People of the world at present can define what is recession and what is inflation. We all want to survive or recover. We do not want to have another great depression. As described in Wikipedia, the great depression was a worldwide economic downturn from 1929 and ending at different times in the 1930s and 1940s. This happened in most places of the different countries. It was known to be the largest and the most severe economic depression in the 20th century. Whenever there is a decline in the world’s economy, that great depression is used as an example of the extent of the decline that the world’s economy can actually have. There is always the other side of a story. Therefore, there is also, the other side of the life of the great depression. The other side that I am referring to are the reflections and lessons we can gain from it.

Life during the great depression was not easy. It was at this time that people – rich or poor became very vulnerable to the effect of the great depression. Rich or poor looked for means on how to survive the great depression. Both of them have experienced severe economic financial crisis and both of them sought for a crisis management plan. So, the first reflection that we can have is that reach or poor are affected and that life during the great depression crosses boundaries of culture, money, and race. Our being human is what remains to be there. Second reflection, although the rich people are affected, it is the poor who are greatly affected. Good for the rich people because they still have something to get from their pocket whenever their stomachs are hungry. The poor becomes poorer each day until some are starving already. Third reflection that I have is that people are the ones who cause the great depression and we are also the ones who suffer.

Another side of the life during the great depression are the lessons we can learn out of it. These lessons are:

Frugality.

We should learn how to be thrifty. Let us learn the lesson of the fable “The Ant and the Grasshopper.” The ant saves for rainy days, the grasshopper don’t. In this case, who are we then? Are we more of an ant or more of a grasshopper. Prioritize your needs. Never ever confuse your needs and wants.

Discipline.

Control your desires. Do not ever think that because you have a credit line, you will have to engage in debts. Be guided by the quote “Don’t spend money you don’t already have in your pocket.” More importantly, do not engage in gambling. “A gambler always loses.” If you have money, do not be a one day millionaire. You spend it all for one day and you suffer on the succeeding days.

Hard work.

Many times, we want to avoid chores. Why don’t you do the tasks which you can. Imagine how much you will be able to save when you do your part.

The people during the great depression have learned new mental attitude. Aside from the characteristics mentioned above, they were able to realize the value of close relationships with their immediate family, relatives, friends, and with God. The high-priced lesson they have is actually being able to realize that mo re import to material things are the quality of relationships that they build with their fellowmen. And this is the essence of the other side of the life during the great depression.

While everybody is losing money, jobs and properties would you believe that some people are at their best during recession? Be one of the people who discovered the secret to achieve true wealth during recession.

We can see the signs of a coming economic collapse, but that does us no good whatsoever if we fail to act. No, we can’t prevent what is coming, but we can certainly prepare to minimize the pain when it all comes down.

When the government debt is no longer payable and the government checks can’t be covered or the money printing to make it all keep going causes hyperinflation, there will be a lot of civil unrest. Unhappy people who either aren’t getting their government checks or people who are unhappy that their government checks won’t go far enough as 5% becomes the monthly inflation rate instead of the annual inflation rate.

So if we have the benefit of foresight and we see it coming, just what can we do to survive when it all comes down? Let’s take a look at three specific things you can to do survive the riots and looting that will make the streets a very dangerous place to be when the economic collapse happens.

Be able to stay home

The safest place during a riot is in your home. Especially if you have taken measures to ‘fortify’ your home and make is safer, and if you have some means of self-defense, you won’t want to be anywhere else when there is civil unrest.

However, when an economic collapse happens, there are always reasons to be tempted to brave the danger outside – and it is almost always making a run to the store for supplies.

If you have had the wisdom to prepare, you will have 6 to 8 weeks’ worth of non-perishable items in your pantry to give you the insurance policy of being safe in your home.

Keep a low profile

If you haven’t been telling anyone and everyone about your predictions of economic collapse and how you are preparing by stockpiling food, then you are much better off. While you certainly do want to help others in need, you don’t want to have every neighbor on the block knocking down your door asking for a handout when things go south.

The less said, the better off you will be in your attempts to keep a low profile. Looters and burglars who decide that they will help themselves to the supplies of others will not have you on their radar if you have kept a low profile, since word gets around quickly these days with Facebook.

Be able to hunker down anywhere

Just as with my first point, having the luxury of staying in the safety of your home when there is civil unrest, you want to have the luxury of not having to risk taking to the streets to get home if things go south when you are at work.

Since we never know when something like this will happen and how it will unfold, having an emergency preparedness kit in your car is critical. We spend a lot of time away from home, and having some supplies with us only makes sense if we want to have the best chance possible of making it through periods of civil unrest unscathed.

Aside from the occasional blackout, most Americans cannot comprehend the possibility of a total failure of the nation’s power grid. However, the possibility of such a massive catastrophe is actually more real than most of us are comfortable with thinking about.

