Economy Kept On Life Support While Global Governance Is Organized

Herbert West: Re-Animator
Winter is slowly melting away here in the U.S., and Spring will soon be upon us. Wall Street is currently flush with delight at the year long run of the stock market (driven by fiat bailouts), which at first glance appears to be doing quite well, though international incidences such as those in Dubai and Greece have revealed how shaky the market actually is in the face of any unhealthy news. In the meantime, the dollar, recently on the edge of detrimental value loss, has made a semi-miraculous recovery in the span of a few months, especially as the Euro suffers. Official employment numbers, despite the continuous loss of jobs monthly, have somehow fallen and are for the moment stabilized. Is it time for America to dust off the old credit cards and return to the wild and rollicking carefree spending days of pre-2007? Perhaps not…
While the mainstream media puts on the recovery song and dance, the fundamental problems of the collapse remain the same, and in some cases are growing ever more precarious. Subsections of the public, unaware of the real issues at hand, are holding a misguided jubilee in the tranquil eye of a hurricane, wrongly assuming that the storm has passed.
The world is breathing a hasty sigh of relief at the beginning of 2010, but what are the facts behind the current “peaceful” economic moment? In this article, we will examine whether or not the good news is legitimate, or, if are we being lulled into a false sense of security…
Job Market Statistics Manipulated
At the beginning of the year, official unemployment stood at around 10%. This number of course does not include those people who are off unemployment benefits and still have not found jobs, or those people who are underemployed. The Labor Department then announced their intention to revise their “birth/death ratio” method of calculating job loss, which would supposedly add a whopping 800,000 lost jobs to their books that were hidden before:
http://money.cnn.com/2010/02/04/news/economy/jobs_outlook/
Directly after this news was released, markets braced for a substantial increase in the unemployment percentage. Yet, by some act of magic, the unemployment percentage fell to 9.7%!
http://www.epi.org/publications/entry/jobs_picture_20100205/
How is this possible? Well, those of us who were hoping for greater Labor Department transparency (including myself) should have known better. With the Labor Department, two-plus-two NEVER equals four…
As the EPI article above indicates, while the government has reportedly changed their dubious “birth/death ratio” method, they also at the same time changed their “home survey” method. This survey is meant to give the Labor Department an overall view of unemployment percentages, but now the government has sharply reduced the number of households they actually survey, making the results more volatile and easier to manipulate. This why even though nearly a million jobless people were added to the unemployment rolls, the government was still able to report a drop in unemployment percentages. Sound like a dirty trick? Yes, it is…
According to the EPI’s estimates, which are probably still conservative, over 11 million jobs would need to be created in order to bring employment rates to pre-2007 levels. This is called the “jobs gap.” To fill the jobs gap by 2013 (which is about the time frame that the government has suggested it would take for a full recovery) the U.S. would need to generate over 400,000 jobs a month for the next three years! As I think most of you can see, this is not going to happen. Last month according to official numbers the U.S. lost another 36,000 jobs. Jobs are not being created, and will not be created anywhere near the 400,000 a month mark required for a three year recovery.
Also not often reported is the span of weeks at which those who are unemployed have to wait until they find another job. This “lag time” in-between jobs has grown markedly higher in recent months as the chart below shows:
In January of this year alone, 6.3 million people (over half of those unemployed) had been without a job for more than 6 months. This is an astonishing number, and it shows just how out of touch MSM reports of recovery are. Anyone who has been unemployed for more than just one month knows how tense and uncertain such a situation makes life. Imagine the misery of a 6 month hiatus from steady work, not able to fully support ones self and not knowing when you’ll be able to again. The Labor Department, nor the media, seems to take the factor of ‘duration’ into account when considering whether employment is actually in recovery. Nor do they take into account the fact that most of the jobs lost over the past two years were high paying and specialized, while most of the scant few jobs created have been low paying service sector positions.
What is most frightening about this information is that it reveals deliberate mishandling of statistics. Instead of being more open about unemployment numbers, the government is moving to hide them further. But why would they escalate secrecy on the economy?
The Day The Dollar Died
Last week, Li Ruogu, chairman of Export-Import Bank of China, a lender tasked with supporting the country’s foreign investments, stated that China would continue to support the dollar and that reports of a break from U.S. treasuries were “absolute nonsense.” Investors in treasuries this week seemed to take the comment as a good sign that the dollar’s place as world reserve currency is assured. However, one might ask why it was suddenly so important for China to comfort treasury markets?
Interestingly, statements of China’s “affection” for the dollar have come right after their central bank decided to dump $34 billion in U.S. treasuries. Along with other nations, the U.S. suffered the worst one month treasury dump on record so far at $53 billion:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Foreigners-cut-Treasury-apf-1402391707.html?x=0
This follows a treasury dump last year by China of $25 billion, after which we predicted that such dumps would occur more frequently and in larger amounts. Apparently, we were right:
http://neithercorp.us/npress/?p=105
http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90780/91421/6734461.html
Initially, it was reported after their latest dumping of U.S. bonds that China had lost its position as the number one investor in U.S. debt, placing Japan in the top spot. Strangely, only days later this report was rescinded after the Treasury released a statement claiming that China did indeed dump $34 billion in bonds, but, they were still the number one investor in T-bills:
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/afp/20100217/tbs-us-economy-finance-bonds-china-japan-ec2362a.html
How is this possible? According to the Treasury, they “forgot” to include Chinese treasury holdings in third markets such as Hong Kong and Britain. This is very strange. Who holds these extra bonds and what are they doing sitting in foreign venues? Is it not convenient that these bonds appeared from thin air just as news of China’s treasury dump was hitting the bond market? And now we suddenly have a Chinese finance official attempting to reassure the world that China still wants T-bonds while at the same time they are trying to get rid of them? If this behavior seems confusing it is because this is what occurs when governments lie big; no matter how good they are at it, they can’t make the facts add up.
If one examines Treasury Auctions month-to-month, they would find that “Primary Buyers” of treasuries (who have to buy treasuries when no one else is buying) now dominate auction sales. Indirect buyers, who cannot be tracked, also make up a large portion of competitive bids on treasury bonds. It is suspected that most of these indirect buys are made by the Federal Reserve itself in order to prop up the dollar. The article below explains the process succinctly:
http://community.nasdaq.com/News/2010-02/Something-Very-Strange-Is-Happening-With-Treasuries.aspx
The bottom line is that foreign governments are NOT buying treasuries at volumes necessary to keep the U.S. afloat amidst its ever climbing national debt, and in some cases, they are now trying to quietly and gradually dump what they have so as to not arouse immediate suspicion from the markets. In fact, the Treasury and the Federal Reserve seem to be helping them do this!
The dollar is, in effect, dead, but disinformation and market manipulation, mainly by the private Federal Reserve, is being used to reanimate it for appearances. The result is the conjuring of a kind of “zombie currency,” a Weekend at Bernie’s currency that the Fed props up with strings and pulleys to fool everyone at the party.
The most obvious question here is, why go through so much trouble to keep the dollar around at all?
World Government And The SDR
Since the “Great Recession” began, economic forums and conferences such as the G20, and the annual World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland have spoken of little else except the formation of a centralized world economy and the establishment of a legal body that has the power to run it. At the Davos “workshops,” economists and others present ideas for world governance as if they were the originators of the concept. It may not be surprising to most of us that there is rarely if ever anyone who participates in the WEF meetings that supports the restoration of national sovereignty. In fact, nearly all the participants seem to assume that a world government is the solution to all our ills. It is also important that like the G20, government officials from all over the world attend, including those from the U.S., and that very often the policies developed at these forums end up in legislation and mass media here at home. Meaning, the laws and propaganda supporting forced globalization and world government are fine tuned at the meetings and then brought to America for mass consumption. Below are a couple video examples of Davos workshops:
It is important to recognize what exactly is being presented in these two videos because they reveal much about our current economic circumstances. The goal of the G20 and the WEF, as they have stated on numerous occasions, is to dissolve national sovereignty. If they had their way, America as we know it would not exist, along with the Constitutional framework that is meant to protect our liberties. To achieve this end, a carefully engineered breakdown of the U.S. dollar is being enacted.
As we have shown, U.S. treasuries auctions have tanked and those long term treasuries already held by foreign nations are being slowly cast off. So far, the Federal Reserve has propped up the dollar by purchasing T-bonds in the place of foreign banks who no longer want them. By continually monetizing this debt, the Fed will inflate an incredible bubble in the treasury market. When will this bubble burst? The key lay in the rules governing Special Drawing Rights.
Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) are securities much like treasury bonds. Their value is determined by a basket of international currencies including the Dollar, the Euro, the Yen, and the Pound Sterling. The IMF claims that SDRs are not technically considered currency, but SDRs serve nearly all the functions of a currency except that they are not available to the general public (yet). It walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, but the IMF would rather not call it a duck. In the end, the SDR is a world reserve currency, and its purpose is to topple the dollar.
