Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
I have been warning that as governments move closer to this major event of a Sovereign Debt Crisis which begins next year with the start of the Monetary Crisis Cycle, they historically will ALWAYS, and without exception, bite the hand that has fed them. The object for government is survival of the fittest and that is them. This is never really about helping people as they raise retirement ages, punish the youth with school loans they cannot discharge, and exempt themselves from most laws that apply to us.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

This is also never about how to properly run the economy for the benefit of all. It always boils down to it being them against us. Throughout history, there has never been even one benevolent government that has ever surrendered power willingly for the good of the country or the people. That has NEVER happened even once. Power has always had to be ripped from their grasp either by the people, an internal coup, or some foreign invader.
Yes, not every revolution has to be blood flowing down the streets. It will depend upon the military. In the case of Russia, the military did the honorable thing and stood-down. That is indeed an extremely rare event. From Byzantium and the NIKA Revolt to Tiananmen Square Massacre, the military has often first just slaughtered the people following orders. The German soldiers killing the Jews said the same exact thing – they were just following orders. That has certainly not been the case even recently as in Venezuela where this soldier is killing his own people while standing behind a barricade that reads: “If the order is against the people your honour is to disobey.”
More-often-Than-Not, the revolutions throughout history come about when the taxes of government simply break the back of the economy. We are reaching one of those moments as we cross the threshold into 2018.
Gerbils & that spinning wheel thingy – is it inevitable?
There is no debt. Regardless of this fantasy you call debt and regardless of how ‘high’ it goes the sun will still rise and set, the rivers will still flow, the seeds will still sprout, and life will go on for those who did not play the game. This bullshit we call debt is created out of thin air by something called the FED and then they charge us interest for ‘loaning’ money created from nothing. But they don’t print the money to pay the interest therefore there is no debt. The bills you get in the mail is just ink on paper, it could have been used for any purpose, someone just chose to send it to you because he/she has convinced themselves that you ‘owe’ them something called ‘money’. Will ya’ll ever understand this. thanks
Try ignoring those bills and see what happens.
Recognize the Fed is overseen by the Treasury and ESF.
Yeah, when you dont put the ink to paper and send to those bankers, men with guns in armored vehicles artive to show you the imaginary door or the grave depending on your disposition.
