Interesting! 10 Expenses You Need to Cut Now for the Upcoming Economic Depression

Nobody has said it yet, but the Coronavirus has turned into a TEOTWAWKI event. Not the kind of “end of the world we knew” event that we all expected, but still one nevertheless. No matter how many people end up getting sick and how many die, the current changes in the ways we do things are so severe, that many of these are likely to end up becoming a permanent part of our society.

Some of them will not necessarily be for the best. Our government, at all levels, has taken a huge amount of authority upon itself, much of which is of questionable legality. While I don’t think that there are many people who would argue the government’s right to quarantine, shutting down churches and other places of worship as “non-essential” comes directly against our First Amendment rights.

But the real question is whether or not the government is going to be willing to give up all that control that they’ve taken. Historically, governments which gain control over something are not quick to give that control up. What’s to make any of us think that they will do so in this case?

Nevertheless, for the moment, many of us are obeying various government mandates to stay home, with companies telling as many of their employees that can, to do so as well. So, as we all sit in our homes, trying to telecommute with noisy kids in the background and our spouses on the other side of the table, working on their computer, we need to start thinking ahead. There will be an end to all this and we will have to emerge from our caves to see the light of the sun once again.

But what sort of world will we emerge into? Experts are forecasting that anywhere from 20 to 34 percent of our workforce will be laid off during the course of this pandemic. If we come anywhere near the top end of those predictions, it will be huge; much worse than the Great Depression. Unfortunately, from the viewpoint of where we are today, a worldwide economic depression seems to be in all of our futures, starting even before the pandemic burns out.

So how can you and I prepare ourselves for that coming depression? There are actually many things that we can do, but the first of them is to restructure our finances. Specifically, get rid of, or at least cut down on unnecessary expenses, so that we are ready when the depression hits.

Car Payments

10 Expenses You Need to Cut Now for the Upcoming Economic Depression

Many families are paying more for their two car payments, than they are for their mortgage payment. If you think about that for a minute, it really doesn’t make much sense.

But cars and light trucks have gone up incredibly in price, at least partially due to all the bells and whistles they put on a car these days.

In a financial collapse, the people who are hit the hardest are those which are in debt. Those car payments are some of the biggest debt you have. So, it only makes sense to attack it first.

Trading your cars in for something used, but still in good condition, can save you a lot of money from your monthly payments. If you’re fortunate to find a good deal, you might even be able to get rid of one of those payments, really saving yourself some money.

Entertainment Expenses

The home computer has evolved into an entertainment center, or maybe the home entertainment center has evolved into a computer. Either way, many of us are spending a fair amount on cable service, plus an assortment of different movie websites. Netflix is no longer enough, producers have decided to divide and conquer, requiring us all to have multiple subscriptions in order to see all the movies we want to.

The obvious problem with this is that it can get rather expensive. Not only that, but it’s obviously an unnecessary expense. Now, I realize you might not agree with that, especially with your kids home from school. But at least find out how to cancel your subscriptions and have the information handy, so that if you have to, you can pull the plug on them.

Service Expenses

10 Expenses You Need to Cut Now for the Upcoming Economic Depression

From mowing our lawns, through curbside pickup of our groceries, to having a mechanic repair our cars, we all pay others to do things for us. That’s fine, when you can afford it, helping others to have jobs.

But when the economy goes belly up, you’re going to need to save that money.

One of my favorite money saving techniques is that I’m a consummate do-it-yourselfer. I do everything from making gifts for my wife to making my own furniture, with car repairs somewhere in-between. The more you can do for yourself, the less you have to pay others to do. And in the midst of the next depression, you probably won’t be able to afford paying someone else to do it.

Coffee Habits

10 Expenses You Need to Cut Now for the Upcoming Economic Depression

How much do you spend on coffee every month? Do you even know? How about every day? You should be able to figure that out.

That can add up to quite a bit over a month, especially if you’re buying the high-dollar made to order lattes and cappuccinos.

You can get just as good a cup of coffee, including all the assorted flavoring syrups, in your own kitchen. It might take a little experimentation to get it right, but you can probably even get a better cup of coffee than what you’re buying right now. And you can do it without paying seven bucks a cup.

Eating Out

Speaking of coffee, let’s expand on that idea. How much do you spend a month on eating out? If you happen to be the average American family, then that figure is somewhere between $250 and $300 per month. If you eat lunch out or from the cafeteria at work, that figure might be even higher.

There’s nothing wrong with eating out, just as long as it’s not in excess. How much is excess? That depends on how much you make. So for most of us, that figure is likely to be changing, sometime in the next few months. With that being the case, wouldn’t it be a good idea to start working on it now?

Don’t go overboard on take-out, just because you’re part of the lockdown going on. Take this time to experiment with some new recipes, so that you can keep your family happy, without having to eat out all the time.

Vices

10 Expenses You Need to Cut Now for the Upcoming Economic Depression

Speaking of coffee again, there are those people who would call coffee an addiction.

This includes people who are at least emotionally addicted to having their two cups in the morning, before they are human enough to talk to anyone without biting their hand off.

Another word we can use for that is “vice”, a word normally associated with smoking, drinking, gambling, prostitution and drugs.

I’m not trying to accuse you of anything, but if you smoke or drink, this might be a good time to think of quitting. The cost of a few beers a day or a couple of packs of smokes may not seem like much, but it does add up. I’m sure you could find something better to do with the extra $150 to $350 a month than a two-pack-a-day habit can cost.

Unnecessary Monthly Payments

Creditors, especially the big credit card companies, have worked overtime to convince us all that the way to buy anything is on credit. That’s led us to having an average credit card debt of $6,028. While some of those purchases may have been necessities, I’d venture to guess that many are things we could have waited to buy, if we had a little more patience.

Either way, they are a problem or, more likely, they will be a problem when the economy collapses and we’re stuck holding that debt. As with any other debt, it will be one more (or several more) creditors calling and asking us when we’re going to pay our bills. If you’ve secured that debt with some sort of collateral, you might end up losing whatever you’ve put up to cover the debt.

Excessive Shopping

10 Expenses You Need to Cut Now for the Upcoming Economic Depression

This one might cause some battles in your home, but how about cutting out unnecessary shopping? The trick here is to determine what really qualifies as unnecessary.

Women will say that all the “toys” that men buy are unnecessary and men will say that all the clothes their wives buy are. Either way, between the toys and the clothes, it can get really expensive.

Here’s something you can try, if you want to get a real handle on your shopping expenses. Make a deal with each other, that before you can buy something, you have to get the other to agree that it is necessary. If she wants a new pair of shoes, she’s got to convince her husband that she actually needs them. Likewise, if he wants to buy a tool, he’s got to convince her that he can’t do the pending repair or other project without it.

Quit Replacing Things

10 Expenses You Need to Cut Now for the Upcoming Economic Depression

Long ago our society transitioned to being a disposable society. Other than some pretty major things, like cars and houses, we no longer repair anything.

We throw it away and replace it. In many cases, there’s no other option.

But we’ve gone far beyond that now, in that we don’t just replace things that are broken, we replace things that are just fine, for no other reason than because they are “old”.

Of course, our definition of old in many cases is highly subject to questioning, as last year’s cell phone model really isn’t old, just because the company has come out with a new one. Yet many of us will replace that phone, just to have the new one, “complaining” that our old one “Just doesn’t work right anymore”.

Smartphones aren’t the only thing we do this with. We also do it with eyeglasses, frying pans and even dishes. Once people had a mixed batch of dishes, because they kept using the remainder of a set, when some of them got broken. Today, we’ll throw away the rest of the set or donate it to charity, just so we can buy a new one.

There’s nothing wrong with using something that’s “old”, as long as it works. Why not try to see how long you can keep that cell phone or those glasses, rather than seeing how quickly you can replace them?

Avoid Gimmick Products

Our homes are filled with gimmicks and gadgets. Some are obvious, while others manage to slip under the radar. One of those is cleaning supplies. There’s really not much you can’t clean with Clorox in a spray bottle, but many of us have special cleaners for the bathtub, the kitchen, our appliances and even the toilet. Not so surprisingly, most of those “special” products are basically the same thing, in different packaging.

Figure out what you really need and stick with it. Don’t let Madison Avenue convince you that you need their latest product, just because it’s “New” and “Different”. It’s probably neither. All that’s new is the packaging and the advertising campaign.

They Are Preparing For What’s Coming- Will the Liberals or the Conservatives Start a Civil Unrest?

Prepping is a safeguard against a whole range of possible scenarios, and everyone has their own opinions about what’s most likely to happen and what would be the biggest threat. There’s one thing pretty much everyone can agree on, though, and that’s that widespread civil unrest is going to bring on a social collapse, at least in the affected areas and maybe right across the country.

Who’s likely to cause this civil unrest, though? Does anyone have the ability to throw large parts of the USA into chaos? We’ve all seen often enough how local issues can spark unrest in a neighborhood or even a small city, but could the same happen on the scale of a county, a state, the whole Midwest or Atlantic seaboard?

Yes it could, and the most likely way it’s going to happen is that some incident upsets politically active people – not just in the town where it happens, but across the state or the country – so much they decide enough is enough, and try to bring about a radical change. That’s happened hundreds of times throughout history, in all sorts of countries – and while the USA is unique in many ways, it’s not unique enough to be immune from the threat of mass civil unrest.

Experts don’t argue about whether unrest could happen in the USA. It could; that’s a done deal. What they do argue about is where it’s most likely to come from. Any part of the political spectrum can be pushed into rebellion but for that to happen to the majority who’re pretty much in the center, things really have to be bad. More usually, when unrest happens it comes from either the right or left. It doesn’t always come from people who could be labeled as extremists either – often it’s people who’re identifiably to one side of center, but not particularly hard line.

Left or Right: Who Wants to Fight?

Listen to anyone on the left and they’ll tell you that the biggest threat of civil unrest comes from heavily armed groups on the “far right” or “alt right”. On the other hand, speak to anyone on the right and they will say that the real danger is the organized and violent flash mobs of Antifa and other “far-left” groups. Are they both correct, or is one – even both – wrong?

There’s no doubt that left and right both have extremes who’re more than willing to use violence. There aren’t a lot of them on either side though, so it’s unlikely they could directly cause widespread civil unrest. What they might be able to do is cause enough trouble to provoke a backlash from the mainstream on the other side, and that really could become civil unrest.

Thanks to the media it’s right-wing extremists who get the most attention, but in fact their numbers are every small. There are neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups in the USA, but most of them are tiny and too disorganized to cause any serious trouble. There have been lone wolf terrorists on the American far right, with Timothy McVeigh being the most notorious. They’re sometimes capable of committing serious atrocities, but mass civil unrest is beyond them.

Left-wing extremists are more numerous, unfortunately. The largest extreme left group in the USA right now is Antifa – but, with an estimated 15,000 hardcore members, even Antifa isn’t big enough to create civil unrest at a national level. Law enforcement could put down an Antifa uprising inside a couple of days. The far left might not like that, but it’s still a fact.

The mainstream menace?

But what about the mainstream left – the tens of millions of Americans who see themselves as on the left of the spectrum, but reject extremist positions like Marxism? Could they reduce the country to chaos? Yes, they could.

Mainstream leftists don’t have the enthusiasm for violence that groups like Antifa are notorious for, but they do have an endless appetite for getting involved in causes. Any perceived “injustice”, from border control to employment policies, is likely to attract a horde of protesting lefties. Usually nothing much happens beyond legitimate political protest, but sometimes things can get out of control.

If there’s a large protest movement, and its members feel they’re not being taken seriously, tempers can rise. If the people who’re getting angry are well enough organized this is where civil unrest can break out – and the problem is that large parts of the left are very well organized. This end of the political spectrum is closely linked to labor unions and a large, interlocking network of pressure groups; they’re very good at spreading messages, exploiting social media and getting people mobilized.

Many on the left also don’t have a lot of respect for the society we live in. They would like to see it “reformed” into something that fits their ideas better, and this attitude makes it easy for them to justify breaking the law. That’s why left-wing protests are prone to violence and looting; if everything you see around you is a symbol of oppression and inequality, it’s tempting to lash out.

The mainstream right is a bit different. It’s nothing like as well organized, for a start. The vast majority of right-of-center Americans aren’t actually very interested in politics, because they’re focused on work and family. When right-wingers do get annoyed about a political issue they’re less likely to do anything about it, for the same reason – they’re busy getting on with their lives.

