VIDEO Inside Information that a collapse is occurring.

Actually, I'm listening to this now. Every time folks use the 'inside information' I generally think yeah, sure.

This one is good. He's reporting the info folks are sending him of chronic shortages almost across the board and how it's stopping things from getting repaired/made.

It's basically an endless list - electrical grid, parts for vehicles, parts for household items, farmers and ranchers stopping because they can't get what they need, etc.

It's worth the time to listen, folks.

just to hitch hike on the "agricultural insights" reported above by SP1 . . . I've noticed several large tracts here locally that in prior years had been in corn (silage). at least 3 of these are currently on the market and those three total in excess of 400 acres. my neighbor across the road has told me hands down he's "getting OUT of the cow business" . . . too much difficulty - and - its becoming increasingly difficult on all fronts. the 3 tracts for sale above would suggest others here are feeling that same pinch and making similar "changes"

doesn't bode well for the future. the PLANNED PURPOSEFUL DESTRUCTION of AMERICA rolls on unchallenged and unopposed

I think of this as a wildfire ignited by Dems and globalist proxies, sure they wanted a controlled burn, just enough to advance their political agendas... but they ignighted the fire on dry ground with a very heavy fuel load, the winds came up and its gone out of control, its making its own winds and will soon scorch the entire globe.

This one is amazing and I just sent it to friends, that's because it isn't someone pontificating about how "everything is terrible," as TxGal said, he's just reading from e-mails people have sent in mostly from the US but a few international ones talking about what they are seeing or experiencing.

John Deere saying there would be no new equipment before 2023 and no parts to repair ANYTHING until then either caught my eye. Most farmers can not function without at least some modern equipment and a lot of that is made by John Deere.

Another one was someone who worked in insurance saying that cars and trucks are being written off with "minimal damage" because there are simply no parts for repairs.

A report from a Workers' Compensation Organization I recognized said that their companies are preparing for a recession followed by a Great Depression that is expected to last several years.

Other people have their hours cut or their factories shutting down, one e-mail mentions the lack of dye for medical procedures as we know happened to Dennis when his got canceled.

A rather terrifying and well-done report, much more worrying really than the usual "we're all gonna die, buy XYZ product" that so many of these videos boil down to.

Thanks for that info, Melodi. It's good to know that this video has substance that can be verified. I've about had it with all the woo and hair on fire reporting. Facts, just facts, please. Thanks, too, for the OP, parsonswife.

I told my housemate that I summarized this for that I had just about gotten to the point where I didn't watch very much of this stuff because I get really tired of someone I've never heard of and their "confidential sources," "gold or product pitches" and mostly boil down to, "it's gonna be bad, really bad."

Yeah, I kind of know it is gonna be bad, but seriously and practical on-the-ground feedback was priceless and of great value.

Exactly. Yep. Tired of all these confidential sources telling us about everything under the sun. I want facts, not woo or conspiracy theories, someone pushing an agenda, or someone trying to make a profit one way or another. The "hair on fire" is getting old.

Honestly...I take an ALT view re: all this. We throw around the word "collapse" like a DOOM novel...global trade halting, store shelves everywhere empty, internet and cellular down, no EBTs, no ATMs, empty gas pumps, full grid down, no water at the tap, food and fuel riots, etc.

I just don't see that happening, at least within the next 2 years. I see more of a steady descent to mediocrity in all phases of American life...real pain for the middle class, real pain for small to midsize businesses, and extreme pain for those living on fixed income/paycheck to paycheck. Lifestyles...CHANGING. I think TPTB know that they can't survive another depression, which is why I take this view. Like RaggedyMan said...a PLANNED PURPOSEFUL DESTRUCTION of AMERICA. TPTB aren't stupid...they hated Trump so much because he disrupted their plans...but Biden and his handlers are picking up right where the chocolate messiah left off...a slow descent to mediocrity all the while aggravating (and distracting us thru) all possible divisions thru their cultural marxist/green new deal playbook in government, the courts, media, education, law enforcement, psychology, even in houses of worship...so that we stay divided, unable to stop their agenda.

This summer is gonna suck...the next 2 years...maybe just MAYBE there will be enough pain that the tide can be turned...if only temporary.

