\u201cWatch this!\u201d<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

There are times in my career as a collapse observer and systematizer when my running commentary can quite reasonably be pared down to just two words: \u201cWatch this!\u201d The current severe stage of the financial and economic collapse sequence that was initiated in 2008, which is being artificially masked (no pun intended) by\u00a0the fake Covid \u201cpandemic,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and now a hung and fraudulent US election on top of it is just such an occasion: why not just sit back and watch the world burn? But I happen to be in a particularly good and sprightly mood today, and when I get that way few things can hold me back from holding forth and bloviating prophetically.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with a quick jaunt down memory lane. I first realized that the USA was going to follow the general trajectory of the USSR back in 1995. I also immediately realized that the USSR was rather well prepared for collapse whereas the USA was about to be blindsided by it, and so, as a public service, I thought I should warn people. \u201cAnd a fat lot of good that did!\u201d some of you might immediately exclaim. But you would be wrong: lots of people have written to me to say how much better adjusted they are psychologically now that they have heard and accepted my message, for now they are ready to accept collapse with equanimity and poise. This is sure to make their company less tedious moving forward.<\/p>\n

And so I had my \u201cEureka!\u201d moment in 1995, and a decade later, in 2005, I went public with my observations. I got a surprisingly sympathetic response from some particularly enlightened people (even if they said so themselves).<\/p><\/div>\n
