What happens when your country collapses to such an extent that it can no longer pay its debts, your banking system is bankrupt and the populace loses confidence in its government’s ability to mitigate the crisis?

The events taking place in Greece provide some insight and are a harbinger of things to come in America.

It was a seemingly normal Sunday — except it was anything but normal.

For many people in Athens, it was time to prepare for an approaching storm. A short walk from Plaka, a line of people waited to withdraw cash from an A.T.M., hours before the official announcement that banks would be closed starting on Monday. Some bank machines in central Athens had run out of money or were out of service, as screens blamed “technical difficulties.”

Elsewhere, some people had started hoarding gasoline and groceries. “We don’t know what the new day will bring,” said Katerina Vorreadi, who was among a group of retirees waiting in line outside the National Bank of Greece on Saturday night.

Uncertainty breeds panic and if there’s anything that will get people lining up at local venues that provide essential services like money exchange and foodstuffs, it’s the fear of not being able to acquire those items when they’re needed most.

And while some will argue that America is an advanced economy and Greece is not even on the same playing field, the fact is that as a country we are much worse off. In a country where nearly 100 million people are dependent on monthly government benefits just to survive, even a short-term financial shock could lead to widespread panic.

But how likely is such an event?

Well, according to Representative Brad Sherman, during the height of the 2008 crisis Congress was told that if taxpayer funds weren’t used to bail out the system to the tune of trillions of dollars that we would literally have tanks patrolling the streets of America.

Many of us were told in private conversations that if we voted against this bill on Monday, that the sky would fall, the market would drop two or three thousands points the first day, another couple thousand the second day, and a few members were even told that there would be martial law in America if we voted no.

It was a testament to just how bad things were and how much worse they could have gotten. But more importantly, it shows just how close to the brink of total collapse our nation was… and still remains.

Just this week the Bank of International Settlements – essentially the central bank for the world’s central banks – said that governments and banks will be unable to fight the next financial crisis because they used up their ammunition fighting the last one.

Keep in mind that these are the people that essentially control the monetary policy of the entire world. And they just said that once the next set of dominoes starts tipping over they aren’t going to be able to stop it.

So the reality of the situation is that not only is this contagion soon to reach America, there will be no stopping it when it does.

In his latest article Michael Snyder of End of the American Dream warns that Americans are woefully unprepared for such a scenario.

While over 70% of people fear an economic crisis is coming, only about 3% of Americans have actually taken steps to prepare for it.

Should America be faced with the same situation as Greece, we can fully expect similar results here.

People will rush ATM’s in the hopes of getting cash, but like Greece, they’ll be met with restrictions allowing them to withdraw just $75 a day.

They’ll make their way to grocery stores hoping to buy a food supply for a week or two while things settle down, but they’ll be met with long lines and empty shelves, much like we’ve seen during previous emergencies.

And, just as we saw in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, within 72 hours of a destabilization of our systems of commerce people will be facing starvation and supply shortages.

Tess Pennington, author of The Prepper’s Blueprint, explains the four stages of a breakdown and notes that by day three, things get very dangerous:

Multiple factors contribute to societal breakdowns including failure of adequate government response, population density, citizens taking advantage of the grid being down and overwhelmed emergency response teams.

3-5 days following a disaster is the bewitching hour. During this short amount of time, the population slowly becomes a powder keg full of angry, desperate citizens. A good example is the chaos that ensued in New Orleans following the absence of action from the local government or a timely effective federal response in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. In such troubled times, people were forced to fend for themselves and their families, by any means necessary. This timeline of Hurricane Katrina effectively illustrates “the breakdown,” and within three days, the citizens of New Orleans descended into anarchy, looting and murder (Source).

If this scenario isn’t bad enough, at the end of this time frame, there will be an increase in illnesses due to cramped living quarters from emergency shelters, sanitation-related illness,compromised water sourcesandexposure to natural elements. In the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake, sanitation- related epidemics became a large concern for the disaster victims. In fact, the outbreak erupted into the world’s largest cholera epidemic despite a huge international mobilization still dealing with the effects of the Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake.

We can pretend like everything is peachy and that happy times are back again. But even a precursory look at what’s happening around the world suggests that the global economy is derailing. Greece has essentially collapsed (for the fourth time in a decade) and China’s stock markets are in the midst of detonating.

