Reviewing institutional reactions in past crisis reveals current patterns and plans.
Below are snippets and briefs only, as the report would be voluminous otherwise.
Declining exports, as lower lower income, sets off alarm bells…
Past cycles had Currency War → Trade War → Hot War (military intervention).
Experts (central planners and officials) search for ways to influence the international market…
Currency wars (higher inflation and taxes) are fueled…
What is at risk is the central bank’s international monetary system.
Central planners fear price decline (deflation), thus we can expect more market manipulations, price volatility, increasing unemployment and as people’s livelihood are threatened expect more people to lose trust in government/central bank/currency.
Expect governments to show their true character and violate the People with harsher policies and greater use of armed force.
This is the cycle we are witnessing today.
Rather than wishing for a system reset (byway of war), many People want out of the global system of control with personal sovereignty, thus alternatives are being created at the personal level and in local communities…
These people are not marching as protesters, nor pleading to officials, but rather these people are personally implementing changes in their lives.
These are the People on Earth exercising creativity and freedom to manifest a real alternative that nurtures personal sovereignty and peace.
This is the Shift in Consciousness.

Military interventions are financed by Corporates not politicians – All Wars Are Bankers’ Wars
The contractors
In the last eight years, trillions of dollars have flowed to military and homeland security companies. When the administration starts a war like Libya, it is a windfall for companies who are given generous contracts to produce everything from replacement missiles to ready-to-eat meals.
In the first 10 days of the Libyan war alone, the administration spent roughly $550m. That figure includes about $340m for munitions – mostly cruise missiles that must be replaced.

Japan’s Military Posture
The government will nationalize about 280 islands whose ownership is unknown out of the about 400 remote islands that serve as markers for determining Japan’s territorial waters, the state minister for oceanic policy and territorial issues has announced.
The plan, announced Tuesday (7 Jan 2014), the government will complete its search for the islands’ owners by June. Islands whose owners have not been tracked down by then will be registered on the national asset ledger.
The move aims to clarify the government’s intention to protect territories and territorial waters by designating remote islands as “important national territories,” and to reinforce the management of marine resources and national security.

Along with the general reform of the space industry, Russia plans to qualitatively increase the space military forces to improve the strategic nuclear missiles and capacity building of precision-guided conventional means.
President Vladimir Putin said in a late November defense meeting that orbital space grouping has grown considerably with five spacecraft joining this year and five more scheduled to launch before the end of this year. Next year six new spacecraft will be put into orbit as well as a trial launch of modern rocket Angara.

MADMAX v Restructure
…My question is what do you think the collapse of America will be like? Would it be a mild collapse like the British empire or even that of the japanese of being in a consistent perpetual economic recession? Or would it be like a total collapse of American civilization like that of the destruction of the roman empire in 476 AD?
ANSWER: If you look solely at the island of Britain, yes it is intact with some stress. What collapsed was the “British Empire” so to speak. The various nations from Canada and Australia to India and a host of islands, all became independent. The British island survived in culture just as you see the breakup of the Soviet Union where Russia proper survived and is now coming back.
What else collapsed was the British pound as the reserve currency of the world. That flipped to the US dollar. This part of the collapse was economic caused by massive debt increases. Again you do not see hyperinflation, but the deflationary process of contraction.
How did Britain reduce its massive debt? The debt was devalued by the collapse of the British pound. Government debt is ALWAYS the worst possible investment for it is UNSECURED meaning when the state simply refuses to pay you get nothing in return – absolutely ZERO. You cannot run down to the art gallery and grab paintings. Government understands this. When I was young, naive, and stupid, I met with the Treasury during the early Reagan period. The national debt had hit $1 trillion and Volcker was going nuts with the interest rates. He was raising rate to stop inflation when in fact he was simply moving it forward in time and transferring from the private sector to public. With a simply calculator at 17% the national debt would be many trillion by the end of the decade. I thought they couldn’t possible see the long-term consequences of these actions. They calmly said to me – Marty. We will be paying back with cheaper dollars.
This is why Say took the position that only a madman would hoard cash. The Goldbugs argue for a return to the gold standard that somehow money should be worth something. It never has been and its function is by no means a STORE OF VALUE – it is simply an economic medium of exchange – a language economically. That is it. This is why money has been everything from Utilitarian products such as bronze or cattle and even slave girls in Ireland as St. Patrick reported, to trinkets that are desirable yet have no real use within society such as sea shells and precious metals. Money has NEVER been a store of value even when it was “gold” for the state always debased and even gold coins were still fiat where government simply declares money is worth xyz.
So the collapse of the British Empire resulted in the collapse in purchasing power of the currency, the devaluation of debt, and the loss of territory. It was NOT a MADMAX event such as the fall of Rome. That takes placed when government attacks its citizens, hunts down capital as they are all starting to do now, and keep raising taxes PREVENTING economic growth. That is the substantial difference.
So what are we looking at with the fall of the American Empire? There should be a loss in unification (territory) just as we saw in Britain and the collapse of Russia or even that of Charlemagne. Look at the full history of Britain, you see the tribal Celtic pre-Roman Period, the collapse of Britain back into tribal states post-Rome, this is followed the Anglo-Saxson period of numerous states where we see kings of such places as Kings of Northumbria, Kings of Kent, Archbishops of Canterbury and at York, Kings of Mercia such as Offa who introduces the English Penny, Kings of East Anglia (Viking Coinages), Kings of Wessex, yet it was not until Alfred The Great (871-899) that we begin to see the unification of the island emerging as one nation being England and it took until 1707 to create the United Kingdom with Scotland joining..
The future course of the United States will follow the same pattern. Pre-Revolution, you had separate states. That became the UNITED states in 1789. We will see a breakup of the states most likely banning together in regions because of the difference in cultural views such as the Bible Belt. The fight over Obamacare illustrates the stark differences and this is fundamentally wrong for it is force one groups interests upon another.
There is a danger of a MADMAX event because of the stubborn insistence upon Marxism and we have a crisis is philosophy that is even infecting Britain to this day. I may be the gadfly. Thankfully, I am not 23 and do not have to live my life under this kind of nasty government. If they want to execute me like Socrates, fine. I so share his view it is either the migration of the soul where I will see all my old friends or it will be a peaceful sleep from which I will never be disturbed again. So as he said – go ahead. Do your best. The future that lies ahead to have no desire to participate in.
