Ever wonder if the “super-rich” of Wall St. are preparing for a SHTF collapse?

I promise you they most definitely ARE!

I have very close friends who own multi-million dollar companies and I can tell you that they’re also the most concerned people I know when it comes to what lies ahead for our country.

Maybe it’s because they have “more to lose”?  Or maybe they have their ear to the ground and know something you and I don’t?

The answer is “BOTH”, and…

Here’s How One Wall St. Giant Is Prepping For Financial Collapse (Steal Their 3 Survival Tips Now…)-

Jonathon Johnson, the Board Chairman of Overstock.com (a company with over $1.5 billion in annual revenue and 1,500 employees), gave a talk at a precious metals conference about the company’s insights into where the economy is going and what they’re doing about it.

The No B.S. Truth Straight From The Mouths Of Financial Insiders

Here are some highlights from Johnson’s speech and what you can do to follow their lead on preparing for what lies ahead…

“We are not big fans of Wall Street and we don’t trust them. We foresaw the [2008] financial crisis.  We don’t trust the banks still and we foresee that with QE3, and QE4 and QE ‘N’ that at some point there is going to be ANOTHER significant financial crisis.

We expect that when there is a financial crisis there will be a banking holiday. I don’t know if it will be 2 days, or 2 weeks, or 2 months.”

What That Means For You:

A “banking holiday” is a Presidential Order (passed in 1933) used to completely shut down banks – without warning – to avoid everyone panicking, pulling their money out and causing a complete financial apocalypse.

The entire banking world suddenly goes “black” and you won’t be able to view your balance… withdraw or deposit money… write checks… or even access your bank’s web page.

For how long?

Like Overstock Chairman said, it could be “2 days, or 2 weeks, or 2 MONTHS”!

So what can you do?

Immediately after a collapse and a federal “banking blackout”, cash is still going to be king (for a little while).

But if you don’t have it in your wallet, you’re NOT going to be able to go out and get it from your bank or ATM.

That’s why the super-wealthy always keep a stash of cold, hard cashola at home (in a safe) for emergencies.

If you have a fire-proof gun safe, that will work too (NOT a bank safe deposit box!)… and you should consider moving some of your savings into primarily $1 and $5 bills (stores won’t be able to make change as easily) rather than sitting in a no-interest checking account that you may never get access to once the SHTF.

Just stack those duckies up right next to your bricks of 9mm and get used to paying for groceries and other expenses with cash now as good practice.

Should You Consider “Alternative Currency”
During A Financial Collapse Meltdown?

Overstock has a very unique look on “money” when preparing for the “death of the dollar”…

“One thing that we do that is fairly unique: we have about $10 million in gold [and silver], mostly the small button-sized coins, that we keep outside of the banking system….  in denominations small enough that we can use for payroll.

We want to be able to keep our employees paid, safe and our site up and running during a financial crisis.”

What That Means For You:

I was late to the game on gold and silver because I found it hard to believe that anyone following a collapse would ever be out there trading.

Then I learned that the life-expectancy of a paper dollar is only 18 months in circulation – which makes gold and silver better for a long-term crisis.

Besides, if mega-banks and corporations are going to be using gold and silver for currency, that’s going to immediately put these small “buttons” into circulation and I think the education level of the average consumer is going to catch up quickly.

You can be sure that stores will begin accepting them in order to stay in business.

When I was in financial planning, we always recommended people take 10% of their weekly paycheck and put it into savings before paying for anything else.

I think that’s a good way to save and I’d split that 10% in half between cash in your safe and silver (and some gold) in small coins from an online bullion outlet.

But a word of warning here…

Don’t go crazy and start sinking all of your hard-earned dough into currency because there’s something even more important (and more valuable) that Overstock is also planning for.

Thinking Outside The Box For A Financial Collapse…

Here’s the continuation of Overstock Chairman’s speech…

“We also happen to have 3 months of food supply for every employee [+ 1 additional family member] to live on during the crisis.”

First of all, how cool is it that a corporation – who sees the writing on the wall that out dollar is about to come crashing down – is preparing to even FEED their 1,500 employees and their families for at least 3 months?

Crazy, right?  (And pretty damn smart!)

What That Means For You:

Overstock understands that when the economy collapses, food resupply lines will be severed and most people will be out of food within a matter of a few short days – as little as 3.

The very best investment you can make right now is in long-term survival food – which is even more valuable than silver and gold coins in an economic crisis.

Grocery stores that haven’t been completely looted or sold out will skyrocket their prices and be forced to work on a “cash-only” basis.

Must watch- This coming war won’t be fought with tanks and infantry like the first two…

Not only will you be able to feed yourself and your family while others are starving, but it will be the most valuable barter tool you’ll be able to use when no one else around you has a single dollar to their name.

But this isn’t something you should wait and slowly save up for.

Overstock already has their food in long-term storage RIGHT NOW because they know that the “death of the dollar” could come at any time and it’s too late to build up your stockpile once the government initiates an “instant shut-down”.

I highly suggest you plan for at least 3 months of “survival food kits” for your entire family right away.

The cheapest (and best) resource I personally use is right here…

I have a full year for my family, but start with at least 3 months if you can.

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail, right?

Take Overstock’s (and other Wall St. insiders’) warnings to heart and follow their lead.

You don’t want to be one of the masses unable to protect those you love.

Environmental problems have contributed to numerous collapses of civilizations in the past. Now, for the first time, a global collapse appears likely. Overpopulation, overconsumption by the rich and poor choices of technologies are major drivers; dramatic cultural change provides the main hope of averting calamity.

This article was created for educational purposes and also, its continuation can help you better understand a social collapse that can hit us at any time!

Could a worldwide collapse of civilization occur? What could bring about it?

A worldwide collapse of civilization could be triggered by what are called existential risks. Existential risks have been studied extensively by Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom, who created the graphic above of qualitative existential risk categories. Bostrom now runs the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University, which specializes in the study of existential risks.

Bostrom defines existential risks as a risk, “…that threatens the premature extinction of Earth-originating intelligent life or the permanent and drastic destruction of its potential for desirable future development…” A notch down from existential risks are global catastrophic risks. Bostrom has edited a collection of essays on Global Catastrophic Risks with Milan Ćirković. They define global catastrophic risks as, “…a risk that might have the potential to inflict serious damage to human well-being on a global scale…”

While I am sympathetic to the other answer to this question given by John Dewar Gleissner, which emphasizes the robustness of civilization and the unlikelihood of complete collapse not followed by recovery, I think it nevertheless a good idea to be fully aware of the existential risks that could bring an end to civilization, even if they are unlikely.

From the table above, with the x axis being severity and the y axis being scope, we can see, in principle, that any event of sufficient severity and scope can escalate into an existential risk. In practice, by contrast, what kinds of events might escalate into existential risks? Following is a list of existential risks, broken down accordingly whether they are anthropogenic (caused by human activity) or non-anthropogenic, as well as distinguishing between short term (within the coming century) and long term (beyond the coming century) risks:

Near-term Anthropogenic Existential Risks (within the coming century)

• Anthropogenic Climate Change – while anthropogenic climate change may constitute a global catastrophic risk rather than an existential risk for human beings as a species, if the Ross Ice Shelf collapsed into the ocean all the coastal cities in the world would be inundated, posing an existential risk to the world’s largest cities, their ports, and therefore the global trading infrastructure, hence an existential risk to civilization itself.

