The Economic Collapse

Once in a while, there is a moment that embodies what is going on in our society as a whole.  For me, one of those moments came on Saturday night.  A 45 foot tall animatronic dragon at Disneyland erupted in flames, but most of the people at the park seemed to think that it was no big deal.  The vast majority of them just went about their business as though nothing unusual was happening.  Incredibly, most of those that were there seemed to think that everything was “normal” even though an absolutely enormous fire was sending “massive flames” into the night sky… (Read More...)

It appears that the crisis facing auto dealerships is far more dire than any of us thought.  Financial institutions are starting to get extremely tight with their money, and that is putting extreme stress on dealers all over the nation.  Many of us expected that this would happen, but it seems that things are moving much faster than anyone would have anticipated.  Earlier today, I came across a tweet that absolutely floored me.  It was posted by a highly respected account known as “CarDealershipGuy”, and it contained some rather ominous news… (Read More...)

Our leaders were able to successfully kick the can down the road for a long time, but now many of our long-term problems are becoming short-term problems, and the economic outlook for the remainder of 2023 is extremely bleak.  But none of the economic hardships that we are experiencing at this moment should shock any of us.  The truth is that we were warned about all of these things well ahead of time.  Many independent voices have been warning us that there would be severe consequences for the exceedingly foolish economic decisions that our leaders were making, and now those severe consequences are starting to play out right in front of our eyes.  The following are 5 economic disasters we were warned about in advance that are happening right now… (Read More...)

This isn’t what a civilized society is supposed to look like.  We aren’t supposed to have vast mobs of very angry young people rioting, looting and generally going nuts all over the country.  But this is what our nation has become.  Our major cities have become cesspools of lawlessness where violence can literally erupt at any moment.  But if Americans are this eager to riot and loot now, what is going to happen once we are in the midst of a severe economic recession?  Needless to say, harsh economic times are certainly not going to improve the mood in this country.

If virtually everyone is expecting a recession, and most people start acting accordingly, do you think that will make an economic downturn less likely or more likely?  Needless to say, the answer to that question is obvious.  Right now, banks all over the country are getting really tight with their money, large corporations are laying off workers at a frightening pace, and consumers are cutting back on their spending.  In other words, it really is starting to look a lot like a recession out there, and economic conditions are only going to get even more harsh in the months ahead.

A new global currency just launched, but 99 percent of the global population has no idea what just happened.  The “Universal Monetary Unit”, also known as “Unicoin”, is an “international central bank digital currency” that has been designed to work in conjunction with all existing national currencies.  This should set off alarm bells for all of us, because the widespread adoption of a new “global currency” would be a giant step forward for the globalist agenda.  The IMF did not create this new currency, but it was unveiled at a major IMF gathering earlier this week… (Read More...)

Once things start getting really crazy in this country, where you live could make all the difference.  As global events have accelerated in recent months, a number of people have been seeking my advice about relocation.  Ultimately, there is no solution that is 100 percent perfect for everybody.  But there are some general principles that I do believe apply broadly, and I will share some of those principles with you in this article.

Everyone can see the slow-motion train wreck that is unfolding right in front of our eyes, but nobody has a plan to stop it.  Unfortunately, from a short-term perspective I don’t know if there is anything that can be done to prevent the commercial real estate bubble from imploding.  Vacancy rates are surging to historic highs all over the nation, and without sufficient rental income many property owners will be forced to default.  In addition, a giant mountain of commercial real estate mortgages will be up for refinancing over the next few years, and substantially higher interest rates will make refinancing those mortgages exceedingly difficult.  We really are facing a “perfect storm” for the commercial real estate industry, and the fallout is going to be absolutely devastating for U.S. banks.
