of former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's advisers is in full-blown panic mode over China's Black Monday uk.businessinsider.com/gordon-brown-adviser-damian-mcbride-full-blown-panic-mode-over-chinas-black-monday-2015-8

We have seen seeing the markets crashing everywhere. Governments from china to the US and EU are trying their best to simulate the economy and delay the inevitable. It is now official, there will be an stock market collapse, meaning the banks will be shut and with that everything coming to halt. No one will be at work, no imports will come in, food and medication selves will be empty, civil unrest, hungry and confused people etc... will follow. We have seen it happen to other countries like Greece, but this time no will be here to save our butts.

We dont know what simulation package (if any) will follow, but in the mean time it will be a good idea to have bear essentials like food/ water/ medication/ warm clothing and coal to hand. Im looking at it as buying insurance.

Just wondering how much food and other essentials you have got in your house. And would you be buying more stuff to protect your family, from a economic collapse.

Most people dont keep up to date on this stuff, if you have please share some info to help others understand what is happening.

Thanks

Sophie

emotionsecho as I kids I knew the Millennium Bug was a whole load of rubbish. This time its not about a few digits on a computer is it. Its about the basics fabrics our economy is built on. Once the foundation goes, so does the rest of it. Do you understand how our monetary system works? If not I would suggest looking it up.

3 minute video on the federal reserve
If you would like a longer video, watch Mike Maloney's video. His also written a book on this for robert kiyosaki Rich Dad, Poor Dad series.

Maybe the best video is Corbett Report one. Anyone who watches his news reports, knows the man just deals with facts and leaves you to make the decision of what to think.

I reckon we stand a chance against real zombies, think about it. If they are dead they will just carry in decomposing until they become nothing.
If its people that are still alive but infected, like 28 days later kind of rage virus, then I'm fucked. I can't run.

OP can you please clear this up?
Will there be zombies?
If yes, what kind?
And why do we need a rally point if we will be staying indoors for the foreseeable future?

FattyNinjaOwl · 01/09/2015 01:38

Also, where are we supposed to store our stockpiled food/water?

andersonsophie89 · 01/09/2015 01:39

Do you all understand or aware of what happened last year in the G20 meeting. If the economic callapse is a scaremongering event to sell newspapers, why would the top 20 nationals gather up to make a decision regarding what happens to your money, in case this situation happens? The G20 announce “that bank deposits are just part of commercial banks’capital structure, and also that they are far from the most senior portion of that structure.” Pay close attention America this means that following a bank failure, “a bank deposit is no longer money in the way a banknote is.” Meaning when the bank looses its money, its your savings which will be used to pay for their losses.

Oh, and should we all buy camping stoves and gas cannisters, as the electric/gas will obvs be cut off with the water.

andersonsophie89 · 01/09/2015 01:40

Where on earth did zombies come from?

OP, please answer my questions. You can't post such scaremongering BS without giving us clear and comprehensive advice.

emotionsecho · 01/09/2015 01:43

There were plenty of respected 'experts' predicting unmitigated chaos, including the collapse of stock markets and banking systems worldwide, at the time of the Millennium Bug Sophie and people believed it, including people like Damien McBride and probably several of the others you have name checked.

FattyNinjaOwl · 01/09/2015 01:44

maryz zombies can be anywhere. Tis vampires that need to be away from sunlight, but can't enter your home unless invited in. They can sleep in their own home.

AGnu, I have no idea why the suggestion is to have enough food for a month? Throughout history, it has always been a lot longer. A great depression normally follows.

The idea of living indoors for a month, is because it will be dangerous for one to go outside. You don't need to look very far back, you can see countries where economic collapse has happened and where most people arent prepared for it, there is kios and riots on the streets. Essentails like food and fuel become currencies. In Germany before the war, it was cheaper to use bank notes as wall paper. Money was worthless.

Do you understand how our monetary system works? If not I would suggest looking it up.

You don't "understand how our system works" by watching a few polemical vids on Youtube, fgs! It's a massively complex area which people spend years of their lives studying, and even then they disagree completely amongst themselves.

If you want to play Economics link minestrone, this guy, Paul Krugman, is an Economics Professor who won the Nobel Prize for his contributions in 2008. He says:

Matthew Klein notes that Very Serious People are now worried that China’s troubles, which have caused it to switch rather suddenly from a buyer of Treasuries to a seller, will cause U.S. interest rates to spike. He rightly finds this unconvincing. What he doesn’t note is we’re looking at another instance of an economic zombie in action.

For the new concern about China is, in economic terms, the same as the old concern – that the Chinese could destroy our economy by cutting off funding, either for political reasons or out of disgust over our budget deficits. This always reflected a fundamental failure to understand the economic logic, as was pointed out many times not just by yours truly (and much earlier here)but also by people like Dan Drezner. But scare stories about our supposed financial dependence on China just keep shambling along, propounded by people who don’t even realize that there are other views, let alone that they’re talking nonsense.

AGnu · 01/09/2015 01:47

But in GCSE history we learnt about the Great Depression & how paper money became worthless overnight. What's the point in us all taking our money out now if it's going to be worthless anyway? Or is that why we need to buy food now? Can't we just loot it like everyone else will? What happens after we run out of that month's worth of food? Will the economic crisis only last a month?

Please can we keep our electric? I don't want all the food in my freezer going off. I wonder if I can convince DH to invest in a small generator to keep it going...

andersonsophie89 · 01/09/2015 01:50

FattyNinjaOwl - My aim is just to get you to start researching and debunking me. I can guarantee, once you have spent a day on it, you will be going out there to buy buy the basics. How to store, what else do, etc... now that decision is up to you.

FattyNinjaOwl · 01/09/2015 01:50

maryz maybe they are zombie vampires?
I've only seen it once, and refuse to watch it again as I got upset when the dog died.

sleeponeday · 01/09/2015 01:51

Zombies: DS sneered at the idea they only came out at night. Then I realised I might be confusing them with vampires. It's very tricky keeping one's creatures of the night in good order, really. I blame Buffy.

emotionsecho · 01/09/2015 01:52

That comment on bank deposits is nothing new, only a certain amount has ever been guaranteed if you have more than that in there you lose it (can't recall the figure off the top of my head, it was increased about 2008) and of course the amount varies from country to country. This has always been the case.

CosmicDespot · 01/09/2015 01:53

So do vampires have to stand quietly on the front path if you refuse to let them in? Seems a bit of a design flaw in an evil being in all honesty.

FattyNinjaOwl · 01/09/2015 01:53

But, if all this was true it would be national news. You wouldn't be able to watch shitty JK in a morning as it would have special coverage of our impending doom on instead.
Until then I'm happy as I am thanks.

JacobFryesTopHatLackey · 01/09/2015 01:53

Op, your name and posting style seems quite familiar. I could've sworn you've posted similar, sparsely sourced rants before.

andersonsophie89 · 01/09/2015 01:55

China crash is due to the good old policy markets, artificially propping up its markets, thus creating a bubble. Many economist have been saying this. Just look up Gerald Celentes old weekly videos, his been warning off their bubble. Oh and guess what, that same system is what UK and US uses too. If we are using the same system to prop up our markets, what makes you think we wont head the same direction?

cosmic I presume they just move onto the next house.
I've never met a vampire though so I'm not 100% sure on that

sleeponeday · 01/09/2015 01:56

I seem to recall that originally it was 20k that was protected, then when the banking crisis hit they amped it up to eventually 85k. It's been knocked down to 75k now though.

But yes: a guarantee on savings is not new.

FattyNinjaOwl · 01/09/2015 01:57

I've heard thus stuff makes awesome hats
