Re: Are people oblivious to the collapse we are about to face?
In Late September 2022 It All Collapses...OP Update p.24
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75347959

If history is correct, then the stock market collapse will start tomorrow, Monday 17/10. It will be 5 days of sharp decline followed by a short period of volatility (up-and-down swings). It will still take a couple of years before the stock markets around the world hits rock bottom.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84243941


bsflag nothing but people full of fears in this thread and ignorant of what’s happening. What you are looking at with fear is just opportunities for the US. As Europe enters into an state of war with Russia the US one more time will be their heaven in every aspect and like happened before WW2 manufacturing will stay up housing will be up America has a huge problem with the trillions in debt but once the European banks are unstable the dollar will replace them and Europe will support our debt. Go out enjoy the beautiful changing colors of the season and let the adults and the men to worry.

What happens to debt in a total system collapse? Who is going to enforce repayment? Remember the “lier loans,..aka no money down mortgages”? people were living in no money down million dollar homes for years before the banks caught up with them? Free ride for years seems pretty darn good and you save your money as well?

Go look what happened in Argentina, if you really want to see what happens when everything collapses. The government begins seizing everything of value "for the greater good".

Re: Are people oblivious to the collapse we are about to face?
The collaspe will affect those of you who are in debt or paying a mortgage, or any other loans you will suffer the worse you've ever experienced. If you can survive in a 3rd world country for 10+ years without feeling miserable you would stand a chance. But most cannot because of your greed. You borrowed to get ahead in life and it's now going to bite you in your ass. You thought u were better off than a poor person who is debtfree. You probably felt comfortable in your suburban home thinking you were smarter than people in the ghetto.

No. Those same people be the ones you face when you end up on the streets overnight in the middle of chaos of an angry mob.

Money or guns will not save you. In fact those 2 things will guarantee your death early. You stand no chance defeating people who had no time to be comfortable like you did. You got weak and you will 100% be unable to win.

Only if you are debtfree you stand a chance. Because you have freedom and you only have to get through this collapse which should be easy for you. You were poor before and it will actually benefit you during all this.

Most of you are thinking in terms of a Hollywood movie and not reality. This won't be walking dead it's real life. You think you can survive when you can't even survive in poverty areas. Go try it now and put urself to the test so you get a preview or taste of what's coming for you.

Take the hood versus a bunch of suburbs idiots and a tiny hood will wipe you all out like you're ants.

You won't be able to barter with whatever you're stocking up with your stupid shft prepping mindset. You didn't learn it seems and you're just fueling your greedy sin mind.

You'd get robbed nobody bartering with you. They are taking what you have.

Money will not help because it's the money or monetary system that caused this in the first place. Nobody will accept something of no value. You won't even be alive to use money when it's all over. So no, you're not going to be buying anything cheap. Not land, or another home. It won't be for sale.

I haven't even said much because I will get blacklisted but I said enough.

But If you want to survive. Sell everything back that you borrowed and if you have equity, great. At least you can now pay off your debts so you at least stand a chance.


Your time is almost up and will soon seem like he'll for you. AND... you still have hell to look forward to!

Be ready. Remember, your guns are a scam they want you to buy them. Trust me I made 1.5 million buying gun stocks when they threatened on mainstream to ban them. They actually will never ban those toys you own.

They want you to own them that's why 99.9% of movies have a gun scene..You're being conned and you are so obedient that you cannot see it. Because you're just a empty shell that had ur brain infiltrated by THEY. They stored everything you believe today in there.

You actually don't have any original thoughts of your own because you were enslaved in a box where they feed you only what they wanted you to see. Anything unique or original someone may tell you may not be registering to your brain.

Because this entire time. If you were in some debt. You are the sheeple who will get slaughtered.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16990866



Eloquent rubbish -- is what I call your dribble...

Firstly,, if that many mortgages went bust -- NO one is coming for your home -- that is BS. It will melt the entire financial system down... So why pay back ? - you make no sense. Paying back solves what problem if the entire world as erupted in chaos ?

You would have me believe to sell my stuff and go live in a Ghetto --- are you that stupid - or are you from the ghetto and trying to make yourself seem that you did well in life? - yes , I believe in those times - the hive mind will take over - looting will become survival mode. So are you saying --- that we should loot with the rest of our now Ghetto friend ? - and that is why you still in the Ghetto -- cos your mindest is still in the Ghetto.

and loose our guns you say ?? - and defend with what ? you make no sense.

Do I think there will be a total breakdown of the fabric of society - YES.. but your post answers to non of the solutions for that time.

