The 7-Stage Collapse Pattern: Spain, Britain, USSR... USA Is At Stage 5
Economy Rewind ^ | 23/10/25

Posted on 10/26/2025 1:15:47 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

For 500 years, a pattern has destroyed every global superpower that followed it. Spain collapsed in the 1600s. Britain lost its empire by 1954. The Soviet Union disintegrated in 900 days. Three empires. Three complete collapses. All following the exact same seven-stage sequence. And the United States has already completed five of those seven stages.

This documentary traces the collapse pattern across three superpowers and five centuries—from Spain's silver wealth that bankrupted the richest empire on Earth, to Britain's pound that lost reserve currency status within decades of two world wars, to the Soviet Union that went from superpower to non-existent in less than three years. Each believed they were exceptional. Each believed the pattern wouldn't apply to them. Each followed the sequence to total collapse anyway.

The seven-stage pattern is identical across all three empires: Stage 1 - Military Overextension, Stage 2 - Currency Debasement, Stage 3 - Debt Spiral, Stage 4 - Loss of Productive Capacity, Stage 5 - Social Decay, Stage 6 - Loss of Reserve Currency Status, Stage 7 - Collapse. Spain completed all seven stages between 1590 and 1670. Britain completed them between 1914 and 1954. The Soviet Union completed them between 1945 and 1991. And the United States is currently at Stage 5, with clear warning signs of Stage 6 emerging.

Looking at turn of events since Trump was sworn it, it appears that the Administration is well aware of this, and is trying to reverse the stages. He's cutting back on military commitments, buying gold, reviving manufacture and cutting runaway spending. It's still a near thing, because the autopen administration was doing the exact opposite, and was hurtling towards imperial collapse on rocket-powered roller skates. It may be too late. Pray it's not.

I am prayerful but not optimistic.

agree.

If anyone can change the direction of this country—it’s trump.

I actually know how he can create a 50-100 trillion dollar sovereign wealth fund.

It’s called western Canada. Western Canada needs the US and the US needs western Canada.

The infomercials tell me that people are expecting a cataclysm. There are all sorts of ads for long-storage freeze-dried meals, extracting water from the air, extracting electricity from the air or the ground, lots of survival tools, such as powerful flashlights and legal guns that shoot non-lethal but debilitating darts, herbal remedy books, etc. People are hawking these wares because there’s a market for them.

If Canada were to collapse, it would be America’s manifest destiny to take the western provinces into the fold of a more perfect union, and they would thank you for it, until the Californian refugees start showing up like the Joad family, but with their cockamamy leftard ideas still intact.

It could be that the leftards want that collapse, and that’s why they hate him so. He’s threatening “their” demoncrazy by solving problems.

Forget the “stages.” There is only one variable: defeat by Islam. That immediately ends any existing civilization. 60 nations have come under the sword of Islam. Only 3 have liberated themselves from it - after CENTURIES. Spain, India and Israel. That’s IT. And Europe barely escaped defeat at two decisive battles. Now they - and we - have literally IMPORTED the armies, willingly, as “migrants” or “immigrants.” But they are armies nonetheless. And once a critical mass of them inhabit a nation, it is fatal.

Too be honest, President Trump is not doing enough. He's trying. Trump may be like Emperor Diocletian who was able to stabilize the Roman Empire. But he was unable to stop the inevitable—The Fall of Rome.

President Trump needs to cut the size of the bureaucracy by 90% (I recognize that it may not be possible).

We should dismantle the Army because we have the National Guard.

We should reduce the size of the Marine Corps—they'll be more like Special Forces.

We should grant independence to California, Washington and Oregon.

Plus Puerto Rico.

Once we do all of that, we should be in fairly good shape.

Woke Americans can move to California and Portland.

well yes. That’s certainly part of of their assumptions. So everything they do works off that assumption up to and including pushing it faster. If that doesn’t happen they will look like terrible chumps and worse.

That’s also part of the reason that the islamists will take over the democrat party. the academic cultural marxist will blow up and then collapse. because their anti americanism is home grown. the islamists are not home grown. they only know the decadent left. so they are taking over in decadent leftist places.

It’s the social decay that bothers me most since we could end it immediately if we followed the Ten Commandments..

The federal government has been an early stage investor in many —maybe most of america’s large companies that are currently worth trillions of dollars. this has been going on since wwII. the feds never took an interest—that is bought shares in any of the companies.

Trump changed that policy. He first bought Intel and a couple miners. but those companies will not enjoy the kind of stock price expansion of the fangs or tesla or nvidia. to name the biggest —but there are hundreds of others. Plus many thousands over the years.

That has changed. More recently trump and the commerce secretary made investments in quantum computing companies. This kind of computing is improving but won’t go mainstream for another X number of years. It looks like it will build out from niche markets. but when it does—it will be very big. these quantum computing companies will be very big.

So the USA investments will enjoy capital gains of 1000-10000 percent or more. That’s what typically happens. There are failures but failures are blown off by the winners.

Multiply that by 1000 companies or 10,000 companies. Because that’s what the AI revolution is going to do. Its going to create an entirely new industrial revolution. All of the industrial base that the USA exported overseas is coming back home.

People don’t quite get that trump is now talking about an investment inflow into the USA of about 15-20 trillion dollars.

An investment portfolio of 1 trillion dollars will be worth 40-100 trillion in 20-30 years or less. Wall street has already caught on. JP Morgan chase has recently annouced the creation of the 1.5 trillion dollar investment fund.

No, we need to retake California, Washington and Oregon and resettle the sociakists in actual ongoing socialist countries. We do not give up the entire west coast. They leave.

The problem starts with a K-12 system that's more designed to get teachers secure jobs than get 12th grade graduates a good career path. Then we have a party that needs 12th grade graduates with the skills to stock shelves so they can blame capitalism, corporate greed and make empty promises of guaranteed jobs that pay a living wage so they'll get votes and power.

It's exactly what you would do if you were trying to destroy a country from within
