US debt will soon reach 39T. They are adding 200B just for this one phase of the war (Iraq added 1T in a few years only, and money back then was much more valuable). Right now, ALL federal income taxes goes to pay the interest on that debt.
Many people see oil hitting $150, $175, $200. This will increase the cost of everything. Let's not even talk about increased fertilizer cost, helium etc.
This would not be so bad, perhaps, if the economy wasn't running on fumes already. Look at the most recent "job creations." Look at the 0.7% "real" GDP growth. Look at what AI is doing; it looks like it could pop any minute. OpenAI (Chatgpt) is supposed to go public and wants to be valued at 1.5T. Yes, one trillion and a half, and openAI charges $20 a month for its premium plan while the real cost is in the hundreds.
NVDA, ORCL, MSFT, META et al. all depend on AI keeping an insane growth trajectory. This trajectory has been financed - partly - by the money printing. For instance, ChatGPT just announced it made a deal with the Pentagon for military and mass surveillance purpose.
Add in everything else - ICE and its camps (people are on edge), Europe self-destructing through immigration, huge debt loads, salaries stagnating, huge job losses (Oracle, meta, etc) and this feels like it's ready to explode.
Canada just announced massive cuts to its services because the deficit is too high. Services here are already trash so at some point, people will figure out their 46% in taxes doesn't really go anywhere. Let's not even talk of the umitigated disaster of mass immigration; we pay immigrants families $320 a day for instance for housing/food/etc. I don't even have $100 a day to live myself, and yet I have to pay for this.
Add in AI job losses that are coming, low wages, extreme inflation, loss of quality of life and you got the perfect recipe for an economic collapse. I mean it was going to collapse anyway, you can't really print 3-4T a year (the amount they admit to) and expect it to last forever. It's not normal that a house that was $200k a few years ago is now $850k. It's not normal that our dollar store doesn't carry dollar products AT ALL anymore, even chocolate bars are $1.25. It's not normal that unemployment just jumped (in Canada), that as a teacher (with a master), I need another job to survive, etc.
All this to say, I think the Iran BS might expose the whole scam. I think there won't be enough to buy $2500 iPhones and $45,000 entry level cars. With Trump deploying even more troops, the US is most likely stuck in this for years. How high will oil go? 10,000 marines are not going to control anything, and even if they do, for how long?
I think oil will rise and stocks will crash. With stocks falling, a LOT of pension plans, who promised way more than they had, will be in trouble. Social security for instance, but also our canadian plan, assumes they'll get 10-15% returns per year, forever. What if they get a -20% year? What if they get a -15% and a -20% year? What then?
What if young people refuse to contribute to it anymore? They'll start businesses, move, work under the table, or just work less. Prefer to enjoy life than feed the machine. I'm a teacher and I'm literally about to quit and check out of society, what happens when people are happy in houses just growing a garden, raising dogs, and living in small community? Who is going to pay their insane tax for DEI and "muh indigenous reparations"? What if people just say "no thank you, I don't want to pay $30 for a burger and fries. No, I won't pay $75 for a steak, or $50 to get a mcdonalds meal by ubereats"?
To be clear, I don't think this iran thing is going to have a massive impact on the economy of the world, but I think it might be the needle that pushes everything over the edge. People refusing to repay their loans, or just giving up on paying super high taxes (look at New York, for instance). People choosing health, and taking care of themselves, rather than finance a system that obliterates them.
Gas is at $8.00 a gallon in Quebec today. I remember I used to think $3 was too much, do you really think I could or want a car today? At this price?
I think oil will keep going up. Iran is going to keep fighting, destroy more oilfields, and eventually bring oil to $200. And then what? I think people just say outloud: "Trump got us into that. Fuck it, I'm done."
Trump will try to bail his way out by printing more and more money, but eventually, interest rates will go up. And so will inflation. Add in crashing stocks, and people will be left with very few options.
I genuinely believe this is another 2007/2008. I sold all my stocks a few weeks ago. It sucks, because I'll be stuck with a huge tax bill for this year, but I do not want to hold through another crisis; it nearly killed me last time.
Thank you for listening
I hear what you're saying, but folks are always convinced that collapse is right around the corner. I wouldn't be surprised if this gets drawn out a lot longer. Rome didn't fall in a day. People will continue taking out credit cards, they'll sign up for 50-year house loans, they'll say "yes" to more and more subscriptions until they own nothing at all. This is a slow, multi-generational demolition, and we haven't seen anything yet.
