Question sent privately from a pretty new website junkie…

“Why do you keep writing about the economy, the stock market, banks, crypto and all of that junk?”

When I do threat assessments I look at “probability” and “severity” of an event. In extremely simple terms:

1. How probable is an event going to happen and how soon?
2. When/if it does occur, how severe will the impact be, including how widespread will the event effects be?

Right now the economy is the #1 threat our country (the USA) is facing…by far.

Why? The economy has been deteriorating for 120 years and will continue to fall apart until it is no longer a capitalist system but some ugly cousin run by authoritarians. Then you…as well as I…will be nothing more than serfs. There is no stopping it…at least not coming from us as individuals.

The other side of that coin is the economy’s ability to crash literally overnight. We could wake up any given morning and the economy is completely wrecked, crashed, destroyed, done…you get the idea. The economy of the US is nothing but a house of cards…a shell game of massive proportions…one small, unintentional or intentional, wrong move and it comes crashing down around us. And that crash will irrecoverably and irrevocably destroy anyone who is not prepared for it. And as goes the US economy, so goes the world.

And there in lies the third leg of this stool…we, as individuals and families, and to a lesser degree communities, can prepare for this inevitable event. We can take steps to prepare our financial houses to weather the storm…to one degree or another. I have written about how to prepare for this ad nauseam…hence your message to me. If you would like I can write more, but it sounds as if you are already tired of me giving specific information, issuing detailed warnings and outlining steps to take.

Out of all the articles I’ve written on the subject, if you only have time for two, I would suggest reading these two articles in this order:

1. Head’s Up! : The Economy – (July 12, 2021)
2. Heads-Up…the Economy! – (12/10/2021)

If you still have any time left and want the big picture, read this article:

• The Fall of the U.S. Empire

Then again, as a good start towards a clear picture, maybe you could just read all of the following:
