Why the US Cannot Be Saved
Why the US Cannot Be Saved
Dave Hodges
January 25, 2014
The people that work here, own you.
I receive many emails from well-intentioned and intelligent readers who hold up Iceland as a shining example of what America must do in order to save herself. I agree, in principle with the people who wrote to me that we should emulate Iceland. The Icelanders have demonstrated tremendous resilience, courage and vision to overcome and, at least temporarily, defeat the banksters while restoring their economy.
The people of Iceland have more courage in their little finger than America has in its entire being. Iceland’s financial failure forced its government to resign or be removed, and it also caused citizens to re-evaluate the merits of their reckless spending, borrowing and consumption. Just how did Iceland do it?
Iceland’s President Olafur Ragnar Grimmson was interviewed earlier this year at the World Economic Forum in Davos on why Iceland has enjoyed such a strong recovery after it’s complete financial collapse in 2008, while the rest of the West is still mired in debt, poverty and hopelessness to go with empty promises of an economic recovery.
When asked whether Iceland’s policy of letting the banks fail would have worked in the rest of Europe, Grimsson stated:
“… Why are the banks considered to be the holy churches of the modern economy? Why are private banks not like airlines and telecommunication companies and allowed to go bankrupt if they have been run in an irresponsible way? The theory that you have to bail-out banks is a theory that you allow bankers enjoy for their own profit their success, and then let ordinary people bear their failure through taxes and austerity. People in enlightened democracies are not going to accept that in the long run. …“
Imagine that, let the banks fail! Let the criminal bankers take the same risk as any other business venture. Can we imagine Obama ever speaking this way in public? In fact, if the United States was Iceland, President Obama, John McCain, Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Lindsay Graham, Hillary Clinton, Valerie Jarrett, G.W. Bush, G. H. W. Bush, Lloyd Blankfein, Tim Geithner, Hank Paulson, Jon Corzine, Peter Sutherland, Ben Bernanke, et al., would all be in prison.
And nearly six years later, where is Iceland at today? In just the first year following the repudiation of the debt, the Icelanders economy grew by 2.6%. Banks failed, bankers and politicians were jailed and these brave people wrestled control of their lives back.
If the Icelanders could get their hands on Goldman Sachs officials they would. They impeached and convicted corrupt politicians who were in league with Wall Street, many of whom are serving prison sentences. Iceland is on its way to a full economic recovery while still saying no to the corrupt Goldman Sachs influences in Europe. Iceland is saying no to the Bank of International Settlement. Iceland is a beacon of hope for the rest of the G20 nations including the United States. Yet, the courage on display by the Icelanders will never be on display in the United States.
Americans Aren’t Icelanders
There are a number reasons that America will never throw off the shackles of the Bastards from Basel. First and foremost, we, as a country, are just too plain stupid. Through repeated and failed education programs, such as Goals 2000, No Child Left Behind and now the substandard Common Core, Americans lack the basic sense to organize against anything, much less a virulent pack of banksters.
Additionally, at the end of the day, the Icelanders victory will prove to be inconsequential and very temporary. When the international forces align against Iceland for some contrived excuse, their government will collapse like a house of cards and the banksters will be back in control. We have seen it in Egypt, Libya and soon it will be Iceland’s turn.
The Duck Dynasty worshiping, American Idol watching country can’t even find England on a map 65% of the time. A whopping 80% cannot find Iraq on a map, 55% cannot name the Vice President and America reads nearly two whole grade levels lower than they did only a 40 years ago. In short, the rank and file of our citizenry lacks the intelligence to organize their collective shoes in the closet.
Change can be painful and America has become a soft nation. We are not only an ignorant nation, we are the most obese nation on the planet. Most of the people in this country could not fight their way out of a wet paper bag. My military sources tell me that there have been serious discussions among the military leadership about how they would fight a guerrilla war against the bankster occupation forces which will consist mostly of the Chinese and the Russians. What is holding them back is that they do not feel that they can count on the support from the rank and file of this population. The military believes that maybe, on a good day, 2-3% of the adult males would stand with dissident military forces. I never thought I would write this, but the American people are no tougher than the French and the French haven’t won a war in over 200 years.
I do expect that the factions of the military are going to rise and put up some resistance. However, no revolution can be successful without the support of the people.
