Bring it on! It is long overdue! If it stops the Us wars of choice, then a crash is well worth the pain for Americans.

The Great Depression lasted 13 years and the stock market didn’t hit bottom until the third year. I think that this one will never end for Americans. If you haven’t prepared for the storm, now might be a good time to do so.

We shall see– we are entering a different planet, overcrowded, resource deprived, and ruled by psychopaths.
The sameness and boring world culture will make things trite and vanilla tasting.

“In Striking Twist, A War Of Words Erupts Between China’s Central Bank And Ministry of Finance”
https://tinyurl.com/ycnktvo8

“Forget the trade war: in China the finger pointing over who is responsible for China’s economic mess has begun. In an unprecedented turn of events, China’s central bank and its Ministry of Finance are having a public feud about the future of the country’s monetary policy. Worse, it comes at a troubling time for a deleveraging (at least until recently) China whose economy has slowed sharply, just saw its biggest default of 2018, and is engaged in a bitter trade – and now currency – war with the US, all of which have sent its stock market into a bear market.”

“Needless to say, it is embarrassing for China – which always seeks to exude an air that everything is under control and any debates only take place behind closed doors – to air this type of dirty laundry out in the public, unlike in the United States, where the President simply tweets out his thoughts on the Forex markets on a daily basis. There is another take: as the Economist observes, “as the dispute breaks into the open it raises another fear—that internal channels have become blocked, at a delicate time.” This is indeed the biggest worry, because if anything, the feud suggests that Chinese decision makers are lashing out only because they have hit a brick wall with conventional policies, and anything that comes next will be purely experimental. As a result, the pre-emptive blame game has already started.”

That was from:

https://www.theburningplatform.com/2018/07/19/the-black-belt-strategist/#more-180030

“Eighteen years after the Afghanistan invasion, Putin is still smiling. With each military failure since, the US became more stupidly belligerent, bearing massive costs in blood and treasure. Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia: talk about letting the enemy defeat itself! And as the US plunged into one inextricable morass after another, it plunged ever deeper into debt….

Russia, meanwhile, has one of the developed world’s lowest debt ratios, stockpiles gold, and is divesting its US debt. It has teamed up with China on the Belt and Road Initiative….

Americans watch an average of five hours of TV a day. Over 60 percent are obese and an opioid epidemic kills tens of thousands. Even mainstream media pundits fret about an impending “civil war,” and for once they might be right. None of this is Putin’s doing, but he’s undoubtedly amused at all this decadence and division.”

Nuff said.

DMyers on Fri, 20th Jul 2018 7:36 pm 



The Ten Signs are ten signs. I think he’s right on that.

There was never a true recovery from the Great Recession. So, what we’re facing now is a collapsing house of cards that was pawned off as recovery.

I agree with those who assert that descent from a higher point is worse than descent from a lower point.

The economy is a mess, from any common sense point of view. I dread it, but I see the handwriting on the wall. There is neither a legal, nor technological, nor political solution to this final reckoning. For every individual, it will be a personal test of wit.

There is only an hand full of people (2% maybe less) on this earth that can understand law of physics like the conservation of energy and apply them and seem in action in the real world.

Most people on this video still believe the money rules the world. Money is a easy concept that have invented so dumb people (98% of the population) can related too.

There is literally no future for the human race other then eating insects and cadavers.

It is really troubling that only the extreme narcissist and psychopath people like Musk, Bezo, Trump and Clinton can access the highest position of power.

The human race is a failed experiment.

Oil prices could top $120 before year-end

Global oil inventories may decline early in the fourth quarter “to levels that have historically seen triple-digit oil prices,” says Goehring.

You are just afraid of the collapse and can’t accept that when it happens you are dead shortly after.

Bloomer on Fri, 20th Jul 2018 11:08 pm 



The economy is actually doing quite well at the moment.However, there are storm clouds arising. The restless consumers purchasing power is under pressure as wages have not keep pace with inflation. The corporate tax cut savings has not trickled down. But did anyone really expected them too. Higher oil prices and trade tariffs will indeed lead to higher inflation. Fed interest rate hikes will continue until there is capitulation on risky assets.

Then the shit will hit the fan. Watch out below.

Mm: “Prepping is futile because you are outnumbered by the unprepared by a thousand to one.”

You know zero about th3e Ps or the people here. Most here raise a lot of their own food. They don’t buy at supermarkets. It is a tropical climate so a breechcloth and a straw hat are the only clothes required. You can build a livable shelter out of palm leaves and bamboo. A frequent sight here. Money is rare for those who live in the countryside. Barter is common. The jungle provides all that they or I will really need. As I keep saying, my neighbors will hardly notice the collapse of Western civilization, nor care.