My suggestion:

Stock up with PRAYER!
Stock up with skills ( building / welding / hunting etc etc)
Stock up with seeds / produce
stock up with tents / survival gear (water purification etc) .
Stock up with weapons / ammo
Stock up with solar panels / batteries / perimeter gear - alarms
Get out of the city or town --- as far away as possible from anyone else.
set up camp -- wait it out a few months / years - however long it takes --- go back, pick up the pieces.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83803678


Fool! They will still collect or kick you out of your home. It's not the end of the world just the end of this economy. I'm not allowed to say much but America will be fine after it's over. It's happening because of people who are greedy and borrowed what they don't own.

You will no longer gave your mortgaged house. You have no choice but to leave when they force you out. Just like the many who lost theirs during the housing crash. But this time alot more will lose their homes.

You don't own your house. It's not yours. If u try hogging it you are just verifying you are wicked and need to be wiped out.

You are the people they're getting rid of because they need to rid the system of you to bring in the IOT phase for the upcoming society they are building. A society where you have no role in. Your way of making a living borrowing is not part of the new plan. That's the old world. No boomers will be around.

Your debt won't be void. If that was true most would go borrow 50k now just to live it up. You still owe the gang or bank and they will collect or get out and go on the streets.

Well I live in the woods and hang out with one guys a painter, he makes good money. He saying that many people stopped spending and he can't find work. It's happening.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78003171


Well guys are charging 6k to paint exterior homes which is crazy..should be like 3 k
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72558093


Painting is one of the easiest home improvements people can do for themselves. Ever watch a group of painters? They take more breaks than I’ve ever seen. The only time I’d ever hire a painter is to do something that need a ladder for second level of an exterior home. All interior pain can be done yourselves. Stop being so lazy. A few cans of paint, the right tools can save you thousands. Plus these painters nowadays are sloppy af. My wife hired a painter once for a simple job and I had to redo what he fucked up. Don’t get me started. Painters way over charge. Learn to paint. Do it yourselves. Save money.

All around, it seems people continue to spend spend spend as if everything is normal. Are people not running out of money? I sure as hell am, and have been pinching pennies for months. Is it just my perception, and I am only noticing the wealthy out there? The last week I have this impending sense of deep economic despair is about to strike, the likes of which has never been seen before. I do not think it will be comparable to anything we have seen in the past since society is now so dependent on the digital economy. When things collapse it will be epic and there will be no safety net as the vast majority of people are so disconnected from self sustainability. And, I do not think those who have skills and the resources to be self sustaining will fare that well as the hungry hordes will seek them out.

Credit cards and debt. The last time this happened most people were given a get out of debt free card. Perhaps they think this will happen again. I knew multiple people that let houses and debt foreclose. One actually had two houses and stopped making payments and kept all the cash to buy another cheaper house outright. Another stopped making payments and lived without making payments for 7 years. The banks tried to foreclose but the banks did not have the signed mortgage papers so every time the judge would throw out the foreclosure during the proceeding.

Re: Are people oblivious to the collapse we are about to face?
I just said this to somebody the other day.

Living down here in Florida, and the common person all seem to have brand new pickup trucks with huge 30-in tires and unlimited gas cards to fill them up.

Some of these same people are buying several packs of cigarettes at a time or carrying out bags full of foods from Pollo Tropical while I'm sitting here eating rice and beans and whatever I can afford.

The thing is, you wouldn't know that the economy, inflation and everything else, was on the rise while all other things are in a steady decline.

Thankfully I already let a millionaire's life, owning businesses, the Mercedes, the Lamborghini, the BMW motorcycles and even those things weren't toys as much as they were my eyeing up estate sales and when old men died and had these things sitting in their garage, will barely know miles on them and every service call met. I'd pick them up for a mere few thousand dollars and do the work on them myself (the Murcielago was actually a friend's car who didn't have money to afford to tune up until we left it sitting in his garage for 2 years before I took it over).

My point is, since getting rid of all those things, everything I had in the garage you name it... Everything I own now is in my little Mazda 3, some important art and a few other items are in storage in big Tupperware containers (those black and yellow lid top ones from Home Depot) as they have art in them and the road I've been on and the experiences I've had has built up both my spiritual strength and my intestinal fortitude for what's coming.

I have building tools extension cords and whatnot in the trunk, along with a basic set of medical supplies and a few other things for when/if TSHTF.

The only thing I don't have is the same thing other people won't have any that's gasoline. I did invest however in several land plots between Florida and Vermont. Depending on the time of the year, and where I'm at, I have enough in the way to get to any of the locations where there is gasoline and other supplies and preps, the best one being in Vermont on 17 acres and every resource including fresh spring water, solar and wind power.

