    I only came back to Hubpages because I could not find anyone the first time, who cares if a million children were killed the Middle East.

    Now I can hardly find anyone who even cares if the American dollars collapses and millions of Americans will die too. If American don't even respect themselves, why should I care if they perfer suicide. I"m leaving this whole Northern Hemisphere because I won't die here for people who don't care enough for nature, others and most of all themselves.

    I've had serious nightmares for 5 years about America violent disaster ticking time bomb. it will be worse than the great depression to come.

    I"ve tried my very best to pull some heads out of the sand at no prevail and feel nonsense to continue.  Only hope I will excape in time to save my own ass in Bolivia at least you confirmed my right decision.

    It's sad the grimrepper wins and nothing I can imagine to do now, when no one cares enough..

      It s kind of foolish to argue this one I know , but America will be the last one standing Castle  ,   If not, then why in the world does everyone IN the entire world either want  to be here , come here , send their children to us  , or they want massive connections to our consumerist economy .  I suggest , Much like yourself Castle , safely just over the border so that your ego can claim  a choice of disconnection , that everyone needs America more than we need them ! 

      America is still the "good guy", everyone looks to  !

          Lol

          Australia also could be a safe Haven. Just the dollar can effect them too. In Bolivia my Canadain dollar is worth more than America $. They make American pay extra for everything and often won't give  them jobs.

          Ever since US World bank charges Bolivian 25% of their income for water, even including rain water, which most could not pay for and live.

          They have been kicking the banks asses out of their country ever since they tried the steal their very life sources, water.

          How greedy and stupid is that?

            You talk a lot of sense, CP.  I know your grammar is sometimes not quite right, but what you are meaning to say comes over fine
            To my way of thinking, and of course people are free to disagree, there is a sort of collective inferiority complex in the USA. It comes over in the expression of patriotism, which can seem exaggerated sometimes.  Political Correctness tends to avoid honest expression for fear of offending.  Mohammed Ali's "I am the greatest"  is a classic example of demanding attention.
            I see so much intelligence and innovative energy within the American people that is being thrown away on the back of greedy and false advertising, corrupt and selfish banking practice, dishonest manipulative politics and commercialism. 
            We are experiencing some of this in Australia.  America's malaise really does affect the world.  When her people open their eyes wide and face facts, they will begin to climb out of their make-believe.  Failing that, their nation will go into decline.
            IMHO.

        Since the 70s I've been in and out of China and USSR/Russia several times. US was the goods guys and the world did look up to the US.

        Ever since the Bushes hit Office the World thinks the US are the bad guys that the world fears now.

        The Israel/US elistist are on the run as the largest criminal organization by far the Earth has ever known.They got much of the world into slavery natioal debt that nobody is capable to pay back for the next 2 generation. They will steal it from our pensions of 24 trillion $. Private US debt is already 20% higher than the great depression.

        No mainstream media will tell America they are bankrupt with no other excape other than war. in which war solved nothing for Libya, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Lebanon Palestine and Pakistan.

        China, Russia and India are the good guys the world looks up to.  Now the northern hemisphere has 10 times the population than the southern hemisphere. Like crowded rats who get very criminal crawling over each other.

        My greatest talent is knowing mathematics equations of world event couple with clairvoyant visions. The only times in my life when I ignore these gifts is when I get into deep trouble.

        Just stay away from Brazil and Venezuela than South America is the safest haven. Bolivia has 40% of the World animals species and with my money can live like a king.

            BRICS won't need to pay in US dollars for oil because their new trade agreements.

            IBRICS do not need to invade countries or do not have to have military bases in a 160 countries like the USA dose.

            Every country of IBRIC economic growth is higher than USA

            IBRICS currency is backed by gold not by some other countries oil.

              Because you have a paranoid  outlook  towards your American experiences.   You are angry !  No......you are downright bitter , but over what ?    Your bitterness is missplaced ,   your  paranioia  is  misdirected .    America , WAS your last best chance for personal , private political liberties .

              My guess ............your liberal teachings didn't allow you the proven self worth of  patriotic confidence . I believe your  ,perhaps endless  entitlement driven education ,  forced you to  make a descision of  loving your  dream of Utopian  Camelot to over- ride your common sense , causing  drastic polti- economic ideological  escape.

              Welcome to Canada !