• Unintended Consequences of Genetic Technology – GMOs (genetically modified organisms) loose in the biosphere, or weapons of biological warfare, could evolve into an unintended pandemic indistinguishable from a naturally-occurring pandemic. Alternatively, artificial forms of life could multiply out of control, covering the planet in a “green scum” scenario.

• Stagnation or Civilizational Failure – if industrial-technological civilization stagnates or culminates in a dysfunctional civilization (e.g., global tyranny), the technological innovations forthcoming from a dynamic civilization would cease, and civilization would cease to offer the opportunity to mitigate existential risks, failing to respond to them.

Long-term Anthropogenic Existential Risks (beyond the coming century)

• Unfriendly AI – also known as the “technological singularity,” in the event of the emergence of “unfriendly” superintelligent AI (artificial intelligence), human beings would have a difficult time defending themselves or justifying their continued existence. Most existential risk researchers are now focused on this as the most important scenario to counter, partly due to recent advances in AI.

• Gray Goo – nano-scale, self-reproducing mechanisms loose in the biosphere could rapidly reproduce like the mechanistic equivalent of a “weedy” species, covering the planet in a “gray goo” of microscopic machines.

• War – future wars waged with the technology of a highly advanced civilization present a clear threat of human extinction; also, weapons of mass destruction proliferate over time, so that it only appears to be a matter of time before terrorist entities or apocalyptic movements come into their possession and use them for ideological ends. –

Near-term Non-Anthropogenic Existential Risks (within the coming century)

• Pandemic – as human population numbers rise, the human population potentially becomes an exploitable resource for any parasitical organism. The longer humanity persists without a major pandemic, the more likely one becomes. (Anthropogenic pandemics are also a possibility.)

• Solar Flares – solar flares occur routinely and pose little danger, but an especially severe solar flare could overload the global electrical grid and potentially destroy every electronic device on earth, meaning a rapid end to industrial-technological civilization.

• Ecosystem collapse – whether under pressure of industrial pollution or due to diseases that attack domesticated plants and animals, the effect of ecological collapse of the food production industry or more generally of the biosphere, if it passes a tipping point, could lead to rapid human extinction. There are several examples in history of species, once plentiful, that experienced a sudden and catastrophic decline rapidly followed by extinction. The most famous example of this is the passenger pigeon.

Long-term Non-Anthropogenic Existential Risks (beyond the coming century)

• Non-anthropogenic Climate Change – in the long history of the earth the climate has varied between global glaciation and steaming swamps; dramatic climate change is a certainty in the long term, and could pose an existential risk to humanity and also to civilization, but climate change of this magnitude usually occurs over geological scales of time, and would not be noticed in the lifetime of a single human being.

• Massive Vulcanism – mass extinctions preserved in the fossil record suggest that periods of the earth’s history have been punctuated by massive vulcanism (e.g., the Deccan Traps or the Siberian Traps). Massive volcanism is also implicated in climate change. Supervolcanoes denude large areas through pyroclastic flows, cover very large areas with ash, and inject enormous amounts of carbon into the atmosphere, especially if they erupt through a coal deposit. These collected impacts could alter the biosphere so significantly that human beings could no longer survive on Earth.

• Planetary Collisions – the earth is vulnerable to collision with asteroids and comets; sufficiently large collisions in the past have resulted in mass extinctions. Large impacts become less common over cosmological scales f time, but we cannot rule out the possibility of another event on the scale of the K-Pg impact (which resulted in the extinction of the dinosaurs).

The above list should not be considered complete or exhaustive. There are other existential risks that could be added to it. That should suffice, for the time being, to answer the question in the affirmative that a worldwide collapse of civilization is possible.

In conclusion, I would like to add: Professor Dave is of the opinion that- While nobody here is making any specific predictions, and I certainly can’t tell you that it’s going to happen on this date, in this year; I can tell you that the possibility is very real, and the reality of the situation is our politicians and leaders continue to put policies in place that ensure some very real future problems.

The second public Scholars’ Warning letter appeared in the Independent Newspaper at the close of COP26 and was written about in a number of articles. It also appeared in French newspapers. Over 200 scholars responded within the 24 hours to sign and help the sense-making of journalists and others as the summit closed. If you agree with the sentiment of this latest letter, please share this video of some of the signatories reading it.

By registering their support for a more radical agenda on our climate predicament, including the need to discuss collapse risk, readiness and response, now journalists can find these scholars and bring these ideas to wider attention. 

First take a look at one of the most shocking videos in the world! This video actually shows us what the secret of the Trump family is related to their expressive health!!! –FULL VIDEO HERE

It is the final backup plan for a lot of us in the case of a disaster. A generous supply of cold hard cash to buy our way out of trouble, pick up as many last-minute supplies as possible or to acquire resources that are unavailable to anyone with a credit card in a world where the electricity is out and the internet is down. We frequently talk about having cash for emergencies, but how much cash should you have if the grid goes down? What will you be able to purchase with your doomsday supply and how long would it last in the first place?

Millions of people will rise up in an angry rage… You just have to watch this video urgently!!!

One of our readers made a recommendation the other day to have between $500 and $1000 in cash for your bug out bag and at the time it prompted me to consider again if this amount makes sense. In my personal preparedness plans I have a supply of cash but I am always trying to figure out if what I have is enough or too much. Will it even matter when TEOTWAWKI comes and how can I best use the cash I have to survive?

Why do you need to have cash on hand?

You want to know the time when you will need cash the most? It will be when you can’t get to it. How many of you right now have no cash at all in your wallets or purses? I used to be the same way. I never had cash and relied on the ready availability of cash machines or most often the ability to pay for virtually everything with a debit card. How convenient is it to never have to make change or worry if you have enough cash when with the swipe of a card your bank account funds are at your disposal. This is a great technological advance, but the problem is that this requires two things to be functioning. First, the card readers and ATM machines require electricity. If the electricity is out, neither of these two machines works. The second thing is a network connection. If the network is down, even with electricity the transaction won’t work and you can’t pay for goods or get cash from your bank.

In a disaster, one of the first casualties is electricity. This doesn’t have to be due to some cosmic solar flare that has rendered the grid useless, it could be as destructive and common as a fire, flood, earthquake, tornado or winter storm. It could also be from simple vandalism or perhaps terrorism. A major fiber optic cable was cut in Arizona back in February leaving businesses without the ability to accept payments. When the electricity is out, you aren’t going to be able to access your cash via the normal means so having a supply on hand is going to be a huge advantage for you in the right circumstances.

Even if there is no natural disaster, you are still at the mercy of your bank. What if your bank closes or there is a bank holiday declared because of some economic crisis. In any of these situations, if you are dependent on access to money that is controlled by either technology or physical limitations like a bank office it is wise to have a backup plan should either of those two conditions prevent you from getting cash.

What is cash good for in a crisis?

