“This is an informative work with much food for thought and excellent advice in preparing for the coming financial storm. It provides concrete and uncommon ideas on how to protect yourself and your investments…. For many, this will be a disturbing book. But if it is disturbing enough to awaken Americans from their current slumber, that is precisely its value.
—Michael Nystrom , www.bullnotbull.com

“Michael Panzner fluently describes the build-up of financial risk on a number of fronts—from credit derivatives through to the government’s long-term fiscal problems—and imagines how a future crisis might develop. A breathtaking and coherent vision of financial disaster.”
—Edward Chancellor, author, Devil Take the Hindmost: A History of Financial Speculation

—David Tice, President and Fund Manager, Prudent Bear Funds

“A wonderful, entertaining, and easy-to-digest account of some very disturbing economic and financial trends….Panzner has done a great service to reveal the truth, which the over-paid Wall Street crowd and the government have conspired to hide from the ‘working man.’”

Make sure you are preparde to capture those "end of the world" images for prosterity on this sleek, easy to use flip cam,

You don't want to be carrying something bulky when trying to escape from collapsing buildings, or imperial fascist troops. Someone has to document the end of the world, why not you?

Société Générale tells clients how to prepare for potential 'global collapse'

2009-11-21T17:46:00.000-08:00

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/6599281/Societe-Generale-tells-clients-how-to-prepare-for-global-collapse.html Société Générale has advised clients to be ready for a possible "global economic collapse" over the next two years, mapping a strategy of defensive investments to avoid wealth destruction. Huh, I wonder what insider information they know? Probably a good idea for everyone to get ready some type of catastrophe, either economic, political or social.

The real cause of the financial crash

"A well-known banking analyst says greed didn't cause the problem. Our reliance on China did."

This is exactly what Peter Schiff has been saying. The U.S. does not PRODUCE anything, we just send our money overseas to buy stuff we USE to produce.

The worst is yet to come: Unemployed Americans should hunker down for more job losses

The worst is yet to come: Unemployed Americans should hunker down for more job losses

Hope you are ready. No jobs, more foreclosures, civil unrest, swine flu, out of control government spending, cuddling of terrorists. "Things aren't so good around here anymore". If I were a betting type, I would wager a government intervention that promises to save us from this catastrophe created largely by idiotic politicians. The intervention would then turn into dictatorship, for the "good of the Country". Reminds me of the Star Wars when the Chancelor (Sith Lord) promises to return power when the threat against the Republic is over. Scary foreshadowing.

Rule #2: Look good, and be dressed for any situation

2009-11-07T16:34:00.000-08:00

The most important accessory are boots that keep your socks from getting wet with rain or zombie blood, I suggest the following:
For the guys:

For the ladies:

Next, a good skull cap is a great way to say "I am serious about being a survivalist", here is my favorite:

Next, a jacket really separates the amateurs from the professional survivalists, here are my recommendations:

or

Nice work my friend, you are on your way to Survival fashion success!

Rule #1: Be ready to escape

2009-11-07T16:18:00.000-08:00

When the time comes, do have an escape plan and the proper tools to get out of your house quickly? Do you live in a two story house, if so, you will need an alternative exit when the zombies or imperial troops come banging on your door (or if there is a fire or flood too...).
I urge you to have at least one fire ladder that can easily be deployed when your second story house quickly becomes a death trap. Here are some great choices from Amazon:

You may also need to break a window to escape, this is a great tool:

If you need to get in the "ESCAPE" mood, warm up with this classic movie:

Lastly, here is a great read to get the planning process started:

Be Prepared for the Worst, opinion piece excerpt from Ron Paul (Forbes 11.16.09)

2009-11-07T12:47:00.000-08:00

"A false recovery is under way. I am reminded of the outlook in 1930, when the experts were certain that the worst of the Depression was over and that recovery was just around the corner. The economy and stock market seemed to be recovering, and there was optimism that the recession, like many of those before it, would be over in a year or less. Instead, the interventionist policies of Hoover and Roosevelt caused the Depression to worsen, and the Dow Jones industrial average did not recover to 1929 levels until 1954. I fear our stimulus and bailout programs have already done too much to prevent the economy from recovering in a natural manner and will result in yet another asset bubble."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Four years ago, I thought Ron Paul was crazy. However, everyday as our National debt increases, the Fed usurps more power, and our corrupt politicians deliberately desecrate the U.S. Constitution, and more "entitlement" programs are forced upon us, it is clear that our nation is on a path to ruin.

Nice. Welcome to Nazi Germany.

Child molesters and rapists usually serve less then 3 years, but we are going to put people in jail for not buying health insurance? Does anyone see something wrong with this? How much government control of your life do you want. Soon they will be telling you when to go to bed, what not to eat, what not to drink ... and if you disagree - off to the gulags with you!

Stock up now, it is only a matter of time....

2009-11-05T15:15:00.002-08:00

Will it happen tommorrow, in 2012 as predicted by the ancient mayans, or is it happening now? You need to be prepared. Swine flu, alien invasion (from outerspace, or maybe from the "undocumented" workers too..), political and economic upheaval, civil uprising...are you prepared you for what's ahead. Are you ready?

Survival against Darth Vader's Imperial Troops, or maybe just economic and social Armageddon!

2009-11-05T15:15:00.000-08:00

Are you prepared for the end of the world (as you know it)? You will need shelter, water, fire, and food. Do you have the knowledge of foraging for food, combat and wilderness first aid, creating impromptu tools, weapons and shelters? With the right gear and supplies you may have a chance to survive indefinitely in the wilderness or in a ravaged urban city center. Good luck, vaya con dios!
