The Next Economic Collapse Will Be So Horrifying In The U.S.

Latest financial news as we head closer to the economic collapse... 

Right now, we are witnessing a truly historic collapse of the economy, and yet most Americans do not understand what is going on.  One of the biggest reasons why the American people do not understand what is happening to the economy is because our politicians and the mainstream media are not telling the truth.  Barack Obama and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke keep repeating the phrase “economic recovery” over and over, and this is really confusing for most Americans because things sure don’t seem to be getting much better where they live.  There are millions upon millions of Americans that are sitting at home on their couches right now wondering why they lost their jobs and why nobody will hire them.

Millions of others are wondering why the only jobs they can get are jobs that a high school student could do.  Families all across America are wondering why it seems like their wages never go up but the price of food and the price of gas continue to skyrocket.  We are facing some very serious long-term economic problems in this country, and we need to educate the American people about why the collapse of the economy is happening.

If the American people don’t understand why they are losing their jobs, why they are losing their homes and why they are drowning in debt then they are going to keep on doing all of the same things that they have been doing.  They will also keep sending the same idiot politicians back to Washington to represent us.  There are some fundamental things about the economy that every American should know.
The American people need to be shocked out of their entertainment-induced stupor long enough to understand what is really going on and what needs to be done to solve our nightmarish economic problems.  If we do not wake up enough Americans in time, the economic collapse that is coming could tear this nation to shreds.
The U.S. economy was once the greatest economic machine in modern world history.  It was truly a wonder to behold.  It worked so well that entire generations of Americans came to believe that America would enjoy boundless prosperity indefinitely.

But sadly, prosperity is not guaranteed for any nation.  Over the past several decades, some very alarming long-term economic trends have developed that are absolutely destroying the economy.  If dramatic changes are not made soon, a complete and total economic collapse will be unavoidable.
Unfortunately, the American people will never agree to fundamental changes to our economic and financial systems unless they are fully educated about what is causing our problems.  We have turned our backs on the principles of our forefathers and the principles of those that founded this nation.  We have rejected the ancient wisdom that was handed down to us.
It has been said that those that sow the wind, shall reap the whirlwind.
We are about to experience the consequences of decades of really bad decisions.
Hopefully we can get the American people to wake up.(source)

Ponzi scheme: The real reason global markets are crashing

The Grand Scheme of Things...The economy is collapsing and the stock market is crashing... again. Is this crash the big one, or is it just another hiccup on the slow road to certain doom? Should we stampede, or should we continue to graze?

For those who've shouldered the responsibility of understanding how our government and economy truly work, this new, latest economic collapse, is not in any way unexpected, but rather a predictable certainty in a long train of abuses by government and Wall Street. You see, the economic system is designed to fail. Collapse is in its DNA. At its core, our fiat-based, reserve-currency, derivates-driven, interest rate-manipulated economy is a criminal enterprise that is explicitly designed to fail at offering human kind an equitable, just and common-sensical way to facilitate exchange. However, it is very well designed to transfer wealth from the middle class to the wealthiest of the world's elite in crisis after financial crisis until the whole thing collapses. It is engineered to implode.

To most, it may appear to be failing, but in reality, the crash of the stock market and the instant vaporization of trillions of fiat dollars of wealth is a built-in feature of the greatest heist in human history. The economy is a Ponzi scheme; a well-known, very calculated method of extracting wealth from others. It can be done on a small scale, or it can be scaled up to rob entire nations, entire civilizations even, or, as we see developing right now, perhaps even an entire planet's worth of wealth.

For simplicity, here's how Wikipedia defines it:

"A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation where the operator, an individual or organization, pays returns to its investors from new capital paid to the operators by new investors, rather than from profit earned by the operator."

In other words, to play the game you pitch in money and then tell other people to play the game with you. When enough new people pitch in, the earlier people are paid out with money pitched in by the newer people, and everyone is then told that the company is a great success, the evidence for this being that people are getting paid. More people buy in in order to be part of the success, and the scheme metastasizes.

An Italian criminal born in 1882, Charles Ponzi is the sub-genius of the Ponzi scheme. His story is an exaggerated version of the typical 'crime doesn't pay,' tale, where a crafty criminal dies penniless after winning big, losing big, and spending much of his life in jail. The allure of living in luxury with quick money taken from others is too great a prize for some:

"In the 1920's, Ponzi promised investors a whopping 50% return in 45 days, or 100% in 90 days on of all things, international postal coupons, which he never actually purchased. He earned $15 million and became a millionaire in only six months. When Ponzi was caught one year later, investors received a mere $5 million back. He was charged with 86 counts of mail fraud and sentenced to 5 years. During his time in federal prison, he was prosecuted again in Massachusetts, but Ponzi claimed double jeopardy and his case went to the Supreme Court. He was then sentenced to seven to nine years in state prison. After Ponzi was released, he launched another scheme, where he sold real estate that was literally underwater. Not surprisingly, the namesake schemer was jailed yet again, and ultimately died penniless in Brazil, working as a translator."

In recent years Wall Street billionaire Bernie Madoff conned $65 or so billion dollars from investors in what is the largest Ponzi scheme on record to date, although that does not figure into account that the global economy itself is a Ponzi scheme, a tremendous fake.

In a scam like this, there is never any value created by the company, there is no legitimate product or service, and there is no legitimate profit. When new people stop signing up, or too many people want out at the same time, the money flow seizes up and the ensuing crash exposes the scam for what it was... theft.

"To avoid having too many investors reclaim their "profits," Ponzi schemes encourage them to stay in the game and earn even more money. The "investing strategies" used are vague and/or secretive, which schemers claim is to protect their business. Then all they need to do is tell investors how much they are making periodically, without actually providing any real returns."

The art and craft involved in managing a good Ponzi scheme is in how well the perpetrators can position themselves for the inevitable crash and bust before it actually happens.

