We are currently in a “bailout bubble”. If it wasnt for the massive stimulus, the U.S. and world economies would have already collapsed. Shipments would have stopped, businesses closed, possible riots in the streets, panic everywhere. (something we might have to go through in order to preserve our freedom)Â
There are two answers to this massive problem.
1. Cut taxes by 50% and make severe cost cutting cuts throughout the entire economy which will effect both the private and public sectors. This will eventually allow us to pay off all of our debts.
2. Keep inflating the economy with stimulus money. In other words continue to pay debts with more debt. Keeping Americans comfortable.
-The first option will be hard and make things very tough on us for several years, maybe longer. It will be similar to the Great Depression…maybe worse. But non-the-less our FREEDOM would be preserved.
-The second option will lead to more government control, socialism, facism, marxism, communism and possibly even a dictatorship. This option will be less painful in the short-term but it will lead to us LOSING OUR FREEDOM and more pain in the longterm.
Our day of reckoning is here:
I say FREEEEEEDOM
“GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH”
Seeing Generationzero and the people behind it, at least validates what I have been telling friends and family for a year now. Even close family thought I was a bit extreme with my forecast and that it could never happen in America. This week we saw that in fact Greece will become insolvent possibly by March 15th. Add to that the Fed. Chairmans testimony on wednesday and the problems with England and with the rest of the PIIGS and you can see the gathering global financial storm. I think the big question is when, not if the storm will hit, and what sequence of events pushes the world into the abyss?
i can tell u guys that something big and terrible is about to happen. Jim Rogers said that the pund sterling has about a couple weeks left  before it collapses. ben bernake finally admitted that we could face a greece type of collapse. the pres of greece says they have cash only until mid march
my best bet is a UK collapse and this will crush the “recover.” the sovereign debt crisis is going to spread very soon. prepare for the  real summer of hell, not the one the webnots predicted a year ago.
The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
Well, looks like EVERYBODY’S become a prophet now and the Apocalypse is right around the corner. As I write this, there has been a 7.0 magnitude earthquake near Okinawa and another 8.3 quake off the coast of Chile. Oh my!
The IMF is calling for a new, world currency, Iran is moving its nuclear fuel, Soros – that sneaky Commie, is the brainchild behind a hedge fund plot to cash in on the demise of the Euro, and over a million people lost electricity in the Northeast due to a snowstorm which broke records. Bonds are in trouble, home sales have declined 7.2%, and even Chavez’s rant against Bush flopped when his power went out. More jobs are being lost, ammo is hard to get, and climate change “greenies” are still claiming the air YOU exhale (carbon dioxide) is causing global warming which is destroying the earth (never mind that plants love this stuff and take it up and give off oxygen. Never mind that for over 200 million years dinosaurs thrived in a globally warmed, tropical earth).
I could go on, but as a boy I remember Henny Penny telling us “The Sky is falling! The Sky is falling!
There are too many Henny Penny’s running around. Every time a bit of news lands on their heads which goes along with their theory that the apocalypse is right around the corner – they run out and buy more ammo, a camo hammer and chain saw, enough rations to last astronauts on a flight to Mars and back, and look for a bunker to hide in.
I’m an American. Built from original stock which came to our shores in 1770. I live by that old motto: “When the going gets tough.. the tough get going.” I was also a Boy Scout and their motto is “Be Prepared.” However, that doesn’t mean looking for apocalypse scenario’s in every news item and runn’n around like a chicken with its head cut off.
Oh, and for you kids who may have forgot; here’s the story of Henny Penny…..
Narrator:  Chicken Little was in the woods one day when an acorn fell on her head. It scared her so much she trembled all over. She shook so hard, half her feathers fell out.
Chicken Little:  “Help! Help! The sky is falling! I have to go tell the king!”
Narrator:  So she ran in great fright to tell the king. Along the way she met Henny Penny.
Henny Penny:Â “Where are you going, Chicken Little?”
Chicken Little:  “Oh, help! The sky is falling!”
Henny Penny:Â Â “How do you know?”
Chicken Little:  “I saw it with my own eyes, and heard it with my own ears, and part of it fell on my head!”
Henny Penny: “This is terrible, just terrible! We’d better hurry up.”
Narrator: So they both ran away as fast as they could. Soon they met Ducky Lucky.
Ducky Lucky:Â Â “Where are you going, Chicken Little and Henny Penny?”
Chicken Little & Henny Penny: “The sky is falling! The sky is falling! We’re going to tell the king!”
Ducky Lucky:Â “How do you know?”
Chicken Little:Â “I saw it with my own eyes, and heard it with my own ears, and part of it fell on my head.”
Ducky Lucky:  “Oh dear, oh dear! We’d better run!”
Narrator:  So they all ran down the road as fast as they could. Soon they met Goosey Loosey walking down the roadside.
Goosey Loosey   “Hello there. Where are you all going in such a hurry?”