I think there are two levels to consider when it comes to keeping cash on hand. There is the bug out scenario mentioned above where you would have some “walking around money” to take care of relatively minor needs like food, a hotel or gas. The second is for a longer or more widespread unavailability of funds. Let’s say the economy tanks and the price of everything skyrockets but stores are still open for business. Your bank is one of the casualties, but you had a few thousand dollars of cash stored away that you could use to purchase food, gas and necessary preparedness items for your family. In this scenario, the government is still backing the fiat currency and vendors are still accepting it as a form of payment. For this scenario having a few thousand dollars makes sense.

But what if we have an extreme event where the currency is devalued and is essentially worthless? Your thousands of dollars might only buy you a loaf of bread. Don’t believe it can happen? It did to the Weimar Republic after WWI so it can happen again. That isn’t to say it will, but you should balance how much money you have squirreled away under your mattress with supplies you can purchase now that will last and keep you alive during that same event. My goal is to make sure I have the basics I need to survive at home for several months to a year without needing to spend any cash. This way, if the money is worthless, I still have what my family needs to survive. Watch- The Home Doctor – Practical Medicine for Every Household.

If we have a regional disaster where you can bug out to a safer location, your cash should serve you well. Of course if you are in a safer location, assuming electricity was working your access to bank funds should still be working. If this is truly the end of the world as we know it, how long will that cash you have be worth anything?

How much cash do you need?

So the million dollar question is how much cash should you have if the grid goes down? I always try to plan for the worst case scenario. My rationale is that if I am prepared for the end of the world as we know it, I should be just as prepared for any lesser disaster or crisis I may be faced with. The way I see it is if we do have a disaster, you aren’t going to be using that cash most likely to pay your mortgage, student loans, rent, or your credit card bills. Cash will go to life saving supplies and this will need to be used in the earliest hours of any crisis before all of the goods are gone or the cash is worthless. Once people realize for example that the government has been temporarily destroyed, they aren’t going to want to take your $500 for a tank of gas. They are going to want guns, food or bullets.

I also don’t see you using your cash to buy passage to another country, but that’s just me. I know there is a historical precedent for that, but I am not planning on that being something I realistically attempt with my family. I am also not planning on bribing any officials with cash either. My cash is for last-minute necessities and then it is back into the hopefully safe confines of my home to plan the next steps. For that I have only a couple of thousand dollars in cash stored away. I figure if I need more than that I didn’t plan well. Also, I would rather spend my money on supplies like long-term storable food and equipment than having a large horde of cash. With that amount, I figure I can make one last run if needed or be able to weather any short-term emergency when I can’t access cash.

What is the best place to hide cash in your home?

I wrote a post awhile back titled, How to hide your money where the bankers won’t find it that had lots of good ideas for reasonably safe places you could store cash. As I said in that article, you do have risks involved with keeping cash in your house, but I think you have just the same, if not worse risks relying on banks to keep your money safe and give it back when you want it. There are a million places to hide cash, but you can get tricky and buy a fake shaving cream safe to store several hundred dollars in there. Just be careful you don’t throw that away. There are other options like wall clocks with a hidden compartment inside that might be less prone to getting tossed in the trash. Your imagination is really all that is needed for a good hiding place, but I would caution you that you don’t store cash in too many places or you could forget where you hid it. This happened to me when I had hidden some cash behind an item that I ended up giving to my daughter because I thought I didn’t need it anymore. Imagine my surprise when she came into the living room and said, “Dad, I found an envelope with a lot of money in it”. I gave her a twenty for a reward…

What about you? How much cash do you think you need to have on hand and what do you plan on spending it on if the grid goes down?

Money plays such an important role in our lives that most of us could not imagine surviving without it. Yet that is exactly what you need to do if you want to prepare for an economic condition called deflation.

Deflation is the term economists use to describe a “general decline in prices, often caused by a reduction in the supply of money or credit.” A good way to think of deflation is as the opposite of inflation. Inflation occurs when there is too much money in circulation, which destroys its value and raises prices. When deflation occurs, there is too little money available, which often causes prices to collapse and the economy to shut down. Here are the eight signs of imminent societal collapse.

In severe cases of deflation there can be no money available at all not — even at the banks. This nightmare actually occurred during the Great Depression of the 1930s, when there were places in the United States where there was no cash available at all. More recently, it has happened in Greece, where ATMs ran out of cash and where banks placed limits on the amount of money that could be withdrawn.

►”Deep State: How to Defeat America’s Greatest Enemy” and see what YOU can do about it!

People had no money to pay bills or buy food for their families. Employers had no money to pay employees, customers had no money to buy goods, and many people were reduced to bartering to survive. During the Great Depression, farmers would pay professionals such as mechanics and doctors with food because they had no money and no credit.

The situation got so bad that in some areas of the country, local governments, chambers of commerce and businesses issued their own currencies — the so-called depression scrip. The scrip often took the form of pieces of paper that people used as money because there was no government currency available. The scrip was used to pay workers or buy goods.

At one point during the Great Depression, the money shortage got so severe that the US government considered issuing a national scrip as an alternative to the dollar. That plan was eventually dropped and the government solved the crisis by simply printing more dollars.

Many people have known survivors of the Great Depression who liked to keep large amounts of cash on hand. Others would hoard food and other items. Those people developed that habit because they remembered what life without money was like. The fear of the deflation that occurred in the 1930s haunted them all of their lives.

The frightening reality is that the threat of deflation is still real. Some knowledgeable individuals, such as wealth preservation experts Will and Bill Bonner, believe that a sudden deflation leading to a national or international money shortage is still possible today.

The Bonners, who have studied some of the world’s knowledgeable investors such as George Soros, believe that the next financial crisis will begin with a “violent monetary shock” similar to the one that occurred during the Great Depression. They predict that money could suddenly disappear overnight, causing the economy to come to a grinding halt.

What Happens When Money Vanishes

Historical accounts of the Great Depression show us some of the possible effects of such a violent monetary shock. The damage caused by such a violent deflation can include:

Warning!!! First Signs That U.S. Consumers Are In Very Serious Trouble

The sudden collapse of prices. The Great Depression began with the collapse of stock market prices in 1929. That was preceded by the collapse of agricultural prices in the United States during the 1920s. During that crisis, land prices in rural areas collapsed, causing large numbers of rural banks to fail. When the banks failed, the government liquidated them and their assets, which included lots of foreclosed farmland, an action that further drove prices and made the crisis worse.

Everything you have — your investments, your home and your possessions — could suddenly lose all of its value. We saw this happen during the mortgage bubble of 2007-2008, when many people found themselves “underwater.” That occurs when the amount a home is mortgaged for exceeds the property’s value.

The collapse in prices during the Great Depression particularly hurt farmers who relied on commodity prices. Newsreels from the early 1930s show farmers dumping grain on the ground and pouring out milk because they could not sell them.

Bank runs and the collapse of financial institutions. A bank run or banking panic occurs when all of a bank’s depositors try to take their money out at once. Bank runs often trigger the collapse of financial institutions, which prompts even more bank runs. Between 1930 and 1933 nearly 10,000 banks failed or were suspended. The panic got so bad that President Franklin D. Roosevelt actually suspended all bank transactions in the US between March 6 and March 10, 1933 to prevent further runs in his so-called “bank holiday.”

