America’s Coming Tectonic Shift



Many of CFP's readers probably have felt what I am now feeling. Something just seems fundamentally wrong, and it's unnerving. What may be about to happen to our Republic is a complete change in what we've always thought was permanent in America. Glenn Beck calls it "The Perfect Storm" and the term is prescient. Several domestic and worldwide events could utterly change our lives forever. The events are economic, sociological, geo-political, and military. If the outcome is to be for good or ill, is up to the American people.

Economic:  America, as former US Comptroller General Walker has observed, is broke.  HALF of the American people's wealth evaporated in six months when the stock market tanked and took the American people's savings down the 401k Black Hole of Calcutta.  China is balking at propping up our deficit spending. Bernake and Geitner are running the printing presses 24-7 whilst the country is God knows how many TRILLION in debt.    This is unsustainable and will collapse the dollar as a currency.  We will have hyperinflation as Germany had in 1923. Having been sucker punched in their wallets, America is in the first stage of Grief: DENIAL.  I often hear "It CAN'T happen here ! " To say that is to ignore history.  Just because it hasn't happened in YOUR lifetime doesn't mean it can't happen.   This "Recession" will likely become a Depression as Peter Schiff of Europacific Capital and Gerald Celente have predicted.  Celente makes a great point.  In 1929 America was a nation which had a manufacturing base which no longer exists.  We now have a phony economy dependent on consumer spending, which has all but dried up.  Goods are not being bought or shipped.  the New Haven Register had a story on 26 April: "Truck Stops jammed as Drivers Spend Days Waiting for Work." A consumer driven economy must have consumers buying goods. Lots of people on CNBC laughed at Schiff & Celente two years ago.  I hear no laughter now.   Geo-Political:  America's place as the only superpower is in peril.  Obama and his entire crew of socialists do not believe in American exceptionalism.  They want the US to be just another country and knock themselves out apologizing to Third World thugs for America's alleged sins.  China is rising, and to a far lesser extent, so is Russia.  Both are enemies of Liberty who would love to have a free hand to plunder the world's resources, and need America and her Armed Forces out of their way.   China has already hacked into the North American Power Distribution Network ( the Grid ), and has allegedly planted "Malware" into the code.  If enough critical circuit breakers are tripped in certain critical "nodes", it is possible to cause massive blackouts across North America.  Why would a nation allegedly dependent on the American economy commit such an act?  Because we were always seen as the enemy and making us dependent on them worked to their long term strategic advantage.   Russia is delivering its S-300V Air Defence Missile System to Iran.  this will force Israel to either act now or accept that she may be annihilated at any time by the Messianic Shia madman Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has vowed to wipe Israel off the map. Having nowhere but hostile nations over which to orbit its air refueling tankers, the IAF may have to abandon the mission of using F-15 and F-16 aircraft for a much more dangerous plan:  The use of Jericho III Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles to knock out the Iranian nuclear facilities at Isfahan, Natnz and Arak.  This use of Ballistic Missiles, even with conventional warhead, could drag the Russian into defending her client state and ATM machine, Iran.  This would also drive the price of gasoline to six dollars a gallon, tipping the already weakened American economy off a cliff.     The "Swine" Flu.  if it comes back more virulent in the fall like the 1918 Spanish Flu did, this compounds all the other issues geometrically.  Whether it was natural or genetically engineered is still uncertain, but it has the potential to shut down travel, ration resources, and give a power drunk administration an excuse to clamp down on Civil liberties.   Military:  Obama is hell bent to do what Carter did in the mid-70s, which was to turn the US into a paper tiger.  He canceled the F-22, C-17, and FA-18 aircraft production runs.  the F-22 was especially critical.  It was the replacement for the now aging 30-year-old F-15 and F-16 airframes, which are now a generation behind the new Russian Mig and Sukoi Air Superiority platforms.  No nation can be pre-eminent without air dominance, and now we are extremely vulnerable..   From NEWSMAX:  Former FBI Agent John Vincent is concerned that Obama's turning a blind eye to Islamists threats is setting us up for another 911. "This administration is weakening every aspect of counter terrorism."  Anybody feel all warm and fuzzy about that?   Sociological:  This nation hasn't been this politically divided since 1858.  The Left wants a Communist / Fascist America with the government running virtually everything.  They already run the banking and auto industries like Mussolini and Uncle Adolph Did  The Right wants a return to Individual Liberty, and has found it's voice by openly protesting this slide to a totalitarian police state by having Tea Parties.  States like Montana, Utah and Texas are reasserting their sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment by attempting to reign in "The Commerce Clause", by which the federal government meddles in the affairs of virtually all Americans.   Conclusion:  Any one of these issues can permanently alter how America will be in the future. Bad times are likely to come.  As Yeats observed in his poem The Second Coming: "The Center Cannot Hold."  America is headed for a dramatic economic, Geo-Political and Sociological shift.   Will we weather the trial to come, and become the people that we used to be:  Proud, brave, resilient and fearless in the face of tyranny? Or roll over and submit to tyrants whether they be of the foreign or domestic variety?  The choice is ours.  I'll be at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day.    We owe a tremendous debt to all those brave souls now interred under the Gardens of Stone who paid for our liberty.  Will we now shirk our duty and cease to honor it ?      George Potts Thompson.
