Bob Chapman, published of The International Forecaster, writes The Clock Ticks Towards Financial Judgement Day

Over the next few years there will be no warning bells. You will need a suit of armor to protect you both physically and emotionally. Financial chaos could come sharply and quickly or subtly; prepared you’ll survive unprepared you will perish. That is what the IF is all about, knowledge and preparation. Sort of like a class at university. That is why we are thankful that we can do 20 hours of radio programming a week that reaches millions of people throughout the world. Hopefully we can prepare them for survival.

The signs of America’s demise and that of the world as well, are all around us. The morality of leadership and law are gone. The rules are whatever the leaders want them to be. We are a nation of corporations bent on profit, greed and control of the American public. What it all is headed for is bankruptcy and the control and oppression of the people.

What will you do when you find your bank is closed, or all the banks are closed? If you haven’t made preparations you have problems. That is why $5,000 in small bills in your safe at home, along with your gold and silver coins can allow you to survive. Wars will be raging across the planet and food will be of preeminent importance. You won’t need to worry you will have put aside food for such an emergency.

On the surface, good news seems to be everywhere. Look just a little deeper, and you’ll see that the fundamentals of the global economy are falling apart. The system cannot be sustained as is. Food and energy shortages are likely to occur amid the panic.
