Question of the Day, Feb 10

Super Bowl Black power, cops abusing citizens, first amendment deteriorating, fourth amendment gone, presidents with a pen and a phone, lunatic morons leading the presidential race, market crashing, real unemployment setting records, commodity deflation, wars, civil unrest, “immigrant” “refugees” infesting Western countries. All is well. What will the fourth turning catalyst finally be?

My vote… the dollar collapsing, or the acceleration of the loss of reserve currency status.

‘They’ (all our governments) have been kicking the can – for so long – I think they could do it almost indefinitely – at least for another 25 – 50 years.

No matter what happens the government figures out some sort of tax / scam / racket / bailout / entitlement – just to keep the status quo.

The items mentioned about – like illegal immigrants, copfucks, etc are certainly not enough to put anything over the top, nor are they connected (no synergistic effects).

I think it will have to be a natural disaster / pandemic.

The EU or Japan crashing – don’t know which will be 1st.

Flash,

At first I was going to disagree with you, but then I gave it some thought and decided you are right about it.

Liberals always resort to mass violence when they don’t get their way, makes no difference whether it’s in Europe or the United States or anywhere else, rioting and burning is a liberal tactic.

Unfortunately, it usually works to at least some degree.

When the Free Shit gets turned off.

That’s right, nothing happens as long as people have their freeshit, and continuous access to it. Once the freeshit stops flowing, all hell breaks loose. Take that to the bank.

(PS — Hey, starfcker! How’s that for Economics??)

The free shit stops when the global house of debt implodes. Total global debt exceeds $200 trillion, 300% of global GDP. They’ve added $70 trillion of that debt since 2007. The house is teetering as we speak. Bankers are lying. Deutchebank is insolvent. Citigroup is insolvent. The entire Chinese banking system is insolvent. Japan is imploding. The PIIGS have more debt than they had in 2011.

The entire edifice of debt is crumbling and will destroy the global economy before the election.

Or not. 🙂

Australasia is a good outside bet. Didn’t I read somewhere that Australia hasn’t had a recession in 30 years?

Stucky….I might add…When the Baby Boomers getting SSI payment are told they are going to be reduced by 50% and those who haven’t retired yet are told theirs will be reduced even more or eliminated . Those folks coupled with the FSA will make the Bonus Veterans March look like a Sunday School gathering .

For a precursor to all of this watch as municipalities start cutting the pensions of cops,firemen etc because their retirement fund is waaaaay underfunded !

Stuck + Buck probably have it right. The pity is we will be so busy surviving we won’t be able to get a little revenge along the way. I am older and have the usual chronic medical issues and most likely will not survive the collapse. It would be nice to get a few licks in before I go.

@Buckhed: “For a precursor to all of this watch as municipalities start cutting the pensions of cops,firemen etc because their retirement fund is waaaaay underfunded !”

Take a look at Pennsylvania and Illinois. The Gov of Pa wants to raise taxes $2 billion for pensions, Il raised taxes significantly, several years ago, and they are in the hole again.

Popcorn time, BUCKHED just poked the boomers and their leader. Always good for a few exchanges. I +1’d you BUCKHED, the 3rd rail is susceptible to a power interruption, they just don’t know it.

Liberals have had a real party printing and spending money; spoiling and brainwashing the Useful Idiots buying votes; creating a society of drones and a bottomless pit of National Debt; the FSA Sheeple are following the Profligate Pied Piper over the debt cliff (Dollar Collapse). Soon, a days labor for a loaf of bread. Soon the Urban Jungles will be huge ash trays.

@RHS: Let me remind you that all the “deficit spending” originated with Reagan, who as I recall, was no Liberal. Ask David Stockman or Paul Craig Roberts. Both were there.

Francis Marion

Westcoaster,

The same is true here. Both types of governments have run surpluses and deficits. Our Republicans go by the name “Conservative” here but they are also the ones who began to usher in a new era of gun control here as too (Thank you Kim Campbell).

Our modern conservatives were a bit better as they were some what of a combination of the old Conservative Party and a western phenomena called “Reform”. They unwound some bad laws, specifically regarding gun control, got rid of the long gun registry and mades things simpler bureaucratically speaking. On the flip side they still ran deficits, ushered in the security state (Bill C-51) and the TPP once again proving my theory that no matter who you put ‘in charge’ the fact is – when it comes to things that matter to TPTB – they ain’t.

Remember that little book, “Who took My Cheese?”

When FSA cheese goes? Look out below. Now we are

starting to see the process of states, cities, and municipalities

unwinding pension obligations. Eat shite, drink lead, and die.

Meanwhile, mega farms, water resources, and feed lots/meat

processing operations are being sold to and operated by

the Chinese. Western ranchers are being forced off their

land so the minerals below can be sold/were sold? Climate

change? Next, we will be charged for the air we breathe.

Agenda 21/30? We will be grateful for our 300 sq.” cubicle.

People say, “hey, that isn’t lawful!” & “That isn’t in the constitution!”

“Stuck + Buck probably have it right. The pity is we will be so busy surviving we won’t be able to get a little revenge along the way. I am older and have the usual chronic medical issues and most likely will not survive the collapse. It would be nice to get a few licks in before I go.”

@Overthecliff…ditto.

My money is on the return of the Anunnaki. When they find out that we sandbagged them on the pyramids we were supposed to be building, they are going to lose their shit.

It won’t be pretty.

Some country that doesn’t like us(take a pick) Will listen to all the talk about how easy a dirty bomb is to use/build.And launch one into the U.S. from a boat off the coast.
Or people will actually admit how broke we are and the free shit stops flowing.And we get the riots right afterward.

I think it is a race between:

A Lehman repeat with DoucheBank

A fuckup (genuine or false flag) that leads to all out war in the Middle East

A natural disaster on US soil

Grid Down situation will most certainly do it. Either EMP, cyber attack, or failure of the Smart Grid. A couple of months of no electricity will see a massive die off. Get a quality pressure canner to preserve your meat so you don’t lose what’s in the freezer. Lots of salt also. Quality 22 rifle with scope and lots of ammo for small game. I could live on squirrel around here. On the other hand, can’t pay a mortgage if there is no grid !

I was also going to mention dirty bomb in a major amerikkkan city, but yahsure beat me to it.

Francis Marion

I guess to answer the question I would say that no one thing is going to bring this fucker down. It’s going to be a series of small legs up and medium to very large legs down.

You’ve got insane immigration policies, the decimation of free speech, unbelievable levels of debt and political corruption as the rule of thumb. It’s shitty from every direction. The good news is I’ll be dead eventually and they can write “I Told You So” as an epitaph on my head stone.

My money is on Europeans finally finding their balls and getting a little vigilante justice after a group of muzzies gang rape the wrong girl. The straw that finally breaks the camel’s back, as it were. Sooner or later there will be a clash of ideology as the West fights back against the muslim hordes. The elites will not be able to control what they provoked and they will go the way of all the worthless royalty after the conflagration they started in 1914.

Greetings,

Crap, I don’t wanna be left out on this one some I’m gonna go long with an EMP. Whether solar flare or a few nukes overhead, when that hits 90% of us are gonna die.

Whatever the catalyst is, let’s get it on! The sooner it starts, the sooner it ends.

Westy you ignorant slut. The nat’l debt after about 230 years (1776-2008) was about 10 trillion and now it is 20 trillion and might be 25 trillion before the Racist Communist Muslim Usurper is gone. The responsible party is Obama (not Reagan or Bush). I’m tired of your stupid Leftist lies and deceptions; move to another site and I hope the door breaks your coccyx.