Outside of that, I'm not going to incur violence on anybody, but I am going to bunk her in and wait and watch to see who dies off and in what areas. I'll be more of a scavenger-marauder at that point, setting traps and making sure I have access to plenty of the brake fluid and pool shock that's left on the empty shelves of many stores where people don't know what those two things combined can do for defensive measures.

Good luck, pray without ceasing and may you be where you need to be if things go south quickly.

I am spending on items I need. I don’t see any doom coming but who knows? Nobody on here anyway.

Re: Are people oblivious to the collapse we are about to face?
All around, it seems people continue to spend spend spend as if everything is normal. Are people not running out of money? I sure as hell am, and have been pinching pennies for months. Is it just my perception, and I am only noticing the wealthy out there? The last week I have this impending sense of deep economic despair is about to strike, the likes of which has never been seen before. I do not think it will be comparable to anything we have seen in the past since society is now so dependent on the digital economy. When things collapse it will be epic and there will be no safety net as the vast majority of people are so disconnected from self sustainability. And, I do not think those who have skills and the resources to be self sustaining will fare that well as the hungry hordes will seek them out.

Many think that because the grocery store if full today that all is fine. Many heed scripture and know of a coming famine, see the problems with fertilizer, fuel, food plants, trains, ect. and stock up their barns like Joseph did......keeping and protecting that may be fruitless, maybe not.

Re: Are people oblivious to the collapse we are about to face?
I just said this to somebody the other day.

Living down here in Florida, and the common person all seem to have brand new pickup trucks with huge 30-in tires and unlimited gas cards to fill them up.

Some of these same people are buying several packs of cigarettes at a time or carrying out bags full of foods from Pollo Tropical while I'm sitting here eating rice and beans and whatever I can afford.

The thing is, you wouldn't know that the economy, inflation and everything else, was on the rise while all other things are in a steady decline.

Thankfully I already let a millionaire's life, owning businesses, the Mercedes, the Lamborghini, the BMW motorcycles and even those things weren't toys as much as they were my eyeing up estate sales and when old men died and had these things sitting in their garage, will barely know miles on them and every service call met. I'd pick them up for a mere few thousand dollars and do the work on them myself (the Murcielago was actually a friend's car who didn't have money to afford to tune up until we left it sitting in his garage for 2 years before I took it over).

My point is, since getting rid of all those things, everything I had in the garage you name it... Everything I own now is in my little Mazda 3, some important art and a few other items are in storage in big Tupperware containers (those black and yellow lid top ones from Home Depot) as they have art in them and the road I've been on and the experiences I've had has built up both my spiritual strength and my intestinal fortitude for what's coming.

I have building tools extension cords and whatnot in the trunk, along with a basic set of medical supplies and a few other things for when/if TSHTF.

The only thing I don't have is the same thing other people won't have any that's gasoline. I did invest however in several land plots between Florida and Vermont. Depending on the time of the year, and where I'm at, I have enough in the way to get to any of the locations where there is gasoline and other supplies and preps, the best one being in Vermont on 17 acres and every resource including fresh spring water, solar and wind power.

Outside of that, I'm not going to incur violence on anybody, but I am going to bunk her in and wait and watch to see who dies off and in what areas. I'll be more of a scavenger-marauder at that point, setting traps and making sure I have access to plenty of the brake fluid and pool shock that's left on the empty shelves of many stores where people don't know what those two things combined can do for defensive measures.

Good luck, pray without ceasing and may you be where you need to be if things go south quickly.

Re: Are people oblivious to the collapse we are about to face?
The collaspe will affect those of you who are in debt or paying a mortgage, or any other loans you will suffer the worse you've ever experienced. If you can survive in a 3rd world country for 10+ years without feeling miserable you would stand a chance. But most cannot because of your greed. You borrowed to get ahead in life and it's now going to bite you in your ass. You thought u were better off than a poor person who is debtfree. You probably felt comfortable in your suburban home thinking you were smarter than people in the ghetto.

No. Those same people be the ones you face when you end up on the streets overnight in the middle of chaos of an angry mob.

Money or guns will not save you. In fact those 2 things will guarantee your death early. You stand no chance defeating people who had no time to be comfortable like you did. You got weak and you will 100% be unable to win.

Only if you are debtfree you stand a chance. Because you have freedom and you only have to get through this collapse which should be easy for you. You were poor before and it will actually benefit you during all this.

Most of you are thinking in terms of a Hollywood movie and not reality. This won't be walking dead it's real life. You think you can survive when you can't even survive in poverty areas. Go try it now and put urself to the test so you get a preview or taste of what's coming for you.

