On a beautiful sunny day in 2004, the villagers of Banda Aceh in Sumatra were peacefully minding their own business when out of nowhere a tsunami washed them away:
Substitute the Before photo with America today. The After photo is what America is going to look like in the wake of Zero.
If you think this is hyperbolic then you haven't come to grips with the consequences of hyper-inflation. If you did, you be like what the Banda Aceh folks would have been if they'd had any warning: in panicked flight to higher ground.
And here's the kicker: with hyper-inflation comes hyper-fascism. The worse our economy becomes, the more our freedoms will be taken away.
Folks - this is being done on purpose. If it were all due to sheer stupidity or incompetence on Zero's part, you would expect, as "Skye" observes on the Forum, coin-flip outcomes with at least some of them correct.
But when all actions are taken to disincentivize wealth creation and expand government control, to destroy the worth of the dollar and not increase it, then the damage is malicious and purposeful.
So here is what is really going on: the President of the United States is making a conscious concerted effort to replace capitalism with fascism. And not just in the United States but world-wide.
Here it is straight from the shoulder. There has been some uneasiness expressed by a few ToThePointers regarding my referring to the current President of the United States as “Zero.”
While most of you embrace the term - note that on the Forum, a term has been coined to refer to his followers as “Zeroistas” - I fully acknowledge that such uneasiness comes from good intentions. They feel that an ad hominem is a turn off, and I respect their opinion as honest and heartfelt.
Yet I cannot call this evil man anything else. In fact, “Zero” is the most neutral term I can think of. If there were a term for a massively large negative number - say minus 100 trillion - I would use it instead.
I frankly think that these good-hearted folks have not yet realized the enormity of the nightmare about to envelop our lives. On a beautiful sunny day in 2004, the villagers of Banda Aceh in Sumatra were peacefully minding their own business when out of nowhere a tsunami washed them away:
Substitute the Before photo with America today. The After photo is what America is going to look like in the wake of Zero.

Far beyond the continuous grab for more control over corporate America is Zero’s attempt to control the entire economy through a War on Energy, which he calls cap and trade. Note that the UN is now demanding it control the entire world economy with the same “climate change” justification.
I’m not going to tell you what to do about it. I can tell you some of the things that I am doing - one of which is paying attention to a 23 year-old kid named Jonathan Lebed.
He’s such a child prodigy genius that he was indicted by the SEC for stock manipulation - when he was 15 years old. And he walked away with 500 grand in his pocket because the charges were ridiculous and he had the cojones to fight them - at 15!
Take the time to read the hilarious and enlightening account of Jonathan vs. the SEC in the New York Times. You’ll learn a lot and split your sides at the same time.
In 2005, at age 19, he correctly predicted the meltdown of the real estate market, urging his clients to buy gold at $450. Now, he is saying that gold will go $5,000 - but only if Zero, Tiny Tim, and Bernanke shut off the money spigot immediately.
If they don’t - and they won’t - gold is headed far higher than $5,000.
Since Zero’s election, the Fed has quadrupled the money supply. Trillions of dollars created out of nothing - zero - are about to flood the world. A Dollar Bubble is being created, as Lebed and I believe, that is far larger than the dot.com and real estate bubbles combined.
He concludes:
In the weeks ahead... we could see a massive worldwide rush out of the dollar and into gold. Every day that goes by is one less day we have to purchase gold below $1,000 per oz, and the next time it breaks $1,000 I doubt it will ever come down to these levels again.
So for all of you with parents, grandparents, children, aunts, uncles, and cousins who are sitting there holding dollars, treasuries and bonds... call them right now and tell them they need to get rid of them immediately.
Buy all of the gold and silver you can get... because you will be shocked by how quickly they both go through the roof in the second half of 2009.
Jonathan Lebed’s website is lebed.biz.
Another thing I am going to do is take a serious look at buying homes. A 5% 30-year fixed rate mortgage on a decent home in a decent area is like getting it for free. With the coming hyper-inflation you’ll pay it off for pennies on the dollar.
And yes, what I am also going to continue doing is produce To The Point - to warn you about the most dangerous man on earth.
