THE CATHOLIC KNIGHT: The video is not intended to panic you. It is intended to jolt you awake. This above account of the future is fictional, but it is based on real trends and historical examples. Yes, this is the trajectory the United States is on. Yes, this could very well become our future.
We cannot know if things will happen this fast. It is all together possible that such a chain of events could happen within a day, or a week, or even a month. Any one of these time tables would be a catastrophe. Or we could see a more controlled and managed decline of the dollar over a period of years. That's not good either, but it's a lot better than the above crash-inflation scenario. Slow and gradual inflation gives people a little more time to react, breath and make adjustments little by little. Crime will likely increase under gradual inflation, but widespread panic and chaos in the streets will not likely be the case. We can only hope and pray for the latter scenario, but we should likely prepare for the former just in case.
There are many things we cannot know about the future, but there are some things we can know and we do know. The United States dollar has declined rapidly over the last year, is declining right now as I'm writing this, and it will continue to decline considerably for a very long time. Before the end of the decade, our small children now will be dealing with American dollars that are on par with Mexican pesos by the time they are grown, that is if they're still using dollars at all by then. Yes, the American dollar is collapsing, and it will continue to collapse. This we know for sure. There is no doubt, no debate, no question about it. It is a fact. It is sure. So we better learn to deal with it.
We also know that with this dollar decline, the United States federal government is going to have to make some radical changes in the way it does things, or else it's currency decline will be followed by a political decline. In other words, if the American republic wants to stay in business for another generation or two, it's going to have to balance it's checkbook. The first thing to go will be the American hegemony overseas. Military bases will have to be closed. Troops will need to be brought home. Strategic bombing campaigns will have to be suspended. That is, if our leaders are smart enough to deal with reality. If they're not, and they think they can somehow bomb our way back into prosperity, than we're going to be in for a whole new set of problems. The second thing to go will be our current entitlement program. America's welfare state (which includes Social Security) takes up the majority of all federal spending. It will have to be seriously cut back, and this will come just as the nation's "baby boomers" reach retirement age. Seeking to meet it's obligations to America's senior citizens, it is all together likely that the nation's welfare recipients will be completely thrown under the bus. That is, if our leaders are dealing with real numbers. If they're not, and they think they can just use the crisis to expand the welfare state instead, than total political collapse will be just around the corner. The third thing to go will be the federal governments bureaucracy, as Washington D.C. will need to go through a massive down-sizing. Tens of thousands of government employees will be laid off. Entire offices and departments will close. Power will be shifted back to the states, where it belongs, as the federal government will have to learn how to live with less. That is, if our leaders understand what's happening. If they don't, and they think they can use the fiscal crisis to grow and expand government, than they're in for one hell of a surprise!
Politically a few things need to happen to make the best out of a bad situation. Any talk about avoiding the coming financial meltdown is fantasy land. It is coming, and indeed it is already here. The only question is how fast will it come, and will we have time to react and make enough adjustments to ease the pain. The first thing that we the people need to do politically is disassociate with the two-party political system (Democrat and Republican) that currently rules this nation. The second thing we need to do is call for an emergency constitutional convention to put forward the following amendments to the U.S. Constitution....
- The sixteenth amendment is repealed. No entity of the federal government shall have the power to tax private income.
- The seventeenth amendment is repealed. One of each state's two senators shall henceforth be appointed by the governors of the states. The other shall be appointed by each state's legislature.
- The Federal Reserve System is abolished. The value of the United States dollar shall be fixed to the measure of a commodity. Congress shall enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
- The office of president shall be extended to an eight year term, and shall be limited to one term per office holder. This article shall go into effect during the term of the next president sworn into office following ratification of this article by the states.
- Congress shall not introduce legislation for a final vote until it has first stated it's constitutional authority to enact such legislation.
- The federal government shall not intervene in a state's legal efforts to protect human life.
- The federal government shall not intervene in a state's legal efforts to protect the institution of marriage.
- No portion of this constitution may be misconstrued to prohibit the free exercise of religion on public or private property, and agencies of the federal government shall not manipulate the free speech of religious clergy through tax exemption or property liens.
- The size of the House of Representatives, and the number of members therein, cannot be limited without constitutional amendment.
- Each state shall retain the right of secession from this federal union, by means of popular vote consisting of no less than fifty-five percent of the voting electorate in said state, provided the registered voter turnout was no less than a fifty percent.

