The Land of the Zombies


What gets me when I read articles such as this one from Bernard Hickey and Labour finance spokesman David Parker is their disconnect from reality and their utter naivete.
In Greece towns have to feed prisoners on a volunteer basis otherwise they starve. Their military on their bases are running out of food. Their power grid is on the verge of collapsing, they don't have medicines any more and yesterday Spain announced it needs a bail out for their banks and Italy is one the way.
That means that in two months their prisoners are going to be starving and their power grids will be on the way out.
Here is a nice chart which shows how much money is needed and how much is available. No money, no food, no power grid.
No power grid means no water, no food (as in no fridges) and there is on average perhaps one to two days of food in the supermarkets but according to the baltic dry index global trade is taking another huge hit indicating that the unsustainable system of trying to feed a population with food grown halfway across the planet is collapsing.
All major countries reinstated their border controls some time ago in order to prevent large population movements.
People in need of water and food do not think of flatscreen TV's and that is an understatement.
People in need of water die within three days and those in need of food turn to cannibalism in a week.
We are not talking about a depression here. Take Holland for example (recently downgraded too).
Holland's population is 17 million people. The country produces nothing as all their factories have been moved to China (which by the way is collapsing too). In order to feed the population the country needs a bout 70 times more arable land than it currently has. It imports everything it needs from South America, Africa and other countries with a surplus of land and produce.
As our current financial system collapses under the weight of the Derivatives bubble the money flow created as debt will dry up (See Greece as example) and people will start to die. It is that simple.
That is the reality of Europe and America (100 million unemployed) and China (Bejing alone 50% more empty houses than the entire US).
There will be no soft landing. There will be starvation, social mayhem as the global population plunges back to what the globe can actually sustain and a rude awakening that perhaps flat screen TV's and the latest video game are not as important as the TV ads made them out to be.
Unless... unless every Nation takes back its own money printing system and starts investing in their populations own infrastructures to revive economies locally. But with agenda 21 waiting in the wings that is not going to happen. Our leaders don't want that. They want us dead. To them we are Cockroaches and useless eaters.