FEMA Emergency Alert! Hidden Terrible Situations Exposed- Watch the video below to find out the most shocking details!!!

During the banking crisis of the 1930s, many Americans lost their life savings simply because they were not able to get to the bank fast enough and withdraw their money. Even some wealthy individuals ended up on the streets and in bread lines because they could not get money from the bank.

Massive unemployment. It is a simple and obvious fact that when there is no money, there are no jobs. At the height of the Great Depression in 1933, 24.75 percent of the nation’s labor force, or one in four workers, were unemployed. Around 12.83 million people were out of work at a time when America’s total population was only around 93 million people. That unemployment persisted for years, with 8.1 million Americans still out of work in 1940 in the 11^th year of the Great Depression. The unemployment created by the Depression only ended when World War II created “jobs” in the form of the draft and war production.

Hunger and Starvation. Not surprisingly, hunger and in some cases death from starvation can become a problem after deflation. Historians disagree on the number of people who died during the Great Depression.

Massive expansion of government and its power. In his first 100 days in office in 1933, Roosevelt signed 15 major pieces of legislation, several of which established massive new bureaucracies. During the 1920s there were 553,000 civilian employees of the federal government, but by 1940 the federal government had more than 1 million civilian employees. For the first time in American history, the federal government even tried to set prices for products under the National Recovery Act. The government also told farmers what to grow under the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Those laws were so blatantly unconstitutional that the US Supreme Court struck them down in 1935 and 1936.

Increased taxation. When money disappears government gets desperate and imposes more and taxes in an attempt to squeeze more money out of the economy. During the Depression, the maximum income tax rate was raised from 20 percent to 55 percent, gift taxes were increased from .75 percent to 33.5 percent, and new taxes were levied on automobiles, gasoline, telegrams, telephone calls and even checks. By 1934, the United States had the highest tax rates in the world. In 1935 taxes were raised again. Historian Murray Rothbard estimates that the effective tax rate in the United States increased from 16 percent to 29 percent during the Depression.

Why it Could Be Worse Today

If such an event were to occur in today’s world, it could be far worse than the Great Depression.

People were far more self-sufficient in the 1930s, as large numbers of families lived on farms and grew their own food. Even many Americans who lived in town maintained gardens and chicken coops. In those days people also hunted for meat, canned and preserved their own food and baked their own bread. People also sewed their own clothes and fixed their own cars, which gave them a high level of self-sufficiency.

Today, most Americans rely solely on supermarkets for food, and many families no longer even cook. Few people bother to sew, and most of us do not even change the oil in our cars. If our money were to disappear, we would be as helpless as children.

It’s time that we learn the lessons of the Americans who survived the Great Depression. That lesson was to be as self-sufficient as possible so you can survive, no matter what.

In a prolonged SHTF scenario, even the most prepared people will eventually need some form of currency to purchase the goods or services they need.

You might run out of something; something might break and someone else has the replacement parts you need. Someone in your group might be sick or injured so badly that you need someone else’s skills to help them recover.

During times like this, a sense of community is critical and simply taking what you need by force doesn’t always work. Worse still, it could cost you more in the long run than it’s worth.

In times like this, you need to understand the currency value of things like gold, silver precious metals, and other things you can barter.

Gold

Historically, gold has been a universal standard for currency, valued for its intrinsic worth. It can be a viable currency in a prolonged crisis, especially if there’s hope for recovery. However, not all gold holds the same value.

Gold-plated items and low-karat gold, like 10K to 14K, are often not worth much, especially in a barter situation. High-quality gold, such as 22K or 24K, not only holds significant value but can also be practical for tasks like repairing electronics.

The challenge lies in the average person’s lack of knowledge about the purity of gold, which can complicate negotiations.

Silver

Silver, while not as common in modern jewelry, has a historic precedent as a currency. Silver bars and bullion coins, such as the American Silver Eagle, can retain significant value.

However, the prevalence of low-quality silver and counterfeit coins can make it a less reliable currency.

Silver’s long-term value is contingent on the restoration of normalcy in society, making it less practical in a prolonged crisis compared to other assets.

Bartering

I honestly believe in a prolonged SHTF scenario that bartering will be the best everyday equivalent of currency. Yet this is the sort of thing that requires a deft hand when negotiating. With every transaction you make, you have to consider that there’s also relationship value being built.

If you rake someone over the coals in one barter, they’ll likely want more from you the next time you barter for something you need. In a like-minded community, village, or banded-together neighborhood, you could end up with a bad reputation.

The currency value of specialty items like radios, solar panels and generator parts is going to fluctuate depending on the local need and supply. However, there are some common bartering items that pretty much everyone will need. Thus, making them more like traditional currency.

Antibiotics

Once people realize the danger of infections in a SHTF world, antibiotics will take on a high barter value. However, stability is key, as some antibiotics are only viable for a short time without refrigeration, or you need to source them as a rehydrating powder or pill form to trust their effectiveness.

Consider stocking up on commonly used antibiotics, such as amoxicillin or ciprofloxacin, to meet the needs of your community during challenging times. Since antibiotics are typically not available over the counter.

Non-Perishable Food & MREs

When bartering as a form of currency you can rest assured that everyone in a SHTF situation will see food as being valuable. Canned foods are going to be the new coins in this sort or currency system. A multi-person MRE with something tasty, like dehydrated lasagna or similar comfort foods is going to be the new $20 bill of SHTF currency.

Food is universally essential, and canned goods and single-portion MREs are easy to trade. However, you’ll deplete your supplies and risk others trying to take more once they know you have food.

Chickens and Domestic Animals

The chickens, ducks, dairy goats, and pigs you raise can have currency-like value in a SHTF world. Especially, if you’re breeding them to be able to sell to other people who are struggling with their own food sustainability.

Even cats and dogs will have value in a prolonged SHTF situation. Barn cat kittens will always be in demand in rural areas. The puppies of sporting breed dogs like labs, golden retrievers, and hounds will have enormous value in areas where small game is plentiful.

Ammunition & Firearms

Guns and popular types of ammunition are always going to carry a currency-like value when SHTF. Unprepared people without any firearms of their own will likely trade away a lot for even a basic gun like a 22 or a .410 shotgun.

Even people who are well-stocked, but don’t have the means to make their own rounds or shells will also see ammo as being barter-worthy.

The best currency value ammo is going to be things like 9mm, .223/5.56mm,.22 LR, .45 ACP, and 12-gauge shotgun shells.

Of course, the problem with bartering guns and ammo to other people is that now you’re arming them. Thus, increasing their ability to later take from you, and increasing their temptation to do so.

While ammunition and firearms hold significant value, they also come with risks, particularly the potential for conflict or theft. This is where knowledge becomes invaluable. Understanding how to protect your assets and loved ones in such unpredictable times is crucial.

That’s why I recommend the Special Forces Home Defense Academy . It’s more than just basic security; it’s about mastering advanced techniques to safeguard your home and family, taught by the seasoned Green Beret Terry Schappert.