It is not possible to defend a farm… attackers will kill you when you venture out to weed or sow or harvest… they will get into your farm at night and raid the crop and kill the animals and rape your wife ..

Makati1 on Sat, 21st Jul 2018 12:28 am 



MM, the “farm” does not need yo be “defended”. We share with our neighbors. It is a permaculture farm, not a conventional field type. No live stock, nor corps that can be taken that do not grow wild all around us. Coconut, papayas, taro, etc. See this list:

“A list of 367 species of edible wild plants (excluding recent introductions and edible fungi), with brief descriptive notes about the plants, their edible parts and their uses.”

No part of the Ps is more than 50 miles from the ocean so fish and other sea food are also available most every where. It is a country of 7,000+ islands.

https://www.cabdirect.org/cabdirect/abstract/19690305506

Not to mention monitor lizards, pythons, etc, that are all edible and are common here. The caretaker killed an 8 foot python last week and the neighbors had a party and ate it. You know zero about the Ps. Your comments only prove your ignorance.

We came from the jungle because it gave us opportunity to survive a lot of food and water bravo logical

Makati1 on Sat, 21st Jul 2018 4:49 am 



Print, I’ve been here in the Ps for a bit over 10 years. I have never regretted my decision. I visit my friends and family in the US annually and see the gradual deterioration everywhere there.

Our farmhouse is designed to need no electric for anything and is built of concrete, steel and masonry. Construction was my lifetime career. My business partner here is a registered architect with over 20 years experience.

It is like a long vacation at a tropical resort. A nice change from cold Pennsylvania winters and not having to own a car to survive. Retired. No debt. No taxes other then the VAT when I buy something here.

“Most here raise a lot of their own food.”

The p’s is overpopulated and a net importer of food and agricultural inputs. It is one of those countries on the brink of food insecurity if there ever was a crisis. We have gone over this 100 times 3rd world. I get tired of posting links.

Davy on Sat, 21st Jul 2018 5:02 am 



“No part of the Ps is more than 50 miles from the ocean so fish and other sea food are also available most every where.”

Forest and fisheries are in decline and or collapse in the P’s and south China Sea. This is a fact spoken about in many publications.

Makati1 on Sat, 21st Jul 2018 5:07 am 



Mm, you are the uneducated one here, not me.

First, there will be no ‘sudden ending’ of oil. It will just get more and more expensive, so there will be a lot of time for adjustment.

They will go back to their family homes in the country. There will be no food shortage here when there are hundreds of square miles of unoccupied tropical jungle full of edibles. You seem to have trouble comprehending English.

“Trying to understand someone else is regarded as a pointless in narcissistic America, selfie-land. Perhaps 90 percent of the populace is incapable of grasping anything more subtle than a political cartoon.”

3rd world what I talk about concerning the p’s can be taken from multiple sources on the web. They are publications that deal with math and science. I do not know the people other than those I have met here and in Europe. You on the other hand may know the people but are in denial of the science and math on the many issues the P’s are faced with. You are a bitter old man locked in a binary game of “we good you bad”. It is old and crusty and shows you are getting to the age where change is no longer possible. Your brain is atrophying and hardening up. It is filling up with plaque. I read no propaganda on the P’s because people could give a shit about the place. It is not like Russia or China where there may be an agenda. Get out of your denial 3rd world. You are in a very dangerous place if there is a collapse.

When the oil runs short the global economy will collapse and that will be the end of oil..You just can’t accept that because you are a widdle old man who is afraid..

Davy on Sat, 21st Jul 2018 5:45 am 



I don’t think imminent collapse is in the cards. I have been reading and studying the idea of this since 2000. In 08 I was on the leading edge of predicting a crisis only to be bitch slapped by the debt fueled central bank recovery I was not able to predict. I am now of the opinion that the death of the economy will be longer term and more localized in the beginning. Failed states and regions will be the prelude. Global civilization is in a downward trajectory but not a dive. It can end quickly but I see so much stored up economic energy and the will to keep the status quo that is unlikely to happen except by black swans and intentional acts like WWIII. I see the trade wars ending after some pain mainly because trade wars in a global economy are only partially effective. They can nudge policy they cannot reshape economies. It is likely too late to change globalism without catastrophic decline so it won’t be changed much. Peak oil is put off a few years and we have renewables to extend an energy transformation in the short term. I see little hope for a 100% renewable transition except in a few select regions and even there they are still dependent on a global world that will likely never transition to renewables. We will not fix the climate and peak everything is happening and never sleeps.

