If the economic collapse is so inevitable, then why aren't the economists ringing alarm bells?
Why aren't people rushing to the bank to withdraw all their money out?
Why is it that only the conspiracy crowd seems to be somehow aware of this "economic collapse" on the horizon?
Do they have clairvoyant powers?
If so, what are tomorrows lotto winning numbers?

As shocking as the title may sound, but its something which I've come to realise after witnessing countless failed predictions of doom and gloom.
All this hype about the Eurozone collapsing and WW3 on the horizon is just fearmongering based on speculation and rumours.
Well we saw the nuke go off and the alien ship landing in the Olympic stadium during the London 2012 Olympics, didn't we?
Sure, we might have a war with Iran sometime within the next 5-10 years, but it will entirely be a conventional war with no nukes. I don't think those in charge are so stupid to destroy the earth just over Iran's tincy wincy little nuclear programme!
And as for the Global economic/Eurozone collapse, unfortunately we're just going to go through another long hard recession. A complete collapse of the financial system would effecively send us back to the stone age, so I'm pretty sure those in charge are not too stupid to allow that either just to fulfil the wet dreams of a few "doom survivalists".
That is why I'm 100% certain the Global Economy WILL NOT collapse and there will be NO World War 3 because I am 1000% certain you cannot trust what the conspiracy crowd are collectively speculating about the next doom date.

Burn Notice!
Why the long expected economic crash has not happened yet; notes on the irreversible decapitalization of the West.

the lifeline, will be the states and the rise of their power again
building from the ground up, eliminating entire levels of local government in order to just survive.
The spontaneous organization of people at the ground level to look not to government but to look to their neighbors, their church, their temple, secure their family and then see who needs help.
Once stability is restored the economy will start again.
but:
Not with imports from foreign lands because their collapse will be far greater, far more violent, far more starvation as they are ripped from the American tit of consumption......
