Oddly enough, with a drought having cut the 2012 harvest by figures ranging from 35-75% in the midwest US, and farmers and ranchers predicting drastic effects on their businesses and on food prices, Beck’s concerns don’t seem so crazy now.. in July 2012.

I don’t know what to beleive. I know if you had told me a decade ago i would see many of the thing’s am seeing today i would have laughed in scorn.Fact’s are the country and it’s states are bankrupt. With cap and trade..obamacare.and many other obama polices i can see where prices for everything will skyrocket. Maybe coffee will not go as high as 77$ but try 12.50$ Coffee has gone up 33% in one year.And food supplies? Stores only have 24 hours worth. Everything obama is doing tells one it aint gonna look good a year from now.

Thanks to the t party & repullicans 75 million people already face starvation after hillbilly backward Nov vote forced tax cuts for the rich on US

Beck & Palin need to shut up & move back to the hills before they vote in more losers who make billions robbing the working class.

All we heard for two years was don’t spend, no more debt, & it didn’t take a month for the republcians they voted into office to add $958 billion to our debt so the rich could get richer & jobs will continue to go away or pay less just like the last ten years.

Mikey behold- capitalism. Until it is overthrown this thing will happen roughly every 20-30 years every time the next “boom” is found.

The funny thing about gold is this though: Here’s a company telling you that you must buy gold because your paper money is going to be worthless soon. They have gold they want to sell you- and they’re accepting paper money for it. Suspicious?

The only hyperinflation that is happening right now is the price of gold. Why in God’s name would people STILL be buying gold at the ridiculous prices it has currently risen to? Wait, I know the answer, THEY DIDN’T LEARN FROM THE HOUSING MARKET. This is the same mentality that my friends at work had in 2003-04 when they were pi$$ing themselves because their $225,000 house had risen to $485,000 in 6 months. I TOLD them it wouldn’t last, and they assured me that some “experts” had told them it would. Scary.

It’s funny how people are laughing at Americans. I was reading an article, “Too Often, Conservatives Dupe Themselves” and a commenter posted this, http://www.roadmap.republicans.....thsecurity and says that the plan is for Medicare to be turned into a voucher system that sends seniors out to the MARKETPLACE to buy private insurance. ***Remember, “don’t touch my social security…” But anyway, they commented about how Americans voted the GOP back into power, while the others stayed home…

Great post Ian- reminds me of an actual video where Alex Jones, who has been ranting about martial law being “just around the corner” for years now, started shouting at two National Guard soldiers in a New York restaurant who happened to be in uniform. Apparently he thought that seeing soldiers walk around in uniform is a form of creeping martial law. I wonder what happens when he spots a recruitment station.

You know what’s kind of funny, people are more likely to starve the more they support Tea Party candidates who in turn support more corporate friendly deregulation. They will continue to lose jobs, rights in the workplace, what few social programs we have left, and so on.

It’s all about the type of “journalism” he practices. His aim is to use all the hyperbole and histrionics allowed by his media outlet.

The really sad aspect of all of this is the only reason he’s on the air is that so many Americans tune it to hear his rants and opinions.

This man is very dangerous, even more dangerous than the Bishop Sheen’s of yesteryear because he is everywhere. And his fans can cause real damage to this country and ultimately, the world. It is sad that some many are afraid and will turn to him and his ilk in their time of desperation.

It interests me deeply that there is no wiki page for the national inflation association. Its also quite interesting, in my eyes at least, that doing a Google time-line search their name doesn’t come up before March 2009. Well… unless you count the one or two articles that come up that were archived from the 50s and 70s.

So who are these people and why can’t I find ANYTHING on them? Seriously… when a professional organization doesn’t even show up on Wikipedia I start wondering.

Both hyperinflation and depression have the effect of jetissoning all classes into penury – except the super-rich, who collect all the real wealth (resources, industries, farmlands, housing, and chains of production and distribution) into their own hands. They then point the fury and fear of the disenfranchised towards a chosen “them” – ethnic and religious minorities, immigrants, the disabled (seen as parasites polluting the gene pool), the poor (ditto); foreign nations possessed of more pride and dignity than they have means to defend themselves. You can read a fuller account in William Shirer’s works, in Konrad Hayden’s Der Fuhrer, and any number of contemporary works – but I bet it already looks familiar. Well, who could be co-ordinating such a scheme? Hint: Try searching Council for National Policy…

Unfortunately Beck is guided by the holy spirit. The so called financial experts, the leaders of our most esteemed financial institutions, have been getting it wrong for decades. This mess the WORLD is in right now provides great fodder for any religious zealot. The joke is on us. The new experts are Beck and Jon Stewart.

Beck has been hawking ‘Survivalist Kits’ for the coming Obama-induced mass insanity. He has a financial gain for all his vitriol, so why not let the people think the end is coming? It’s all money in the bank for Beck..

Hyperinflation sounds like a great way to wipe out the ill-gotten assets of Wall Street traders and eliminate the ever-increasing gulf between the rich and the poor that is tearing our country apart. Unfortunately I’m sure the fed will manipulate our “free market” economy to keep that from happening as it has always done.