Let's say I'm right and oil hits $200. Gas gets to $10 a gallon or something. Already people are living paychecks to paychecks. Most of my friends cannot find work in their field (VFX, programming, maths, biology). I know people with Ph.D.s thatt can't jobs in their fields, and not PhD in garbage fields neither.
At some point, when is enough, enough?
So long as debt and credit flow, food flows.
People are four missed meals away from anarchy. They're fucking up our circuses, but they do make sure our bread keeps arriving, because they know this basic truth.
People won't revolt until they're starving. Venuzeula didn't even revolt when their leader, feasting on TV, said, mouth full of food, that the peasantry need to get used to eating their pets. Because that was food that still existed for them. Only once all their pets were eaten, did they rise up.
That's the point. This is what they want you to feel. It's why I'm suspicious of anyone who posts forum drivel like this. Blackpill fuel.
They can't actually import slaves fast enough to recreate Rome.
The boomers will be dead soon. History shows the dam often breaks when this happens. I wouldn't be so convinced we're headed in a negative direction. There's just going to be a shitload of chaos in the next transition.
You’re right to be concerned, big things are about to happen, and it’s all intentional…..what people need to realize is that jews are pushing us into “the great reset” and their 4th Industrial Revolution, they’re bolshevizing the entire world all at once, and this Iran situation probably has a lot to do with triggering the transformation.
"Judaism is a plan for a world with no countries, only one border, one that separates Jews from gentiles. Judaism's plan is a bi-level world (the communist template), with God's chosen people living in paradise where no one has to work, and with the gentiles inexorably trapped in a lower world which is a hell on Earth, where we exist as slaves, cattle for the Jews. The Jews' plan to create this bi-level world is described in explicit detail in the Zohar, one of the "holiest" (it's pure evil of course) books of Judaism. This plan is exposed to the world in 'Jewish History, Jewish Religion' by Mr. Israel Shahak. So never let ANYONE tell you Judaism is not a problem, it is THE problem, and if it is not reckoned and neutralized, there is no future for humanity." ~Trevor Labonte
None of this shit is happening by accident, it’s all carefully engineered and meticulously planned ahead of time, then the plans are executed through the jews Young Global Leaders and their secret society shabbos goy to implement the policy that’ll bring jew world order into existence. I know a lot of people think that sounds crazy, but trust me, the subversion our own government is chocked full of is not unique, it’s the same group subverting governments everywhere. There may be a couple nations left who have used religion and collective identity to insulate themselves sufficiently enough to remain semi-independent from the Jewish hydra, and that could be a part of why this Iranian conflict is happening.
Yeah, pretty much. They've bled russia, they're gonna bleed usa, God knows if they'll bleed some other country after that or the world will collapse sooner. Tucker had some chinese professor on recently who pretty eloquently described most likely scenario: wars, famine and jew dominance. I watched one of his lectures and whilst i felt he was pretty on point with his analogy of judaism, when he went with the "greeks were gigagay" psyop i noped out.
One thing's for sure: we're fucked.
This is pretty much how I feel right now getting on the cattle wagon every morning, to go give away my paycheck to scammers and thieves.
Great comment. Liked the quote by Labonte
Judaism isn't the problem. The problem is jewish genetics. Jews are the problem. Judaism is a product of jewish genetics. All jews must be exterminated from Earth for humanity to improve.
Best case it'll collapse the Western welfare states that only exist to extract money from citizens to import 3rd world refuse.
Worst case, governments have realized that huge inflation is the golden ticket for them and they want to keep it going. Governments are the primary beneficiaries of inflation because it devalues their massive debts and increases tax revenue. Thus, literally everything they do is against the interest of citizens.
If I have $100,000 in savings, holding fiat jew bucks, then what should i do with it to hedge against the inflation so that it does not lose value?
If you are truly worried then use some funds to secure your access to food and water at a minimum. As in start a garden, looks at ways to collect water and clean it for use if you can’t get a well. Keep easy to consume water on hand.
If you produce a lot of your own food, you care a lot less about food prices. Learn to preserve your food.
This is what I’m doing. I wish I started earlier, but as the saying goes: the best time to plant a fruit tree is a decade ago, but the next best time is now.
