How will you cope with the global economic collapse?

On every continent, in every country, the state and the city conversations as they occur on a daily basis ... John asks: "Are you ready for when the HFCS (Shit hits the fan)? Scott replied: "No, and I do not think something will happen. Life will continue as usual, and your just wasting your time and your money! "

I am sure you have read or heard this dialogue several times a week, family, friends, or blogs online. In fact, you can even have the same ideologies that John, or maybe even Scott. Whichever group you belong, even if you are indifferent, we can all agree that no one seems to have the answer! Who do you think? This is the big question.

In this article I will try to present examples of past economic events, compare and contrast to the current crisis, and explore than ever persistent question in the back of everybody's minds, "Should I prepare for the future, or live life as usual? "

Many people ask this question on a daily basis. In fact, many are bold enough to predict when this collapse may occur, and prepare accordingly. But have you really thought that the collapse of the economy World mean?

The most predominant economic collapse as everyone thinks, when the subject is raised, is the great debacle Wall Street in the 1920s and 1930s and later "Great Depression". Yet no one bit into account that more damaging, previous collapses occurred.

Previous collapses in Western societies have their roots all the way back to the age of antiquities in the Mediterranean. Many historians regard the collapse of the Roman Empire in the fourth and fifth centuries, after bad leadership. Although it is difficult to reach a final verdict on why the fall of the Roman Empire, is it sufficient say it was a long and complex process, made even more difficult to understand by the uneven nature of the decades of turmoil procedure (the war with the Goths, Franks and Alamanni).

If there were a simple answer, the Romans would have surely found. The institution itself has been not at fault, but the support she has received from his commanders, the emperors, was often lacking.

It is interesting to note our commander in chief, President Barack Hussein Obama, with the most important institution of our nation - Congress, have often failed and failed in support of their voters (in March 15th, 2010, Rasmussen reported that 71% of Americans believe that Congress did a good job, while only 26% Americans strongly approve of the decisions of President Obama).

Our "modern" is not different when juxtaposed with the nadir of the Roman Empire. The French Revolution of 1789, the economic collapse that followed the war of 1812, the Panic of 1873, etc. can all be attributed to a common point - the debt exceeded income. The only factor that was lacking in these times, which our modern society is the thank you for, is globalization. Thus, if a country wobbles a ripple effect can and will affect all others, including the so-called "Prosperous" nations.

If we take a look at the world debt, it is quite shocking. Spending our way into prosperity first and foremost does not work, and indeed lead to decades of pain. In fact, economists year's world renowned, such as Peter Schiff, Global Capitalism Nouriel Roubini, and others, warn of financial collapse because of the monetization of federal debt Subsequent to governmental controls in the form of Treasury bill interest, manipulated COMEX markets (most recently the former Goldman Sachs employee, was the informant, said money for every ounce of concrete, 100 ounces of paper has been published - they can not meet demand if a large scale "call" has been done), and other forms of capital controls. Many may wonder the validity of this argument and the correctness of the above economists. However, a simple browsing of Main Stream Media shows they have been correct.

Foreclosures on the rise, insolvent banks, bonds third of the market "pumping" by the Fed, and unemployment are just some things they have correctly anticipated. This is particularly true with UN-employment. A country can not find prosperity if no one else to buy products that are either locally produced or imported inch loss of jobs has accelerated in March 2010, rising to 61% with employers announce plans to cut 67,611 jobs in March, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. That is, without tangible "jobs" America can emerge from its ashes and once again lead his people to prosperity.

What is even more disturbing is that the government has now taken control and ownership of the car manufacturers, health care national and the student loan industry effectively eliminate banks and cutting revenue to about $ 68 billion. However, governments take care and control has not ended there. No, recently enacted laws Treasury closed the loop hole on the money expatriate. Newly changed Internal Revenue Code, Chapter 4, Sections 1471-1474, has effectively implemented the global capital control application for citizens of the United States.

So severe is the current evolution of legal regimes, some pseudonym corresponding financial such as "John Galt, said the following," The precursor of the most important changes in Western civilization have always been restrictions imposed on the movement of capital. Without going into Woo-woo land on you, all I can say is that it is a wakeup call that something important will occur which further restricts the freedoms of citizens of this great nation once. When I did my radio show, I warned that this single event, a key moment or a marker in the history of any nation is something to be taken deadly seriously. In my opinion, this means that the currency realignment or modification or outright revocation of rights to assume the certainty of one day 90, maybe if we're lucky, 180 windows per day. "

As mentioned earlier globalization is the key to "monkey" in the economic machine. Historically, when a country fails or default on its debt, the butterfly effect is enormous, and the defects occur in waves.

Let's go to the question posed at the beginning of this article, "Who should you believe, and if you're interested, the answer to this question is" Yes " - We should be worried, and believe that the data submitted by major financial institutions and watchdog groups. In this spirit, the preparation the future was not only a wise decision, but his.

How do you prepare? This question is more difficult than you might think. An immeasurable amount of combinations are involved in a scenario HFCS. Should I invest in gold or silver? What about weapons, food, seeds, paper money, and so this scenario is played. A wise decision would be to have a small segment of each of the items above. Here is a small, but essential list presented you may find useful from a survivor of war in Sarajevo, and if things can not deteriorate to this extreme, you have to remember everything is possible:

In Sarajevo War Survivor:

Experiencing horrible things that can happen in a civil war or economic deterioration - death of parents and friends, hunger and malnutrition attacks, endless freezing cold, fear of snipers.

1. Storage can help, but you never know how long sentence, then locate

near renewable food sources.

2. Living near a well with a manual pump is like being in paradise.

3. After awhile, even gold can lose its luster. But it is not a luxury in wartime

all quite like toilet paper. Its added value is greater than gold.

4. If you had to make a public service without losing electricity - it's easier to

do without (unless you're in a very pleasant climate, without the need for heat.)

5. Canned foods are awesome, especially if their contents are tasty without

heating. One of the best things store canned juices - it makes a lot of

dried indigestible things you find to eat in times of war a few edible. Only needs

enough heat to "hot", do not cook. It is cheap too, especially if you buy it

bulk. Spam lifetime is 50 years.

6. Bring some books - the ones like romance or mysteries evasion become

valuable as the war continues. Of course, it's nice to have a lot of survival

guides, but you will realize that most out of your own anyway - trust me, you

have a lot of time on your hands.

7. The feeling that you're human can fade pretty quickly. I can not tell you how

I knew people who traded a much needed meal for just a little bit of

toothpaste, rouge, soap or cologne. Not much interest in the fight against if you

lose your humanity. These things are morale builders like nothing else.

8. slow burning candles and matches, matches, matches.

As economic conditions continue to worsen, you can also expect an increase in desperation to your fellow human beings. Protection in the form of weapons, money, food and supplies, no matter if life continues as normal, is not a bad investment. Food and supplies continue to rise in price every day. Thus, buying a little more reality today may actually save you in the future. Moreover, in the event that a storm catastrophic or global economic downturn occurs, you will have the supplies necessary to continue to live in the cases of looting and chaos of mass as we have seen in recent years - Katrina.

So how do you cope with the collapse of the global economy? We hope you hope for the best but prepare for the worst!
