Honestly, all the discussions about the coming tide of woe...yet I have heard no one talk about how to prepare or prevent.
Is there anything we can do to prevent the looming disaster heading our way? I don't see any political party providing a true statesman to lead us away from this mess.
Sometimes I just feel like all hope is lost... I know that isn't true but I still feel that way.
I know information and communication is key to preparing... if thats all we have then I suppose we should be grateful.
Maybe someone else has the answers. I am like you I've only prepared and can sit back and watch it unfold. I do wish someone had a brilliant plan.

In hard times like this, people get more spiritual, because it is the only way out. All alleys in this world tend to be occupied by thugs.

Sorry to inform you, but Texas is financial sound and operates on a surplus budget!
The Federal Reserve (Dallas) is a department of the Federal Government and is not apart of the Texas economic system!
The Texas Constitution (1876) was written and adopted because the Governor at the time put the state in deep dept...causing its current tight restrictions, never to operate in debt

“Either a prolonged, agonizing depression that dooms the world to decades of stagnation, decline and poverty ... or an intense-but-shorter depression that paves the way for a new sustainable economic world order, with less sovereignty but more efficiency.”
Other items on the agenda included a plan to “continue to deceive millions of savers and investors who believe the hype about the supposed up-turn in the economy.
They are about to be set up for massive losses and searing financial pain in the months ahead,” and “There will be a final push for the enactment of Lisbon Treaty, pending on Irish voting YES on the treaty in Sept or October,”[1] which would give the European Union massive powers over its member nations, essentially making it a supranational regional government, with each country relegated to more of a provincial status.
Bilderberg founding member David Rockefeller, Honourary Chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, Honourary Chairman and Founder of the Trilateral Commission, Chairman of the Council of the Americas and the Americas Society, former Chairman and CEO of Chase Manhattan.
The Bilderberg agenda of creating a global treasury has already been started prior to the Bilderberg meeting, with decisions made during the G20 financial summit in April. Although the G20 seemed to frame it more in context of being formed into a global central bank, although it is likely the IMF could fill both roles.

Ok I had a really nasty thought today.
Suppose the US gets drawn into a drawn out war with say North Korea while fighting Iraq and Afg, add in saving Pakistan and maybe an issue with Iran. Then they ask US citizens to hand in ammo for the war effort or restrict additional ammo and ammo making supplies in the patriotic duty of helping our troops.
It's hard to say no when they tell you the option is the death of our service men and women isn't it?

I read another thread on here somewhere about facebook questionnaires that asked suspitious questions and assumed it was a way to find out about personal family things. Like do you own a gun, who did you vote for, do you store food, etc.
Not many would fill those out but I worry teenagers may unknowingly rat their families out by answering these personal questions.

So, if texas is in the black and operating on a surplus, why is their healthcare and other pension funds more than 99 trillion "unaccounted" for?
Dallas Federal Reserve: Unfunded Pension and Health-Care Liabilities Exceeds $99 Trillion Dollars
You've heard some big numbers thrown around.
For example, total U.S. government liabilities are at least $65 trillion dollars.