Conclusion
Well-intentioned people write to me and tell me how 250 million gun owners are going to throw off the chains of slavery. If that were going to happen, it would have happened nearly six years ago. In 2008, the banksters, led by Hank Paulson, helped themselves to our nation’s money and our economy went into free fall. And what did we do to stop the greatest bank robbery in world history? We did nothing!!! Subsequently, we are a defeated nation. With the growing foreign troop presence and the rise of America’s version of the East German Stasi (aka the DHS), we are also an occupied nation. Americans have lost the war and most are unaware that anything has even happened. Hillary Clinton is selling off the assets of this country to the Chinese. The EPA is stealing a million acres of land at a time. Your retirements, IRA’s and bank account will soon be gone. And what will most of America do, change the channel and open another beer.
This is why my analyses and subsequently my writing style changed to more of an adaptation approach. Americans need to be worried about having enough resources to survive the induced social chaos that is coming. Our people must also be able to defend their resources. And finally, you and your family need to develop strategies on how to avoid being induced or forced to into a detention camp. These events are not far away.If you do not know how to pray, now is the time to learn.
SUCH A GREAT ARTICLE, BUT THE SHEEP ARE ASLEEP, THANK YOU FOR TRYING!
That’s right, Americans are so freakin stupid and they will stay that way.
A recent Forbes report stated that the average IQ of Americans are now just below 102. 20 years ago it was 108.
Australia is currently 118, 20 years ago it was at 110.
Americans becoming the dimmest nation on earth!
Just talk to them, you’ll see what I mean.
Well put and truth spoken, americans haven become to involved in their own little world of facebooking, twittering and the duck dynasty escapade. I have never in my entire life seen a more dumb and stupid people. I am ashamed to have lived this era. The history books will be written and we will be the laughing stock, our future generations will pass by grave sites and anyone who lived and died in these times will have theirs graves spat on and desecrated!. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES FOR KILLING YOU’RE UNBORN KIDS, GRAND CHILDRENS FUTURE!. You are right!, this country is too far gone for it to be saved. It would be a miracle if it was saved, A TRUE MIRACLE!. As far as 250 million gun owners?, forget about that! they are already lining up to register their weapons and we all know what comes after that. Might as well just hand them you’re guns now and saved the trouble. COWARDS!.
An excellent article. Sad, but true. Only about 35 percent of the American people are truly awake and aware. Of the 35 percent, 3 percent will actually man up with guns and conduct a Guerrilla war against the Tyrannical System. We should have started Guerrilla operations 7 years ago.
Have any of you considered the possibility that the “world” is a wicked place? Think about this. You can invest in all sorts of products that cause all sorts of physiological and psychological problems for people, then make a profit from it? And to top it off, those who do this cast off their responsibility in creating these problems by proclaiming its a persons choice to use or not use these damaging and ultimately deadly products! A perfect example is the Marlboro Man who has now died from the very products he used and promoted! You capitalists are wicked, man, wicked!
The “induced social chaos” is a product of the capitalist economic mindset that rules this world, of which the banks have always been a part. Some would argue that creating a new economic system using electronic “money” is the solution but, who’s behind the scenes looking to CAPITALIZE on the manufactured OPPORTUNITY? The same bunch who created the capitalist monetary system that uses physical “money”! If anyone is stupid, its those who buy into the lie that the emerging “cashless” electronic monetary system is going to solve the problems that have always plagued humanity!

As long as they can get their hands on guns (or dope), they feel safe. Nor do they have qualms about killing their fellow men if they are enraged, jealous or simply pissed off. Says a hell of a lot about them!
More drivel from the resistance is futile Crowd. Don’t kid your self Dave. There may be a bunch of hunter gatherers where you are but not so in the Heartland . America is a vast place . To make a blanket statement about our willingness or un willingness to fight is painting with a pretty big brush. The big cities on the East and West Coast are filled with idiots and Communist Sympathizers. While the South and Mid West are filled with millions of armed to the teeth Patriots . Who are only waiting for the first blood to be drawn. Then you will see a side of America not seen since Lexington and Concorde . Keep talking about the wimpy American People old Buddy. And we will keep stockpiling ammo and weapons and food to kick their asses with. LOL
It must be the water.
Then again, a nation that forgets God will soon be forgotten.
More than We The People being stupid, I believe they are uninformed by the MSM who is not doing the job they were designed to do. Yes, many of The People are asleep, but I can see an awakening happening. And, it can’t happen soon enough. I, for one, am not throwing in the towel…it isn’t over until the fat lady sings!
