Michael Snyder has consistently written excellent articles on the current global economic situation. I may not always agree with his conclusions, but his facts are rarely off. Michael's article below is a cry to the people to please "Be Prepared", because the collapse of this current slavery system is in process RIGHT NOW.
THIS is why I wrote yesterday's article "Being Prepared is not fear: Do you have the Power?". This isn't about "spreading fear porn" or "harvesting negative energy", this is about the truth of what is happening this very moment. Will it roll out smoothly? I doubt it. Why? Because no matter what kind of spin the main stream media puts on this, no matter what the talking heads try to tell the people is happening.... People are still going to panic, and they are going to figure out that the shit has just hit the fan, and they forgot their raincoat at home.
I do have faith in humanity to pull together, but that doesn't mean that there won't be at least a few days of shit flying everywhere.
It looks as if I may have to do another Transpicuous News update after all..... I may take a moment tonight and just post out a pile of links to news articles that people should take note of.
Remember: No Fear. This is what we've been waiting for- remember that! THIS is the moment that we've been talking about for three years!! Well it would seem that that moment has finally arrived.

By Michael Snyder, on December 17th, 2014
If
you were about to take a final exam, would you have more hope or more
fear if you didn’t understand any of the questions and you had not
prepared for the test at all? I think that virtually all of us have had
dreams where we show up for an exam that we have not studied for.
Those dreams can be pretty terrifying. And of course if you were ever
in such a situation in real life, you probably did very, very poorly on
that test. The reason I have brought up this hypothetical is to make a
point. My point is that there is hope in understanding what is ahead of
us, and there is hope in getting prepared. Since I started The Economic Collapse Blog
back in 2009, there have always been a few people that have accused me
of spreading fear. That frustrates me, because what I am actually doing
is the exact opposite of that. When a hurricane is approaching, is it
“spreading fear” to tell people to board up their windows? Of course
not. In fact, you just might save someone’s life. Or if you were
walking down the street one day and you saw someone that wasn’t looking
and was about to step out into the road in front of a bus, what would
the rational thing to do be? Anyone that has any sense of compassion
would yell out and warn that other person to stay back. Yes, that other
individual may be startled for a moment, but in the end you will be
thanked warmly for saving that person from major injury or worse. Well,
as a nation we are about to be slammed by the hardest times that any of
us have ever experienced. If we care about those around us, we should
be sounding the alarm.
Since 2009, I have published 1,211 articles on the coming economic collapse on my website. Some people assume that I must be filled with worry, bitterness and fear because I am constantly dealing with such deeply disturbing issues.
But that is not the case at all.
There is nothing that I lose sleep over, and I don’t spend my time worrying about anything. Yes, my analysis of the global financial system has completely convinced me that an absolutely horrific economic collapse is in our future. But understanding what is happening helps me to calmly make plans for the years ahead, and working hard to prepare for what is coming gives me hope that my family and I will be able to weather the storm.
I do not believe in living my life in a state of fear, and I do not want anything that I write to ever cause fear in my readers. The ancient Hebrew greeting “Shalom” is roughly translated as “peace” or “completeness”, and that is what we are constantly pursuing in my household. My wife and I know that incredibly challenging times are coming, but we also know who we are, what our purpose is, and where we are headed. We also believe that the greatest chapters of our lives are ahead even in the midst of all the chaos that is coming.
When times are the darkest, that is when light is needed the most. Just think about it. When you look back over history, what heroes do you admire the most? If you truly think about it, almost all of those heroes arose during times of great adversity and conflict.
The years ahead can be a time of great adventure for you, or they can seem like hell on Earth. It all depends on how you respond to your circumstances.
Do you want to know who is going to respond to the years ahead with fear, panic and depression?
The millions of people that have absolutely no idea what is coming and have made absolutely no preparations are going to be absolutely blindsided by the coming economic collapse. Just like the 1930s, we are going to see people jumping out of windows and jumping in front of trains. Others will sink into a state of despair so deep that nobody will ever be able to shake them out of it.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Over the past five years I have spent thousands of hours studying the coming economic collapse. In my articles you can find tens of thousands of facts and statistics that prove that the U.S. economy is hurtling toward oblivion.
It is not always the most pleasant thing to write about, but it is the truth. And that is what matters. If you believe that I am wrong, prove it to me. I work very hard to put out the most accurate information that I possibly can. So if you can prove that I am wrong, I will change my mind.
But of course that is not going to happen. As I have stated previously, anyone with half a brain should be able to see that we are living in the greatest debt bubble in human history. Anyone with half a brain should be able to see that the “too big to fail” banks are being extraordinarily reckless (derivatives, etc.). Anyone with half a brain should be able to see that our formerly great manufacturing cities are being transformed into crime-infested hellholes. Anyone with half a brain should be able to see that the middle class is dying. Anyone with half a brain should be able to see that the exact same patterns that led up to the great financial crisis of 2008 are happening again. Anyone with half a brain should be able to see that we simply cannot consume far more wealth than we produce as a nation indefinitely. Anyone with half a brain should be able to see that the incredibly foolish decisions that our politicians have been making for decades have placed us on a road to utter disaster.
So it doesn’t take anyone special to do what I am doing. I am just a “watchman on the wall” sounding the alarm the best that I can. And there are lots of others that are doing the same thing. We are deeply concerned about where this nation is heading, and we have been pleading with our leaders to do something about it for a long time but they have not listened to us.
Since our leaders just continue doing “business as usual”, there is not going to be a solution to our problems on the national level.
So that is why I am encouraging people to get prepared for the hard times that are coming on a family level and a community level.
Unfortunately, it seems like some people always have an excuse for not getting prepared. In fact, a few have even gone so far as to accuse me of being “anti-faith” for suggesting that people actually get off their couches and do something to help their families deal with the nightmare on the horizon. They seem to have the attitude that we should all just sit back and wait for God to do everything for us.
So I am not quite sure why those people get up in the morning and go to work, since they should just “trust God” to deposit paychecks into their banks. And I am not quite sure why they ever fill up the tanks of their vehicles with gasoline, because they should be able to “trust God” to put more gas there when they need it.
I covered all of this in much more detail in my previous article entitled “Is It ‘Anti-Faith’ To Prepare For The Coming Economic Collapse?”
