On the surface, things seem pretty quiet in mid-July 2016. The biggest news stories are about the speculation surrounding Donald Trump’s choice of running mate, the stock market in the U.S. keeps setting new all-time record highs, and the media seems completely obsessed with Taylor Swift’s love life. But underneath the surface, it is a very different story. As you will see below, the conditions for a “perfect storm” are coming together very rapidly, and the rest of 2016 promises to be much more chaotic than what we have seen so far.
Let’s start with China. On Tuesday, an international tribunal in the Hague ruled against China’s territorial claims in the South China Sea. The Chinese government announced ahead of time that they do not recognize the jurisdiction of the tribunal, and they have absolutely no intention of abiding by the ruling.

As Natural News editor Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, said many years ago, the way to dramatically lower healthcare costs in America and reduce obesity-related healthcare issues is through better nutrition. Too many health providers, however, still don’t teach and preach the concept, however.
And yet, there is a growing body of evidence that better nutrition is the key to eliminating, or at least dramatically reducing, the incidence of today’s most ravaging diseases, including cancer. Indeed, another just-released study found that changing over to a better, more wholesome diet of natural foods with fewer calories can help fight many cancers.
As reported by the UK’s Daily Mail, a low-calorie diet while receiving traditional cancer treatment – chemotherapy – is being credited with shrinking tumors twice as much as chemotherapy alone, according to scientists.

People often ask where my ideas and where my knowledge comes from. When that happens, I chuckle a bit to myself because just like the person asking, my knowledge comes from a variety of sources: first hand experience, books, online forums and of course, Backdoor Survival readers. So you see, it is not that I am smarter or more clever than everyone else but rather that I have taken my passion for preparedness and made it an active part of my life.
That leads me to the topic for today’s article. Following my own article on Five Minute Prepping Projects, I asked readers to submit their own tips – namely something that we all can do to prep that takes 10 minutes or less. There were some really good suggestions and so I thought I would share some of them here so that everyone can learn from them.

Even before the Obama Administration introduced the new myRA program last year, there were whispers that the U.S. government would “assume some risk” for U.S. retirement accounts.
That makes for a nice sound bite, but it’s really code for forcing American savers to buy government bonds.
Here’s how it works. There’s no minimum balance to open a myRA account. And the accounts don’t incur fees.
However, your myRA can only invest in U.S. Treasuries, which probably won’t even come close to keeping up with the real rate of inflation. In other words, what myRAs really offer is “return-free risk.”

The Forgotten Depression is a narrative history of the depression of 1920–21. Although it is informed by a very definite theory—the Austrian business cycle theory—it is not a standard work in applied economics. It does not first present the theory in a rigorous formulation and then move on to apply the theory by adducing pertinent qualitative facts and statistical data to explain a complex historical event such as a depression. It instead proceeds by way of anecdotes and contemporary media accounts liberally seasoned with telling quotations from politicians, policy makers, economists, business leaders, and other contemporary observers of the unfolding depression. Data on money, prices, and production are inserted at crucial points to keep the reader abreast of the economy’s precipitous decline, but they do not dominate and weigh down the story. James Grant, a masterful stylist, effectively weaves these disparate elements into a seamless and compelling narrative that never flags in pace or wanders off track. The book should appeal to a wide variety of readers, from college students and business professionals to academic economists and policy makers.

Summer vacation is here, and the whole global family has arrived at Central-Bank Wonderland, the upside-down, inside-out world that banksters and their puppet politicians call “recovery.” Everyone is talking about it as wizened traders puzzle over how stocks and bonds soared, hand-in-hand, in face of the following list of economic thrills:
Britain voted to exit the EU, and a handful of other nations are talking openly along similar lines. One major crack in the European Union just happened, and others are forming. (Brexit is the name of this new Earthquake ride near the gates of Wonderland.)
Italy’s oldest bank (also the world’s oldest bank, Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena) faces bankruptcy unless it gets bailed out. The bank that has survived the greatest tests of time (founded in 1472 before Columbus sailed the ocean blue) is going down unless it finds a savior! Italy’s prime minister is screaming for tax-payer bailouts. At the same time, one of Germany’s oldest banks and one of the largest — Deutsche Bank — has just about become a penny stock and faces the likelihood of imminent collapse if not bailed out, too. (Welcome to Wonderland’s zombie freak show of the world’s oldest walking-dead banks dying again.)

For those who wonder why, as the editor of Natural News, I carry a loaded weapon with me at all times, consider how often whistleblowers who threaten to expose government conspiracy crimes end up dead. In just the last few days, a water treatment plant foreman who could have testified against the corrupt government of Michigan was found dead in his home. On the exact same day, Sasha Avonna Bell, who spearheaded a lawsuit against the government over the lead poisoning of the Flint water supply, was found murdered.

In effect, helicopter money turns the entire economy into a Ghost City.
The possibility that Japan might launch helicopter money stimulus sent global stock markets soaring in a paroxysm of pleasurable anticipation. But exactly what is helicopter money and what connection does it have to stock valuations, if any?
Broadly speaking, helicopter money is government deficit spending that is directed to households rather than the financial sector. Deficit means the government doesn’t have extra cash to pay for the stimulus program–it borrows it by selling government bonds.
With interest rates near-zero or even negative, it doesn’t cost governments much to borrow huge sums from future taxpayers. All bonds are borrowed from future taxpayers, because somebody will have to pay back the principal, even if there are no interest payments due.
Typically, bonds that mature (i.e. the principal must be returned to the owner of the bond) are replaced with newly issued bonds. In other words, government debt never declines, as new debt is issued to replace bonds that come due AND to fund additional spending.

Earlier in the week, I was criticized in some circles for having having the intestinal fortitude to call Facebook a terrorist organization. I received the same criticism when I also labeled Black Lives Matter as a terrorist organization.
I stand by these statements and the in the past few days my allegations that both Facebook and BLM are terrorist organizations have been validated. I will deal with the allegations of terrorism towards the BLM in a later article soon to be published.
Facebook Sued for Actively Supporting Terrorism
Before I unveil the allegations of Facebook providing material support for terrorists, please allow me to establish a pattern that Facebook has established with regard to routinely promoting terroristic objectives and activities on their site. Here is the kind of terroristic filth that permeates Facebook on a daily basis:

A recent comment here on Modern Survival Blog reads as follows:
“We are going to be on our own. Your community will be your country and you better prepare now. Normalcy Bias will get you and yours killed. Know who the good guys and the bad guys are in your neighborhood/town. Network with trustworthy friends, neighbors, and family members. When the economic correction happens, and the Pollyanna’s, clueless fools, and snitches are running around in tight little circles emitting high-pitched squeaking noises, you want to be as far away from these losers as you can.”
I’ve heard this notion stated in more ways than one, and let me tell you… it’s true.
After the onslaught of social chaos crosses over the thin veneer of civil society, the ensuing breakdown and collapse of our infrastructure, just-in-time systems of distribution, and law & order, will result in the shrinking of your world…

Unfortunately, when considering in the short run, the answer is most likely “NO”. For those of us in the US, most “needs” based products are imported, so payment will be left to the only thing we have left for payment, fiat paper. Which of course is held at our friendly Wall Street shyster bank. And as mentioned many many times here @ ‘roguemoney.net’ since the importers of our needs based goods are also holding our debt, which is becoming worthless, we will have to suffer some form of currency devaluations to satisfy our trade needs. Needs, we will soon be forced to pay up for, since fiat King Dollar toilet paper is the only thing most will have to meet their obligations at the World’s import trade windows.
Banks survive by the public’s need for them, and sadly we need them. INITIALLY, that is!
