PING!!!
I think that we are at the very least in for a collapse much like that of Argentinas ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yerKMQc7-w&feature=grec_index), but as a armed society with a very large entitlement minded population our collapse will be much more violent and I see many many small business wiped out by flash mob looting, and large scale violence (look at what happened just this past Memorial Day and 4th of July weekends)we are seeing these mobs grow bolder and bolder like:
Chicagos CBS 2s Jim Williams reports, the problem of mob attacks downtown is much bigger than the weekend beatings, according to beat cops who wanted to remain anonymous.
And its not just Chicago, but Washington DC, Las Vegas, St Paul, Philadelphia and on most major big Blue cities are increasingly reporting such flash mobs and gang muggings. Look what happened just this past weekend in Peoria, Il:

I see what I call Pocket Pogroms taking place in many big Blue cities and if you arent a 0bamamite yute or one of Holders People its going to get Reginald Denny bad for you very quickly.
For those who are just starting or are old hands at prepping you may find my Preparedness Manual helpfull. You can download it at:
http://www.tomeaker.com/kart/preparedness1i.pdf
For those of you who havent started already its time to prepare almost past time maybe. You needed to be stocking up on food guns, ammo, basic household supplies like soap, papergoods, cleaning supplies, good sturdy clothes including extra socks, underwear and extra shoes and boots, a extra couple changes of oil and filters for your car, tools, things you buy everyday start buying two and put one up.
As the LDS say When the emergency is upon us the time for preparedness has past.
Or as the bible says: A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
NIV Proverbs 22:3
There is no greater disaster than to underestimate danger.
Underestimation can be fatal.
What’s Soros buying this week?
Not just banks. Large companies are stockpiling cash right now.
Expanding the debt limit means more Fed money propping up Wall Street, keeping the market safe for whatever elitists that are left to play with it.
Large companies are stockpiling cash right now.

Fiat currency or REAL money?
Just like if a boil needs lancing, just bite the bullet and lance it before blood poisoning sets in.
At this point the patient has a bad case of blood poisoning, not lancing the boil will just make the patient sicker.
Does this article have any legs or is it just the writer’s opinion? Are hedge funds making significant shifts to stockpile cash in anticipation? I’d appreciate some secondary corroboration from FReepers if they know about this. Thanks for posting it. - OB1
We will not default.
The US Treasury takes in roughly $200B/month. Figure about $51B for SSI and Medicare payments, about $6B for defense, about $30B in debt interest, and about $71B for all other essential services.
The “default” is a scare tactic that is being used by anyone concerned with their political career, rather than with what is best for America.