Stupid thought: consider solar panels and some electric transportation. Electric cars are out of my price range as a luxury, but if gas is $10+/gal, electric cars can make sense...if there's a way to charge them.
If gas surges, so will electricity.
Buy hard assets that cannot be inflated away. If you want serious advice on how to buy gold/silver (I’m assuming you understand how to buy things like bullets, heirloom seeds, and land) DM me and I can give advice.
I get fair deals buying gold and silver but I pay small premium over spot.
What no one ever teaches is how to SELL gold and silver coins and bullion without being at the mercy of a coin shop. How can like minded citizens form their own bullion/coin exchange cutting out middle man? I think I am going to attend more coin shows just to network with people.
If oil really hits 200$ a barrel
we're going to see some serious shit...
I think its a given...
If you're right, we should all be filling up extra cans now and making investments in oil companies and maybe buying stock in electric vehicles.
How can i prepare for $200 a barrel crude oil? How can i turn it into an opportunity?
On a personal level, if you have anything- mower, generator, motorcycle- that runs on gas and doesn't get run a lot, store ethanol-free gas with fuel stabilizer in it. Because I can bet you good money that the FedGov is gonna try cutting gas with more and more corn squeezings to keep this from becoming too painful.
Get a job for an oil company
I'm also in Quebec. I've been unable to find another job as a programmer after getting laid off in 2024. I've pretty much given up and I'm living on savings.
Things just keep getting worse. AI is destroying the brains of the people I know. Everything just keeps increasing in price. African and muslim immigrants are half of every major cities and don't seem to be working either. They certainly flood the employment help places I visit.
I keep wondering when the system will collapse. We're in obvious decline, but it's hard to tell when the "suddenly" part of the country's bankruptcy will begin.
And the worst part is that none of my relatives seem to care. They just go with flow and curse at Trump at every opportunity. As if he's to blame for the root of our problems.
At least the Brits are moving to the right quickly. Here, I expect the provincial conservative party to still get zero seats in the next election, despite being led by a soft spoken gay man. Everyone is happy to drink on a sinking ship.
I didn't realize that the Quebec Conservative leader was a fag like the "Nazi" leader of the Afd in Germany.
It's all so tiresome.
The head of quebec conservative is a homosexual. That should tell you everything you know. On the radio, he boasted about still taking a shower with his mother. He's got issues.
How do people "check out" as you say? Its not as if they can stop working, they don't own land anywhere, and they don't have family that does. They would have to take out those 50 year home loans and keeping working like dogs.
His that process eventually grinds to a halt, I do not know.
I was browsing job listings last night and the only industries recruiting other than mining are government funded like health, education and 'not for profits'. Insanely depressing.
Have you looked for jobs outside of your area that would require moving?
I live in a boring but affordable small coastal town. In 2025 house prices increased by 25% on top of the already insane increases driven by immigration numbers and people fleeing the cities. I was looking at more remote towns, sussing out whether I can find a job in the same places I can now afford to buy... I cannot. Like, I already knew that but I got to see the job listings match the job creation statistics for myself.
The current system is completely untenable and will fail.
The people currently in power want to remain in power and gain even more power through this failure. The whole "Great Reset" is specifically about this controlled demolition.
They are deathly afraid of people organizing and bringing them to justice - which they fully deserve - considering they caused the system to fail in the first place.
Iran is required to start the reset and blame it on someone else.
Everyone should be either trying to find a safe place (debatable if this even exists) to wait things out or start organizing with the goal of bringing accountability to all of our pedo satanic corrupt thieving leadership. You'll probably end up in jail or dead because who the fuck knows anything about actually organizing a 1776 style revolution. But without it there is no one facing responsibility for the failure of our system. And without this justice, the great reset will work and we will be enserfed for centuries. Serfdom 2.0 will suck ass.
lol, don’t bother. You know as well as I do that no one will ever fight back.
Yeah, well, that's why I'm going more with option one. And I'm a coward.
Too much attivan, prozac, zoloft, baraclufin/whatever
Xenoestrogens in the water supply, lack of cholesterol, etc.
You mean... The Great Reset?
Already happened in 1914-1918.
The Greater Reset?
The Great Rollback hopefully.
Unless you're retired or retiring very soon, trying to time the market is really stupid.
It's always stupid, because it isn't possible.
I think that ZOG-USA agreeing to invade Iran for jews actually buys ZOG-USA a few more years.