Thanks for the video. Interesting.
I think you can add the start of the housing collapse to that. On my street there are now 2 houses for sale. Both of them look like repos. The first one finally cleaned up all the junk and the latest 3 houses from me has piles of trash strewn everywhere. People were snapping up houses around here no matter the price. So it escapes me how this class of people could afford them or qualify for that matter. I saw an article the other day about how there arnt as many sub prime loans this time around. Boy, you could have fooled me.

Chicago Man, a "collapse" doesn't have to be back to the Stone Age but as a person trained in both history and anthropology, I can assure you that these are typical signs of a potentially "desperate" situation coming down the road.

People living in Europe when the Western Empire was on a downward slope had almost two hundred years of "signs it was coming" but right towards the collapse of the urban towns, trade routes, and unified civilization; reports on "what is happening around the Empire" read a lot like those emails.

Even on the day, Rome was sacked for the last time, people were still buying and selling in the markets, going to church, going to the bathhouses, and the like. The price of grain had gone through the roof and a lot of "services" like water were not working as well as they used to, and many types of goods no longer made it into the city.

But few people expected the city to burn that day or the several other times that century that Rome was sacked until finally it was ruled by non-Romans and many Romans fled to the countryside. Even then, there were outposts in far-flung parts of the former empire where people's lives didn't change much for another 50 to 100 years until the new kids on the block burned down their villas if they hadn't organized some sort of self-defense or made agreements with local warlords.

I think at the moment, a lot of bankers and insurance companies are expecting something more like the "collapses" of the 1880s and the 1930s rather than the Fall of Rome. But what kills urban civilizations is the lack of food, and what kills the countryside is all-out famine.

It looks like we may be looking down a double-barrel of both, and like the Western Empire or Europe in the early 14th century (The Great Famine before The Black Death) things are coming apart slowly, until there may be too many holes for things to keep standing up and they start leaning sideways.

Don’t let the Piss Ants get you down…
Even though the sudden TEOTWAWKI collapse makes for a good prepper novel, the reality as a number of folks have pointed out is that the most likely event, and the one it appears we’re in, is the slow slide downhill.

Things that were once always and readily obtainable become hit or miss. You start going to the store with the mindset that certain things may be OOS and you’ll need to hit another store or two in order to get what you want/need.

Spaces on the store shelves become commonplace where previously, shelves were full. Trips for vehicle service take two or three visits to accomplish because the mechanic/shop doesn’t have or can’t get all the parts right away.

Our “money” is debased (even more and faster) making our ability to buy less and less, lifestyle choices begin to be made. Standards of living decline. Expectations change as a new reality sets in. Soon, we’ll have a military defeat that will alter our place in the world and change how we see that place.

Longterm questions abound about the political system and the structure of the “nation”. For better or worse, we’re just getting started on this voyage.

The dropping of a few nukes should about finish everything off. Looks like it's going that way..Putin isn't backing down against the Wests New World Order.

Oh...I hear ya...I'm not completely ruling another depression out...I`m just saying I'd be a somewhat surprised if TPTB let another one happen as serious as the last one.

How would we see it anyway? There won't be breadlines...they'll be folks in line at stores with their EBT cards. People are magically getting by not working now as it is...so we won't have hobo's asking for a meal in exchange for doing yardwork/farm work. Hate to say it...but this time its different...daddy gov will just keystroke some more FRNs and POOF! Problem solved, no plebs unable to buy food.

What I'm more concerned about is housing bubble part 2 taking out the financial system like the last one almost did. We were REALLY close to real capitulation when Lehman went tits up in 2008.

Piggybacking on that, here in Ireland there has been an increase in the theft of farm equipment, but this one caught my eye the other day.

Gardaí investigate theft of GPS from John Deere tractors

Gardaí in Co. Carlow are investigating the theft of GPS receivers from a number of John Deere tractors in the county last week.
Investigators in Bagenalstown in west Co. Carlow are seeking assistance from members of the public who might have any information regarding the theft, which occurred in the nearby Moanduff area of Old Leighlin, between Thursday (May 19) and Saturday (May 21).