Dear Catholic Knight,
the US would do well to emulate Australia's policy of compulsory voting at all Local, State and Federal elections for citizens (and permanent residents) 18 years and over When the whole adult populous votes, results are less skewed. Additionally, if the ballot is truly secret, in which a voter's preferences ARE NOT recorded against their Electoral Roll details, fairness is preserved. Australia has also rejected the use of voting machines for its elections,.
Sir Knight, take heart; crunch the demographic figures and you will quickly see that the secular atheist and liberal appetite-feeding scourge is breeding itself out even when second and third generation migrant birthrates settle down to more closely mirror those of the surrounding population. All a group needs is a birthrate advantage of just 1-1.5 children per family above the surrounding population to gain a long-term advantage over a 50-80 year period as evidenced with the growth of Amish/Menonite populations in the US and Canada, EVangelical Lutheran populations over the past 80-100 years in finland and Germany, Dutch Reformed populations over a similar period in the Netherlands, orthodox Anglican, Catholic, Jewish and additional protestant groups who if not in total, limit their use of contraceptives (often utilizeing natural family planning (which works, demonstrated by the fact that it is also recognized as a very effective tool in the treatment of some instances of human infertility where male and female biology is not a contributing factor) worldwide. Even accounting for an attrition rate of one in three (which is almost unheard of as these communities remain strong and perpetuate themselves healthily in the face of the surrounding secular liberal and/or atheist society) they will still continue to be on top.
This is most clearly seen in Israel. Prior to 1960, around 3% of all children in israeli schools were orthodox Jews. This has risen to a figure of 30% in 2009/2010 (and continues to grow). Eventually, as numbers of traditional faithful rise, they will be mirrored in the shifting population inhabiting the public square and professional sphere. I think a close eye on Gen. Z and Gen. Alpha will prove most interesting over the next decade or so, as will those born today. When the public once again owns and is enabled by the culture of life, rather than the culture of death, having taken the culture of life to itself wholeheartedly, we will be able to look back at the past 40-45 years as nothing but a terrifying nightmare that the world will sooner or later awaken from. But meanwhile, those of us who remain faithful to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, His teachings and the Word of God will pine, ache and pain deeply at the Orwellian-Huxlian disgrace that calls itself post modern democracy that we are constrained to endure.
The fall of the US dollar is making importation and external travel very sweet for we in Australia, whose currency buys about $1.07US per $AU1. Our boffins predict that our currency will climb to $1.10US within the next 12 months.
Our farmers and miners are hurting but as commodity prices rise also, Aus will cash in - sorry to say.
It is imperitive that worldwide, we strengthen our Parish and local communities, plus our extended family relational ties so that when the fertilizer hits the rotating device, those most vulnerable - the elderly, frail, those with disabilities, widows and orphans - will be cared for when current state support mechanisms fail.

I would like to suggest an additional amendment, this taken from the constitution of the Confederate States of America:
"Every law, or resolution having the force of law, shall relate to but one subject, and that shall be expressed in the title."
Boy I tell you, I know so many people with their heads in the sand. I could show this video to them and it wouldn't make a single impact.

This won't take until the end of 2012 to happen. Rather expect it in 2011. Those who control the world behind the scenes must set the stage for the one world government, which is nothing more than the kingdom of satan on the earth, run by the antichrist. Since the western world has worshiped the idol via consumerism, then God will take all that away - now.
Mr Knight, as i cautioned once before, the mere transferring of power over many national matters to the states will not be any better a solution. I dont know about your state, but mine is a hotbed of corruption, mismanagement and out of sight spending and taxation.Failing schools, crumbling roads, crime, etc. The legislature is in the hip pocket of the goons, err, unions for teachers, civil servants, etc. It doesnt necessrily follow that state govt is "closer to the people" H-burg is a kingdom of its own, even though we have a pro life, fiscal and social conservative Gov. And dont get me started on local govt. Philly is the corruption capital of America.