Again, here it is straight. The President of the United States is far more dangerous to America than any Moslem terrorist. He is far more dangerous to our country than Osama bin Laden, Mahmoud Amadinejad, Hugo Chavez, and Vladimir Putin put together. The financial and political destruction he will wreak upon us will be far greater than any act of terrorism.
So one more thing I am going to do: I will never stop ridiculing him.
Ridicule is often the most devastatingly effective form of criticism. And Zero is excruciatingly sensitive to it. The Gridiron Dinner last Sunday (3/22) is a perfect example.
It’s the media elite’s big annual bash. For 124 years, the tradition has been for the President of the United States to get roasted, joining together with journalists to all poke fun at each other. Every president since Grover Cleveland attended. Zero wimped out.
Instead of taking a roasting, of taking fun made of him like a man, he snuck off and hid behind his kids and the skirts of wife at Camp David. What a limp-wristed pansy.
And what an insult to the media elite. They are mad, they are contemptuous, they have lost respect for him - and now they know his weak spot: he can’t stand being ridiculed.
This is going to be fun to watch. More and more reporters are going to show him less and less respect. Soon they’ll compete with one another in taunting him, to see who can best get under his thin-skin.
Steve Kroft on 60 Minutes is just the start. Taped earlier and broadcast Sunday (3/22), in response to Zero’s weird giggling and childish laughter, Kroft dissed him right to his face by asking:
“You’re sitting here. And you’re laughing. You are laughing about some of these problems. Are people going to look at this and say, ‘I mean, he’s sitting there just making jokes about money?’ How do you deal with — I mean: explain ... Are you punch-drunk?”
More and more, we’ll see cartoons like this, published in major newspapers, portraying him as a retard:
Ridicule is, however, not enough. What also has to be done is to go after the heart of Zero’s justification for power. That is his War on Energy, his War on Carbon Dioxide.
You may have heard or read about Bobby Jindal’s speech at the National Republican Congressional Committee dinner this week (3/23). I was there and watched him give it. The speech was good and engagingly delivered - but it lacked the courage to call the “climate change” agenda a fascist hoax.
This is the single most necessary condition to stop Zero, the Dems, and the Left. To call their climate change agenda a fascist hoax is the single most important thing to say at the Tea Party protests.
The single most important political act conservatives could each do personally would be to write their Congressman and Senator saying they will not vote for them and work actively for their defeat unless they publicly denounce the theory that carbon dioxide causes global warming as a fascist hoax.
The man I call Zero is the greatest threat to America in the world today. He is not a good man, an honest man, a decent man. You cannot trust anything he says. He does not deserve our respect in any manner. The most patriotic pro-American thing we can do is thwart his goals and exploit his vulnerabilities to the hilt at every opportunity.
Those vulnerabilities are serious and deep. Properly exploited, he will be Nixonized and Carterized, his popularity changing to contempt and loathing. He will be a despised laughingstock - and not just in America but around the world. In less than 12 months from now, Zero will be seen world-wide as less than Zero.
BUMP!!!
Every day I vacillate between taking steps to “prepare” and relaxing because on the surface, at least in my life, not much seems very different. Sometimes it’s very surreal.
BUMP
BTTT
yep
Other than 30 days of non perishable food, just how does one prepare for insanity?
That explains it very well, surreal. Exactly how every day is for me. I keep feeling like I'm having a very bad dream and wondering why I can't wake up and end it.
I keep going back and forth between wondering if there is any point in fighting this because there is no use if it's God's plan.....and in the next minute my instincts tell me to keep fighting.
People are undoubtedly concerned, many have been hurt financially and some of those people are quite powerful. If truly the worst is yet to come, and who hasn't been shocked by some of obama's proposals, I find it hard to believe that he'll be able to get 'er done.
We are blessed to be in this country and it seems unfathomable to me that he'd be allowed, if I can phrase it that way, to destroy America.
Very inspiring - thanks for such an eloquent post.
Maalox, lots of Maalox.
I keep thinking the day will come when everybody, MSM and far lefties included, will wake up and realize that Obama is a bungling amateur unfit to run the local landfill, much less the country. Only Soros will be unsurprised, because he wanted an incompetent piker to be elected in the first place, so long as said piker was further left than Marx. But Soros will be unhappy that everybody else figured it out; it won’t be as much fun when everybody else is in on the joke.
