The Coming Collapse of the United State
Friday, February 18, 2011 at 2:37PM I received a lot of feedback about my interesting day in the land of the free yesterday. Most were to tell me of similar horror stories they had witnessed. But, some people suggested I must be exaggerating - or even made up the story completely.
To that, I offer some photo evidence.
A number of my colleagues from the conference witnessed me being taken down last night for having walked outside of a bar with my drink for a few moments and one took a picture which she sent to me today.;)

Interestingly, just after this, I walked into a gas station to ask someone for directions (trying to find a place I could go where I was not banned for 30 days). The girl working at the store looked upset and was running around and trying to call someone on her mobile phone. I asked her what was going on. She said she had just gotten robbed.
I asked her if she was ok and if there was anything I could do and she told me, "No, it's okay, this happens all the time."
I asked her what she meant. A few times per year?
"No, almost every night," she replied, almost embarrassed.
We are witnessing a collapse of the system. Due to trillions of dollars worth of wealth being destroyed by the booms and busts caused by the Federal Reserve system and untold trillions more destroyed and siphoned off by the US Government to banks and corporate interests there are millions of very desperate people in the US now. And it's only going to get worse once the next leg of economic collapse occurs, likely later this year.
Take for example this video of an older gentleman robbing a gas station.
Get ready for a wave of very polite, awkward robberies as people who lived their entire lives thinking that the government was protecting them find out, one by one, that they have been robbed blind for decades and will be desperate to do anything to get food on their tables for themselves and their families.
Of course, perhaps some of these robberies could be attended to by the police but when you have three squad cars tied up for an hour dealing with a man who walked outside of a bar with a drink it it can be tough to handle.
As for me, I rarely spend any time anymore in the United State and every time I return it is clearer and clearer how quickly the entire system is collapsing. It's like when you have a child, you don't really notice them growing but when friends who only visit once or twice a year see your child they are shocked at the growth.
Those who live inside the US may think that things aren't getting that much worse because they live within the system and it happens so incrementally that you may not notice the change. But for someone who only visits once or twice per year it is very obvious just how quickly things are declining.
The scary part is, this is all just beginning. As the US Government is forced to default on its debt(taking the Social Security ponzi scheme and most pensions with it) and/or when the Federal Reserve launches QE3 and QE4 and destroys the US dollar things will look a lot more like how the town square in Cairo looked over the last few weeks.
I will be visiting Salta, Argentina, in March to get a first hand view of an amazing-looking expat community being built by one of my favorite free-market thinkers, Doug Casey, and will be reporting back to our subscribers on that. As always we will keep our eyes open for the best places in the world to expatriate, at least for a few years, while this ongoing collapse of the western governments and financial systems continue.
From all I've seen on my latest visit to the US I continue to urge anyone living in Europe or the US to move as quickly as possible to try to expatriate your assets and even yourself before the noose tightens.
I'll be looking forward to one last grope or radiation bath from the US Government on my way out of Phoenix this weekend as I return, very happily, back to the freest country in North America, Mexico. At least there when you get stopped by the police you just give them 100 Pesos ($8) and have a good smile and a laugh. And when you leave a bar with your drink in Mexico the only thing you are bound to be confronted with is by some pretty young girl asking you if you'd like a plastic cup with some ice for the road!

I'm sorry you had to go through that, consider them zombies. People need a psychological tool denoting zombie behaviors to make them aware of the dangers around them. These guys that did this to you are programmed zombies, inhuman with virtually no real human conscience. They're looking for people to join them like the borg did on Star Trek Next Generation. Go watch the 1960's version of Night of the Living Dead to see how we should be defending ourselves from these mindless programmed goons.
They hijack people using fear and intimidation and take over your spirit if you're a weak person. I have a recent zombie article up on my blog from a couple days ago. I'll place the blog URL in this post if you'd like to read it. It was a channeled article, one of the few that just came out of nowhere one morning.
HI Cheryl, thank you for your comment... and please post the URL of your blog. As for your comment, that is an excellent way of describing it. None of the police officers looked me in the eye the entire time! They all seemed like they were on something... perhaps prozac or something like that... and definitiely some of them were on steroids. It's interesting, isn't it, that the people who are supposedly going after others for using drugs are often times themselves on a number of different legal and illegal drugs themselves!
Hi Jeff: Thanks for your thoughtful response to my comment. The zombie URL for "Zombies Among Us" is http://cherylkicksass.blogspot.com/2011/02/zombies-among-us.html
Just a note a few comments on that sweet robber video claims the guy's done it several times before and his line is a con about having to feed a family. We still have food stamps in America and someone as intelligent as himself, it is very strange he can't feed his family. Things aren't quite that bad yet.
The police are a band of thugs out for themselves who cover for one another unless someone does something really dumb. I've written several articles of my experiences over the years with crooked cops.
By the way, Dateline NBC showed that story about Colonel Russell Williams and there's a video of the show up on the MSNBC site that was the cover story much of the day. Here it is if you want to watch it:

the word viral is new, like thermidor was new. this is it boys n girls.,
How does one leave the United States when we are in debt, bankrupt and have no savings? We have 2 small children to think about too.
I'd live in Mexico or Argentina in a heartbeat.
