IT'S TIME TO ACT

George Offerman

It seems over the past few years when I take two weeks off, things seem to happen.  This particular vacation, I was expecting to see major movements in the financial world, and my expectations were met, if not exceeded.  This was not unexpected, and the rumblings in the financial world are really at the beginning phase of an all out collapse.  I have been telling people for some years now, how by simply using mathematical principles taught in the 8th grade, anyone can come the conclusion that the only outcome from blatant money printing and institutionalized deficit spending is collapse. 

Before I go on, I will point out once again, that this issue is not only linked to legalized child killing, it is the genesis of it.  Anyone who has ever done any sidewalk counseling knows the number one reason cited for killing children is lack of money.  The individual say it, planned parenthood says it, and even our government has alluded to this.  If we had fair and honest money, we would not be in the mess we are in.  But because we have a tendency to compartmentalize everything, we will continue to wander in the financial desert until we get the connection and do something about it.

Getting back to the issue, our debt in this country is increasing in a geometric progression.  Our productivity or ability to pay it back is at best increasing in an arithmetic progression, but more likely stagnating, if not actually regressing.  With this being the case, it is a MATHEMATICAL CERTAINTY there will be a crash, and this will usher in a need to reset the whole economic reality of this country.  Because the whole world is on a fiat based currency system, there is no historical precedent in which to refer to, so we are truly in ‘uncharted territory’ concerning the severity and duration of this reset.  There cannot be any other outcome at this time, and it is only a matter whether we have the gumption to pay now with great pain, or later with greater pain, plus interest and penalties.  But pay we will.

This is why both parties ‘caved’ on the debt limit ceiling.  Very few of these people are statesmen, and they don’t want to be known as the ones who caused the ‘greater depression’.  So they did what all previous congresses and presidents have: kicked the can down the road.  The problem is there is not much road left on Debt Avenue.  So, economically, we are treading water until the main event begins in earnest.

I have included a brief snippet from an author I am learning to really appreciate.  It discusses what children may learn from the current economic situation, but it also reflects rather accurately the behaviors of the average American.  This is taken from Simon Black’s article, and his writings can be found at:  www.sovereignman.com



I have to imagine that any child watching the goings-on of American politics would conclude that:

- debt is wealth
- living beyond your means is completely sustainable
- if anyone tells you otherwise, denounce their mathematical errors
- if at first you don't succeed, keep trying the same thing over and over
- working hard and saving money is bad
- spending money and not working is good
- if you have a problem, the government will bail you out
- people are entitled to things that they didn't work for
- no one should be held accountable for the consequences of the risks they take
- it's not illegal if the government does it
- despite what our eyes and ears tell us, inflation is not a concern
- everything is going to be OK simply because the government says so

The financial system is completely different than what it used to be, and the basic premises have been thrown out. The dollar is no longer stable. The US is no longer "risk free". The government is not there to help. The happy-go-lucky days of safely putting our savings in bank CDs and T-bills are gone for good.

Two years ago, I discussed gold and silver for the first time on this site and mentioned how the majority of the pundits were trashing both metals, despite the increasing price for both over the past 8 years.  I also mentioned how there were a few people back then (just 2 years ago) that discussed $1,500 gold and $50 silver.  The majority of people back then did not imagine, nor believe these prices would be breached.  Just two years later, it has been done, and in the most recent few days, a few commentators in the arenas I read have discussed $20-25 K gold.  We haven’t even hit any type of hyper inflation, and the predicted numbers have grown ten fold in just 2 years.  These numbers would have been laughable to even the most strident of gold bugs, yet there are credible authors and gurus of these markets now openly making these claims.  (I can’t wait to see the numbers two years from now!)

This wouldn’t be happening if our economic troubles were improbable.  These numbers only make sense in an economic crash scenario, and it seems more and more of those who study these markets are coming to this conclusion.  We really are at the threshold of something catastrophic, and it is very important that people begin to see this.  It is time that we begin to act on what we know, and take actions that will be positive for ourselves and family.  Godl and silver will go to heights that no one can really believe at this time, but it will be common knowledge in short order, and many will have regrets they did not act on this information.

THIS BS IS GETTING TOO DEEP

George Offerman



Soon we will have to break out the shovels to get through this entire BS landing all around us. The fight over raising the debt ceiling for this bankrupt nation, and all the lying and posturing by both parties and the clown in the White House is such a joke that it would be funny if it did not have such serious and negative ramifications. The fact that these idiots are posturing each other over doing the right thing is nauseating at best and treasonous at worst. They are betraying our country, and the banksters are the ones benefitting.



Let’s be real: the debt ceiling is going to be increased. There is no possible way these fools will allow, or are able to allow default on the debt at this point. It is inevitable default will occur, but not at this time. The fundamental underlying economic problems have not been addressed, nor will they in the near future. So borrowing more money to keep the current ‘lifestyle’ going for another round is necessary to keep the natives from revolting. What is dismaying is the numbers of people that want the party to continue despite the very negative ramifications that are being seen everywhere in the country.



What is even more dismaying is the lack of preparation by many who see things are wrong, but seem to believe these matters will resolve themselves magically. There is little to no urgency in either the political or personal arena as both politicians and most of the citizenry merely complain about this situation, but don’t do anything meaningful about resolving it. unfortunately, it will take an empty belly and living in the elements before the majority will wake up and understand the reality that all this fiscal irresponsibility has sown over the past several decades.



We have watched our way of life change before our eyes because it became too inconvenient and uncomfortable to fight against these forces. So it became easier to do little to nothing, and allow ourselves to be entertained, while also accepting the premise that we were entitled to the fruits of others labors (Thou shalt not steal). This deadly combination is the genesis of our problems, and since we have not repented of these evils, the consequences of our actions are now here, and pay we will.



In the meantime, we will, in a perverse twist of fate, be entertained by all the idiots pretending to be representatives of the people and watch how they will blame anyone but themselves, or of the nature of the nanny state in which too many want for too much in which they’ve earned none of, but fully expect the maximum of what they are ‘entitled’ to. The debt ceiling will be increased for sure. This showboating is nothing more than field dressing for the next campaign, similar to the ‘efforts’ to defund planned parenthood were a few months ago.



There is no intention to change anything about the current situation and anyone who is distracted by this crazy show will simply be further behind the 8 ball concerning any personal preparation. It ought to be obvious to the most simple among us that we truly are on our own concerning our safety and future. The average man and woman are not benefiting from any of these deals; the mega banks and Wall Street are and they are not sharing. The taxpayer, however, is given the bill and basically told to take a long walk off a short pier. In a corporate fascist world, it’s the way it always is, and our time is no exception. We can get caught up in the bread and circuses and be entertained, or we can act quickly and do what we need to do to secure at least some provisions for ourselves and families before it becomes impossible to do. The clock is ticking.