But that day isn’t going to happen, is it?
I'm definitely deeply concerned about hyper-inflation. I don't think it will really hit for 2-4 years, but it could be extremely nasty. And yes I am still working off debts (way too slowly!).
Buy canned goods, pray, plant a garden, pray, get emergency equip., pray...
Playing Debil's Advocate for a minute. How does this additional trillions of money supply get into the hands of the populace?
Giving Goldman Sachs, GM or AIG billions upon billions doesn't feed into the economy - the banks are hoarding - the soon-to-be BK companies like GM, are bleeding it, and that too will stop. AIG is just paying off its casino bets (CDS) to the biggest financial players - ie Goldman Sachs (what a shocker) - whereas they continue to hoard it.
I don't see a lot of M&A activity going on from these "investment bankers". Where is the money?
Locally, are banks loaning money right now? My bank isn't, and I've been with them for over 15 years, and have an outstanding business relationship. My bank loan officer told me, "I'm calling all of my customers and telling them to pull their horns in so we'll all get through this.
That doesn't inspire a lot of confidence there does it?
So with 600,000 (give or take a hundred thou) losing their jobs each month - how will these folks get the money to spend irrationally, driving prices up on all asset classes?
If teleprOmpter doesn't start giving away large sums of money (no, $600 or $1200 won't cut it); I'm talking more like $20,000 or $100,000 directly to each man, woman and child, how will this family and the rest of the citizens begin to re-inflate the bubble?
Gotta love the life & times of DR Wheeler
>Other than 30 days of non perishable food, just how does one prepare for insanity?
Suicide pills?
First time is circumstance, second happenstance, third time is enemy action. I hope everyone will wake up too. Unfortunately I don’t think it will happen until its too late.
Plant a garden.
Do you remember Karl Walenda? At 70 some years old he was the head of the 'Flying Walendas.' A family of trapeze and high-wire artists. One day he thought to cross a street in NYC. From the roof of one tall building to the roof of another. He got part way across, slipped and fell.
Until the instant Karl Walenda slipped he was the 'head of the Flying Walendas,' at the top of his game. None better. Within seconds he was a sanitation problem.
Until the instant it changes, your life will seem normal.
Ammo and a firearm, a radio, a cell phone, cash, gasoline, food, a knife, and a place to stay in the hills.
And take the cell phone battery out and use it only in an emergency.
I’m actually hard at work on my garden; I hope it does better than last year, but I have a fairly shady yard. I just can’t believe, though, that people will never wake up to the reality of Obama. The MSM can only cover for him so much, and then the truth has just got to start dribbling out. Maybe people never watch anything but CNN won’t ever figure it out, but I refuse to believe the rest won’t get it sooner or later. One of my good friends who voted for Obama is disgusted with him already. I know it’s anecdotal, and only one person at that, but hey, it’s movement in the right direction.
BTTT!!!
Obama is steadily gaining a reputation of being supremely stupid. Sundry political pushback may stave off the worst, showing once more that the Constitution was built to resist the Constitution hater. When we look at the idiocies of some past presidents, we have to marvel that we’re around at all.
Well said! I agree with you totally, and can’t add a thing to your post. Except maybe that neither Obama nor Soros is big enough or powerful enough to destroy the bedrock of this great nation. The teacher’s unions are, imho, the greatest threat, but I think we can overcome even them. The pendulum tends to swing back and forth, such that after Carter we got Reagan. Well after Obama I hope and pray we’ll get the modern-day equivalent. It can’t happen soon enough!
Bump it up to three months, then six months, and then beyond. Consider how you can prepare for whatever crises/disasters that are most likely in your area. What if you had to evacuate quickly? Are you prepared to do that? What if you had to do without electricity for several days? Do you have access to water if your town’s water system went down or was contaminated? How could you “harden” your place of residence to discourage criminals? How would you communicate with family members if suddenly landlines and cell phones became inoperable? How about medical emergencies?
Believe me there are about a thousand or more ways to prepare and worry!
“Until the instant it changes, your life will seem normal.”

Very true.
