Pretty sure this type of article pops up every few years. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've seen this exact same claim published a few years ago.

Topic was bumped a bit... but I'll bite.

Market continues to surge skyward. But does that mean the average American is any richer or better off? Wall Street feels like it's own unique bubble right now - devoid from reality and only interested in its own inflation.

This march date in 2015 is looney talk.

More people need to start looking at the world and what people say with a critical eye.

But when you interpolate the Mayan Calendar with the 2011 Dow crash is imminent triphasic gradient even the the Y2K deflector dish can't stop this impending depression!

Who is we? Your Mossad co workers or your US mil intel co workers or the Catholic choir singing gig that you make a good living off?
Learn to read and comprehend...... I don`t believe I ever said I make money off a Catholic choir gig....yet you need to have outlets for when you are not working.......but it seems the only outlet you have is to follow me around pointing out things that you cannot possibly comprehend...things like life and having friends and actually having hobbies....yet being willing on a moments notice to travel for various Government agencies......

CIA Insider Warns: "25-Year Great Depression is About to Strike America"


You will want to remember this date March 26, 2015.


According to one of the top minds in the U.S. Intelligence Community, that is when the United States will enter the darkest economic period in our nation's history.

Jim Rickards, the CIA's Financial Threat and Asymmetric Warfare Advisor, has stepped forward to warn the American people that time is running out to prepare for this $100 trillion meltdown.


Where have we seen this before? Foretelling Doomsday and pushing a book about it?

The Stock Market makes money on the average, but 90% actually lose on their investments and 9% do make money by following the few making most of the profit by insider trading.

Thats because most people are dumb. You generally do the opposite of everyone to make money. Soros timed the bottom of facebook perfectly. It wouldn't be that hard to follow him as he has to disclose his positions occasionally. As soon as I saw him buy facebook I knew he was playing a dead cat bounce off the lows.

Alot of dumb money bought facebook at launch and of course they panicked and sold.

Most people do not have enough money in the stock market for the movement to even make a difference in their finances. The stock market is currently only making the wealthy wealthier.

They poll Americans and around 80% have not been affected by the changes in the stock market. Others have made hundreds of thousands of dollars or more.

So look at what is improving in the USA. How much is truly affecting Americans? The rising stock market, the rising dollar, etc. How much is affecting the non-rich?

You'd best ask Dave, but I'm pretty sure you're now in the evil rich category. ;)

This is all highly amusing, prophets claiming that the end is nigh, money will be worthless, and only I can save you, if you send me . . . money.

THe only sane thing is stocking up on emergency food.

To think our own govt has marked people as survivalist because they want to keep their family safe and well fed during any economic downturn is really stupid.

A knock on the door on 2015.

Hello? Who is it?
LOCAL POLICE. I see you have made purchases for food items to last you more than 6 months. I am afraid you will have to hand over that food and any silver you own.

BAck in USA history the US govt already did a silver and gold run making it illegal to have any kind of silver or gold stored in your home. Only fascist hitler types would come and take away your life earnings without compensation.

There is nothing wrong with hoarding to protect your family. If it is wrong then I ask we destroy every wall and fence around the homes of rich people.


The US govt never confiscated Silver or made silver illegal to own. If you have a link proving me wrong please post. As far as Gold. The Govt back in 1933 did outlaw the private possession of Gold. However they never sent Police/Govt agents door to door. They simply offered a price that was above the current going price per oz for gold and the gold flowed in. The important thing was nothing was confiscated without compensation and no agents were sent out knocking on doors. How would the govt even know you had gold or silver? They don't have a database with this information.

The govt doesn't even have a mechanism in place to track food purchases to see if you were buying over 6-months of food.

evil rich = anyone with more money than dave :biggrin:

and yes, it is a dead giveaway when people tell you money will be worthless, then ask you to give it to them

What do you mean? Every non cash purchase you make is recorded. Homeland Security has the means to access them.

Kept mine, just sold half my holdings a couple weeks ago to get my original investment back. Will hold the rest for a long run.

Well, the things that have contributed to the 2008 crash have not really been fixed.

Banksters who were in charge of the financial sector back then are still there.

It's the majority of elected officials who are to blame for that... as there has been very few willing to speak out about it.



You'd best ask Dave, but I'm pretty sure you're now in the evil rich category.

Do you spend millions or (perhaps billions) to fund organizations to change laws to benefit an industry that you make billions from?

There are very very few truly wealthy people that you could argue are evil. Greedy maybe.
