Nigel Farage told King World News the other day is very ominous....

Today MEP (Member European Parliament) Nigel Farage spoke with King World News about what he described as the possibility of, “a really dramatic banking collapse.” Farage also warned that central planners want to enslave and imprison people inside of a ‘New Order,’ and he described the situation as “horrifying.”


That's fine if they want to enslave and imprison people ... as long as those enslaved and imprisoned people are the ones responsible for and complicit in the collapse.

How can we disagree with the OP and the findings of the research? Of course a collapse is coming, it has been predictable for decades. Our government has had plenty of time to correct it. They have acknowledged it and refused to do anything about it besides find ways to save themselves and the ensure the continuation of government. We refused as a whole to stand up against this racket and we will fall as a whole.

This should be on the front page of this site, at the top, for at least... well... until the collapse happens. Then we won't need internet, will we?. Facts are facts people; whether you can comprehend or wrap your head them - get with the program. This is the world's biggest issue without exception. Everything else stems from this elephant in the room. Police brutality, gun control, climate control, GMO, UFO disclosure, war, big brother all take a far backseat to the collapse. And that is how you know people still don't believe it... cuz the said topics are bigger than the coming collapse. Good luck knuckleheads. .

I don't remember a housing bubble in 2001.
I also don't remember prices jumping that much in a week or even a year.

The bubble is a result of the lowering of lending standards. The government did instigate the circumstances that lead to the collapse. But they didn’t directly cause the collapse.

With each administration they pushed for more home ownership. When a new family buys a used house (their first) they push a upper tier family into a brand new and more expensive house. Then every family on the ladder tends to buy new furnishings for their respective houses. That’s the secret to spurring the entire economy. New car, new clothes, new tv, everything gets a boost.
Had the securities rating companies done their jobs and not caved into the profit side of the equation, the housing rush would have slowed on its own. The mortgage backed securities would not have been given AAA ratings and therefore would not have sold as quickly on the market. That would have shut off the supply of loan money.


They wern't smart enough to plan for the last collapse and I don't think they are smart enough to preplan the next.
They are a reactive bunch not proactive.


Actually it was the supply of cheap money and the pushing of subprime loans by the federal government that lead to the 2008 debacle! That in turn created alot of demand for houses which in turn pushed up home prices!
I believe the banks and the federal government knew what was going to happen when those sub-prime buyers began to defalt! Brooksley Born even tryed to warn them but they would not hear of it and so they eliminated her job and claimed that the markets would regulate themselves! The belief that anything happens by chance is ignorant cause these things are designed to fail and funnel monies to the top! this has been happening since the inception of the reserve banks and it was the implimentation of the Fed that was suppose to control the boom and bust cycle! Control it does so well to create this boom bust scenario and when it finally does end it wont end well for anyone except the elite!


The beginning of the end came when Bill Clinton signed off on eliminating the glass steigle banking act. If you want to go further back you can blame the end of corporate pensions and the beginning of self funded 401k / RRSP retirement plans (which is another thread on its own).

Funny how 1s and 0s can cause such things.

I think it's even bigger than any of us can even conceive.

The U.S dollar essentially holds the same value as a piece of confetti, it really is an 'any day now' proposition. There really is no going back or any use entertaining some romantic notion that "they" are going to fix it somehow .

It doesn't matter how they budget or who gets elected , the plan is in place . The question is , what is that plan?

It's troubling to see the recent spate of racially motivated attacks and shootings ,war posturing around the globe, unusual movements in the stock markets and almost deliberately stupid economic decisions made by governments . The scariest of all is the disregard governments have for their peoples, like it's no longer necessary to even pretend they represent us ... this starts to make all the conspiracy theories not look so far fetched after all.

Ok Doomsday-ers...The message is getting SO OLD now...Every year a new "theory", a stretch to invoke fear and chaos. Just go to work, save some cash, enjoy your kids and settle effing down. Build your life up instead of waiting for it to be torn down by some fairytale vision of roaming the streets with a shotgun foraging for the last scraps of food on Earth...Good God. THAT really sounds fun to you? The truth is, anyone who sits around waiting for "the end" Needs to go to a designated "The End Island" and you can all procrastinate, theorize and wish for misery together while the rest of commit ourselves to building up our nation and its future.

Check back, the cults, the predictions, the false alarms...It hasn't gotten old to you yet, but it will.

In the meantime, get yourself cleaned up, learn the art of social interaction and contribute to a positive, healthy world.


Oh dear, here we go, typical assumptions oozing right out your rear, unfortunately littering the computer screen.