Not long after the economic meltdown began, the IMF announced that they would begin the unlimited printing of SDRs. In 2009, within the span of a few months, SDR circulation went from $21 billion, to nearly $204 billion, and this is only the amount they have admitted to:
http://www.imf.org/external/np/fin/tad/extsdr1.aspx
Governments across the world have purchased SDRs, while at the same time dropping U.S. treasuries. China in particular has shown sharp interest in the SDR as a replacement for the U.S. dollar:
It may be prudent to mention that China’s heightened dumping of U.S. treasuries began right around the time that the IMF began mass printing SDRs. And, even more disconcerting, the U.S. Treasury also quintupled its supply of SDRs in August of 2009:
http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/US%20INTL%20RESERVES.jpg
Being that the U.S. dollar is supposedly the undisputed world reserve currency, why would the U.S. Treasury have any need to buy SDRs at all? Would this not be redundant? Unless, the Treasury knows that the dollar will not remain the world reserve currency for much longer….
Now we get to the tricky part…
The IMF has instituted new rules governing the SDR and those countries who trade it (called “member countries”). Drafting the “Fourth Amendment” governing SDR allocation, the IMF now requires member nations to retain a “special allocation” of the currency much higher than previous allocations. Countries who keep their SDR supply above the required level receive interest payment on their excess. Countries that fall below the required level have to PAY interest on the shortfall. That is to say, if the U.S. were to allow its SDR reserves to fall below the level demanded by the IMF, we would be punished monetarily. Also, under current rules, the interest rates of the currencies that make up the SDR help to determine the interest rates of the SDR.
The IMF claims it only acts as an “intermediary” between countries wishing to trade in SDRs, but since the IMF is the creator and printer of SDR’s, this would ultimately make them the controller of the SDR market, not some outside intermediary.
Participation in the SDR market for now is voluntary. However, what we are witnessing here is the subtle positioning of the SDR as the only alternative in the event that the U.S. dollar fails, and once again, China is the key.
China’s Slow Dollar Dive
The argument is constantly made by mainstream economists that China could never drop its large supply of U.S. T-bills because if they tried, the dollar would collapse, virtually erasing the value of their dollar holdings. The suggestion that “they are as dependent on us as we are on them” is rampant in the MSM, but, if we throw in the wild card factor of the SDR, this all changes.
If the Chinese central bank along with certain others amass enough SDRs over an extended period of time while gradually selling off their T-bonds, the SDR’s could act as a cushion to prevent foreign central banks from losing a large portion of their wealth while the dollar sinks. In fact, in the event that the Federal Reserve raises interest rates on the dollar (perhaps in response to the heightened risk of a mass treasury dump) those holding SDR’s actually benefit, because the interest they receive on their SDR reserves will also go up:
http://www.imf.org/external/np/exr/faq/sdrallocfaqs.htm
This would not absorb all of China’s losses in the event of a dollar collapse, but it would be a very effective stop gap, and ample incentive for them to continue dumping treasuries. I believe that this is the exact reason why the dollar and the Dow have been held up by the Federal Reserve for so long. They cannot allow a major dollar depreciation until the SDR is established on the world market as a ready substitute.
A good sign that this process might accelerate would be in the event that China de-pegs the Yuan from the Dollar and allows it to appreciate in value. This would signal that China is moving away from the traditional export arrangement with the U.S. Talks of a Yuan appreciation are already hitting the MSM:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/7386391/China-ready-to-end-dollar-peg.html
Investors in the U.S. will foolishly cheer a rise in the value of the Yuan, thinking that this will increase American exports to China. In reality, China will be preparing to dump the last of its U.S. bonds, and begin exports and imports with the new ASEAN trading bloc:
This new bloc has the potential to surpass profit margins in U.S. markets, especially in the face of extremely weak consumer activity in America. As the U.S. falters under sovereign debt pressure, China will be in prime standing with a ready supply of SDRs and an organized trading bloc to take up the slack of falling exports to the West.
Shock And Awe
The illusion of U.S. recovery seems to be paramount in the plan for Globalist centralization. Every scam imaginable has been fashioned to lure the public into a sense of false comfort. In my original observations on the economic collapse, I believed that we would likely see a “trigger” event in 2010, which would set off a “rolling breakdown” that would not fully climax for a few years. Now, I am not so sure. After examining the facts behind the implementation of SDRs as well as the potentially explosive situation in the treasury market, I believe that a “shock and awe” scenario is becoming more probable. The behavior of the Fed, along with that of the IMF seems to suggest that they are preparing for a focused collapse, peaking within weeks or months instead of years, and the most certain fall of the dollar.
As I think of it now, the advantages of a sudden financial flash flood are numerous. In a drawn out collapse, the Liberty Movement is given a tremendous time advantage, allowing us to double and redouble our membership while the public opinion of the Federal Reserve and the government in general would deteriorate. In a sudden breakdown, our time will be cut short, and the public will be distracted and fearful, desperate for an organized authority to offer any semblance of “order.” A slow collapse allows for the Liberty Movement to work peacefully within the system to build a third party capable of dethroning the current two party farce. A sudden collapse erases all political activity and opens the door to martial law and illegitimate government. And finally, a fast moving meltdown leaves a much stronger psychological impression; a catastrophic waking nightmare, instead of a slow grinding depression. A world government could never be brought about due to the “monotony” of a long slow economic burnout. Too many factors could present themselves in such an extended period that might interfere with the desired end result. Too many variables to calculate. In an abrupt collapse, the Globalists would need only to gage and influence the amount of fear in the populace to a sufficient boiling point then leap in with their intended solution to the problem; centralized global governance.
I feel that in either method, the Central Bankers will fail to reach their ultimate goal, but the prospect of a direct monetary break with limited warning does make the atmosphere much heavier. One can only prepare as much as possible mentally and emotionally, and keep his eyes wide open…
Thank Gio, Great research…Very scary. Better to ‘hope for the best, but prepare for the rest’. We are working on ‘getting ready’ and should be sitting pretty in around 3 months…Hope we have that long… Thanks again, Gio. You are a light in the darkness.
God article, once again. With the MSM solidly supporting the NWO that leaves only the Internet, for now, to carry the message to the people. I hope there remains enough time for the knowing people to reach critical mass and put an end to all this treachery.
Gio, when the collapse comes, would this be a global event with complete lockdown of business and distribution of goods stopped around the world and with the imposition of martial law globally? Or would all of these things start in the states and gradually spread to the rest of the world. Since Canada and Australia are commodity rich countries, would they have a little more buffer time to prepare, once the collapse hits the rest of the world?

Robb, Great Question! Can’t wait to get Gio’s answer.
Woo! Hoo! I was tired of this “Depression Lite” crap anyways! Lets get this game rolling so we can pick up the pieces and put it back together again. (I’m sure Gio is rolling is eyes again about the too-glib NetRanger bravado…)
But, no, seriously folks, lets get this thing collapsed so we can start rebuilding. You can’t build a new house where the old one stands. Pass the gas and matches!
The old one has broken windows, creaky floors, a leaky roof, squeaky doors, drafty corners and a wet basement.
Honestly, I’m not REALLY looking forward to the collapse. What I am looking forward is putting it all back together. THIS TIME so the criminal bastard class cannot screw over the populace.
Hey! I’m triple F!!!
Food: So you can survive.
Fuel: So you can get more food.
Firearms: So you can protect it all.
Robb:
I think the U.S. will be ground zero for the collapse, and its effects will reverberate out to other countries depending on how stable their currency is, how much sovereign debt they have, how much gold they have stockpiled, and how large their reserves of SDRs are.
The fact that our own treasury quintupled its reserves of SDRs shows that they do not have faith in the dollar’s position as world reserve currency. They are likely putting away just enough SDRs so that they can continue operating in a limited capacity during a dollar collapse(having something solid to pay military personnel or private merc firms would be important to them during a breakdown.)
I think China will come out of a dollar collapse as the new industrial center of the world, and if you think about it, this makes perfect sense. China is already locked down, surveilled, the CCP is in the pocket of Global Bankers, and, they have an enormous supply of cheap labor (practically slave labor). They will still be affected, but they have obviously positioned themselves to weather the storm.
Parts of the EU will fall apart. Greece, Spain, Italy will be the big ones, while the UK will be hit hard enough to give them an excuse to lock it down, but not allowed to completely collapse. Germany, France, and Switzerland will probably come out of the collapse at the top of the EU totem pole.
Japan will suffer from severe deflation, which will push them to rely heavily on the ASEAN trading bloc for economic stability.
As for the rest of the world, I don’t know. I would place a hefty bet that those who have already jumped on the SDR bandwagon and stockpiled a large quantity in proportion to their other reserves will retain trade capability while nations that have not will be allowed to evaporate. Since the U.S. is the greatest threat to globalism, we will see the worst of it.