When I first came to this board this attitude of imminent collapse was the primary talk except for a few cornucopians who were normal trounced. We had legitimate arguments for imminent collapse then we do not now. Imminent collapse will always be possible now that the world is so interconnected and overextended into overshoot territory with population and consumption. This is a systematic thing and just the nature of complexity. When you have so much complexity with delocalization of every place on the earth then you have collapse risk. It is here to stay until populations are lowered and fossil fuels are moved away from. Complexity will have to be reduced and our civilization more adapted to planetary cycles of carbon, water, and the web of life. I am of the opinion that is likely not possible mainly because of human behavior and lack of human wisdom. We have no consensus on the problems and no firm direction forward we are a self-organizing human ecosystem that is rudderless. We will go the direction of other civilizations into a bifurcation but there is no historical reference for when. We are in uncharted waters. What is obvious is this world we created cannot continue and all the options I see that could save us incomplete. The worst of the problems is with ourselves. We do not have what it takes to properly deal with what we have created. This is the worst situation not the technology or the predicaments we have created. We are unable and unwilling to change except for some on an individual and local basis. This means the macro human forces that evolve civilization will take us to a collapse sooner or later.

deadly on Sat, 21st Jul 2018 6:04 am 



There is always a threat of imminent economic collapse. Always be prepared for doom, you won’t regret the time and effort involved to do so.

Everybody is dumber than a box of rocks. I myself have shit for brains.

Just the way things are in the real world.

John Williams an Englishman developed the concept of peak coal which later led to the term peak oil.

The year was 1789.

230 years of peak coal so far. 146,514 days until the end of coal, 409 years of mineable coal remaining, 630 years for coal to go from peak to an exhausted resource.

Not a long period of time in the timeline of human history.

The number of days of oil is estimated at 16,399. Approximately 45 years to go until the real end of oil.

There is some breathing room, so there is plenty of time to make things better rather than go extinct.

Extinction is for dodos and passenger pigeons.

The human species can’t go extinct, dogs and cats would go nuts.

Who is going to milk the cows and butcher chickens? No people, chickens, hogs, horses, cattle will run pell mell all over the place, it will be chaos, mayhem, an animal farm.

Humans need to be on earth to maintain control of the rest of the crazed animals that act like it is a dog eat dog world.

Crocodiles would eat sharks, it would be an unthinkable life on earth with no humans.

Humans are saviors, unsung heroes, for all of the the kingdoms, animal, plant, humans can save them all. It is just not true that we are destroying the planet. With no humans on earth, the entire planet will collapse. Humans must survive to have dominion over everything so everything doesn’t go to hell in a handbasket.

Stop picking on humans, it is their nature to control everything, owning everything that can be owned is the means of control.

The ‘deep green goal’ of course is to gain control of all of mankind, go hog wild with another holocaust and kill off four or five billion souls. The Mother of All Holocausts will form a Seneca cliff, the die-off will be severe.

The idiots who believe that humans have overpopulated the planet and are in overshoot just have no faith in humanity.

All they want to see is a completion of the goal, the die-off, anthropogenic style.

In other words, mass murder, drinking the kool-aid, keep up with the Joneses and go all Jim Jones, then onto the go all Stephen Paddock routine. More dumbass copycat nonsense from the peanut gallery. The same goes for those who go postal.

Charles Whitman was the original owner of the model to pick off people using some distance for the total surprise attack on defenseless students on a normal day in Texas. They were sitting ducks, piece of cake.

Got to give credit where credit is due.

The die-off will be human caused.

Can’t really prepare for that, you’ll be a victim sooner than later if all hell breaks loose.

Economic collapse will be the least of the worries.

Where will people go to buy beer and groceries?

So you see, economic collapse just won’t happen at all. Nobody wants to run out of beer.

“3rd world what I talk about concerning the p’s can be taken from multiple sources on the web.”

That does NOT indicate truth or fact, Davy. It always indicates OPINIONS, written for a paycheck. Come here and see for yourself. I live here. Don’t try to tell me what it is like. You have no real experience here. I have 10 years experience living in the Ps and know what it is like and how the people will adjust and survive. You won’t.

You and MM are just envious of my safe position while you live in a country going down the outhouse hole. I do know about the Us. More than you ever will. I lived in it’s best years. You were not even born then. It has been downhill ever since and gaining speed.

You can only “know” yourself and your personal situation. You can never know someone else’. I can say that you have pretty well described yourself in your use of putdowns, denials and delusions here. Not a nice picture.

We had a minor “collapse” in my city yesterday. Weird violent front moved through taking down lots of trees and branches, and LOTS of power with it. The next day, and over 40,000 (over 25% of the in-city residents) still without power.

The whole-house generator is doing fantastic. All I have to do is check/add oil every 24 hours, and it’s not even an inconvenience if the power is down for several days.

Yes, it’s not free to have or run it, but it’s worth it when things go south. I can also help out neighbors.

Common sense preparedness (like saving plenty of money for your retirement) would likely be better energy spent than howling about economic doom all the time.
