The Economic Collapse
Aug 18, 2011

If you thought that 2011 was a bad year for the world economy, just wait until you see what happens in 2012. The U.S. and Europe are both dealing with unprecedented debt problems, the financial markets are flailing about wildly, austerity programs are being implemented all over the globe, prices on basics such as food are soaring and a lot of consumers are flat out scared right now. Many analysts now fear that a “perfect storm” could be brewing and that we could actually be headed for an economic apocalypse in 2012. Hopefully that will not happen. Hopefully our leaders can keep the global economy from completely falling apart. But right now, things don’t look good. After a period of relative stability, things are starting to become unglued once again. The next major financial panic could literally happen at any time. Sadly, if we do see an economic apocalypse in 2012, it won’t be the wealthy that suffer the most. It will be the poor, the unemployed, the homeless and the hungry that feel the most pain.

The following are 20 signs that we could be headed for an economic apocalypse in 2012….

#1 Back in 2008 we saw major rioting around the world due to soaring food prices, and now global food prices are on the rise again. Global food prices in July were 33 percent higher than they were one year ago. Price increases for staples such as maize (up 84 percent), sugar (up 62 percent) and wheat (up 55 percent) are absolutely devastating poverty-stricken communities all over the planet. For example, one expert is warning that 800,000 children living in the Horn of Africa could die during this current famine.

#2 The producer price index in the U.S. has increased at an annual rate of at least 7.0% for the last three months in a row. We are starting to see huge price increases all over the place. For example, Starbucks recently jacked up the price of a bag of coffee by 17 percent. If inflation keeps accelerating like this we could be facing some very serious problems by the time 2012 rolls around.

#3 The U.S. “Misery Index” (unemployment plus inflation) recently hit a 28 year high and many believe that it is going to go much, much higher.

#4 Jared Bernstein, the former chief economist for Vice President Joe Biden, says that the unemployment rate in this country will not go below 8% before the 2012 election. In fact, Bernstein says that “the most optimistic forecast would be for about eight-and-a-half percent.”

#5 Working class jobs in the United States continue to disappear at an alarming rate. Back in 1967, 97 percent of men with a high school degree between the ages of 30 and 50 had jobs. Today, that figure is 76 percent.

#6 There are all kinds of indications that U.S. economic growth is about to slow down even further. For example, pre-orders for Christmas toys from China are way down this year.

#7 One recent survey found that 9 out of 10 U.S. workers do not expect their wages to keep up with the rising cost of basics such as food and gasoline over the next year.

A d v e r t i s e m e n t

#8 U.S. consumer confidence is now at its lowest level in 30 years.

#9 Today, an all-time record 45.8 million Americans are on food stamps. It is almost inconceivable that the largest economy on earth could have so many people dependent on the government for food.

#10 As the economy crumbles, we are also witnessing the fabric of society beginning to come apart. The recent flash mob crimes that we are starting to see all over America are just one example of this.

#11 Some desperate Americans are already stealing anything that they can get their hands on. For example, according to the American Kennel Club, dog thefts are up 32 percent this year.

#12 Small businesses all over the United States are having a really difficult time getting loans right now. Perhaps if the Federal Reserve was not paying banks not to make loans things would be different.

#13 The U.S. national debt is like a giant boulder that our economy must constantly carry around on its back, and it is growing by billions of dollars every single day. Right now the debt of the federal government is $14,592,242,215,641.90. It has gone up by nearly 4 trillion dollars since Barack Obama took office. SP has already stripped the U.S. of its AAA credit rating, and more downgrades are certain to come if the U.S. does not get its act together.

#14 Tensions between the United States and China are rising again. A new opinion piece on chinadaily.com is calling for the Chinese government to use its holdings of U.S. debt as a “financial weapon” against the United States if the U.S. follows through with a plan to sell more arms to Taiwan. The U.S. and China are the two biggest economies in the world, so any trouble between them would mean economic trouble for the rest of the globe as well.

#15 Most state and local governments in the U.S. are deep in debt and flat broke. Many of them are slashing jobs at a feverish pace. According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, state and local governments have eliminated more than half a million jobs since August 2008. UBS Investment Research is projecting that state and local governments in the U.S. will cut450,000 more jobs by the end of 2012. How those jobs will be replaced is anyone’s guess.

