TEOTWAWKI- This article is especially for those who doubt that the global elite wish to impose global taxes and a global currency on all of us. Once upon a time such notions were laughed at by the majority of the public. But not anymore. Now, top global organizations are coming right out and announcing that these are the things that they want. It is right there in black and white for anyone who wants to read it. The head of the IMF has come right out and said that he wants a global currency to be implemented. Both the IMF and the World Health Organization have openly announced that they want global taxes to be imposed as quickly as possible. Considering how powerful the IMF and the WHO are, it is time for everyone to sit up and take notice. These increasingly powerful international organizations are openly proclaiming that they want to start digging into our wallets. Alarm bells should be going off in your head about now. A global currency and global taxes would mean the end of the world as we know it for national sovereignty. But today most Americans are so apathetic that they don't care about anything. more
SHTF Plan- We’ve got a one way ticket to collapse, folks. It really doesn’t matter if we’re talking inflationary collapse or deflationary collapse. We’ve resigned ourselves to the understanding that the government cannot fix this problem even if they had the desire to do so (which they don’t). The end result is going to be a lot of people without jobs, money, food and any sort of plan or ability to improve their situation. A collapse of the magnitude we’re talking about is not something that will be over in a few weeks or months. We’re talking years, potentially decades. more

Israel National- Iran’s recently-concluded war games concentrated on preparations to block the Persian Gulf and wreck Western economies in the event that the United Nations Security Council tries to place harsh sanctions against it.

Of Two Minds- That the Savior State appeared sustainable was an accidental coincidence of cheap oil and favorable demographics. The notion that a central government could provide cradle-to-grave care for all its citizenry was only possible when the worker-to-retiree/recipient was on the order of 10-to-1 or 5-to-1.

The Angry Exile, ʇuǝpuodsǝɹɹoɔ uʍop ǝpısdn. - In our sensible moments we would acknowledge that this government or any government for that matter are not going to solve our problems for us.
