The Final Illusion

Memorial Day Meltdown is bubbling along quite nicely thank you. No, the Stock Market hasn't crashed yet, but the system is failing. If you are not careful, you will soon have a dent in your head from the falling economic debris. Even Maria, Maria of CNBC fame is now being exposed, besides her bosom I mean, for the fraud she always was. Enron memos are showing up that imply the California energy crisis was rigged. Gee, what a surprise. The New York Attorney General is investigating Wall Street because, GASP, the stock research was slanted. President Pretzel is trying to explain how he didn't really ignore warnings of the September 11th attack, he just didn't take them seriously. And the Democrats have turned on the scandal detecting device they conveniently left off the whole 8 years Clinton was in office. Why it's enough to make a person cynical it is. I mean, we all know our leaders are incompetent traitors, we just didn't realize they would be THAT incompetent and traitorous.

Ah, the twilight of the United States is unfolding before my very eyes. Just watch the evening news for a month, followed by the "Don't Worry be Happy-and be sure and buy something, television shows" and you will realize America is through. Just wait till whoever, and for whatever reason, hits us again. The entire system will collapse like the farce it is. The great flock of my fellow countrypeople know what is going on in their pigeon minds. They know they are being lied to by corrupt, incompetent and amoral asses. They just have made the decision they cannot deal with it mentally. So the vast majority of Americans simply act like all is normal. Even as the terrorist alerts pile up and even as terrorist plots are foiled right and left, people maintain the final illusion of normalcy in America. I find the denial mechanism simply fascinating. I'm dosed with chemtrails nearly every day, but the local weather broadcast doesn't mention a word about it. Now that, is information control worthy of anything the Third Reich practiced.

As for economics, does it really matter anymore? My thoughts are leaning towards domestic terrorist strikes with weapons of mass destruction, civil war inside the United States between the various racial and economic groups and overseas military disaster leading to the invasion of the United States. The context of our times is a civilization in collapse. The context is global chaos on a scale not seen since Rome fell. The context is the scum that rule this planet are going to take it down with them. And here am I just drifting along the current, waiting for the dam to break and the roaring flood to overwhelm me. Will my gold protect me when they shut the banks like they did in Argentina? Will my guns protect me when civil war breaks out? Will my health protect me when biological weapons are used? Will anything protect me from the lunacy about to explode on this planet over the next decade? Hell, I have no idea. I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band as the Moody Blues used to sing. It's true I don't know anything. The important thing is I realize I don't know anything. This, in my opinion, is the beginning of wisdom.

The GATA lawsuit was crushed. The stock market and economic manipulations continue unabated by Mr. Magoo and his clowns. The system desperately continues to try and maintain the final illusion all is well. Unfortunately, reality is intruding into the little garden party in the form of the Mask of the Red Death. Sure, the illusion can be maintained for a while longer. My timing may be off, but the system is coming down, politically, militarily, economically, ecologically and psychologically. Whatever American television tells us, and no matter how much Prozac people take, Americans are suffering from mass lunacy. All except me, who always having been crazy am doing just fine. Actually, I'm in my element now. I intend to enjoy myself in what little time we have left before TSHTF. In fact, assuming either the Red Chinese or North Koreans use the missile technology Bill Clinton gave them to vaporize Portland, I shouldn't have to worry about anything. I've calculated that, if home, I will be on the outer edge of the impact crater and, if at work, at the outer edge of the primary blast and heat wave. Works for me. None of this running around eating Alpo garbage. They go nuke and I want out cleanly. Biologicals I'll take my chance with my immune system and healthy lifestyle. Urban chaos, civil war and foreign invasion, I'll take my chances with my 12 gauge. Economic collapse and I'll take my chance with my 12 gauge also. Take my word for it: you do not want to meet me when I'm in survival mode and have a loaded shotgun in my hands. If all that happens is civilization collapses, I'll do just fine.

Considering what is likely to happen economically in the United States over the next few months and years, I'm amazed the illusion is holding up. Japan is about to have its entire banking system declared insolvent by the rating agencies. Half of Argentina's population lives below the poverty line and they shut the banking system down last week. Just went on TV and shut the banks down. Amazing. By all means, keep some gold, silver and cash on hand physically, in a safe place, at your home. I believe soon the same thing will happen in the United States. Gold is starting to move up, although it's unclear to me how much it will be allowed to move up. There is a very real possibility any capital gains will be taxed away as "windfall profits." Or a national economic emergency will be declared and gold seized. If you think they won't do it, you are naive. The same crowd who has rigged the economic system for years will do whatever they have to stay in power. They don't mind some gold increase, Buffet wants to make some money on his 100 million ounces of silver, but they won't allow things to get out of hand. Gold will never be allowed to go to $1000 an ounce in my opinion. The damage to the derivative market will require a savage response from the FED. You will be faced with the choice of selling it and paying a huge special tax, or burying it in your backyard for another fifty years. That's the way I see it, so save your e-mail. Send it to Mr. Magoo as if he cares. Unless you think they won't be able to do this since the entire system has collapsed. If they can, they will and if they can't, you will need guns and not gold. So long as the current corrupt group is in charge of the planet, fiat money and the fiat bubbles thus created will be protected at all costs. Take a hard look at the people control systems being introduced on a global basis, the microchips, cloning, cameras, identification systems, economic verification systems, and tell me they aren't moving to crush gold once and for all. Like Star Trek's Borq say, "You will be assimilated, Resistance is Futile." Precious metals will make it an interesting fight, but Mr. Magoo is quite willing to impose dictatorship to keep things under the control of the globalists. On the other hand, the Borq lost didn't they Mr. Magoo? The fight for economic freedom will reach its climax soon. Things are going to get very interesting in the United States over the next five years. Very interesting indeed.

