The big takeaway here is that "The Event", the SHTF event is happening just about now.

Every other article places it nearby, at some time in the future. here the argument is that it is just getting started and to hold on to your seat. Yikes!

If their elected representatives fall in love with tyranny, the American people will vote them out

Nice in theory but with incumbents returned at a 95% rate, this isn't the reality.

The FED is manufacturing a crisis by its opposition to the street. The clearer this becomes the more likely the FED will be dismantled.

These pivots take place around large events...wars, natural disasters, etc.

It will not happen with Trump in office. They need someone sympathetic to the gloval socialist movement.

Editorial Board sounds way better when your trying to gin up credibility of a piece written by anonymous.

I would like the FED to disappear, but I’m not expecting it.

Let's start with a $21.5 Trillion National Debt.

Kennedy was president for 2 years 10 months.
Trump is on the threshold of 2 years.

Because of vote fraud.

Honest elections are a thing of the past, if they ever happened.

Sorry, but “government” is too broad a term to have any useful meaning in the context of collapse.

There is no collapse. Perhaps you are thinking of the misnamed “shutdown”.

Some fraud for sure but as I go about my daily life it’s impossible to dismiss the sheer stupidity of the voting public.

In Gulag Archipelago, Soviets were described by Solzhenitsyn as wind up dolls marching forward but never thinking for themselves.

We, as Americans, have never been in this situation.

You post this as if you are actually here in the USA living among your fellow Americans. Fighting to keep our sovereignty, culture and heritage alive.

But you're not.

Just remember this:

"The withdrawal of a State from a league has no revolutionary or insurrectionary characteristic. The government of the State remains unchanged as to all internal affairs. It is only its external or confederate relations that are altered. To term this action of a Sovereign a 'rebellion' is a gross abuse of language."

"Secession belongs to a different class of remedies. It is to be justified upon the basis that the States are Sovereign. There was a time when none denied it. I hope the time may come again, when a better comprehension of the theory of our Government, and the inalienable rights of the people of the States, will prevent any one from denying that each State is a Sovereign, and thus may reclaim the grants which it has made to any agent whomsoever."

-- President Davis

I’ve noticed the last few years that every year is much more “interesting” than the year before, but also that humans are like cockroaches, and highly adaptable to their situation.

I saw it in 2007 when housing in my area, Seattle, collapsed. I remember saying, on seattlebubble.com, that real estate could drop as much as 20%. I was chastized for it because it was crazy talk and sounded apocalyptic. And it did, even to me.

Well, prices dropped as much as 50% in many areas and much more than 20% everywhere else. So, was it an apocalypse? Yes. But what was people’s reaction? “What a great buying opportunity.

They ignored that before the collapse, defaults on real estate loans happened, but were definitely not common. And now everyone knew at least one person, if not many or even themself, that simply walked away from their home, or became squatters in a home someone walked away from. It just became the new normal and was no big deal.

It’s how we seem to operate.

And yes, 2019 will be a lot more “interesting” than previous years. How interesting remains to be seen.

“First of all, America is large, modern, and well managed. Societal collapse only happens to mismanaged tyrannies. It never happens to an advanced “democracy” like the United States.

People who do not understand our system of government have zero business writing about it.

We are NOT a "democracy" we are a representational republic. Those who don't know the difference shouldn't be spewing garbage like this blog about it.

That is definitely a factor and amazes me as well.

Not just some random anonymous guy, but one who claims the government installed probes in his brain so he could “talk” with extraterrestrial/extradimensional beings as part of some secret program (MAJestic), and who now lives in China apparently.