There are three major threats to the nation’s power grid, but before we look at them, we have to realize that the country actually has three power grids. Texas has its own grid and then there is one east and one west of the Rocky Mountains.

Threat #1: EMP / Terror

The worst possible devastation that any enemy could cause to the United States would be through a single nuclear warhead, whose blast will kill nobody directly. This is an EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) attack.

Detonated high above the earth (at least 20 miles), the nuclear explosion generates electro-magnetic energy that “rides the waves” of the earth’s own magnetic field down to the ground. Just about everything that runs on electricity from horizon to horizon is damaged, with electrical lines being totally fried.

The interesting thing about this phenomenon is that it was first observed in an airburst in the South Pacific, where it did damage to streetlights in Hawaii even though it was 1300 km away. The nature of the earth’s magnetic field is such that it would have been far worse over North America, where the magnetic field is perfect for creating more damage.

The fear is that terrorists could get their hands on a Scud missile and put a nuclear bomb in it and detonate it over the U.S. to throw us back into the 19th century without electricity. However, weaponizing a nuclear bomb small enough to fit on a missile is very difficult.

Also, a missile that most terrorists could get their hands on, like a Scud, does not have the range to reach mid America, though it could certainly cause a regional power outage if it was launched from a ship offshore.

Threat #2: Hackers

The nation’s power grid is constantly probed by hackers, with most recent reports being that the perpetrators were Chinese. Since everything is controlled by computer, the fear is that a virus or a hacker could shut things down or cause a lot of damage.

This scenario is especially frightening given what happened to the Iranian nuclear plant, which was totally shut down due to damage from the Stuxnet virus, even though the plant was totally unconnected from the Internet. Evidently, agents were able to infect laptops in the area with the virus, which waited until it was able to get into the plant via a laptop and then activate.

Threat #3: CME – Coronal Mass Ejection

Solar storms from the sun happen on a predictable cycle and 2013 will see a lot of energy shot at the earth from Coronal Mass Ejections. “The Carrington Event” was one such storm that sent so much electro-magnetic energy to the earth 150 years ago that some telegraph poles started on fire.

Whether the threat is one of the three mentioned above or just aging infrastructure and some very bad winter storms that knock out power lines, we should all be aware that the electricity we take for granted might not always be there. And even if it is, the ability to count on it may be compromised.

If you have any dissatisfaction with my content, you can tell me here and I will fix the problem, because I care about every reader and even more so about your opinion!

There’s no ambiguity about what may be the mother of all economic hard times before the gathering storm explodes into protracted Main Street Depression.

Analysts Doug Casey and David Stockman believe what’s ongoing is the onset of “the most turbulent period in US history,” adding:

For the vast majority of Americans, hard times will likely be worse “than (during the Great Depression) 1930s…(a) perfect storm of big trouble.”

After US GDP declined for two consecutive quarters, truth-telling economist Paul Craig Roberts said the following:

“The US Economy Has Fallen into Recession.”

“Real GDP declines of 1.6% in the 1st quarter followed by 0.9 in the 2nd quarter qualifies as a recession.”

All US/Western officials lie and mass deceive, the latest example by Biden regime Treasury secretary Yellen on Thursday.

Ignoring clear evidence of the US in recession, what’s likely to greatly worsen, she defied reality as follows, saying:

“Job creation is continuing (sic).” 

“Household finances remain strong (sic). 

“Consumers are spending, and businesses are growing (sic).”

As earlier explained, industrial America was largely offshored to low-wage countries.

Largely a service economy, the vast majority of US jobs created are rotten part-time or temp ones, paying poverty or sub-poverty wages.

Countless numbers of US workers need two or more to survive.

With real inflation at 17.3%, not the phony 9.1% figure, most US households struggle financially to make ends meet — things worsening, not improving.

Isolated from real world reality, most US/Western politicians and bureaucrats, like Yellen, enjoy luxuries that ordinary people can’t afford.

Instead of setting the record straight on Thursday, she falsely claimed the following:

The US economy “is transitioning to more steady, sustainable growth (sic).”

“This path is consistent with one that eases inflationary pressures (sic), while maintaining labor market progress of the past 18 months (sic).”

“(O)ur economy (remains) resilient (sic).”

The Wall Street controlled, Powell-led, Fed created soaring inflation by unprecedented money printing madness.

The Biden regime made a bad situation worse by waging all-out sanctions war on Russia.

Along with the undemocratic Dem-controlled House and Senate, the White House compounded its wrecking ball agenda by approving $280 billion to boost US semiconductor development and production.

Instead of curbing inflation, the Fed and Biden regime are fueling it.

Recited scripted remarks on Thursday, the fake Biden said the so-called Chips and Science Act “is exactly what we need to be doing to grow our economy right now (sic).”

