The Coming Crash: Winners and Losers

by John Galt

exerpt ;

LOSER: Those who constantly beat the drum of the bubblevidiots and think they will be able to actually see one single dime of the money in the investments they have guided so many into. The unwinding of the real estate market might seem like a "non-event" to many on Wall Street but in the smoke filled back rooms, there is a terror unseen in 70 years. The realization they might lose control and the entire system unwind will punish the "traditional" buy and hold investors because they trusted their government and the banksters to do business honestly.

WINNERS: New Zealand and Chile. By avoiding the traditional alliances with the USSR, oops, Russia and the bizarre entanglements of the United States and it's failing currency, these nations are in a position to survive the upcoming economic depression on their own and with limited reliance on neighbors for legitimate trade.

LOSERS: Pretty much everyone in the Northern Hemisphere. Everyone it would appear will either be suffering from an economic depression, internal civil war, or involved in the great World War about to go super hot in the Middle East. There is not a lot of explanation needed as to why this war will go hot, you had just be aware that every nation has been mobilizing except for our own. And as usual, the cost of this lack of preparation will be American lives at home and abroad. Despite the ability of our military to "project" worldwide, it is not prepared to slug it out with the Arabs, Russia, North Korea, Iran and China at the same time. Nor are the people ready....

WINNER: The survivalist. Oh my, I used that horrible word. Look it up. See if you fall into that category. This does not just mean the guy in cammo gear who can kill a bear with a Swiss Army pocket knife and survive in the Arctic with just one match and a sleeping bag. This category includes the financial survivors, the home-farmer survivors, the independent thinker who does not have to rely on others when it all crashes. Barter becomes a luxury and economics back to the basics of salt for meat, silver for smokes and liquor for gasoline for this winner.

LOSER: The most common species on earth-the liberal sheep waiting to be sheared. This does not just mean the political "liberals" so everyone can unwad their panties now. This means everyone who holds the belief that "government can bail me out" and will do so. Those who think that the banksters would never lie to them. That believe that stock brokers would never act dishonestly with their retirements. The shearing will be most painful for you. And I hope you don't touch the wire at your new camp as it will probably be electrified.

There you have it. My summary of winners and losers. The ultimate winners, of course, are those in charge. They have no obligations, no true belief or faith that they have to answer to (at least on earth), and no desire to do anything but enjoy their imperial life of luxury. I hope everyone here is in the "other" ultimate winners category; those that have a faith filled life of self-reliance and the ability to help their friends and neighbors get on their feet to a better life as we face a period unseen in the history of the United States and Western civilization.