The academy offers practical advice on everything from setting up discreet traps to reinforcing your property with everyday materials. As you consider your options for staying safe and well-prepared, this comprehensive guide could be the crucial element that ensures your readiness in the most challenging situations.

Fuel

Gasoline and diesel fuel will be treated like currency in the early days of a catastrophe. People will need it to run generators, vehicles, and equipment. Unfortunately, without stabilizer additives, these fuels will start to break down after a few months.

However, once someone has been disgruntled by bartering for degraded fuel, they likely won’t trust fuel for trade again in the future.

Fresh Meat

Fresh meat will become a form of barter currency that will have an impressively high value in a SHTF world. Historically, pioneers traded valuable items for fresh meat.

If you’re a proficient hunter or farmer, you could be sitting on a gold mine, especially if you have some way to maintain proper cold storage.

But what happens if the power goes out and you’re left with a freezer full of food? Learn  how what to do with all the frozen food once the power goes out and how to live without refrigeration.

The other advantage of fresh meat as currency is that you can barter with it, and it’s not taking away from your non-perishable stocks.

Skills & Labor

The concept of “Will Work for Food” or anything else of tangible value will also be a very popular means of exchange when SHTF. There are going to be special events and one-off tasks that people will need done. These are too hard to predict when it comes to their negotiable currency value. Yet some skills and labor jobs will be in high demand.

Various skills, such as wood cutting, ice cutting, blacksmithing, and electronics repair, will be in high demand. Firewood will be essential for cooking and heating, but felling trees can be dangerous.

As refrigeration becomes scarce, ice cutting will be crucial for food preservation, requiring a team effort. Blacksmiths can barter their metalworking skills, crafting items like knives and tools, which will be highly valued.

Electronics repair will also be vital in the early stages of a crisis, helping maintain radios, generators, and solar panels, though the demand may decline as technology degrades over time.

Coming the most severe financial crisis of our times. A financial crisis so severe 99% of all Americans will be financially devastated. They will in fact be far worse off than those who experienced the Great Depression of the 1930’s. And yet, even though some economists are sounding warnings about the impending financial catastrophe no one is even paying the slightest attention to the earthquake of economic doom. Not one presidential candidate or the media has even bothered to alert the public about a disaster of Titanic proportions unfolding right under our feet. Here are the eight signs of imminent societal collapse.

We have to go back to the time when stocks dropped by more than 12% losing over $3 trillion in value. We are being beguiled into thinking that our financial footing is all well and good when in fact the exact opposite happening. What is happening is our whole financial system is now just a house of cards where just one tiny cross breeze of inflation would send that whole house of cards tumbling down and with it wiping our practically everyone’s financial means of support. To put it more bluntly just imagine waking up and going to get gas for your car. Your credit or debit card will not work because the banks have already frozen your account. And, what little cash you have on hand won’t be enough to even buy a loaf of bread. Scary isn’t it? A real imminent full blown financial crisis will soon be at our front door.

To put this in perspective right now corporate debt is over $30 trillion and counting. American consumers are now holding over $733 billion in credit card debt. They hold over $1 trillion in auto loan debt. This while today student loan debt has reached over $1.4 trillion with more than 12% of these loans are in default or overdue by more than 90 days. All this debt is strangling the life blood of our whole economy.

Compounding this problem is the fact that the economy in the United States has remained flat for over four decades. But wait there is good news if you happen to be in the 1%. Your net worth just keep growing by leaps and bounds. While the 1% dine on caviar and champagne the rest of us eat hot dogs and stale beer. Without a growing economy or having the “Williams Theory of Economic Evolution being fulfilled there is no possible way for the United States to ever be able to pay back all this accumulated debt. Simply put The U.S. economy is withering and dying on that vine of lost opportunities. This, despite the biggest stimulus of new cash, think of all those Qualitative Easing programs the Fed pumped out and the exorbitant amount of and credit available. Yet, we have far fewer real living wage jobs being filled or even being offered today than we did just 15 years ago. Thus, the typical household has even far less income. This while the cost of living keeps increasing. Too many are trapped into a cycle of having to rob Peter to pay Paul just to make it through one more day. There are a lot of people out there who know deep down that something’s not right in America. Could it be that with all this debt increasing every day a great credit crash is inevitable?

Warning!!! First Signs That U.S. Consumers Are In Very Serious Trouble

This is only part of the monumental credit and debt crisis facing the United States. The national debt of this nation has reached a level unprecedented in the history of our nation. The government has to keep borrowing just to keep meeting it’s expenditures. But, with endless wars, and more people now than ever being relied of those meager safety nets just adds to the national debt. Yet, we still have our politicians offering band aid fixes to a monumental hemorrhaging society. With all this debt from our national to consumer debt the immediate problem we face is that there’s not enough real money in our financial system. Between $958 billion to $1.5 trillion changes hands in the U.S. every month. People buy milk, pay babysitters. They pay their mortgages and their taxes. Consumer spending alone is $11.2 trillion annually. But here’s the thing there’s only $1.2 trillion worth of actual dollars – physical money in the entire world. We can’t be sure how much of that is actually here in the U.S. Estimates are that some 50 percent to 75 percent of our money is in overseas bank accounts or held by foreign governments, and a lot of what is left in the states is called “dead money.” It’s stuffed in mattresses and safe-deposit boxes. In fact, the amount of U.S. dollars being hoarded this way that is to say the amount of dead money is now at an all-time high. Corporate America is by far the worst offender in hoarding cash. Think back to those QE1 and 2 bailouts by the fed with borrowed money to the financial sector. Instead of dolling out readily available cash to the public all they did was hoard it an let the public use credit to finance their daily expenditures. It was only recently that banks have put caps on all cash withdrawals. And you can see there really is a cash shortage.

FEMA Emergency Alert! Hidden Terrible Situations Exposed- Watch the video below to find out the most shocking details!!!

Since the 1970s, the credit system in America has grown to become our biggest and our most crucial asset. Credit, not real money, is what people spend. Since 1971, the real money has been taken out of the system. Credit is what we have now. And, every credit dollar has a dark side to it, debt. And there’s more debt outstanding now than twice the value of every single home in America put together, more than three times the value of every single U.S. bank’s assets combined, more than 20 times the trillions of dollars the U.S. government collects in taxes every year. To put this in perspective let’s say you have one physical dollar, the one with George Washington. It doesn’t matter what other people think or what’s happening on Wall Street; it’s yours to spend as you like. But, with credit it is another ball game entirely. It can disappear before you spend it, because at some point all that credit can only exist if people believe they’ll get paid back, that is if they believe there’s enough money in America to pay back all that $60 trillion in outstanding credit. The sad fact there isn’t. Our credit system is insolvent. And when it fails, which it surely will do, it could wipe out more wealth than any other crisis in history.

