"This is more than a statistical story. It is the end of the Age of America. As a bond strategist in Europe told me two weeks ago, “We are witnessing the end of America’s economic hegemony.”

We have lived in a world dominated by the U.S. for so long that there is no longer anyone alive who remembers anything else. America overtook Great Britain as the world’s leading economic power in the 1890s and never looked back.

And both those countries live under very similar rules of constitutional government, respect for civil liberties and the rights of property. China has none of those. The Age of China will feel very different."

Before 2016 the commiecrats and Obama will have signed us up for agenda 21 and global communism. This will fail as well.Will we have to live through the NWO failure or will someone impeach Obama? Is the current GOP (other than the tea party freshmen)
for Obama’s plan of UNITY IN DIVERSITY AKA NWO with the UN?

Yay?

Prediction: this event horizon will be massively underreported if the Kenyan is still in office when we cross.

The IMF must have viewed the movie Atlas Shrugged.

"This is the moment when we must build on the wealth that open markets have created, and share its benefits more equitably. Trade has been a cornerstone of our growth and global development. But we will not be able to sustain this growth if it favors the few, and not the many."

-Barack Hussein Obama

The problem is that China is in every bit as deep doo-doo as we are. They are a house of cards. The thing is if they lose half a billion people, the rest will be like ‘more room for us.’ They just don’t care.

Seems it is the end of the dollar at least.

Look at Silver. Now over $48.00 in Asian trading overnight. See it in real time.

The end of the “American Age” happened when a significant enough percentage of the population decided it would be neat to vote for “socialists” to transform our government and its institutions and even its laws into weapons for the statists to use against the free and sovereign people of the states.

I do not mourn the end of the “American Age” because it happened long before any of us was born. I look forward to the day we can finally stick a steak in the heart of this tyrannical monster. I have no loyalty to this corruption nor will I pledge allegiance to it. What was good is long gone and all that’s left is toxic to freedom.

For people who want to be free, this doesn’t have to be the end. We ALWAYS have the choice to carve out a home for ourselves and defend it aggressively. We just lack the WILL to do so. At least for now...

Think back about 10 or twenty years ago... What was your “line in the sand”? What did you need to happen before you would fight? Im willing to bet that most of those lines were already crossed. I know mine were... The last one and biggest was when the federal tyranny decided to take over the medical care of this nation and by default proclaim ownership over everyone’s health (meaning.. They finally own YOUR ass).