NetRanger:
I’m right there with you as to being super excited about being involved in the rebuilding of a true constitutional republic. However, I wouldn’t get too excited! I honestly don’t think that the population has reached a critical mass of awareness yet. Even though our numbers are growing rapidly there is still a HUGE percentage of the population that is blissfully unaware of anything that is happening on a geopolitical and geoeconomic scale.
I talk to everyone that I can about this kind of stuff just to get an idea of where our population stands, and I must say the numbers–at least in my area–are not so good. However, I attribute much of the general ignorance within my local population to the fact that my area of the country is still relatively unaffected by the effects of our depressed economy. People are definitely tightening their belts, but the true depression has not really begun here as of now.
I feel that if the “plug is pulled” all at once enough people could easily be herded into going along with a bastardized global government in order to make our fight a long and bloody one. I hope this is not the case, and we get some more time to wake people up, but I tend to agree with Gio that we are indeed running out of time. The day of reckoning is nearly upon us. In the words of RATM, “I wish this could be peaceful, but there can be no sequel.”
With banks beginning to warn customers that there might have to be holding periods on withdrawals (http://www.businessinsider.com/citigroup-warns-customers-it-may-refuse-to-allow-withdrawals-2010-2), and the US Treasury buying up SDRs, it appears inevitable that the U.S. dollar is going to be devalued sooner rather than later.
I personally believe that no “for-consumption” level SDR’s will be issued to the public any time soon. Rather, our currency will appear the same, but it will decrease in value 30-50% literally overnight. Our dollar will ultimately still exist, at least for appearance’s sake. However, its value will no longer be self determining, as it will be tied to/backed by the global SDR. I’m getting that 30-50% number from Lindsey Williams, who has made astounding geoeconomic/political predictions in the past–not just taking his word for it, but all the signs seem to point in this direction. Bob Chapman seems to be on board with this prediction as well.
Whatever happens, I’m definitely feeling like we’ll be finding out very soon.
Peace,

Honestly, I think we’re close to critical mass in many areas.
That fact is, unless people are suffering they don’t see the problems. This is why prosperity is many times the enemy of liberty. We tend to get lazy and satisfied. We allow corruption to creep in.
In my area, the unemployment is probably only 7 or 8%. Honestly, I would say its an improvement. The people that aren’t working now are pretty much the dead wood that should have been cut before. They were really “unemployed” before but they were getting paid. When you go spend money places, they treat you like a customer instead of a bother. Businesses have started to care. Workers appreciate their jobs. So far, its all a plus.
Of course there are those that really did work hard and got layed off or that studied hard and graduated and now can’t find a job. But, all this “mess” will make them appreciate it all the more when they finally do land that job.
I’m not sure I agree that a slow grind will make it harder for the NWO to instute its nefarious policies. If its slow enough, people will adapt and deal with it. I think slow grind favors the globalists. I think a medium grind all the way up to a fairly fast collapse. However, a lightning fast collapse, again, favors the globalists. I’m hoping for a another year or two to full collapse. The people can do some adapting yet the criminals will not be able to hide as well. I think that is the optimum.
I get a little too much in a hurry. I get tired of all the whining and crying about this and that. People will whine and cry for a long time before they get the lead out and I think except for the worst parts of the country we’re now moving into the big whine and cry.
Either way, its all piling up behind the dam and I feel like it might break loose before too long if something doesn’t let off a little of the pressure. Between the squeeze their putting on us with the Health Deform they want to force upon us to the lack of economic wisdom, this administration/congress that we’ve got are the most damaging in history. I’m just anxious to see justice be done.
Keep banking that food!
Good points. I guess the best we can really do is keep getting our preps in order and try to wake up as many people as possible in the meantime. Maybe if we wake up enough we can avert a total disaster and reclaim our country peacefully. I am rather doubtful of this though, as I can not see the globalists going quietly into the night if they totally lose control of the info war (very close to this already). Some massive terrorist event will be staged, or the chair will get pulled out from under the economy as a last ditch effort to implement their plan–probably both at the same time.
Gio,
I wonder if you would consider creating an article that speculates on steps we can take if the nwo succeeds and becomes reality. Your previous article delved into possibilities of action for a nwo failure, a ‘picking up the pieces’ so to speak, but I am curious as to how we would choose to go on and live our truth in the face of a nwo success.
In listening to Mr Sinclair’s interviews on Kingworldnews, I have noted him saying several times that though he does not support the process and the goal, he is nearly certain that these things will come to pass…a single world currency, with a central bank of central banks.
Regardless of if the elites succeed in creating their virtual prison, we need strategies viable for our own evolution and survival. It’s clear none of us will submit to economic, mental, or physical slavery, yet we may need to broaden our strategy in the event of an elitist advance. Remember Russia burning down their own cities to starve the advancing Germans in the Russian winter.
Just curious……
As always, thank you and keep up the good work. Your research and presentation are outstanding.
Peace.
morphwithme:
I could write an article that might parallel that situation in a way, but honestly, it is impossible for me to imagine living in a future in which the NWO succeeds. If it comes to bare-knuckled brutality, I see no other option but to fight. Not to sound melodramatic, but I’ll die before I let them win.
In my view, no future is written in stone. No obstacle is insurmountable. No enemy is invincible. But, one must become immovable, not just physically, but psychologically and spiritually.
This may be the greatest challenge each of us faces in our lives; to refuse to compromise the truth, even if it means paying the dearest price. It takes an unbreakable will to make such a choice. FAR more will than it takes to do evil. With such a will on our side, we would not need to consider how to survive in the NWO. The elites wouldn’t stand a chance.
Thanks for the excellent article gio. It’s all frighteningly plausible, I’m afraid, given the evidence. Here’s an article in today’s Marketwatch about the yuan.
China may allow yuan to rise by mid-April, strategists say

Giordano,
I honor your commitment. I value your choice and courage. What I am moving towards is a tactic used by Judo, being “when the enemy pushes, you pull, when the enemy pulls, you push”. Clearly the elites are trying to push (read: “ram down the throat”) the nwo into quasi-legal existence. With the foundation being the will you have spoken of, the refusal to allow them to ‘win’, I am sensing a situation where we can come together to ‘pull’ in response to the elitist ‘push’, ala a Judo response.
I am merely attempting to stretch my mental boundaries. What impresses me most about martial artists is their adaptability to situations and their flexibility in battle. We share a similar goal, the return of local sovereignty and integrity outside of the realm of political hacks and meddlers. What I am encouraging here is a conscious flexibility, so that our ‘will’ is not defeated in the event of tangible successes towards the nwo.
Thanks for the discussion.
Wikity,
There are problems pulling the chair out from under the economy and FFOs (False Flag Ops).
First, people have to suffer and be willing to submit to the globalists help. If people are in too much pain (or not enough), this can cause create suspicion problems.
If they are in too much pain there will be widespread anger and a “who is responsible for this?” witch hunt. In the pre-internet days, sure, the info could be controlled and the NationScrew media would point in this direction and the populace would follow. The internet has forever caused people to be a little more independent. Maybe not the majority but enough of a suspicion seed minority to make a difference.
If they are not in enough pain, the compensate and the globalists’ solutions look suspicious. We’re seeing this with healthcare now. They’ve screwed the system and people know it and now they’re trying to screw it even more under the auspices of fixing it and people aren’t buying it. The didn’t let it go long enough. In another five years of their backroom deals of screwing up healthcare and they would have had a populace the would have jumped at a single fucker, Uh, Oh my! Uh, PAYER option. Globalists are too impatient.
So, the problem is that they don’t know just how fast to push it and they tend to be conformists themselves in many ways so they don’t understand the independent people such as Gio, you and myself. They can’t factor that in.
In order for the globalists to get collapse to work, it has to be in a certain range. That range is hard to maintain.
In the case of an FFO, The Truthers have advertised that enough. The Americans will never fall for shit again. They’ve shot their wad there are no more supplies to reload! I’m a closet truther as many, many people are. Closet truthers see that there are “problems” with the official story line. Many of us are out here. Much like the Birthers (of which I am one, no closet required) we see that there are big problems with what we are being fed. Nope. FFOs have less effect.
I think it would take a level of finesse beyond the ham fisted globalists intellect to create both the proper collapse speed and/or FFO to get it to happen. Like Gio, these guys are all washed up.
Their biggest problems are guys like Gio and myself. We have big mouths and we’re always shooting them off. Also, many of us are starting to get out of the system. In two years, I plan for my grocery bill to be pretty low if not non-existent. Same with power. I’m gearing up for solar. Guys like us piss off the globalists. We’re not dependent on their regulations or their pricing or they limits on availability. The only way they can do it is to force us. Too bad! We have a second amendment and we know how to use it!
So, there you have it. The fact is, the globalists are trying to thread a very small needle with a very small thread while wearing oven mits. It can be done but its not very likely.
I feel that the attempt to institute world government is so complex that no matter what they do, they will fail. We do have to remember though that we are dealing with psychopaths and men with god-complexes. They are devious, but not necessarily “wise”. I think they believe that their plan will be a slam-dunk. I think they may even believe it is their “destiny” to control the planet. So, even if their goal defies all reason and nature, they won’t blink for a second.
