The Greater Depression is well underway. We're looking at close to 40% unemployment within several months. There will likely be riots, and the cities will not be good places to be.

What we've seen in the stock market in the past weeks has NOT percolated down into job losses, etc. yet. That will come, just as night follows day. It might take a few months for all the consequences to work themselves out.

But when you have a mathematical, predictable certainty (Great Depression), it helps one to predict things that are based on the will of human beings (such as war, martial law, releasing man-made viruses, etc.)

Normally, I'd say "who knows when the Illuminati want to pull the plug on this world?" but now they've basically STARTED TO DO SO, in such a way that they can't change their mind. They're shrinking the money supply and drying up credit (which is like BLOOD to our economy). And once the blood loss reaches a certain point, the patient dies.

Even if "They" weren't planning on doing anything soon (fαℓѕє fℓαg attacks, disease, war, etc.), we'd have riots and food shortages just by natural means alone! But of course once we have riots, the government will clamp down on us, etc.

I predict a very dire 2009. This might be it, folks. Time to prepare. Get your Miraculous Medals, scapulars, rosaries, make a good confession, learn some Chant so you'll have something to sing in the cσncєnтrαтισn cαмρs (if it came to that), and then get food, water, guns, and move out of the cities if possible.

If you still have more than a month's worth of money in the bank, take it out now -- or kiss ALL OF IT goodbye.

During the next several weeks, if time permits, I'd recommend learning some important skills like gardening. Even if we just have a massive Great Depression you're going to need to know how to grow food if you want to eat.

I could easily see Obama (or McCain, for that matter) imposing martial law very soon. There will probably be be a false-flag nuke attack before next February.

Remember all the clues I've been posting on here the last few weeks (and months).

Believe it or not, I'm not looking forward to this. I'm about as unprepared as I've ever been. I have about 32 sq. feet of garden space right now that I just completed yesterday. I had more space than that when I lived in the city! And the 9 trees in my "orchard" are all 1 year old and not producing yet. In the city, I had 1 mature peach and 1 mature orange tree, at least.

And I'm the last one to WANT an economic collapse -- I still haven't been able to sell my old house! Like I said -- not very ready, though I'm certainly doing my best.

But the truth is the truth. I've never been much of an ostrich. I prefer the eagle's philosophy to that of the ostrich.

On the bright side, Materialism is likely to decrease.

  I can't help but laugh when "Pessimist" chimes in with an "On the bright side..."

If there is a Dem sweep with 60 Dem senators, this might all be coming faster than some think. Biden's remark that they will have to do something that is not going to make his followers happy is probably a clue that Barak will have us deeper in war after another 911 type disaster.  The fools voting for him think he will stop it all. It all reminds me of the way the Germans were duped into following Hitler.
