The whole global economy is going down, and it's not happening because of poor decisions, it is being done intentionally. Look at what has happened, we have the EU (European Union), the AU (African Union), the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) is systematically dismantling the middle east as we speak to put into power the governments they want. Next will be the AU (Asian Union), and finally the NAU (North American Union). Not sure where that leaves the south america and australia, but soon they will be forced to join somewhere. Last year the United States had to come up with 2 trillion to keep from going bankrupt, and how did they do it? They printed more money which drives down the value of the dollar even more. Inflation is running rampant in the US and it will continue to devalue the dollar until it is useless. This is not a coincidence, it is a plan of a few that hold all the money to drive the middle class to poverty and unite the planet under one government. All money is now pretty much fake. Only the large corporations that pull the strings of the government actually have any real capital. All other businesses including state and federal governments all work on credit now. Businesses borrow money to buy product, sell said product, pay their costs, then borrow more money for more product. It's a vicious cycle that is meant to give all the wealth (which means power) to very few people at the top around the world. You think it's bad now, give it a couple years and you will see what I'm saying if you don't already. The new health care bill that they passed in the US has provisions for creating and electronic medical database in which your records are stored on a class II medical device as defined by the FDA (Food & Drug Administration). Now the FDA defines a class II medical device as an implantable device (RFID Chip). The bill states that within 6 months of the activation of the program in 2013 that all medical records are to be stored this way. And with the new healthcare bill they are going to drive private insurance companies out of business so if you don't conform to their implantation of the electronic device then you will be cutoff from the system and will get no insurance or any other type of assistance from the government. So of course that is going to open up the path for all kinds of other regulations that you must meet to get insurance which is the plan, if they get you to accept that this is best for you and we are going to take care of you, all you have to do is give up your rights. It's all coming down, and anything short of an armed revolution will be useless. Like the OCCUPY movement and Anonymous, I respect what they are trying to do, but in the end, governments aren't afraid of them. Hell the FBI just declared the OCCUPY people to be a domestic terrorist group. And with the passing of NDAA ( National Defense Authorization Act) they now have the right to detain people indefinitely, not just in the US, but world wide. Obama was even quoted as saying "I know some of you wish I could just bypass congress, well now I can", bye bye democracy, bye bye freedom, we are being turned into slaves for the system and most people don't even know it's happening to them. Well I could go on all night, but I will end my little rant here.