It’s fueling near-record high US inflation — not fighting it — by more massive spending instead of cutting back.

On Thursday, economist John Williams said the following about two consecutive quarters of US GDP decline:

“(A)new recession is in play, despite the official obfuscation already underway.”

And in June, there was “no noticeable slackening in headline money growth that would suggest any pending inflation relief.”

Based on how US economic data were calculated pre-1990 — before things were rigged to look rosier than reality — Williams explained the following:

Q II’s decline was -2.94%, following a -3.56% contraction in Q I.

As for curbing inflation, the Fed so far isn’t using its key tool in a meaningful way — cutting money supply growth.

Inflation is a monetary phenomenon — caused by too much money chasing too few goods.

There’s nothing “transitory” going on as Yellen falsely claimed, belatedly admitting she was “wrong.”

It’s out-of-control, likely to worsen and remain deep-seated — no matter how PPI and CPI data may be manipulated ahead to pretend otherwise.

Approval of $280 billion more government spending is throwing more fuel on the inflation fire, as follows:

The US Treasury will issue more debt to pay for increased spending.

The Wall Street controlled Fed will create more money to buy it.

The scheme is virtual taxation without representation by currency debasement, the root cause of inflation — transferring wealth from ordinary Americans to its privileged few by inflating their assets.

According to one estimate, Pelosi increased her super-wealth by $38.9 million in 2021 — while the vast majority of her 12th northern California district House constituents struggle to make ends meet.

She, Yellen and other Biden regime officials suppress the reality of hard times getting harder for most Americans. 

Nor do talking head TV economists and analysts.

While consumers know they’re paying more for goods and getting less, they understand little or nothing about the root cause — or that the nation’s ruling class is their mortal enemy.

Things are out-of-control, especially since the Fed created more money in 2020 than throughout US history earlier — over $6 trillion in a matter of months.

With US national debt at a whopping $30,611.9 trillion, repaying it is impossible — especially as it keeps rising.

The only way to curb it — a path not taken — is by cutting government spending and Fed money creation to pay for it.

Out-of-control inflation requires tough-minded measures to curb it.

Instead, things are going from bad to likely much worse by continued wrong-headed policymaking.

Although the actually letters “SHTF” contain a profanity, let’s just say that this term refers to some really horrible scenario happening when the “Sewage” Hits The Fan. For preppers and survivalists this means something like a terror attack, an economic collapse or a failure of the national power grid.

When the “SHTF” scenario unfolds, then some people, like most survivalists, believe that it will be every man for himself and the society will quickly disintegrate into something like the movie Mad Max.

However during this time people who prepare themselves for the urban survival lifestyles and survivalists believe this is the stage when a civilization is undergoing a complete breakdown and there’s a lot of unrest possibly from threats of civil unrest, a terrorist attack, war or an epidemic.

So you were confronted with a SHTF situation and you’ve still managed to pull through with great ease. Now that the situation is going back to normal and you may have to move back into your own home. But how do you deal with this SHTF aftermath? Who gives you the guarantee that you and your family won’t still be affected?

The fact is that it is still all in your hands to see that nothing happens to you and your family. There’s a certain way of dealing with the aftermath as well. And if that way is followed, you can be rest assured that nothing can possibly happen to you. Here are a few things that you can do to ensure that you life gets back to normal after the SHTF:

1. Before the SHTF, you’ll stock up on not only necessities but also “just in case items” if you have a safe place to do so. By doing so, you’ll be securing your future and, once the SHTF ends, you’ll have a more than normal stock of things that you will need.

2. Prepare yourself for a struggle and please don’t think it will be easy as living in the woods and hunting animals and having them for dinner. The aftermath will be such that once the bullets and the stored food are gone; you’ll be going back to the basics just like our ancestors did centuries before. It’s definitely not going to be a cake walk if that’s what you’re expecting it to be.

3. You have to be self sufficient. Learn how to grow your own food, how to make compost and biogas, etc. This will help you become self sufficient and not depend on others for the basic needs of you and your family.

4. It is said that 50% of people will be dead after SHTF. So you need to ensure that you don’t catch any infectious diseases. You can prevent this from happening to you and your family by maintaining your personal hygiene and avoiding contact with infected persons.

Be self sufficient by learning how to survive after the SHTF. There’s no substitute for training in urban survival. Rest assured that your money will be well spent in the long run.

Having an urban survival guide around when disaster strikes will make you and your family feel more prepared.

For over three decades, the United States of America has been chest-thumping about being the world’s “sole remaining superpower“. Some in the US establishment have even claimed that the US has become the world’s first “hyperpower“. And indeed, in the immediate aftermath of the Soviet dismantlement, the US-led political West seemed unbeatable, unilaterally starting wars across the globe, all under various pretexts such as “humanitarianism“ and the much-touted “War on Terror“.