During the financial crisis of 2008 over $10 trillion vanished. This next crisis will wipe out six times that amount. What we are saying is that our whole financial system will collapse. An economic disaster unparallel in the history of the world. Today, our whole society relies on credit. And, when any one link in the chain of production through distribution in economies is broken the whole credit system will implode. Businesses can’t run. Paychecks don’t go out. This credit crash not only destroys the mechanism that runs our economy, it shuts down our access to our own money. Just imagine what happens as lenders try to redeem $60 trillion worth of credit and there’s only $250 billion to go around. You go to your ATM; you ask for cash, but there isn’t any cash left. Suppose you have a $10,000 line of credit on your card. If the credit system doesn’t work, you might as well be flat broke. Dollars become ultra scarce. Prices skyrocket. Banks go under. In fact, it would only take about three hours for our entire country to shut down. The last time our credit system came to the verge of collapse was in 2008. This next crisis watch out.

To stop this impending disaster will take much more than open mouth rhetoric by our politicians. It starts with educating the public to realize that drastic reforms are urgently needed to stave off a disaster that would wipe out our whole financial and economic system. The implications of not addressing this urgent crisis will have global ramifications that will lead to a world war. A war which in all likelihood would send humanity back into the caves of the Neanderthal. The need is apparent and urgent action is required. And it starts with implementation of National Economic Reform’s Ten Articles of Confederation.

EXPOSED: The Ruling Elites Evil “Control Code” – What Are They Hiding From Us? …

The question is not, “Is there going to be a World War III?” It is in your Bible. There is not a one tenth of one percent chance that it is not going to happen. Another world war is coming, and it will be the biggest world war ever. According to the Bible, one out of three people on the earth will die in this war of all wars! The prophecy is found in Revelation chapter nine, verse 15: “And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.”

The “third part of men” would be over two billion people! Other translations read “one-third of the human race”, “one-third of all the people on earth”, “one-third of humanity”. They all say the same thing. A war is just ahead that will wipe out over two billion human beings!

The War of All Wars

Prior to the 20th Century, there had never been a war with one million fatalities. Then came World War I in 1914, with 8.2 million dead. They called it “The Great War.” With the founding of the League of Nations, we had hoped that this type of carnage would never happen again. Twenty years later, 52 million people died in World War II. As if something had come unhinged in the human soul, we cried out, “How can we ever stop this?” With the founding of the United Nations we had hoped that the solution to world peace was at hand. I have the dreadful assignment of telling you, it is not fixed. There is another war coming. There will neither be 8 million dead nor 52 million dead. This war that is coming will kill 2.2 billion, forty times World War II. It will be the worst war ever.

I can’t tell you exactly when this is going to happen, but the Bible tells us where World War III will originate. The “Sixth Trumpet” prophecy is found in Revelation 9:14-15:

Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

These angels were bound in the Euphrates River, which flows through Turkey, Syria, and Iraq, and empties into the Persian Gulf. War has been raging up and down the Euphrates River since 2003 when the U.S. invaded Iraq. When they are loosed, these evil angels will carry out their assignment to kill one-third of mankind.

Out of the chaos and destruction, a strong leader will rise to promise peace and security. The Antichrist will step onto the world scene at just the right moment. He will provide firm direction but he will also demand absolute obedience.

Four Major Prophecies

There are four prophetic developments occurring right now that demonstrate how close we are to the Euphrates River War, otherwise known as World War III.

Peace Plan for the Middle East

In Genesis 15:18, God entered into a covenant with Abraham, affirming that the Promised Land would be given to his descendants. The Antichrist, according to Daniel 9: 27 will confirm this covenant with many for seven years. A peace agreement which confirms the covenant will establish Israel’s right to exist in the Holy Land and will mark the beginning of the final seven years to Armageddon. U. S. Secretary of State John Kerry has set the goal of April 29, 2014 to reach just such a peace agreement between Palestinians and Israelis. “A viable two-state solution is the only way this conflict can end,” he said, “and there is not much time to achieve it, and there is no other alternative.”

Halfway through the final seven years, the Antichrist will order the stopping of animal sacrifices on the Temple Mount, which will have been resumed by then. He will then stand in the temple claiming to be God.

Construction of Israel’s Third Temple

II Thessalonians 2:3-4 and Revelation 11:1-2 describe a temple standing on the Temple Mount three and one-half years before Armageddon. Israel has been subsidizing nonprofit organizations that advocate the building of the Third Temple atop Jerusalem’s holiest site. The Temple Institute is dedicated to the vision of the Temple’s rebuilding, and has already recreated several items to be used when services are resumed on the Temple Mount.

Preparing for the Mark of the Beast

Revelation 13:16-17 describes the control system which will be implemented during the reign of the Antichrist. During the Great Tribulation, every person on earth will be coerced into pledging allegiance to the Antichrist. Those who do so will be given a unique identification mark or number permitting them to participate in the world economy. Those who refuse will be denied the “privilege” of buying and selling.

The REAL ID Act mandates that Americans produce federally approved identification upon demand. Although it has repeatedly postponed implementation penalties, the Department of Homeland Security has announced a gradual rollout for enforcing the law, beginning in April, 2014. The Affordable Care Act, often referred to as “Obamacare,” implements a national ID system disguised within a “data hub,” and a “unique patient identifier” to verify eligibility. Concurrently making its way through Congress, as part of an immigration reform bill, is “E-Verify,” a mandated universal biometric ID required for federal approval for employment.

A War that Originates from the Euphrates River

The Euphrates-Tigris basin is shared between Turkey, Syria and Iraq, with Iran comprising parts of the Tigris basin. Since the 1960s, unilateral irrigation plans altering the rivers’ flows, coupled with political tensions between the countries, have strained relations in the basin. Disputes have prevented the three governments from effectively co-managing the basin’s rivers. Although cooperation efforts were renewed in the 2000s, these have yet to result in a formal agreement on managing the basin waters.

Although cooperation efforts were renewed in the 2000s, these have yet to result in a formal agreement on managing the basin waters.

Iran is one of America’s and Israel’s foremost enemies and the Islamic Republic has become one of the most serious threats to stability in the Middle East. As Iran is rapidly achieving nuclear capability, the region will become far more dangerous as the number of countries engaged in nuclear activities grows. The Deputy Commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has threatened that Tehran is able to “destroy every spot” in Israel. Germany views Iran as a potential threat not just to Israel, but also to European countries.

Entrance Ramp for the Antichrist

“WWIII – Entrance Ramp for the Antichrist” details how this war is going to come out of the Euphrates River area, resulting in the killing of one-third of the human race. It is going to happen and it will affect us, our families, our nation, our world, everything. And it looks like it is coming sooner, rather than later.

A 1970s publication caused a big stir when it showed that continuing on business-as-usual population and consumption growth trajectories would likely lead to societal collapse within a century. Were the scientists behind it right?

A major scientific warning

If you’re a Population Connection supporter, you’re most likely familiar with The Limits to Growth (LtG), a seminal scientific report published in 1972 by think-tank The Club of Rome. Using computer models developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the authors demonstrated the danger of ignoring the finiteness of our planet. They warned,

“If the present growth trends in world population, industrialization, pollution, food production, and resource depletion continue unchanged, the limits to growth on this planet will be reached sometime within the next one hundred years. The most probable result will be a rather sudden and uncontrollable decline in both population and industrial capacity.”