While things are going relatively well for all in the economy, the financial elite spend their time and money buying up land, industry, war materials, yachts and anything else you can imagine. When the economy finally cracks completely, they are prepared to survive, and perhaps hoping to usher in a new world, maybe of the kind envisioned by the Georgia Guidestones.

So, is this crash the big one? It could be. It might be. Time will tell, but the con-artists behind the magic curtain are out of tricks to keep all of this afloat for very much longer. Quantitative easing doesn't even work anymore, so who knows what tricks the central bankers will try to pul out of their sleeves. Better be prepared for it at some point, anyhow.

Fortunately, though, many people around this world are moving into more sustainable ways of living, more sustainable ways of being, and more equitable ways of trading with one another. At the same time, many people are waking up to the realization that the corruption in the economy is the cornerstone of 'the matrix' and must go. Something major must change in our culture, and while the specter of economic collapse is frightening, it is also a sign that a major opportunity for the liberation of human kind is close at hand.

In the mean time, we are being scammed, and Charles Ponzi would be proud of the work he's inspired.

ALARMING WARNING: FINANCIAL CRISIS 2015 / DOLLAR COLLAPSE – CIA Insider Interview

Project Prophecy 2.0 Predicts Terrorist Attacks , Fall of Dollar…
And what many Americans do not know is that their findings were dramatically different than the conclusions reached by the government’s 9/11 Commission.
The CIA determined that bets against the stocks of American and United Airlines reached dramatically heightened levels in the days before Al-Qaeda operatives hijacked the three planes that would be used in the attacks on the Twin Towers and Pentagon.
The fourth plane was downed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania after passengers overtook the terrorists.
From their investigation, the CIA came to an important conclusion.
Using the financial markets, they could identify imminent threats to our national security from terrorists, rival nations, and from internal weaknesses lurking inside our economy.
This led to the launch of a sensitive operation called Project Prophecy. And its mission was clear.
Prevent another 9/11. And it may have done just that.

The system built from Project Prophecy proved its accuracy on August 7, 2006 when it detected the warning signs of an impending terrorist attack.
Three days later in London, a plot to blow up 10 U.S. passenger jets was thwarted. And 24 Pakistani extremists were arrested.
However, one of Project Prophecy’s architects is now warning that the next attack is about to strike us.
Only this time it is going to come from within.
Jim Rickards is a 3-decade veteran of Wall Street’s biggest investment firms and hedge funds. He also helped build the technology infrastructure known as “the brains” of the NASDAQ.
And he is the CIA’s Financial Threat and Asymmetric Warfare Advisor.
In an exclusive interview with Money Morning, Rickards revealed that he and his team have detected a series of dangerous economic signals that predict a fast-approaching $100 trillion meltdown.
And they believe it will lead to an event more severe than the 1930s.

Editor’s Note: Money Morning has released their exclusive interview with Jim Rickards to the public. And it’s a must-see for every American who is concerned about our country and their financial security.
“Everybody knows we have a dangerous level of debt. Everybody knows the Fed has recklessly printed trillions of dollars. These are secrets to no one,” Rickards said in the interview.

STOCK MARKET Heading For A COLLAPSE in SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2015 ? Global Reset Coming ?

Dow is now down more than 1300 points from the peak of the market. warning about a stock market crash in 2015, and after today I am sure that a lot more people will start jumping on the bandwagon. In particular, tech stocks are getting absolutely hammered lately. The Nasdaq has fallen close to 3.5% over the past two days alone, and it has dropped below its 200-day moving average. The Russell 2000 (a small-cap stock market index) is also now trading below its 200-day moving average. What all of this means is that the stock market crash of 2015 has already begun. The only question left to answer at this point is how bad it will ultimately turn out to be.

When stocks were booming, tech stocks were leading the way up. This scenario would be bad enough for the emerging economies. But now China has devalued the yuan to stimulate its exports and thus its economy at the expense of others. And one thing has become clear on Wednesday: these struggling economies that compete with China are going to protect their exports against Chinese encroachment. Hot money is already fleeing emerging markets. Higher rates in the US will drain more capital out of countries that need it the most. It will pressure emerging market currencies and further increase the likelihood of a debt crisis in countries whose governments, banks, and corporations borrow in a currency other than their own.

Stewart Rhodes Calls For Emergency Summits By State, In Preparation For Economic Collapse

Founder and Director of Oath Keepers Stewart Rhodes urges all Oath Keeper chapters across the country to hold an Emergency Summit by state, in order to prepare for an economic collapse. ‘Assume the worst’ and formulate support teams. Food storage the most crucial.
These days, you just have to be mildly paying attention to what’s going on around you to know that economic collapse is a very real threat. All you need do is watch the evening news to get more reminders that our country’s economy is still failing, despite what all the politicians want you to believe.

The IMF Just Confirmed The Nightmare Scenario For Central Banks Is Now In Play

The most important piece of news announced today was also, as usually happens, the most underreported: it had nothing to do with US jobs, with the Fed's hiking intentions, with China, or even the ongoing "1998-style" carnage in emerging markets. Instead, it was the admission by ECB governing council member Ewald Nowotny that what we said about the ECB hitting a supply brick wall, was right. Specifically, earlier today Bloomberg quoted the Austrian central banker that the ECB asset-backed securities purchasing program "hasn’t been as successful as we’d hoped."
Why? "It’s simply because they are running out. There are simply too few of these structured products out there."
So six months later, the ECB begrudgingly admitted what we said in March 2015, in "A Complete Preview Of Q€ — And Why It Will Fail", was correct. Namely this:

... the ECB is monetizing over half of gross issuance (and more than twice net issuance) and a cool 12% of eurozone GDP. The latter figure there could easily rise if GDP contracts and Q€ is expanded, a scenario which should certainly not be ruled out given Europe’s fragile economic situation and expectations for the ECB to remain accommodative for the foreseeable future. In fact, the market is already talking about the likelihood that the program will be expanded/extended.

