Reasons Why: America Is Imploding

Whether we look at the deteriorating employment situation in America, the rip-offs being staged by both our central government and multinational corporations, or at the culturally suicidal policies of government and corporations, we find reasons for foreseeing an implosion on American soil sometime during the Obama era. An unsustainable system which gives priority to money and spending, and which compels the accrual of debt on all levels, is beginning to disintegrate and will probably not do so peacefully indefinitely. There may be several flashpoints; one will doubtless involve Americans who are fed up with corporations interested only in cheap labor, who are firing American workers and then bringing in foreigners on visas who will work for a fraction of the wages Americans demand. Another likely flashpoint will involve just the under-the-table, pay-them-in-cash hiring of illegal aliens (I witnessed a protest by Americans outside a construction site just the other day down in Anderson).

Useful reading from one of my favorite columnists, Paul Craig Roberts:

OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF SPECIAL INTERESTS

The Bush/Obama bailout/stimulus plans are not going to work. Both are schemes hatched by a clique of financial insiders.

The schemes will redistribute income and wealth from American taxpayers to the shyster banksters, who have destroyed American jobs, ruined the retirement plans of tens of millions of Americans, and worsened the situation of millions of people worldwide who naively trusted American financial institutions. The ongoing theft has simply been recast. Instead of using fraudulent financial instruments, the banksters are using government policy.

Michael Hudson captures the nature of the heist in CounterPunch (February 12): “When it comes to cleaning up the Greenspan Bubble legacy by writing down homeowner mortgage debt, the Treasury proposal offers homeowners $50 billion -- just [half of one percent] of the $10 trillion Wall Street bailout to date, and less than half the amount given to AIG to pay its hedge fund speculators on their derivative gambles. The Treasury has handed out $25 billion to each and every big bank, so just two of these banks alone got as much as the reported one-quarter of all homeowners in America suffering from Negative Equity on their homes and in need of mortgage renegotiation. Yet today’s economic shrinkage cannot be reversed without a recovery in consumer demand. The economy has lost the ‘virtual wealth’ in higher-priced homes and the stock market, and must rely on after-tax earnings. But I see little concern for wage earners in the Treasury plan. Without debt relief, consumer spending and business investment will not recover.”

IS THIS PRESIDENT NUTS OR WHAT: NATIONAL SUICIDE IMMINENT

Last year, George Bush by executive order started the importation of 1,000 Sunni and Shia Muslims into the USA every month. Consequently, we imported 12,000 Iraqi refugees. Those same refugees have fought and killed one another in Iraq for the last 1,000 years. That same executive order jumped those import numbers to 19,000 refugees in 2009.

In the past week, President Barack Obama signed another $20.3 million bill to import Palestinians from war-torn Palestine. It might be appreciated that Muslims loathe Jews as a cultural paradigm.

What can go wrong when we allow hundreds of thousands of people who have been, as Mark Steyn said, "marinated" in a "sick death cult," who voted for Hamas, and 55 percent of whom support suicide bombings live here and at the American taxpayers' expense."

Obama signed the "presidential determination" which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States on January 27, 2009 and appeared in the Federal Register on February 4, 2009.

Capitol Hill gave zero attention to an order that provides a free ticket supplements with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.

Already, we import 100,000 legal immigrants every 30 days. We tolerate 100,000 illegal criminal aliens every 30 days into America whereby we pay $346 billion annually (Source; Edwin Rubenstein, National Research Center thesocialcontract.com) for their transport, housing, food, spending money, transportation, medical and educational costs.

But to import violently angry Shia and Sunni refugees along with Hamas suicide bombers from Gaza illustrates how totally bizarre and out of touch Obama proves in his actions—along with a somnolent Congress.

We will not survive the coming ethnic conflict in our country. We will fall and crack into more pieces than Humpty Dumpty. The coming race riots will make Rodney King and Watts look like first grade garden parties.

Author and computer engineer Dmitry Orlov, finally, has become one of our foremost students of the science of economic collapse. Go here for Orlov's February 13 talk before the San Francisco-based Long Now Foundation, delivered in typically Russian black humor. Orlov believes that not all is lost if Americans are prepared; unfortunately, few Americans are likely to take any of this seriously, and so will not be prepared when the implosion occurs.
