Most Do Not Realize How Bad it Really Will Be

At the end of this past July, one of the largest ports in America, Long Beach, reported that the 20% year-over-year cargo business decline is among the sharpest since the Great Depression. This is not a trend specific to Long Beach. “It’s phenomenal how much things fell away even since December,” said Paul Bingham, managing director of global trade and transportation for IHS Global Insight, the business research firm that monitors North America’s biggest ports for the National Retail Federation.

As of September 4, 2009, shadowstats.com reported that unemployment in the US is now near 21% and is showing no signs of improving any time soon (when factoring in discouraged workers, part-time workers that can’t find full-time work, unemployed workers that have fallen off the unemployment roll, etc.). In fact, yesterday, Manpower’s Employment Outlook Survey reported that US employers’ hiring plans for the upcoming fourth quarter dropped to the lowest level in the history of its survey which dates back to 1962.

For those unfamiliar with the term “blowback”, it's a CIA term that was first used in March 1954 to describe the unintended consequences of US government international activities kept secret from the American people.

Though this term has primarily been used to describe the consequences of covert military operations, “blowback” is an appropriate term to use to describe the coming consequences of banking fraud because the US government, US Federal Reserve, Wall Street, the US Treasury, and the Exchange Stabilization Fund have all engaged in domestic and international financial and monetary transactions that have been kept secret from the world, and that will have severe and negative consequences in the not so distant future. In fact, I predict that the blowback of these activities will not only exceed, but far exceed, the fallout the world experienced in 2008 at the prior apex of this current crisis. Most people today can not even fathom how bad the situation will become primarily because of all the secrecy that the banksters have engaged in – in US Treasury markets, the gold markets, the US dollar markets, agriculture commodities, stock markets, and financial markets – in hiding reality from the people.
(finally)
Instead, they will only realize the truth when the economic future unfolds to the blueprint of those of us the media labels as “gloom and doomers” because we base our predictions on reality instead of fantasy and lies. Instead of labeling us as “gloom and doomers”, if the media at large ever conducted an unbiased analysis of the predictions of the “gloom and doomers” for the past 3 years, they would discover that the “gloom and doomers” have been spectacularly accurate in the majority of their calls while the financial demagogues they continually fawn over (that only serve the interests of the bankers) have been spectacularly wrong in the vast majority of their predictions.

  1. can you give us a timeline? or can you atleast explain what 2010 will look like. I hope the govt will be smart enough to wean us off the "lifestyle" gradually, like over the next 10 years ,not sudenly (stores empty,gas lines,no food, riots etc.)If you could break it down , that would be helpful, and calming.

  2. Our banker owners don't care enough about us enough to wean us off. Plus there is a a lot more profit to be made by a financial shock and awe.

    Obama Assassination Plot Fails As Full Terror Alert Hits North America

  4. The FDIC is suspending service aka putting on 'holiday' more and more small banks right now and the media is dutifully not reporting on it.

    My friend does not have access to his business checking, his account and thousands of others are suspended indefinitely. Bank manager says for just a couple days. It is starting.

    The FDIC shows up in front of the bank in their black vans and takes over the bank. Non-Fed direct banks will all be gone. The rest will be quasi-nationalized. The Fed can take over all banks they want with their fiat printing press.

    When it goes full scale and the dollar collapses the greatest robbery in the history of the modern world will be underway.

    Those with savings, IRAs, CDs, checking, variable interest mortages/CC are going to be reduced to poverty and the status of a peasant.

    People that pay fixed debt payments will be winners. People that receive fixed income will be losers.

    The entire process will take about two weeks. It will most likely be ushered in via a deliberate distraction. A false flag. H1N1. Some random event (planned) that will get used as a trigger for the domino collapse. Then the blame won't be placed on the banksters.

  5. so where are you suppose to put your money, I hear asians banks, but what about a local asian bank in america ? what about gold? do you buy gold bars ? do you keep it in your house?

  7. Turn your money into REAL stuff. In the Soviet collapse: toilet paper, vodka, ammunition, gas, medicine . . . stuff like that was always tradeable for other services/items you needed. You can't eat or really use gold, so for most of us poor folks its not the logical store of wealth.

  8. Best advice is to only keep enough fiat currency that you need to conduct business, pay bills.

    If you have an IRA, cash it out now. If you own stocks sell them now.

    Buy THINGS you need now as poster stated above. If you have a significant amount of $ you obviously can only buy so many cans of food and ammo, so for the retention of value I recommend silver, then gold.

    Metals are secondary. Food, water, medicine, etc, first. Simply think of all the things you would need if you were living in a log cabin 500 miles from any town with no utilities. No running water.

    Stop thinking shopping malls, credit rating, that your job is permanent, our about your social status - all of that is flushed.

  9. Mental preparation is just as important as all the above. Accept that you may wake up to a brutal collapse any day. Whether that day comes tomorrow, or two years from now, it will be ok.

    You know that life as you know it right now is temporary in any case. While others are running to the pharmacy for more anti-depressants you already have your ducks in a row.

  10. The people that we count on for stability are heartless bastards. Criminals, liars, and mass murderers run our government. Don't depend on them for anything that you don't have to; free yourself from dependency on them the best that you can.

