THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC COLLAPSE WILL LEAD TO CIVIL UNREST IN YOUR CITY!
~~The era we are all witnessing in our world right now may one day be called the “Era of Collapse.”
As is now evident to anyone paying attention, humans are rapidly using up all the world’s finite resources. Water aquifers are being pumped dry, rare earth minerals are being depleted through aggressive mining operations, and fossil fuels are being burned up far faster than they can be replenished.
The energy industry argues that they can always find more oil no matter how high the demand escalates, but this is a mathematical impossibility. As the Earth’s population continues to explode, energy usage skyrockets with it, and the consumption of energy by human civilization has already vastly exceeded what fossil fuels can sustainably provide.
As cheap oil comes to an end, cheap food will vanish
When cheap oil collapses, cheap food will no longer be available. The planting, harvesting, storage and transportation of food requires enormous quantities of fossil fuels under our current agricultural system. Cheap food doesn’t just appear on grocery store shelves by magic, after all: there are countless engines and road miles involved along the way.
Because human beings are so utterly unwilling to plan for the future, they will use up the very last drops of oil while having no real plan for surviving in a post-oil economy. This will result in a crash rather than a “soft transition.” The crash will see a sudden spike in oil costs which will be immediately reflected in skyrocketing food prices. This has already begun in its early stages, of course, as food inflation takes hold in North America and elsewhere.
As this energy crisis unfolds, it won’t take long before food prices reach ten times their current level (1,000% price increases). This will of course result in a number of additional catastrophic problems:
1) Mass global starvation as families cannot afford to feed their children.
2) Huge drop in food demand as consumers limit their purchases to what they can afford. This will result in the bankruptcy of many food and farming operations as sales plummet. Food production costs due to unaffordable fuel will also put many farmers out of business.
3) The collapse of the restaurant industry and fast food companies as prepared food becomes too expensive for consumers to afford.
As world history has shown, the masses will put up with almost any degree of dictatorial control as long as there’s cheap food available. But the day that food becomes scarce, revolution will become imminent. Every nation is just 7 meals away from a revolution, the saying goes.
Starving masses, unable to understand the economics behind skyrocketing food prices, will simply blame their own governments!
This will immediately and predictably result in massive, widespread shortages of those food items combined with an exploding underground black market for food.
The shortages will worsen and starvation will spread. Governments will clamp down with police state controls such as biometric identity cards that “allow” you to purchase food. Mass revolts will become inevitable.
Unfortunately, even revolts and revolutions can’t solve the problem of disappearing fossil fuels, so the starvation will continue. From mass starvation comes mass disease, ultimately leading to the spread of infectious disease and a population collapse.
In just the last five or six years the world has been fundamentally transformed. Instead of the old accustomed Western-inspired postwar global order, crafted and ensured by the United States and its European and Japanese partners, there is now mostly chaos, from Ukraine to Syria to the South China Sea, along with passenger airplanes being shot out of the sky not to mention disappearing off the face of the planet!
The general cause of the unrest is that, fairly or not, the world senses that the United States is tired and a crumbling empire, cutting back its defenses, along with the showing signs that the western system is financially insolvent from the USA, the UK, Europe to Australia and Japan.
The civil unrest is growing from country to country as the global collapse spreads worldwide and affect’s the general population caused by high unemployment and inflation. The austerity measure introduced in each country of higher taxes, huge budget deficits, and enormous increases in entitlement spending has come to breaking-point and is not sustainable!
As a result, we now are witnessing a world in transition — a world of regional hegemonies that are filling the vacuum after the abdication of the UK/United States empire.
Its clear to see we are in the final stags of the wealth transfer from west to east. The emerging third world markets have become the wealthy developing nations with the rise and formation of the BRICS; while the developed western OECD nations have become insolvent and on the verge of break-down!
Same amount of water in the world, it just moves around and takes on climate characteristics such as ocean water, plant vegetation, ice, snow and animal life.
