Could We Be Living Through a Systemic Breakdown? Here are 3 Telltale Signs
Could We Be Living Through a Systemic Breakdown? Here are 3 Telltale Signs There are several telltale signs surfacing that we are living through a systemic breakdown of virtually every aspect of life as we knew it. However, there are ways to prepare and set yourself up for success as best as possible. Take steps […]
What Kind of a World do We Want? (…really?)
What Kind of a World do We Want? (…really?) Although this question is both enduring and familiar, its present urgency is fully accentuated in a typically brilliant, but viscerally terrifying, exposition by Noam Chomsky on the current frangible condition of the world, and its near-term prognosis. However, I am also reminded of the strapline from the International Permaculture […]
It’s the preppers who are laughing now
It’s the preppers who are laughing now Since the crash of 2008 much has been made of the fact that the world did not end or the sky fall in on us – unless of course you are one of the people who have been touched by bankruptcy, homelessness, addiction or even suicide as a […]
The Illusion of Control: What If Nobody’s in Charge?
The Illusion of Control: What If Nobody’s in Charge? The last shred of power the elites hold is the belief of the masses that the elites are still in control. I understand the natural desire to believe somebody’s in charge: whether it’s the Deep State, the Chinese Communist Party, the Kremlin or Agenda 21 globalists, we’re […]
Bailouts Can’t Save This Fragile System
Bailouts Can’t Save This Fragile System It’s obvious the global economy is painfully fragile. What is less obvious is the bailouts intended to “save” the fragile economy actually increase its fragility, setting up an inevitable collapse of the entire precarious system. Systems that are highly centralized, i.e., dependent on a handful of nodes that are […]
Bankers Going for Broke Because They Know it’s Broke – G. Edward Griffin
Bankers Going for Broke Because They Know it’s Broke – G. Edward Griffin Edward Griffin, author of the wildly popular book about the Federal Reserve “The Creature from Jekyll Island,” is holding a conference this weekend called “Red Pill Expo.” It is all about waking people up from the illusions they are being told. Griffin […]
The Two Paths to Collapse
The Two Paths to Collapse The very structure of our systems guarantees their failure once conditions change beyond their limited ability to adjust. As a general rule, there are two paths to collapse: gradual erosion and sudden crash. The two are intertwined, of course; in most cases, the system slowly loses vigor, resources, efficiency, etc. (erosion) […]
From Economic Crisis to World War III
Andrew Lichtenstein/Corbis via Getty Images From Economic Crisis to World War III The response to the 2008 economic crisis has relied far too much on monetary stimulus, in the form of quantitative easing and near-zero (or even negative) interest rates, and included far too little structural reform. This means that the next crisis could come […]
When Long-Brewing Instability Finally Reaches Crisis
When Long-Brewing Instability Finally Reaches Crisis Keep an eye on the system’s buffers. They look fine until they suddenly collapse. The doom-and-gloomers among us who have been predicting the unraveling of an inherently unstable financial system appear to have been disproved by the reflation of yet another credit-asset bubble. But inherently unstable / imbalanced systems can […]
“Reform” won’t solve our biggest problems
“Reform” won’t solve our biggest problems “You never cure structural defects; you let the system collapse.” As I contemplated this proposition taken from a recent piece by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, I realized what profound implications accepting it would have for all those engaged in attempting to address our current social, political and environmental ills. If […]
What Would Happen If Humans Vanished From the Planet? Video Shows “Lights Out. Nature Takes Over.”
What Would Happen If Humans Vanished From the Planet? Video Shows “Lights Out. Nature Takes Over.” After the crisis, there could be nothing left of human populations. There is no doubt that a disaster big enough to wipe out humanity exists – the threat of an EMP, a plague-level outbreak event, a total nuclear war, […]
The Structure of Collapse: 2016-2019
The Structure of Collapse: 2016-2019 Leaders face a no-win dilemma: any change of course will crash the system, but maintaining the current course will also crash the system. The end-state of unsustainable systems is collapse. Though collapse may appear to be sudden and chaotic, we can discern key structures that guide the processes of collapse. Though […]
How Systems Break: First They Slow Down
How Systems Break: First They Slow Down Alternatively, we can cling to a state of denial, and the dominant system will be replaced by archetypal systems that are not necessarily positive. Understanding our current socio-economy as a system of sub-systems enables us to project how and when unsustainable sub-systems will finally unravel. The reality that […]
Like sheep to slaughter: You still aren’t grasping the systemic risk in the stock market (or else you would have sold everything already)
Like sheep to slaughter: You still aren’t grasping the systemic risk in the stock market (or else you would have sold everything already) (NaturalNews) If you still own stocks and mutual fund shares, you still aren’t grasping the systemic risk in the stock market. No matter what you claim to BELIEVE, it is your ACTIONS […]
Why The Status Quo Is Doomed, Part 1
Why The Status Quo Is Doomed, Part 1 The current world-system is as doomed as the Titanic. We’re like the passengers on the Titanic 10 minutes after the mighty ship struck the iceberg: there is virtually no evidence to those on deck or those snug in their warm cabins that everything they reckoned was safe and secure was […]
