should be on everyone&#8217;s mind right now.\u00a0 My family&#8217;s plan was to move to a quieter place away from big cities where there are abundant sources of clean air, clean water and food as well as a modest climate so we were not so reliant on fossil fuels.\u00a0 Another thing that I found interesting about Panama was that during the Noriega years when the banks shut down, people here in the Chiriqui province started bartering for goods and services, a system that actually worked during those crisis times. <\/span><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG \/>

style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black;\">For over a decade, we&#8217;ve predicted that the Great Unravelling would take place in phases: there would be initial crashes followed by a false recovery, then a series of major crashes followed by a long, painful trip to the bottom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black;\">Along the way, the entire order of power around the globe would change dramatically. In addition, fiat currencies would ultimately collapse, and the period would be marked with tyranny and turmoil, dramatic inflation, a gold mania, currency and migration controls, confiscation of assets, and food riots. Quite a list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black;\">Doug Casey has described the false recovery period as &#8220;the eye of the hurricane,&#8221; a term that he first began using in 2010. Most of us who have shared his view (Doug included) believed that the turning point\u2014the point at which we exited the eye and re-entered the hurricane\u2014would have occurred sooner than now. But we were premature. He has said, &#8220;I often confuse inevitable with imminent.&#8221; He&#8217;s not alone. Each of us who have made similar predictions have been premature with regard to the timing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black;\">So, why should I now suggest that the turning point may be imminent?

he was often dismissed. The term he coined was just a bit too accurate to be digestible by most people: a depression like the Great Depression, only of greater magnitude. Ridiculous; impossible\u2026 yet it is coming to pass.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black;\">So, if, indeed, we are right at the tipping point, what will that mean in practical terms?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black;\">Over the years, I&#8217;ve stated repeatedly that, as we enter the third and most catastrophic phase of the Greater Depression, <em><span style=\"font-family: &amp;amp;amp;\">&#8220;Events will increase in both velocity and magnitude.&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black;\">I cannot overemphasize the importance of this statement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black;\">As we move back into the hurricane, the events will be of greater velocity and magnitude than they have been, as governments become ever-more desperate and the tension between governments mounts. As each jurisdiction announces each desperate move to save it from drowning (severe tariffs, military interventions, currency devaluations, etc.), other jurisdictions will provide knee-jerk reactions in order to survive. The ball will get bounced back and forth, ever more violently, until the point of collapse is reached.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black;\">And, at the bottom, what is the world likely to look like?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black;\">Well, for a start, there will be great turmoil. As some jurisdictions lose a portion of their power (over both other jurisdictions and their own people), we can expect extreme unrest, disorder, and violence. Martial law will most certainly be proclaimed in several jurisdictions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black;\">As currencies fail, new ones will be created quickly, but may not be accepted. Black markets are a virtual certainty. Food and fuel will be in short supply in some countries for brief periods, and possibly for extended periods. Riots are likely to occur spontaneously, like popcorn, across the map, with food riots being the most critical.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black;\">Lines on maps are likely to change as sovereign nations fragment. Turf wars are likely to become common. Changes in the leadership of countries is likely to occur frequently as opposing groups vie for control. (Think: Argentina in December of 2001, when there were five presidents in the course of one month.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black;\">And what does this mean to the individual? It means that, in many countries, life could be very unpredictable and very dangerous. The wisest course of action might be for those who feel that they will be close to the fray, to have a &#8220;Plan B,&#8221; in case it becomes necessary to be elsewhere for a time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black;\">To do so would mean that since, by that time, capital controls are likely to be in place, an emergency stash would <em><span style=\"font-family: &amp;amp;amp;\">already<\/span><\/em> need to be in place in a jurisdiction that is well away from the turmoil. And a place to stay would need to have been researched and made available, should it become necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black;\">Should the reader believe that he presently lives in a risky location, he would want to be prepared to the extent that all he need do in the case of sudden dramatic change would be to stuff some clothes into a carry-on, lock the door, and say goodbye until the emergency period blows over.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black;\">The time we have been predicting for the last decade or so appears to be quite close now. As any farmer in Kansas would attest, when the twister is on the horizon and clearly heading his way, it is time to prepare\u2014to bring in the lawn chairs, shutter up the house, and get some provisions down into the root cellar. If the twister passes by, little will have been lost, but if the twister indeed hits, the preparation could prove essential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings>
