What Will Happen When The Government Collapses?

Yesterday, my colleague, Marty Biancuzzo, explained why America is on a path to inevitable economic and government collapse.

After reading Marty’s piece, another colleague asked me: What will America look like after a government collapse?

It’s an important question, and I want to give a satisfactory answer. But I can’t do that in one short column, so I plan to return to this topic several times over the next few weeks. I hope that when I’m done, you will have a better understanding of where the country is headed.

Now, consider our current situation…

It’s clear that Barack Obama and Congress have no plan to get the dead-in-the-water economy moving. In fact, they appear to be completely incompetent.

Too many Americans are jobless, an excessive number of Americans are dependent on government handouts to eat, and the countless Americans who could contribute to the economic recovery are frozen in place, unwilling to take risks due to an uncertain regulatory environment.

Now, it’s fashionable in some governmental circles to argue that another Great Depression could never happen. Politicians reason that America at present has far more tools to prevent such a cataclysm.

They believe that “things are different this time.” If only they knew how right they were.

It Is Different This Time… It’s Worse

I’ve heard investment advisors, central bankers, and politicians use the phrase “It’s different this time” so often, I want to wretch. This asinine statement is arrogant beyond reason.

Frankly, I believe we’re much more vulnerable to a prolonged depression than we were in 1929.

Here’s the truth: Today’s monetary manipulation may forestall a bust, but it can’t change the fact that one is inevitable. And when it arrives, it’ll be more devastating and difficult to solve than in the past.

1 - They will confiscate all the personal wealth they can get their hands on.

2 - They will finish turning the country into a totalitarian police state - in the interest of safety of course.

Mexicans will take over my Phoenix neighborhood and break into my house and murder me.

Incorrect assumption. They know EXACTLY what they are doing. They are QUITE competent in destroying us.

The freeways will be kind of crowded with all of the foreign and UN troops zipping around trying to get their hands on our WMD.

Off the top of my head I'm not aware of a major government collapsing absent actual invasion and conquest. Historically, governments do become so inept that their governance becomes almost totally nonexistent.

Now that those people who founded, developed and managed our country until 2008 have abdicated their right to govern we are undergoing an invasion and conquest by Third World denizens. It will be interesting to see if blacks and Mexicans actually come to blows in order to determine who shall take the remaining wealth of the Euro American.

And other countries are in a better position than they were after WW1 and WW2.

Which means they will wave as they pass us by.

Oh, and you don't have to worry about trying to make head shots......

Riots, Death, Destruction by simple minded Americans, marshal law, politicians hanging on a rope, a dictator and has control of the military, etc. Need more shi! or are we too dense not to understand this depression will make the 30’s look like a cake walk. Impeach King Obama and get the Senate in 2014 start the turnaround. Might work.

What will happen when the government collapses?

As it has in all ages:
