Thanks Thanks.

Well, the first part of pure tinfoil hat delusionary fantasy no longer looks so far-fetched.

If you read accounts of what happened to the middle class in Argentina during and after their 2001 economic crisis, neither does the rest of it.

A whole lot of bad characters aren't going to like it when their monthly government checks stop showing up, and they'll be headed to collect the drug and alcohol money that Whitey owes them from anyone in the vicinity who still has any.

The proposed Army presence in urban areas isn't about shooting rebellious conservative patriots (their egos notwithstanding) it's about shooting the Crips, Bloods, and MS-13 types who threaten what remaining legitimate taxpayers the government will desperately need alive. Correcting the fallout from the Great Society, in other words.

If the world situation does not stabilize, I can see #2 happening. The US is dependent on foreigners buying our T-Bills. If all of a sudden we need to roll over a T-Bill issue, and we don’t have enough buyers, then either the government stops spending so much (unlikely) or the fed just creates money and we have hyper-inflation like Wiemar Germany or Zimbabwe.

For maximum protection always place the shiny side out.

Implementation of this scenario requires a federal government competent enough to tie its own shoes.

Do you see the problem?

Hmmm... what was it that Biden said about a generated crisis or something? What was the timeline for that crisis?

I'm not on board with this posting's validity but in the words of Dan Rather, it may be "fake but accurate".

[RubyR]

The Biden thing was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the timeline.

So far the September prediction is a little off, but considering what I am seeing in the stock market and the Automaker bailout (not to mention unemployment and retail figures), it looks even more plausible today than when I last posted here.

[BP2]

Yep, complete whackjob, tin-foil mat hattery...

I sad thing about this, the Government KNEW this was coming and apparently did little or nothing to prevent it.

Anyone who thinks the government doesn't have those sorts of contingencies plans is a FOOL.

I'd hardily recommend to everyone, if you and your friends and family are not in the process of preparing for the worst, do so immediately.

[RobRoy]

I actually bought a place in Kentucky. Part of the motivation was self sufficiency.

[wolfcreek]

Excellent.

We live in a small *Redneck* neighborhood well outside of a major population center with our own water supply. We see how well the neighbors respond before leaving them to their own devices.

Stay safe!

I was wondering what happened to this thread- thanks

Bump.