This is why I am now leaning towards a sudden full collapse, rather than a long series of smaller events that eventually lead to full collapse.
For one, this is what the treasury markets so far indicate will happen.
Two, the longer they wait, the stronger we get. I think they realize this, especially now that they are failing horribly in the information war.
To use an analogy; in chess, some opponents will appear weak when they begin, but given enough time, they build towards an incredibly effective attack (like the Liberty Movement is doing). The only way to stop such an opponent, in my experience, is to strike quickly while he is still preparing, and throw him off track. I believe this is the NWO’s only chance of success,and even then,I don’t think it will work.
I certainly hope I’m wrong. A drawn out breakdown of the Dollar would be far more ideal in that we would be given even more time to wake people up, all while live action evidence of our arguments plays out in the day-to-day economy.
Your call to action is inspiring…

A sudden collapse would fit the pattern that has been used time and time again by the banking establishment in unholy alliance with the IMF to take over the economies of other countries and institute radical “reforms.”
Naomi Klein has written a best selling book which exhaustively documents the process – “The Shock Doctrine.”
The Shock Doctrine relies on the principle that when you throw an individual, or a nation, into a state of catastrophe for which it is totally unprepared, if you have a program ready to roll out, you can do so without encountering any resistance. A corollary is that any resistance you encounter can be easily removed – and executed or imprisoned.
The book is quite illuminating.

You’d better have another look at the Executive Orders that will certainly come into effect when the system comes down. “Your” food, fuel, and firearms are no longer yours in any meaningful sense. The government can take them and can take you and put you to work as unpaid civilian labor. As a matter of fact if you are found to have food or fuel stashed away you’re likely to be accused of “hoarding,” not an insignificant crime in a collapsed economy where the government has seized everyone else’s goods. And firearms? Don’t even go there.
Humans as livestock, its true just watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMdw24f0XmA&feature=player_embedded
Do you still pledge allegiance to the farm ? watch the video and ask yourself.
Maybe this will help make the danger of fiat money clear.
Imagine you and me are setting across from each other. We create enough money to represent all of the world’s wealth. Each one of us has one SUPER Dollar in front of him.
You own half of everything and so do I.
I’m the government though. I get bribed into creating a Central Bank.
You’re not doing what I want you to be doing so I print up myself eight more SUPER Dollars to manipulate you with.
All of a sudden your SUPER Dollar only represents one tenth of the wealth of the world!
That isn’t the only thing though. You need to get busy and get to work because YOU’VE BEEN STIFFED with the bill for the money I PRINTED UP to get YOU TO DO what I WANTED.
That to me represents what has been happening to the economy, and us, and why so many of our occupations just can’t keep up with the fake money presses.
They have been beating us with our own stick!!!!1
What will happen to gold and silver?
“You’d better have another look at the Executive Orders…”
Dear Defeatist Shill,
You better go look at what an executive order really is. It is not law, nor does it even have the color of law. The president is not king. Heck, this president isn’t really even president! (My birther side is peaking out!) The Constitution won’t stand for it and I won’t either. Anti-Constitutional EOs are nothing but rubbish. Nobody will follow that crap. Nor will they declare “Martial Law”. The sheople may think that but I know better. In my state military power, by constitutional proclamation, must be kept in strict subordination to civil authority. Martial law just got repealed.
Your cowardly “we’re already screwed” attitude is one reason Gio and I have so many problems getting people to take action on this. Why do you and your fellow defeatists continue whining? You’re already screwed. With an attitude of defeatism, you’re already playing into their hands. Stay in your sheople pasture and keep eating that green government issue grass.
I’ve got enough land and enough skill to use it to feed the whole neighborhood and I’ve got the armament to protect it. You defeatist shills are not welcome.
Frankly, you sound like the moron in Aliens that kept saying, “Thats it man! Game over! Gaaaammmme over!” Its not game over its not even game begin yet.
…which reminds me. I’ve got some new neighbors that I need to recruit. It starts with, “Hey! If you ever need anything, just let me know.”
Don’t start flying the white flag before the first can of food is confiscated. That would be something worse than idiotic.
[...] dollar will not remain the world reserve currency for much longer
The traitors and their foreign allies will use it all to get their way. Cause, earthquakes and floods. Pestilence and plagues. Assassinations of leaders and anything to cause general chaos and foment hate between us. Seems like we could spend our tax money more wisely.
Thank you for the indepth analysis; the SDR info certainly points to a sudden collapse. I’ve believed that would happen but thought it would come from a false flag terror attack on our homeland.
I have to admit, I’m anxious for it to happen already but must warn you that imho we will not recover. We will see a NWO – a global government. This was prophecied in the Bible in the book of Daniel and Revelation. Please get right with Jesus before you can no longer do so. There will be a king of the world who will declare himself to be God. We are nearing the culmination of God’s plan for this world. Yes, you’ve heard in before – The End Is Near. Seek salvation while there is time.
Excellent analysis, Mr. Bruno. There’s an unmarked black van waiting for you in your driveway.
Lester:
lol! I’m not big enough to be bothered with. They’ll just send a few disinfo-trolls to make crazy comments like they usually do. I’ll sniff them out and kick them off and we’ll start the whole process over again the next day. I’m sure I’m on a list somewhere, just not very high up on it.
Uhhhh. Wow. While I tend to share the notion that our world leaders are attempting to change our system of society whether we like it or not. I tend to walk the middle road in thinking they probably don’t want to destroy civil human society either. As a species, we have come to far for that. It would rattle our elitists false notions of gleaming empire builders. It would assault their sense of standing in a historical context. I am not a birther, because I can accept a black President who happens to look like a pretty good man and good husband and father for that matter. M
My advice would be to clear your head and plan. Planning for the worst is the first thing you should do. Get land or access to land. Buy organic seeds. Identify a safe community you can be a part of just in case. Humans survive in communities best. Stock up on tangible items. Gold wouldn’t be the first on that list. If it gets that bad, water is what you should worry about. Hell, in a world in such a catastrophe as some here put it. I would rather have powdered cool-aid powder rather than a ounce of gold. Watch movies with the post-apocalyptic themes to them. What is usually most valued. Fuel, food, oil, defense, community, dvd player, radio, books, food spices, communication devices and of course the most valuable asset to have “hope”. We will collapse if we are apart. Race is irrelevent, only culture should matter. We as Americans can survive together. Apart, forget it, it’s over.

Hi Rick,
Great advice – we’ve been ‘preparing’ for a while now.
I’m sure there are people out there who are against Obama simply because he’s black – BUT – I have never read anything on this site to indicate any racism here. The ‘birthers’ simply want to see an actual birth certificate – which has been required for all other presidents/candidates…until now.
The question remains – where is it? Not the certificate that would not satisfy Motor V – the actual certificate with the official seal.
I am not a ‘birther’ but I do understand their frustration. I am far more interested in his ‘friends’ and ‘czars’. Again, thanks Rick for the Great advice with preparations. Have a Great Day
Gio,
Well done, I have been following the whole “finiancial” situation as well, but my other concern is Peak Oil. I recently viewed “A Crude Awakening” and the willingness of our gov’t to hide the truth, knows no bounds. I worry for the future fpr my kids, so I have been prepping for about 3 years, and have a pretty good setup. I would reccomend to anyone serious about preparedness to go to survivalblog.com for great common man insight to practical preperation. I belive we are anywhere from 18 to 36 months from the whole house of cards falling in. My Advice to all: get out of debt, stockpile longterm food, learn how to grow, raise and store “stuff”, learn the proper means,and have the tools to defend your family..(GUNS, KNIFES, and a lot of AMMO)I for one will not go quietly ino the night… God Bless everyone, Good Luck, Gio..Keep up the good work.

I was trying to comment on this vidos at the youtube side ;-) this Cowards do not even allow to comment as they Know Peoble are waking up world wide!
Gio, another great article. I’d like to encourage all your readers to study up on the tenth ammendment and nullification. Let’s get the guards back under state control and decentralize everything as quickly as possible as an antidote to globalism.
Unfortunately the USA is a nation of sheep. They will go along with whatever their TV sets tell them. Damn the truth because the lies are much easier to accept.
The world is full of intellectual cowards and flouride ridden zombies.
Gio:
What should we do with our US$. What should we invest in? Brazilian stocks? Commodities (oil – copper – silver) Land? Gold? Yuan? German Euros bonds?
Hernando:
There are a lot of things you can do to protect your savings during an inflationary collapse. But first, and most important, is to protect yourself and your family from harm. I wrote a recent article on the subject of survival which you can read here:
http://neithercorp.us/npress/?p=228
After you have sufficient food, water, and protection, I would look into Precious Metals. If you have considerable savings, I would invest in gold. If you have smaller savings, look into silver. A mix of both would be best if possible. Also, any currency who’s nation has avoided major inflation and debt. Australia seems to have a pretty sturdy currency for instance, though some might debate that ALL currencies are a bad investment. I think it depends on your particular circumstances. Land heavy with resources such as timber, water, game, rich topsoil, minerals, etc, would be highly sought after post-collapse, you just have to be able to hang onto it.
