Conspiracy theories abound whether they are correct or not, common sense and simple math dictate that something major is about to take place. If one looks at exponential growth in all of the areas that are affecting this economy it is obvious that we've finally hit the threshold of no return. It is easy to say that a depression of epic proportions will never take place nor will riots, martial law, civilian prison camps, the New World Order, the eradication of religion, etc. Of course all of this is merely drama and conspiracy.
The ancient Greeks realized the power of philosophy....enough said.
..............Oh...great news, Iran is starting up its nuclear facility within the next few weeks thanks to Russia's help.

Something is happening. Americans are letting corporations screw them over big time and smiling about it. Corporations control our government now and the ignorant people need to realize this and take back control of our government. They work for us. We do NOT work for them. People saying the rapture is coming are the complacent people that would rather sit idly by and watch instead of actually trying to do something about it. The system has trained them into being submissive to authority. I am not one of those people.

first we allow it to be taught for two or three generations of Americans that God doesn't exist and that survival of the fittest is the natural process in which we select our leaders.this totally negates the basis of american freedom as a right granted by God established at the birth of our nation. then we promote entertainment that desensitizes those generations, emotionally preparing them for gratuitous violence.while we are at it,lest give them the right to commit fetuside,so we don't have to kill as many people who might resist in the years to come. as well,to curb the birth of children so they won't be such a problem,lets promote a lifestyle of same sex coupling,so they won't make babies. with these measures fully in place,the pacified public no longer cares if they are free,because they have not been educated into what that word really means. so then the wealthy who are involved with this plan,called bureaucracy,will be able to change legislation that at one time held off poverty in this nation, making the transfer of wealth to the 1% of the axxholes who started the process in the 50's. hey,God bless America.

Everyone should have at least 7 days of bottle water and a case of beans and candles in the winter. Dogs are good too because they can bark at intruders and provide extra protein in a pinch.

This isn't the worst depression in our history -- not even close.
What's going on? Evidence that laissez-faire capitalism, tax cuts for the wealthiest, and supply-side economics don't work. And that silly decisions made based on superstitions (like "god told me to invade Iraq") are, indeed, silly.
Try some rational thought, rather than even more uncritical thinking like conspiracy claims. It's been shown to work.
Peace.

China doesn't let their currency fluctuate as it should, making their stuff incredibly cheap. They're relaxing those policies now, which should increase their imports as their currency rises.
Meaning: things are looking up, just give it time.

End of the world. The Bible book Revelation tells all about it.