... while we hate to beat a dead horse, the sheer lunacy of a bond buying program that is only constrained by the fact that there simply aren’t enough bonds to buy, cannot possibly be overstated.

Among the program’s many inherent absurdities are the glaring disparity between the size of the program and the amount of net euro fixed income issuance and the more nuanced fact that the effects of previous ECB easing efforts virtually ensure that Q€ cannot succeed.

(Actually, we said all of the above first all the way back in 2012, but that's irrelevant.)
So aside from the ECB officially admitting that it has become supply*constrained even with security prices at near all time highs, why is this so critical?
Readers will recall that just yesterday we explained why "Suddenly The Bank Of Japan Has An Unexpected Problem On Its Hands" in which we quoted BofA a rates strategist who said that "now that GPIF’s selling has finished, the focus will be on who else is going to sell. Unless Japan Post Bank sells JGBs, the BOJ won’t be able to continue its monetary stimulus operations."
We also said this:

"in 6-9 months, following the next major market swoon when everyone is demanding more action from the BOJ, "suddenly" pundits will have discovered the biggest glitch in the ongoing QE monetization regime, namely that the BOJ simply can not continue its current QE program, let along boost QE as many are increasingly demanding, unless it finds willing sellers, and having already bought everything the single biggest holder of JGBs, the GPIF, had to sell, the BOJ will next shakedown the Post Bank, whose sales of JPY45 trillion in JGBs are critical to keep Japan's QQE going.

The sale of that amount, however, by the second largest holder of JGBs, will only last the BOJ for the next 3 months. What next? Which other pension fund will have the massive holdings required to keep the BOJ's going not only in 2016 but also 2017 and onward. The answer: less and less.

Once again to be accurate, the first time we warned about the biggest nightmare on deck for the BOJ (and ECB, and Fed, and every other monetizing central bank) was back in October 2014, when we cautioned that the biggest rish was a lack of monetizable supply.
We cited Takuji Okubo, chief economist at Japan Macro Advisors in Tokyo, who said that at the scale of its current debt monetization, the BOJ could end up owning half of the JGB market by as early as in 2018. He added that "The BOJ is basically declaring that Japan will need to fix its long-term problems by 2018, or risk becoming a failed nation."

14 Things You Must Do Today to Survive the Coming Economic Collapse

Yesterday, The Common Sense Show issued a breaking news alert as to the possible use of multiple IED type of devices based upon the reports of a highly credible source(s). The Common Sense Show is pleased to announce that arrests have been made in conjunction with this event and eventually I will be able to provide more details.
If such an event ever came to fruition, it could potentially paralyze this nation and bring the economy to a standstill. Subsequently, the grocery store shelves could be empty within two days and food riots would likely commence by sundown of the second day. All Americans would instantly be in danger. Local law enforcement would be overwhelmed. What would be your chances of survival? Yesterday, I wrote about the fact that FEMA has conducted research studies on America’s level of preparedness and the news is not good. FEMA concluded that 72% of all Americans are not prepared to survive what is coming In other words, when society begins to fragment, you and your fellow preppers are outnumbered by a 3 to 1 margin.
Are you prepared for 3 out of 4 of your neighbors climbing through your windows in search of life-saving supplies?

The FEMA Preparedness Reports

In response to concerns about strengthening the nation’s ability to protect its population and way of life (i.e., security) and ability to adapt and recover from emergencies (i.e., resilience), the President of the United States issued Presidential Policy Directive 8: National Preparedness(PPD-8).
PPD-8 is a directive for the Department of Homeland Security to coordinate a comprehensive campaign to encourage Americans to practice national preparedness. Despite efforts byFEMA and other organizations to educate American citizens on becoming prepared, growth in specific preparedness behaviors has been limited. Government programs to this end are nearly nonexistent.
I have spent the past week illustrating how a coming economic collapse is unavoidable and how the elite have conspired to steal as many of your assets as possible prior to the collapse. This article presents  some common sense things one can do which could increase the chances of surviving a major societal meltdown resulting from an economic collapse. If you have any doubts as to what is coming, I strongly encourage you to read what I have written about on this topic over the past several months. Even Ray Charles could see that our economy will  not be around much longer in its present form. Your can read these storieshere, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here,
It is always best to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. For the purposes of this article, it is possible that society will not totally collapse even if the dollar does. However, large segments of societies always collapse when an economic collapse happens.  Surviving the worst case scenario is the purpose behind what will be covered here.

1. The Creation of a Pseudo-Identity

It may be necessary to become invisible in the event you think you believe that your name could be on a (Red) list because roundups will usually occur in dire situations. Therefore, the creation of a pseudo-identity could become very important.

2. It Takes Money to Prepare

If you have read the articles at the above links, you should have concluded that it is the height of stupidity to leave your life savings in an institution that is planning to steal from you. You need to divert your cash, other than the ability to pay basic bills, in preparation for what is coming.

Getting your money out of the bank has become an art form and you need to be careful. There is a barrier to your ability to procure some of these life-saving and life-extending supplies. Right now, you do not have full access to your money.
As you move to withdraw the bulk of your money, there are three federal banking laws that you should be cognizant of, namely, Cash Transaction Report (CTR), a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) and structuring.

Cash Transaction Reports

Federal law requires that the bank file a report based upon any withdrawal or deposit of $10,000 or more on any single given day.The law was designed to put a damper on money laundering, sophisticated counterfeiting and other federal crimes.
To remain in compliance with the law, financial institutions must obtain personal identification, information about the transaction and the social security number of the person conducting the transaction.
Before proceeding with the planned withdrawal of your money, I would strongly suggest that you read the following federal guidelines as it relates to CTR’s as produced by the The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). All the federal regulations contained in this article are elucidated in this series of federal reports.

