The Case Against Imminent Economic Collapse: “They Can Keep Bailing Things Out for Several More Years Without Fear of Collapse”
Joel Skousen
February 16th, 2015
Editor’s Note: The following commentary comes to us from Joel Skousen, a well respected geopolitical analyst and Strategic Relocation expert.
We see evidence of an impending collapse of the global financial and economic systems on an almost daily basis. From falsified statistics to an almost unfathomable series of never-ending monetary machinations, all signs point to something being horrifically wrong, not just with the economy but the entire global paradigm as it exists today. By all accounts, we seem to be standing on the brink of a collapse. But as Joel Skousen points out, we must keep in mind that the Wizard is still behind the curtain, and though things may be bad and getting worse, the puppeteers remain solidly in power and they continue to manipulate their marionettes across the board - in politics, in finance, in industry. Skousen argues that they may not yet be ready to pull the plug. But he’s not suggesting you should be lax with your vigilance. Rather, he proposes an alternate perspective, timeline and endgame as we prepare for a future that may well be plagued with economic hardship, government tyranny and war.
Mr. Skousen is the author of Secure Home and founder of World Affairs Brief.

Eventually the lemmings will run out of bricks.......
In about a decade people will realize that 2008-2017ish was the collapse. It being drawn out and kept relatively shallow by the FED machinations. It now looks like the FED will succeed in the basic endeavor to avoid the deep depression all the lazy failures keep hoping will happen.
By 2025 things will look bright again, it’s a demographic thing. This will be a long slow slog. But fortunes are seeded during bad times and lost during booms.
A lot of my friends (and I) have done very well during this entire period. The only common thing amongst us is we were all self-employed as small business owners, adjusted to the new reality and moved on.
I retired, as have some of my friends. The rest are making so much money they don’t want to stop yet. The other thing that’s common amongst us is that we all started with nothing but the desire to build wealth.
Ignore the macro BS and scare stories and get to work. There’s only so much time available for building wealth and is shouldn’t be wasted, no matter the wailings of others.
They will be the ones left behind, don’t stay with them. The worst that can happen is it will all collapse, and we’ll all start even. Then we’ll quickly leave the rest in the dust again.
How do you know it will be this Sept?
Just kick the can down the road, and then it will be someone else’s problem, not mine.
It’s what we have been doing for 30 years.
I like your attitude!
The real kicker in the article is at the end where he predicts war with China and Russia within the next decade.
10 years.
Several military people have said that the real threat is not the Mideast but rather it is Russia.
Pray that we get a president with some sense and loyalty to the US in time to rebuild the military that bummer is wrecking.
I think most people who think that something has got to give ‘sooner or later’ would admit that it could easily be “later”.
Takeaway ACA-Extortion Action, the buying and selling, trafficking-trading in Human Body Mortgages, and watch what happens to the Exempt Ones.
I don't believe it is the "puppeteers" that will make the call, but rather this nation's debtors. If China sits on a large quantity of dollars then, when their military becomes sufficiently powerful relative to ours, we'll either implement austerity or go to war against them.
If China exchanges those dollars for real property (e.g buying diamond mines in Africa) then the current system could/will gradually deteriorate for decades, but will not end in war (because Africa will almost certainly never become a global power).
Blood Moon Tetrad.
LOL.
Dak ham is a superior substitute.
MUCH better.
Harbinger. Read the book. How it will pan out is anybody's guess. The article brings up some good points.
Sure, “they” can keep kicking the can down the road.
But, ultimately, it’s not going to be their timing when this whole thing comes crashing down.
I’m still going with Sept 2015.
That’s two of you saying september 2015.....THIS YEAR.
I think it’s on down the road a ways, maybe five years or longer.
Those responsible would like to delay it further,
but it’s not in their hands.