    Their monetary system is debt slavery. Work on that first. Cut them loose.

  11. Yep, mental preperation is key. For me, history keeps me sane (relatively speaking of course!) -- Its not like "some", or even "most" empires/major-powers collapse. They ALL do. But its never the end of the world, its just a time of reorganization.

    And change is scary, it will be hard and easy in different quantity's for all of us. But change is inevitable. And think how freaking BORING the universe would be if there wasn't change!

    Personally, I think if somehow the next 50 years in America could continue in the same direction as the last 50 years? Have you seen the movie "Idiocracy"? Not a great piece of cinema - but perhaps accurate in some areas!

  12. personally, I wouldnt mind if they shut down a couple of big box stores. I have seen supermarkets packed to the rim with food, toiletries etc.. that half were expired. And people in this country could stand to lose a couple of tons, (if you no what I mean.)one person standing in line from me was using food stamps and complaining her family was starving. she was 100 lbs overweight, wtf.

  13. I would strongly recommend buying gold and silver rounds or bars (www.ampex.com) & NO I have no affiliation with them, I only use them to buy gold and silver. Find a safe place to keep the bulk of your gold and silver (and the number one place to NOT keep it is in a bank). You need to buy storable food (efoodsdirect.com) and water filters and storable water+lots of ammo.

    I am not sure how one would prepare one's mental state, depending on where you live, this could be an all out war, scavengers, govt forces etc. I recommend reading the Argentina model, they have gone through the same thing, we are and will be going through. Only the Argentina people were not so addicted to their propaganda mind control TV's like the dumbed down idiotic American sheeple are, so it may be much worse here. Yuppies will freak out when they finally figure out what is really going on and their Lexus's are towed away and they can't pay their mortgages on their $500,000 homes. This is where the FEMA camps will come into play as the Sheeple will beg their criminal govt for help.

    Also, get a short wave radio/CB/police scanner/ham radio, I have a short wave and a CB, for whatever good they will do. Don't count on the internet, it will be filtered any day now (that's my business), so its highly unlikely there will be the internet as you know it. There will be many new networks sprouting up, as many IT/techies are awake and hate the govt and God Gates.

    It appears it will hit the fan any day, look for the fake pandemic to start, which will attempt to hide from the sheeple the collapse of our economy/dollar devaluation. Most yuppie sheeple will have no clue till they realize they have no $$.

    Buy a lot of books, perhaps you can read in between shooting at lunatic yuppies on the loose looking for Cognac and cuban cigars.

  14. I strongly agree with 2:49 pm that a pandemic or a big terrorist action would help to
    'explain' the economic collapse.

    And also, don't buy a Kindle because that won't work anymore when the power goes out and the internet is down.

    Buy yourself a copy of 1984, Animal Farm, and Brave New World

  18. What a load of crap. People please wake up, you remind me of those Russians who went hiding in a cave thinking that the world was going to end. Now is the time for all of you to step into reality, this crash is not happening. I realy feel embarassed for all of you.

    ReplyDelete
  19. 8:42 Thanks AGAIN for your intelligent post regarding "the crash is not happening". We need more posters explaining why this scenario will never take place and your statement with "details" were superb! Please provide the blog with your amazing insight.

  20. 8:42 Explanation is simple, it is not hapennig just like it did not happen when lehman went kaput.

    The stimulus is working with decreasing unemployment rate and increase economic growth.
    Look around you...peolpe are finding jobs, consumer confidence rising, retailers posting record profit, banks posting record profit, economy growing at faster rate and etc etc.

    ReplyDelete
  21. 12:32 your post is delusional. Unemployment levels are worse than at anytime, view the charts they don't lie. Banks are posting profits because the gov't gave them the money! Economy is shrinking at a pace never seen before. Do you live in space? Or mentally handicapped? Where is your info? Please specify? CNN or CNBC?

    ReplyDelete
  22. 12:32 mispoke. What he meant to say was 'decreasing rate of unemployment'

    which is true. the rate at which jobs are being lost is declining which is perfectly in keeping with the concept of a 'jobless recovery'.

    Consumer confidence fell drastically in the past month. It did not rise.

    Retailers are far from posting record profits. On the contrary, they're sales figures are the worst ever on record.

    Banks are posting record profits by sleight of hand and fed funny money only. No work was done for which they ought to make a dime.
    They are enjoying the fruits of owning the political apparatus in washington.

    Economy is not growing. It is shrinking at a phenomenal pace.

    Why go around posting pure disinfo?

    Perhaps you are a Jesuit practicing the "spiritual" exercises as per Igantius Loyola : ie "Black is white" "Up is down" etc.

  23. 8:09 I did not misspeak on unemployment at all. The charts don't lie:

  24. Allow me to pull out the (now) most unoriginal retort in the world to Anon @ 12:32.

  25. The recession is over only because its a depression. When morons start spouting off about all the numbers going up, from what baseline have they gone up from and what caused it? GDP up? Cash for clunkers. Unsustainable. Home sales? 8k government bailout. Unsustainable. Retail sales? This one has not gone up but even if it went up 10% it would still be far lower than the baseline with full employment. This puppy is going down hard and those in denial watching the media will have a painful existence.