“Land heavy with resources such as timber, water, game, rich topsoil, minerals, etc, would be highly sought after post-collapse, you just have to be able to hang onto it.”
…and low taxes. This is how they will steal America from the Americans: property taxes. Unconstitutional, I might add, but another “trick” up their sleeves.
Hmmm. Kinda sounds like my place!

As an American overseas since 1995. I am not surprised by the ‘group’ ganging up on us. We have constantly upset the traditional way of controling the masses since George Washington did not become a king as predicted. With the election of Obama (regardless of his politcs) has really scared ‘the man in the street’ grasping for a traditional and predictable life, that anything is possible. Over my years away, I have seen and heard every possible bad story you can imagine about the USA over these years. Especially from those people who have too much fear to venture thinking outside of the box. Since we have had a child, it is clear where these fears of change have been planted. Besides the school system, starting at age 3,
even strangers in the street try to take a pacifier out of your kids mouth or tell a dad not to carry his child, since ‘they are too old’. But these same people want them to watch the nightly news from day one!!!
Other indicators abound: DVD sales at the news stands, only 2 dollars, are all 90% gangster, horror, bad family dramas, anything that shows the dark side of a freee society. Once I married in a foriegn country, freinds and family came out of the wood work with scare stories to prevent us from leaving….worked.
My question is: How did my wife know about the ecconomic crisis before anyone else in my highly informed USA family? Maybe a clue is: I only found out recently (after about 9 years) that many from both sides of her family were members of the STB (this countries version of KGB). Then she moved quickly to work for the Presidency of the EU. At such a young age, a car with a chauffer is a surprise to me.
Maybe the old ways are just being perfected, but really can not be fully implimented without removing the hope(USA and free market). Someone maybe learning from their mistakes.
“Ok, so they want jeans from the West, let them have them. Turn those dreams into a nightmare. Then they will be back for the false comfort of an ordered system.”
I know it won’t work, but maybe this is the basic big picture, since I am still surprised how easily the Chinese got into capitalism. Although the screen play had to keep a few bad guys like North Korea+
Love endures all things.
I have the impression that Freedom is being shown as something that you would not give to those you love….twisted, but then scared people are easier to persuade.
The Confident (not arrogant) American spirit, will endure this ordeal, just as it has all before.
I think we just need to know what is the correct way to go about it. And how to re-ignite the spirit of greats like Teddy Roosevelt, Lincoln, Jefferson, ect..
Another possibility is that the US will provoke an attack doing a “great deed” of protecting the peoples interest by attacking Iran. If we attack, per Ron Paul, who would have some knowledge it is game over.I think this is more likely than a false flag. Only time will tell. — John
http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/world-news/final-destination-iran-1.1013151
Yes, there will be war with Iran. Under this system the new wars will never end. Obama is a good little puppet–goes along with the agenda no questions asks–reading off that teleprompter just like he’s told. The globalists don’t want to take a chance of letting a rogue president get into office. I think they might have been a little worried at first. From what I’ve heard, inner circles of the elite would have been much happier with McCain. They knew the old timer would be a seamless integration with the degradation campaign of the Bush and Clinton years, but it seems now that just the same they got their “yes man” with Obama. Obama know what’s at stake here and I’m pretty sure he’s more worried about getting Kennedied than he is about the sovereignty of the United States. After all, what does Obama care about sovereignty anyways, the guy isn’t even a U.S. citizen. The elites would much rather have another 4 years with the same puppet than to have to worry about attaching strings to a new puppet.
Events will be staged and Obama will lead us to war with Iran towards the end of his first term. The old propaganda machine will be rolled out, warning the American population about the dangers of changing executive leadership during the initial phases of a new war.
Mind you, this will be when the next phase of the economic collapse is in full swing and many people will be so occupied with their own survival that they will care little for what new wars the government is starting.
WELL WIKITY,
You may very well be onto something. I forgot to mention all the war movies: distant past, recent past, present and future; which are on sale cheap everywhere.
Camouflage seems in fashion across the EU.
It also appears from the latest USA movies being promoted that 40% of our film industry in only producing another war story.
Seems this is our main contribution to the world, and what we want to brag about.
Just a simple view from overseas in ‘post’communism…
Good news is, most of the young people see the whole war hype as a joke, like many of us did concerning MADD toward the end of the cold war….The whole MADD plan was a huge expense for what?
Then the defense Department lost all the financial records?
HHMMM?
I love Wishgranted’s attitude.
Love endures all things. We cannot be afraid because that is what they want from us–fear. Over the last 8 months or so, I have been training myself not to be afraid. When I feel it creeping over me, threatening to overwhelm me, I tell myself to let the fear go. There is so much in our world to be afraid of–so this is very hard, but in time, I’ve managed to stop myself from being scared of everything. I never realized how much of my life I have spent being afraid until I began training myself not to be afraid.
Letting go of the fear they want you to live in is liberating. I am certain that I will fight to the end for what I believe in and not give into their freakshow of a future they have planned for us. I will resist!
Because if the ultimate goal of these psychopaths is to have total control, they will not succeed with me. They can kill my body, but they will never kill my soul. Going along with them is a kind of death, so I’d much rather die fighting if the end result is death anyway.
I am not afraid of them. They can bring it on because I am ready.

Hi Karen,
I agree that fear can be overwhelming. I have not been afraid for almost 20 years… because I have practiced emergency – now everyday – preparedness. I believe that a person can only do what they can do/have control of. Being prepared physically, emotionaly, and spirtualy has really helped me so much. Emergency preparedness and God have been the answer for me. I’m glad you have found the answer to yours. Have a Great Day
My appologies if I didn’t tie-in the big picture with the experts technically indepth research, And many others correct annalysis of related attempts to challenge America.
Please let me try to connect the ideals with logical research:
Karen embodies the true spirit of being an American.
NetRanger has got the can do attitude that we all expect for our country.
Gio seems to be getting us ready for, what the Rangers Call, ‘the Jedi mind Fxxk.”
Which is a mental test that sometimes ‘forces’ even those elite soldiers to just give up.
Simple example would be a 10 mile road march, saying the barracks are the finish line. BUT the route would not be as it was supposed to be. Information would be questionable. Many strange obsticles you can’t go around. When you get within sight of the barracks(home), they say ‘plans changed and we have another 2 miles to go.’
The actual finish was only 200 yards around the corner, but only those ‘motivated’ enough make it.
I think Gio is trying to prepare people for a ‘Jedi mind Fxxk.’
Karen is re-affirming we will make it along the route.
NetRanger is ready for whatever obsticles to overcome, instead of worrying about them before hand.
And Love is the only ‘motivation’ that will consistantly endure endless mis-information (unfair statistics), overcome continuous obsticles(drastic lifestyle change), and carry-on thru unbelievable ‘Jedi mind Fxxks’.
Since the American spirit is so filled with Love of family, freedom, liberty and justice, etc.; we should be prepared for a formadible challenge.
The ‘downfall’ of communism has given many the information of how they were able to suppress so many people, for such a long time.
Living overseas, it seems people know they can overcome fear, but have given up trying to fight with the machine that produces fear.
Especially since it has been ingrained from a very young age.
So the question then becomes what to focus on? The goal, the process or the spirit?
This is by no means a religious question, but maybe an answer to all those who ask: ‘what happened to the America I grew up in, when life was simpler?’
I think the focus shifted from Love of American ideals to Fear of everything.
This is some very astute analysis that ties a lot of it together for me.
I was recently playing around with the IMF’s COFER data ( http://www.imf.org/external/np/sta/cofer/eng/index.htm ) And spotted something in the “Unallocated Reserves”. According to the IMF’s website: “The Unallocated Reserves line captures the difference between the total reserves data reported to IFS (for the world table on Foreign Exchange) and to COFER, for each of the country groupings mentioned above. It consists of two components:
The total reserves of nonreporting countries, i.e., the countries within each grouping, which do not report currency composition data to COFER, and
any discrepancy between reporters’ data on total reserves as reported to COFER and to IFS.
The Allocated Reserves line equals the reporters’ data on total reserves as reported to COFER.
Very little estimation is used in producing the COFER tables. Estimation is undertaken only for data gaps of four quarters or less.
”
The problem is that the following accounting identity does not hold:
Total Unallocated Reserves = Unallocated Reserves (Developed Nations + Unallocated Reserves (Developing Nations). 1+1 does not equal 2 with this one.
I have posted one graph here:
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y15/stellaartois/sdrs.jpg
If the identity holds, the two lines should be the same, but we see an ever-increasing difference. I call this “shadow reserves”.
The only thing I suspected at the time of reviewing this data was that China is not reporting a large chunk of data, something you also suggest here.
