conspiracy free debate about the world economy...

with all the bank runs, closures, take overs, massive mortgage company's going into receivership, and some of the elite independent brokerage firms of the world being taken over, i have to ask...is this the beginning of the global economic collapse?

before you answer you all need to know that the american govt is now totally dependent on foreign country's buying up american treasury bonds so it can carry on, without other country's buying up the bonds the govt of america will collapse.

the american govt has basically taken over the running of fanny mae and freddie mac, just that guarantee alone is another 3 to 5 trillion dollar debt on the already near 10 trillion dollar debt it owes to the fed. that additional debt has placed the american govts ability to borrow money from the fed in SERIOUS jeopardy.

this all makes the collapse of enron look trivial in comparison and yet no one is being or going to be held accountable :?

with so many american jobs going abroad and entire industries being boxed up and shipped out to other country's the peoples ability to borrow money is maxed out because even lower interest rates will not help stimulate the economy because people wont be able to borrow any more money if there is no work for them.

even tho in the uk we don't have the problem of jobs going abroad, our open borders policy and minimum wage has taken many high paying jobs of the past and turned them into jobs that only foreigners will do. so instead of shipping out our industries we have swamped england with many people who will work for the minimum wage and have the same result as america, we just did the reverse of what the american govt has done.

another thing is, while the housing bubble was expanding, wages stayed stagnant and people where given a false sense of wealth where people have borrowed themselves into so much debt that peoples lives are now being destroyed on an industrial scale worldwide, and the future looks grim indeed if people can no longer find a job that will pay enough for them to borrow if the economy does pick up, especially here in the UK where we have the minimum wage.

we are walking an economic knife edge and i have no faith that things will get any better, so my questions are:

1) will the west recover and things will get better or not?

2) do you feel your economic future is secure?

3) do you think the govt is doing ok?

4) why do you think the govt is still trust worthy when it is incapable of running the economy?

5) war is the biggest debt generator of them all and with so many wars worldwide and with so many potential wars waiting in the wings how can we trust that the economy of the west WONT collapse?

6) with so many banks, mortgage firms and brokerages collapsing on a daily basis now, there is a very real threat that we are going to have mega corps running everything, do you still think things will be OK in the long run?

7) how can we claim things will get better when the majority of family's have both parents working just to get by, and many of those parents working multiple jobs?

8, we know for a fact that the banks want to kill cash and bring in total electronic money in the form of an RFID chip which will contain ALL your details and NOT just your bank account, in this light how can we trust that dissension will not be met with the shutting down of your chip and starving you to death just to shut you up, how can we trust that the info on the chip will be secure when its been proven that RFID chips are anything but safe and secure??

9) do you believe that the economy WILL 100% collapse, if so why in your opinion do you believe it will happen??

10) how can ANY nation claim to be free if RFID chips are introduced?

if you have a question of your own which could be added to that list please let me know and i'll add them...


let the debate begin!



P.S. no conspiracy's or anything like that, just a pure debate about the global or your national economy.

1) will the west recover and things will get better or not?
eventually they will get better. they always do. the timeframe is the problem. it'll happen much faster when THEY stop meddling and let the laws of the world do their job


2) do you feel your economic future is secure?
not at the moment.


3) do you think the govt is doing ok?

i presume you're talking about american government. the last time it was doing sorta ok was during reagan's presidency. but it's generally crap since about 1916


4) why do you think the govt is still trust worthy when it is incapable of running the economy?
govnt's never been capable of runing economy and never will be. economy runs itself. govert only creates problems (like the depression in 1930s. and i heard fanny and freddie were semi-state bodies anyways. that explains a lot)


5) war is the biggest debt generator of them all and with so many wars worldwide and with so many potential wars waiting in the wings how can we trust that the economy of the west WONT collapse?
economy collapses from time to time. that's just how the world works. it's impossible to predict how deep the collapse will be.


6) with so many banks, mortgage firms and brokerages collapsing on a daily basis now, there is a very real threat that we are going to have mega corps running everything, do you still think things will be OK in the long run?
how many exactly? i heard about only 6. and got the impression that it's mega corps that's going down the drains.



7) how can we claim things will get better when the majority of family's have both parents working just to get by, and many of those parents working multiple jobs?
this is due to the unbearable taxation imposed by etatist and socialist governments (the funny thing is most of them call themselves "conservative" and "right wing")



8, in this light how can we trust that dissension will not be met with the shutting down of your chip and starving you to death just to shut you up,

if this happens it'll be due to errors and incompetence. no beaurocracy, public or private will ever be able to control such complicated system (they can't even make a simple money transfer without making mistakes, and ya expect them to control ppls lives?). and it'll never be safe. certain well motivated groups of criminals will find access to it.




9) do you believe that the economy WILL 100% collapse, if so why in your opinion do you believe it will happen??

ya mean like 100% of the economy collapse or that it'll collapse with 100% certainity?