On the other hand, if the right do get pushed hard enough that they decide to take action, they’re a lot more capable of creating some serious unrest. A lot of that is down to the simple fact that the right have more guns than the left, and tend to know how to use them. Any large, heavily armed, combat-effective insurgency in the USA would pretty much have to come from the right; the left just don’t have many people with those sort of skills.

Where’s the danger?

Both liberals and conservatives have the potential to create mass civil unrest if they decide they want to. That shouldn’t be a surprise; people are people, whatever they believe, and while some belief systems seem to encourage violence in their followers any of us can be pushed to rebellion by the right factors.

If conservatives rose up that would be more disruptive, and more dangerous to the government. Firstly, conservatives are more heavily armed; secondly they have an inbuilt respect for law and order, so for them to start overthrowing society they have to be very angry.

Realistically, though, the political left is the main threat when it comes to civil unrest. They’re organized, they get upset easily and there are a lot of them. Most unrest in western countries is caused by leftist groups, and the USA Is just as vulnerable as anywhere else. Our citizens might be better armed to protect themselves, but mass action by the left could still tear society apart in a hurry. If that happens, all the systems we rely on in everyday life will soon fall apart across the whole area affected by the disorder – and, unless you’re prepared for that, you’re in for a pretty hard time.

Hollywood in Crisis – A Principality Falls in an Avalanche of Scum, Body Parts, and Anguish

Here’s an excellent overview of what’s going down at the moment with the P. Diddy reveals by Elizabeth Nickson.

We repeat that it is more than likely that these Hollywood take-downs of P. Diddy &Co. happened some time ago, most of the perpetrators already dealt with. Hollywood has been a ghost town, according to certain commentators, for several years now.

Notice the hideous picture of a Mother of Darkness at the beginning of the article.

********

A Principality Falls in an Avalanche of Scum, Body Parts, and Anguish – Hollywood in Crisis

The Grand Wizard’s spell has been broken and not a minute too soon

   ELIZABETH NICKSON

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said:

“As alleged in the Indictment, for years, Sean Combs used the business empire he controlled to sexually abuse and exploit women, as well as to commit other acts of violence and obstruction of justice.  Today, he is charged with racketeering and sex trafficking offenses.  If you have been a victim of Combs’ alleged abuse – or if you know anything about his alleged crimes – we urge you to come forward.  This investigation is far from over.”

Hollywood’s reputed Mother of Darkness
.

Absurdistan has been picking away at the sheer ghastliness of the entertainment business for two years, but this?

The P. Diddy fall is a bonanza. People are literally running for the hills, CEOs and politicians resigning en masse and vanishing from the public stage.

It is instructive and fascinating too, that the trigger, the arrest of the P. Diddy, and the revelations of his crimes, has roiled the black community like nothing I’ve seen before. Rappers, producers and comics have been telling these stories for a decade, but were dismissed. Their lives, the culture of black America, has been polluted by the worship of gangsters, rap and drugs, heavily and relentlessly promoted by Hollywood. Chief among those promoters, Diddy.

Now Katt Williams, Tina Torres, Corey Feldman, Ally Carter, Jaguar Wright and others are shown to be right. And they claim to know much much more about the corruption, the dark abomination among elites like the Obamas, Ashton Kutcher, Justin Bieber, Russell Simmons, Leonardo de Caprio, Princes Harry and Andrew, Tyler Perry, Will and Jada Smith, Kelly Osborne, Martha Stewart, Oprah, Rick Ross, Usher, Cuba Gooding Jr., Lebron James, TD Jakes. Clive Davis is identified as the puppet master.

The abuse lawsuits are mounting, including a class action, and yesterday the Buzbee Law Firm was appointed lead counsel for fifty individuals who were assaulted by Diddy and the sports, film and political stars who went to “freak-offs”. The J Lo marriage collapse was said to be triggered by her involvement – the FBI visited Ben Affleck, and Ashton Kutcher’s participation has led his wife, Mila Kunis, to move out of the family house.

Dozens of other resignations have occurred in the two weeks since. But within the first 24 hours:

Here is the alleged list of participants in the P. Diddy “parties”. Let me draw it plain. They, allegedly, were the abusers of the children and young adults enmeshed in the Diddler’s coils. Because they weren’t just orgies, they were rapes. The current film, Blink Twice, is said to be a description of how innocents were drawn in and then assaulted.

This would just be another round of performative circus distractions running up to the Big Election, but accompanied by the collapse of Hollywood production, fallen by 60% this year, and the shuttering of one division after another in various conglomerates, might be the Hollywood death blow the culture frankly needs. Like broadcast news, then cable news, Hollywood has been losing audience share for years, to the point where productions have picked up and moved to countries like Ireland. But sixty percent? In any other industry that would be terminal.

For a decade or more, they have skated on premium television, but the productions have methodically mutated into stuff that is so vile, so violent, so shorn of beauty or virtue a full half of America has just turned it off.

Here are some testimonies of experienced film makers begging for work. They are heart rending. Were their product not so abusive, one would pity. Instead, there is a certain grim satisfaction derived from listening to the pleas.

The following are the accusations of insiders and, if any of this is true, is much much worse than any of us can imagine:

Oprah is a handler. She keeps people silent and is fully complicit and activist in the Diddy network. Jay Z murdered any young singer that threatened Beyonce’s status, including his mistress and unborn child the day Beyonce’s first pregnancy was announced. Jay Z’s house was raided late last week, and he is said to be more powerful and more evil than Diddy. Diddy was refused bail because it was thought he would try to murder witnesses.

The Diddler (as he is called by his black accusers) drugs children so that they are pliable during the rituals, where according to witnesses, CEOs, sports and film stars, politicians and senior bureaucrats will rape many children, dismember a child or two, and eat them in a frenzied solicitation of Lucifer or Baal or Baphomet.

I am sorry to publish this on a Sunday, but an acknowledgement of the evil that lives among us is a station on the spiritual path. (ER: Agreed!)

The Sinaloa Cartel was still Catholic enough to be disgusted and in a vain attempt to out him, they lodged a suit against Diddy in New York. Underground tunnels are said to link Diddy’s neighborhood with the Playboy Mansion, once the seat of darkness, with the Getty, where some of the rituals are performed.

To continue with the accusations of insiders: this group – the Kardashians, Oprah. Diddy, Jay Z. – etc are so rich because they traffic children across the U.S. The 320,000 that have crossed the border during the Biden/Harris administration are caught in their web. These men and women are members of the Brulee, the black cohort in the Illuminati. The use of children as sacrifice to the dark gods for the purpose of wealth and fame and power has been entrenched in Hollywood’s culture because it is a fast conduit. In fact, unless you are a member, prepare to be marginalized.

Satanism, once a hobby of the dark elites and a few repellent outsiders, is mainstream. And Diddy is a high priest. The “freak-off” tapes are used as blackmail, and are sold on the dark web; the last one, which included Rihanna, for $500,000, according to Jaguar Wright. There appears to be some kind of a glitch that the higher you climb on the ladder of fame, the more humiliating semi-public acts and rituals you must perform. Every advance is accompanied by more appalling blackmail tapes.

#Jaguar Wright

Wright has been blowing the whistle for a long time
.

As far as I can make out, the least repulsive crime this man is accused of is running “freak off” parties that entrapped young stars in compromising positions, so that they are controllable; at the same time, immuring them in a life more seedy than you and I want to imagine. The Kings, the abusers of the young, are powerful sports stars, famous actors and politicians. This week, in an interview between Tucker Carlson and Roseanne, Roseanne states that when she was hospitalized, many of the young people in care had been victims of these freak-off parties, their lives and innocence so destroyed they could no longer function. Here is one example of a young singer who prayed her way out of gang rape by Diddy and Kanye. She is part of a class action against both.

Kanye found Jesus at some point, and started warning people about what had been happening. During his conversion – conversions can be arduous – he collapsed from exhaustion and despair, and Diddy, the Kardashian/Jenners and Lou Taylor, who engineered Britney Spear’s conservatorship, attempted to steal his fortune and have him committed. Britney’s lost fortune is said to have been invested in the Kardashian empire via Taylor, who manages their various enterprises and fortune.

Here is Kanye, saying “I told you”. (ER: Apologies to readers for not being able to insert this 14-second Tiktok clip, but to us, this doesn’t look like Kanye West at all. So where’s the original?)

And of course, Diddy was running a blackmail operation that lured in politicians, CEOs, university presidents and sports stars, and addicted them to dark practices, extreme sexual expression, and black magic. People have been poking around the Kardashians for years now, looking for the criminality. The accusations come to focus around Kris Jenner setting up a church through which she launders their money, and the principal way they make their money is through child trafficking. Kim has been interviewed by the Feds, since the raids, given what was found in videos at P Diddy’s residences.

Evidence shows that Diddy washed money through JD Jake’s church. Rumour has it that Ben Affleck divorced Jennifer Lopez because he was warned by the FBI. The old case of the nightclub shooting has raised its head again, that the gun belonged to Lopez and since her hands were covered by gunshot residue, the shooting could be reopened. (ER: According to pictures we’ve seen, Affleck has been replaced prompting the question, where is he?)

Justin Bieber seems to be the most pitiable character caught up in this. By the accounts of many witnesses (two used to be enough for Time Magazine btw) Bieber was first signed by Usher, who had been raped and ‘owned’ by Diddy, and at some point Bieber was traded off to Diddy and used in the freak-offs as a particular prize to be passed around. After Bieber collapsed, quit the industry, joined Hillsong Church, and met and married Hayley Baldwin, both of whose parents are devout Christians, he began to talk. But it was clear, from his tragic mien, that the kid had been badly used. The release of his song, “I lost my soul at a Diddy party”, is at the top of the charts this week. One line: “I lost my soul and so much more.”

There are thousands of hours of videotape in the hands of the FBI. Enough to collapse one of our world’s principal profit centers and the most malignant propaganda tool the world has even known.

ER: GRAPHIC WARNING – this is the video about Frazzle Drip involving the torture of a 15 year old girl by Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin.

Ally Carter, who has been testifying as a child survivor since 2020, and who went viral in 2021, states she went into Child Protective Services at the age of 13 and was trafficked by Riverside Child Protective Services. This tailors with the evidence from border patrol, that Child Protective Services is the conduit through which migrant children are trafficked.

“These were not freak-offs,“ says Ally Carter. “These were Satanic ritual orgies. And the victims were the children.” This is the final connection. The revolting sexual activity of the stars of Hollywood is just a cover up of the Satanic Ritual Abuse – SRA – of tens of thousands of children. And, as Carter says, those stars knew what was going on, that children were being abused, raped and killed, and did nothing.

This class action announced on Friday afternoon could end with thousands of named victims and every star who attended those parties is liable.

When retribution arrives, it is a mighty force. I pray this is the time. At the end of Blink Twice, directed by insider Zoe Kravitz, the victims end up owning the empire. One could wish for no greater resolution.

ER: Apologies to readers for not being able to upload this 48 section Tiktok video on the lawsuit filed against P.Diddy.

Here is Ally Carter explaining what happened to her as a drugged fifteen year old, a “party favor”, at a Diddy party. Trafficked by CPS. It is graphic.

Genocide is their End Game: Those with any assets worth stealing are then given an ultimatum – hand them over or starve or be sent to the debtors’ prison, which in the US will doubtless mean utilization of the vast sprawling network of FEMA camps.

“In a nutshell, they are to cull a large percentage of the human race and to turn the survivors into a completely controlled army of slaves who own nothing and are dictated to and tracked, traced and monitored 24 / 7 everywhere, even inside their own homes, which of course they will no longer own.”

“It only starts to make sense when you understand that everything that has happened and is happening is due to a meticulously planned and sinister plot being implemented by the narrow clique of gangsters who now control our world.”

The period from 1945 to 2019 was for many a “Golden Age” – a period of relative peace, prosperity, stability, and freedom. This has now ended as the most dangerous and destructive timeline in the history of the World has begun, initiated by malevolent and extremely ruthless Plutonian forces characterized by a complete lack of empathy intent on creating a global totalitarian regime. If this timeline is not derailed soon – and there is little sign that it will be – the result will be death, destruction, and enslavement on a biblical scale for the majority of humanity and we are already seeing this starting. Examples of other such inflection points in history that lead to catastrophe are the shooting of Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo that triggered the onset of the 1st World War and the declaration of war on Germany by Britain in 1939, using the excuse that it had a pact with Poland, but what we are seeing now is an order of magnitude higher and truly global in nature so that nowhere on Earth will escape the dragnet. This time around the trigger is the timed release of a relatively harmless virus that has been heavily hyped by the media non-stop to make the public think it is akin to the Black Death.
With respect to the timing of the release of the virus and attendant media hysteria, this was determined by two factors. One was that the global debt situation had become critical with the world economy on the verge of collapse – they needed a crisis to provide the excuse for another orgy of money creation, so they crashed world markets into March and put the blame on the virus.