I have my ad-hoc spreadsheet with some graphs if you want to take a look. It shows that most of the reserve growth is happening in “shadow reserves”, not euros or US Dollars.
This graph has a lot going on, but it shows that the reserve growth is driven by shadow reserves (black line)
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y15/stellaartois/shadowreserves.jpg
Claims in US dollars are declining, the euro is holding steady, but something funny is happening with the other three lines. We see the green line (Total Unallocated Reserves) increasing, but the sum of its two sub-components for Developing and Developed nations (blue line) is also holding steady.
Thus, the “unreported reserves” (black line)component is the only thing increasing its share of global reserves.
Yes, you guys are completely correct that much of America undergone a fundamental shift in our perception of the world. This didn’t happen overnight though. Americans have been propagandized into thinking that everyone/everything is out to get them. All the while we have been force-fed massive dependence on government, and the mainstream media never discuss the one group who REALLY is out to get us. It’s all swine flu, all Al-Qaeda, all the time. Next year it will be the fish flu and space aliens.
Anyone who’s studied world history knows that giving up freedom for liberty for security leaves people with neither. Of course, this is why our founding fathers were so passionate about the concepts of personal liberty and rugged individualism.
I would prefer to live totally free from oppression by my own government and be accept the risks associated with Al-Qaeda and the boogieman.
Let’s not forget that if our political and business elite lived by those American ideals WishGranted mentioned, we wouldn’t have to worry about Al-Qaeda in the first place.
There’s something else I’d like to mention. Up until about a year and a half ago, I was one of the “asleep sheeple” that so many people disparage. I was alive but I truly believed in the goodness of our government(and in people and the world in general)–that they would not lie to us, that our welfare would always be utmost in their minds because I had grown up in a religion where I was told to believe in the goodness of everyone. I didn’t question anything. I look back and see that I was completely brainwashed. That’s difficult to admit because it feels like a failure on my part–and it was.
And then one day I something about Jesus’s birthday not being on December 25 (I was raised from birth a Catholic–went to Catholic schools all my life etc), and when I read that statement about the birthday of Jesus being wrong, I had to catch my breath because I couldn’t believe that anyone would say such a thing! I couldn’t believe it. But there was a whole long comment section about it and I took the time to read through it and while I was reading, I was thinking in my head that maybe I needed to look further and do some research on my own because those people were calling Catholics a bunch of phoneys and I needed to know if what they were saying was true.
So I did the work and read everything I could get my hands on. I kept my mind open to listening to everything so that I could sift through everything to try to get at the truth–because I truly believe that the truth ultimately wins out–even when you have been raised in nothing but lies and losing those lies feels like a great loss because that’s all you know. It’s what you’ve based your entire life on. And in time, with lots of work, I did find the truth and that led me to looking at everything differently and questioning everything and learning that the world is not the nice place I’d like it to be.
I am in my 40′s, so I’ve spent a long time being a “sheeple.” I guess what I want to say is that it’s possible to change those people who you might deem unchangeable and asleep because I’ve woken up and am proof. And we should be kind to those people because I think we can all agree that we’ve been terribly led astray and it’s ingrained in our being to place our trust in persons outside of ourselves. We are trained to give our power away to someone else.
You have to be open to the truth, though. You must have the truth inside you to find the truth. And when anyone tells me that I cannot question my government or religion or anything for that matter, I now know that they aren’t people I need in my life anymore because they aren’t interested in the truth if they’re too busy trying to silence me.
Responsibility people. You are responsible for your own interpretation of reality, always. Let us avoid paranoia. There really is no one ‘out to get you’. As Bob Dylan said so beautifully in one of his epic songs “there’s no one to beat you, no one to defeat you, xcept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad.”
Think on that folks, and let’s do as Neo did when he finally ‘woke up’….shake it all off and move forward.
The Jedi mind trick works both ways.
Peace.
AGWB:
That is some very curious data. I’m wondering if the “unreported reserves” could be the growing supply of SDRs…?
Also, I’m sure everyone has noticed the abruptly severe push by our government over Yuan appreciation. Since China has obviously been preparing to de-peg the Yuan from the Dollar completely for the past 2 years anyway, its rather convenient that OUR government is now DEMANDING that they do so, lol! It would make it look as though a Chinese T-bond dump is retaliation against tariffs instead of something they had been planning on doing all along because of the imploding greenback.
I’m having trouble imagining the repercussions of such a scenario. It could even lead to war….
Hey Giordano,
Here is an article explaining the de-peg effects. It will be a much harder transition for the US then China. —-John
http://www.businessinsider.com/heres-what-yuan-revaluation-is-all-about-and-yes-this-will-trigger-a-real-trade-war-2010-3
Look up “Unrestricted Warfare” and things will make even more sense.
Krugman highlights the shift from US external debt to financing it internally:
http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/15/chinas-water-pistol/#postComment
But he neglects to mention that all that cash on hand is coming from companies laying people off and racking up huge cash surpluses as they throttle back. With nothing to spend it on, they buy up US securities. This is a huge part of the story, but Krugman dismisses it as a potential issue.
What he seems to neglect is the opportunity cost of internal government debt, and that’s money that would otherwise be spent on capital investments in the economy. The opportunity cost of internal financing is a lower capital stock, and hence slower growth going forward.
So, The US is not as dependent on foreign buyers, and thus we need not to worry, he claims. China can sell all it wants, and the US won’t feel it because they can finance their debt internally.
Peter Schiff was on Youtube ranting about Krugman’s position recently, and he took on the arguement that China would not liquidate its reserves, because to do so would be to shoot itself in the foot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11WlFlO_mDg
If China liquidates and loses a few hundred billion in value, what kind of damage would that do to the US, where ALL assets are valued in US Dollars? What if China can unseat the US as a hegemonic currency for the cost of a trillion dollars? From a benefit-cost perspective, it might make sense for them to do this.
Keep in mind also that China has revealed aspirations to become the global hegemonic power:
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6200P620100301
Moreover, China also wants its currency to be included in the SDRs by 2015:
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTOE62501P20100306?type=usDollarRpt
We might not see a dollar crash scenario, but rather a controlled demolition of the dollar. If the US can finance its debts internally, then China can quietly and slowly liquidate its treasury assets.
Patriots…
I’m finding them everywhere! Can-do patriots many of whom have stored something more important than food: an attitude. They live and work and I often insult them calling them “Sheople”. While there are sheople out there, many have much more vitality and patriotism than you know. When the provocation arises, they will shut off American Idle or the ball game and they will do what it takes. Vote. Call. E-mail. Grow food. Whatever.
Thanks to all on here who recognize that America is not down and out. Oh, we’ve got problems, but when faced with adversity, we will over come. Some say that America is gone and dead. They’re ready to close the casket. I am not! …and I know many who are not!
For decades we’ve watched as Washington and even the states slowly encroach upon a people asleep. The people are waking up and the perpetrators should probably pack their bags and get their plane tickets read and their gas tanks full.
We will have our revolution. It will start in November of this year. If that doesn’t work, there will be a skirmish here and there and we’ll try again in November 2012. If that doesn’t work, well, we’ll have to do it the Thomas Jefferson way, as unpopular as that may sound, the founders knew it would happen eventually.
I salute the founders to be the original Green Party: Not wanting to pollute, they wrote documents that would be used over and over and over. The Declaration of Independence is just as relative today as it was the day it was written. I encourage everyone to go read it in full.
Honestly, I think that is where my attitude is drawn from. Sure, I’m a capable guy that meet challenges head on, but it wasn’t until 10 years ago that I awoke from my slumber. I read the Declaration of Independence. Then I read The Constitution. When I read these things, its difficult for me to have dry eyes. These men, these giants, wrote this as much for us as for anyone. What they wrote was real. It is empowering.
Giordano writes very effective and creates well researched articles. I read them and they have this subtle tone: Don’t give up! Don’t give in! His articles all have the undertow, the smattering of the Declaration of Independence.
It is all based on what Karen says, that they can kill your body but they cannot kill your soul. (I would add to that, “if you won’t let them.”) I believe that many of the programs today, essentially, put the soul to sleep and therefore the conscience also.
We’ve all been sheople for way to long at some point in our lives. I’ll have to admit, while I wasn’t fully asleep, I was half asleep, raised by a family that was only half asleep that was disgusted by people like Karen that were fully asleep. Its even harder to wake up when you dream that you are awake!!! I would guess that more damage is done by the ones that are half asleep. They think they are doing the correct thing. But, they still believe half-truths and those are the most dangerous ones. Then, many of us realized, we were nearly as bad. We bought the “half asleep” lie, its called “Republican Party”. We were really just as asleep but too proud to admit it.
Wake up everyone! See our governments for what they are. Question everything… I defer to one of the founders:
“Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because if there be one he must approve of the homage of reason more than that of blindfolded fear.”
