What goes up must also come down to mollify reality.

All the money pumped in will evaporate once the inevitable slide starts. That’s when things get interesting.

Lots of people will get wiped out, not because they’re invested in the market, but because they’re going to lose their job, pensions, benefits, etc once the SHTF. Call it economic ‘collateral damage’.

These folks are going to be angry and rightfully so. There’s millions of them. Many with guns. Why else the push to start seriously voiding the 2nd Amendment NOW? TPTsB know this circus can’t go on forever, so they’re implementing practical programs to protect themselves from the rabble; that’s you and me, people not ‘in charge’.

Some black swan event will flip the switch that will crater the economy and that’s when martial law, an obvious to everyone ‘police state’ takes over. The military will be called in to shoot USians and for a time they will. All those deer rifles and menacing looking ‘assault rifles’ in private hands aren’t going to be worth shit.

Eventually, the military will start firing on each other before they start firing back at their handlers once they realize that they’re shooting each others relatives. Because military types are dump as a stump, carnage will be unavoidable for a short time.

What follows after a cease fire and the military grunts siding with the rabble is anyone’s guess. This could be a replay of the French Revolution.

sao,
if you take out one part of one demographic group & exclude suicides there just isn’t much gun violence but that has never mattered to tptb–
for many years people have been trying to figure out why–
over 20 years ago i remember seeing an article regarding this issue of the pissed off,armed elderly–if i recall correctly it was more about the failure of ss than private pensions but the idea is the same-plenty of elderly w/”good” pensions would be borderline poor if social security was taken away–

There is no market, it is the Federal Reserve playing games. The rich get richer and the poor take it in the shorts. The former middle class is being eviscerated and living off of credit. How long can this go on?
To be continued…..

the rich get richer b/c they are the ones w/the disposable income & means to leverage but imo the reason so much of this is done by the fed is to keep stock prices from tanking,thus leading to massive layoffs,thus leading to …–

You are, of course, correct. That’s why I’m a misanthrope.

The bulk of humanity isn’t worth shit. The bulk of humanity is too stupid to see they are being used to exploit everyone, including me, for the benefit of the 1%.

They vote. Their tiny brains form opinions after seeing a talking head on TV. They believe they are owed a living simply because they exist. They are the ultimate problem because they support the fraudulent system. The politicians and assorted sociopaths couldn’t function without them.

Black on everyone crime is the real cause for all the gun violence. I believe it’s related to IQ and blacks are at the bottom of the list in the USA. That’s not a racist statement, but one of fact. The lower the IQ, the more prone to lash out because they aren’t smart enough to come up with an alternative in my opinion.

Political Correctness makes it impossible to have a sensible conversation about the various low life groups in the society. The ‘law’ is a political expression of political correctness since the Democratic party exists and morons are allowed to vote and do vote negating the vote of the more intelligent. That’s why I refuse to participate in the fraud known as democracy; the epitome of ridiculous governmental systems.

A house cleaning is in order. As an avowed anarchist (rules but no rulers), I believe the average person should be armed and dangerous at all times. There’s no need for the scum known as cops who protect the political class using taxes to pay their salaries extorted through the threat of violence that the various police agencies represent. Get rid of the police and the low life morons in the military and the political class evaporates. The average decent person becomes supreme in his own sphere, which is as it should be.

The only reason the powers that be fear free armed citizens is because once their full plan crushes every average citizen for life the citizens will truly have nothing to lose and the big “THEY” know it !
Yet the big “ THEY” will continue thinking their actions won’t give free fair minded people a reason to shoot them but just in case as all totalitarian governments forced disarming of the population will continue using the parasitic method of death to freedom , suck the wealth and life’s blood out of you for your SAFETY ! Ya sure that’s the concern …
