2If an economic collapse occurs, it would happen quickly. No one would predict it. The surprise factor is, itself, one of the causes of a collapse. The signs of imminent failure are difficult for most people to see.But here are Top five signs to look for , signaling that an economic collapse is about to happen.
The collapse of the Western financial system will wipe out the standard of living of its population while ending ponzi schemes such as the stock exchange and the pension funds. The population will be hit so badly by a full array of bubbles and ponzi schemes that the migration engine will start to work in reverse accelerating itself due to ripple effects thus leading to the demise of the States.
This unseen situation for the States will develop itself in a cascade pattern with unprecedented and devastating effects for the economy. Jobs offshoring will surely end with many American Corporations relocating overseas thus becoming foreign Corporations!!!!
We see a significant part of the American population migrating to Latin America and Asia while migration to Europe – suffering a similar illness – won’t be relevant. Nevertheless the death toll will be horrible. Take into account that the Soviet Union’s population was poorer than the Americans nowadays or even then. The ex-Soviets suffered during the following struggle in the 1990s with a significant death toll and the loss of national pride.
Might we say “Twice the pride, double the fall”? Nope. The American standard of living is one of the highest, far more than double of the Soviets while having added a services economy that will be gone along with the financial system. When pensioners see their retirement disappear in front of their eyes and there are no servicing jobs you can imagine what is going to happen next.
At least younger people can migrate. Never in human history were so many elders among the population. In past centuries people were lucky to get to their 30s or 40s. The American downfall is set to be far worse than the Soviet Union’s one. A confluence of crisis with a devastating result…
They are:
Sign number one : Growing government debt: when an economy slows, the government usually steps in to help stimulate spending again, but with a high debt, the government might not be able to make that injection.
Sign number two : The Stock markets trading at all-time highs . investors are taking more risk on the market, markets continue to trade higher meaning investments are bull-market driven and not research-based which could lead to a stock market bubble.
Sign number Three : The Unemployment rate , eligible worker, retirement, and student rates all identify trends in people not contributing to the economy and could slow down economic growth.
Sign number four : Unstable government: this boils down to the leader and government team in the decisions and actions that may affect the economy in various ways .
Sign number Five : Rising national debt . this means less consumer spending in the economy and more money spent on paying debt.
Although those five economic collapse red flags are present in any collapse, there are also other things we can do to be ahead of a financial collapse disaster. And that is to look at what the warning signs displayed by the people involved in it all, America’s elite Wall Street executives and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.
So What Would Happen in an Economic Collapse ?. Well , If the economy collapses, you would lose access to credit. Banks would close. Demand would outstrip supply of food, gas, and other necessities. If the collapse affected local governments and utilities, then water and electricity would no longer be available. As people panic, they would revert to survival and self-defense modes.
The economy would return to a traditional economy, where those who grow food barter for other services. A U.S. economic collapse would create global panic. Demand for the dollar and U.S. Treasurys would plummet. Interest rates would skyrocket. Investors would rush to other currencies, such as the yuan, euro, or even gold. It would create not just inflation, but hyperinflation, as the dollar became dirt cheap.
The following are predictions of economic disaster in 2023 from top experts all over the globe…
#1 Bill Fleckenstein: “They are trying to make the stock market go up and drag the economy along with it. It’s not going to work. There’s going to be a big accident. When people realize that it’s all a charade, the dollar will tank, the stock market will tank, and hopefully bond markets will tank. Gold will rally in that period of time because it’s done what it’s done because people have assumed complete infallibility on the part of the central bankers.”
#2 John Ficenec: “In the US, Professor Robert Shiller’s cyclically adjusted price earnings ratio – or Shiller CAPE – for the S&P 500 is currently at 27.2, some 64pc above the historic average of 16.6. On only three occasions since 1882 has it been higher – in 1929, 2000 and 2007.”
#3 Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, one of the most respected economic journalists on the entire planet: “The eurozone will be in deflation by February, forlornly trying to ignite its damp wood by rubbing stones. Real interest rates will ratchet higher. The debt load will continue to rise at a faster pace than nominal GDP across Club Med. The region will sink deeper into a compound interest trap.”
#4 The Jerome Levy Forecasting Center, which correctly predicted the bursting of the subprime mortgage bubble in 2007: “Clearly the direction of most of the recent global economic news suggests movement toward a 2023 downturn.”
#5 Paul Craig Roberts: “At any time the Western house of cards could collapse. It (the financial system) is a house of cards. There are no economic fundamentals that support stock prices — the Dow Jones. There are no economic fundamentals that support the strong dollar…”
#6 David Tice: “I have the same kind of feel in ’21 and ’22; also ’05 and ’06. This is going to end badly. I have every confidence in the world.”
#7 Liz Capo McCormick and Susanne Walker: “Get ready for a disastrous year for U.S. government bonds. That’s the message forecasters on Wall Street are sending.”
