Decline Of A Nation and The Seven Stages Of Empire

From 'Decline Of A Nation' by Kerby Anderson

Each of the great civilizations in the world passed through a series of stages from their birth to their decline to their death. Historians have listed these in ten stages.

The first stage moves from bondage to spiritual faith. 

The second from spiritual faith to great courage. 

The third stage moves from great courage to liberty. 

The fourth stage moves from liberty to abundance.

The fifth stage moves from abundance to selfishness.

The sixth stage moves from selfishness to complacency.

The seventh stage moves from complacency to apathy. 

The eighth stage moves from apathy to moral decay. 

The ninth stage moves from moral decay to dependence. 

And the tenth and last stage moves from dependence to bondage.

The Seven Stages Of Empire And The Imminent Collapse Of The Dollar by Dan Cassidy

 

Looking back at history their is a very distinct and predictable pattern or progression that all great empires have evolved through. This cycle of birth and death has happened in every great empire ranging from Babylon, Rome, Great Britain and presently the United States of America.
1st Stage
When a country or empire is in early stages of growth, it starts out with sound money. The currency is usually gold, or something that is backed by gold or another similar asset or metal. Up until about WWI, the US currency was almost 100% completely backed by gold.
2nd Stage
When a country starts to develop both socially and economically, it puts more and more pressure on the economy which leads to more social programs and additional layers of public works. An example of this in American history would be “New Deal” type social economic reforms that were implemented after the Great Depression by FDR.
3rd Stage
As the economy grows in abundance, the political influence grows along with massive increases in expenditures to pay for a growing military.
4th Stage
At some point in the course of development of an Empire, the country puts its military to use and the expenditures explode off the charts.
5th Stage
In order to pay for the costly wars, it is necessary to steal the wealth of the citizens by replacing their sound asset backed money with fiat currency that can be created in unlimited quantities. The gold standard of the United States was taken away little by little starting with WWI and finally completely off the standard during Vietnam.
6th Stage
This transfer of wealth that is the result of expanding the money supply burdens the population through price inflation and by people starting to lose faith in the currency.
7th Stage
During the last stage of empire their is a massive movement out of the currency and into other asset classes like metals and other sound and tangible assets. As this movement out of the currency takes place it starts to collapse and the wealth is transferred into the hands of people who anticipated the event and knew how to position themselves to prosper.
Currently we sit at somewhere between stage six and seven. Will we eventually enter into a hyper-inflationary depression and finally a total collapse of the Dollar as the world reserve currency?
It’s a proven fact that not one country or empire has ever survived once it implemented a fiat currency into the economy. Over the last 100 years this exact seven stage scenario has played out over 30 times!
The great news is that wealth is never destroyed, it just transfers from one person to another depending on what your invested in. Their were more new millionaires made during the Great Depression than ever before in history and it could happen again very soon and on a much larger scale this time!
It’s important that you have the right people teaching you and giving you the right advice during these times of economic turmoil. Their is a lot of misleading and false information out there when it comes to investment advice.
I chose to become a member of The Elevation Group so that I can start taking action now and position myself to come out on the right side of the next cycle. Even if things don’t play out as predicted I can sleep soundly at night knowing that I have access to a group of very experienced investors and business professionals that can guide me in making the best investment choices in any market conditions.

Four Stages Of Communism As Envisioned By It's Founders by Billy Glenn

Four Stages Of Communism As Envisioned By It's Founders 

By Billy Glenn  First stage: when communism is trying to gain control of a nation.
Deterioration is noticed in arts and entertainment, political, educational and religious thought of a nation. Racial strife, a breakdown of the family unit, lawlessness, political correctness and judges writing new laws: in brief, apostasy.


Second stage: when communism has gained control of a nation.
This stage is exemplified through the years from Vladimer Ilyich Lenin to Mikhail Gorbachev. During this phase big land holders and the middle class are brought to financial ruin by a planned demolishing of the economy and financial infrastructure.


