The next bubble will strike soon, this will be in the form of commercial mortagages, annd the Jumbo loans from zee Prime borrowers. Why? Because, the interest being charged on the debt money never existed. It is mathematically impossible for everyone to repay the loans. Its like a game of musical chairs. The money was created, given to us, +++interest (doesn't exist), and we are promised to repay. Where do we get the interest? We get it by ruining other people and taking the money they were loaned. Simple as that. The Federal Reserve cannot ever loose. Our system strongly resembles a Mad-max, Road Warrior beyond thunder Dome system, 2 men enter One man leaves. Anyone want an honest money system yet?

Jumbo Loan Defaults Rise at Fast Pace as Rich Suffer

Commercial Real Estate Activity Continuing to Decline

I don't see a bottom either. The current system is crooked, corrupt, un-natural, soul crushing, and dishonest. It forces people to fight over paper, the supply of such paper being controlled by a few dudes and the devil himself. Of course there is never enough! Oh, yeah the funny thing is, is that the paper really isn't worth anything, we have been hood-winked.

Once the cat gets out of the bag, things will get wacky. This is the kind of thing that causes civilizations to fall folks. This isn't new, this just hasn't happened on such a massive scale within recorded history. So keep preparing! We don't have to live as debt slaves. We just think we do. Sooner or later everyone will realize that. The national debt will never be re-paid. It is so much, that its impossible to understand what a black hole it is. Consumption doesn't generate wealth! Smile, because on the other side of this, is a better world.

$$$Money$$$

Ok here is the rub. I feel like I haven't explained the nature of our situation clearly enough. I'm going to give it another shot.

The federal reserve, is neither a purely governmental nor private entity. Its both. Its owned by bankers, but they cannot sell their shares in it. The chair of it is appointed by the president. So by classic definition of ownership they do not own it. To "own" something you have to have the power to sell it. It is a cartel. Congress doesn't dictate to them the value of the dollar, they dictate that to congress. Most of the money created, 95% of it is just zeros in a computer bank, only about 5% of the total dollar is printed in paper.

Where do we get our money from?

The Fed says they "loan" money to our government at "interest". These words are used, but do not apply. They print money and charge the government a service fee. When our government needs money the fed "loans" it to our government. When our government cannot repay the loan, it "barrows" more from the Federal Reserve. This is done over and over and over again, and is the nature of our National debt. The very nature of this system is self depreciating. Money is created from nothing. Its worth is decided by the bankers at the Fed and it is enforced by our government. As more money is added to the system prices seem to go up. That is the wrong way to look at it, the price of most goods is the same now as it was in 1960. The dollar is worth less. Most people can live with 2%-4% inflation, and indeed we have been.




Since the Federal Reserve has taken over our currency, the dollar has lost most of its value. This would continue, at the same rate, technically until the dollar is worth next to nothing. The only way to stop this is to stop creating money. This can't and won't happen.

Why?

If it did, our government and the Fed would cease to be. There would be no money to pay for: government employees, welfare recipients, social security, warfare, ect, ect, anything you can imagine that the government pays for.

Now, the recent amount of money added is astronomical. Dollar depreciation will accelerate, at an exponential level.





But you say, someone in government or at the Fed has got to know this. They are smarter than we are. I'm sure some of them do. See, the system isn't sustainable any way, and would break down eventually due to its very nature. Someone decided that they wanted it to happen sooner rather than later.

What if the money added to the banks isn't loaned out, and not aloud to enter the system? What if they spend it else where?



The money was created to be loaned out. It doesn't matter where the dollars are spent, as long as it is somewhere on this planet.

What is going on?

Best case scenario, the dollar will loose at least 50% of its current value in the next few years. Worst case scenario, the dollar will loose 99% of its current value by next year. The dollars you have will inevitably be worthless. That's how it is. The count down on this de-valuation is dependent on what the banks do!

Why are they doing this?

They are purposely crashing our currency. If you can think this is an accident, your naive. If you think that creating this amount of dollars isn't going to drastically change how you live, you need to have your head examined. This isn't talked about on television because 6 major companies control most of the media. Where do they get their money? Who is daddy? Television is a mass propaganda tool. It is literally mass mind control. Don't believe 90% of what you hear on television. Quit watching television. Do not allow television to raise your children.



But Why? Why Josh?

The best analogy I can think of, goes something like this: So Uncle Sam has a gambling problem. Good ole Uncle Sam has had custody of us kids, and well Uncle Sam has gambled off our college fund. This fund was your legacy from your ancestors, who scratched, and suffered, and did without, to see that someday you got an education. Uncle Sam doesn't have the heart to tell you what he has done, or even try to explain it to you, or why he did it. So instead he takes the last damn 20bucks and buys you a plush stuffed animal made in china. Puts a smile on your face. Then he goes back to the casino, to gamble even more. Now putting you, and I, and our children, the beloved, up for collateral on new credit lines.

What is the end objective?

To introduce a new fiat currency. People say the Amero, I'm leaning toward a world wide currency unit. This will crash the euro, and most others as well.