The US and NATO used both of these excuses to invade dozens of other countries, be it former Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, etc. The US military seemed unstoppable and able to overcome any opponent, oftentimes by using air power only, with minimal ground engagements, at least until it got bogged down, which in itself was very useful for the ever-profit-hungry Military Industrial Complex.

Although many in the US establishment seemed convinced this will be a perpetual state of affairs, luckily for the world, the last decade proved the power of the belligerent thalassocracy is waning. While the Pentagon could count on hundreds of thousands of battle-ready soldiers during most of the 1990s and early 2000s, in recent years, there has been a significant drop in young Americans’ interest to go die or get maimed for life in one of America’s many pointless invasions and general aggression against the world.

Even though the Pentagon found other ways to continue with its imperialist belligerence, primarily through an exponential increase in the use of unmanned combat systems around the globe, indiscriminately targeting civilians under the ever-convenient pretext of the “War on Terror“, most Americans have become aware of the fact that the US power (albeit still significant) is fading away faster than anyone would’ve expected just a decade ago.

A new poll conducted by the YouGov/Economist is the latest proof of this public opinion shift. The project polled Americans about the probability of various “dire political scenarios“ and found that 50% of the US population considers that America will lose its global superpower status within a decade. The poll also found that nearly half (47%) of Americans think that a “total economic collapse“ is inevitable.

“Among 15 potential future scenarios involving instability or political violence, the one that most Americans consider likely in the next decade is that the U.S. ceases to be a global superpower (50% say this), followed by a total collapse of the U.S. economy (47%). Each of the 15 dire scenarios is considered somewhat or very likely in the next decade by at least 20% of Americans. […] 37% of Americans say [a civil war] is at least somewhat likely to occur,“ the YouGov poll found.

The most surprising aspect of the poll must be the staggering nearly 40% of US citizens who consider civil war “at least somewhat likely.“ With a population of approximately 330 million people and being among the world’s most armed nations, such a prospect seems rather terrifying. However, it’s hardly surprising, especially given the sheer level of polarization of the US society, regardless if it’s based on race, religion, sex/gender, identity, ideology or any other parameter which the parties and various interest groups in the US are trying to exploit and use for political, financial and power gain.

“[…] After an end to the U.S.’s global-superpower status and economic collapse, the next scenario is that the U.S. will cease to be a democracy (39%). Democrats believe the U.S. will become a fascist dictatorship (31%), while Republicans think it will be a communist one (21%). Two-thirds of Republicans (65%) believe that total economic collapse is at least somewhat likely, compared to only 38% of Democrats. Around half of Republicans (48%) say it’s likely that the government will confiscate citizens’ firearms; only 17% of Democrats say this. Republicans are also more likely than Democrats to believe there will be a total breakdown of law and order (49% vs. 31%),“ according to the poll.

Although it’s expected to see a larger number of Republicans being more pessimistic about the country’s future under a Democrat president and government, the percentage of Democrats who aren’t particularly optimistic is quite telling. It’s more than clear that many DNC voters themselves are unsatisfied with the policies of the current US government.

“[…] Republicans and Democrats believe the U.S. will cease to be a democracy in the next decade. Democrats are slightly more likely to say the U.S. will be a fascist dictatorship (37% vs. 32%). Republicans, on the other hand, are three times as likely to say it will be a communist dictatorship (31% vs. 13%). In terms of the possibility of a civil war, Republicans are likelier to believe there will be one between members of each party (45% vs. 35%) or between people from red and blue states (36% vs. 30%). Democrats are slightly more likely to believe there will be a war between the poor and rich (37% vs. 25%) or between cities and rural areas (23% vs. 20%). Democrats and Republicans are equally likely (31%) to expect a civil war between racial groups,“ the poll concluded.

Although the opinions vary significantly based on the ideological/party background, the very fact so many Americans think the US is turning into a dictatorship and that a civil war is a likely scenario speaks volumes of the unflattering state of the much-touted “American democracy“ which has often been used as yet another pretext for America’s war against the world.

Over decades, if not centuries, the US dollar has been the world’s leading currency. The central banks all over the world hold an enormous part of their investments in the US currency, while some private companies use it for international transactions. With this, the trade in US treasury has boosts the American economy and greases the wheels to the global financial system.

But, many experts predicted a tipping point will come that would cause the dollar to collapse, thus lead to a global economic problem. In this scenario, many investors would rush to other currencies to run off further losses. This would mean a breakdown of the national economy. The aftermath of this scenario could likely lead to a dollar collapse.

What is Dollar Collapse?

Full of sudden currency collapses have happened in history. A dollar collapse is characterized to a long-term depression in economic activity, increased poverty and a disruption of the social order. One of the primary roots of any collapse is the lack of confidence in the stability or efficacy of money to serve as an effective store of value or medium of exchange.

