    That is a fucking boring video.

    It's a glowing review of Zeitgeist.

    The guy is predicting an economic catastrophe and he knows where you should invest to take advantage of it. I've seen ads like this before. He claims to have predicted the Fannie Freddie collapse and other shit.

    If the collapse is going to be as boring as that video then I don't give a fuck.

    Ha! I thought the same thing. My interest went kaput after 5 min. or so.

    Bullet points would be appreciated.

    The government has monetized almost $3T in debt since Obama became president. This is devaluing the dollar (by 8% in exchange rates in 2010 alone). If the US dollar is no longer accepted as the world's reserve currency, we'll have to buy some other currency with our worthless dollars to buy anything we import.

    That's the gist.

    Do you wanna know what you should invest in if you think things are going down the crapper?

    Guns and ammunition. Fuck gold and canned food.

    You know it always cracks me up when people say they don't need to prepare for a disaster because they have a gun.

    Guess what? So does the guy who prepared for the disaster, and it's likely that he's better with it than you are.

    Seriously though, I'm considering a small garden in my back yard for veggies and such, and I'm still building a decent kit with food and supplies. You can actually keep your own water but you have to rotate it out after about six months or it goes bad.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Obama has brought us to this...trying to decide what is the best way to survive the collapse of the American empire into neighbor-against-neighbor anarchy and squalor.

    How did we (as a nation, I mean...I realize the Republicans on this forum warned us about this) fall so easily for the deceptive charms of this charlatan? I suppose we just wanted something for nothing, instead of working hard for greatness that we could pass along to our children and their children. And we didn't heed the best advice of our armed services.

    Gold is certainly a soft metal, but it is still a metal. I would rather not fuck it, as my cock (El Presidente: cawk) is, while occasionally still admirably hard at my advanced age, not hard enough to do a gold brick. Maybe a goldbrick though? Canned food is ok if the edge of the can is not too jagged once it is open. Peaches are a good choice.

    Some of these so called patriots seem to have very little faith in their country.

    Assuming he and I have the same resources, and he's using some of those resources to buy food and supplies, I will be better stocked in terms of ammo and training than he will be.

    Of course, I was kidding. If it comes down to me stealing other peoples' food then it's pretty much game over and I don't worry about that too much.
