There is still a belief being held by many Americans that the U.S. Economy will stabilize at some point, and life will return back to normal. Unfortunately I must inform you now, that this is not ever going to happen. If you have followed U.S. and World economic news reports over the last twelve months, a bleak picture begins to emerge that is clearly leading to a future economic catastrophe. The White House recently reported a deficit of $482 Billion for Fiscal Year 2009, but the true number is $789 billion. There has been 463,000 jobs lost so far in 2008 and the job market is steadily declining. Major foreign companies are starting to refuse U.S. Dollars in favor of Euros as payment, and the big players in Oil are looking at $500 a barrel to be paid in the future. The U.S. dollar has drastically fallen to record lows and is worth about seventy cents right now on the global market and all signs point that it is not going to ever get any stronger, but quite the opposite. All of this happening while companies like Exxon Mobil Corp. just reported a second-quarter earnings of $11.68 billion profit, which broke all business records to date by any U.S. corporation ever. American banking institutions are beginning to tumble like dominoes, one after the other.  The FDIC insures banks up to $100,000 for each individual. With this said, the FDIC is really just a government agency, and who is to say when our economy collapses that the FDIC will be able to help anyone. The House just voted to provide $162 billion in war funding for 2009, while currently spending around 11 million dollars an hour on the U.S. war machine in the middle east. If you think The United States is leaving Iraq anytime soon, I hate to tell you this, but we are not going anywhere. $700 Million dollars has been spent on The U.S. Embassy in Iraq, and it is bigger than the Vatican. I also recently read that the U.S. is going to build 50 new military bases in Iraq. It cost's somewhere between two and three billion dollars a day to run our country and our government has been selling bonds to China for years in an effort to keep the inevitable from happening, but also allowing China to basically own us, knowing that they can now or sometime in the future trigger our demise. With the dollar so low right now, foreign investors have been buying up America and what industry we have left one piece at a time. Home foreclosures are at record numbers and tent cities are popping up from coast to coast with many forced to live in our national forests. The Federal Reserve (which is not Federal in any way), has been scrambling to keep things going with never before seen moves, but these band-aid type of fixes are temporary, delaying the end for only a short time longer. The U.S. currency is not backed by gold any longer and has not been since the nineteen seventies. Soon the dollar will not even be worth the paper it is printed upon. Maybe now a picture is starting to develop in your mind of the true economic situation we now find ourselves in. I could fill this page with hundreds of more statistics but my purpose is to get the reader started researching these issues and to develop their own conclusions. I feel that it is completely naive and juvenile to believe that we have a chance in coming out of this without irreversible damages. There was a Secret meeting by The House of Representatives on March 13th,  2008 which spurned news leaks about martial law and the collapse of the economy in September. I personally think September 2008 will come and go without the economic collapse we have been warned about. It is still going to happen, but not in September. The main reason people are saying this is because the fiscal year ends in September, but I believe that it will take several more months before the bottom falls out from under us. When this does happen, it will shut down the day to day operations within The United States effecting everything and everyone. In the name of fear and terror, Americans have relinquished many rights which has ushered in the current police state. (Right now in America one in every one hundred adults is locked up behind bars!) Laptop computers are being confiscated at the boarder, our police departments are being slowly militarized, Halliburton was recently awarded a $385 contract to build detention centers in The United States, and in coming years wars will be waged over water instead of oil. At some point martial law will be ordered and enforced in America creating the endgame scenario that so many have viewed as mere conspiracy theories and tall tales. Stock up on food and water, have several emergency plans ready to implement if needed. Buy hand crank/solar electronics. It never hurts to be prepared for what ever may come your way.