The main sign of a dollar collapse is when the value of US dollar drops. There are some conceivable scenarios that could cause a sudden crisis for the dollar. When there is a great threat of high inflation and high debt, in which rising consumer prices force the government to raise interest rates.

If the US entered a steep recession without dragging the rest of the world with it, anyone who holds dollar-denominated assets might sell them at any cost that includes foreign governments and no one wants to buy them, worst would leave the dollar. Thus, anytime, everyone should prepare for the worst, but you can prepare for a dollar collapse through these economic indicators.

Will the U.S. Dollar Collapse?

The collapse of the US dollar remains ambiguous until now. Several articles and websites urge us to prepare for the coming recession, but are the preconditions of a dollar collapse have been occurring? Foreign exporters do not want a dollar collapse because it would likely create a worldwide panic that frets the global economy.

Even if the United States had to default some debt obligations, there is a little indication that the world would let the dollar collapse and risk possible depression. But the collapse on Wall Street has been alarming and the US government must have a choice whether to default on the national debt or destroy the dollar.

If US dollar collapse happens, it might come to pass. No one would predict it. That’s because the signs of forthcoming failure are difficult to see. It is imperative for the government to take a necessary intervention to bring an economy back from collapse. Yet, this can often be slow to remedy the problem.

Three Triggers of a Dollar Collapse

US Currency is weakening

When US dollar weakens, it suggests an adverse financial effect. A weaker currency would encourage exports and make imports inflated. This would mean decreasing a nation’s trade deficit over time. Every business will have a certain degree of effect depending on the increased price of goods and services.

A weak dollar can boost the gross domestic product during an economic recession. Because exported goods cost less, foreign buyers buy them in greater amounts. It can also result in higher inflation expectations and higher commodity prices. Furthermore, it could lead the Federal Reserve to react and tighten monetary policy.

The emergence of China and Europe Economy

China ranks first among the major foreign holders of treasury securities in the US. If China’s economy continues to grow at the current rates, they will surpass the United States as the largest global market by 2020. The largest world economy drives the most investor interest. In this scenario, there would be a massive demand for Chinese Yuan currency. Investors would sell US dollars to buy the Yuan, causing a big sell-off.

The next most popular currency after the dollar is the euro, base from the International Monetary Fund (IMF)  data. But it comprises less than 30% of central bank reserves. The Eurozone debt crisis weakened the euro as a practical global currency.

The emergence of major foreign holders of US treasuries is a potential factor to a dollar collapse. Nonetheless, the US dollar must be quite resilient to bar this kind of occurrence.

The Risk of Growing Government Debt & Central Banks

Base from the data, the outstanding US public debt from March 2017 to March 2018 is rising. The debt stood at around 21.09 trillion U.S. dollars as of March 2018 and forecast the gross federal debt of the United States for fiscal years until 2028 . Public debt, also known as national and governmental debt, is the debt owed by the nations’ central government. A government debt is an indirect debt of the countries’ taxpayers which the US government budget continues to run at a deficit and is increasing at alarming rates.

According to the Federal Reserve and U.S. Department of Treasury,

foreign countries costs over trillion dollars of debts like China (about $1.17 trillion) and Japan (about $ 1.06 trillion) held the highest percentages as of January 2018. It appears that central banks will do its power to save the situation, but remember that central banks can also lose control. This situation would be very demanding for the government with high debt loads.

Six Ways That Will Prepare and Protect You from a Dollar Collapse

A dollar collapse suggests an economic plight. It is akin to deep recession that scarcity and shortage of resources would occur. One must prepare for the worst scenario and to respond to this kind of uncertainty, you must be mobile. Here are few ways to prepare and protect yourself and survive a dollar collapse.

1. Prepare your Finances and Start being Smart with your Money Now.

One of the most important things you can do when it comes to financial preparedness is to put together a smart savings plan . If things go bad, having a plan of action will help increase your chances of surviving the chaos.

· You start with cutting all unnecessary expenses and spend that money to pay down your debt. The possibility of losing your home to debt collectors is a very real prospect.

· An Emergency Fund is a potential aid to prepare for financial troubles. It will give you stress-free during hard times. It can provide you with a fund to buy last minute supplies once things start to go bad.

· Remember to always have a cash on hand. When things go wrong, there is a very real possibility that the banks may freeze your accounts. It’s important to have cash that is accessible, either from a savings account or a cash box in your home. This can drift you over in an emergency until you can access money in your emergency fund.

2. Create a stockpile of Survival Essentials

Now is the perfect time to buy long-term supplies that you will need to survive in the future.

· Start stockpiling food and long-term supplies. In any type of crisis, especially during a collapse, food, water and long-lasting consumables are essential and indispensable. You will likely see main supply chain shortages and problems, making these types of supplies one of your most important pre-collapse concerns.