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 10, 1787
only 1 person mentioned…..ITS IN THE BIBLE AS FAR BACK AS DANIELS TIME…ONE WORRLD GOVERNANCE,HYPERINFLATION,WARS,UNCOMMONLY DEVASTATING NATURAL DISASTERS..SUPERNATURAL ACTIVITIES
tired of hearing about the founding Mason a** fathers..who designed more pagan stuff into our culture & foundation than satan himself…and LIBERTY???..this country was founded with LEGAL SLAVERY..they had slaves guys…LIBERTY & Equality for ALL…except the blacks,the jews, the native people & anyone else who doesnt look like us & is rich…so tired of this founding fathers crap & constitution crap..they respect it more than the BIBLE…ridiculous
Hi Render Caesar,
The Founding Fathers did have slaves – as did every other country/society on the planet – including Africa. (look into the Ashanti tribe). Slavery has been around for, at least, 5 thousand years. Unfortunately, it is still going on today – in Africa, the Middle east, and some parts of Asia. In fact, there have been busts in our country in recent years re: sex slavery. The Middle East was advocating slavery well into the 20th century.
Of course, Ben Franklin started the first anti-slavery movement in this country, and Jefferson resolved to free his slaves. Many of the Founding Fathers were attempting to include ‘the slaves’ into the Constitution but the Southern States held firm with their refusal.
It is hard for us today to understand how anyone could use/abuse another person so… but Everything is Individual Perception. Have a Great Day
AWGB:
Peter Schiff nails it once again in that video! He stays away from the main motivation behind the Fed, which is to end the dollar and support world government, but on the rest he is dead on.
Krugman just rehashes the same old propaganda on the dollar and China. I’m actually getting sick of hearing this crap. Its funny how we release articles preempting the mainstream arguments on the economy and yet they just barrel forward, hoping not enough people will be exposed to this info before its too late.
There is no way that the Fed has the capability to drag out low interest rates for another year, let alone several years as Krugman suggests. Foreign creditors are not going to sit back and watch us hyperinflate our currency, for one. They would dump treasuries in a heartbeat, especially if they hold gold reserves and SDRs. Most importantly, what Krugman doesn’t mention is that the value of the dollar is totally dependent on its status as the “World Reserve Currency”. All China has to do is stop using it as a trade reserve. The value of the dollar would plummet on the world market. Krugman seems to think that we could just internalize all this and support our economy through production, but our production capacity is almost NONEXISTENT!
Talk about a catastrophic catch-22!
Any major drop in U.S. investment from foreign nations will mean the quick devaluation of our dollar. The Fed will have to print money from thin air to support our enormous deficit spending, which will achieve nothing except eventual hyperinflation. Who will then accept U.S. dollars in payment on our debts? NO ONE! Which will result in the default of our national debt by the Treasury. In short, the U.S. will have a worthless currency and meet with official bankruptcy.
Just in case there are newbies or anyone who still doesn’t understand that the Banking Elite are slowly draining our life blood through currency and investment manipulation, check out what one person was able to do with no Government backing, http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/03/manipulated-stock-prices/
Now imagine BoA, Citi, GS, JP Morgan doing the same, only adding six or more 0’s to the figures and all with the blessing of the US Federal Government. And don’t get me wrong, I have absolutely no adversity to someone who profits from their own hard work and actually produces something, but these elites that continue to profit from others hard work and produce nothing are really starting to pi** me off. Net Ranger, may we meet and fight side by side on the same battlefield in this lifetime!
GOOD ANSWER Morph! Percetion is King. ‘Unplug’ from the Matrix. Yet how to go about the task?
Let us be respectful of the ‘New Math’ rules:
We are now free use as many steps as we need to reach the correct answer when doing higher math.
Some of you may remember the days when following the acceptable steps to reach the final answer, was more important than the answer.
Thank God, they finally realized that there is more than one way to reach the answer. Some people of higher logic, even have to work from the answer backwards to find out what steps were needed.
Neo was absolutely right, thank you Morph, but let us remember he was one of the few who got the big picture.
Let us be respectful that other people are still working on the equation, using their logical steps.
I am hoping to point out that Love is the motivator to keep going no matter what the professors say, or how many steps it takes.
I salute all those adding clues along the way. Or helping to ‘unplug’ others from the Matrix.
Thanks Morph.
Guys, some very good commentary. I’m with Gio, a fast collapse is the psychological necessity for implementing a ‘too big to fail’ strategy. Now with that being said, the NWO crowd NEEDs a LEADER, to make it all work, ‘eh? If you look at the meaning behind the words, find gamatria, the bible says their leader will be a “Prince”…? IF you add up the letters of “Prince Charles of Wales” in english AND in Hebrew, they add to….666
But, if that is a ‘dot’, then forget The Rapture dudes and dudettes, we are the Mystery Empire, Babylon, and we go down in ‘one hour’…
Get right with God, prepare to ‘leave babylon’ and go ‘into the wilderness’. We need to setup our own barter networks, militias, interlocking, outside the system.
Prepare to become, The Remnant.
Sheepdog,
I think we’re already there, brother! Right now its a war of words and of votes. I don’t know if it will progress beyond that. I surely hope not.
Dave,
I’m a watchman on the wall and part of that remnant. Don’t let anyone steal you from your blessed hope (your crown), since the Bible is coming true word for word to the letter, God will keep his promise. (but that doesn’t mean I’m willing to sit steady in Mystery Babylon either) I’m liking your suggestion.
Eugene,
Is it really? I keep hoping so and that these are not just shadows on the wall. I think you are right. The shadows were before. These are not.
But, here, I must post, my three paragraphs of hope. While I find great hope in reading the Bible, I find that hope exists in this world also. Though I would not rank this with some of what I read in the Bible, somehow, its closer to me. Its by a little known writer that we all like to read. I haven’t committed the paragraphs to memory. I should. I find its tone almost Biblical. Enjoy:
“The elites often boast of possessing an unparalleled wisdom, an awareness that supercedes all others. If they had attained any wisdom, however, they would have already realized the futility in attempting to control the destinies of other men. Such power is in itself an illusion, for the only power over us is that which we give away. Therefore, the elites only have power over us in so much as we give them explicit consent. All it takes is for one man to say “no,” and the entire web begins to unravel. Control of the world is a fantasy, a cartoon, a cabaret, a childish whimsy that those with legitimate wisdom grow out of. The farce can only continue so long as everyone submits to deception.
Here humanity waits, standing still in the long solemn dark, poised to step from the cold cast shadow into daylight. The great threat to elitism has been and always will be the so called “common man.” We are the honest and faithful explorers of the soul, unhindered by presumptions of superiority or fixations of malice. We are the antithesis, the counterweight, the opposing force, for we seek no power, no dominance, no control over the world; only understanding. We are the future, not the elites. Their time is nearly over, and with their passing, may we see all the horrors they have wrought undone, until life can be lived the way it desperately needs to be lived; with wide eyes, with honor, with sincerity.
Strength, real strength, comes not from the exile of conscience, or surrender to the murky waters of amorality; it comes from trust in one’s own heart. It comes from that intuitive knowing, knowing without calculation or observation. It comes from the utter invincibility of truth; a force against which even the most depraved of elites cannot stand.”
-Giordano Bruno in “Here In The Long Solemn Dark: An Examination Of Global Elitism”
Wow? In my backwoods voice, “Whoooeeee! Ain’t that sumthin!”
Whatever you’ve got people, give it all. You may only have one chance. Give it all you think you have and then give it some more. The future of our children depend on it!
-NetRanger
Wish Granted,
Thank you for the supportive words. I do appreciate them.
Net Ranger,
What a great quote from Giordano! Those words have summed up the entirety of this now 72-reply-deep commentary!! When I was training as a shaman, during the first initiation, the instructor looked deep into my soul and said “you are the one you have been waiting for.” Let us all take those words to heart….indeed, WE are the ones we have been waiting for!!
There is no need for the prophecies in the bible to manifest. They are written as one choice…..we can choose another path. The future is ours to shape. There is so much talk of guns on this site, yet who would you shoot? Do you wish to be attacked? Do you think it inevitable? IS this something that you folks really want to see made manifest in the physical reality (that you would actually have to shoot someone?)??? Is that not playing into the hands of the wolves that guard the baby hens? Who, if not the devil itself, has inspired you folks to want blood? There is another way.
I watched Keanu Reeves kill lots of folks in the Matrix series, yet I can take Hollywood theatrics with a grain of salt. There is a power deeper than that portrayed by Hollywood bullies. Let us tap into that power folks. Remember Obie One Kenobie saying to Darth Vader, “if you kill me now Darth, I will become more powerful than you can ever imagine”. Is there something there?
Morphwithme…………the old rules need not apply!
Morphwithme:
My philosophy on the gun issue is much like the Shaolin philosophy for life. Work for peace, walk softly, but develop a heavy fist.
The world is made of dualities. Where there is good, there is always imbalance and evil not far away. The Shaolin were Buddhist monks dedicated to stopping violence, but they were also rational enough to know that no matter how much they wished for a non-violent solution, other men often do not think in this manner. This is why they developed methods for self defense. Self defense is entirely moral and honorable and within the bounds of conscience.