#16 The U.S. dollar continues to get weaker and weaker. This is renewing calls for a new global currency to be created to replace the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency of the world.

#17 The European sovereign debt crisis continues to get worse. Countries like Portugal, Italy and Greece are on the verge of an economic apocalypse. All of the financial problems in Europe are even beginning to affect the core European nations. For example, German industrial production declined by 1.1% in June. There are all kinds of signs that the economy of Europe is slowing down and is heading for a recession. French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel are proposing that a new “economic government” for Europe be set up to oversee this debt crisis, but nothing that the Europeans have tried so far has done much to solve things.

#18 The Federal Reserve is so desperate to bring some sort of stability to financial markets that it has stated that it will likely keep interest rates near zero all the way until mid-2013. The Federal Reserve is operating in “panic mode” almost constantly now and they are almost out of ammunition. So what is going to happen when the real trouble starts?

#19 Central banks around the world certainly seem to be preparing for something. According to the World Gold Council, central banks around the globe purchased more gold during the first half of 2011 than they did all of last year.

#20 Often perception very much influences reality. One recent survey found that 48 percent of Americans believe that it is likely that another great Depression will begin within the next 12 months. If people expect that a depression is coming and they quit spending money that actually increases the chance that an economic downturn will occur.

There is already a tremendous amount of economic pain on the streets of America, but unfortunately it looks like things may get even worse in 2012.

The once great economic machine that was handed down to us by our forefathers is falling to pieces all around us and we are in debt up to our eyeballs. The consequences of our bad economic decisions are hurting some of the most vulnerable members of our society the most.

As the following video shows, large numbers of formerly middle class Americans are now living in their cars or sleeping in the streets….

It is a crying shame what is happening out there on the streets of America today.

Please say a prayer for all of those that are sleeping in cars or tents or under bridges tonight.

Soon even more Americans will be joining them.

You’re all missing the point here…Erectile Dysfuntion is the leading indicater for heart disease!!! Wa’sup with that??? Y’all have a goodin’!!!

“All ‘HAIL’ Thermal Expansion!!!”

HillbillyJihad TheBubbaLiberationFront
- Heart disease = weak pump
  
  Weak pump = no hot blood to extremities
  
  No hot blood to extremities = No Thermal Expansion
It’s not bad economic decisions – IT WAS PLANNED!!!!!!!!!!
and nobody sees its all of the politicians that are helping do this. They are all following the u.n.’s orders.
- Dude, they started the ball rolling before there was a u.n.
  - That’s because the orders come through the Federal Reserve.
  - thats true but I was putting it in a modern time frame. since 1945 even though what battle said is right..1913 is when congress funded the federal reserve. I wasn’t trying to go into a long post. just stating the obvious.
  - Yeah, 1931…..
Perhaps we will return to valuing those things which are of true value.

We’ve ignored the lessons of history for far too long.
Fear not, Bloomberg news just released an article stating that the economy is growing in key sectors and that retail sales and factory production is climbing. companies like BJ’s, Ambercombie and Fitch, Staples, and Target all exceeded earings estimate. Looks like we’re out of the woods and back on the road to recovery. Quick, jump right back into the stock market and cash in on this new found sucess story
- “More Americans than forecast filed applications for unemployment benefits last week, signaling the labor market is struggling two years into the economic recovery.
  
  Jobless claims climbed by 9,000 to 408,000 in the week ended Aug. 13, the highest in a month, Labor Department figures showed today in Washington. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg News projected a rise in claims to 400,000, according to the median forecast. The number of people on unemployment benefit rolls rose, while those receiving extended payments fell.”

I urge all Americans to be vigilant in their choice of product purchases. BUY AMERICAN whenever and wherever possible. Only American workers pay US taxes, NOT foreign. Buying foreign makes them stronger, us weaker.
There are plenty of US owned, US made products, just check to see. Examples are tires (Goodyear, Cooper), hand tools, firearms, autos, auto parts, furniture, building materials, foodstuffs, etc. Unfortunately the consumer electronic industry is just about completely gone, we have little choice there.
I will pay extra for US made goods, even in my professional purchases, I hope many of you will too!
I can really see the 2012 election as a boiling point. Either way if Obama isn’t elected or gets re-elected there is going to be a lot of angry people.

