Apocalypse Soon

For us ordinary mortals, this issue matters little, we just go about our daily lives and leave such matters to Governments. OK, what else can we do ? But it does affect the destiny of us all.

This out of control astronomic financial disaster, which is growing every second of each day, is predicted by the worlds financial experts to result in a world monetary collapse in the very near future. If and when that happens, civilisation as we know it today will be devastated.

It is not funny money, it is very real indeed.

Happy Mothers' Day to you too.......

My own finances are wonderful as well, no money worries whatsoever, but in case you missed the point, the problem of which I speak is a very serious national and world problem which affects your destiny as well as mine..

I am afraid that both our financial comforts will disappear like a puff of smoke if a world monetary collapse occurs and that is beyond our control.

I do wonder how real these figures are or if there's a lot of double, treble or greater counting going on.

As mere sceptical individuals we all do that, but in actual fact the figures are very real indeed.

IF the experts are correct and this escalation of debt goes on regardless, then eventually the monetary system will collapse and our money will become worthless. People will lose everything.

An example is the German hyperinflation of the 1920`s, where a loaf of bread cost 200,000 million Marks in November 1923. A dozen eggs cost 4 Billion Marks. Money became worthless. I hope that sounds real, because it is fact.

Fine link Hugh, but it alters nothing, just substantiates the imminent doom we all have in front of us.

but this imminent doom only seems to be bothering you, cheer up it may never happen .

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle
- that's the thing.
And...always look on the bright
side of life...
(Whistle)

Come on.

Always look on the right side
of life...

Sorry, where is the recent war with reparations to the winning side needing to be paid for, which was the basis for the whole debacle....

Now look papa smurf, if you think you are not involved, then you are living in Cloud Cuckoo Land - we are all involved, it is a world issue that we all ignore. If world leaders are worried about it, then surely we should show an interest.

It is not Wittmann`s fault, I am not setting myself up as an Aunt Sally in a coconut shy, I am simply posting an issue that should be of interest to all of us.

To infer that it is only me that is concerned about the rocketing national debt of countries, is an unbelievable attitude to adopt.

'Big Oil' will never let it happen, because who would they sell the oil to and what would be the point of their friends in the arms industry if there was nobody worth fighting with to get control of more oil. Now when the oil runs out all bets will be off...

Cheers