The way the heist works couldn’t be simpler. Those in control collapse the world economy and force the majority of its population into massive debt just to survive. Those with any assets worth stealing are then given an ultimatum – hand them over or starve or be sent to the debtors’ prison, which in the US will doubtless mean utilization of the vast sprawling network of FEMA camps
Around this time a large proportion of the world’s population deemed surplus to requirement and an unnecessary burden on the environment and a nuisance will be culled (meaning killed) either by lethal injection or starvation…

We now have almost the entire world population unknowingly engaging in occult rituals that are designed to transport them into a new subservient reality. This is the first time this has ever happened in the history of the world… It is important to understand that this narrow but extremely wealthy and powerful clique at the top of the pyramid already controls everything – Central Banks including and especially the Fed, governments, politicians, and judiciaries, who are nearly all “for sale”, the clergy, the media, etc. 

(left, Clive Maund) 
They don’t entirely control the internet yet …but they are working on it, and soon they will close this window. As for their objectives, in a nutshell, they are to cull a large percentage of the human race and to turn the survivors into a completely controlled army of slaves who own nothing and are dictated to and tracked, traced, and monitored 24 / 7 everywhere, even inside their own homes, which of course they will no longer own.
 Their grandiose plans include clearing the countryside of those who aren’t culled so that it can “return to nature” apart from the private estates of the NWO that will be replete with an army of servants and private security. Survivors occupying the countryside after The Great Cull will be coerced and eventually forcibly removed to heavily surveilled box type high rise living quarters in the cities that they may have to share on a rotating basis with others, which will be made easier by them owning no property, perhaps in the manner of Japanese “love hotels”. 
The NWO is of the view that the world is grossly overpopulated, and they are right, it is, with the massively bloated population placing a crushing burden on planetary ecosystems…the NWO is going to intercede and forcibly reduce their numbers via lethal vaccines with a “kill switch” which is why the virus vaccines will be compulsory or via a deliberately induced wave of mass starvation caused by supply chain disruptions, such as is now imminent, or a combination of the two.



There are three big reasons for all the severe restrictions imposed this year, which are as follows. They are eliminating as much human interaction as they can, in order to destroy social cohesion, isolate people and prevent them from exchanging ideas and thus learning the truth of what this is all about, so reducing the chances of insurrection and possible revolution, and also for good measure to weaken them psychologically and physically. 

This is why they have closed down all places where people meet – bars cafes and pubs, restaurants, gyms, etc. and even art galleries, churches and museums, and are making people afraid of interacting with each other via masks and antisocial distancing, etc. It is particularly important to stop churchgoers’ meetings because those with faith have principles and believe in something bigger than themselves which gives them the courage to act that many others lack.
 A big reason for the lockdowns is to destroy as many small businesses as possible in order to make people dependent, either on large corporations for employment, which they control or on government handouts such as the pending Universal Guaranteed Income (UGI), which you will only receive if you behave yourself and accept all their diktats. The NWO is already talking about people owning nothing by 2030 and being happy and we can already see how they will bring this about. 
As mentioned above they will do it by crashing the economy and forcing people to go heavily into debt just to survive. They then come along and make you an offer you can’t refuse, saying “You have to pay back that debt, but you can’t, so we will eliminate it for you in exchange for all of your property.” 
Through this method, they will be able to acquire most Real Estate owned by people in what will be the biggest heist of all time. Some of you may have already seen the WEF video You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy that starts with a grinning idiot who clearly at least owns, or at least rents, a good tube of toothpaste. 
What we have witnessed this year is absolute insanity on a global scale, all purportedly for an illness that is not much different from the flu and kills less than 1% of its victims, and has virtually no effect on the young. We have seen society destroyed with the forced prevention of human interaction, bars, cafes, and pubs closed and millions forced out of business, concert halls and museums closed and football games played before empty stadiums. 

Children having their development stunted and being psychologically scarred by being shut indoors and isolated from their classmates and friends, people told how many people they can have visited their house, etc. It is sheer lunacy, and yet, up to now, people have gone along with it due to being brainwashed and weak. It only starts to make sense when you understand that everything that has happened and is happening is due to a meticulously planned and sinister plot being implemented by the narrow clique of gangsters who now control our world.
 Their goals have been set out above, which include exterminating 70% or more of the population and herding the rest into high tech urban ghettoes to be farmed as slaves, where their every move and even their thoughts will be monitored and controlled. THE SECRET TO STOPPING THEM IS FOR MILLIONS TO WITHDRAW THEIR SUPPORT AND REFUSE TO GO ALONG WITH THEIR DEMANDS, REGARDLESS OF PERSONAL CONSEQUENCES. That is the only way to derail this apocalyptic timeline that is fast-tracking the majority of the population towards either death or slavery.

The Wealthiest People Preparing For The Financial Crisis- The Only Thing we Can do is Prepare for an Economic Collapse!

The worst thing about a financial collapse is that you cannot predict when it is going to happen, how soon it will happen, or how long it will last for.

All you can do is take the steps needed to prepare for an economic collapse, embrace frugal methods, and start thinking about your bank and wallet as a survival tool, rather than a spending tool.

When the last economic crisis hit, the 2008 financial crisis, the world was shocked at the speed in which it set in. From what started as a meltdown in the US mortgage market, the rest of the world collapsed in a domino effect in rapid succession.

For most of us, that economic collapse was something we just weren’t prepared for, and for those that were not prepared, it was a very tough period.

The question everyone is asking now is ‘when is the next economic collapse?’. It could be this year, the next or in five years. But as many economists argue, we are due for one, and the next one could be much worse than the previous financial downturns.

Since the only thing we can do is ready ourselves for another economic downturn, we take a look at 8 steps you can start taking now to survive an economic collapse.

But first, let’s take a look at some of the basics, to understand why we need to prepare for an economic collapse.

What is an economic collapse?

Simply put, an economic collapse, interchangeably used with the term financial collapse, is a series of very severe economic conditions. Many survivalists and preppers say an economic collapse is the one thing that they are preparing for, as it includes several symptoms that place risk on our necessary needs, such as food, water, power, and safety.

One of the worst factors about a financial collapse is the fact that it doesn’t abide by a timeline. Natural disasters, for instance, while very destructive, are short, with their duration measuring only for days let alone weeks. This allows recovery efforts to commence almost immediately. Economic downturns, however, are unmeasurable in length and for most, will last a minimum of a year, with the aftereffects resonating for several years as a nation recovers.

During an economic collapse, some symptoms affect large companies and industries, with very visible signs, felt in the family home. For instance, common symptoms of collapse are high bankruptcy rates, widespread unemployment, hyperinflation, a spike in death rates (attributable to depression or other financial causes), social collapse, and a high increase in crime.

What causes an economic collapse?

Financial systems can be affected by a large number of different scenarios, and for the most part, a country can bounce back quite quickly with severe financial fluctuations going undetected by the majority of the population. But for the causes, they seem to be factors that can create a ripple effect in a country’s financial industry, resulting in economic loss shockwaves.

If we look back at history, one financial collapse is not like the other. Yes, their symptoms are the same and in the home, loss, grief, and stress are all experienced, but their causes remain unique.

The 2008 Global Financial crisis was triggered by factors such as the burst of the US housing bubble, easy credit conditions, fraudulent lending services, overleveraging, and shadow banking practices. This is different from Venezuela’s economic collapse, which has only been felt in that country and not across the world. In Venezuela, the causes of its economic crisis were caused by presidential policies and a fall in oil prices as well as several other contributing factors. Since its beginning, Venezuela has experienced severe spikes in crime, corruption, poverty, and hunger issues.

There have been some other economic downturns that have completely different causes but have all displayed widespread unemployment, poverty, hunger, and social chaos. They include:

  • 1998 Argentine Great Depression
  • 2001 Turkish Economic Crisis
  • 2008 Icelandic Financial Crisis
  • European Debt Crisis
  • 2014 Russian Financial Crisis

The economic crisis is not just limited to societies, it can also be limited at an individual level. But, an individual can recover much quicker than a society, by making good choices for him or herself. Keep in mind, this his pernicious crisis can likely be prevented or minimizes with some planning. Avoiding certain situations and leaning towards safe investing strategies can make all the difference.

What are the warning signs of an economic collapse?

As we have seen above, a financial downturn can set in very rapidly, and before we know it we have lost our jobs, stores are shutting down, and we’re left high and dry. But there are some warning signs to watch out for. These are early indicators for a potential financial downturn and possible economic collapse.

Of course, your first source is to stay up to date with the news. All good survivalists are avid readers of politics, finance, and weather – the three things that can kick us out of our home or make us go hungry. So inevitably, they are the go-to sections for survivalists, and anyone else that cares about what happens in the world, and indirectly themselves.

According to Lombardi Letter, there are five signs that an economic collapse is about to happen. They are:

  1. Growing government debt: when an economy slows, the government usually steps in to help stimulate spending again, but with high debt, the government might not be able to make that injection.
  2. Stock markets trading at all-time highs: investors are taking more risk on the market, markets continue to trade higher meaning investments are bull-market driven and not research-based which could lead to a stock market bubble.
  3. Unemployment rate: eligible worker, retirement, and student rates all identify trends in people not contributing to the economy and could slow down economic growth
  4. Unstable government: this boils down to the leader and government team in the decisions and actions that may affect the economy in various ways
  5. Rising national debt: this means less consumer spending in the economy and more money spent on paying a debt.

Although those five economic collapse red flags are present in any collapse, there are also other things we can do to be ahead of a financial collapse disaster. And that is to look at what the warning signs displayed by the people involved in it all, America’s elite Wall Street executives and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.

What are the warning signs of an economic collapse?

What are the world’s richest preppers doing?

A good sign of an economic downturn is when you see some of the world’s richest executives preparing for an economic disaster. You know things are about to go wrong if they are taking considerable efforts to protect themselves and their families.

Silicon Valley millionaires and Wall Street investors are buying big houses overlooking lakes in New Zealand and other underpopulated places in the world should they need the security of a hideaway to bug out to, should a severe financial downturn happen.

One of the world’s wealthiest technology entrepreneurs, and Trump advisor, Peter Thiel (co-founder of PayPal),  became a New Zealand citizen in 2011 and has a large family mansion fitted with panic rooms on a homestead property. He plans to live out an economic collapse in that self-sufficient mansion in New Zealand, far away from Silicon Valley, when the early warning signs appear. Facebook Product Manager Antonio Martinez has five acres of isolated land in the Pacific Northwest where he has stockpiled food, water, generators, and solar panels with shelter as a bug out location.

On the Wall Street executive side, a member of an investment firm, quoted in the New Yorker, has a helicopter on standby at all times to take him to his underground bunker where he plans on living out an economic collapse with a self-sufficient garden, power source and food and water supply. Meanwhile, Mayfield Fund managing director Tim Chang has bug-out bags for him, his wife and four-year-old, and several established bug-out locations in regional areas.

How can you prepare for an economic collapse?

Let’s face it, we can’t fight an economic collapse, we can’t run from it either. Even if it were to be isolated to one country, such as in Venezuela, our savings would be very little in any other country, effectively trapping us and turning us into financial crisis refugees. The only thing we can do is prepare for an economic collapse and be a little more frugal when the going gets tough.

So let’s take a look at the 8 steps you can take to prepare for an economic collapse.

1. Learn simple economics so you can identify early warning signs

The list I provided above on economic collapse red flags to look out for is not a complete list, there are an endless amount of warning signs that you will be able to see if you regularly view financial news on the stock market’s performance and the nation’s economy.

Basic understandings of economics will help you in not only noticing an early downturn but will help you identify possible safe havens for your money and economic minefields that you should avoid.

How can you prepare for an economic collapse?

2. Cash is king

When you have cash, it’s buying power that many might lose. When I mention cash, this also refers to money in the bank. Just make sure that whatever investments you have, you can quickly liquidate them should you need to and secure the cash. I would recommend not having investments in anything that takes longer than a week to withdraw. As you have seen in the past, an economic recession can set in in the blink of an eye and some resources may not be valid for liquidating due to early bankruptcy.

If I can give any advice to financial collapse preppers out there, it would be to get your savings in a safe place. Savings and checkings accounts should always carry a certain amount of emergency money as these can be withdrawn quickly. This is much better than having all of your money in a term deposit account that provides restrictions on when you can withdraw your money.

