In a riveting interview on CNBC, legendary investor Jim Rogers warned Americans to prepare for "Financial Armageddon," saying he fully expects the economy to implode after the U.S. election.

Rogers, who for years has been an outspoken critic of the Feds policies of "Quantitative Easing," says the world is "drowning in too much debt." He put the blame squarely on U.S. and European governments for abusing their "license to print money." In the U.S. alone, the national debt has surged to nearly $16 trillion, that's more than $50,000 for every American man, woman and child.

"[They] need to stop spending money they don't have," Rogers said. "The solution to too much debt is not more debt... What would make me very excited is if a few people [in the government] went bankrupt..." Rogers added.

Rogers also charged Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel with promoting dangerous policies that create the illusion the economy is stable... but are really only intended to buy time before their upcoming elections

"Mrs. Merkle has an election next year," Rogers said. "Mr. Obama has an election in November. The Americans and the Germans - they want to do everything they can to hold the world up until after the next election."

"It's going to be bad after the next election."

How bad? Worse than Rogers predicts, according to a new investigation.

In a newly released documentary that went viral last month, a team of influential economic experts say they have discovered a "frightening pattern" they believe points to a massive economic catastrophe unlike anything ever seen in the history of the world.

And according to these experts - who have presented their findings to the United Nations, the UK Parliament and a long list of world governments - the catastrophe may happen well before Americans hit the polls in November.

"What this pattern represents is a dangerous countdown clock that's quickly approaching zero," said Keith Fitz-Gerald, the Chief Investment Strategist for the Money Map Press, who predicted the 2008 oil shock, the credit default swap crisis that helped bring about the recession, and the Greek and European fiscal catastrophe that is still wreaking havoc until this day.

"The resulting chaos is going to crush Americans."

Another member of this team, Chris Martenson, a global economic trend forecaster, former VP of a Fortune 300, and an internationally recognized expert on the dangers of exponential growth in the economy, explained their findings further:

"We found an identical pattern in our debt, total credit market, and money supply that guarantees they're going to fail," Martenson said. "This pattern is nearly the same as in any pyramid scheme, one that escalates exponentially fast before it collapses. Governments around the globe are chiefly responsible."

"And what's really disturbing about these findings is that the pattern isn't limited to our economy. We found the same catastrophic pattern in our energy, food, and water systems as well."

According to Martenson, these systems could all implode at the same time.

"Food, water, energy, money. Everything."

This article is not dated, but I remember reading the exact same thing at least a week ago, maybe 2. There was at least one thread on it when he first made the statements.
 
So what is the solution for the layperson?

Take paper out of bank?
Leave it in bank?

Start buying up silver/gold?

Start buying commodities?

etc....
 
Commodities and metals should go up , so ,yeah , if you have the ability , get some , better safe than sorry.
 
Isn't this warning for all the yuckity yucks? Does this really matter for us little people?
 
So what is the solution for the layperson?

Take what you can out of the bank. Not because there might be bank runs (not likely to happen due to FDIC as well as ATM machines and credit/debit cards), but because then they have less of your money to mess around with.

Start buying up silver/gold?

Yes, and probably a small amount in bitcoins as well. All of them should do well in the future, but no one knows for sure which ones will do better. Diversify.

Start buying commodities?

Food for sure. Probably not worth investing in stuff you wouldn't be using anyway though.

Its not real hard conceptually. Just do what you can. Start small and learn as you go. You will probably never be adequately prepared, but every bit you do improves your chances of coming out well. Its also good advice even if we never get to any sort of collapse.
 
Is here refering to the decline of crude oil, people like Colin Campbell, Richard heinberg have spoken about in the past. Well, Heinberg still does, and wrote the book called the End of economic growth.

Compared the Constellation program, the mission to land on the Moon for one of the objectives was to extract Helium 3, even though a fussion reactor won't be around for at least not another fifty years, with what the Mayans did which was they'relast attempts to save their society by building structures, I believe he said.
 
Its hilarious, random CEOs say this and it gets mass attention, Larouche says it and gets called a crazy old guy.

Re-instate Glass-Steagall or watch the transatlantic financial system blow your face off.
 
Nah, it wouldn't make much of a difference



Larouche IS a crazy person, and he is a real piece of trash. You'd be better off not listening to him.

You're entirely innaccurate. Glass-steagall would make a huge difference. No, it wouldn't solve everything, but declaring illegit gambling debt as just that, and removing the taxpayer obligation to pay said gambling debts, is a huge start if you ever want to get credit flowing to anything productive.

Larouche is perhaps a bit sensational, but in no way is he insane, or incompetent....or as you say "a piece of trash." He is a good Statesman and has an extremely smart and capable PAC fighting "the good fight" inside the democratic party.

It is hilarious tho, how you speak about larouche, is exactly how the romney crowd speaks about Ron Paul. Which i guess thats all Ron Pual is anymore, is the Larouche of the GOP, so enjoy!

larouche was calling for barry's impeachment long before it crossed your mind, and hes a democrat, doesn't hurt to give credit where its due.