In the LtG researchers’ “standard” model, which reflects business-as-usual, population, food production, and industrial output (a measure of economic growth) increase exponentially until rapidly diminishing natural resources cause an economic slowdown beginning around 1970. Population and pollution continue to increase for some time after peak industrialization, but decreased food and medical services cause death rates to rise from around 2020 onward, leading to a rapid fall in population beginning around 2030.

According to the LtG standard model, we are now roughly at the beginning of the end. The authors pointed out that given the many uncertainties in their model, it is not possible to accurately predict the date that things start going badly wrong, but that it is highly likely that growth will stop well before the year 2100. Is societal collapse this decade really that likely, and if so, can we still avert it? Let’s take a look at what experts think nowadays.

[As an aside, “collapse” does not necessarily mean human extinction. In his 2005 book, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed, acclaimed scientist and author Jared Diamond defined it as “a drastic decrease in human population size and/or political/economic/social complexity, over a considerable area, for an extended time.”]

Accuracy of The Limits to Growth models

An independent 2014 analysis of the Limits to Growth models concluded that we had thus far been following the “standard,” business-as-usual scenario very closely, with world population and the global economy continuing to grow at roughly the same rates as in the decades before 1970.

The LtG researchers also ran several more optimistic models — some featured in their 1972 book, and some in later publications. A more recent, independent 2020 analysis of the accuracy of the LtG models found that the two scenarios that represented the closest fit to historical data were one in which natural resources are twice as abundant as in the standard model, and one that assumes rapid technological innovation.

The LtG authors included the doubled resources scenario in case their estimate of the global stock of resources was wrong. The scenario assumes technological discoveries and advances would double the amount of resources that can be extracted and used. In this scenario, collapse occurs, but is caused by pollution (interpreted in the 2020 analysis as including greenhouse gases leading to climate change), rather than resource depletion.

The technological innovation scenario, which also represented a close fit in the 2020 analysis, does avert collapse, but still leads to declines in human welfare because the cost of technology solutions becomes so high that not enough resources are left for food production and health and education services. The author also warned that even if extreme technofixes might prevent collapse, they probably won’t yield the kind of world most people desire:

“Why would we use our innovative powers to invent robot pollinators to replace the bees, if we also have the choice to invent agricultural practices that do not have the side effect of insecticide? Why use drones to plant new trees, when we could also restructure our economy so that existing forests are not cut and burned down?”

In her analysis, she also found that the most optimistic LtG scenario depicting a path to sustainability and stabilization of human welfare at a high level this century was the one that aligned the least closely with empirical data. She concluded that “humanity is on a path to having limits to growth imposed on itself rather than consciously choosing its own.”

In their 1972 book, the LtG authors made it clear that allowing infinite growth to continue would certainly result in a dire outcome. They noted,

“…if we want a stable system, it is not desirable to let even one of the two critical positive feedback loops [population and economic growth] generate uncontrolled growth. Stabilizing population alone is not sufficient to prevent overshoot and collapse; a similar run with constant capital and rising population shows that stabilizing capital alone is also not sufficient.”

Perversely, mainstream economists and governments generally act in opposition to this advice, striving for both continuous economic and population growth.

Is our environment at a breaking point?

Looking at the state of our environment, it’s not hard to imagine that collapse isn’t far off. Despite claims that growth can be decoupled from environmental damage through technological innovation, all our major environmental issues, from biodiversity loss to resource depletion to climate change, are still getting worse instead of better.

Recent scientific reports have warned that humanity has already breached the majority of critical planetary boundaries. In addition, climate data show we may exceed 1.5°C of global warming above pre-industrial levels within the next few years. Nations agreed to limit warming to 1.5°C under the 2015 Paris Agreement because scientists believe that exceeding this threshold could trigger irreversible, catastrophic consequences, such as the melting of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, leading to major sea level rise.

We are increasingly seeing the disastrous impacts of the climate crisis unfolding around the world, from devastating floods in Pakistan, to famine-exacerbating drought in Ethiopia, to record-breaking wildfires in Canada.

While most of the attention is on climate change, all environmental issues have the potential to become disastrous. A 2020 study published in Nature Scientific Reports, for example, argued that we are on course for collapse driven by deforestation. Forests play a vital role in carbon storage, oxygen production, soil and biodiversity conservation, and water cycle regulation — countless lives and livelihoods depend on healthy forests. According to the study’s models, maintaining current rates of population growth and deforestation would mean we have a less than 10 percent chance of avoiding “an irreversible collapse of our civilization” within just a few decades.

Make or break factors

Of course, a deteriorating environment doesn’t necessarily have to lead to collapse. A paper published last year looked at which factors determined whether past societies survived environmental shocks. Looking at examples of historical societies, the authors concluded that whether a society collapses is not just a function of the type and severity of the stressors but also depends on existing cultural, political, and economic structures. In times of crisis these structures can either help build resilience and facilitate positive adaptation, or undermine collective action and lead to unrest, violence, and societal collapse.

In other words, stable societies with high cohesion and cooperation can potentially withstand even dramatic shocks, whereas it doesn’t take much to cause chaos in vulnerable societies. Needless to say, the fact that global inequality and political polarization are on the rise does not bode so well for the resilience of modern societies.

In his book Collapse, Jared Diamond identified two crucial choices that determined whether past societies failed or survived; long-term thinking and reconsidering core values.

Decisionmakers and industry leaders usually pursue what benefits them in the short term, even if it’s bad for society in the long-term. A current example is governments and fossil fuel companies choosing to expand fossil fuel production even though they know this will worsen the climate crisis. This type of short-termism is not compatible with a sustainable future.

Regarding core values, modern capitalist societies have been conditioned to value material wealth above other things, but caring for each other and nature needs to become the new priority if we are to prevent overshoot-driven collapse.

Many people are well aware of the need for systemic change, long-term thinking, and valuing people and the environment over profit, and it is encouraging to see growing movements at the community level. Whether these movements can grow strong enough to pull humanity back from the cliff edge remains to be seen. But what’s clear is that we’re rapidly running out of time to prevent things from getting very bad.

Other than the obvious consequences, what might we expect from a partial economic collapse? A total collapse of the economy would throw the nation into utter chaos. But what if we endure an economic depression, or a severe and long-lasting downturn? I think that some of the effects are not so obvious.

1. The college and university system will collapse

As I explained in this previous post, the system of higher education is a house of cards. The cost of getting a college degree has risen sharply and steadily, while real income has remained relatively flat. The price rise is due to the easy availability of grants and loans for education. But with so many persons getting a college degree, its value in the marketplace has plummeted. Many college grads are out of work, or they are working in a job that does not require a degree. Eventually, this practice of paying more and more, for something that is worth less and less, will collapse the system. Colleges and universities will not have enough paying students, and professors will not agree to a drastic pay cut. Overhead expenses are far too high.

All that is needed is an economic collapse, or partial collapse, to topple this house of cards. Many universities and colleges will be forced by economics to shut down.

2. Agricultural yields will plummet

The current U.S. agricultural system is based on the expectation of high yields. But high yields are obtained by high inputs — all the things that go into growing the crop, including lots of fertilizer, perhaps irrigation, herbicides, pesticides, labor, machinery. Then those high yields are sold and the money is then used to fund the inputs for the next crop cycle.

