Re: Dmitry Orlov:- America will collaspe
I didn't even care to watch the whole thing. I typically enjoy the articles and such that you find and post, but please keep your source material credible and worth our time. This one was rubbish and not up to your normal standards."...the western financial system has already failed. The failure has just not yet been realized, while the system remains confident that it is still alive." Jesse

A blanket reply of "not credible" simply doesn't cut it in my book. These types of "what if" scenarios may just be the alternative insight that you can tuck away and that save your ass if the time comes. But by all means, go hitch your fortune to the "credible sources" in the main stream media or strictly economic blogs. If there's one thing people need to wrap their heads around, it is that this is no longer just economics. This is deeply political, and you need to have a wider view of history to understand the possible future paths. Witness the "Gosbank"ing of US banks - another uncanny Russian parallel (which I called before EJ did).

Surely you must be familiar with EJ's take on the mainstream economic media as salestrumpets of FIRE. Otherwise, you're confined to alternative outlets such as Al-Jazeera, ITulip, Calculated Risk, and yes - even Russia Today. While I find a Russian style collapse of the US not that likely, the parallells are in fact uncanny (declining domestic oil production, swamped in debt, unstable empire, an unwinnable war in Afghanistan, a dysfunctional political system that just continues the looting).

The idea that the United States will break up into several smaller countrys or fall captive to an invasion by China and Mexico is laughable at best. You are calling the kettle black when you are your self a burnt frying pan.
One needs to weed out the rubbish from both sides of the political spectrum to get a clear veiw. Are we adopting some socialist social agendas? Of course. And it is about time. For too long we have allowed the elite rich to run roughshod over the working poor.
Are we turning into a mini Russia? Please. Perhaps a pre 1950's America. A modern version of 17th century Russia? No.

in which the German's control the U.S. up to the Rockies and Japan controls the Pacific Northwest and California. Sure a lot of stuff is possible.

Re: Dmitry Orlov:- America will collaspe
Krakke - appreciate your points. Another discussion on this same topic was posted in VIDEO, with the publisher of Harper's Magazine, Rick MacArthur (who actually published EJ"s own article on the current debacle) actually being the one voice in that panel discussion who agreed that this thesis has at least some merit. Appreciate Fred's no-nonsense style a lot of the time, but maybe Fred should listen in on that panel discussion before summarily dumping this thread as being a discussion of a specious theme? Orlov may or may not be a credible voice. The theme itself is not so easily dismissed IMO.

Re: Dmitry Orlov:- America will collaspe
My Great Grannie could rant better than Orlov in his steady MONOTONE!!!!!
I would throw the FLAG us football style on this one and request an instant review by the REFEREE!!!!! He blew this call big time.
Orlov expressed well thought out opinions. Since when are Opinions banished to the Penalty Box?
If it is because he is WRONG, then let's have no more of Greenspan, Bernanke, Geithner, Obama, and all the other cronies, phonies and assorted expert dregs who brought this Disaster on and do not have a CLUE!!!!!
Americans have been living in a Dreamworld for the last thirty years. The shock of waking up leads to denial, incredulity and a desire to shut down the opinions of those who have known all along that the Dreamworld was a massive Fraud.
Turn off the TV, MSM, read some books about your history and the real America and get ready for Change, it ain't gonna get ready for you!