If HR875 or S425 get out of comittee and become law and the NIAS becomes madatory then it will be illegal to grow and consume your own food.
We did the Dave thing also a few years ago as have both our sons now, and all of us have been doing all of the above too. My husband has been working hard on finances for retirement only to see our stocks drop like a rock and assets dwindle. Sat. he got an e-mail from the company wanting him to retire.
But my heart really aches for my sons and their young families, my little grandsons futures. There is a very dark cloud hanging over this country and it started from the White House.
The bandwagon is filling fast.
The fact that not much seems to change is proof of the success of the diabolical plan. You are supposed to sit in the water and relax as the temperature slowly rises.
Yep, and the worry part can cause you to make serious mistakes, because what if you had to abandon the whole place? I have my 30 day supply of non perishable food, and lots of prayer, and my water supply is not from a city or town. However, an evacuation plan is also a must....Don’t put all your eggs in one basket is my advice, but do prepare.
Good ideas, and keep that backpack ready at all times, and don’t forget to add a first aid kit, and some iodine (check on internet for water purification with iodine AND PRINT OUT FOR YOUR BACKPACK) a small bottle is light, and used for water purification from creeks or streams.
Be sure that knife is sharp enough, and strong enough to skin and gut that rabbit, and add a foldable lightweight pan to fry that rabbit in. MATCHES, MATCHES, MATCHES to light the fire.
This what I have been saying all along, it’s the NWO coming out of the shadows. When the US is broke and deeply in debt, it cannot interfere with the rest of the world. WE are already in communism, when a President can fire the CEO of a once independent company. The bailouts were a trap, and they fell for it.
The first one was to hold up the banks temporarily and because of the $40-1 that meant they had no liquidity, so they kept it to cover their other loans and depositors. However any monies after that went into the hands of the BANKERS of the Bildeberger/TrilateralCommission/NWO’s around the world to restore funds they lost in their intentional collapse, at taxpayer expense.
Get ready people, it will not get better with our government, and removing freedoms. They gave trampled the Constitution and laugh about, because the left media do not even cover the tea parties, or any complainst about the Zero Admin, or marxist Congress.
Hmmmmm
Thx for the ping.
I’ve thought about evacuation, but we have, literally, no place to go. We live in the Phoenix area, which has only two main highways leading out of it. It would take just minutes for them to become clogged up death traps. In addition, there are so many miles of water-less desert surrounding us, that getting stuck out there could be deadly. Actually, in some ways it kind of stinks to be living here when you begin considering SHTF scenarios that would be best survived by GOOD.
Do you rent or own, and are you able to move? And does your family live in that area? How practical would the move be, such as do you have a job or are you retired, etc. Is your home paid for, or could you swap down to one that is? Age and ability to move is relevant.
There are lots of permanent home swap websites, but those transactions must be done with care and contingencies that that they buy yours according to contract for your contract to be valid, and making sure you are getting the value they want by checking comparison sales or getting an appraisal, and inspection for problems done.
You may not be interested, but may want to pass these on to someone else:
http://www.ree.com
http://www.goswap.org
http://www.domuswap.com
http://www.U-Exchange.org
and there’s The Property Exchange, but don’t remember website address...There are write ups on how it works on each one. People swap for all kinds of things, even RV’s, boats, land and other homes upsizing or downsizing by paying difference in cash/mortgage.
Anyway, it may be you are best where you are, and that depends on your circumstances...and family. Blessings.
You know, I’ve come to realize that NO ONE knows exactly what sort of S is going to hit the fan in any given area. It may turn out that our neighborhood in our particular city will be the safest place to be.
It’s very possible, and moving is a big chore, it’s expensive, and if you are comfortable where you are...then yes, you may be safe as anyone else. Like I said, it depends on each person’s circumstance. I took opportunity to post those website, as others may be interested or did not know that was available. Blessings to you.
Also, in being prepared to leave your home in an emergency could mean just going to someone else’s home, or a particular place. Maybe getting together with a neighbor or other friend that if one of you is bothered to point of being in danger that you could go to each other’s home...or a group. It doesn’t always mean leaving the area.
If you take meds and can get extras do it, or if you can save some for emergencies...that would be good...like having extra tylenol for headaches or pain on hand.