An economic collapse will mean that farmers will not be able to afford all the inputs needed for high yields. And when yields fall, the amount of money from that crop will be less. Then the next crop cycle will have even less money for inputs, resulting in even lower yields. And the process will continue — lower yields, less money, lower inputs — until many farmers are out of business and a food crisis results.

3. Violent crime will increase

When people lack money and food, they become desperate. And desperate people do desperate things. Theft and robbery will skyrocket, and people will be afraid in their homes, and afraid to go out in the community. Even a quick trip to the market will become risky. Sales of most goods will plummet, causing the economic crisis to worsen. Protests will turn violent. Home invasion robberies will become much more common. Many people will be killed or injured as a result of this increase in violent crimes.

4. Law enforcement will be overwhelmed

The law enforcement system in the U.S. is commercial. Officers are paid. We don’t keep a large excess of officers on the payroll, just in case crime sharply increases. So it is relatively easy for the system to be overwhelmed. And that means a call to 911 might not bring the police to your door in time, if at all. Those who have firearms for home defense will be much better off than those who rely solely on the police. But many households have no firearms. And that means that robberies will increase, and so will the economic damage and the number of injuries and deaths.

5. The healthcare system will be overwhelmed

The healthcare system is also commercial, and lacks a safety margin in the form of excess doctors and nurses. Hospitals operate at close to capacity. A sudden increase in persons who are sick or injured will overwhelm the system.

The aforementioned increase in violent crime will undoubtedly increase injuries. But it is less obvious that a disruption to the food production and distribution system will increase illnesses. Plenty of good healthy food is the first line of defense against illness. Malnourished persons are much more likely to get sick. So an extended disruption to the food supply will cause an increase in illnesses.

6. Travel anywhere will become dangerous

As a result of all the above described problems, travel will be dangerous. Want to make a quick trip to the supermarket? You risk having your house robbed, if it is left unoccupied. And you risk being attacked on your way back from the market. Robbers might wait outside the market and follow anyone who looks like they purchased a lot of food.

There will be protests in many places, and violence will often break out. People who are hungry and afraid do not make the best decisions. Then there is the cultural aspect of the situation. We live in a culture that tells us to expect the government to take care of us, and to protest whenever anything doesn’t go our way. Ironically, self-sufficiency is abhorrent to our narcissistic culture.

I expect that the roadways will be dangerous, as violent criminals will see travelers as easier targets than homes.

7. The death rate will jump higher

People will be malnourished because of the disruption in the food supply, so they will get sick more easily. Violent crimes and violent protests will result in many more injuries than usual. And yet healthcare will be much more difficult to access. There will be a shortage of hospital beds. It will be difficult to get a doctor’s appointment. There may be a shortage of prescription and OTC medications.

All of these factors will make life a riskier endeavor.

Now if you are a seasoned prepper, who has long considered the dangers inherent in an economic collapse, you may have anticipated some of the above consequences. But I hope I’ve added to your understanding of the possible problems that we may soon face.

Ezekiel 3:26-27 ~ “I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be silent and unable to rebuke them, for they are a rebellious people. But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says.’ Whoever will listen let them listen, and whoever will refuse let them refuse; for they are a rebellious people.”

======================================================

THIS IS WHAT THE SOVEREIGN LORD SAYS:

“The Harvest Fields are Blighted
With hardened hearts of sin.
World War 3 brings fire
My FINAL rain begins.

Woe to you who try to rename that which I created:
Male and female.
You make yourself as a god,
But YOU are fallen oh man,
Into Satan-inspired sin.
Repent and again I say REPENT,
Or you will be cast into the Lake of Fire with Satan and his minions.

Justice is Mine.
Righteousness is defined by My Word and not by your opinion oh church of Babylon.
I despise your doctrines of demons that cause my people to stray.
Repent and again I say REPENT.
Teach TRUTH.
Let MY spirit lead you, not your dwindling coffers.
You block MY spirit, so I will block YOU from entering into my rest.

You have but little time oh daughter Babylon.
You take MY grace and grind it into powder of dust to serve up with doctrines of demons.
You preach that which itching ears want to hear.
I WILL refine you with FIRE.
You WILL see an invasion of your nation.
I WILL bring you to your knees that souls may be saved oh prideful America.
You sold your birthright to Satan, so Satan will be granted authority to take you down.
Grief and mourning will replace laughter and joy.
Repent oh daughter of Babylon.
Again I say REPENT.

Take the time now, my people, to let me cleanse you from your hidden sin.
The day is soon coming when all will be exposed.
Let me cleanse you in the quiet or you will be shamed in the presence of your enemies.
Repent and again I say REPENT.”

REVELATION 18:1-9 ~

“After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illumined with his glory. And he cried out with a mighty voice, saying, “ Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place of demons and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird. For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the passion of her immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich by the wealth of her sensuality.”

I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues; for her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Pay her back even as she has paid, and give back to her double according to her deeds; in the cup which she has mixed, mix twice as much for her. To the degree that she glorified herself and lived sensuously, to the same degree give her torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as A queen and I am not a widow, and will never see mourning.’ For this reason in one day her plagues will come, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for the Lord God who judges her is strong.”

Isaiah 18:3 (AMP) ~ “All you inhabitants of the world, you who dwell on the earth, when a signal is raised on the mountains — look! When a trumpet is blown — hear!
===================

Luke 21:10-13 ~ “Then he told them: ‘Nation will be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be violent earthquakes, and famines and plagues in various places, and there will be terrifying sights and great signs from heaven. But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you. They will hand you over to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors because of My name. It will lead to an opportunity for you to witness.’”

=====================

I am required by the LORD Jesus Christ, (Yeshua THE Messiah), the KING of kings and the LORD of lords, to bring you this  FINAL WARNING of judgement today (posted on YouTube at 8am, Central Standard Time on 1-20-2021). Judgement upon the United States, Babylon (Revelation 17 & 18). This message was a prompted recording from 11-18-2019.

The LORD let me know that this video (and post on my blog) is the very LAST warning message I am to give. I will also not be able to reply to any YouTube comments, email or contact through my blog. I have to live out the prophetic picture of Ezekiel 3:26-27 until further notice from the LORD GOD Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth.

================================================

Ezekiel 3:26-27 ~ “and I will make your tongue cling to the roof of your mouth, so that you shall be speechless and unable to reprove them; for they are a rebellious house. But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, “Thus says the Lord God”; let those who will hear, hear; and let those who refuse to hear, refuse; for they are a rebellious house.”

Psalm 118:8 ~ 
”It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.”
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Amos 8:11 ~ 
”Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord God,
“When I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine for bread or a thirst for water,
But rather for hearing the words of the Lord.”

Ezekiel 3:26-27 ~ 
”and I will make your tongue cling to the roof of your mouth, so that you shall be speechless and unable to reprove them; for they are a rebellious house. But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, “Thus says the Lord God”; let those who will hear, hear; and let those who refuse to hear, refuse; for they are a rebellious house.”

===============================

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE: REPENT and seek the LORD Jesus Christ with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. You will NOT make it on “religion” and you will NOT make it without full submission to the leading of Holy Spirit.