· Put together a supply of first-aid & medical supplies on hand. Once you create a kit, in the event of a collapse, you may not be able to shop for these supplies, so t’s important to have them on hand.

· Make sure you have all of the necessary supplies for survival . Include personal items such as medications for yourself and members of your family. Check the kit to make sure nobody has used any of the supplies. Also, check the end dates and replace expired items.

3. Secure your Home

· To prepare for a dollar collapse is to choose your shelter type. A separate shelter is designed to survive from natural disasters or man-made weapons or attacks. During this kind of crisis, power systems may fail and robbers and scavengers may threaten your home. Take precautions to protect yourself and your home.

· Another thing is to create two sources of electricity. One source could be solar. Hook it up to your home and then run the system underground. The second source might be an underground generator. You will use this in the event of a total loss of power. Keep your energy sources hidden underground to protect them.

· Consider purchasing self-defense tools . Self-defense tools are generally harmless. They are used to prevent an attack by rendering the invader futile. You can use everyday objects, such as baseball bats or gears. Other tools you may buy like pepper spray, hand-held stun guns, Taser devices or Sonic alarms.

· Set an alarm system in your home. Home alert alarm systems are easy and inexpensive to install and maintain. Wireless security systems notify you if a trespasser is approaching your home. Hidden cameras allow you to see internal and exterior areas in your home where a trespasser may be present.

One of the prevalent risks you’re going to face during dollar collapse is the threat posed by people. Learn everything you can about self-defense. When things go bad, you are going to need a way to protect yourself and those you love, your home.

4. Prepare your Family

· Make sure that every member of the family is mindful of the situation. To prepare for a dollar collapse, you need have to guarantee that your whole family is ready with your preparations. This means informing them in honest terms what is about to happen and telling them what they should be doing. It is important that everyone takes the situation . Otherwise, they will not be mentally prepared in the event that collapse happens.

· Each family member must be informed of the steps you have taken to prepare your finances, essential supplies, food, and shelter. Instruct them on doing the same.

· Every member should understand the relationship between inflation and economic growth. Explain to them the adverse impact of a dollar collapse on your family’s socio-economic life. 

· Consider including other family members, neighbors, or a community group in your preparations. Make sure that these are people who are reliable and will put to work for the benefit of the group.

5. Equip your Mind

Even more important than supplies, is survival knowledge and awareness. Knowledge is the key to your survival, and now is the time to get plenty. During any kind of crisis and survival, including a dollar collapse, knowledge is going to be your most powerful ally.

· Read books on survival and preparedness, then start collecting information on how to live a more independent lifestyle.

· Do your own research and don’t rely on government spun stories, or crafted in the media; you need to do your own research too. Check the reliability of the information you get to prepare for the collapse.

6. Expect a Financial Crisis

The major risk you are going to face in a dollar collapse is the downturn of your finances. It is important to be ready beforehand on what to do and what not to do on your financial systems.

· Check and track the price of commercial commodities. Changes in the prices of commodities affect the country’s economy and the value of the US dollar. An increase in commodity prices is associated with an increase in inflation. Increased inflation correlates with economic growth. But, if commodity prices drop, inflation slows, which indicates an economic decline.

· Take note of the financial markets. Big ups and downs in the markets are a red flag signaling a general decline.

· Watch the oil prices. When oil prices increase, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) goes up too. Remember that the fluctuation of oil prices has a macroeconomic impact. If it is increasing, then the value of goods and services also increases.

What Life Will Be Like After A Dollar Collapse?

Everybody else could tell that a dollar collapse would be coming. A sudden dollar collapse would create global economic depression. It would allow the US government to come up with a currency system and a kind of economic strategies to avoid grave consequences.

· Demand for Treasury’s would drop, and interest rates would go up. US import prices would skyrocket, causing inflation.

· Irregular public services like school system experience frequent strikes that shut them down, power issues and outages become more frequent.

· Unemployment would worsen and more people will experience job loss or layoffs. More people are displaced and finding a job will become almost impossible.

· An increase in criminal activity will definitely happen. People will become desperate to feed themselves and their families and more people will be more willing to cross the line into criminal activity to get what they need.

· Lots of people will lose access to their healthcare when they lose their jobs. Healthcare appointments may become more difficult to schedule and it may take longer to get in to see a doctor because more people are getting sick and need care.

Although it is advisable to be prepared with self-defense skills in order to protect yourself, your friends or your family against an unprovoked attack, this doesn’t give you the right to go out and use these skills on the street unless it is purely for self-defense reasons. If you use self-defense strategies for the wrong reasons it is a punishable offence and you could be convicted. It’s not a matter of he hit me so I hit him back in self-defense, that’s not how the law works. The aim of this article is to give you an understanding of self-defense and the law.