Also try to have a set amount of cash on hand, especially if you are picking up warning signs of a recession. This amount of money will be able to act as an emergency stash until you can withdraw the money in your account and have your assets liquidated.

3. Start building an emergency cash fund

An emergency fund should not be in credit, it should be from the cash you saved in a savings account from your monthly income. You can file this in any savings account with your bank (most allow for a free account to be opened). This fund is essentially a do not touch fund, or as some prefer to call it, a SHTF fund. Make sure you have enough money to at least allow you to buy tickets to another country and support yourself and your family for a month.

This type of fund allows you to leave a country before the US dollar becomes weak and should provide for enough time to get a job in that country until the collapse has resided.

Prepping basics: how to start prepping

4. Start being more frugal with your monthly bills

When you have no money coming in, the worst thing to have is money coming out on expenses that you don’t need. Start minimizing your bills by going through them each month with a highlighter and seeing where most of your money is going. Is there a way to limit that? Perhaps the power is a little higher than it should be and the air-conditioning or heater is being left on?

Practicing sustainable methods such as organic gardening, generating your power, and utilizing your own space is a great way to also lessen monthly expenses and become more self-reliant in case of an economic collapse where regular comforts might not be reachable in the same manner as we are used to. You can invest in solar panels or grow your produce to supplement your food expenditures. This is also a growing trend as a lot of people are pushing towards self-sufficiency and off-the-grid methods.

A few of the people that have already moved to unpopulated areas are running gardens on their properties that can completely sustain their whole family all-year-round. It doesn’t take long to learn urban gardening skills or country homesteading skills and they are both very fun and rewarding tasks.

5. Generate an additional (collapse-proof) form of income

Our writer from Venezuela was an engineer but started making cheese, learned to use a CNC crafting and cutting kit, and became a freelance writer for various websites as a way to find alternative income when his country’s economy collapsed.

Diversifying the income, and distributing the money in the accounts you believe you may need, and even your means to receive money is crucial. In an economy like this, I believe that keeping the 20% of the monthly income in silver would have worked, but Venezuela is not a place where preppers and people concerned about taking the direction of their future are plentiful, so a trading network would have been pretty difficult to set up.

Many try starting an at-home business to ensure they have a bit of extra cash each month aside from their normal job, and as a fallback when times are tough and they have faced job loss. Of course, those skills would have to be essential skills required in a collapse, which could be things such as sewing, gardening, building, repairs, selling your foods, accounting, and other things that households would regularly require.

6. Get out of debt

If you have considerable debt, build a strategy to get out of it as quickly as possible. In the case of a financial collapse, there will be multiple job losses and widespread income loss. The sooner you remove debt the sooner you can remove the worry of having to pay debts when you have no source of income.

As a method to manage any debt you have owing, try the following:

  • Create a spreadsheet budget plan in excel or online using a free budget calculator
  • Use a column for incomings and another for outgoings.
  • Create another column for your debt repayments and list their interest rates as well
  • Identify and rank each debt by their interest rates from high to low
  • As you find you have savings in the bank, pay off the debt with the highest interest rate
  • When that debt is paid off completely,  move onto the next one.

7. Make sure your passport is current

Should the country be at a point where it is about to take a steep dive downwards, it might be time to get out and spend some time abroad. This is a common move for many economic refugees as they wait for their country to regain financial security.

Your passport should have enough remaining time, with at least a few years on it so that you can avoid unnecessary complications with having to renew a passport overseas. Also, research countries that you might choose as a refuge destination and research their visa laws, as well as any possible employment there.

Make sure your passport is current

8. Start prepping

If a financial collapse does occur, you are going to want to start prepping so that, should an economic downturn occur, you have enough food saved up while you either grow your food in the garden to supplement it or find another source of free food. Chances are you will need food more than water as water will still run, but stores may close down and shelves may empty quite quickly.

Part of our guide to start prepping involves identifying a bug-out plan, location, a suitable bug out bag and bug out contents. If a true economic collapse was to occur, there will be a high increase in crime rates, social disorder, looting, and likely clashes with law enforcement and military. It is a safe option to consider leaving busy urban areas as these are most likely the areas that will be prone to violence.

9. Use Websites and Apps Now

In this age of technology, the best way to prepare is to make use of the applications and websites available to you. There are many investing applications to store money. Here is a list of best investing applications to consider.

Fidelity Investments is a well-known investment brokerage. The firm charges a fee or commission for executing buy and sell orders submitted by an investor. These brokerage accounts are operated through licensed firms. Through this, the investors deposit funds and buy investments. Fidelity has almost 200 investor centers around the United States. They assist customers on iMessage, google assistant, and Facebook messenger. The fidelity mobile application is fresher and easier that bring excellent trade executions and exchange-traded fund (ETF) research on the mobile screen.

The Robin Hood application has been very significant in the online brokerage industry since it launched in 2014 as a mobile application. It allows customers to buy and sell stocks without paying any commission. It offers an abundance of research, news, charting, and educational resources. It is successful because it allows individuals to open accounts with very little funds and gives them access to their entire platform.

The Acorns application is a newer kind of investment. It automatically links debit and credit card purchases while investing from them. It has 650 thousand members most of which are millennials. People can easily invest spare change to the next dollar on all purchases. Acorns do not charge a commission but they can charge one dollar per month fee on some accounts.

The Nutmeg application, which was launched in 2011, is a cheaper investment platform. It focuses on ETFs and tracker funds to provide wealth management services. The portfolio invested, as well as the different countries and industry sectors invested in, are reviewed regularly by Nutmeg. Even if the markets fluctuate, the portfolios will have the same exposure to each asset.

The TD Ameritrade mobile application is one of the most powerful platforms on the market. It gives a succinct brief on the market, as well as stock and portfolios. It allows the person to trade in foreign currencies and many other complex options. Large investment selection makes it the number one application. You’ll have access to research and top-notch customer support.

10. Expand your Skills

It is important to learn skills that can serve as an alternative to the individual’s job, should you lose your job. And, in the current climate of job globalization and automation, almost every sort of job is at risk. During the financial crises, there is a huge rate of unemployment. A person should utilize his skills in another industry or field so they can stand out from all the other candidates who will also be searching for jobs.

Over to you…

Many of us have already been affected by past economic downturns. They are reoccurring beasts that can be escaped. The only thing we can do is to ensure we are prepared so that we can survive the many problems that come with an economic collapse.

In this post, we have identified what is an economic collapse, how to tell when a financial collapse is about to happen, and how to prepare for an economic collapse. I hope this information has helped you form a more clear picture of how to start your economic collapse preparations.

Must Watch! FDA Blew Off Scheduled Meetings With COVID Vaccine Injury Victims, Emails Show

Despite public statements by government officials affirming the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines in early 2022, documents obtained by Children’s Health Defense (CHD) reveal that, at that time, public health officials were increasingly concerned about vaccine-related adverse events.

The 300 pages of documents released on Aug. 22 contain private correspondence from 2021 and early 2022 between U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) officials, and emails from vaccine-injured individuals to NIH scientists.

CHD requested the documents via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in 2022. In April 2023, CHD sued the NIH to obtain the records after the agency failed to respond. In an October 2023 settlement, the NIH agreed to produce 7,500 pages of documents at a rate of 300 pages per month.

Last month’s tranche of documents showed that in late 2021 and early 2022, FDA and NIH officials privately expressed concerns about the growing rate of adverse events related to the COVID-19 vaccines — concerns that reached high-level FDA officials.

A Jan. 24, 2022, email (pages 239-240) to Dr. Janet Woodcock, the FDA’s principal deputy commissioner of food and drugs, and Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, alerted them to the existence of “scientific data” regarding adverse events.

The email, titled “Impromptu Meetup” and sent by an individual whose name is redacted, stated:

“We are in [Washington] DC the remainder of today and tomorrow. Some of our epidemiologists happen to be in town as well and would like to have the opportunity to review with you the scientific data they have.

“Also checking in to see what progress has been made with our researchers?”

In a reply later that day, Woodcock said, “We are evaluating the data and analyses that have been done on adverse events after vaccination, particularly neurologic AE’s” (adverse events).

However, she added that the FDA was “not having in person meetings” at that time but stated that “something could be set up for a discussion between the scientists but it would need to be scheduled to ensure the right people attend.” She did not clarify who the “right people” would be.

On the same day, Marks also responded to the email, stating that the FDA has “connected with” NIH researcher Dr. Avindra Nath — who was studying vaccine-related adverse events — and was “also working through contacting other physicians as well.”

Marks added that he “sent a note to our pharmacovigilance group to see if they can free up time today or tomorrow” but said that “setting up a virtual meeting at some point in the near future when there is more time to plan participants and the agenda may make sense.”

There is no indication as to whether this meeting ultimately took place.

The emails followed just months after another NIH scientist, Farinaz Safavi, M.D., Ph.D., of the NIH Division of Neuroimmunology and Neurovirology, appeared to acknowledge the potential dangers of COVID-19 boosters.

In a Sept. 30, 2021, email (page 129), Safavi told a vaccine-injured individual, “We do not have any data to suggest for or against booster shot [sic] but the consensus among our team is not to take if patient develop [sic] significant neurological complications post vaccine.”

The individual emailed Safavi earlier that day asking whether it was advisable to receive the then-new COVID-19 booster, despite saying that “nothing has really changed” regarding their symptoms.“I think my ears are still off, but I have gotten used to it.”

The injured person previously contacted Safavi earlier in 2021 complaining about injuries sustained following vaccination — describing in a March 26, 2021, email (page 136), “severe paresthesias in my face and scalp and tongue and chest band tightness,” and “severe muscle spasms in my scalp and jaw and even my gums and teeth hurt.”

Vaccine injury victims felt ‘very betrayed’

But while some people injured by the vaccines received replies and advice from NIH scientists, the latest documents showed that many others received no such replies. Some sent desperate emails to NIH scientists asking for help or an update.

For instance, in a Jan. 14, 2022, email (pages 234-235) to Nath, a vaccine-injured person praised Nath for his previous work helping the vaccine-injured, but then noted that he and other NIH scientists subsequently abandoned them. The email stated, in part:

“Dr. Safavi left a vaccine injured chat last September, something strange was going on. The active engagement from the spring and summer was replaced with distance and vague responses, then nothing. But then some people get telehealth visits, and vague responses … and others are told ‘there is no research’ and that’s it for them.

“I am sure you would understand now why the hundreds+ who were turned down for any assistance are now extremely upset after waiting for so long … many feel very betrayed. They have been waiting and waiting, all while suffering every single day. … The conversation isn’t happening. They are dying.”

Marks and other FDA officials appear to have met with vaccine-injured individuals a few months prior, according to an Aug. 18, 2021, email sent to Nath (page 283). In that email, the vaccine-injured person wrote:

“Our ‘injured’ MDs and I are meeting with peter marks and paul Richards [sic] at the FDA Monday morning. I have discussed this with Janet Woodcock and Paul for the last few weeks.

“Hopeful they will be willing to help us ‘nobodies’ in our quest to get medical help for people, or any sort of acknowledgement so people are able to begin dialogue with their home physicians.”

Some victims said Marks blew off scheduled meetings with them.

Dr. Danice Hertz, a retired gastroenterologist from California injured by the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 shot she received in December 2020, previously told The Defender that she and a group of vaccine-injured individuals secured a Zoom meeting with Marks in early 2021 — which he then skipped.

Previously released documents from CHD’s lawsuit against the NIH contained emails showing that Marks and Woodcock were aware of reports about COVID-19 vaccine injuries in early 2021, including emails from injured people throughout 2021 and 2022 seeking help regarding their injuries.

Previously released documents also revealed that Dr. Anthony Fauci received such emails during the same period.

Other documents indicate that, as early as January 2022, NIH researchers were aware of at least 850 peer-reviewed case reports and/or research articles about COVID-19 vaccine reactions.

In one email (name and agency redacted), NIH researchers were told the federal government was “saddled” with the “mess” of dealing with those injured by the COVID-19 vaccines, due to the liability shield enjoyed by vaccine manufacturers.

Marks, FDA still publicly claim COVID shots are safe and effective

Marks continues to promote the COVID-19 vaccines as safe and effective and downplay the extent and severity of vaccine-related adverse events.

Last month, he advised the public to get newly updated formulations of the COVID-19 shots, stating the new vaccines “meet the agency’s rigorous, scientific standards for safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing quality.” He said vaccination “continues to be the cornerstone of COVID-19 prevention.”

In a subsequent interview with NPR though, Marks hedged on the question of how effective the new vaccines are.

