Point blank..the US is in a lot of trouble and there is essentially at this moment a quickly approaching expiration date on the abilities of the Fed to contain the COMEX fallout and also be the buyer of last resort for T-Bills. They can’t do both and soon they won’t be able to do either.
Run and gun, grab as many resources as you can and insulate yourself with local vassals so that when everything does finally collapse, you can reboot as cleanly and quickly as possible without having to face a widespread civil war or possible foreign invasion. Folks, this is what we’re looking at.. it’s not a joke. Why do you think Congress is mum? They understand what’s happening.
You all have a responsibility to yourself and your families to be adequately prepared for this when this event occurs. There will be no law enforcement, no courts and likely a mass cessation of modern utilities. The Federal Government will be MIA trying to reform domestically whilst still projecting military power internationally with the real chance of kicking off a major war they won’t recover from.
For you folks in Europe, you’re in greater danger than us in the States because Russia already has laid down the gauntlet that if it comes to war then “everyone is going to die.” It doesn’t get more crash out than that.