Structuring and SAR

There will undoubtedly be some geniuses whose math ability will tell them that all they have to do is to withdraw $9,999.99 and the bank and its protector, the federal government will be none the wiser. It is not quite that simple. The bank is required to file a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) which serves to notify the federal government of an individual’s attempt to structure deposits or withdrawals by circumventing the $10,000 reporting requirement.
Structuring transactions to prevent a CTR from being reported can result in imprisonment for not more than five years and/or a fine of up to $250,000. If structuring involves more than $100,000 in a twelve month period or is performed while violating another law of the federal government, the penalty is doubled.

Enforcement

Much like the enforcement of our tax laws, the federal government’s enforcement of its banking laws as it relates to CTR’s, SAR’s and subsequent structuring is quite draconian. Civilian asset forfeiture laws come into play. The government can seize your bank accounts while it determines if a crime has been committed. The government can literally seize your assets in perpetuity without an order of the court. Of course, you could try and sue but you will be up against the deep pockets of the federal government and the case could take years. By the time your case is decided, the financial banking crisis that you are so desperately trying to avoid by withdrawing your money, could be over.  So, proceed with caution.

Withdrawing Your Money From the Bank

The best way to avoid getting your money caught in the bank in the midst of a bank run would be to not let the lion’s share of your money ever cross the bank. The simplest way to accomplish this is to prevent any form of deposit from going automatically into your account, as much as it is possible.
Secondly, you need to begin to pay cash for everything. Let’s say that every 30 days, Bob cashes his check at the bank from his work worth $5,000 net pay. Bob leaves just enough in the bank to be able to conduct normal banking business. Bob walks out of the bank every month with the majority of the cash from his check. Bob should begin to pay cash for as much as he can, such as eating out, paying the electric bill (pay the bill in person), buying groceries, etc. When it becomes necessary to make a “big ticket” purchase, Bob could temporarily leave more in the bank to cover the writing of a check.
You would also be wise to open multiple banking accounts ranging from the big five megabanks to your local credit unions. You could withdraw much smaller amounts until the sum total of your accounts is greatly diminished and is in your possession. To open the accounts, simply write a personal check from your home bank. Of course, in these cases, the bank could hold the check for 15-30 days.
I cannot promise you that if you become the target of federal investigators, that you will not have your every financial move scrutinized and the feds will eventually discover the aggregate patterns of withdrawal. People who I interviewed told me that they believe that the federal government is in the process of getting the banking computers to “talk” to each other in a way that would reveal structuring, but that technology is not yet online.

If you ever become the target of a federal investigation, do not, under any circumstances, allow yourself to be interviewed by federal officials without an attorney present. In many cases, people go to jail and pay huge fines, not because they have committed a federal crime, but because federal officials state that they have lied or misled them. And if you do not have an attorney present, it is your word versus the federal government.

There are other sources besides banks that you can tap into for money which can be used to prepare for what is coming.

4o1K’s, IRA, et al

If you were 100% convinced of an imminent crash, you would be foolish not to take your money out. However, the prepayment penalty of 50% is steep if you withdraw your funds before you are 59.5 years old.
If you are retiring soon, take the lump sum option and convert all of these retirement monies to survival supplies and gold which you will need as the world emerges from the crash.
The moral of the story is to become as liquid as possible, from a cash perspective. Getting access to your money is only the first part of being prepared to survive an economic crash.

3. Make a List

Buy a good prepper book. Holly Deyo is an excellent source for this information (www.standdeyo.com). In the interim, procure your food, water, guns, ammo and home security adjustments.  If you do not have a big dog, consider obtaining a pair. These animals will be your companion, home security system and ally if someone attempts to breach your home with bad intent. Of course, you will have to store dog food as well.
Sit down and construct a list of what you will need after reading a good prepper book.
Make all of you purchases in cash! You do not want to let the wrong people know what you are up to.

4. Rural Vs. Urban

We have to live our lives for today and it may not be possible to move to a rural area because of your job. However, one survivalist that I was speaking with estimates that the rate of survival for a country in economic chaos would be 10 times higher for rural residents as opposed to urban residents. Consider buying a place in an isolated area and commuting to work in the interim.

5. Pay Off Your Mortgage and Car Loans

If you have a CD, a 401k or any other long-term investment, you might want to consider taking the penalty and executing a withdrawal and apply what’s left of the principal, usually about 50% of the original value, and paying down your major debts.
After an economic collapse, you most likely will not have a job and your retirement and savings will likely be wiped out and confiscated. That is why it would be wise to pay down your debt while you can afford to do so because after the collapse, there will still be foreclosures and repossessions and if you and your family survive, you could be on the street if you cannot pay your bills.

6. Buy Gold and Silver While You Can Afford It

Goldman Sachs has been shorting gold. The elite have been hording gold as have the BRICS. These entities are telling you, by action, what medium of exchange is going to be of value following the collapse that is coming.

Storing gold and silver is an economic survival strategy which will pay dividends after the smoke begins to clear in the post-collapse era.

7. Practice Austerity Before Austerity Is Imposed On You

It is critical to immediately eliminate all unnecessary expenses. Give yourself some operating capital. You may be able to purchase a bug-out residence in a rural area. You will certainly be able to afford more survival gear.
In order to increase your immediate cash flow, start an at-home business. Start a business which has virtually no upfront and startup costs.  Even if you are not able to generate much income, you will create a legal tax evasion strategy in which you can legally deduct many of your present activities and expenses (e.g. mileage, the purchase of any office supply, etc.) including survival gear.

