What are you going to do?

It is right out there in plain sight for anyone to see; anyone willing to take a look anyway. The collapse of the American Empire in in progress and it will drag the rest of the world with it. We will see more bank failures followed by more bailout-plans which will also fail. Every move that is made on the world economic stage will only dig this massive hole deeper. Americans will see even higher taxes, increasing unemployment, austerity measures, and finally the collapse of the country entirely. It will bring hunger, poverty, depression and eventually full blown riots leading to civil war, revolution, or both.

But why am I stating the obvious? Because it’s obvious, that’s why. Because you should already be aware of it. It should just be a friendly reminder of the things that you have watched evolve in this country for over half a century now. It should not come as news to you. However, if it is news to your ears, you are in trouble.

Many people have buried their heads in the sand. It has not yet arrived on their front door so it cannot be of any concern to them. Nothing has changed. The T.V. still comes on, the Starbucks still serves coffee, and Dancing with the Stars is still filling with intrigue. As long as these people never peek out from beneath the security of their blankets of lies, they will never see the boogy man standing in the room.

But he is there nonetheless.

So what are you going to do? What are your plans? How are you going to survive the overwhelming changes that are coming to our globe? Even if you are aware, have you thought about your role in the post-empire America? When they cut your welfare, your health care, your disability and social security what will you do? How will you make money to eat and cloth and house yourself? What skills do you have? What goods can you produce? What natural talents do you have that can be of use to you and others so as to make you a needed member of society as opposed to a begging street urchin looking for someone to take care of them?

You better get on that with some thinking if you already don’t know the answers to those questions. Regardless of what you think about how we got here, we are here and you better prepare yourself and those around you deal with the future. It will be a future of need as opposed to abundance. It will feature millions, if not billions, of human beings realizing that they are ill-prepared to survive in a system that no longer supports their every whim.