Street Self-Defense – The Retreat

The first thing that the law states is that you should retreat and avoid all means of physical confrontation if you can do. So if you can run and escape then that should be your first option for street self-defense, this shows that you have no intention of being involved in the use of violence. This may appear to be the obvious thing to do but there are a lot of people who just abuse their self-defense skills and fight for fun, this is what gets them into trouble with the law. If there is nowhere to run, shout out and try attracting some attention from bystanders, this alone can distract your attacker and end the conflict. We understand that the Retreat isn’t always an option but if it is there for the taking then please use it as your first choice. Report the incident to the Police immediately.

Street Self-Defense – The Trap

If you are unable to retreat then you need to implement further self-defense strategies. So if for example you are walking down a dark lane and you are pushed into a corner with nowhere to run and there is nobody else nearby, what do you do? This is what I call The Trap and the retreat isn’t an option, it’s not possible. Fear will ignite inside of you; your natural instinct will be to use your self-defense skills to protect yourself. If you are unable to escape and you need to fight to get away, the law permits you to do so by using reasonable force. The problem a lot of victims have at this stage is that if they are winning over their assailant, the pure adrenaline pumping through their body is uncontrollable and they then become the attacker. As stated in the retreat, you should escape at your first opportunity and not beat your assailant unconscious. The law of street self-defense under these circumstances would be to use reasonable force, but what is reasonable force?

Street Self-Defence – Reasonable Force

There are widespread concerns regarding the interpretation of reasonable force, what is it and how much force can actually be used under the circumstances if street self-defense must be used. It is without doubt that the court will determine if your actions are acceptable, whether or not you believe that the only way to avoid harm to yourself would be to hurt the attacker. The Jury will decide this by looking at a person’s physical characteristics and qualities, size, gender, strength, age etc. They will also take into consideration the circumstances and surroundings at the scene of the attack. You are not required by law to take unreasonable risks with your own safety, therefore if you can’t escape and you feel threatened with your life, then you don’t have to wait to strike. If you feel that striking is imminent to protect yourself from harm then you are permitted to do so. However you must act with reasonable force and there are two types:

Deadly Vs. Non-Deadly Force Deadly force involves protecting yourself with the use of a weapon such as a gun, knife, metal bar, baseball bat etc. This kind of force must be avoided in all circumstances unless your attacker is using it against you, in which case you have the right to respond with the same level of aggression. This kind of attack will almost definitely result in serious injury or death and in court you will have to prove that your assailant was going to attack you in this manner.

Non-deadly force is a level of force where in street self-defense you will only use methods such as punching, kicking and grappling to protect yourself. However, this must still be controlled and only enough force used to enable you to escape the situation. Once you are free to get away, your safest option is to stop fighting and run. Report the event to the police.

Conclusion:

1) Avoid physical confrontation by getting away if possible.

2) If you need to fight then you must take into consideration how much force you need to use to escape, don’t abuse your rights to self-Defense.

3) You are allowed to strike first if you are trapped and in fear of your safety.

4) Never use deadly force unless your attacker intends to use it against you.

5) Always report the incident to the local police immediately.

The law may vary between countries and states but these basic guidelines will apply internationally. For your own safety and the safety of your family, I would strongly advise that you prepare yourself with street self-defense strategies to avoid the possibility of a traumatic experience.

For many years, a number of economists, investors and entrepreneurs have been predicting that a new depression is prepared to become the new great depression for a number of reasons, but I personally consider that this has been mainly caused to the irrational growth of fiat currency as the easy way that most governments policy have responded to the crisis.

Also, a growing number of regular people believe that this crisis will wipe out those who are not ready, or unaware to the warnings, and do not take action.

Let’s start first what economic recession means. Recession is a period where the general economy declines the gross domestic product or GDP for two or more consecutive quarters. And when a severe and prolonged recession persists it might end up into an economic depression, which is a consistent decline of the GDP in more than ten percent.

Since 1971, the total credit in the US expanded from $1 trillion to $50 trillion, which means 50 times; and the eruption of this credit system brought an extraordinary global prosperity, but at the same has hit its limit, and no additional credit will be available. This situation has created a new threat for the global economy by making countries and world population unable to repay it and having this current credit-driven economic system will end up into an economic depression, because both the public and private sector cannot carry more debt.

A gradual and global economic crisis has been installed after the Bretton Woods System vanished in 1971, when the United States stopped backing dollars with gold, and the nature of money system changed and a new economic system, which overpassed capitalism and originated a “New Credit System” that grew up excessive and enormously to subsist. Now, the global economy has begun to contract significant and continuously mainly in Europe (Greece and Spain), and it will go from a global recession into a depression or the next new great depression, with will bring catastrophic economic, social and geopolitical consequences, which is unfortunately not inevitable.