Third stage: where nations of the old Soviet Union are now.
The Soviet Union that was is now known as the Commonwealth of Independent States. (Communism is basically a land grab.) Land barons control the military and the government and the masses are too poor to overthrow them. The Commonwealth is experiencing a new "dark ages." The large circle of bureaucrats or pampered "fat cats" of the second stage have lost their status in government. They will not be allowed to regain their former status, although they will try.


Fourth stage: the forth stage is when all nations are members of a "Commonwealth of States."
From this vantage point the world would be governed through subservient representatives by a United Nations. Not a pretty picture, is it?

CLOSING THOUGHT: Great wrongs are righted by the few, because the majority find something else to do.

U.S. DOLLAR FOR OIL THE TRUTH

A note from the Counsel General:

 I was astonished at the information in this article and wanted to share it with NTN readers. The original post is at  

Godlike Productions .

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To understand the situation you all need to understand what Kissinger calls Petrodollar Recycling. I am going to give an extremely brief re-cap of it here, so you'll understand the importance of breaking news.


*1971* We lose the gold standard because the American Government had overspent to fight the Vietnam war, which forced countries like France to begin demanding payment in gold at the end of the 60's. Nixon feared that if he didn't remove the Gold Standard, foreign creditors could bankrupt the treasury, since they had over printed based on their reserves.

*1974* OPEC announces exploratory plans to begin accepting a basket of currencies for oil, rather than just the US dollar. Kissinger sends treasury secretary William Simon to Saudi Arabia to convince them to abandon their plans and sway the rest of OPEC into doing the same.

*1974-1978* During these four years inflation was bad in the US, as the loss of the gold standard meant the currency was being watered down. OPEC who was ONLY accepting US dollars felt they were being screwed because the dollar was continually being devalued. They again petitioned to begin trading oil in multiple currencies, especially the Yen and German Mark, because while the US currency was losing value, those currencies were appreciating in value.

*1978* The Saudi's strike a final deal with American Treasury Secretary guaranteeing they will price their oil in Dollars in exchange for two things, first a higher rating at the IMF (they went from 38th to 8th), and a promise that the US dollar would soon increase in value. In exhange the Saudi's would then price the oil in dollars, as well as invest all their money into American debt Via the NY Fed.

*1980* Gold hits 860$, which was a tiny $35 just a decade earlier, more than 2000% inflation in one decade.

*1981* Interest rates are set to an unprecedented 20% and a period of rapid deflation (through contraction) sets in, dramatically increasing the value of the dollar (deflation), making good on the promise to the Saudis.


WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

Because after 1971, the dollar had no backing and to solve this issue they instead backed the dollar with BLACK GOLD. By ensuring that all oil on Earth was traded in the dollar, they ensured large consistent demand for the dollar OUTSIDE of the United States, meaning that those dollars wouldn't be flooding the American market, and wouldn't be causing runaway inflation.

If we estimate the world uses 70,000,000 barrels of oil per day, and each barrel is sold for $100, that means we have $7,000,000,000 just in crude sales, this doesn't even count all the derivatives of oil, and other related industries that rely on the US dollar.

Now because almost every country relies on imported oil (or imported refined products like gasoline, example, Iran) every nation on Earth MUST hold US dollars in their reserves so that they can purchase things on the market.

In total, the world is holding roughly 10 trillion in International Reserves, 75% of which is the US dollar, the other 25% being other national currencies as well as Gold. This means that the nations of the world are holding roughly 7.5 trillion US dollars to facilitate their trades.

If the US dollar loses its reserve currency, then it loses DEMAND, if it loses demand, then those dollar come flooding home unleashing rapid inflation.


WAR WITH IRAN

In 2000 Saddam announced that he was going to switch to the Euro for trading oil. This would have eliminated a large chunk of the demand for the US dollar that is relied upon to keep dollars OUT OF THE COUNTRY!

We all know what happened to Saddam.

Recently Ghaddafi announced he planned to abandon the US dollar for oil trading.

We all know what happened to Saddam.

JANUARY 2012 - IRAN ANNOUNCES IT WILL NO LONGER USE THE US DOLLAR FOR OIL!

This absolutely CANNOT be allowed, and it GUARANTEES war with Iran.