Chicken Little:Â Â “We’re running for our lives!”
Henny Penny:Â “The sky is falling!”
Ducky Lucky:Â Â “And we’re running to tell the king!”
Goosey Loosey:Â “How do you know the sky is falling?”
Chicken Little: “I saw it with my own eyes, and heard it with my own ears, and part of it fell on my head!”
Goosey Loosey:   “Goodness! Then I’d better run with you.”
Narrator:  And they all ran in great fright across a field. Before long they met Turkey Lurkey strutting back and forth..
Turkey Lurkey:   “Hello there, Chicken Little, Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, and Goosey Loosey. Where are you all going in such a hurry?”
Chicken Little:  “Help! Help!”
Henny Penny:Â Â “We’re running for our lives!”
Ducky Lucky:Â Â “The sky is falling!”
Goosey Loosey:Â Â “And we’re running to tell the king!”
Turkey Lurkey:Â Â “How do you know the sky is falling?”
Chicken Little:  “I saw it with my own eyes, and heard it with my own ears, and part of it fell on my head!”
Turkey Lurkey:  “Oh dear! I always suspected the sky would fall someday. I’d better run with you.”
Narrator:Â Â So they ran with all their might, until they met Foxy Loxy.
Foxy Loxy:  “Well, well. Where are you rushing on such a fine day?”
Chicken Little, Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, Goosey Loosey, Turkey Lurkey (together)  “Help! Help!” It’s not a fine day at all. The sky is falling, and we’re running to tell the king!”
Foxy Loxy:Â Â “How do you know the sky is falling?”
Chicken Little:  “I saw it with my own eyes, and heard it with my own ears, and part of it fell on my head!”
Foxy Loxy:   “I see. Well then, follow me, and I’ll show you the way to the king.”
Narrator:   So Foxy Loxy led Chicken Little, Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, Goosey Loosey, and Turkey Lurkey across a field and through the woods. He led them straight to his den, and they never saw the king to tell him that the sky is falling.
We need to get ready to meet our Lord. Our redemption is drawing near. Jesus is King.
Jesus answered and said to them …
       And there will be ‘earthquakes in various (diverse) places,’
       (Matt 24:8)
Day late…Dollar short.  If it happens as many here at SHTF believes many will die. Myself, my wife and daughter will do o.k. for a litle while but we will meet the same fate as many. We’re suburbanites in a modern house on a tiny lot like millions of other Americans. Our only hope(outside of the Lord Yeshua’s return) is that I am a mountaineer/woodsman/sportsman with outdoor skills and some survival experience. If need be we’ll head up into the deep woods and try to live the way my ancestors lived here in the WNC mountains.
Turned on the TV this morning and learned of the massive earthquake in Chile and the entire western pacific under a tsunami warning. Waves should start hitting Hawaii about 4:50pm est.
I will not preach to those of you here that discount or have some animosity towards the Christian faith…I do suggest you read the Olivet discourse in the book of Matthew.
On the Earth right now:
33 armed conflicts                                                     Â
Earthquakes everywhere…4.6 in Michigan last week?!?                     Â
Blizzards, tsusnamis, mudslides, et al.
Famine conditions continue in Africa and southeast asia but its never in the news.
My wife knows I think something wicked this way comes but I keep some of my thoughts to myself because I don’t know to what degree she can handle it.
May God bless you and keep you all.
E
Jesus forgot to tell you that there HAVE been earthquakes in diverse places EVERY day for BILLIONS of years and there will continue to be earthquakes in diverse places for billions more years.
You would think that the “son of god” would know this.
Interesting blog you’ve got here. To understand the arguments put forth by the “Generation Zero†documentary, it is crucial to distinguish between the actual Baby Boom Generation (born 1942-1954) vs. Generation Jones (1954-1965). GenJones was originally lumped in with the Boomers, but is now generally seen by experts as a separate generation. Understanding the differences between these two generations is central to comprehending this documentary.
Â
The post-WWII demographic boom in births is one thing, the cultural generations born during that era is another. Generations are a function of the common formative experiences of its members, not the fertility rates of its parents. And most analysts now see generations as getting shorter (usually 10-15 years now), partly because of the acceleration of culture. Many experts now believe it breaks down more or less this way:
Â
DEMOGRAPHIC boom in babies:Â Â Â 1946-1964
Baby Boom GENERATION:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1942-1953
Generation Jones:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1954-1965
Generation X:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1966-1978
Generation Y/Millennials:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1979-1993
Â
Google Generation Jones, and you’ll see it’s gotten lots of media attention, and many top commentators from many top publications and networks (Washington Post, Time magazine, NBC, Newsweek, ABC, etc.) now specifically use this term. In fact, the Associated Press’ annual Trend Report chose the Rise of Generation Jones as the #1 trend of 2009. Here’s a page with a good overview of recent media interest in GenJones: http://generationjones.com/2009latest.html