Why?

If there is one money on the planet, then there is no other currency to run to. The world can easily be controlled. For our own benefit I'm sure. Think of it as neo-feudalism, that is why this is happening. It isn't a conspiracy theory, this is what is happening. The media will make this sound like a wonderful thing. A new era, a new world order for the ages, a whole new global deal. Where we finally "come together" as the people of Earth, all opposition will be crushed.

This isn't even taking into account the trillions of dollars held by foreign countries and what the heck they are going to do with the damn things.

Here is a video about this, if you have time educate yourself.


If you don't believe me, or think I am wrong. Then tell me:

A: How is a dollar created?

B: How has the dollar gained value?

C: What is the definition of exponential?

The media, will blame everything and everyone it can, before it blames the Federal Reserve... Take measures now, to prevent loosing anymore wealth you may have. Food, water, gold, silver, solar panels, batteries, soap, cigarettes, propane, blankets, hogs, sugar, goats, cattle, chickens, firearms, salt, medical supplies, flour, generators, alcohol, wool, ammunition, copper, anything that is used by people, and has value.

I'm not kidding.
The globalist bankers aren't either.

Drought!

Hey guys, I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Tonight I offer some maps, annd

The News:

As you know much of the world is experiencing a drought. Here are a few maps that help us understand the scope of this gigantic problem. Here is food output by GDP:




Here is a map illustrating the areas suffering from drought:




As you can see this is literally a perfect storm. Drought now means a smaller harvest later. China's wheat output per year is roughly the same as the US and Russia's harvest combine. China is taking extreme action to try to save their crops this season.

China orders $13-billion drought relief for wheat growers

Note that mass cloud seeding is known to mess up weather patterns else where. Basically particles (normally silver iodide) are dispersed into clouds. These particles cause the water vapor in the clouds to stick to them, and eventually form drops. The drops then fall to earth in the form of rain. To put it simply, it sucks the moister out of the atmosphere.

China fights drought with chemical cloud-seeding

The drought also has caused huge fires in south eastern Australia, these fires have thus far killed 84 people.



There will be more fires the world over. We can count on this. If the drought continues, there is a very good chance of famines. The scope of which are fearful to contemplate.

Hello Everyone. I am well and I hope you are too.

The News:

A global drought is settling in. This is really bad. Millions of people around the world face an extremely uncertain year. This will cause a great deal of conflict as the months wear on. I don't know how ugly this will get...

No Water!

Estimates figure a half million jobs were lost in our nation last month. We can assume this is conservative.

522,000 jobs lost in January

Again, 7.6% is very conservative. I reckon the number to be closer to 10% maybe even higher around different areas of the country.

Unemployment Rate Hits 7.6 Percent in January

This is a domino effect, we can expect unemployment to skyrocket. As folks loose work, they spend less, causing more folks to loose work, ect, ect.

U.S. job losses accelerate


The TARP failure. Throwing good money after bad, would be a delightful understatement. Its not a question whether it was "big" enough or not. The very basis of this idea is flawed. This money was about as useful to the average citizen as a kick in the mouth. Technically we have to re-pay this money with interest. There is no way it will ever be payed back, short of enslaving the entire American population for a few generations. The debt will be defaulted. The economy is about to bite the big one people. More "stimulus" is a mute point.

TARP Shortchanged Taxpayers $78 Billion

TARP legislation a failure

Another 825 billion stacked onto the funeral pyre. The dollar is being debased, and it won't stop here. The more dollars being created the less wealth we all have. This amount of money is mind boggling. If you counted one number per second it would take you around 28,000 years to count to 800 billion.

Economic stimulus package offers "hope" of recovery

The United States is a big ship, so it will take a little while for the public at large to realize this sucker is sinking. Too many people expect the government to help them. In reality, there isn't much that can be done. In reality depending on the government is nucking futs. It almost seems like they are purposefully speeding up the disintegration. The Fed will start buying US treasury bills (they have no other choice), because no one else will. Monetizing the debt, is the most hyperinflationary thing that can be done to any currency.

Federal Reserve Ready to Start Buying Treasuries

Couple this with a global loss of confidence in the American people's ability to re-pay the debt ever. Couple this impending global famine. Couple this with a possible expansion of the war in the mid-east. The stage is set for some true madness. We are right on the edge.

When gold and silver break loose from the price manipulation, it cannot continue forever. The market is extremely tight. Silver premiums in Europe are insane, if physical silver or gold can be found at all. When they break loose and and they will, it will be the beginning of a run on the dollar.

What to do? Get gold or silver while you can. If you don't know where to start, look at my past post on some advice on how to. Its not a risk free investment, just a heck of lot less risky than hanging on to dollars. Keep storing food! If you live in a dry climate store water! If there is plenty of fresh water around, then invest in some purification equipment. Prepare for the worst. Again, I know you have the moral courage to hold the line. We have to depend on each other and ourselves to get through this. Remember in the end we will be better off without all this needless excess. Staying positive is half the battle.
