Two respected, capable bank managers have committed suicide. One jumped off the top floor of JP Morgan's London headquarters and the other hung himself at home.
So, two successful (?) bankers do the Dutch Act, there's draconian warnings about a global fiscal collapse, banks are restricting withdrawals and then Matt Drudge gives a cryptic warning to have "an exit plan." What's going on? And where's all the paranoid, protesting liberal hippies? Seems they only showed up for Nixon, Reagan and the Bushes.

There are others going down. It's not just London, or American bankers. With HSBC, if backing down, but now Russian bankers limiting withdrawals... With QE XIV, or whatever, winding down (not, if I guess, by want), with Chinese banks in serious trouble, a default that will cascade several factors over the visible half a billion dollar tag along with liquidity problems and some other things... And that's just part of what I have seen myself.
Most likely, I say probably, they will figure this out. And kick the can a little further. A bit of cash at home, check supplies, start looking at gold, silver, guns and ammo, but food first, though don't forget water stores and ways to clean water. Those people that went out and bought guns but no food are going to be, or end up arming, the problems.
Well, I would add praying in there, first and last, actually... And in-between. I pray through action as I load my magazines. Hey, I'm THAT kind of guy. Not bitter, but a clinger for certain. :)
I'm actually thinking silver will drop by half, that's when I will get in whole hog. The markets are looking for anything safe, the big hogs are looking for another bubble (gold and silver, but it looks like that is failing, and I had guessed it would). Hold off on gold and silver until the bubble makers figure out it won't work. You'll know, they'll be all but giving it away on television when they realize most of the paper gold and silver is fraudulent, worse than even bank notes. Urhm. *cough* Sorry about that. Just had to... put that out. I am just guessing here, but...
Thus, another warning sounded.
Some might think it better to jump than be thrown.
Not really worried about water where I live - got oodles and oodles of lakes, rivers, you name it. Food, started that too. Ammo, way ahead of the game.
Okay. Just know you don't drink straight river or lake water. You have to run it through some sort of filter or boil it, all of it. But... sounds like a plan.
The thing that gets me about water is... carting it. I have had to do that and it is no fun. I guarantee bathing will be on the decline. Hmm... I wonder what the shelf-life of perfume and cologne is? Or even how to make that... A fine business in a new world. I suppose, with population reductions, and law gone, the hard part would be the whale harvesting. :p
The story is just getting started. Exactly what I thought when I read about the peter pan guy.