A military coup d’etat began in 2008 with the introduction of Sarah Palin as John McCain’s running mate.

Obama is not the president, he’s the acting president. He disappeared for 2 weeks after his election win only to reappear looking exhausted sitting next to John McCain, with a bad poker face, for a press photo shoot. Obama is now a Pentagon puppet. Who did you think writes his teleprompter?

This is the real story that the media is not and cannot report on. Here’s what Obama, Osama, Biden, Bin Laden, the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists, and Sarah Palin had to do with the last election and the military’s overthrow of our government. Search ElectNoMoreSpys.blogspot
- I just looked at your site, and I think you need to get some help. I am very sad for your situation. I pray that God will help you get help.
  - How many ID’s are you using today? Battle Hymn as in battle him isn’t enough for today?
    
    This is a prime example of how Psy-ops is working here. Notice how this person immediately attacks my credibility without posing a logical argument. The majority of the comments here are to distract you and divert your attention. Where Psy-ops is failing here is that most people are smart enough to make up their own minds. This isn’t a site where people posting need to be discredited. This is what goes on at every major news site and unfortunately for the feds is doesn’t work here.
As I have stated in other posts, 2012 is going to be a very interesting year. DC will try and bring us all down, but they will not be successful. Too many of us are on the up and up, and not at all happy with government. Too many of refuse to give up our homes and what we have worked so hard for. Yep, can’t wait to see the globalists downfall. Praise be to God!
And the situation still hasn’t hit enough people yet. Until it hits a certain point where there is real, rather than orchestrated unrest, things will slowly continue to fall unravel and there is no effort to stop it. There seems to be nothing but media reported demoralization. I don’t see much hope people don’t want the truth and don’t demand it. They can’t handle it. Cowards. And the new invasion is economic and not by military force. The whole world at the top is linked and just trying to get one up on the other financially/resources. So globally ‘some’ will be affected by the global financial rot. Those who work are against those who are not because they don’t want any disruption to their financial situation. Those with financial means have no desire to have increased taxes to assist people. What to do with the people, every option is has a cost. Not much hope in reality, not much hope. A world of people let 9/11 happen and said nothing. The government is still talking about the so called victims of Flight 93 in Shanksville (where no plane went down). Are people upset? No. Nothing. Reality is staring at us right in the face. The people aren’t doing, the intellectuals aren’t doing…no one is doing and no one wants to lead or get involved in the Real world. I will be the picket sign of one as I ease of the Internet with my disgust. I hope the police spare the teeth as they bash my head in and taser me.
- I can’t understand why Americans don’t belive that economics is war, fought will the cash registers rather than guns and bombs. When we buy foreign, we are supporting the enemy like China whose No. 1 goal is to bring the USA down.
I’ve been saying this and saying this but none will believe me. In 2012 the economy WILL collapse, guaranteed. I’ve been saying that for years before this article even existed. The New World Order is less physical as it is spiritual.
The people have no one to blame but themselves. They have been brainwashed by the criminals in office and big business into a state of squalor.
Yeah, all the bull dung about “the rich should pay no taxes, they create the jobs” is total nonsense. They have duped the hillbillies and trailer trash so that the rich can become richer and the people poorer who gladly accept their poverty as long as the game is on TV and beer is in the fridge.
This country is gone, finished. Just like places such as Afghanistan which is impossible to democratize, the American public is so far gone, they are incapable of realizing what is really going on.

There is an awful lot of homelessness..very sad and tragic. I watched the video and it reminded me of our hidden homeless here in Canada. By hidden I mean “media”.

Toronto had a “major Tent city”..then in the early 2000. A home depot had the police evict these poor souls. Of course THEY had to make it sound like these souls were the enemy, making the majority of the residents out to be awful vagrants with addictions etc…

Vancouver British Columbia/Victoria..lots of tent cities/homelessness..
The list goes on!