“The vaccine is not intended to be perfect,” Marks said. “It’s not going to absolutely prevent COVID-19. … But if we can prevent people from getting serious cases that end them up in emergency rooms, hospitals or worse — dead — that’s what we’re trying to do with these vaccines.”

During congressional testimony in February, Marks said, “There was a signal for myocarditis or pericarditis only after the primary vaccination series with the Pfizer mRNA vaccine in those 12 to 17 years of age, and that now that signal is not being seen more recently.”

Marks also claimed that numerous false reports are submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), though other experts have disputed this assertion.

However, Marks also acknowledged that the FDA was overwhelmed with adverse event reports after the COVID-19 vaccines became available, stating that “the avalanche of reports was tremendous.”

People should not be concerned or interested in what anyone thinks about them, be more more interested in what the Universe feels about you.

When you become uninterested in negative energy like gossip and shit talking about someone you become impervious. We need to share love and peace over any negative energy so you remain in the light and the Universe will reward you. What you put out you get back. If you want to change your life you need to set goals and envision you as the best person you can be.

So on that note, we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary the other day with a cruise on Lake of Bays and dinner and golf at Deerhurst Resort. Right after that lovely extravaganza, I decided to do a 3 day fast on nothing but mineral water, lemon water and detox teas. I’m on day 4!!! Can you believe it? It’s actually very easy and I strongly recommend it for a reset, your body, organs and brain will thank you but most importantly you are giving your digestion a rest. I’ve also just learned that the majority of us are dehydrated – most of our cells are not absorbing the water because we lack minerals to help support absorption.

The Future Belongs To The Risk Takers Not The Security Seekers

“The future belongs to the risk takers not the security seekers. Life is perverse in the sense that the more you seek security the less of it you have but the more you seek opportunity the more likely it is you wil achieve the security that you desire. Whenever you feel fear or anxiety and you need to bolster your courage to persist in the face of obstacles and set backs, switch your attention to your goals. Create a clear mental picture of the person you would like to be and the way you would like to perform There is nothing wrong with thoughts of fear as long as you temper them with thoughts of courage and self reliance. Whatever you dwell upon grows so be careful.” Allan Watts

Smokescreen for Controlling the Child Sex Trafficking Narrative

The enemy of humanity has successfully deployed the divide and conquer approach for shielding its pervasive criminal accountability and increasing its power and control. The enemy’s strategic use of the dialectic inventing an exaggerated problem that barely exists, just to cause a horrific reaction that the enemy then pushes a readymade solution in an endless cycle to grab more centralized power and control is another go-to standard our enemy masterfully deploys through yet more camouflaged deception as humanity’s enemy are Luciferian masters of deception.

The prime suspects that operate the global trafficking pedophilia network extends far beyond the most public faces of the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, and royal black nobility families of Europe (i.e., House of Windsor or more aptly House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, House of Orange, House of Bourbon, etc.), the World Economic Forum’s Klaus Schwab, that together effectively own this world through their banking cabal and underworld network operations as profiteering overlords committing the most vile and unthinkable atrocities against children. These controlling bloodlines comprise Illuminati members, the Northern Italian Black Nobility, Khazarian Cabal, Talmudic Freemasonry, Neocon Zionists and Committee of 300.

But this Satanic network is singularly unified by Khazarian mafia families you’ve never heard of, typically ascended from ancient Northwest Semitic Canaan of the 2nd millennium BC, Semitic Phoenicia from the 1st millennium BC and East Semitic Babylon (ancient Mesopotamia in southern Iraq from c. 1894-539 BC) wherein their temples worshiped a pantheon of deities that included occult pagan rituals that regularly practiced child blood sacrifice. The expansive Phoenician maritime trading network during first millennium BC included abduction of slaves throughout the Mediterranean region and beyond. In addition to Babylonian banking, another regional hegemon, the Phoenicians also dominated early banking and commerce, originally developing the pathway to the modern financial usury stranglehold of debtor enslavement, tightly gripping and controlling the world today, rapidly moving towards dystopian one world totalitarian government.

Through the nonstop “problem-reaction-solution” dialectic and mass mind controlling propaganda deception, we’ve collectively been played as duped victims throughout modern history. And apparently once again, cloaked deception appears to once again be rearing its ugly head with the financiers behind America’s #1 box office blockbuster film “Sound of Freedom,” earning over $41.7 million during its opening first week alone in nearly 3,000 theaters across the land.

In interviews this last week, I’ve actively promoted and lauded this film exposing the global child sex trafficking scourge for the first time in any Hollywood production. This unique film drama appears to be delivering much-needed, long overdue public awareness to this tragic plight of sexually victimized children worldwide. I applaud actor Jim Caviezel who plays the lead character based on real-life child rescuer Tim Ballard and his Operation Underground Railroad (OUR) NGO, along with Angel Studios from Mormon county Utah triumphantly overcoming five years of obstacles from the Hollywood establishment vehemently opposing this film’s public release. Why? Because Tinsel Town is the West Coast epicenter for child sex trafficking and adrenochrome industry consumption. A chapter on how pedophiles rule Hollywood is contained in Book 4 of my 5-volume series Pedophilia & Empire: Satan, Sodomy and the Deep State.

When learning that the richest man in Mexico who eclipsed Warren Buffet as the second wealthiest man in the world in 2007 (just behind serial eugenicist criminal Bill Gates), the telecom tycoon and controlling New York Times stakeholder Carlos Slim, who maintains longstanding intimate ties with the Rothschilds, Clintons and their foundations, reportedly financed this film “Sound of Freedom,” initially I was taken aback, thinking perhaps this is just more manufactured dirt weaponized to tarnish and derail this extraordinary film’s success. I thought this sudden negative publicity intent on undermining crucial progress toward increasing worldwide public awareness of this international elephant in the global room, had to be just more Deep State divide and conquer smear tactics designed to counteract the mounting momentum of this powerful film exposing global pedophilia. But as a journalist and in recent years author documenting the elite’s not-so-hidden, glaring pedophilia network around the globe, it became incumbent upon me as a truth seeker to delve further into these very serious, damaging allegations. The disturbing truth sank in once I saw Tim Ballard admit in an interview that Carlos Slim and son were major contributors.

A 15-minute video widely circulating now on the internet distributed on Rumble makes the case that this blockbuster drama “Sound of Freedom” is irreparably tainted by bad blood financing it.

NCMEC, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the nation’s largest and most influential child “protection” organization, quotes around protection because this organization has notoriously been deemed to provide a convenient cover for further child sexual exploitation, child trafficking, and the Deep State cabal’s ever-growing pedo-network, similar to how appointed pedo-club gatekeepers atop America’s Child Protective Services and family courts are also identified as big part of the problem, not solution. As a licensed therapist for decades working with abused children within Los Angeles County’s Department of Children & Family Services, the largest county Child Protective Services in the nation, I learned firsthand how our thoroughly broken CPS system systemically fails to protect or operate in the best interests of children and families.

In recent decades on a national scale, our child welfare, juvenile justice and family court system has been flagrantly hijacked by forces deliberately eroding parental and family rights, wrongly removing children for profit from their parents and systematically placing them in harm’s way. The state is using the foster care system, juvenile justice system and adoptions system clearly for both profit as well as a criminal pipeline to the child sex trafficking network, when so many cases show their nightmarish failure at keeping children safe. My own experience demonstrated that the incidence of child abuse in foster care is far more prevalent than in the care of biological families at large. Moreover, the vast majority of up to 90% of sex trafficking child victims have open cases with Child Protective Services. For example 86 out of 88 rescued children from a trafficking ring in Connecticut were from child services, another study in New York state found 85% were CPS cases. This proves the taxpaid services for protecting youth are failing miserably and though it may partially be attributed to high caseloads and incompetence, it’s more by malevolent design when increasingly pedo-gatekeepers are placed in charge. This growing trend and crisis worldwide need to be addressed as the fascist state is increasingly at war against families, children and parents.

Flashback to July 27th, 1981 when parents John and Revé Walsh’s 6-year old son Adam was discovered missing and believed abducted from a Sears department store in a Hollywood, Florida mall. Based on sworn testimony after Sears deposed Jim Campbell, Adam’s godfather, who was living with the Walshes at the time carrying on an affair with wife Revé, Sears defense attorneys used Campbell’s testimony after the distraught couple attempted to sue the retailer for financial damages for alleged negligence. Campbell maintained that both John and Revé Walsh were regular users of both cocaine and marijuana. In 1983 the couple dropped their lawsuit against Sears to avoid any damaging negative publicity exposing their less than honorable lifestyle with rampant infidelity and active drug habits that would harm their “upstanding” reputation. According to a June 15th, 1996 prisonlegalnews.com article:

Sears attorneys produced evidence that 6-year old Adam had been left in the store by himself by his mother for at least 90 minutes before he was abducted.  

The above information based on Sears documentation directly contradicts the official story given police by Revé Walsh, who maintains she briefly allowed young Adam to watch a few older boys playing the game Atari in the toy department a few aisles away while she shopped for a lamp. But upon the mother returning “approximately 10 minutes” later, Adam was nowhere to be found. According to history.com and the “official story”:

Investigators learned a teenage security guard had asked the older children to leave because they were causing trouble. Adam, reportedly a timid child who might have been afraid to speak up, followed one of the older boys out and didn’t tell the guard his mother was in the store.

Two weeks after Adam went missing, his alleged severed head was reportedly found in a drainage canal more than 130 miles away in Vero Beach while his body was never recovered. Then over two years after Adam Walsh was allegedly abducted, imprisoned serial killer Ottis Toole confessed to Adam’s murder, also implicating his fellow serial killer-lover Henry Lee Lucas, infamously called the “Confessions Killer” for making bogus claims of murdering thousands of victims across America. At the time of Adam’s abduction on July 27th, 1981, Lucas was not in Florida but serving time in jail in another state.

A Texas Ranger task force was formed around Lucas’ confessed crimes to expeditiously close numerous unsolved cases, sloppily taking his false word at face value, and as a result, Lucas was given preferential treatment only reinforcing more of his fake confessions. In 1998, then Texas Gov. George W. Bush, who never revoked the death penalty for anyone ever, uncharacteristically suddenly commuted Lucas’ death sentence to life in prison, likely to avoid further scandal. Similar to Henry Lee Lucas in the early 1980s, Ottis Toole also began lying over bogus murder crimes he didn’t commit, then recanting his earlier Adam Walsh confession. Additionally, Toole led police to where he claimed he’d buried Adam’s body, yet after an exhaustive search of the location, it was never found.

Despite the fact that for many years, “experts remain skeptical about Toole’s involvement” in Adam Walsh’s alleged murder, based on sketchy, extremely questionable evidence from a known chronic, murderous liar, on December 16, 2008 law enforcement declared that Ottis Toole was Adam Walsh’s murderer. Thus, Hollywood, Florida police concluded Toole the killer based on ever-flimsy, scant circumstantial evidence and a short time later in 2009, 28 years after Adam Walsh disappeared, the case was finally closed as yet another likely fabricated, “solved” murder case.

The Walshes ended up having three more children after Adam was reported dead, starting with their first daughter Meghan born in 1982. Two decades later Revé would file for divorce from John in July 2002 and over the next 9 years the couple would battle it out, ultimately reconciling their differences in 2011, mutually choosing to remain married largely out of convenience. After all, they had to present as the perfect couple a few years later to grab their grandchildren in yet more family treachery against their older daughter, forced to defend her own good name as both mother and daughter by publicly exposing two abusive parents she still loves.

Their estranged elder daughter Meghan Walsh turning 41 this year undergoing skin cancer treatment, has been forced to disclose John and Revé Walsh as opportunistic, cruel, venomous parents, if not monsters, after using their dubious fame and power as “upstanding” and “heroic” citizens “fighting” for children to malevolently steal Meghan’s own three kids away from her by making up malicious lies, enforcing a system that wantonly violates Megan’s parental constitutional right to due process. Meghan’s vengeful parents exploited their political clout to fuly weaponize the brutal child “protection” system that they helped create. in Vero Beach against their own gaslit, libeled and abused firstborn daughter, gaining full custody over Meghan’s three stolen kids. John and Revé Walsh are carrying out a globalist agenda to destroy families worldwide, starting with their own daughter’s family. In June 2022, Meghan had just given birth to her third child when her parent vultures swooped in behind CPS and police take away her 5-day old newborn.The damage done to this totally defenseless infant withholding the love and care of her own biological mother is criminal and just as child sex trafficking must be stopped, so must state kidnapping and destruction of American families. This is a global war to destroy our children and families, pushed and polarized by militant transgender dogma masquerading as “diversity.” Again, we are at war against evil forces.

