  1. Sudden "shocking" collapse. I quote the "shocking" because the "shocking" part is only meant for those not in the "know." Check out a book named "Apollyon Rising 2012" by Tom Horn. The "sudden, shocking" part is meant to happen. The "west" and the"east" are being coordinated to "fail" at the same time. The US adds obscene amounts of debt, while the Chinese produce an absurdly big bubble...both to burst at the same time!

    I do NOT think gold and silver will necessarily help you when the collapse comes...well, maybe "colloidal silver" - check that stuff out!

    I have posted this before: We live in a place a lot like the movie "The Matrix" - things aren't what they appear. We do not live where we "think we live." The times are NOT as they are presented to the unwashed masses!

    For some "unraveling" in the physical world....check out http://www.barefootsworld.net - now passed - Bob Hardison explained a lot of what I see present today.

    For the spiritual side - the first source of knowledge: Bible...also check out William Cooper's "Behold a Pale Horse." Watch out for those who laugh at Bill Cooper - check out for yourself how he died!!! Answer this question - where were Bill Cooper's wife and kid when he died? I am NOT saying I agree with everything Cooper wrote...but, boy will some of his writings open your eyes if you take the time to examine which of his writings had truth and which did not!!!

  2. Would modern domesticated chickens be able to survive if you don't have grain to feed them? Just curious. Their wild ancestors were able to get by on worms, grubs and insects alone... but after centuries of domestication I'm not so sure today's chickens could do the same.

  4. Yes, the Roman Empire does still exist. They are called Italy, Turkey, Spain, Greece, Egypt, France, Great Britain, Germany and other names.

  5. We will monetize the debt thru inflation. I don't mean to minimize the dangers of excess spending but we've done it before and we'll do it again.

    Inflation and stagflation is a bitch but will certainly not cause the massive dislocation, rioting and collaspe suggested by many.

  6. I saw an interview with Fed Official Fischer stating the Fed would not monetize the debt and at some point fiscal sanity will be forced upon us with markedly higher interest rates if spending is not controlled. When that happens you will see the dislocation.

  7. If the economy collapses the most desired assets will be intelligence, resourcefulness and initiative. People forget that the most valuable commodity is the one between your ears. Gold, silver, gemstones, food or medicine can all be lost, squandered, or stolen, but a smart, capable person is rare and valuable in all situations.

  8. The book looks fascinating and has excellent reviews on Amazon. i just ordered it:

    http://www.amazon.com/Apollyon-Risi...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1264569312&sr=8-1

    The other website you mentioned also has a lot of interesting reading material.

    Thanks.
