Can everyone really not see what is about to happen to America?

Your scenario assumes this collapse is 'accidental'. It isn't. This has been planned for 100 years or more. They aleady have a solution too, and it involves an overt UN/globalist takeover. There will not be enough of us independent-minded people to stage a succesful resistance, we will be far outnumbered by the takers and those lacking the skills, or resources, to fend for themselves. Those of us who want no part of their pre-planned solution will be labeled domestic terrorists and dealt with accordingly.

How does the average Joe prepare for this?

Don't have tens of thousands of dollars to buy gold & silver, plus you can't eat gold & silver

What's an economic collapse look like anyway?

I have an 82 year old friend that literally is crying & screaming. "Do people not see that this is 1932 Germany all over again, I had to live through that, please God tell me I don't have to live through it again"

I simply do not understand why people are so blind to what is going on.

We are under the curse of God's judgement. We have turned our face from Him, and our sin has reached His throne. Our collective failure to "see" is because of this judgement.

Soon we will drink from the cup of His wrath.

All Christians, we must stand in the gap and pray. It may yet mitigate some of what is to come.

The global economic system is designed, built, and completely controlled by the BIG MONEY POWERS. There is no way TPTB will allow a financial collapse that can take away their power and money. A limited collapse, perhaps, like back in 2008-09. That way, they can rake trillions off the falls in global markets. Then they come back with their looted money and buy everything for pennies on the dollar--again. The 1% get richer and the 99% get poorer, as always. The financial markets are a rigged casino-- heads they win, tails you lose.

Back in 2008, when the markets tanked and governments all over the world began to realize that the petro-dollar was in fact collapsing and would not pull out of its tailspin, our leaders in America orchestrated a plan for the coming inevitable collapse of our financial system.

First, they started QE and began dumping extra money into the market to keep it afloat while they began to work their plan. The stockpiling of emergency supplies began in earnest, mostly in fema region 3, close to D.C. The stockpiling of massive amounts of hollow-point ammunition, and the preparation of fema emergency camps soon followed. The passage of laws like NDAA and the internet kill switch were green lighted, government officials were placed in news agencies to facilitate the proper dissemination of information to the people. Obama phones are being given away, so that everyone will be able to see and hear the dear leaders federally mandated emergency addresses when the time comes.

Massive drills were prepared and executed, some with foreign forces assisting us military personnel, like the drill retaking Denver international airport from a hostile force by the US army and Russian spetznaz working together. The U.N. small arms treaty was signed by Obama, promising the U.N. that the disarming of the American populace would indeed take place at some point in the near future. Look this up, U.N. small arms treaty. You WILL be disarmed. Laws have been passed to seize your stockpiled food. See how this neatly circumvents the preparations some of the wiser amongst us have made?

Look people, the plan for a controlled collapse of the American financial system has been put into place all around us for the past several years, and now they are ready to let the markets fail. QE has stopped. No more propping up the economy with funny money. They used QE to buy themselves time to implement their plan, and now the preparations are complete.

They are ready.

Are you?

I wrote this on the fly, and I am sure I have left out a few things that can be added to this small list of preparations made by our faithful government so I encourage you all to help list them in this thread.

I also hope somebody can help me get a pin for this so it will be seen by as many people as possible. This collapse is coming. Its going to happen.

You're spot on. I was saying this in 2012, when Obama was passing the NDAA law. It resembles what the Nazi's did before they moved further. It's messed up, and the saddest part is that I am alone in any motives to try and get out of this mess. I'm a broke student, even if I wanted to get out of this circle of madness (Canada won't look good either) -- I wouldn't know where to go or what to do. The people with rich families who are my age are lucky, a tad clueless most of them. They will stay until the end, until it's too late.

I have sort of accepted my fate, realizing how short this life is regardless.

To be honest, if a WW3 type of event pans out I am not certain of any areas in the rest of the world that would be safe from America's wrath. The whole world will feel what is to come some time in the future.

It brings a tear to my eye, but I am just one man. Some people need to realize that we are not fighting other men. The driving force behind the next Nazi Germany is something incredibly powerful.

