What happens in a total collapse of the economy?
I am curious and afraid at the same time. Personally, I do not know what will happen.
Will martial law be declared?
How will that work?
Who will be in charge?
What is and will there be anarchy?
What other form of civil unrest can happen?
Will public services, like water treatment, sewer, garbage cease?
What is the best action for people to take if this happens?
These are just questions I have and I am not wishing or hoping for such a thing to happen. I would like to be prepared, though! Just in case and maybe that's like getting baptized in Hey Zeus's name, just in case. Maybe we should discuss a plan of action?

4. Step 1 will be to arrest all those who predict total collapes of the economy followed by martial law
Look out your window right now. If you see a black helicopter, go hide in the basement.
Okay. Fess up. Who's been using company property to torment the DUmmies again. Whale oil for those helicopters is expensive and this sort of waste diverts resources away from the chemtrail spraying budget.

8. IT will not be on TV because there will be no electricity. You will not be able
to buy anything in the store because no trucks will be bringing anything to the stores.
The hungry urban people will riot and the cities will burn.
Martial law will be declared but there will not be enough police or military to police the whole country.
There will be no public services:
no public water treatment,
sewers will overflow and garbage will block the streets as the rats run wild.
What to do? Start you garden now. Drill your well and make sure you can operate it with the power you can generate.
Please tell me I'll still get my Free Ponyâ„¢ ?

18. Socialism or fascism
Fascism is more likely - we were virtually there before Barack.

21. I'll take neither, thank you.
Historically, both have almost always involved a centralized, despotic, authoritarian government.
Granted that most people have become conditioned to accept Big Brother/Sister running their lives.
But that may be part of the root cause of what ills us.
Whether Big Brother/Sister wears a socialist hat or a fascist one.
Can I hear a black helicopter...

You gotta be shitting me.

I read a book about just such a total collapse.
Guess what?
Conseravtives win.
The name of the book is Patriots by James Wesley.

I plan on burning the corpses of liberals in my fireplace to heat my home.

I am NEVER coming to your place, Tantal. The stench just on final approach would be absolutely hideous. I'd have to bathe in dead skunk stench just to make it smell better.

What happens? A buncha DUmmies starve. That's what happens.

Are you naturally that stupid? Or do you have to work at it?

Not to mention that the filters in your gas mask would be saturated within minutes (think toxic fumes).

I think the greater danger would be the narcotic effect of several of the chemicals in the smoke...

I have 115 acres of fields and woods,numerous rifles,plenty of ammo,equipment to work the land....
CC ladies will be invited. :-)

Recommend using one of those exterior wood furnaces for that. Don't ask.

Simple, DUmmie--you starve, and if you live long enough to get up to my neck of the woods, you get snared and sent to the camps to work the fields.
Next dumbass question?

Isn't it cute how they are making an effort to spell Marshall Law correctly??? :uhsure: :-)

"What happens in a total collapse of the economy?" .....evolution and intelligent design both become facts of life..... DUmmies die off either way.

In the event of a total economic collapse I start rounding up starving treehuggers to work in my greenhouses.
Since none of them support the 2nd ammendment the cool part is that I will be able to send out my 7 year old with his air rifle to round them up.
Then I sit on the porch in a white suit with a shotgun over my knees fanning my face with a straw hat and drinking Mohitos while a bunch of vegans harvest my spuds.
:-)

Make sure you make screaming noises as they pull the potatoes out of the ground.

If there's any hot ones, they should be put to "work" "pleasing" . . .
I'd better stop now, so as not to tip my wife off to my plan. :naughty: :naughty: :naughty:
She knows where the handguns and ammo are, however . . . :o

OH, NO! PLEASE. DON"T DO IT!
You would render everything in a 10 miles radius from your house as a toxic site. ALL LIFE within that area would be destroyed, and the surrounding area unfit for habitation!
The enviromental impact would make anything a globull warming activist could claim, no matter how extreme, read like a child's bedtime story!

I believe that "James Wesley" is "James Wesley Rawles." I hit SurvivalBlog.com pretty regularly.

The country folk will tell their kids about the cannibalism in the big cities during the collapse, so that they don't fall asleep during guard duty
