As the details of this phony continue to surface not one congresscritter cries for his impeachment and removal. Meanwhile, the entire world laughs at the demise of a once great nation who has not only lost its will, but has lost practically its entire manufacturing base due to the central socialist government.

we have already had an economic crash hello
I HATE ZERO! ! ! ! ! ! !
For quite a while, I’ve thought that potential of ‘collapse’ is actually real and on its way in the near future.
However, in seeing the last 4 years of Obama and his destructive policies, outright creation of money out of thin air by the Fed to dump in MBSs and T-Bills (to legitimize the deficit and debt), massive increases in SSDI, SSI, SNAP, WICs, EITC, Section 8 and all the other entitlements with no apparent effect on the Stock Market or by international entities, I really wonder.
Sure, there would be a collapse one day if a source of real money cannot be found, and I’ve come to the conclusion that his end-game is total redistribution - he will confiscate IRAs, 401Ks, Roth IRAs, savings over $200K or so, and any other real assets (i.e., land, real estate, etc.). He will do this to the howls of approval by entitlement leeches, illegals made legal, by Democrats and liberals everywhere, and not a damned thing will be done about it. Those affected by the seizures will be given a token increase chit in their Social Security, and the retribution slate will be clean. Until the next time when the only option open to him and those like him is real slavery.
Facts later, if at all.
All Bought or Compromised. With few exceptions.
No other explanation.
Hoard nonperishable food, coffee, potable water, toilet paper, tobacco, soap, and most important of all, guns and ammo, perhaps knives and machetes, and, so that you don’t give your position away - a crossbow and bolts.
While what is said might happen, it will not be general. The real terrible problems will be in the very large cities.
In much of the country there will be some disruption but life will proceed. The people will muddle through.
The debt is a result of American companies leaving America and making everything at 49% ownership (no ownership in effect) in China.
It is also a result of irresponsible American spending.
But we really need to bring back American manufacturing.
American “owners” don’t own manufacturing in China. They merely receive a portion of the profits.
America really, really needs to stop selling out America’s future, and bring back American manufacturing.
Now.

I don’t think things will get much worse. We are being save by energy production against the will of the current government. When we get a pro business government we will boom.
Along with lots of other steps one must take,possession of silver and lead are essential. No matter what anyone tells you precious metals always have value; people traded with other prisoners with silver and gold for food in the concentration camps.
Unless one has tiny gold coins, it would be hard to spend them, silver OSA more reasonable unit of value for ordinary exchanges. Lead is almost equally essential.
He’s describing sudden, visible acts of tyranny and lawlessness. He’s forgetting about quiet little confiscations already on the books — Obamacare includes a new specific “Medicare” tax on the sale of your house if your profit is above a certain amount, for example. It hasn’t gotten a lot of press because it doesn’t affect a lot of people.
But consider what happens in the inevitable years of inflation or hyperinflation: that tax will quietly affect more and more people, as it’s cast from the same mold of the Alternative Minimum Tax.
No doubt in the next multi-thousand-page “law” we will find similar little gems, such as a new specific tax on stock sales, etc.
This is the real game, not the game described of sudden, visible changes that affect everybody all at once.
We will need to form a group to monitor his whereabouts and make certain he cannot escape his due reward. That includes his “helpers”.

Does any of this sound familiar?
How to create a socialist state by Saul Alinsky
( Who, by the way, was Obama’s political guru and mentor in his formative political years in Chicago. )
Saul David Alinsky (January 30, 1909 - June 12, 1972) was an American community organizer and writer. He is generally considered to be the founder of modern community organizing. He is often noted for his book Rules for Radicals.
There are 8 levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a socialist state.
The first is the most important.
1) Healthcare: Control healthcare and you control the people.
2) Poverty: Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.
3) Debt: Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
4) Gun Control: Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.
5) Welfare: Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income).
6) Education: Take control of what people read and listen to take control of what children learn in school.
7) Religion: Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.
8) Class Warfare: Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.
