The biggest crisis ahead is the G20 imposed global bailout crash, same principle as what is happening in US now only on a longer run but even more devestating unless they dupe us into an even purer form of "free market" as proposed by Milton Friedman (Chicago school from the '50s )(in the end the architect of our collapsing system with the best of outcome for those in power) |

Quoting: Dr. QuibbleOr at least, what do you think the effects will be. And for the nay-sayers.. This is purely a hypothetical question. You are a fool to worry about such things or even think of them. Think about how you can be certain to survive and prosper no matter what may happen. If you are wise you will indeed see the wisdom in what I have written here. |

Im just wondering what type of effects would we be likely to see over here when* it happens. A recent example would be the collapse of Iceland. They had some major rioting. OLD: [link to www.forbes.com] NEW: [link to www.marketoracle.co.uk] Excerpt: >>Iceland, whose only remaining source of income is its exports, will certainly not be able to pay off those debts. The Icesave agreement, that the Icelandic parliament is expected to vote on soon, would burden Iceland with a debt equivalent to £700 billion for the UK or $5.6 trillion for the US. Nor will Iceland be able to clear its deficit in less than five years, when national deficits are rising more quickly than ever, even for the great powers – with the UK and the US once again providing two very good examples. Unless a radical new approach is adopted, Europe and the IMF are about to perform a major feat: reducing a country whose HDI had, in just a few decades, reached the highest level in the world, to the rank of a poor country... The consequence of this is that the Icelandic people, the majority of whom are highly qualified and multilingual and have strong work relationships with the Nordic countries where they can assimilate easily, are already starting to emigrate. In the end, neither the IMF, nor England or the Netherlands will be able to be reimbursed. Just a few tens of thousands of retired fishermen will be left in Iceland, along with its natural resources and a key geostrategic position at the mercy of the highest bidder – Russia, for example, might well find it attractive.<< Last Edited by DaJavoo on 08/12/2009 11:00 PM :DJrebelli: |

Then you will see a social backlash that is without parallel in modern history. Expect something akin to the French revolution,executions of the elitists,en masse. Bad time to have a posh accent. The mindless masses will rule for a while,until restructuring. History for beginners. The writing is on the wall and these are historical times, Can you see the writing on the wall? The end is near,everyone knows. |

I envy the russians and the aziatic block, they still stand somewhat on their own. How could I have missed this global power grab by the elites. Of course, make us a global economy and then take it down en masse. After the dust settles install a world government, a world currency, a world judicial court - a one world order. Again, I can't believe I missed this right before my eyes. While those I know keep touting that a global economy is a GOOD thing, it is only for the handful of puppet master elites. Same thing with what's going on with U.S. health. In the future, our health care will be dictated by WHO, the U.N. World Health Organization. This whole plan had to collapse the U.S. of America for it to work. It took awhile. Some say the whole 20th Century was geared toward the demise of the U.S. It's been, however, in overdrive since the 1970s when the biggest and most successful and innovative manufacturing nation was destroyed from within and plants were shipped around the world. Just look at the dismal selection of American cars to witness the end of American innovation and design and you will see the future of the U.S. Basically, it's just about over. Wow. I can't believe it. |