8. Create and Store Your Own Food

With regard to storing food, you need to do so immediately. I recommend storing two years worth of food. However, you need to master the art of growing food inside your home. There are plenty of resources which can teach you how to do that. However, you would be wise if you would create a hiding place in which you can store food and water safely in a hidden location.  If you are ever robbed, you will not have exhausted your food supplies.  You are most likely to be robbed by FEMA or one of their mercenary groups (e.g. Academia) during the beginning of the crisis because food and water will be used as weapons to control you. I am personally aware of FEMA going to selected homeowners to catalogue their reserve food and water supplies. Remember, water is sunlight and temperature sensitive. There are plenty of prepper manuals that you can consult for instructions on how to meet these needs. The time to do these things is yesterday.
The biggest threat to survival is death due to dehydration and starving to death.  Contaminated water will also pose a threat. There are plenty of places to purchase large drums and obtain water tablets for water purification purposes.  Obtain a pair of water filters in case you have to go mobile to survive.
Finally, learn to grow your own food within your residence. Your garden will likely be raided by humans and hungry animals alike. There are plenty of prepper manuals which can teach you how to accomplish this task.

9. Personal Supplies

Of course you will need toothpaste, toiletries, eating utensils, feminine hygiene supplies, etc. For a complete list of personal items see Steve Quayles list on his website.

10. Horde Medicines and Medical Supplies

 If you or your family has a chronic health condition, it is critical that you have 6 months to a year in medicine. Also, you should research natural alternatives to treatment for health conditions in case you are not able to meet this goal due to the inability to obtain prescriptions. Don’t forget to obtain some pain medication and antibiotics in case of unforeseen emergencies.  Make a trip to Mexico and sneak across medication in old pill bottles in order to escape detection by the Border Patrol who will ask you if you obtained medication in Mexico when you come back across the border.
If you can safely ration your existing medication doses, do so and store the excesses. Make sure you also have a first aid kit. Take a First Aid class including CPR at your local fire station.
Some are thinking that this is a lot of work. My response would be, how bad do you want you and your family to survive?

11. Guns and Ammunition

Regardless of your moral convictions, ask yourself if you want your family to survive.

Buy your guns off the books from private parties and at gun shows. “Keep guns for show and guns for go”. In other words, have a safe location that you can bury guns so that when gun confiscation begins, you will not be left totally defenseless.
America needs to not only create safe and secure homes, but to create as many Warsaw ghettos as possible (look it up). We need to make ourselves a hard country to conquer and occupy. We cannot stop a treasonous leader from handing off the country to some foreign entity (e.g. the UN). However, occupation of America should be problematic for the blue-helmet wearing Russians, Chinese and other proxy forces training on our soil to occupy us.
It is recommended that you have 3 types of weapons: (1) pistols for close in fighting; (2) shotguns for defense of the entrance to your home; and, (3) a rifle with a scope in order to fight back against long-range snipers that do not want to storm your home because you appear to be prepared. Immediately, obtain weapons instruction for you and your family, firearms training and then practice!  Conduct mock raids on your residence so that you can see your vulnerabilities. An armed populace makes a people more feared by an abusive government.
Do not forget about gas masks for each member of your family and make sure to store extras. If you have the means to obtain body armor, do so now, because Congress is preparing to outlaw the private use of body armor.

12. Prepare to Survive in the Raw Elements and Build a Way of Life

It is possible that you can learn to survive in the raw elements without heating and central air conditioning. You may not have lights. Obtain flashlights, many batteries and a hand crank radio.
Make sure you have clothes befitting all weather that you may encounter because a crisis that begins in January, may not be over by August.
Take a weekend and pretend the grid is down. This will allow you to see firsthand what supplies you will need. When should you perform this drill? There is no time like the present.
To people with generators, congratulations on your foresight. However, if you are the only house on the block with lights, how long do you think it will be until you have unwanted visitors with bad intent?
Get in shape, begin to walk, jog or run. The better shape you are in, the better.
Don’t forget about procuring non-electronic forms of entertainment. This should include board games and educational materials for your children. You will want to establish some normalcy for the sake of your children. You are preparing to adopt a new way of life. Make the new life worth living.
I would also recommend that every personal library contain The Constitution of the United States. After the chaos subsides, we will need to rebuild. You will not want to live in a “might makes right” society.

13. For Goodness Sake, Do Not Tell Anyone

If your four adjacent neighbors broach the topic of preparedness, gauge the situation and then make an informed decision. If your neighbors are on board with preparing, that will help you form a defensive perimeter and a mutual alliance pact. Otherwise, tell nobody of your preparation plans. Do not tell your friends, family members, and co-workers. Make your preparations in cash or cashier’s checks as much as possible. Limit the paper trail to you. You do not want the government to know that you are prepared because you could be the first one on your block that is visited at 3AM. You and your mate should prepare in stealth. Kids talk and so do their friends.

14.  PRAY!

Survival is never guaranteed, salvation is! And do not forget one of your most important resources, your Bible. In a post-collapse America, it is likely that a religion will be forced upon the survivors and that religion will not be Christianity.

Conclusion

In an upside-down world in which the banks legally own your money, getting your money away from these criminal banks has become an art form. I cannot promise you that you will be able to retrieve all of your assets. However, I can promise you that if you do not act, you will lose everything and you will lack needed supplies to weather what is coming.
I would strongly suggest that you keep your gas tank filled and you have plenty of cash, food and ammunition on hand. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Here is the dynamics in play across the world.

• Growing populations around the world, competing for global resources
• Shrinking arable farming land and lessening quality of soils
• Rising salt-water sea levels and decreased availability of fresh water
• Sovereign debt rapidly increasing to the point of economic collapse in the future
• Rising prices of food around the world
• Strain on government resources and budgets to provide aid to the poor and unemployed
• A growing entitlement mentality that “I deserve my government benefits”, rather than self-reliance
• Shrinking size of police departments around the US country, due to constraints of state and local budgets
• A growing, pent-up angry in lower-socioeconomic groups, due to disparity between poor and rich
• In the United States, there are pending cuts to food stamps and other welfare aid

Add up all these elements and the result in a future where civil unrest (riots) are more likely.  When people can’t feed their families.  When people lose hope.  When community policing becomes ineffective.  When corruption prevails.   When economic decline continues.  As governments around the world, including the United States, enact laws that reduce individual freedoms.   The result and outcome will be increased numbers of riots.