Anti-family court child activist-advocate Francesca Amato in 2021 launched her own federal lawsuit against notorious corrupt upstate New York Judge Anthony McGinty for routinely, wrongfully awarding children to abusive fathers, including Francesca’s son. Last year Francesca Amato interviewed Meghan Walsh who spoke openly of her horrendous ordeal and personal struggle against her famously powerful parents. She also disclosed that she was recently contacted by and met a transgender person claiming to be her long-lost brother Adam Walsh. This added shocking twist is currently unfolding to verify whether it’s true. If so, it further implicates dark forces at work within this conflicted family drama. Was Adam Walsh swept up into a secret MK ultra system used as a victim in a nefarious anti-family agenda to streamline the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children through the Reagan-Bush government?

Right after mentioning the possibility of Adam being alive still, Meghan Walsh then brought up the highly publicized Johnny Gosch story in a possible parallel process to her own brother. Johnny was the 12-year old West Des Moines, Iowa newspaper boy allegedly abducted in September 1982 and likely CIA MK-ultra mind controlled as a child sex slave. Paul Bonacci, a fellow child sex slave victim awarded $1 million in damages for his long-term abuse during the Nebraska Franklin scandal, has insisted that America’s MK ultra head honcho, pedo-scandal prone, pedophile-Satanist- career US Army officer Lt. Col. Michael Aquino was part of a secret government kidnapping mind control program that forced Paul Bonacci to assist in Johnny Gosch’s 1982 abduction. Now missing for nearly 41 years, his mother Noreen stated that her mid-20s son had escaped from his sex trafficking captors and visited her once in 1997, maintaining that he is still alive. She also said two years after her son’s kidnapping, Noreen recognized Johnny in a photo with then pedophile-trafficking overlord, Vice President George HW Bush. Also, further speculation surfaced over pedo Bush’s son President George W. Bush’s homosexual favoritism toward White House reporter Jeff Gannon, conjectured to be the adult version of Johnny Gosch.

In any event, while the official story has John Walsh and his wife heroically channeling all their grief into selfless, passionate child advocacy for young crime victims, first sheparding through the Missing Children’s Act of 1982, two years later they founded the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) signed into existence by President Ronald Reagan. Then exactly a quarter century to the day after the alleged Adam Walsh tragedy, on July 27, 2006, President George W. Bush signed into law the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, creating a comprehensive national database of convicted child sex offenders, strengthening federal penalties for crimes against children and providing funding and training for law enforcement personnel to improve fighting against crimes involving sexually exploited children through the Internet.

Meanwhile, a half dozen years after his son’s apparent abduction and murder, John Walsh became the host of “America’s Most Wanted,” the popular long-running docudrama series aimed at capturing fugitive suspects with 772 episodes aired on Fox Television from 1988 to 2011. Keeping the family business enterprise going, a John Walsh-Fox offshoot called “In Pursuit” has both John and his son Callahan Walsh still chasing down the “bad guys” per a January 2022 Fox News clip. In an August 2000 New York Post interview, asked what he’d be doing if he wasn’t a leading advocate for missing children the prior 19 years, Walsh stated that at the time of his son’s disappearance, he was a hotel executive owning his company involved in a dream project he’d spent over 10 years developing, “building a $26-million hotel on Paradise Island in the Bahamas.”

But with his family tragedy, John Walsh stated that he had to walk away from his highly lucrative, successful career building resort hotels in order to fully dedicate himself to the daunting task at hand, tackling the colossal 800,000 missing children in America each year and estimated annual 8 million missing youth throughout the world through his groundbreaking innovative advocacy work, establishing both the National as well as International Centers for Missing and Exploited Children. For its highly lauded, invaluable contribution, every year the US Office of Juvenile Justice (OJJ) hands over $38.7 million taxpaid dollars to Walsh’s National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, providing our nation’s database clearinghouse tracking missing kids both domestically and his ICMEC internationally.

The only glaring problem is, all this lavishly taxpayer funded, highly upgraded, multitiered, multiple agency nexus to find missing kids, tapping its massively sophisticated technologicies over the last four decades has been an entirely ineffective, complete failure in lowering the rate of missing children and widespread incidence of child sex trafficking. In other words, the system has been an abysmal flop because the pedo-network’s bigger than ever. Rates of abuse and missing youth have proliferated to five times what it used to be. Why? Let’s take a closer look at who’s been in charge. Attorney Ernie Allen has been the longtime head of both NCMEC (1989-2012) and ICMEC (1998-2014) spanning a quarter century, yet his success at combating missing and abused children has been atrocious. But then let’s examine one of his ICMEC board members and the ICMEC founding sponsor, multibillionaire Richard Branson, and Branson’s links to America’s most infamous child sex trafficker-rapist-sexual blackmailer in US history – Jeffrey Epstein.

Ernie Allen spent almost a full week in late July 2007 showing his buddy John Walsh’s UK counterpart, the grieving father Gerry McCann after his 4-year old beauty pageant daughter Madeleine was abducted and likely murdered. The Madeleine McCann mystery was immediately taken over by British intelligence almost to cover up near certainty she was a sexually trafficked abuse victim. Then there was the strange timing of the Podesta brothers John and Tony vacationing at convicted pedophile MP Clement (Sigmund’s grandson) Freud’s manor within a couple minutes of where the McCann’s were staying during their Portugal holiday, and the remarkable resemblance the police sketch of Madeleine’s suspects to the pedo-linked Podesta boys. Then it became public knowledge that Clement Freud became friends with the McCann parents. It’s one big Satanic family of sexual predators, caught up in so many noncoincidental loose threads that crush all odds of pure coincidence.

In addition, both John Podesta and Tony Podesta are friends with the elites’ favorite Satanic priestess, “Spirit Cooking” Marina Abramovic per Podesta WikiLeak emails indelibly tied to the very real Pizzagate scandal which in turn exposes both the Clintons and Obamas’ 60,000 hotdogs flown in from Chicago. The Podesta brothers are also good friends with yet another disgraced pedophile politician, none other than former GOP House Leader Dennis Hastert. Afterall, pedophilia is bipartisan uniparty cause. Again, there are no coincidences. Let’s link yet another pedo-trail to the Podesta Group, which is the brothers’ PR consultant firm that obtained a contract with Amber Ready (not Amber Alert), a cellphone technology that creates a database of children throughout the world stored in cellphones. Also, Podesta relative Brian Podesta with ties to the Clintons served as a senior analyst at NCMEC. These very high profile pedophiles have been placed in charge of advancing the invasive mega databse technologies that render more missing kids susceptible to more child sex trafficking. How very convenient this all becomes for the insatiable appetites of the elite child rapists.

After child trafficker Laura Silsby was apprehended at the Haiti-Dominican border right after the huge 2010 Haiti earthquake with 33 Haitian children in tow, the Clintons quickly intervened on her behalf to reduce her charges and sentence. Silsby’s Clinton arranged attorney was soon arrested for his involvement in human trafficking. Laura then used her married name to attain employment with Amber Alert, the emergency alert service for immediate notification of missing children. A convicted child trafficker lurking behind enemy lines as an employee of a national alert company designated to protect and rescue missing children is nothing less than subversive enemy infiltration. But then when pedos are in charge, what else can you expect?

In 2009 the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) had entered a partnership with the Polaris Project, a nonprofit NGO also funded by taxpaid dollars from Health and Human Services, ostensibly working to combat sex and labor trafficking in North America by creating a vast dataset that captures how human trafficking operates. With the Polaris Project the internal operating machine behind the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and National Human Trafficking Hotline, as a Global Initiative member, Polaris provides the entire apparatus on paper to reduce and prevent child sex trafficking but doesn’t. Its internal documents read like Orwellian doublespeak, not unlike Agenda 2030 sustainability, yet judged by its concrete results, trafficking has skyrocketed while all the perpetrators atop this pyramid scheme remain unreachable, again thanks to their added insulated protection dome impugning the global pedo-network from all criminal accountability.

But with known partners like the Clintons immersed so deeply in child sex trafficking in multiple pedophilia scandals spanning decades, the Epstein-Maxwell entrapment operation and the Pizzagate DC network, again it’s no different from their gal pal Silsby working behind enemy lines to protect the pedo-alert network. Or letting the gatekeeping predators inside what’s supposed to be the safe inner sanctuary designated to protect our most vulnerable population. This same dynamic permeates as a constant theme throughout every single scandal within the global pedophilia network. This is how these criminals remain above the law. The case in point is the Clinton Global Initiative showcasing the Polaris Project blueprint entitled “Building an Anti-Trafficking Approach Replicable Worldwide.” It sounds good and looks good on paper, but it’s all an optical illusion to in fact shield the dark underworld perversion that it secretly protects. It’s eerily similar to King Charles and Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset’s catchphrase to “build back better” its dystopian vision of a Brave New World [Disorder] that for people stripped of ownership of everything except insect meals, it’s living hell on earth.

A half decade after they first got together, the Clinton Global Initiative and Polaris Project were at it again, promoting the Global Modern Slavery database directory connecting abuse victims with supposed worldwide services. As First Lady in 1999, Hillary Clinton launched the first meeting of the International Center for Missing and Exploited Children with UK First Lady Cherie Booth Blair, Tony’s wife. Richard Branson’s mother was the founding ICMEC board of director member until 2005 while Branson was selected ICMEC founding sponsor. Both past and present ICMEC board of director members virtually all come from Big Pharma, the biotech industry and the Big Banks. See how the pedo-gatekeeper roles are invariably filled with pedophiles and their enablers atop the food chain?

Epstein’s infamous “little black book” of course contains the contact number for the Virgin Airlines and Virgin Records proprietor and ICMEC board member Richard Branson, a fellow Necker Virgin Island owner just a few miles away from Epstein’s Orgy Island, with multiple links to Epstein Mega Group financier’s Les Wexner’s Victoria Secret, including entre into the model industry. Using the promise of a modeling career to prey on underage girls is the number one lure predators like Epstein and busted Canadian fellow trafficker-Caribbean Island owner fashion mogul Peter Nygard use to hook many a sex trafficking victims into their seedy orb of influence for criminal sexual exploitation. Branson has faced allegations of sexual assault as a fellow club member of island-hopping pedo-predators. Plus, Richard Branson’s Necker Island hosted a couple of near weeklong retreats for the predatory sex cult NXIVM. Then he lied afterwards, claiming he thought it was for his friends the billionaire Bronfman girls, the one sister Claire still doing prison time for financing NXIVM. So, is it a surprise Branson’s on the board of directors of the one agency in charge of tracking missing and exploited youth internationally? Hardly.

Yet another hi-tech entrepreneur billionaire Peter Thiel as a co-founder and largest shareholder of Palantir Technologies specializing in mega data analytics intelligence listed NCMEC as a major client. According to a May 18th, 2023 New York Times piece, Thiel is also linked to Epstein’s datebook having likely met with the pedophile repeatedly. An August 2016 Vanity Fair article title states “Peter Thiel wants to inject himself with young people’s blood.” The NCMEC, children’s blood and Epstein nexus all tied to this one high roller does not bode well for the safety of children.

Then as long as we’re on notoriously shady pedophiles, in 2016 John Walsh gave, of all people, fellow cokehead Hunter Biden the Hope award for anti-child trafficking on behalf of his deceased brother Beau, despite Hunter being directly implicated as both a pedophile himself like his politician father and their undeniable links to child sex trafficking in Ukraine and elsewhere, like the US. As soon as he stole the last presidential election, Joe Biden immediately tore down Trump’s wall and opened the unprecedented floodgate to drug and human trafficking cartels’ joint US booming criminal industry operation on America’s southern border, with the recently outed US Homeland Security’s gross failure to losing over 85,000 unaccompanied children allowed into the US, becoming victims of the deliberately designed, out of control child trafficking epicenter for missing and exploited children. Where was the NCMEC/ICMEC when you need them the most? Essentially the elephant in the room has always been that we have pedo-gatekeepers turning over trillions in dirty profit from global organized crime and the US government under totally compromised and controlled Imposter-in-Thief Biden following his Satanic masters’ orders has never made it a bigger scourge than right now.