The situation remains fluid, but dire, because if China and Europe go, guess who’s next?

Americans aren’t ready for it. As Michael Snyder notes in his aforementioned article, most people don’t have any emergency cash, or even a three day supply of food on hand in case something happens.

Now, consider what happens when banks shut their doors for a week like they have done in Greece. Next, imagine a scenario where confidence in the U.S. dollar is lost and foreign creditors pull out.

The result is an intense, almost immediate collapse of the system as we have come to know it. When the debt bubble bursts, notes analyst Greg Mannarino, millions of people could die:

Millions upon millions of people are going to die on a world-wide scale when the debt bubble bursts. And I’m saying when not if…

…

When resources become more and more scarce we’re going to see countries at war with each other. People will be scrambling… in a worst case scenario… doing everything that they can to survive… to provide for their family and for themselves.

We could be wrong, of course. But what if we’re not?

I believe there is a plan for destroying America, that it exists on paper, and that thousands of people are involved in executing it. Many are doing it knowingly, some are being used as pawns, and others are being bribed for their silence. It’s based on greed, built on power, and fueled with hate. And it’s the biggest damn conspiracy in the history of the world.

Watching events unfold in America and around the globe since 2008, it is undeniable that this blueprint for destruction was readied to hit the ground running as soon as Obamatook office. It’s dependent upon disruptive ideologies, social science, and metrics. It’s Saul Alinsky on steroids.

Yes there were many factors in place prior to Obama taking office – systemic brainwashing in academia, United Nations tentacles reaching into small-town America etc. But the election of 2008 was D-Day for the progressive’s plan of fundamentally transforming America. With the executive branch in their control, they could begin using the highest powers in the land to change the face of America. With the Department of Justice, the State Department, the FBI, CIA and the Supreme Court at their disposal, they had carte blanche to commence the attack. There was just one more thing they needed: tech savvy.

By 2011, the president was meeting with America’s wealthiest internet entrepreneurs, supposedly under the guise of a “technology summit” aimed at creating new jobs. Reporters were banned from the event, but a White House photo showed the group “toasting the future.” It remains one of the most chilling photo’s I’ve ever seen: a tyrant building a coalition of power in order to make use of the technology least understood by the average American.

One might wonder what kind of fruit this meeting bore. We didn’t have to wait long find out.

Most people don’t remember Carol Davidson, the head of integration and media targeting for Obama’s 2012 campaign. She appeared in a Fox News Special titled, “Your Secret’s Out” – a program that only touched the tip of the iceberg in explaining how Obama’s campaign used multiple analysts to target and analyze Americans on an unprecedented scale. The goal of this huge data mining operation (a.k.a. “big data“) was to figure out people’s likes, dislikes, television and social media habits, cultural and religious values, propensity for activism …basically what makes them tick. Once they figured that out, they could predict what kind of bait to use to attract them. Once lured, they were categorized into a group; said group could be manipulated into voting a certain way. Basically it was the largest spy ring ever established, and it’s still operating under one guise or another today.

What is Carol Davidson doing now? This past March she gave a lecture titled, “Disruptive Technologies for Social Impact.” So what is “disruptive technology?” (Bear with me.) The simplest explanation is to say that the laptop was a disruptive technology to the typewriter. One could argue that that wasn’t disruption, but innovation. Not so fast. Forbes Magazine had this to say:

“Innovation and disruption are similar in that they are both makers and builders. Disruption takes a left turn by literally uprooting and changing how we think, behave, do business, learn and go about our day-to-day. Harvard Business School professor and disruption guru Clayton Christensen says that a disruption displaces an existing market, industry, or technology and produces something new and more efficient and worthwhile. It is at once destructive and creative.”

(Forbes describes Christensen as the Harvard grad who introduced the term “disruptive innovation” to explain that “cheaper, simpler or unexpected products and services canbring down big companies like U.S. Steel, Xerox and Digital Equipment.”)