As well as the GPS receivers, a monitor screen was also stolen from the cab of a John Deere self-propelled sprayer.
Gardaí in the area took to social media to highlight the incident and to seek information from the public.

It appears that the targeted machinery belongs to an agricultural contractor.
Gardaí noted: “This is specialised equipment used by farmers and agricultural contractors.
“The theft of this equipment has seriously impacted the agricultural contractor’s ability to provide a service to the local farming community, at a particularly busy time of the year with the start of the silage and cereal season,” the post also said.

“The items are of high value and are not readily replaceable.”
Gardaí called on the farming community, as well as other contractors, to be vigilant in the event that they are offered any equipment matching the description of the stolen items.
Farmers and contractors are also asked to share information of the theft “as widely as possible within their communities”.
Anyone with information that might lead to the recovery of the equipment is asked to contact Bagenalstown Garda Station on: 059 977 4120.

We have family friends in Iowa that have been cannibalizing tractor parts for well over a year now because spares no longer exist.

The collapse is just accelerating.

The US Air Force has been canibalizing parts for years. It just trickled down to everybody else.
This entire thing (civilian and military shortages) is a National Security issue.
So is throwing 40 billion buckaroonies to Ukraine.
We could mine material, tool up, and stop this shortage crap in its tracks with that much money. They know that, so the money went off CONUS.

Thanks to this thread, I now have another youtube site bookmarked. I like the ones who give several short videos rather than a single long one now and then, as it is easier to sneak in some viewing time without neglecting the things I should be doing.

Today I learned something new. I sort of knew what those purple streaks were that I'd see on trees and fences now and then, but I never thought to ask anyone for details. Now I wonder if I should ask at the feed/hardware store if they have any spray cans of purple paint? And maybe even a little leaflet, like they do with each year's hunting schedule?

This debacle was first ignited in '08 during the sub prime debacle. They tamped it down--todays heavy fuel load.
This list makes me sick omigod.
Heres one to add to the list.
I live in a very small town 1200 people--with our own water plant. I was on the city council for awhile. I resigned to take care of DS in his last days--was born with a host of health problems--he passed in 2019 just before the crap demic. So I still have contact with those yahoos.
Our water plant manager got word a few months ago that water polymers were in short supply--in short diatomaceous earth based water clarification chemicals.
He acquired a pallet load--enough to keep this small town going for a few months. After that who knows?
Get ready for some yuck looking water--and probably worse.

Been driving through God's country on my way back to Flake City to avoid the highway construction and stupid semis playing games with cars.
Lots of big fields not plowed. A couple of big parcels up for sale. One sold recently that is 60+ acres.

Disheartening to say the least.

...

Are they being stolen, or are they being removed by people that saw what happened in Ukraine and Russia when one of the Tractor Manufacturers (I believe it was John Deere), REMOTELY SHUT DOWN ALL OF THE "STOLEN" FARM EQUIPMENT and traced it's location to where it was left?

I'm thinking that the farmers in other parts of the world are seeing what is coming and getting rather Tech Savvy...

I would suggest that EVERYONE get as "Tech Savvy" as possible, and do it as quickly as possible. The command and control that they have planned is almost all digital, and connected. Panopticon Plantation.

GYSER, folks. Time is short.

I live in corn county (SW Illinois) and I am seeing vast fields that are being left alone. This is highly unusual.

And I’m talking about thousands and thousands of acres.

I bought the last remaining repair kits for my john deere backhoe attachment that were left in the entirw country..they no longer make the arrachement or parts.


The deep screwing is just getting started.

Please be ready.
We needed parts for one of our JD tractors. Couldn't find them anywhere, and the JD dealership can't get them either. Thankfully, we have a big farming community and found what we need.

This entire thing (civilian and military shortages) is a National Security issue.

Back when the civilian hummers came out I was working at the dealership in Anchorage that picked them up. We became “friends” with the base, because so many parts would interchange and supply channels were different. I still remember getting a royal a$$ chewing from a sergeant out there when parts were on back order. He wound up with something like “it’s a national security issue, and what do you think we’ll do if you don’t have this part?”
I said, maybe get it through proper channels? He did not like that..
