Most Americans are dissatisfied with government, an astounding 81%! But the two parties and the establishment elite remain unresponsive. The government is buying off discontent with food stamps and unemployment benefits. It is hoping that more inflation will stimulate the economy for awhile. But all of this in the longer run simply reduces the country’s productivity and increases the pressure from below for change. A collision is in the making between the people and their rulers because the political outlets for change are being blocked by the two parties, whose nominees are offering more of the same.
What will happen? Most of the scenarios are ugly. If the establishment stays unresponsive, one major possibility is that the force that will batter the establishment (and Americans too) will be financial. In this scenario, the U.S. will go the way of Greece and Italy. The deficits and debts will eventually lead to a rejection of U.S. government debt and higher interest rates. That will force the government to retrench. This will lead to draconian powers coming out of Washington. There will be more inflation. Deep fractures will appear among Americans as people thrash around for solutions and new arrangements. A second ugly possibility is that the rulers start to scapegoat certain Americans and institute even more socialist/fascist policies. A third ugly possibility is that the establishment ramps up a major war. One of the better possibilities is that the establishment starts to lose some elections to more libertarian candidates and then starts to alter its policies so as to retain power. There are many more possible scenarios…but something big is in the cards.
Comment by Kevin H. Muhammad aka: Kevin 6X on December 12, 2011 at 11:20am I like the message in the picture; here in Pensacola, FL, I often come across people asking for change at gas stations. Without handing over so much as a penny, I tell them, "Change is coming; change is coming!" It's going to take Divine intervention to get this greedy beast off the throne so we can get some order back.
Three years ago I was relying on unemployment while working on my ticket to independence; and I advise those who are depending on someone else for aid to invest in something that you believe will take you to a level where you can enjoy freedom, justice, equality and peace! Earlier this year (2011), I was jumping in trash dumpsters in Rialto, CA with my now ex-girlfriend and her son there for assistance; we were recycling cans, bottles, glass and some metals on occasion, to add to the very limited aid we were getting. We had reached a low of accepting that everyone was about to get out there like we were to get money for survival. This was our routine 3 days a week; jumping in those dumpsters before the trash trucks came to take our loot! Now I'm on the other side of the country, promoting my books and driving a cab. I remember the days when unemployment was paying me back $800 a month; now I earn more than that in a week (All praises be to Allah). I have a system of saving money that is working! Stack those racks and prepare to invest in a land of your own, a home, a garden to grow your own organic food, etc.
