The likelihood of a complete, global economic collapse is quite high at the time of this posting, and such a probability increases with each passing week. Most grounded economists and social commentators are speculating as to when, not if the total meltdown of the world’s economic system might occur.
While there are myriad issues and factors to consider, I believe the broad picture can be viewed from two primary perspectives:
- Economic collapse engineered and then exploited by the elite banking, corporate, and political class.
- Economic collapse that, whether or not engineered by specific parties, spirals out of control and genuinely implodes both government and private sectors.
Economic Collapse Engineered And Then Exploited By An Elite Class
This scenario engages the belief that a ruling elite class within the banking, corporate, political, and even royal circles has conspired to destroy the current financial system in an effort to eliminate the middle class citizen and create a modern feudal system. A great body of evidence (covered in other articles) supports this possibility. As the world economy is guided or allowed to spiral into its demise, these elites will expand their own wealth exponentially by acquiring the wealth and assets of the people.
In the wake of an engineered collapse, we can expect to see a “solution” offered by the very parties responsible for the meltdown. One example is a global governance and currency system; with nations of the world bankrupt and all currencies crashed, a one-world government with a central bank could be presented as the ultimate solution to global chaos and destitution.
On a smaller scale we might see the emergence of a North American Union that introduces new government and monetary structure to America, Canada, and Mexico. If the European Union is allowed to continue, i.e. if the Euro survives the implosion, we could see a NAU arise as a stepping stone toward a one-world system.
World government could be a positive structure with the right leadership. Sadly the elite class reference here is interested only in power and control, not humanitarian programs and collective prosperity.
If indeed the present financial mess is the product of planning, and the impending collapse is ideal to the planners, we will likely see martial rule just prior to or immediately following the total meltdown of the monetary system. An iron-fisted police state will be installed virtually overnight, complete with citizen armies and detention centers, probably in the guise of quelling civil unrest and protecting infrastructure from looters and insurgents.
Things may be ugly indeed for a time. Possibly the plan is to allow chaos, hunger, and maximum suffering for a time, thus casting the final solution of a one-world police state as a favorable upgrade to even the most ardent protesters of global governance.
I’ll talk more about some of the specific possibilities pertaining to this scenario in future articles. For now, the only positive thing I can note is this:
No program of tyranny will stand the test of time, as the innate need for freedom is too powerful to be snuffed out of the human genome. Hence a global dictatorship will simply lay the foundation and infrastructure for a global utopia after the next great revolution, which will take place on a worldwide stage rather than within the borders of a single nation.
Even the successful installation of world tyranny will therefore move humanity toward an ideal destiny. For in time, perhaps a few years, when the people rise up and overthrow such tyranny, all the cutting-edge structures and processes for cohesive worldwide commerce, management, communications, and industry will be in place. With he despots removed from power it will be a simple matter of constructing a legitimate government and getting on with the business of colonizing the solar system.
Real Economic Collapse Encompassing The Public And Ruling Class
This scenario engages the possibility of a true economic and social meltdown, wherein even the banking and political conspiracies of the world are unable to maintain control. While very frightening for a number of obvious reasons like lawlessness, hunger, and the disintegration of modern infrastructure, this kind of total implosion is also very promising.
The current economic and political system is a farce that benefits only a tiny fraction of the earth’s population while deliberately depriving and thwarting the vast majority of people. If the banking cartels, corporate empires, royal families, and political gangs of the world were to fall from their pedestals tomorrow our species would begin the long overdue process of renewal.
I take no pleasure in the notion of people starving to death. Nor do I revel in the idea of regular shootouts with brigands and bandits.
But the period of pandemonium would pass as the population diminishes. When the smoke clears we’ll have a real opportunity to rebuild our world without the absurdities and affronts that today pass as laws and commerce.
I’ll discuss a number of specific issues related to this sort of collapse in future articles. There are literally dozens, probably hundreds, of possibilities to be addressed and personally I find the subject exhilarating.
Of course I’m afraid of either scenario; who isn’t? In either case I see a brighter future beyond the storm, but without a doubt I’d prefer a true collapse without the global elite riding to the rescue with a pre-planned solution.
Russian professor Igor Panarin predicted years ago the United States would collapse economically and socially in the year 2010. The finer points of his analysis are stunningly accurate given the events of recent years, and it’s noteworthy that he correctly predicted the year of the former Soviet Union’s dissolution.
In Panarin’s forecast the U.S. will divide into six parts with each region falling under the influence or governance of another nation. China would control California and the west coast. Mexico would regain Texas plus the southwest and southeast. Canada would either seize or influence the midwest, and Europe would integrate the northeast and upper portion of the southeast. Russia would govern Alaska, and Hawaii would be under Japanese control. While this sounds outlandish to some, once you understand the political, cultural, and trade nuances for each aforementioned part of the country the professor’s outlook is entirely logical.
It seems probable at this time that many other nations will implode along with America, which fuels my concern that all this is being pulled from the conspiratorial playbook of the elite. Even if this is the case, there’s always hope that events will fall beyond the scope of the blueprint, and that somehow these social architects will lose control of their experiment before the end.
Clearly I could have expanded this article into a 20-page report and still had a tremendous amount of ground uncovered. There’s so much room for speculation, and frankly there’s no way short of time travel to be sure of our collective future from this juncture.
I hope you enjoyed this commentary, and I urge you to chime in below with your insights and predictions.