10) how can ANY nation claim to be free if RFID chips are introduced?
nations can claim the weirdest things. and this is not abot freedom of nations, but about freedom of individuals.

do thay really want to introduce rfid? it's too easy to copy (can be copied with a contactless scanner... so basic security concerns....

i'm speaking generally, so feel free to comment on your own govt or any other you have info on :-)

if fanny and freddie were indeed semi-state bodies, then that would explain allot

if the collapse i fear does indeed come, deep wont come into it, it will be total :?

its hard to know just how many due to-to many conflicting reports, if were talking about mega corps then its roughly 6 but i would say no more than 10 if you take into account takeovers as well.
but there are reports of at least 20,000 much smaller banks in the US alone which are in trouble

very true. (i corrected your spelling of "elitists", is this correct, if not let me know)

if the collapse that i fear does indeed come, it will be total and worldwide, but no one can say with 100% accuracy that it will come but we are leaning towards it because we have in the UK and the US a 100% debt based fiat currency, in short for those who don't know what that is...a 100% debt based fiat currency is based on debt, no debt no money in circulation, and that is very dangerous because theres no way a 100% debt based fiat currency can last forever. take the US for instance, the national debt has now outgrown the money in circulation, meaning, there not enough cash in circulation to pay of the debt if the entire country pooled their cash!

Here's something that the media is not saying...

As you know, after the 1920s-30s Great Depression, the US Govt. passed several laws that prevented credit companies from loaning too much among other economic laws.

Well, in the pass few years leading up to this, all of those laws have been removed.

It doesn't take a rocket scienist to figure out what going to happen next. :roll:

I bet by this time next year, the world will have collapsed into anarchy and someone has nuked a city. You all better start [-o< to whatever god you believe in, cause we're totally **Filtered**!

1) will the west recover and things will get better or not?
Yes, if by get better you mean will the market recover then yes

2) do you feel your economic future is secure?
yes

3) do you think the govt is doing ok?
?????? This economic collapse was not so much the governments fault but a combined effort and the exploiters are what popped the bubble

4) why do you think the govt is still trust worthy when it is incapable of running the economy?
governments don't run the economy, they try to influence it to secure stability.

5) war is the biggest debt generator of them all and with so many wars worldwide and with so many potential wars waiting in the wings how can we trust that the economy of the west WONT collapse?
no its not, its not a coincidence the economic boom of the late forties and early fifties
happened after the war


6) with so many banks, mortgage firms and brokerages collapsing on a daily basis now, there is a very real threat that we are going to have mega corps running everything, do you still think things will be OK in the long run?
actually it's good ground for new banks and small ventures to capitalize in a fallen sector

7) how can we claim things will get better when the majority of family's have both parents working just to get by, and many of those parents working multiple jobs?

The majority of families don't just scrap by on two incomes(check facts please)


8, we know for a fact that the banks want to kill cash and bring in total electronic money in the form of an RFID chip which will contain ALL your details and NOT just your bank account, in this light how can we trust that dissension will not be met with the shutting down of your chip and starving you to death just to shut you up, how can we trust that the info on the chip will be secure when its been proven that RFID chips are anything but safe and secure??
we do??????,(i thought you said no conspiracies)

9) do you believe that the economy WILL 100% collapse, if so why in your opinion do you believe it will happen??
no, that is impossible(well not really but it would require about a 90% percent drop in population)

10) how can ANY nation claim to be free if RFID chips are introduced?
(I don't know, but i know where yours should be implanted)

I would go and quote the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition, but that would create a too light mood for the public to cope with. We're all so serious.. :(

What I do wonder about, is how much you have lost, personally and (if applicable) your family?


Personally, I lost a quarter of my trust fund. :)
As far as I know, my family actually managed to consolidate her possessions before the actual collapse. Grandpa's worth dropped about 10%, but that would be about it, the rest of the family's money is quite safe. I think in general, I took (percentage-wise) the biggest fall.
((Please do keep it in percentages if you do answer. No need for a poking contest. Thanks!))



Anyway, had a discussion with a few friends of mine whether 'removing' the principle of 'rent' (as soon as all the money in the world would be exactly worth what it is worth in natural resources) would prevent these things from happening in the future.
We concluded that it wouldn't, seeing as how it would require a farmer to be equally important as a cardio-surgeon, or a cleaner to be equally important as a President. Sure, everyone is required for society to function, and yes, without them, society would collapse. They are not equal. A General Practitioner would work about the same hours as a Secretary of State, but their work is not quite equally important, thus not equally valuable.

Peace is good for business.

confirmed. they were. maybe not from the legal poit of view, but definately from the economic one. so here's the story:

1. some socialist politicians decide that "every american has right to own a house. to achieve this goal we need to start some affordable housing project" (read: to gain votes of some poor folk we'll rob the mon from whoever we can to pay for the poor's mortgages)

2. ppl start buying houses -> bigger demand

3. bigger demand -> higher prices

4. higher prices -> back to square 1. but americans have right to own a hous and govt is paying so why not give loans to ppl who cannot afford them?

as this all is sort of virtual reality the bubble has to callapse to it's ground state (means roughly where it would be know hadn't the govt mon been pumped in) so we have the property crisis pulling everything else down.

now. what's the govt remedy for the crisis caused by govt interventionism? more interventionism! :roll:

that's why there should be separation of govt and economy.


the other thing:
one thing is sure: if govt meddles, there will be a crisis.
one thing is unpredictable: when the crisis will happen and how big it will be.
