How Will It All End?

- Rick Ackerman -

If we can take anything from history it is that for most of recorded human existence, the people lived in a strict hierarchical system with the few wealthy controlling/owning the large numbers of poor serfs. There was minimal middle class and it was composed of bureaucrats working directly for the wealthy and a few itinerant merchants.

It was like that for most of recorded history because it worked.

It would be a fair assumption that the change to modernity came about by the use of fiat currency and its capacity to fund long drawn out wars and conflicts.
The tremendous demand for war stocks provided the masses with the leverage to increase their earnings.
Then they got a bit uppity with their new found wealth and increased their demands for social programs.
All funded with fiat money as there just wasn't enough gold and silver to fund everything without constant re-valuations.
Re-valuations of money tend to spook the herd and result in stampedes.

There are NO black swan events. Only fools that believe they have all the bases covered.
Ergo, a small predictable event will snowball into an avalanche of monetary collapse that everyone will grasp.
Keep in mind that the collapse started long decades ago, but the effects are following an exponential curve.

When the problem starts to become noticeable, the first thing the public will hear from politicians and economists is, "National debt is good for us." These same facilitators will do everything to defeat any movement towards balancing a budget.

Next, inflation that beats up the consumer's paycheck. However the statistics will show minimal inflation and well within the designed parameters.
Pay raises will become a thing of the past.
Household debt will become standard issue.
Savings will vanish.

Then a predictable (after the fact) event will occur.
Cash will become hoarded by the few that have any.
The animals will riot when their EBT and credit cards fail to satisfy purchases.
Bank holiday.
Violence in the cities will require government forces to intervene.
All major lines of communication (supply distribution system) will fail leaving the public and planners will the very predictable results of just-in-time delivery.

Think Arab Spring on a global basis.
The wealthy and politically powerful will use the military to defend their way of life.
Some famous guy said, "History rhymes."

The problem is, was and will always be the same as in our National Parks. "Don't feed the animals. It habituates them."
Homo sapiens, for the most part, can't hunt, gather or grow enough to feed itself.
Charles Darwin popularized the concept of "Survival of the Fittest." Fittest is NOT strongest. Instead it is the anachronistic concept of "most adaptable to a changing environment." Most members of the specie homo sapiens has spent a lifetime becoming a specialist. Oft times a very skilled specialist that once separated from its native environment will fail.

The coming end will stay turbulent for at least one generation and quite probably three or four.
This is based upon the high probability that the animals will destroy infrastructure and what isn't destroyed will succumb to nature due to lack of maintenance. See Detroit and Chernobyl.

Things will return to normal with a strict hierarchical system of control and governance.
He who owns the gold/food/security/distribution system makes the rules.

Either you play ball with the PTB by their rules or get the bat shoved up your ... .
The USA is NOT a democracy. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were written by and for the wealthy to protect their private property rights.
The serfs have NO property beyond self.
And perhaps that was a mistake as well as the right to vote.

Think about it. If a person has no property to protect with their vote, do you really think they will vote to protect yours?
Where do you think the property comes from that gets redistributed?
But then again, most of these animals fail to realize that corporate taxes are paid for by the consumer.
They fail to grasp that their demands for low prices results in off-shoring of manufacturing.
Then they blame greedy corporations for their plight.
Of course they fail to grasp the simple concept that their pension plan depends on corporate profits.

Oh well. The NSA and DoD know where to find me.
Most of the locals fail to appreciate my perspectives. They believe in pink unicorns, flower fairies and things are gonna get better because a talking head says so.
And the local communitarians learned that their passive-aggressive assaults on my intelligence would be met with open ridicule.
Just spend five minutes talking with someone outside your circle of friends and you will see why democracy will be the death of the USA and the world.

Beginning of the headline :How do you see the economic endgame playing out for the U.S. and the world? That’s this week’s discussion topic, and although some in this forum will undoubtedly lean toward the Armageddon scenario, we should always leave room to imagine a far sunnier outcome, such as a Second Great Depression deeper than the Mindanao Trench. I want you to have fun with this one, so set your minds free before you set pen to paper. My own outlook falls somewhere in-between, tempered by the perhaps misplaced hop... Read More
