A link passed on to me at another thread ...

I am thinking we could be in really deep

and

they put a Marxist in charge.

Last week I told a friend I had pulled everything out of the market. Putting it in metals and food. Barter items like powedered milk, coffee, tea, rice. Giving family members veggie seeds for Victory Gardens. The friend told me I was being a bit extreme... “it isn’t going to be that bad.” Along with the comment somebody has to pay for it...

I told him, “I paid everything I am required to pay.”

"We are semi-fortunate as there is only my husband, the dog and me in the house. I feel for everyone who has whole families to care for and feed."

"We have bought so much stuff from Sam’s Club in the past weeks we proably have paid their electric bill."

Me and four dogs. Ditto on the electric bill...My neighbor picked up their (Sam's) mtg payment, LOL.

Do you own your home or have land that you own? Foreclosures, insolvent business, etc. and unemployment will continue to grow. It will move to municipalities who will increases costs and/or cut services. Can you hold onto your home if you do not own it? Will it make sense to hold on to it if your balance sheet looks like the banks and business. In other words. Banks make decisions based on what is good for them and their stockholders, business makes decisions based on what is good for the business (and lays off people if need be), do private citizens make decisions in the same manner when they find themselves upside down in mortgages they will never recover the lost equity in? There are good people paying their bills that will fall if the worst is to come.

Ah - I see that you are one of those #4 types. Don’t worry
Comrade - a bit of time at school will bring you to your senses.

And - if it were my FR page I would get rid of the photo of the house and boat with the warehouse name in the background. Seriously. You can keep the photo of your wife up there though! That is your wife right? She looks just like that one actress! ;)

Not a bad idea. Ditto on the powdered milk.

Excellent overview of Goldman Sachs. Interactive as well as the recent topics on the right.

See all the players who are stealing your money.

MORE tin foil over here please!

And the economic collapse could have been fairly well determined I suppose. We had been on our way since late 2007.

However, all of these things don’t seem too far-fetched in light of the ever-growing bailouts (oh I know, the gov’t can just print more money) and Obama taking office.

I have been buying seeds that are currently available. Those are going as Christmas gifts to family and close friends. Sure a fruit gift basic is great, but the gift of food seeds is better.

Sounds like they knew the collapse was coming, but were trying to keep it under wraps as long as possible - hopefully until after the election.

Well, it would certainly be interesting to know if our members of Congress got out of the stock market conveniently before the bear emerged.

Probably just the Jewish ones.

Hmmm...I don’t see Mena or Barry Seal in there, so the whole thing falls apart.

This is the Military as opposed to National Guard.

That isn’t really a BLACK helicopter. It just looks that way when it’s silhouetted against the sky.

Actually, as you can easily see from the chart, it’s red.
