Well, on the bright side, the Taliban is finally winning in Afghanistan. Oh, wait, that’s not the bright side ...

Looks like the moneychangers has the world by the nads.
“7. Unrest will grow worse as food, energy and other necessities become more expensive. The unrest started in poorer countries but, as prices continue to rise, will spread to more affluent nations. Can “Democratic movements” occur in supposedly already democratic societies?”

I guess that depends on the country.
Here in the Philippines, the climate does not change, so
no one will go cold.
No one has any money, and most live in third world housing and conditions, but they entertain themselves and stay happy.
Veggies, fruit, and fish are plentiful all year.
I can easily see many horrors in the US and Europe, but for
here, I feel safe.
END TIMES, DREAMS, VISIONS, PROPHECY PING LIST
PING . . .
I guess about all I can safely say to these points is that they are worth prayerful pondering in light of BIBLICAL END TIMES SCRIPTURES.
Ping for later
Atlas shrugs at the economic mess we are making? Where will the productive members of failed societies go? I think that they will flee from Greece, China and other countries to the USA.
I have great faith in the American people as long as we don't loose sight of what made this country.
Most of Europe is toast with a few exceptions. China has a real potential to implode in violence and bloodshed. The Middle East is also likely to implode in violence and bloodshed.

It amazes me that Mr. Pelerin does not see the dark hand of Communism behind all this. They have been at this for over 100 years and the end game is described in George Soros Open Society Institute. He and they intend a Stalinist state with brutal totalitarian control of “the masses”. You and I are the masses.
This country is about 100 TRILLION dollars in debt. Even if they balanced the budget today and then some, say cut back so that we were 500 billion a year to the good, it'd take 80-100 years to pay off all the debt these politicos have built up for us over the last 40 years.
And we all know the chances that they'll drop their spending demands to where we're 500 billion to the good every year.

That's cool. Chances are that in the time it took to write the article, the golf course went bankrupt and the links have gone to weed.
What hurts most during this depression is seeing favorite stores and restaurants close their doors suddenly. One day they are there and the next time you go buy it's another empty storefront.
It's heartbreaking.
The United Nations is the plan .. to head and set regulations globally, make international law, and controls.
This is the plan. We are not sliding this way accidentally, we are being forced by the world leader to create such a state of affairs it will seem necessary and even desirable to form a one world government.
HORRORS It is ‘Doctor Zhivago’ ... all over again ... for all the prosperous nations.
Can it be stopped? Doubtful because we have become so docile and complaint. There are many nations more populous than America. So we will be overrun and overwhelmed, I fear.
We live in a crazy upside down world, and no one is noticing..
What are we to do?
Pray. Get right with God.
Sorry about the golf game. First things first.