The police will pay for following through and not allowing these souls to be fed.
I pray a blessing on those went to jail for doing good!
- yes, Tellit, we must carry our character and behavior with us in this world and beyond. fools believe they can escape justice because they are obeying The Lord or The Boss or some other Officer. no, it’s YOU doing it and it’s on YOU forever.
  - Right on..I don’t know how these people who carry out evil continue in “good conscience”..except the Bible talks about peoples hearts hardening and conscience being seared as evil increases..
    
    Each of us is accountable before our God for our deeds!
    - That’s right.
- i’m not suprised about tent cities in vancouver.
  the average house mortage is around $600,000…this is absurd.
This is not the time of the Horsemen, will you relax people? Well ok, not relax, but program yourselves into this not being that time.

2012 will be big time deterioration in America form the people. The people will be in conflict. The people will start stripping everything apart to sell to the Chinese for scrap.

2013 is when the depression sets in. The year when it wont just be 2013USARiots, but 2013ChinaRiots, 2013EuroRiots, 2013AfricanRiots, 2013SouthAmericanRiots, 2013AustralianRiots, 2013ArabRiots.
- By 2017 America will be bustling like China was just 3 years ago. There will be so much money people wont know what to do with it- THE FINAL PONZI SCHEME BEFORE THE DAY OF THE HORSEMEN OUTLINED IN REVELATIONS CHAPTER 6.
  
  THEY WILL DO THIS NEW PONZI SCHEME UNTIL THE BEAST IS GROOMED THEN IT WILL ALL CRASH AND THE DAY OF THE HORSEMEN WILL BE HERE, THIS WILL ALSO BE THE DAY OF THE DENVER AIRPORT AS WELL.
- THERE WILL ALSO BE CRAZY CRIME IN 2012. WILD HAPPENINGS LIKE HIGH STAKES ROBBERIES WITH NATIONALLY TELEVISED CHASES FEATURING WHITE LESBOS WITH VW BEETLE TURBOS, AND ARMOR PIERCING AK-47S AND SHIT.
  - 2012: MOTHERFUCKERS UNEMPLOYED FOR LIKE 92 YEARS JUST BOLDLY PICKING LOCKS IN THE DAY TIME AND SHIT.
    
    2012USACrime
  - IN THE MEAN TIME….what can we as a nation do to turn this mess around…I wish
    
    we could all keep focusing on HOW to prevent this….we are aware, I think….
    
    NOW WHAT?
    
    Alex, help those of us awake to know what you think can be a positive going forward…
    
    My family members like the majority of the REST of the USA et al….say,
    
    “I know it’s bad, but WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT?”
    
    This is the issue,,,most people don’t understand what they can conceivable do about it
    
    all…TO KNOW is one thing….and then WHAT????
    - THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS PREPARE AND GATHER PROVISIONS, AND TRY TO TELL PEOPLE WHAT’S GOING ON.
      
      IN 2013 YOU HAVE THESE CHOICES:
      
      Riot
      Head to the Hills
      Hide at Home
      Just ignore it
      Let God Take the Wheel
      Take a political Side
      Be an independent and do what you want
      
      PICK ONE.
      
      BUT HAVE SOME PROVISION.
RON PAUL 2012, RON PAUL 2012, RON PAUL 2012

Realizing that those millions on Food Stamps fear NOT re-electing Obama is reason enough to

vote for RON PAUL…….Fiscal responsibility, fiscal responsibility – it’s as simple as that.

The country is broke,,,,,the food stamps will be gone anyway, going forward…again, NOT a matter of

IF, it is now a matter of WHEN…..if we don’t initiate some change at the people level.

We Must elect someone that has the intelligence to WORK ON THE MONEY ISSUE!

Just like a house, a business, etc. IF the financials aren’t IN ORDER….nothing else can be achieved

and that means paying out Food Stamp tickets….as well.

HOW on God’s Green Earth could anyone NOT decide to do something different as opposed to more

of the same? Otherwise, we will still be going in the same direction = DOWN!

Perry, Romney, Newt, et al…..more of the same…..
We need Ron Paul more than ever now.
And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,
5 and said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:
6 let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father’s house have sinned.
7 We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.
8 Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations: Lev. 26.33
9 but if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there. Deut. 30.1-5
10 Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.
11 O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day