How to prepare ahead of a riot

• Preparing for a riot is like preparing for other emergencies, except you have a higher focus on crime prevention and defense of your neighborhood.
• The first preparation is to live in a good neighborhood.   If your neighborhood is dominated by welfare/food stamp recipients, already has crime problems, is known to have street gangs or drug trafficking, MOVE!  Bad neighborhoods will be the flash points for riots.  I’d rather live in a small house in a good neighborhood than in the best house in a bad neighborhood.
• Get to know your neighbors.  Reach out and befriend your neighbors.  Invite some neighbors over for a card game, barbecue, an adult beverage, or cup of tea.  Having strong links in your neighborhood is the first basis to protecting your neighborhood.  It takes a neighborhood to protect a neighborhood.

• Have defensive firearms.  Get training.  Get your concealed carry license.  Get your firearms purchase permit (depending on your local laws).   Recommend that each adult have a defensive semi-automatic pistol.  Every household should have a shotgun.   Every capable adult should have a semi-automatic carbine.  Stock up on gun magazines and ammunition, such that you don’t need to run to the store for an emergency.  Shotguns are especially effective to defend your home during a riot.  You and five neighbors with shotguns and carbines can effectively hold-off 100 rioters.  Have your firearms at the ready – cleaned, appropriately oiled, and magazines loaded.  It is amazing how liberal-progressives transform into freedom-loving gun handlers, when a riot is proceeding through their neighborhood.
• Teach your spouse, partners, roommates and older children how to handle firearms.  Have them obtain firearm training.  Teach your younger children to identify and stay away from firearms.  And keep your firearms locked away from children and mentally ill at all times.   A firearm should be in your holster or under lock at ALL TIMES.  Training is paramount.  Under stress and pressure, you will react to the lowest level of your training.

• Have a well stocked bug-out bag.  You should have two formulations of a bug-out kit.  One bug-out kit should be larger and scaled to drive away in your vehicle.  The second small kit should be a walk-away kit in backpacks.  If your home is attacked or set to fire, best course of action is the leave.   If the rioters outnumber your family and your home is directly targeted, fighting is a high risk option.
• Have a bug-out plan well formulated and discussed with your family.  You should have pre-designated meeting spots to assemble, before making a retreat.  If family members can not travel to your home to assemble, then perhaps meet at the kids’ school, at a church or library.   Have three pre-plan destinations planned where to go, if you must bug out.  The first choice would be with family members within a short (2 hour) drive.   Or can be a distant hotel.  Or vacation home or mountain cabin.   To close friends.

RELATED : Five Levels Of Preparations For SHTF, WROL, And Teotwawki

• Have non-lethal self-defense can be useful to defuse a situation.   Rubber buckshot could be the first round in your shotgun.  Large canisters of pepper spray, often called bear spray, can be useful to disperse a small crowd in front of your home.
• Have a deep food reserve, so that you need not travel out to purchase food during a riot.  My advocate for all families is to have one year of food stored at your home.  Canned food is the first part of your food storage plan, which should be actively rotated.
• Have a lot of stored drinking water.  During a riot, there is the possibility that municipal water supplies can be interrupted or contaminated. The minimum recommended about of stored water is one gallon for each family member per day.  And have two weeks of stored water.   For a family of 4, that means you should have 48 gallons of water stored at your home (1 gallon x 4 family members x 14 days = 48 gallons).
• Keep your vehicle’s fuel tank always at least 3/4 filled.  If you need to leave, expect that gas stations will be closed during a riot.   I also keep 15 gallons of gasoline at my home to refill our primary vehicle and to fill the portable power generator.
• Have lots of batteries in your emergency supplies.  Flashlights, radios, lanterns, walkie-talkies, children’s toy, clocks, CO2 detectors, smoke detectors all consume lots of batteries.  Expect there will be power outages during a riot.   Your smoke detectors and CO2 batteries are quickly drained during a power outage.   Having solar battery recharger and crack powered flashlights and radios are valuable adds to your supplies.  I have two sets of battery storage.  The first set is disposable batteries for everyday usage.  The second set is a lot of rechargeable batteries, which I reserve for emergencies.

RELATED : Here Are 6 Reasons A Survival Food Pantry Can Fail You When You Need It Most

• Have several fire extinguishers in your home.   Also have a long garden hose ready to fight a roof fire.   Don’t expect the fire services will come to your neighborhood when a riot is underway.  Gather with your neighbors to fight any fires in your neighborhood.
• Have your family practice fire drills.  Have multiple ways to exit your home.  Have emergency rope ladders to descend from 2nd or 3rd story window.  Keep a house key and flash light next to your bed, in case you need to escape.
• Keep your medical supplies and prescription medicines topped off at all times.  Don’t be down to your last 2 pills of prescription medicine at anytime.  I have built up my store of prescription medicines for a least 2 months.
• Understand what coverage is provided by your homeowners or renters insurance for civil disruptions, riots and terrorist events.  Many insurances policies do not cover riots and terrorist events.  If you fear a riot in your neighborhood, talk to your insurance agent about special additional insurance coverage.
• Take pictures of your home and important valuables for insurance purposes.  Take a picture of every room, every piece of furniture, every electronic gadget, every closet, every storage space in your home.  Talk to your insurance agent about extra coverage for art, guns, collectibles, jewelry, coins, wine, and other valuable items.   Many people have a $1000 or more in clothing accumulated from many years.  Without a picture or receipts, it is difficult to make an insurance claim for losses of common household items.    Store the picture on several USB memory sticks.  I keep a picture library in my bank safe box and on a USB memory stick in my bug-out bag.   Make sure the memory stick is encrypted and password protected.
• Don’t keep all of your emergency supplies at just your home.  I recommend having a rented, secured storage within walking distance.  Keep some of your camping equipment, guns, ammunition, long-term stored foods, drinking water, and other bug-out supplies at the storage unit.  In case your home is destroyed, don’t lose everything.