Take the hood versus a bunch of suburbs idiots and a tiny hood will wipe you all out like you're ants.

You won't be able to barter with whatever you're stocking up with your stupid shft prepping mindset. You didn't learn it seems and you're just fueling your greedy sin mind.

You'd get robbed nobody bartering with you. They are taking what you have.

Money will not help because it's the money or monetary system that caused this in the first place. Nobody will accept something of no value. You won't even be alive to use money when it's all over. So no, you're not going to be buying anything cheap. Not land, or another home. It won't be for sale.

I haven't even said much because I will get blacklisted but I said enough.

But If you want to survive. Sell everything back that you borrowed and if you have equity, great. At least you can now pay off your debts so you at least stand a chance.


Your time is almost up and will soon seem like he'll for you. AND... you still have hell to look forward to!

Be ready. Remember, your guns are a scam they want you to buy them. Trust me I made 1.5 million buying gun stocks when they threatened on mainstream to ban them. They actually will never ban those toys you own.

They want you to own them that's why 99.9% of movies have a gun scene..You're being conned and you are so obedient that you cannot see it. Because you're just a empty shell that had ur brain infiltrated by THEY. They stored everything you believe today in there.

You actually don't have any original thoughts of your own because you were enslaved in a box where they feed you only what they wanted you to see. Anything unique or original someone may tell you may not be registering to your brain.

Because this entire time. If you were in some debt. You are the sheeple who will get slaughtered.

Eloquent rubbish -- is what I call your dribble...

Firstly,, if that many mortgages went bust -- NO one is coming for your home -- that is BS. It will melt the entire financial system down... So why pay back ? - you make no sense. Paying back solves what problem if the entire world as erupted in chaos ?

You would have me believe to sell my stuff and go live in a Ghetto --- are you that stupid - or are you from the ghetto and trying to make yourself seem that you did well in life? - yes , I believe in those times - the hive mind will take over - looting will become survival mode. So are you saying --- that we should loot with the rest of our now Ghetto friend ? - and that is why you still in the Ghetto -- cos your mindest is still in the Ghetto.

and loose our guns you say ?? - and defend with what ? you make no sense.

Do I think there will be a total breakdown of the fabric of society - YES.. but your post answers to non of the solutions for that time.

My suggestion:

Stock up with PRAYER!
Stock up with skills ( building / welding / hunting etc etc)
Stock up with seeds / produce
stock up with tents / survival gear (water purification etc) .
Stock up with weapons / ammo
Stock up with solar panels / batteries / perimeter gear - alarms
Get out of the city or town --- as far away as possible from anyone else.
set up camp -- wait it out a few months / years - however long it takes --- go back, pick up the pieces.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83803678


Fool! They will still collect or kick you out of your home. It's not the end of the world just the end of this economy. I'm not allowed to say much but America will be fine after it's over. It's happening because of people who are greedy and borrowed what they don't own.

You will no longer gave your mortgaged house. You have no choice but to leave when they force you out. Just like the many who lost theirs during the housing crash. But this time alot more will lose their homes.

You don't own your house. It's not yours. If u try hogging it you are just verifying you are wicked and need to be wiped out.

You are the people they're getting rid of because they need to rid the system of you to bring in the IOT phase for the upcoming society they are building. A society where you have no role in. Your way of making a living borrowing is not part of the new plan. That's the old world. No boomers will be around.

Your debt won't be void. If that was true most would go borrow 50k now just to live it up. You still owe the gang or bank and they will collect or get out and go on the streets.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16990866


Do you understand -- that if 1/3 of the any market FAILS ( re-collections) --- it will bring down the entire financial system?

so -- if there is widespread chaos -- do you think there will be a functioning banking system at that stage - considering the financial system across the world just went into meltdown!!!

I never said stay at home -- or in a house... EVEN if you have a house - fully paid and owned --- in time -- once you realise that all control mechanisms have failed -- LEAVE IT --- and make for the hills. That may be the only way your family makes it to the other side of this chaos.

Re: Are people oblivious to the collapse we are about to face?
nope, have plenty of money because i'm not fucking stupid with it. I'll buy up all yalls shit at pennies on the dollar like i did in 2008/09 and flip it the next time they turn on the printers. Just like I did this time.

Instead of wasting it I build business with it that continue to earn me cash flow. You should try it some time instead of expecting handouts like paychecks all the time.

Exactly. People don't spend money when there's a depression and collapse. The only business that will thrive are making coffins for the govt cheap or some other govt contract.
