  • Riots by who?

    Re: negative interest rates-




    I think there’s going to be a major revolt… If we actually do see negative interest rates in North America… we’re going to see riots"
    Really? WHO is going to riot?

    Let me cue him in on a few things- I'm early 40's, very few "normal" people may age and below have that much money period right now. Not "money in the stock market." Not, "money in the bank", but MONEY PERIOD.

    Typically what population segment is the ones starting things, fighting, etc? Historically, it's usually the below 30'ish younger crowd







    So who as a large population segment HAS any money for these sobs to steal? The near retirement age or the already retired population segment. THEY are going to "riot in the streets?" Is he expecting "Gray Dawn?"



    Surely TPTB have thought this through as the next big "heist" that they pull. Stopping/slowing welfare freebees? Hell no, they won't do that, those folks actually WILL riot. Steal some crap from the old folks that are too old, broken, set in life to fight back? Oh definitely they will do that. And the other major demographic, the 30 and 40 somethings still working, trying to sock a few dollars away, yeah we will get hit too, but will we "riot in the streets" over it? No, we will probably just stash more in cash and trust the gubmint even less (possible?? LOL)

    I've heard so many financial guys say that the poor interest rates the last ten years have hurt the fixing to retire and already in retirement phase folks. Why? Cause .01% is crap and they have to get some market exposure, take more risk to get a better return. In doing so many have lost in 08 and again recently. And quite possibly, they will lose again here soon.

    I think it's time to break into the rest home and get some reinforcements.

    "Hi Clara, the revolution has come. Would you like a gun?"

    "Oh yes dear thanks."
    Boris- "He's famous, has picture on three dollar bill!"

    Rocky- "Wow! I've never even seen a three dollar bill!"

    Boris- "Is it my fault you're poor?"

    I agree with you on principal. BUT look at Jefferson Mo., 1968 Detroit, Boston etc. The Greeks when the gov took 30% of every ones money. It could just be a reason that other people could promote into a riot that could turn into a revolt of some kind. Or at least violence on a wide spread scale. Of course then it depends on the gov response to it. Their are a lot of groups out there in and out of gov that would like to see it. Only my 2 cents worth. Wide spread unrest with the enactment of severe Fema/DHS response could enflame the whole thing. We are close to 20 trillion in debt who is going to pay it. US. That is not going to make the rank in file regular people happy. Heck students cause havoc on campus when someone writes TRUMP on the side walk, how much would it take to push them over the edge. OKAY it is more then 2 cents. But I would not dismiss out of hand.
    Think 401k made up of bullets, beans, trading stuff. Kinda like commodities.

      Good points.

      But a college student has essentially "nothing to lose" (psychologically), whereas a "comfortable" happy 40, 50 or 60 something is thinking "oh I don't want to get in trouble at this stage of life."

      I think that's what the PTB are counting on.

          during the greek riots... I was watching tv... the lines in the street were about 8 to 10 wide. hollering, screaming, carrying signs.
          acting like democrats. the tv camera swept as far down the street as it would go in both directions. the line of marchers was huge. they set fire to a bank. this was in their own country, town, state.
          the bank symbolized their plight.
          there was a man, a woman and a pregnant woman that burnt up that day.
          the fire dept came to put out the fire.
          the crowd of greeks wouldn't let the fire dept cross their line.
          the rioting crowd moved on down the street and a new crowd of marchers walked by the bank watching it burn.

          folks, what struck me so strong was that greeks have been reading, writing, and doing arithmetic for thousands of years.
          they've had religion for thousands of years. (not all of it good!) this was not headhunting cannibals from the jungles and swamps.

          I went to an ems director and rev'd the question with him. he was clear.. the fire dept. can not harm one person to save another. in his county, the fire dept would do the same as the greeks. sit there and watch the bank burn if the marchers wouldn't move.

            To me, this looks like a scare tactic article to sell precious metals. We've been seeing stuff like this for years. Good logical points, but I'm not buying into it.

              We are close or at 20 trillion dollars in debt. Who is going to pay it. We the people, one way or another. What a great way to enact the federal fema acts that are on the books. PANIC.!!! ASK your local state EMS guy about that. I was a fema rep for 3 counties and a college for 5 years, it is scary if he tells the truth. I never said buy gold or silver, not a bad idea though , you just can't eat it or shoot a rabbit with it.

                Oh this could definitely happen, and there is historical precedence to it- Cyprus, Greece, etc.

                My point of contention was will people really "riot" over it? And WHO will riot? The 20 something that is going to lose the $14.47 he has in his account? Grandma and Grandpa too old with too much to lose to riot?

                    If the free money stops. Those on it Will. College kids might but not all. This depends on the college and area. The people in the middle are who Will react once those riots/mobs start to interfere with life (aka jobs ) ...
                    Then sides will be taken...and you'll see the occasional nothing to lose type drop that match on the gas leak...then that's when The fun starts.

                    But I don't see us going the way of Greece just yet...it's all slowly simmering now. From the gov allowing groups like blm to do their thing..to colleges allowing red supported sit ins/protest on groups that are conservative in nature.

                    We are what I'd say is a pre season game warm up...we still got time before the super bowl starts.......but better start stretching now.....

                      Protus? don't you think that the gov/BLM might cause groups to become more upset with the way they take property.? Also don't you think that the way gov takes knee jerk , over reactions to events could cause unrest. An example would be banning all semi auto rifle /pistols , would this fire up groups to resist to cause over reach of gov. If an event happens that gives the illusion of firearm misuse or disaster , that the big O thinks justifies it, FEMA rules could allow the taking of almost anything you own, pending court action , just a thought as no sitting pres has done it yet. But I agree it is warming up.

                        For me, we are off the scale on my factoring over the decades... From a Socialist Presidential candidate that has stirred up the younger college generation (idiots that most are) to a candidate who promises the moon and make everything great... Everything is off my measure scale. I really have no clue how all of this will rip at the seams, and it will, unless the Cabal truly wins and society globally transforms for a long time to come...

                          Well...
                          Thing is this.
                          While Fed (insert agency of choice ) does X ..it only annoys X faction.
                          So...one month it's up roar about land grabs over spotted buffalo turd jays...the next a Hispanic Jew cop shoots a ghetto thug hands up....
                          The next IRS says illegals with stolen SS numbers are legit...

                          Point is if you stir the pot enough it gets pretty cloudy and hard to see.

                          Devided we fall....right.....

                          Its the plan...
