you heard that commercial too?

Can someone post the gist?

That is a fucking boring video.

It's a glowing review of Zeitgeist.

The guy is predicting an economic catastrophe and he knows where you should invest to take advantage of it. I've seen ads like this before. He claims to have predicted the Fannie Freddie collapse and other shit.

Peter schiff predicts a rough 2011 too... and he's always been right

 

[Colonel Ronan]

If the collapse is going to be as boring as that video then I don't give a fuck.

Ha! I thought the same thing. My interest went kaput after 5 min. or so.

Bullet points would be appreciated.

I hear that a lot from people I respect but things just seem to get slowly better.

The government has monetized almost $3T in debt since Obama became president. This is devaluing the dollar (by 8% in exchange rates in 2010 alone). If the US dollar is no longer accepted as the world's reserve currency, we'll have to buy some other currency with our worthless dollars to buy anything we import.

That's the gist.

Do you wanna know what you should invest in if you think things are going down the crapper?

Guns and ammunition. Fuck gold and canned food.

You know it always cracks me up when people say they don't need to prepare for a disaster because they have a gun.

Guess what? So does the guy who prepared for the disaster, and it's likely that he's better with it than you are.

Seriously though, I'm considering a small garden in my back yard for veggies and such, and I'm still building a decent kit with food and supplies. You can actually keep your own water but you have to rotate it out after about six months or it goes bad.

 

[Minstrel]

Obama has brought us to this...trying to decide what is the best way to survive the collapse of the American empire into neighbor-against-neighbor anarchy and squalor.

How did we (as a nation, I mean...I realize the Republicans on this forum warned us about this) fall so easily for the deceptive charms of this charlatan? I suppose we just wanted something for nothing, instead of working hard for greatness that we could pass along to our children and their children. And we didn't heed the best advice of our armed services.

I love being English. When shit goes down I'm going to Canada. Commonwealth, for the win.

Gold is certainly a soft metal, but it is still a metal. I would rather not fuck it, as my cock (El Presidente: cawk) is, while occasionally still admirably hard at my advanced age, not hard enough to do a gold brick. Maybe a goldbrick though? Canned food is ok if the edge of the can is not too jagged once it is open. Peaches are a good choice.

Some of these so called patriots seem to have very little faith in their country.

Assuming he and I have the same resources, and he's using some of those resources to buy food and supplies, I will be better stocked in terms of ammo and training than he will be.

Of course, I was kidding. If it comes down to me stealing other peoples' food then it's pretty much game over and I don't worry about that too much.

I know you were kidding Ed, I'm really speaking in broader terms. I've heard that statement many times from many different people, and I've always thought the same thing. I think there are quite a few people who have a 72 hour kit, and those people might not have a gun, or if they do they might not have much experience with it. From what I've learned, however, a 72 hour kit won't be sufficient in a major disaster. The likely response from FEMA and our neighbors will probably be much longer than 72 hours, so those people will be shit out of luck just like everyone else after their kit has exhausted itself.

It's the guys who have planned for one or two weeks without outside assistance that will be stocked with guns, ammo, and generally a good understanding of how to use them.

I've seen these before. It's just a ploy in an attempt to get you to buy his stuff. And as a side note, I love how much he toots his own horn "Well, according to myself I was right once, therefore clearly I will be right again"

Starting a backyard garden in preparation for America's doom is hilarious. No offense.

I never said it was for the collapse of America. Actually it's more for natural disasters, like earthquakes and such. You know, like when super markets run out of supplies and the trucks can't get through for a few days? I might never have to use it for that, so in the meantime it will provide me with fresh, organic fruits and veggies. But I'm glad that I can provide you with some entertainment.

It is funny... and he takes SO LONG IN DOING IT.

Dear Lord...

Corporations have record profits this last year and we are headed for a collapse...was Marx right then? When the capitalistic beast gets so strong that it bleeds the government dry through endless lobbying to lower taxes, get subsidies for just about everything, and create tax loopholes it threatens the very security of the nation. We have reached that point, especially with the Bush bank bailouts, and then the follow-up bailouts by the current administration. Greed has taken away our ability to educate, employ, and house our citizens. Pretty sad.

Democracy fails when the people realize they can vote themselves tea and circuses.

 

[mook]

I've got a friend of FB who posts about every third day about his growing stockpile of guns, ammo and (to a much lesser degree) food. I mean I seriously think the dude has dropped upwards of 30k on the Armageddon.

He's got 30k in guns. I've got 30k in the S&P500. I wonder which of us will look like the smarter investor a decade from now.

In addition to self-defense concerns, guns and ammo will provide years of food if necessary, and a bow or knife will provide it forever.

As far as actual investing, weapons manufacturers and defense industry giants are the usual profiteers in these situations.