Yet another shady pedo-gatekeeper endorsed by Tim Ballard’s Operation Underground Railroad is actor Ashton Kutcher as founder of THORN, a digital anti-human trafficking software company. Recall the actor holding back crocadile tears at his 2017 congressional hearing, talking about human trafficking, and promoting his THORN software bankrolled by the likes of Palantir and Google to allegedly rescue over 6,000 trafficking victims. Ashton was a pal of the late Senator John McCain, whose wife said everyone knew what Epstein was all about yet were either complicit, looking the other way, or part of the global sex trade currency busily using child slaves themselves. McCain’s Arizona is a notorious child sex trafficking state and with McCain’s alliance with pro-sex trafficking Islamic State terrorists and likeminded gatekeepers Kutcher and ICMEC/NCMEC head honcho Ernie Allen both sitting on the McCain Foundation’s board of directors, they all knew exactly what Epstein’s livelihood and function was for decades, because they’re all in on it together.

All of these handpicked gatekeepers are the parasitic predator foxes guarding and devouring the child henhouse right before our very eyes, all by Satanic design. And though “Sound of Freedom” appears noble for expanding global public awareness over the worldwide blight of this unforgiveable human stain, some of the shady financiers of this film are determined to limit and control the narrative, carefully shielding their criminal accountability at the top of this predatory food chain – the bloodline overlords.

Scores of NGO charities are actually run by nefarious players that in the name of helping and protecting children, are in fact covertly destroying families, breaking them apart, and criminally serving as a direct pipeline to the epidemic of missing children and child sex trafficking as part of the highly organized worldwide pedophilia network. Operating within this insulated underworld of the international criminal cabal are local municipal, county, state, federal, up to the international level, multilayered governmental organizations including the United Nations, US State Department, DHS, US Transportation Department, DOJ, FBI, CIA, virtually all levels of law enforcement, the family court and criminal justice system as well as organized crime are all major operative elements within the world’s biggest organized crime enterprise allowed to flourish more than ever today. In fact, at near 40 million, there are far more slaves than ever before in human history, way more than all the centuries it was legal.

Rather than the oft-quoted $150 billion annually generated from human trafficking, the actual raw numbers of this dirtiest of dirty black operations are well into the trillions. And the largest central banks in the world, controlled by the Rothschild-Rockefeller bloodlines are the primary money launderers enabling and supporting this immense fastest growing industry sexually exploiting trafficked child slaves, that also includes trade in their manufactured adrenalized blood, their harvested organs when they get “used up,” and the enormous profits from the booming online child pornography industry. Clearly, this combined evil racket of unthinkable crimes done to our children surpasses all other forms of organized crime on this planet. If over a half dozen years ago, the estimated transnational organized crime was estimated into the trillions, the profits are far larger now, particularly with the US open border wide open for the third year in a row.

Currently America’s largest bank , the Rothschild affilate JP Morgan Chase that knowingly money laundered millions if not billions for Epstein for a dozen years is still fighting an embattled lawsuit brought before the New York City federal 2nd District Court by the US territory the Virgin Islands, where Jeffrey Epstein’s Little St. James Island was notorious for child rape and ritual blood sacrifice. Just last Saturday July 15th, the Caribbean Island territory is demanding $190 million from JP Morgan Bank. With decades of multiple copies of Epstein-Maxwell videotaped entrapment sex crimes hidden away as evidence catching hundreds of the most powerful elites on earth raping children, not one of their pedophile customers from royalty to presidents and prime ministers to superstar entertainers to the richest global tycoons have ever been indicted or spent one day in jail for their sordid crimes against children still awaiting long overdue justice. This must absolutely end.

This “Sound of Freedom” drama is brought to us by the very pedophile culprits behind this “out of control” epidemic totally within their control. When so much money goes into combating the horrid trafficking industry, but it only grows exponentially larger and larger, then we know it’s deliberately designed that way. The film is good for increasing initial awareness, but awareness must extend all the way to the bloodline controllers responsible as the head of the pedo-serpent snake.

The Great Transformation And The Eight Stages of the Rise and Fall of Civilizations

Cultures and civilizations go through cycles. Over time, many civilizations and cultures have risen and then fallen. We who live in painful times like these do well to recall these truths. Cultures and civilizations come and go; only the Church (though often in need of reform) and true biblical culture remain. An old song says, “Only what you do for Christ will last.” Yes, all else passes; the Church is like an ark in the passing waters of this world and in the floodwaters of times like these.

For those of us who love our country and our culture, the pain is real. By God’s grace, many fair flowers have come from Western culture as it grew over the past millennium. Whatever its imperfections (and there were many), great beauty, civilization, and progress emerged at the crossroads of faith and human giftedness. But now it appears that we are at the end of an era. We are in a tailspin we don’t we seem to be able to pull ourselves out of. Greed, aversion to sacrifice, secularism, divorce, promiscuity, and the destruction of the most basic unit of civilization (the family), do not make for a healthy culture. There seems to be no basis for true reform and the deepening darkness suggests that we are moving into the last stages of a disease. This is painful but not unprecedented.

Sociologists and anthropologists have described the stages of the rise and fall of the world’s great civilizations. Scottish philosopher Alexander Tyler of the University of Edinburg noted eight stages that articulate well what history discloses. I first encountered these in in Ted Flynn’s book The Great Transformation. They provide a great deal of perspective to what we are currently experiencing.

Let’s look at each of the eight stages. The names of the stages are from Tyler’s book and are presented in bold red text. My brief reflections follow in plain text.

  1. From bondage to spiritual growth – Great civilizations are formed in the crucible. The Ancient Jews were in bondage for 400 years in Egypt. The Christian faith and the Church came out of 300 years of persecution. Western Christendom emerged from the chaotic conflicts during the decline of the Roman Empire and the movements of often fierce “barbarian” tribes. American culture was formed by the injustices that grew in colonial times. Sufferings and injustices cause—even force—spiritual growth. Suffering brings wisdom and demands a spiritual discipline that seeks justice and solutions.
  2. From spiritual growth to great courage – Having been steeled in the crucible of suffering, courage and the ability to endure great sacrifice come forth. Anointed leaders emerge and people are summoned to courage and sacrifice (including loss of life) in order to create a better, more just world for succeeding generations. People who have little or nothing, also have little or nothing to lose and are often more willing to live for something more important than themselves and their own pleasure. A battle is begun, a battle requiring courage, discipline, and other virtues.
  3. From courage to liberty – As a result of the courageous fight, the foe is vanquished and liberty and greater justice emerges. At this point a civilization comes forth, rooted in its greatest ideals. Many who led the battle are still alive, and the legacy of those who are not is still fresh. Heroism and the virtues that brought about liberty are still esteemed. The ideals that were struggled for during the years in the crucible are still largely agreed upon.
  4. From liberty to abundance – Liberty ushers in greater prosperity, because a civilization is still functioning with the virtues of sacrifice and hard work. But then comes the first danger: abundance. Things that are in too great an abundance tend to weigh us down and take on a life of their own. At the same time, the struggles that engender wisdom and steel the soul to proper discipline and priorities move to the background. Jesus said that man’s life does not consist in his possessions. But just try to tell that to people in a culture that starts to experience abundance. Such a culture is living on the fumes of earlier sacrifices; its people become less and less willing to make such sacrifices. Ideals diminish in importance and abundance weighs down the souls of the citizens. The sacrifices, discipline, and virtues responsible for the thriving of the civilization are increasingly remote from the collective conscience; the enjoyment of their fruits becomes the focus.
  5. From abundance to complacency – To be complacent means to be self-satisfied and increasingly unaware of serious trends that undermine health and the ability to thrive. Everything looks fine, so it must be fine. Yet foundations, resources, infrastructures, and necessary virtues are all crumbling. As virtues, disciplines, and ideals become ever more remote, those who raise alarms are labeled by the complacent as “killjoys” and considered extreme, harsh, or judgmental.
  6. From complacency to apathy – The word apathy comes from the Greek and refers to a lack of interest in, or passion for, the things that once animated and inspired. Due to the complacency of the previous stage, the growing lack of attention to disturbing trends advances to outright dismissal. Many seldom think or care about the sacrifices of previous generations and lose a sense that they must work for and contribute to the common good. “Civilization” suffers the serious blow of being replaced by personalization and privatization in growing degrees. Working and sacrificing for others becomes more remote. Growing numbers becoming increasingly willing to live on the carcass of previous sacrifices. They park on someone else’s dime, but will not fill the parking meter themselves. Hard work and self-discipline continue to erode.
  7. From apathy to dependence – Increasing numbers of people lack the virtues and zeal necessary to work and contribute. The suffering and the sacrifices that built the culture are now a distant memory. As discipline and work increasingly seem “too hard,” dependence grows. The collective culture now tips in the direction of dependence. Suffering of any sort seems intolerable. But virtue is not seen as the solution. Having lived on the sacrifices of others for years, the civilization now insists that “others” must solve their woes. This ushers in growing demands for governmental, collective solutions. This in turns deepens dependence, as solutions move from personal virtue and local, family-based sacrifices to centralized ones.
  8. From dependence back to bondage – As dependence increases, so does centralized power. Dependent people tend to become increasingly dysfunctional and desperate. Seeking a savior, they look to strong central leadership. But centralized power corrupts, and tends to usher in increasing intrusion by centralized power. Injustice and intrusion multiplies. But those in bondage know of no other solutions. Family and personal virtue (essential ingredients for any civilization) are now effectively replaced by an increasingly dark and despotic centralized control, hungry for more and more power. In this way, the civilization is gradually ended, because people in bondage no longer have the virtues necessary to fight.

Another possibility is that a more powerful nation or group is able to enter, by invasion or replacement, and destroy the final vestiges of a decadent civilization and replace it with their own culture.

Either way, it’s back to crucible, until suffering and conflict bring about enough of the wisdom, virtue, and courage necessary to begin a new civilization that will rise from the ashes.

Thus are the stages of civilizations. Sic transit gloria mundi. The Church has witnessed a lot of this in just the brief two millennia of her time. In addition to civilizations, nations have come and gone quite frequently over the years. Few nations have lasted longer than 200 years. Civilizations are harder to define with exact years, but at the beginning of the New Covenant, Rome was already in decline. In the Church’s future would be other large nations and empires in the West: the “Holy” Roman Empire, various colonial powers, the Spanish, the Portuguese, and the French.  It was once said that “The sun never sets on the British Empire.” Now it does. As the West began a long decline, Napoleon made his move. Later, Hitler strove to build a German empire. Then came the USSR. And prior to all this, in the Old Testament period, there had been the Kingdom of David, to be succeeded by Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome.

The only true ark of safety is the Church, who received her promise of indefectibility from the Lord (Matt 16:18). But the Church, too, is always in need of reform and will have much to suffer. Yet she alone will survive this changing world, because she is the Bride of Christ and also His Body.

These are hard days, but perspective can help. It is hard to deny that we are living at the end of an era. It is painful because something we love is dying. But from death comes forth new life. Only the Lord knows the next stage and long this interregnum will be. Look to Him. Go ahead and vote, but put not your trust in princes (Ps 146:3). God will preserve His people, as He did in the Old Covenant. He will preserve those of us who are now joined to Him in the New Covenant. Find your place in the ark, ever ancient and yet new.

Will the Financial Crisis of 2008 Repeat Itself? (For all of the various reasons that have led us to this lethal juncture, central banks are now doing now the EXACT opposite of what they did in 2008.)

The worst thing about a financial collapse is that you cannot predict when it is going to happen, how soon it will happen, or how long it will last for.

All you can do is take the steps needed to prepare for an economic collapse, embrace frugal methods, and start thinking about your bank and wallet as a survival tool, rather than a spending tool.

When the last economic crisis hit, the 2008 financial crisis, the world was shocked at the speed in which it set in. From what started as a meltdown in the US mortgage market, the rest of the world collapsed in a domino effect in rapid succession.

For most of us, that economic collapse was something we just weren’t prepared for, and for those that were not prepared, it was a very tough period.

The question everyone is asking now is ‘when is the next economic collapse?’. It could be this year, the next or in five years. But as many economists argue, we are due for one, and the next one could be much worse than the previous financial downturns.

Since the only thing we can do is ready ourselves for another economic downturn, we take a look at 10 steps you can start taking now to survive an economic collapse.

But first, let’s take a look at some of the basics, to understand why we need to prepare for an economic collapse.

What is an economic collapse?

Simply put, an economic collapse, interchangeably used with the term financial collapse, is a series of very severe economic conditions. Many survivalists and preppers say an economic collapse is the one thing that they are preparing for, as it includes several symptoms that place risk on our necessary needs, such as food, water, power, and safety.

One of the worst factors about a financial collapse is the fact that it doesn’t abide by a timeline. Natural disasters, for instance, while very destructive, are short, with their duration measuring only for days let alone weeks. This allows recovery efforts to commence almost immediately. Economic downturns, however, are unmeasurable in length and for most, will last a minimum of a year, with the aftereffects resonating for several years as a nation recovers.