RELATED : Hydration for the Apocalypse: How to Store Water for Long-Term Emergencies

• For multiple reasons, I have gas masks in my prepping supplies.  Relevant to riots, expect that tear gas and pepper gas will be used to disperse crowds.  The gas may drift into your home or neighborhood.   I have gas mask for every member of my family, plus extras masks for family arrivals, plus extra filters.   Putting on a gas mask takes practice.  Putting gas masks on children is a chore.  So be careful to fit the gas mask prior on your children, and refit every year as they grow.  I’m a big fan of Israeli civilian gas masks.
• Rioting takes place mostly during hot summer months.  A cold winter day is not inductive of a riot, unless some major political event occurred.   Keep more vigilant during the summer.
• Make your home more secure.  Your doors should be solid, not hollow.  Metal doors are better than wood.   Extra long screws should be used to mount the doors.   Dead bolt locks are imperative on each door.  If you live in a riskier neighborhood, have a door security bar for each door.

• Have a home security system install and active all the time.  Too many people turn off their security system during the day.  This is a mistake.  Your security system should be on, whenever you are home.    Make sure the batteries to your security system are replaced every year.    Notify your security monitoring service whenever you will be away for an extended period of time.
• Always be ready to defend yourself in any situation, home or away.  I have 4 or 5 means to defend myself, whenever I’m away from home.  And many more options when I’m home.  Don’t be scared.  Be prepared, vigilant, and ready.
• Sand bags are in important tool.  When civil order has broken down, police do not have control over a neighborhood, and rioting and looting are underway, sand bags are very useful.

What to do if there is a riot underway in your neighborhood

• Stay home.  Don’t join any riot, regardless of your political views or desperate situations.  The vast majority of those injured or killed in a riot are those participating.  Call in sick at work, and stay home to guard your family, home and neighborhood.
• Get information from your children’s school about how to safely transport your child home.
• Call your friends, family, and neighbors to appraise them of the situation.
• Stay sober.  It is not party time.  You need to keep your head about you.
• Never attempt to drive near or through a riot zone.  You are very exposed in your vehicle.
• Minimize the amount of sound, noise, and light coming from your home.  Don’t have cooking smells come from your home.  No loud music.
• Contact your neighbors about initiating 24 hour neighborhood watch. Establish a 24 hour security watch at your home or neighborhood.
• Stay indoors.  Lock your doors and windows.   Have your children only play indoors.
• Lock up and hide your valuables.  If your home is invaded, make it difficult for your valuables to be found.   Art, big screen TV’s, cash, drugs, jewelry, guns, ammunition, mobile phones, computers, video games, and food will be the target of looters.   Hide these items in basement, attic, behind dry wall, in crawl spaces, under difficult to move furniture, and other difficult to reach places in your home.  It is best to keep very valuable jewelry, art, and gold coins in a guarded facility away from your home, such as a bank safe box or guarded storage locker.
• Carry your sidearm pistol on your body, even while home.  If you have body armor, get your body armor carrier ready and have it near your bed at night.
• Turn on a radio and television to get news updates.  A battery or crank powered radio is vital during an emergency.
• While you have power, recharge any device that has rechargeable batteries. Make sure your mobile phones, tablet devices, and laptop are at full charge.
• If electrical power is interrupted, don’t immediately power up your electrical generator.  Portable electrical generators are a targets for thieves.  And the noise from a generator attracts attention.  Only when stability has been reached, then use your portable generators.

• If rioters are coming towards your home with an incendiary devices (such as Molotov cocktail), it is likely time to start shooting.  Fires are a primary killer in riots.    If you are carrying a Molotov cocktail in my neighborhood, I’m not going to stop to ask you a question.
• If it is likely that riots are to continue for multiple days, then make your home look like it was already looted.  Put debris in your front yard, cover windows, black spray paint to mimic burn marks above doors and windows, and having a low noise and sound signature will make your home look like a less valuable target.  If things are very bad, paint a black x on your front door with the words “One Dead” under the x.   People don’t like to come into a home if there was a dead person there.

During a riot, you can not count on police to protect you.  In the United States, community police are typically very effective, very dedicated.  But the police can quickly become overwhelmed.   It is up to your to prepare your family and defend your home and neighborhood.  And work in your community to prevent riots.

The risk of riots in the United States are relatively low now.  As the US and global economics continue to inch towards the next Great Depression, riots will start to increase.  The pending cuts in the US food stamps budget will see more people becoming desperate.  As with most major disasters, including riots, the chances are small.  But the results are devastating, sometimes unrecoverable.
I pray and hope you are never near or in a riot zone.

20 Things You’ll Need For Survival When The Economy Collapses!

When the economic collapse and the next great depression begins !
Today, millions of Americans say that they believe that The United State  is on the verge of a major economic collapse and will soon be entering another Great Depression. Only a small percentage of those same people are prepared for that to happen.
The sad truth is that the vast majority of Americans would last little more than a month on what they have store in their homes. Most of as are so used to running out to the supermarket or to Wal-Mart for whatever we need that we never even stop to consider what would happen if suddenly we were not able to do that.

Already the U.S. is starting to stumble about like a drunken frat boy! All it would take for the entire U.S. to resemble New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina is a major war, a terrorist attack, a deadly pandemic or a masive natural disaster to strike at just the right time and push the teetering U.S. economy over the edge.