#8 Phoenix Capital Research: “Just about everything will be hit as well. Most of the ‘recovery’ of the last five years has been fueled by cheap borrowed Dollars. Now that the US Dollar has broken out of a multi-year range, you’re going to see more and more ‘risk assets’ (read: projects or investments fueled by borrowed Dollars) blow up. Oil is just the beginning, not a standalone story.
If things really pick up steam, there’s over $9 TRILLION worth of potential explosions waiting in the wings. Imagine if the entire economies of both Germany and Japan exploded and you’ve got a decent idea of the size of the potential impact on the financial system.”
#9 Rob Kirby: “What this breakdown in the crude oil price is going to spawn another financial crisis. It will be tied to the junk debt that has been issued to finance the shale oil plays in North America. It is reported to be in the area of half a trillion dollars worth of junk debt that is held largely on the books of large financial institutions in the western world. When these bonds start to fail, they will jeopardize the future of these financial institutions. I do believe that will be the signal for the Fed to come riding to the rescue with QE4. I also think QE4 is likely going to be accompanied by bank bail-ins because we all know all western world countries have adopted bail-in legislation in their most recent budgets. The financial elites are engineering the excuse for their next round of money printing . . . and they will be confiscating money out of savings accounts and pension accounts. That’s what I think is coming in the very near future.”
#10 John Ing: “The 2008 collapse was just a dress rehearsal compared to what the world is going to face this time around. This time we have governments which are even more highly leveraged than the private sector was.
So this time the collapse will be on a scale that is many magnitudes greater than what the world witnessed in 2008.”
#11 Gerald Celente: “What does the word confidence mean? Break it down. In this case confidence = con men and con game. That’s all it is. So people will lose confidence in the con men because they have already shown their cards. It’s a Ponzi scheme. So the con game is running out and they don’t have any more cards to play.
What are they going to do? They can’t raise interest rates. We saw what happened in the beginning of December when the equity markets started to unravel. So it will be a loss of confidence in the con game and the con game is soon coming to an end. That is when you are going to see panic on Wall Street and around the world.”

This Corona virus provides a fine excuse for a collapsing economy that originated when Reagan pulled the checks and balances from the corporations so they could relocate offshore and subvert the American wage base. These checks and balances had been put in back in 1944 because a government panel had researched the reasons why the Great Depression occurred, spent millions of dollars to do so, then came to the conclusion that corporate subversion of the American wage base was what caused the 1929 collapse. They subverted the wage base by offshoring, in-sourcing raw products and processed products, and in-sourcing foreign labor, primarily from Eastern Europe through NY harbor, and Mexico through the South West. So what was Reagan doing removing those laws, and lying to the American people that the jobs would be replaced? Get ready for the coming American Holocaust. Read all about it in the two books; “Reflections On The Loss Of The Freeborn American Nation,” and “Stairway To Heaven,” from Amazon.
USA should shutdown 8 Rivers as they are corrupt. I am John Bolton the Greatest
No doubt it is happening right now!
There is still time to use what money you have left to secure a plot of ground seeds and hand tools for gardening so your family can eat next year! In the meantime secure enough storable food to last the winter and a littlee longer till you can harvest your first crop of grains. Wheat barley or upland rice or all three !sturdy Hand tools are best forget power tools but make certain you have a water source if a well get a well bucket and line that reaches to the bottom !Plan to share if you don’t some group will take your tools seed and water !Perhaps the best animal is the sheep who’s wool “will felt” so you can make clothing and foot ware, All wool dosen’t felt, so plan ahead !Sheep also make lots of fat for candles and more !No other animal is so valuable !
I have just finished readI guess Starikov’s 3.19.15 “Russian Insider” piece for making the USA guilty for the projected economic collapse of the world? While I don’t believe the USA is responsible for the growth of ISIL, I do believe as allies the USA and Russia could have prevented the historic and economic destruction caused by ISIL?
Five years ago Mr. Starikov intimated the USA is the cause of all wars and financial problems in the world because
the States need to dictate to the world as a whole it’s economic ideas, to cure the USA’s financial woes by causing war, which abolishes debts giving a clean slate.
Apparently Mr. S hasn’t noticed that since recorded time, before North America was ever conceived as existing there was war and the winner dictates the terms, let’s mention the Crimea as an example?
I have read continuously that there will be market crashes throughout the world because the US uses money w/o backing which may be true, it’s also true that China, Russia, and Chile to name a few, have currencies backed by gold and can cause the US financial collapse taking away the US ability to be ‘master of world economies.’
What is never mentioned is the Fed. Reserve, a privately owned bank which sucks the actual financial resources out of the USA. When FDR, in 1933 needed to reorganize the States financial system he took it off the gold standard, directly and indirectly causing the financial problems now created. All money needs value making the States the most vulnerable. How will this play out, if the States financial market goes, so does the Western and some Asian countries, Russia alone can’t damage the US alone, will China, who owns so much of America from Tesla to Burger King, to real estate in the USA’s “rust belt” states pull the plug, or will President Trump in his second term be able to salvage much of the United States economy?
I want Mr. Starikov’s projections to be wrong…