For your information, I work in a full-time job for the Australian government in the national Department of education. My job is easy, I just sit on my butt all day for just over 60 k a year and actually don't do a whole lot of work at that. I'm contributing positive to the Australian community by way of undertaking secretariat functions for a national coord group to meet throughout the year to discuss updates and issues regarding the recruitment of high caliber applicants into the public teaching profession and thus providing Australian school students with quality teachers that seek to lift education standards and outcomes.

You see, I'm not some doomsdayer who sits around all day like some unemployed slob hurling insults at other people over the internet who, like myself, are eager to share information with other people who would like to know.

So keep your pathetic assumptions to yourself before you post again on my threads.

The idea that TPTB - who make TRILLIONS off the current system - would allow said system to crash is ludicrous. Yes, they'd certainly be MUCH better off with all their useless $, holed up in a house in the country eating cabbage. *eye roll* Come on...

I've heard this song and dance a million times. I can't count the number of posts claiming that Person X (usually an Alex Jones flunky) states that collapse is going to happen around X date. Guess what? Never happens.

Yes, the economies of the world are suffering. Yes, they'll continue to suffer for some time.

But total collapse? It's a survival porn fantasy circulated by paranoids.


I've heard this before ... but you are wrong.

You think this is business as usual?


I laugh but in a way it is business as usual .... Tyranny, after all, is throughout history much more common than freedom.

You think they just want money? Wrong. They want Power and complete Control. Money is, and always will be, a means to an end. Big piles of cash are just pieces of paper its what you can get with that paper that you want.

You see TPTB make the money - they create it. They literally have all the money in the world. But what they don't have yet is TOTAL CONTROL. Americans and Europeans are for the most part, right now, free.

You are trying to see TPTB from your perspective - the way you think. But that is not the way they think. What does a person that has all the money they could ever want do? What do they do when having more money is meaningless? They want to change things - make things - reshape things - control things. They engage in social engineering and reshaping humanity to match their imagining.

They think they are brilliant - why else would they be where they are? They think they know better than everyone else and that they have the right to dictate how you live. YOU are insignificant and yet YOU are contributing to the consumption of their resources (planet). You ARE a problem in their eyes. YOU are just a "useless eater" and they have a solution to this "problem" rolling around in their evil minds.

That's right, you see after the collapse they will have ALL the money (a new monetary system with a horrible exchange rate from the old) and TOTAL CONTROL. The stupid masses will give it to them BECAUSE of the collapse. The masses will agree to anything to undo the hell they are living in.

Problem - Reaction - Solution. (really does work)

They are control freaks and they won't be satisfied until they can dictate EVERY single thing about your existence - even whether you get to have an existence. History is full of examples of people like that. Humans are still human aren't they?

Ultimately they will resort to just killing people - they always do - and eventually they will even be self destructive - control freaks always are. Hopefully people will resist and their reign will be short lived.

You obviously don't get it. But you will .... and you won't have to wait long.

Get out of your normalcy bias and open your eyes - its in your face 24 7 - really it couldn't be any more obvious.

If I were a wealthy eugenicist with incredible vision then my final goal would be to 1) lower the world population to under a billion 2) automate all labor 3) start publicly using new energy systems and alien technology 4) control breeding to promote intellectually and physically superior humans and 5) direct global focus e.g. make humans a spacefaring race and pursue science as passionately as the Nazis did. I read a story about how the 21st century would be if the Axis powers won WWII...and the estimated result was we'd have no war and lunar + Mars colonies by now. Not to mention far superior humans.

So I can see what they're trying to do and can't say I've a problem with it because I'd try do the same in that position.

We all just play the cards we're dealt. Our cards are for survival, their cards are for conquest and reinstating a 70 year old paradigm (which is ironically being spearheaded by Zionists). There is no right or wrong.

I've been told I "won't have to wait long" for decades. I'm STILL waiting. Just like I'm still waiting for Jesus to come back. (Any day now, they say!)

If they existed as you describe, and they wanted complete control, they could have seized it at any time.

This big cabal we're supposed to be afraid of...in one breath I'm told how powerful and evil they are, yet in another I'm told they're losing because people are talking about them on the internet. They don't sound very powerful to me. It reminds me of the Christian Satan. He's SOOOO scary, but in the next breath they tell you he really doesn't have any power at all.

I suspect than in 10-20 years, a lot of people are going to look back on their lives and discover that they wasted it living in fear of boogeymen of their own creation.

I don't understand why people think the off road tires are significant. Would you build a truck like that and then not give it the capability to traverse off road conditions? You would put some good year radials on there or something?

Duh. They want to replace the whole money system. They need to render the old money system useless first.


agreed, the only way the new world order can usher in a new world currency is to crash the current global monetary system and crash it so bad that no one will want it to be rebuilt because no one will have any faith in that type of system anymore.