Basically they were bent over a barrel by the bankers, did what bankers asked, and now buy ZOG-USA a few more years before jews have greater success in the next phase of a ScamDemic or other manufactured crisis.
Eventually jews will rug-pull the currency. But in the meantime jews still need us as their "enforcement arm" for world domination. As soon as jews automate the military (less need for ground troops) then they will gradually discard of us and initiate further destruction of "edom" or "magog" or whatever the fuck the death cult zealot rabbis call America today.
It is very difficult to find a safe haven for your wealth. Land ownership is very risky, especially if you are taking out a loan for it. Also i've recently learned about Adverse possession. And i saw video of cops coming on a man's private property and basically shooting him to death, without a warrant, because he had chased off some trespassers on his land. So basically no private property rights and cops can come on your land and shoot you to death for trying to remove trespassers off your own land. And demanding police come back with a warrant doesn't work. They just escalate and reach for firearms if you dont lick their boots.
Inflation is projected to be over 5% this year which means holding cash it loses value while you hold it. The stock market probably will end the year down this year so you can't make money in normie stocks. Gold and silver prices are heavily manipulated by rigged COMEX exchange and ETFs and futures contracts and other fiat mechanisms to manipulate the market price for gold or silver. Bitcoin might be a digital fiat scam for all we know. Crypto is basically just casino gambling. How do you save money or get ahead?
I did buy a few oil stocks in December and January but kept most of my positions in gold and silver in physical and miners and i got crushed last week with over 10% unrealized losses in one week.
I can sustain some increased cost in gasoline since i own my truck and have extra parts and it is very low insurance and low tax on my truck. So fuel is basically my only cost outside $100 a month insurance. I've been combining trips since the Biden high gas prices in 2022 and 2023. I also accelerate slow and avoid times of heavy traffic to save on fuel and avoid stress, stop and go traffic, excessive red lights, etc.
I think that if i were a bachelor i'd become a good hiker and camper. If you have a good hiking pack, like i do, then with my hiking pack i can survive just about anywhere, even in a patch of brush on the side of a road. I carefully made a spreadsheet of everything i need in a bug out bag and check mark it off as I pack. I've stayed many overnight camping trips on marked and unmarked trails. All my stuff is camo and made to blend in with the trees and nature.
You are right. 2026 looks to be another economic/financial shit show of a year with wars, huge debts, struggling economy.
The job numbers are fake, the inflation numbers are fake, the debt is fucking huge, the justice system is broken, bureaucracy in many ways has stopped working.
The FED is trapped. They can't raise rates, can't lower rates.
Your gut is telling you something and I think you are right and should listen to your gut and instinct and intuition. Very smart move selling your stocks. I held on to mostly mining stocks and i got crushed last week. I think I'm down $6000 from the peak high. Fortunately i had reallocated to some high dividend oil stocks (exxon, chevron, etc) and i tried to buy the dip in SAAS stocks (adobe, salesforce, now, etc) so there wasn't much more room for those stocks to go down. That helped offset some of my losses. I hold on to AMD, MU, and some other tech stocks and they are still doing fairly well. I think i picked up an extra share of AMD on a dip.
You might want to get back in the market. Now that you feel like there's blood in the streets and this is maximum fear, this might be the time to bottom pick some stuff or shop for deals. Or you wait a little bit longer until it is more evident things are recovering a bit.
Later this week or the next, I'm most likely putting 100% into bitcoins. FBTC or something.
Never go all in on one thing and always keep cash as dry powder since the fiat bucks are still liquid and exchangeable
I have level of cash I don't let myself get below. As much as I hate fiat bucks I still keep enough to sustain few months in emergency or to take advantage of a real good deal
I can always sell off gold or silver but I give myself 30 days to fetch the right price.
It’s the end of the beginning.
Just type more zeroes into a computer. Problem solved.
Stimulus checks. Problem solved.
Why do you care about fake jewish metrics that only matter in a Number Go Up economy?
I’m on edge because there are zero actual deportations.
And? Nothing will be done, so this will just continue.
Universal Basic Income. Problem solved.
They’re not.
How? TYPE MORE NUMBERS INTO A COMPUTER. I really don’t think you understand how this works. No, I’m not being sarcastic or joking. They TYPE NUMBERS IN and the problems go away. They import the browns and the problems go away. You are left to die on the street and their problems go away.