It's true I don't know anything. The important thing is I realize I don't know anything. This, in my opinion, is the beginning of wisdom.

not many are humble enough to say this. i think this is what makes me respect mcintosh's observations.

I feel like I'm the only one who's going to say this, which may put me into the Larouche category of crazy people...BUT!!!

Are we forgetting that we are online and openly discussing this with no fear of persecution? That we can put out Freep alerts to boycott gold or Wall Street and actually make a difference?

Am I the only one who sees that the little Weasels in the Media are starting to FLINCH every time Internet News is mentioned in their presence? America is NOT dying...Its just that a wave of conservatism is forming and you gotta have a trough before you get a peak...

I found the analysis in this piece to be sensationalistic, but thanks for the Ping, my Freeper Friends! Lets do some op ed pieces on PANIC and LAZINESS which is what I see are America's biggest problems... Only LAZY people expect the stock market to pay their bills Freepers should own their own businesses and hire people with conservative ideas and pay them what they're worth...If we did that as a group, I guarantee we could put a dent in the downward slope of America...Make MONEY ETHICALLY!!!!

FREEP IT TILL IT HURTS!!!

Peace, OUT!

unrealistic?????? I don't think so. The truth when it's unpleasant doesn't make it any less the truth. Wise is the man and woman who takes note.

He believes that everyone is worthy of contempt. That's unrealistic. Sure, there are bad apples in government and business, but there are bad apples everywhere and I would venture to say that the percentage of bad apples in government and business is about the same as the percentage of bad apples in many other occupations or group (except of course the Democratic fraternity and the terrorist groups, they have a very high percentage of bad apples :^)...).

I don't agree with this author on the causes of what is happening
but I too think there is a falling apart going on
however I agree with a poster above who expressed optimism
what the author fails to realize is that for something new and visionary to take the place of what we have
the old formerly impermeable structures have to begin to give way
my hunch is we are watching a shift in consciousness
never before has what is taking place on federal level seemed so unreal to me
and never before did I feel a vision of freedom so in grasp

I believe we are on the road to decline and collapse

We are on the road of a major inflation. It is not the end of America as we know it. It has happened before. Are yall old enough to remembeer jimmy Carter? And he was not the poime offender in that scene. Johnson gave the first nudge to that ball and Nixon got it rolling good. Carter was there when it became obvious and could no longer be redefined away and Jimmy's boys made some spectacularly wrong decisions.

Well, it is happening again. We will have a few frantic years of high inflation- prices are only starting on their upward trip and there is 30% of inflation in the last 18 months that the CPI will come inexorably to reflect. Then san candidate will be elected who understands economics or who knows who does and things will ease back into actual prosperity

So long as the government feels it must intervene econmomically to fix things, anything, the dollar will not be truly stable. The government cannot halt inflation by active measures and bureaucrats and politicians cannot think in long enough time frames to be able to do the right things anyway.

Not much here to debate...Just the bitter rant of a know-it-all who probably lost his shirt on some get-rich-quick scam.

Either that or he has grandiose fantasies of omniscience and wants to sell a newsletter.

I get junk mail like this every day.

Remember the good old days when doom and gloom whackos (who have yet to ever be right BTW) had to wander around wearing clapboard? Now they get to annoy people en mas on the internet, but they don't get the excercise and sun like they used to. At least before there were some side benefits to being nuts.

If the original author you and you mean that stuff then yup. I've been hearing the same song and dance all my life, a few of the words change every now and then but pretty much it's all the same: economic collapse, race war, class war, end of the nation, end of the world, doom, doo-oo-oo-mmm. Charles Manson was into the same stuff in the late 60s. 30+ years later it ain't happened yet. Then there's the enviromentalists, and the food shortage crowd. Seems there's a large quantity of people who just aren't happy if they think the world might actually out live them.

Of course I am watch The Omen right now, whatever that means.

Chemtrails is a kook paranoid belief that the jet vapor trails you see in the sky are an organization spraying some kind of mind-controlling chemicals on us.

BELIEF??!!

It's a FACT!!

You must be one of those government synthesizers.

In the interest of full disclosure I suppose I should admit that in the late 80s and early 90s I was one a doomcrier to. Quite convinced the whole sh!tpot was on the brink of melting down. I was quite convinced the whole thing was going to fall apart in 5 years. You know what happened 5 years after I first predicted that? The Rodney King riots. Problem is they stopped. Turned out I was full of crap. Now, as a recovering doomcrier that has accepted how dumb he was, I feel I have some leeway to poke at other doomcriers.

People can call him crazy if they want.

If he's wrong, there are only two other explanations:
1) they are incompetent, or
2) they are corrupt.
