Civil war, Blue/Reds, gangs mayoring city's. etc.
There's ya rfid-support.
That'll make the blade cut on both side's. Depopulating and raising some people onto a higher plane...the 666 plane that could be.
Finally room for some actuall fundamentalism, in that reli-cult drenched continent.
Climate issues boiled out, means less people, less demand /pollution etc.
So that conclusion be allot more honest than make people believe in energy saving or lifelonglasting lightbulbs.

What we all will need to ensure freedom, liberty and economic growth and yes also a healthy environment is the oppossite of big government and that requires Austrian economics. The Dutch should say good bye to there welfare state as we now it to secure our own economic growth, liberty and future.
check Ron Paul's his views, check Gerald Celente, Peter Schiff and - check Wikipedia for crony capitalism which is identical to corporatism = Polder model = Fascism = central economic planning

luister naar dit...in amerika veel studerten heb een grote debt over capitalishe in het onderwerpen gemaakt. Het is een voorbelt erg prima.
healthcare, and living costs. It is the people profiteering on suffering that is making many extremely rich and others poor.our students in america work full time in college & still come out with a huge debt. they fucked us with commericalism, degraded education, and false belief in the benefits of capitalism way too much to the point of fascism.

Wrong on one point. The dollar will collapse due to the overspending of Barack Obama and - the great depression will be on the hands of this president.

What he could or should do is quit spending on the American Empire; withdraw from Afghanistan, Iraq, change foreign policy, stop policing the world. Nationaliza the Fed and end the Fed. Later we in Europe should stop the spending of the Eurocrats and quit spending on the illegal war on terror

on other point will be that the all paper or digital money will not be worth much at all, the other central gangsters (bankers) will buy more dollars or ditch the dollar all together but will print more money which will inflate prices in Europe and finally we will follow the US. It is simply not an issue of money but what kind of political system do you want, an Empire or an Republic that does not over spent and follows Austrian Economics instead of Keynesian economics as we all do now.

Saddam started trading oil in Euros rather than Dollars, which is known as the world reserve currency, Since we havent a monopoly on Euros like we do on dollars, did the people losing profits decide to put crosshairs on hussein once again.