Circuit breakers prevent stock crashes now.
Then they go to jail and their assets are sold off to browns to fund the pensions. Literally how it works.
Then the military comes in to break up the community.
Type. zeroes. into. a. computer.
Then you starve to death. What part of this don’t you understand? This is where we are now. This is the end of the beginning. They got everything they ever wanted and no one fought back. Now it’s over.
I'm glad you have no idea how to grow your own food.
Okay but at some point inflation will get Venezuela or Zimbawbwe-levels. Also see: French revolution.
For how long? When people earn $200 an hour and a burger is $1500, what then?
Aren't they at -10% or something? Just get 5 -10% days in a row lol
yeah, true...
And that's the part that scares me. Even if I escape, they can and will do that. Send police to arrest me or shoot me or military tribunal me. Like in The Last of Us show, with that guy in that empty city.
Yeah. True.
Well at least i'm in quebec and can get on insanely good welfare.
It already has. The US dollar has lost 99.9% of its value since 1913. No one cares. We all act as though everything is fine. Infinity inflation is perfectly acceptable as long as the ratio of expenditures is not to income isn’t affected. A cup of coffee can be 10¢ if you make $10,000 a year, or $10 if you make $1,000,000 a year. It’s the same thing.
See above. We’ve already accepted it. We will continue to do so.
There are four levels of circuit breaker, and then the fifth level that they don’t call one, but which they use anyway (they just shut the banks down for a week). They simply won’t allow selling beyond their desires. They can just shut it down completely.
"Toutes mes excuses, monsieur, mais vous êtes blanc. Votre accès aux programmes gouvernementaux a été suspendu.”
Well I haven't.
My entire budget for the month is $1,000 believe it or not. Everything included - property taxes, insurance, internet, electricity, food, self-care, etc.
Good French! But I was on disability for over a year, and I'm about to go back on it (working on it) for a little while.
Keep paying those taxes and obeying those laws.
My point is that in the future you’ll simply be denied it because of what you are.
I think those with the debt and the guns will look to those saying that they owe them money.
And I also think that those who gave the debt in the first place not knowing that is stupid.
Beginning of the end? Maybe. But it's a long book and we're in the early chapters.
Here's the problem. Among normies, especially the young normies and even more so the ones that scream about how broke they are--what do you see? You can't go out to any sort of non sit down restaurant without tripping over food delivery drivers left and right. They beg for taxes for social services. They've already refused to pay their student loans and no one is coming after them. I don't see an inkling from any of them they have it in them to give up all that and go live quietly raising a family in a small community, because they could do that today. That would mean giving up girls night at the club and food delivery every other night, and that's asking them to give up life.
byeyatollah
I think the stock market will crash. That seems a safe prediction.
If Russia gets involved in the Iran fight, I'll start to think more of Revelations, if that's what you mean.
I wouldn't bet on oil prices. I think peak demand is either very near or has passed.
No, the Americans will back off before things get too bad. Iran can't take the war to America. This is definitely not the beginning to the end.
Im telling you - oil is already at $146 on some market. At $200, what then?
Then maybe it goes to $300. It won't be the end of the world. Your quality of life will go down and that's about it.
You hvae no issue paying $12 a gallon? Just print more money?
What am I going to do about it? Start shooting people? No, I'm just going to pay $12 a gallon and go about my day.
Sheep.
Don't forget your covid "vaccine" booster! It's for your own good, cattle!
Also get on SSRIs! You will be happy!
Exactly. Nothing happened when it should have happened every other time. It won't be any different this time. If you want things to change, start blowing up rich people's superyachts.
Notice how all governments don't want anyone to attack civilian targets and only attack military installations... If you want change, you attack civilian targets.
Thinking implies the transfer (life) from beginning (inception) towards end (death)...putting beginning and end together like an ouroboros represents confinement by encirclement.
A being can only exist in-between beginning and end...few suggest war narratives like US vs Iran to tempt many to incline towards a side and thereby off-center.
War aka versus/verto - "to turn" implies a circular movement...that's an artificial inversion of natures linear procession (inception towards death) of being (life).
US aka United States implies the uniting together of states apart from one another...doing that tricks ones free will of choice into debt to a chosen one. Nature sets each being apart from one another; few within artificially tempt many together.
The opposite of debt is credit aka creed aka ones belief by free will of choice binding itself to another.
