The U.S. Dollar is Dying



If you still believe that the dollar is strong and the United States is set up to be a world superpower forever, these videos are a must-see.

In them, analyst Max Keiser investigates the ill health and possible demise of the dollar. Since 2003, the dollar has lost more than one-third of its value compared to other major world currencies. Now, the U.S. dollar is in critical condition and is losing ground fast.

How did things go so horribly wrong, so quickly? It involves an excess supply of dollars, consumer over-spending, increasing trade deficits and national debt, offshoring and a country (the United States) with FALLING standards of living for its people -- and it’s all explained in the videos above.

Okay.  All I can say to that is No S#$% Sherlock!  So what can I do about it?  I am trying to support Ron Paul and get the word out, but no way is big business going to let him succeed.  I pray we pull it off and get him in the white house but even that would only be the start of the struggle.  I realize that I must try everything in my power to get off the consumer band wagon.. via alternative energy, education, food sources etc.  For years I have been preaching much of what this website/community is all about.  Most people just don't think.  They say, "but if we don't attack them the terrorists will come here" and "everybody should get health care" and "the rich should pay more taxes" and "weed should be legal but I don't know about other drugs" and on and on and on.  I find it amazing that this community is all about Freedom and Liberty for the individual at the same time at the forefront of health and well being.  I can't believe it took me this long to find you guys.  I can't help but think that the average A$#hole doesn't deserve us and we should all bail to Argentina or Australia where they are free, natural resources are vast and gov't is much less domineering and just start over.  Would we be happier?  What the hell is keeping us here?  I am getting sick and tired of John Q American telling me I am a radical and a conspiracy theorist just because I use my brain and I don't want some one else telling me how to live my life.  I am starting to seriously contemplate this issue.

Good observations and questions, Jeff.  Have you read "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand?  It describes starting over with only those who contribute something meaningful, and leaving the do-nothings to fend for themselves.  I believe the biggest weakness of our original government was its vulnerability to sabotage by the do-nothings.  The book was somewhat prophetic in terms of the growth of the problem (written in 1940s, I believe).  The jury is still out on the solution.  Personally, I don't think Australia is any more free than the U.S.  I base that largely on what they've done with firearms.  Also, I think it is virtually impossible to outrun problems.  You have to kill them where they stand, or they will follow you.

Jeff, I have to say I'm in agreement with you.  I was just on the phone with a good pal of mine talking about the same thing - how wonderful it would be to be a part of the Amish community, or one like it.  No hassles - just living life the way God intended.  It's funny - until today I thought I was nuts for having these thoughts - nice to know I'm not alone!

Have I read Atlas Shrugged?  My wife and I are naming our soon to be born daughter after Ayn.  I can't wait to read Fountain Head and Atlas shrugged to her in the crib.  Funny how the brilliant minds in this country predicted this nonsensical society decades ago.  1984 comes to mind as well.
I guess from what I read Australia is out of the question.  Argentina here we come.  thanks for understanding everyone... that means everything to me.   My one and only new year's resolution is to stop wasting my breath on people that just don't get it.  I am sure that will be easier said than done, but I am so sick of people who want the system to be everything to everybody but they think some one else will pay for it.

The US is being actively dismantled by the same elements that created it.

Notice how the world's 10 DVD zones comply with Agenda 21.

Where is this headed? Amalgamation into three major trading zones (announced in banker-sponsored "The Communist Manifesto" in the 1840's and described in "1984").

Hi Mika, this past year the farmers around Rimbey, Alberta rallied to stop those huge power lines from going across their property.  The more they looked into it, the more information they found regarding the detrimental effects of the power lines to both themselves and their livestock.  The EUB (energy and utilities board) had hired private investigators to pose as landowners to listen in on what the farmers were saying.  The EUB got caught, heads rolled, and two big wigs retired early.  Is that western justice or what?

Great rant and thanks for asking the question because I would love to answer it, fully and accurately.  Since a picture is worth a thousand words and a motion picture is worth a thousand pictures, I present:

Ron Paul: A Republic If We Can Keep It

(please watch for your answer to why we stay in USA and fight)

Live free or die.  Liberty or death, please, thank you.

New to Natural, my husband and I are moving to Kentucky in a couple of months from Florida. (We really, really hate it here by the way, so we don't suggest moving here) My family has been in Florida for almost 200 years, and in America since the late 1500's. We are America. My husband and I are going to buy one of the old Amish farms out in the country up in KY and start growing our own within the next year or two (hopefully in time for Codex) and we're starting a type of small community with my sister and her daughter and some of her friends. We're pooling our resources and getting about 10-15 acres. I say to you go and do it! If you want to be part of a small, rural 'commune' then start one! We are and we're only poor, working-class 20-somethings with a couple of children. Dreaming isn't just for the young, though. Anyone can dream and if you want a new Amish community, then you just have to make one. We ALL have to make one.

If you would look at the big picture, you will understand what is happening world-wide. The 'Elite' group called the 'Bilderberg group' are running the show. They are not doing it in a way that would be obvious, they have been working behind the scenes for decades to establish a one-world government.

Go to www.freedomforceinternational.org  and find out how people like us who want to change things, not in a hostile way, but the same way the Bilderbergs have been doing it, can be pro-active rather than just complainers.

A Green Party Australia honcho told me over a few beers a few years ago, about how the euro was going to become the new standard.  He was spot on.

Hey Energy, you ought to try Australia without the guns! I can walk the streets any time, day or night, and I'm safe!  I've lived half my life in Melbourne, and half in San Diego, and let me tell you, I'd rather walk thru Broadmeadows than Nestor!  Wyatt Earp's dead, mate.  We gave up racism in the early 70's, you ought to grow up and ditch the guns!

As for Ayn Rand, beware absolutes.  She was a very special hypocrite!  Did she REALLY believe in freedom?  Find out how pissed she got whenever a Commie was shown smiling!  She wanted that edited out!  

Byrnesy, guarantee your daughter will rebel against you with your authoritarian ideals!

But hey, we're all Americans, and I love your point of view. Smack heads with the extremists, and we'll chill in the compromised compassionate center/centre.

Hi,just to let you know, you are not alone in your thinking.  I am in Canada and say the same things to people, and they just think I'm crazy.  So I've stopped talking.  It's nice to know other I'm not alone in my thinking.

Dr, Mercola may not be an economics expert, but he obviously promotes healthy independent thinking.   I think most of us interested in taking charge of our health are open minded and seeking truth.  True, economics is a world in inself, but if we don't start realizing the state our country is in, economically and otherwise, our health issues as a country and individually will worsen quickly.

Did you know that Ron Paul is the only presidential candidate who wants the government out of your health options?  As a strict constitutionalist, he has fought for our rights in health and every other area. Throughout 10 terms as Congressman, "Dr. No" (named by his colleagues because he won't vote for anything unconstitutional) he has never been swayed by corporate interests, which is unheard of in politics.  We have never had anyone of this integrity run for president before.  

I appreciate Dr. Mercola sharing the alarming truth about our economy, going downhill for many years and about to go bankrupt.  As free thinkers, we should question the myths fed to us by mainstream media.  And I know I'm way off subject here, but the subject of the day is...

If we don't wake up, and go vote for Ron Paul in our state primary, our country does not have