Currently we can see a gradual financial turmoil in Europe but we are going to see giant changes in the next years both socially and economically, bigger than anything we have ever seen, and much bigger than the great depression in the 1930’s. Why? Because most of the countries in the world continue printing irresponsibly more fiat currency in order to pay back their debts and liabilities.

Most worldwide leaders has continued issuing, over the last decade, endless supplies of cheap money (fiat money), making false expectations, proliferating speculation, and finally creating false hopes for the future. The global economy is now very ill, has a bad prognosis and even after worldwide national elections during 2012, the current and new government leaders will bring back countless takeover schemes, create “stimulus packages and bailouts” to recover the economy. This scheme will create more global inflation, whose symptom is the price elevation.

This new Next Great Depression is not only going to affect the whole humanity but it will also hit very severely the unaware people and those who are either not prepared or expecting the government will solve their problems.

You don’t have to believe what I say, but it would be better if you do your own research. The worst you can do is ignoring this urgent warning and continue living as nothing happened, everything is OK and nothing is wrong. Let me tell you something “DO not ignore it for very long and ACT”. This will happen no matter what people believe it or not.

In the meantime I allow myself to mention some suggestions available now:

Buy precious metals. There are some strategies and a proper way how to do it correctly even with very some money. There is still time now, before it reaches their peak very soon.

Stay away from or sell your Stocks, Mutual funds, and Retirement Investments. You may want to consider using the capital gains to buy undervalued assets or smart investments like ultra-rich people do.

Create Smart Debt. Regarding eliminate your debt it can be done in a very creative way too. Even though if you do not have a great financial option, seek guidance from how successful does and get rid of those traditional experts telling you “invest in mutual funds and diversify your portfolio”.

Get advice from Successful people. Even at either great or a critical situation, follow what rich and successful people do, by modeling and copying their strategies.

Always get more Financial Education. Read, research and become member of great forums, learn from savvy investors, and investigate which investment offers you a great Return On your Investment (ROI). Adopt a life-long financial education student them and take action.

Target a great Network Marketing Company. Try to get involved with one at early stage, and get a great coach and mentor. This is not a rich-quick business to get a lot of money overnight, but you will be able to create a nice residual income with your own effort. This is by far a much better option that getting a regular job.

Start An Online Business Based On High Demand. Find a great niche in the internet, become an affiliate marketer and partner with different network affiliates. This option just requires just a little capital.

Learn About Survival Techniques. This goes beyond getting just self-defence tools and firearms.

Buy and store Food and Water for six months at least. This is not an Armageddon mentality but it is much better “To be ready and prepared for the worse”. I mean “Learn how to be ready and prepared for the unexpected”, an acquire skills to survive daily with minimum supplies. You will find when the next Great Depression comes after collapse of the US Dollar, all goods will become extremely expensive; maybe 10 to 20 times its current price. It’s important to think about in getting skills rather than storing stuff only.

As you can see the objective in this article is to point out all problems are opportunities for a breakthrough. As Napoleon Hill stated: “Every adversity, every failure, and every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit”. So, if you believe you can either “create great wealth or nothing can be done” you will achieve it. I personally believe that this is an inevitable challenge and you can do well, really well or really bad, but it is up to you.

If you do not take advantage of the opportunities this new economic problem presents, the economic and geopolitical consequences will be disastrous.

When it comes to surviving an economic depression, people automatically think of money, food and shelter. While all of those are very important, there are also other things that you will need if you truly want to survive the coming economic depression. The first thing is warm clothing. This is something that most people fail to think about.

Having warm clothing is very important during an economic depression, especially if you live in a cold climate. So store up plenty of blankets, jackets and other cold weather items. If you live in a region where it rains a lot, make sure you have adequate rain attire.

The second thing you will need are lighters and matches. Having lighters and matches will allow you to boil water, light a fire and cook your food. Again, all things that are essential to your survival during an economic depression. You should also store up candles as they will come in handy during this type of situation. Not only do they provide light but they will also provide some heat.

The third thing you will need are flashlights. It is a great chance that you won’t have any electricity during this time. So flashlights are very important. You will want to get the ones that you crank because they will last longer. If you are going to use the battery powered ones, make sure you start stocking up in advance so you will have plenty of batteries.

Another thing that most people don’t think about are comfortable shoes. In an economic depression everything is scarce. You might not be able to put gas in your car which means you will be forced to walk where ever you need to go. That’s why having comfortable shoes is extremely important. You don’t want to be walking around for hours in shoes that hurt your feet.

And last but not least, you will need equipment that will allow you to communicate with family and friends. In an economic depression you won’t have a landline that you can use to make a phone call when you need to. So you will have to figure out a way to communicate during this time. If you have a cell phone, that’s great. You can even use walkie talkies. No matter what it is, just make sure you have a plan in place that will allow you to communicate and call for help if you should need it.
