shtf | Something is wrong. Very, very wrong.
Our economy is, as it has been for many years, on the brink of
collapse. They may not have announced it officially just yet, but recent
data suggest that we are most certainly in another recession (we may
never have actually gotten out of the first one). While official
statistics indicate there is very mild economic growth, the fact is that
the growth is coming from monetary expansion driven by the Fed. As more
money is slammed into the system prices rise, forcing consumers to pay
more for everything from food to stocks. This, in the eyes of the
government is growth. In reality, however 55% of America’s wealth has been vaporized in the last five years, a quarter of American households are on food stamps, and consumers are tapped out.
In the middle east, things are heating up, with Russia having deployed their Pacific Fleet to the region, and the US putting boots on the ground in Syria as recently as this week.
On the political front, we have the President of the United States,
his administration and his subordinates at domestic intelligence
agencies, the IRS, the Pentagon and the Justice Department embroiled in
scandals and activities that have even their most ardent supporters
questioning what is really going on behind closed doors.
Yes, something is wrong. But no one is talking – at least not in an official capacity.
Thus, we are left to connect the dots ourselves with the help of various sources made available through alternative media.
We certainly can’t expect government officials to openly admit that
some very bad things have happened, are happening and will likely happen
in the future. But there are those inside the halls of our most
hallowed and respected institutions that risk their lives to get
information out so that we can be prepared for what may well be coming
down the pike.
We can downplay anonymous sources and pretend like this is all made
up, or, we can simply look around and see what’s going on in the world
and put two-and-two together.
