A significant number of "locked and loaded, take it from my cold dead hands" Americans are ready to attack the government from within, when the time comes. The "United States" corporation is losing the mandate from the governed.

And that Anonymint is probably the most sense you have typed in 1000 posts and 1 trillion links. We are (and I never thought I would be saying this) in agreement Cool

I know its none of my business, but where are you putting your hard earned USD these days? It won't be BTC on account of the anonymity issues I expect - gold ? land ?

Hey, Russia is a good punt just now - but I guess the returns would be taxable Roll Eyes

Seems to me the centre of global economic power is shifting east as I type - and I can't see a Madmax outcome occurring any time soon in Shanghai.

US imperialism is on the wane from a global perspective - and its exploitatative domination and constant manipulation of the flow of information domestically (in order to maintain the finance capitalists hegemony) has, as you rightly point out, led to a situation where the US seems to have severe civil problems - indeed, no less than my time on this forum has opened my eyes to that fact.

And, to be clear, we should also say that the US's imminent demise in the world economic order is in no way due to socialism and the public ownership of the means of production in that country - on the contrary every square inch of the US, and the assetts contained therein, are owned by private individuals/Wall Street, whilst at the same time the countries that are now prospering seem to be those with socialist mixed economies.

No - the unregulated free market has a lot to answer for in the US, and in the world, IMHO.
