The Economic Collapse

If you want to get a really good indication of where the U.S. economy is heading, just look at what is happening in Las Vegas.  During good times, hotel occupancy rates are very high and lots of money is thrown around in the casinos.  But when times are getting tough, less people head to Las Vegas and those that do go tend to be tighter with their money.  We saw a perfect example of this during the Great Recession.  Once the global financial crisis hit, gambling revenues in Las Vegas plunged.  The following comes from an ABC News article that was published in 2009… (Read More...)

How much flooding is it going to take before people realize that something truly out of the ordinary is going on?  This month, we have been hammered by “1,000 year storms” and “1,000 year floods” over and over again.  In a previous article, I documented 13 catastrophic flooding events in just 13 days.  Unfortunately, that wasn’t the end of it.  In fact, we were just hit by 4 more catastrophic flooding events in just 48 hours.  In the entire history of our country, we have never seen anything like we have witnessed this month.  Every region of the U.S. has been repeatedly hit by major flooding, and there seems to be no end in sight.

The birth rate in the United States just keeps setting one dismal record after another.  In fact, according to the CDC it just dropped to the lowest level ever recorded.  We are literally not even replacing ourselves, and that has all sorts of implications for our future.  For instance, if we don’t produce enough offspring, there simply will not be enough workers to support Social Security and Medicare and those programs will inevitably collapse.  A society with lots of old people and relatively few young people will result in poverty for everyone.  So the truth is that the birth rate crisis is going to ultimately affect all of us.

If you ask 1,000 different Americans about the state of the U.S. economy, you will get 1,000 different opinions.  But what is the truth?  In this article, I am going to share information with you that is indisputable.  I like to examine things from an analytical point of view, and so I always want to know what the cold, hard numbers are telling me.  And what the cold, hard numbers are telling me is very troubling.  The following are 10 economic facts that nobody can deny… (Read More...)

You don’t have to convince insurance companies that 2025 has been “the year of the disaster”, because they have been getting pummeled by record high losses. As you will see below, there have been tens of thousands of wildfires in the U.S. so far this year, and we just keep getting hit by one “1,000 year storm” after another.  Nobody can deny that what we have been experiencing is not even close to normal.  Of course if someone actually did want to try to make the argument that “everything is fine”, that individual would have to explain why insurance companies are facing “record-high global insurance losses” from the first six months of this year… (Read More...)

By the time we got to this stage, I always thought that far more people would be awake.  Perhaps the reason why so many Americans are still sleeping is because the major wars that are currently raging are happening on the other side of the planet.  It is easy to relax when nobody that you know personally is in the line of fire.  But the truth is that if World War III continues to escalate, it is just a matter of time before the whole world will experience a tremendous amount of pain.

All of the other crazy things that have been happening in the world have kind of overshadowed the fact that there has been a lot of very alarming shaking along the Pacific “Ring of Fire” lately.  Dozens of volcanoes have been erupting, hundreds of sizable earthquakes have been occurring, and a lot of people that live in the affected areas are really freaking out.  Is all of this shaking leading up to some sort of a historic disaster?  Only time will tell, but it is being reported that scientists “are concerned about the increasing activity in the Pacific Ring of Fire”… (Read More...)

There has never been a month quite like July 2025.  We are only about halfway through the month, and there has already been more than a dozen catastrophic flooding events around the world.  As you will see below, many of those flooding events have occurred in the United States, and now forecasters are warning us that more flooding is on the way.  Yesterday, I talked about how one prominent meteorologist has declared 2025 to be “the year of the flood”, and he is not exaggerating one bit.