During an economic collapse, some symptoms affect large companies and industries, with very visible signs, felt in the family home. For instance, common symptoms of collapse are high bankruptcy rates, widespread unemployment, hyperinflation, a spike in death rates (attributable to depression or other financial causes), social collapse, and a high increase in crime.

What causes an economic collapse?

Financial systems can be affected by a large number of different scenarios, and for the most part, a country can bounce back quite quickly with severe financial fluctuations going undetected by the majority of the population. But for the causes, they seem to be factors that can create a ripple effect in a country’s financial industry, resulting in economic loss shockwaves.

If we look back at history, one financial collapse is not like the other. Yes, their symptoms are the same and in the home, loss, grief, and stress are all experienced, but their causes remain unique.

The 2008 Global Financial crisis was triggered by factors such as the burst of the US housing bubble, easy credit conditions, fraudulent lending services, overleveraging, and shadow banking practices. This is different from Venezuela’s economic collapse, which has only been felt in that country and not across the world. In Venezuela, the causes of its economic crisis were caused by presidential policies and a fall in oil prices as well as several other contributing factors. Since its beginning, Venezuela has experienced severe spikes in crime, corruption, poverty, and hunger issues.

There have been some other economic downturns that have completely different causes but have all displayed widespread unemployment, poverty, hunger, and social chaos. They include:

  • 1998 Argentine Great Depression
  • 2001 Turkish Economic Crisis
  • 2008 Icelandic Financial Crisis
  • European Debt Crisis
  • 2014 Russian Financial Crisis

The economic crisis is not just limited to societies, it can also be limited at an individual level. But, an individual can recover much quicker than a society, by making good choices for him or herself. Keep in mind, this his pernicious crisis can likely be prevented or minimizes with some planning. Avoiding certain situations and leaning towards safe investing strategies can make all the difference.

What causes an economic collapse?

What are the warning signs of an economic collapse?

As we have seen above, a financial downturn can set in very rapidly, and before we know it we have lost our jobs, stores are shutting down, and we’re left high and dry. But there are some warning signs to watch out for. These are early indicators for a potential financial downturn and possible economic collapse.

Of course, your first source is to stay up to date with the news. All good survivalists are avid readers of politics, finance, and weather – the three things that can kick us out of our home or make us go hungry. So inevitably, they are the go-to sections for survivalists, and anyone else that cares about what happens in the world, and indirectly themselves.

According to Lombardi Letter, there are five signs that an economic collapse is about to happen. They are:

  1. Growing government debt: when an economy slows, the government usually steps in to help stimulate spending again, but with high debt, the government might not be able to make that injection.
  2. Stock markets trading at all-time highs: investors are taking more risk on the market, markets continue to trade higher meaning investments are bull-market driven and not research-based which could lead to a stock market bubble.
  3. Unemployment rate: eligible worker, retirement, and student rates all identify trends in people not contributing to the economy and could slow down economic growth
  4. Unstable government: this boils down to the leader and government team in the decisions and actions that may affect the economy in various ways
  5. Rising national debt: this means less consumer spending in the economy and more money spent on paying a debt.

Although those five economic collapse red flags are present in any collapse, there are also other things we can do to be ahead of a financial collapse disaster. And that is to look at what the warning signs displayed by the people involved in it all, America’s elite Wall Street executives and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.

What are the warning signs of an economic collapse?

What are the world’s richest preppers doing?

A good sign of an economic downturn is when you see some of the world’s richest executives preparing for an economic disaster. You know things are about to go wrong if they are taking considerable efforts to protect themselves and their families.

Silicon Valley millionaires and Wall Street investors are buying big houses overlooking lakes in New Zealand and other underpopulated places in the world should they need the security of a hideaway to bug out to, should a severe financial downturn happen.

One of the world’s wealthiest technology entrepreneurs, and Trump advisor, Peter Thiel (co-founder of PayPal),  became a New Zealand citizen in 2011 and has a large family mansion fitted with panic rooms on a homestead property. He plans to live out an economic collapse in that self-sufficient mansion in New Zealand, far away from Silicon Valley, when the early warning signs appear. Facebook Product Manager Antonio Martinez has five acres of isolated land in the Pacific Northwest where he has stockpiled food, water, generators, and solar panels with shelter as a bug out location.

On the Wall Street executive side, a member of an investment firm, quoted in the New Yorker, has a helicopter on standby at all times to take him to his underground bunker where he plans on living out an economic collapse with a self-sufficient garden, power source and food and water supply. Meanwhile, Mayfield Fund managing director Tim Chang has bug-out bags for him, his wife and four-year-old, and several established bug-out locations in regional areas.

How can you prepare for an economic collapse?

Let’s face it, we can’t fight an economic collapse, we can’t run from it either. Even if it were to be isolated to one country, such as in Venezuela, our savings would be very little in any other country, effectively trapping us and turning us into financial crisis refugees. The only thing we can do is prepare for an economic collapse and be a little more frugal when the going gets tough.

So let’s take a look at the 10 steps you can take to prepare for an economic collapse.

1. Learn simple economics so you can identify early warning signs

The list I provided above on economic collapse red flags to look out for is not a complete list, there are an endless amount of warning signs that you will be able to see if you regularly view financial news on the stock market’s performance and the nation’s economy.

Basic understandings of economics will help you in not only noticing an early downturn but will help you identify possible safe havens for your money and economic minefields that you should avoid.

2. Cash is king

When you have cash, it’s buying power that many might lose. When I mention cash, this also refers to money in the bank. Just make sure that whatever investments you have, you can quickly liquidate them should you need to and secure the cash. I would recommend not having investments in anything that takes longer than a week to withdraw. As you have seen in the past, an economic recession can set in in the blink of an eye and some resources may not be valid for liquidating due to early bankruptcy.

If I can give any advice to financial collapse preppers out there, it would be to get your savings in a safe place. Savings and checkings accounts should always carry a certain amount of emergency money as these can be withdrawn quickly. This is much better than having all of your money in a term deposit account that provides restrictions on when you can withdraw your money.

Also try to have a set amount of cash on hand, especially if you are picking up warning signs of a recession. This amount of money will be able to act as an emergency stash until you can withdraw the money in your account and have your assets liquidated.

3. Start building an emergency cash fund

An emergency fund should not be in credit, it should be from the cash you saved in a savings account from your monthly income. You can file this in any savings account with your bank (most allow for a free account to be opened). This fund is essentially a do not touch fund, or as some prefer to call it, a SHTF fund. Make sure you have enough money to at least allow you to buy tickets to another country and support yourself and your family for a month.

This type of fund allows you to leave a country before the US dollar becomes weak and should provide for enough time to get a job in that country until the collapse has resided.

Prepping basics: how to start prepping

4. Start being more frugal with your monthly bills

When you have no money coming in, the worst thing to have is money coming out on expenses that you don’t need. Start minimizing your bills by going through them each month with a highlighter and seeing where most of your money is going. Is there a way to limit that? Perhaps the power is a little higher than it should be and the air-conditioning or heater is being left on?

Practicing sustainable methods such as organic gardening, generating your power, and utilizing your own space is a great way to also lessen monthly expenses and become more self-reliant in case of an economic collapse where regular comforts might not be reachable in the same manner as we are used to. You can invest in solar panels or grow your produce to supplement your food expenditures. This is also a growing trend as a lot of people are pushing towards self-sufficiency and off-the-grid methods.

A few of the people that have already moved to unpopulated areas are running gardens on their properties that can completely sustain their whole family all-year-round. It doesn’t take long to learn urban gardening skills or country homesteading skills and they are both very fun and rewarding tasks.

5. Generate an additional (collapse-proof) form of income

Our writer from Venezuela was an engineer but started making cheese, learned to use a CNC crafting and cutting kit, and became a freelance writer for various websites as a way to find alternative income when his country’s economy collapsed.

Diversifying the income, and distributing the money in the accounts you believe you may need, and even your means to receive money is crucial. In an economy like this, I believe that keeping the 20% of the monthly income in silver would have worked, but Venezuela is not a place where preppers and people concerned about taking the direction of their future are plentiful, so a trading network would have been pretty difficult to set up.

Many try starting an at-home business to ensure they have a bit of extra cash each month aside from their normal job, and as a fallback when times are tough and they have faced job loss. Of course, those skills would have to be essential skills required in a collapse, which could be things such as sewing, gardening, building, repairs, selling your foods, accounting, and other things that households would regularly require.

6. Get out of debt

If you have considerable debt, build a strategy to get out of it as quickly as possible. In the case of a financial collapse, there will be multiple job losses and widespread income loss. The sooner you remove debt the sooner you can remove the worry of having to pay debts when you have no source of income.

As a method to manage any debt you have owing, try the following:

  • Create a spreadsheet budget plan in excel or online using a free budget calculator
  • Use a column for incomings and another for outgoings.
  • Create another column for your debt repayments and list their interest rates as well
  • Identify and rank each debt by their interest rates from high to low
  • As you find you have savings in the bank, pay off the debt with the highest interest rate
  • When that debt is paid off completely,  move onto the next one.

7. Make sure your passport is current

Should the country be at a point where it is about to take a steep dive downwards, it might be time to get out and spend some time abroad. This is a common move for many economic refugees as they wait for their country to regain financial security.

Your passport should have enough remaining time, with at least a few years on it so that you can avoid unnecessary complications with having to renew a passport overseas. Also, research countries that you might choose as a refuge destination and research their visa laws, as well as any possible employment there.

Make sure your passport is current

8. Start prepping

If a financial collapse does occur, you are going to want to start prepping so that, should an economic downturn occur, you have enough food saved up while you either grow your food in the garden to supplement it or find another source of free food. Chances are you will need food more than water as water will still run, but stores may close down and shelves may empty quite quickly.

Part of our guide to start prepping involves identifying a bug-out plan, location, a suitable bug out bag and bug out contents. If a true economic collapse was to occur, there will be a high increase in crime rates, social disorder, looting, and likely clashes with law enforcement and military. It is a safe option to consider leaving busy urban areas as these are most likely the areas that will be prone to violence.

9. Use Websites and Apps Now

In this age of technology, the best way to prepare is to make use of the applications and websites available to you. There are many investing applications to store money. Here is a list of best investing applications to consider.

Fidelity Investments is a well-known investment brokerage. The firm charges a fee or commission for executing buy and sell orders submitted by an investor. These brokerage accounts are operated through licensed firms. Through this, the investors deposit funds and buy investments. Fidelity has almost 200 investor centers around the United States. They assist customers on iMessage, google assistant, and Facebook messenger. The fidelity mobile application is fresher and easier that bring excellent trade executions and exchange-traded fund (ETF) research on the mobile screen.

The Robin Hood application has been very significant in the online brokerage industry since it launched in 2014 as a mobile application. It allows customers to buy and sell stocks without paying any commission. It offers an abundance of research, news, charting, and educational resources. It is successful because it allows individuals to open accounts with very little funds and gives them access to their entire platform.

The Acorns application is a newer kind of investment. It automatically links debit and credit card purchases while investing from them. It has 650 thousand members most of which are millennials. People can easily invest spare change to the next dollar on all purchases. Acorns do not charge a commission but they can charge one dollar per month fee on some accounts.

The Nutmeg application, which was launched in 2011, is a cheaper investment platform. It focuses on ETFs and tracker funds to provide wealth management services. The portfolio invested, as well as the different countries and industry sectors invested in, are reviewed regularly by Nutmeg. Even if the markets fluctuate, the portfolios will have the same exposure to each asset.

The TD Ameritrade mobile application is one of the most powerful platforms on the market. It gives a succinct brief on the market, as well as stock and portfolios. It allows the person to trade in foreign currencies and many other complex options. Large investment selection makes it the number one application. You’ll have access to research and top-notch customer support.

10. Expand your Skills

It is important to learn skills that can serve as an alternative to the individual’s job, should you lose your job. And, in the current climate of job globalization and automation, almost every sort of job is at risk. During the financial crises, there is a huge rate of unemployment. A person should utilize his skills in another industry or field so they can stand out from all the other candidates who will also be searching for jobs.

Over to you…

Many of us have already been affected by past economic downturns. They are reoccurring beasts that can be escaped. The only thing we can do is to ensure we are prepared so that we can survive the many problems that come with an economic collapse.

In this post, we have identified what is an economic collapse, how to tell when a financial collapse is about to happen, and how to prepare for an economic collapse. I hope this information has helped you form a more clear picture of how to start your economic collapse preparations.