What if you wanted to employ the same tactics to bring down…say…a country? Do you see where we’re going with this? The same concept is being used today in liberal social engineering. Social engineering encompasses influencing popular attitudes and social behavior on a mass scale. The liberal’s aptly named “progressive” attitude is aimed at disrupting established societal norms and replacing them with something “more efficient and worthwhile”; destructive yet creative. It’s called “disruptive ideology” and it’s out to destroy Christianity, morality, the economy, and the Constitution. It’s out to destroy order and create chaos.

Then, like a corporate board meeting, they analyze their metrics to measure their success after every situation they exploit. They learn from their mistakes and tweak their strategies for the next event.

With a Marxist-loving, community organizing lackey at the helm, liberals were able to execute their plans on many fronts simultaneously. Internationally, they perpetuated chaos and fomented revolution resulting in the Arab Spring. It was no coincidence that nearly every Middle Eastern country descended into chaos after Obama took office.

A case can be made that Obama’s ignorance and lack of experience in international affairs has led to global chaos; but since his goals and worldview differ so radically from traditional Americans, that case is nearly irrelevant. One need not know how to keep a car running if one’s intention is to drive it off the cliff.

On the domestic front, a series of plans were already in place for multi-pronged attacks on American culture. Anything not in the original plan fell into the category of “disruptive opportunity” as they took advantage of unanticipated events to further their agenda. Some of the larger goals have been obvious:

• Silencing the opposition (Lois Lerner/Holly Paz) which effected an election.

• Promoting abortion

• Focusing on disarming the American people (In 2013, Atlantic writer Philip Bumpstated that “(the Obama) administration has seen more killings on a per-month basis than any of the four proceeding.” Strange isn’t it?)

• Destruction of traditional marriage

• Weakening of our military

• Promoting Islam

• Attempting to destroy the cultural history of the American South (most likely a “disruptive opportunity”)

• Flooding the country with illegal immigrants: Rapists, murderers, drug dealers and disease — with a side order of stealing American jobs.

• Instigating racially motivated riots in Ferguson, Baltimore, and numerous other protests across the country.

The list goes on and on — from Obamacare to Obamatrade. They’re all filed under “O” — for Oppressor.

Bill O’Reilly stressed, on numerous occasions, that he doesn’t “think (Obama is) trying to injure people. The hard right thinks he’s a Communist and wants to destroy the Republic. That’s what they think. I don’t think he wants to injure people.”

O’Reilly and every other talking head that spewed the same insane naivety are dead wrong. I don’t doubt for one minute that this administration doesn’t have multiple task forces established to attack every aspect of traditional American culture. (It’s time to send someone to break into the Watergate building again and get the dirty Democrats master plan.)

Of course, Obama is not working alone. He’s a minion of the maelstrom — working for the global community, the United Nations, Islamists, Communists, and America-haters everywhere. They are working together using unpaid academic advisers, a consortium of behavioral scientists (COBS), the mainstream media, and the internet, to brainwash and manipulate the American people. (They are the psychiatrists; we are the inmates at the asylum.)

What we can’t understand is why the planned destruction of America wasn’t apparent to those inside the beltway who had the power to take drastic measures to stop it. Yes filibuster. Yes shut down the government. Yes impeach. Do whatever you have to do, but stop it. Only a handful did anything. The others were pocketing kickbacks, exchanging votes, and taking bribes. We’ll probably never know the grotesque extent of the corruption.

And why wasn’t anyone worth their weight in salt able to anticipate the administrations next move and develop a plan to counteract it? While the Obama administration is busy planning how to exploit the next crisis, opponents are busy trying to analyze the last one-two punch.

It’s time to rewrite Saul Alinsky’s dedication in his book, Rules for Radicals. (You can read the original here if you don’t have it memorized after six years.):

“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the greatest radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical who truly employed disruptive ideology, who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Obama.”

It took us a little while, but we the people have been able to anticipate the administration’s next move better than our elected officials; probably because we have a passionate vested interest in our own demise.

So what’s the next big event? Islamic terror on the Fourth of July with Obama urging everyone not to blame a few misguided youths? Obama threatening to bomb Israel if war breaks out and she tries to defend herself?

One thing is certain, it’s time to start naming the names of everyone that aided and abetted in the destruction of the country thus far. If we ever recuperate enough to hold something akin to the Nuremberg trials, they will need to be held accountable. If not, they are destined for judgment in front of that Christian God they hate so much. Won’t they be surprised?