Central banks can’t save the markets from a crash

Like children clinging to their parents, stock market traders turned to their central banks last week as they sought protection from the frightening economic figures coming out of China. Surely, they asked, the central banks would ward off the approaching bogeymen, as they had so many times since the 2008 crash. The US Federal Reserve came up with the goods. William Dudley, president of the bank’s New York branch, hinted that the interest rate rise many had expected next month was likely to be delayed.

A signal that borrowing costs would remain at rock bottom was all it took. After Black Monday and Wobbly Tuesday, the markets recovered to regain almost all their recent losses. It was just as if they had said to themselves: who cares if China’s economy is slowing; the “Greenspan put”, which so famously propped up US stock markets during the 1990s and early 2000s with one interest rate cut after another, is still in operation. FULL REPORT 

It Is Time To Kick Prepping Into Overdrive, Because This Stock Market Crash Is Just The Beginning

f you have not been preparing for what is coming, you need to get off your sofa and you need to start prepping right now.  Just remember what happened back in 2008.  That crisis took most people totally by surprise.  Millions of Americans lost their jobs, and because most of them were living paycheck to paycheck, all of a sudden most of them couldn’t pay the rent or the mortgage either.  Large numbers of families that were once living a comfortable middle class lifestyle suddenly found themselves destitute.  Well, this coming crisis is going to be even worse by the time it is all said and done, and it is not just going to be economic in nature.  Over the past two trading days, the Dow has gone down more than a thousand points.  The shaking that so many have warned about has begun.  As this shaking plays out, you and your family will need cash, food, supplies and a whole bunch of other things.  If you do not already have everything prepared, then you need to kick your prepping into overdrive because we are on a very compressed time frame now.

But don’t just take my word for it.  A top adviser to former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown named Damian McBride is saying the same thing…

A former adviser to Gordon Brown has urged people to stock up on canned goods and bottled water as stock markets around the world slide.

And he didn’t just speak in generalities.  According to an article in one of the most important newspapers in the UK, McBride is urging his fellow citizens to do some very specific things…

“Advice on the looming crash, No.1: get hard cash in a safe place now; don’t assume banks & cashpoints will be open, or bank cards will work,” he tweeted.
“Crash advice No.2: do you have enough bottled water, tinned goods & other essentials at home to live a month indoors? If not, get shopping.
“Crash advice No.3: agree a rally point with your loved ones in case transport and communication gets cut off; somewhere you can all head to.”

All of that is great advice.
But I wonder why he is so concerned about people being able to live a month indoors.  Does he know something that the rest of us do not?
Others are issuing similar ominous warnings.  The following is an excerpt from a recent article by Chuck Baldwin that seemed to be written with an unusual sense of urgency…

I suggest you have a supply of food and water to last at least three months. Many survival experts insist that a six-month supply is the minimum. Personally, I can live a long time on tuna fish or peanut butter. You can purchase MREs from a variety of sources, as well as camp-style packaged food from many sporting goods stores. Of course, bottled water is available everywhere during normal times. Stock up! Distilled water will store longer than spring water. Plus, I suggest you have some water purification tablets or a Katadyn water filter on hand. And, if you are able, prepare to grow your own food. In cold weather climates such as we have here in Montana, people quickly learn how to construct and utilize greenhouses in which to grow food. Canning food is another very helpful hedge against deprivation. If your parents and grandparents lived through the Great Depression as mine did, this was standard operating procedure.
Get a generator. Keep a supply of fuel on hand. Stay stocked up on batteries, candles, portable lights, first aid supplies, and toiletries–especially toilet paper and toothpaste. I also suggest you never run out of lighters or matches. You never know when you’ll need to build a fire. If you live in a cold weather climate, you probably already have some sort of wood stove or fireplace.

You can read the rest of that outstanding article right here.
Similar sentiments were expressed in a recent piece by prepper extraordinaire Daisy Luther…

• Take your money out of the bank ASAP.  If you still keep your money in the bank, go there and remove as much as you can while leaving in enough to pay your bills. Although it wasn’t a market collapse in Greece recently, the banks did close and limit ATM withdrawals.  People went for quite some time without being able to access their money, but were able to have a sense of normalcy by transferring money online to pay bills or using their debit cards to make purchases.  Get your cash out. You don’t want to be at the mercy of the banks.
• Stock up on supplies.  Make sure you are prepped. If you’re behind on your preparedness efforts and need to do this quickly, you can order buckets of emergency food just to have some on hand. (Learn how to build an emergency food supply using freeze dried food HERE) Hit the grocery store or wholesale club and stock up there, too, on  your way home.
• Load up on fuel.  Fill up your gas tank and fill your extra cans also. Quite often, fuel prices skyrocket in the wake of a market crash.
• Be prepared for the potential of civil unrest. If the banks put a limit on withdrawals (or close like they did in Greece) you can look for some panic to occur. If the stores dramatically increase prices or close..more panic. Be armed and be prepared to stay safely at home. (Although this article was written during the Ferguson race riots, civil unrest follows a similar pattern regardless of the cause.)
• Be prepared for the possibility of being unable to pay your bills. If things really go downhill, the middle class and those who are the working poor will be the most strongly affected, as they have been in Greece during that country’s ongoing financial crisis.  This article talks about surviving if you are unable to pay all of your bills.

Every family is facing a different set of circumstances, so “prepping” is not going to look the same for everyone.  What may make sense for you may not make sense for me.  But the truth is that we all need to get prepared for what is coming, because time is running out.
As I have discussed repeatedly, I have more of a sense of urgency about the last six months of 2015 than I have ever had about any other other specific period of time.  That is why the book that I recently co-authored with survivalist expert Barbara Fix is entitled “Get Prepared NOW“.  The word “NOW” is in larger print than everything else on the front cover because I really wanted to emphasize the urgency of what we are facing.
If you think that you can wait until next year to start getting prepared, you are going to be too late.
This stock market crash is just the beginning.
