I think you have it a bit backwards.

We have been hearing for decades that social security will be broke after the first wave of boomers starts retiring. Which started happening a while ago. IMHO, SS going broke is the first part of "collapse." They knew it was coming, and have known for a very long time.

The Great Reset was a way to capitalize on this collapse and make it work for those in charge. So they implemented c0vid and the death jabs for depop. And don't forget "wars" to fill up the coffers of politicos and their friends in Big Mil. Plus... more depopt. And... rampant government spending. Because they never intend on paying it back. Next up? CBDCs. And so on.

"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade."

Don't let them make lemonade. The very least each one of us can do is use cash at every opportunity, as well as checks. Don't. Feed. The. Beast.

I would add, make sure you own real stuff, without mortgages or financing....

If you've read/seen "The Great Taking," you might conclude that none of that will make any difference.

It's also worth remembering that, when the current US dollar was created in 1933 after the bankruptcy of the US and the dissolution of the federal government, "The new money (paper promissory notes) is issued to the banks in return for Government obligations, bills of exchange, drafts, notes, trade acceptances, and banker’s acceptances. The new money will be worth 100 cents on the dollar, because it is backed by the credit of the nation. It will represent a mortgage on all the homes and other property of all the people in the Nation.” Senate Document No. 43, 73rd Congressional Record, 1st Session.

So, even if you think you "own" real stuff, that real stuff is collateral for the national debt.

I recently finished reading The Great Taking by David Rogers Webb. Very scary read how this can be done taking everything you have when things go south. Make sure you have paid your debts - mortage, car, etc., pay it off now if possible!

Yes, the whole thing is a monumental scandal. Although I agree with you that re-paying debt is a good idea, if possible, it may not protect you completely (or at all?) from The Taking.

I suppose we will find out soon enough! We know the next crash will be much worst than 1929 crash. I'm surprised this criminal system has lasted this long.

No, the collapse is going to be caused by the hyperinflation of the currencies. The Japanese yen will probably lead the way, followed by all the others in quick succession. When it happens, it will be sudden. Most people will be blind-sided. It could happen this year, or even this quarter. It's a house of cards.
