minus the skills to survive in that era.

Two words for you: Obama Voters aka Liberal Voters

Voting rights for welfare recipients AND for “adults” aged 18-21 whose mothers are still receiving “child” support payments “on their behalf” should be repealed (In NYS, Child Support is mandatory to age 21 and sometimes beyond)

When the AntiChrist presents his plan to feed the starving, those who are “Left Behind” will pretty mach have to accept that “mark” you refer to in order to eat or die.

a gigantic debt bubble has fueled a tremendous amount of "fake prosperity" in the western world. But for a debt bubble to keep going, the total amount of debt has to keep expanding at an ever increasing pace

Debt, in a variety of forms, has been used as money (or, more accurately, as a money substitute) since 1913. There has been no real money in the world for 40 years. The "bubble" merely defines the expansile nature of debt without repayment.

Fiscal policy and monetary policy are merely tools, like a hammer.

If I give you rubber nails and tell you to build a house, how heavy your hammer is, what shape it is, how long the handle is, will be of no consequence.

That's the situation we are in. All the policymakers have to work with are rubber nails.

It's amazing that this "system" has lasted as long as it has, but there was a lot of power and wealth in the West to be consumed.

The jig is up.

That's if we don't get the effects of a nuclear winter from a full-scale nuclear exchange. Essentially, we would have essentially nearly no sunlight for 4-5 years, and any rain that falls will contain dangerous amounts of radioactive fallout in that first 4-5 years. In short, it would be equivalent of a supervolcano eruption: it has the potential to wipe out 95% of all life on Earth, not only from cutting off agriculture, but also from the possibility the cooling may be strong enough to trigger off another major advance of glaciers--a real Ice Age.

The jig is up.

From an old book that explains old sayings called "Loose Cannons and Red Herrings:

The Jig is up: The jig was originally a lively dance then a satirical, even scurrilous ballad, and eventually a practical joke or swindle. If the joker or swindler was exposed, the jig was up for them.

It has been being predicted and has been a long time in the making, but it is looking more and more likely that the Global RESET button will be pushed very soon.

Relief will come in November, 2012. Until then it will be more of the same.

I am expecting a global currency to be the proffered solution

The problem with the notion of a global currency is demonstrated by a complete and utter inability to manage smaller currencies worldwide. What on earth makes anyone think these same people can possibly manage a "global" currency when they have demonstrated beyond a shadow of doubt that they cannot manage the Euro or the Dollar? The same is true for the so-called "one world government". These folks who claim to be "leaders" haven't demonstrated the ability to successfully run a small city, much less something as diverse as the entire world population.