If someone is attempting to shoot me, or oppress me, I have absolutely no problem shooting back, and I will sleep soundly afterwards.
OH Gio,
Obviously I am not a financial big brain like you guys, but present a simple observation from across the ocean.
I like collecting stamps. So visiting such shops in Europe I found boxes full of ‘old’ European currents for almost nothing. The more you look in these boxes, the more see that it has been the norm to comlpetely, totally, definitly ‘devalue’ the entire currency about 5 times every 100 years.
Now considering that people didn’t use banks as much in the old days, can you imagine how this really hurt the man in the street. And what about anyone outside of the country who could not travel back to that country for the conversion?
Amerricans left these countries for a reason. I take it as a sign of respect, or fear of the people, that ‘they’ don’t try the same trick.
Remember some EU countries still have not converted to the Euro. Why not?
The good news is: I have some American stamps 30 or 40 years old that can still be used?
How many countries in the world can say the same thing.
I look forward to your learned view.
Well, Giordano, I thought this was a very good estimation of what is coming with lots of logical conclusions.
I am wondering if the Federal Reserve is going to morph into something else, seeing that eventually a world System will be in place.
What is eery about this, is that unknown to us little folk, there must be at least one guy or a small group that are really running the U.S. (as in the “invisible hand” we hear about). They are shrewd to keep a low profile, but I’ll bet they start coming into view as this world government takes on visual shape. I watched the films you posted and could not help but be distracted by the very “niceness” of the men giving the presentations. They are well worded and to unsuspecting people, they will sound like people we should follow.
Ultimately, I think in the short term they will gain their world government…it will take some time still (but remember how Dick Cheney would say the wars would go on for decadeS?). But over time they, too, will become victims of their own policies.
I’m just curious, then….what about this gold bug that people keep pushing? Is it a trap? Will gold price collapse or soar?
hanna:
If the dollar begins to collapse, gold and silver will skyrocket. The problem is that people will only have a small window from the beginning of collapse to the apex, where it would be practical to trade their gold for goods. You have to be market savvy and know when to cash in before things get really bad and people are more concerned about food than money.
Precious metals are really worth a bundle AFTER a collapse has subsided, and the nation begins to rebuild. PM’s are the only logical currency to use in the rebuilding phase of an economy, and anyone holding PM’s at this time will be extraordinarily well positioned. You just have to be able to KEEP your gold during the collapse, so that you can use it afterwards.
Excellent article, excellent replies.
This is the time to still buy Precious Metals!
Great article, Gio and excellent replies.

NetRanger, Morph, and Gio, I think my reply had a satilite delay and was intended before the grand words of the Three Musketeers.
You guys are awesome!
Still, can we please focus on the financial big picture here; which has prompted such a viseral and spiritual journey to the center of eveything.
WHAT IS MONEY? REALLY? I mean that green paper in your hand. The shine gold. The heart pumping number on your screen?
I was in the Desert with an ecconomist in Southern Africa, far from civilization, and I asked the SAME question. WHAT IS MONEY? REALLY?
Even though we were alone, in tolerable conditions and on very freindly terms, this highly educated (at some obscenely expensive european college)ecconomist simply laughed and refused to discuss it.
I am guessing the ecconomist was embarrased to admit all that money had been spent to find out everything really works on faith, hope and love. Or Fear.
My appologies that the observation I sent about the changing paper money of europe was a bit abstract.
From my viewpoint outside the USA: most of the world can not imagine how we are able to keep our currency (and stamps) valid for so long. Even the South African rand had to change paper(check out the value history, based on their gold production and reserves)
WHAT IS GOLD? REALLY?
Same question, just heavier.
Please take a look at the history of South Africa and you will be Amazed at historical similarites to the USA.
Still, having most the gold in the world did not stop their hard times. Why not?
The point is still the same:
Whoever has the faith in their nation (or currency) based on Love thy Nieghbor, Love the spirit of freedom, Love…will endure.
So, Three Musketeers, I look forward to your wisdom to help me explain that it is the beleif about the value of a currency THAT IS the real value of that currency.
The rest of the world calls us child like since we have movies with happy endings. MAN, they are working hard for us to accept how immature we are for not surrender our hopes and dreams like they were forced to do since childhood.
Food for thought: I have yet to visit a country that the mail is picked up from peoples homes. You take it for granted…every time you want to mail something….it is unbelievable to many, that you do not have to go wait in line at the post office, or go search for a mailbox.
Misery loves company, so they have been raised on fear and think that is the way to make us “grow up” and be like them.
They think, it is a lot easier to try and bring those childish Americans down to our level than to convince the postal works that they now have to deliver letters AND bring back some mail with them EVERY WORKING DAY.
Thanks for your help.
Wish Granted,
The addition of perspectives from outside the US borders is great. Thank you. We tend to become a bit myopic here, immersed as we are in the blatant corruption so clear to those paying attention.
The question “what is money” is a great one. To contemplate great questions is to expand one’s mind and broaden one’s horizons.
Giordano,
I like what you said about the Shaolin monks. I have heard of them, and I am in harmony with their paradigm. As I spoke earlier of Judo and the martial arts, I thought the mention of the Shaolin was very timely.
I look forward to your continued work.
I wonder if your view is wrong on the kind of world war and on the kind of collapse we are facing? What if the globalist are preparing for global class war instead? Once you kill the the very foundation that we all sit upon (dollar, yuan and euro) this seems to be more likely scenario. I would love to hear your input about this.
Check The Road movie from Viggo Mortensen. If you ask me this scenario is more likely to happen. Think about it. My two cents on this.
Speaking of Shaolin,I have studied similar arts respectively, the Martial art Hsing Yi{mind /intent boxing} and the Chinese throwing art{much like judo} Shuai -Chiao…both are in line with the concepts of change ,adaptability,and constant movement.If you can apply anything you learn from martial arts to life,those I believe are qualities to use in observing and watching the elite play their hand.
The elite in a sense are very arrogant right now in the use of the obvious violence and extortion tactics they are using to pressure everyday people.Through those mistakes I believe awakenings can occur for the “masses”.
Dear three musketeers,
(Gio, NetRanger and Morph)
Considering time and energy are precious resources in a life time:
Would our collective time and energies be better used by focusing on improving our perception of our national self-worth (and currency’s stamina/resiliance)
Or, focusing on what we are afraid of from ‘them’ and planning how to handle the defeat?
What do olympic athletes and teams focus on? Is it just the medals or just doing the best possible?
Or maybe a more personal question:
Why is everyone missing the old days when ‘life was simpler’? (Europeans too)
Focusing on fears is draining, without reward, breeding more fears, distrust,anxiety, dividing people and stopping ideas.
Focusing on what you love in life is energising, continually rewarding, uniting people and developing ideas.
As one great athlete admitted after defeat, “I was too busy focusing on winning the race, to focus on how to run the race.”
Let us have faith in ourselves and get our focus back to loving life in America and using our precious time and energies to set the example of HOW to live.
Many people around the world still believe in the American dream and believe we will perservere and continually prevail.
Americans give the world hope.
Wishgranted:
I think both are important. Promoting and re-invigorating the original American ideal, AND, preparing for the inevitable fight with those people who plan to destroy that ideal.
Giordono,
What about countries such as India, Brazil, and Russia. Will they go quietly into the night. I fail to see how countries as large and powerful as these will be part of ANWO. Whose going to tell the generals to get a new job? I do not think a lot of countries will capitulate so easily.
[...] Kept On Life Support While Global Governance Is Organized Neithercorp Press – , 03/10/2010 By Giordano [...]
It seems there’s an issue of war that isn’t part of the picture. While there is a transition from national military power to corporate thugs there still needs to be one major entity which is known as ‘TEH THUGNESS’. Until then national military force will still be needed so in some way the country chosen as the avatar of the global elite has to be propped up. China will be the new power, but for the moment the United States is still critical as a war machine.
There will either be a revolution (directed by Jerry Bruckheimer) or a civil war if the resistance to war is both too uncomfortable for the elite and and too small to stop them. We can’t pussyfoot around this thing.
This country needs a RENAISSANCE if we’re to bounce from the collapse.
That means anything you do well you have to teach to 3 other people. Hopefully 2 out of 3 will carry the banner and make it viral.

Stripping away political hierarchy (from history), it would seem logical that the planet itself will not survive unless there is responsible global governance rooted in some measure of idealism and effective performance.
Depletion of global resources, hoarding of global resources, or exerting unreasonable power within a global governance would not seem to be in the best interests of the globe, and ultimately, will destroy the earth and the people on it. Nuclear wars may not be our more immediate problem, but one of continuous concern relative to spontaneous death. Long, slow mismanagement brings the same potential for death – in the end.
Since profits are irrelevant in the face of global destruction, strategies designed to curb incentives and increase the likelihood of global survival seem favorable. Is there really a choice without an alternative planet to jump to?