I see what your saying but disagree. The one thing that separates us from the scenario you describe is that most people will NOT go along with it and will fight back. Conservatively, if only 1% of Americans fight back, that's somewhere around 5000 well aimed shots per state per day.

I do not believe THEY will have enough Globalist Troops and Loyalist to overcome those losses. Remember, they will not have free reign, they will not get to drive around unimpeded. They will not get to go where they want, when they want to target individuals with massive force. In fact, they will be stuck in Green Zones, well insulated from the badlands just outside the fence. Fuel and Supply will have to traverse large regions of opposition controlled territory if they stand a chance of keeping their bellies full, their computers running and their armor and aircraft flying. And every shipment intercepted is more ammo, more fuel, more more more everything for their opposition.

Remember, they have to be 100% correct every time, we only have to be correct once to totally disrupt their day.

They do not stand a chance. Americans will not give up their freedom quite so easy as you make it seem.

The massive preparation that our government has undertaken has convinced me that, by their actions, they believe this coming collapse will make all previous collapses look like a kindergarten picnic. The have militarized law enforcement and stockpiled enough supplies and ammunition to fight a decade long war. They have seized control of the media, green lighted legislation to strip the rights of anybody they deem a threat. This controlled takeover is reminiscent of the Nazi parties 1930's takeover of Germany.

Posts like this are the reason I occasionally wander over here, what with all the tard-tards who can't spell or post anything more lucid than a dopey one-liner and a cartoon.

The real question mark in all of this is which way the military will face when they fire? Will a paycheck make them fire on civilians, or will they turn around and start arresting and shooting the millionaires and politicians who crashed everything?

Sometimes I think I'm only sticking around out of morbid curiosity, but at least I'm pre-bugged out.

Good luck with everything there in the cities, 12 hours after the lights go out and stay out.

The value of the US dollar is determined in large part by the fact that oil is sold in US dollars. If that trade shifts to a different currency, countries around the world won't need all their US money. The resulting sell-off of US dollars would weaken the currency dramatically.

So here's an interesting thought experiment. Everybody says the US goes to war to protect its oil supplies, but doesn't it really go to war to ensure the continuation of the petrodollar system?

The Iraq war provides a good example. Until November 2000, no OPEC country had dared to violate the US dollar-pricing rule, and while the US dollar remained the strongest currency in the world there was also little reason to challenge the system. But in late 2000, France and a few other EU members convinced Saddam Hussein to defy the petrodollar process and sell Iraq's oil for food in euros, not dollars. In the time between then and the March 2003 American invasion of Iraq, several other nations hinted at their interest in non-US dollar oil trading, including Russia, Iran, Indonesia, and even Venezuela. In April 2002, Iranian OPEC representative Javad Yarjani was invited to Spain by the EU to deliver a detailed analysis of how OPEC might at some point sell its oil to the EU for euros, not dollars.

This movement, founded in Iraq, was starting to threaten the dominance of the US dollar as the global reserve currency and petro currency. In March 2003, the US invaded Iraq, ending the oil-for-food program and its euro payment program.

There are many other historic examples of the US stepping in to halt a movement away from the petrodollar system, often in covert ways. In February 2011 Dominique Strauss-Kahn, managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), called for a new world currency to challenge the dominance of the US dollar. Three months later a maid at the Sofitel New York Hotel alleged that Strauss-Kahn sexually assaulted her. Strauss-Kahn was forced out of his role at the IMF within weeks; he has since been cleared of any wrongdoing.

War and insidious interventions of this sort may be costly, but the costs of not protecting the petrodollar system would be far higher. If euros, yen, renminbi, rubles, or for that matter straight gold, were generally accepted for oil, the US dollar would quickly become irrelevant, rendering the currency almost worthless. As the rest of the world realizes that there are other options besides the US dollar for global transactions, the US is facing a very significant – and very messy – transition in the global oil machine.

Rome. Florence. London. And now...

Each one of these and a dozen other empires were "trillion dollar" economies. Economies so vast and grand they were believed to be invincible, and each collapsed to dust.

It's foolish to make such arrogant statements. Thinking before you speak is tantamount to looking at the toilet seat before you sit down to take a shit at a truck stop.