                Thought I gave enough reasons and facts why this empire will collapse. Most people already know there something much worst coming, and most will not be prepared. It will effect everyone on the planet, not just that  Canada who trades more with US than Europe combined. US has already ruined a few  countries in the Middle east lead by Israel.

                Did have Utopia for most of my life. Now just want to survive and have family survive. IF America only wants to Imprison 25% of the world prisoner's and not the worlds largest criminal organization, then let them pay the price.

                  Yet our current world came about because people were prepared to strike out across the prairie and the foreboding mountain of struggle and take the risk.

                  Maybe you are being like chicken little, CP. Maybe we will all be fine!!! Maybe what makes the most sense will rise to the top like cream in fresh milk. I believe goodness is more powerful than badness. Maybe we will learn real quick what makes sense and grab it back.  And after we grab it back we will hang on ever more tightly having almost lost what makes sense.

                  what makes sense?

                  Freedom within boundaries.
                  Boundaries for the sake of freedom.

                  We must maintain the rights and freedoms which God himself has granted us … and we must learn how this is done.

                  Hint: Over Taxation and Over Regulation is NOT how it is done. Prohibiting education and truth is not how its done. And loosing faith in God is not how its done.

            It's silly to fight over liberal vs conservative. It"s like a tree fighting over it"s own branches.
            Or fleas fighting over who owns the dog.

            US ranks 20th on the scale of freedom countries. US is ready for the greatest decline in it's history and perhaps the world known history.

            The Banking/Governments/Corporatism are declining economy freedom to double the  countries of the world vs countries gaining.

            The UK is declares it's independent and many other European countries are thinking the same thing. That is the good news.

            Sorry US and Canada are too over focus on finances and are too unbalance in the future. It will self destruct then rebuild from their ashes.

            I'm not American and that is the point. I'm letting you know how the rest of the world sees you. You seem to have a bone to pick with the liberal agenda I notice you keep going back there but that has nothing to do with me.

            I look to my family and friends in your country and I hear their stories. Stories of over priced education or going into debt because of a complicated birth. Something as fundamental as breeding can have such a terrible outcome on your country. Once you have the child they healthcare is so poor (for the average citizen) you have to hope nothing goes wrong.  Not to mention stuff like maternity leave or other programs.

            Sure As a Canadian we pay taxes that go into that and sure the most Americans are taught  that they get to keep more of their money to do with as they want. Most believe they would make smarter decisions anyway. Here's the kicker though. The average American worker pays $5000 more in taxes a year than the average Canadian family.  (according to Bloomberg. I guess some one needs to pay for wars right?

            I don't get it. Where does the sense of  pride come from? I'm Canadian and I love my country but I'm not dumb enough t think we've got it all figured out.

            Anyway It sounds like you are really caught up in what "your countries" liberal agenda is telling you. But the point isn't what Americans say about America it's how the rest of the world sees you.

    Exhibit B
    Or like rats.  Put 10 southern hemisphere rats in   one square meter, they can get along well enough. Then put 100 Northern hemisphere rats in the same 10 square meter. Watch them kill each other, mother neglect their young and be more criminal.

      Mulching, composting, rejuvenating the soils, recycling waste of various kinds, conserving water (only washing once per month, and that's only if I'm a bit dirty, otherwise it's a waste of water,lol), reducing the amount of detergent I use, same with toothpaste and hand soap.
      There is so much we do that's pushed on us by the bully-boy tactics of huge corporations.

    I'm sad to says Canada will get swallowed up by the USA because we are too close to them.

    Australia have a far distance, low population and have good common sense plus a good sense of humour. They do lack water, yet do have good technique to find it. You will survive better than most especially if you build an eco system.

    Well Jonny, our connection is love is our God. We act like Gods when we create with nature rather than destroying it. I guess they declared atheist a religion in America. I would say nature is more of a religion to atheists.

    I will probably get lost often kayaking the Amazon rivers in Bolivian. Can you believe they have freshwater crocs an dolphin. Then build sandcastle on beach lake 13,000' high. above sea level.

    If all humans were perfect they would not need other humans, ideally elected by the majority, to govern them. When we are all perfect we will not need governing bodies of (also imperfect) humans. But until then, we need them to protect ourselves against ourselves. And these governing bodies of imperfect humans need to be kept in check by the both the governed and each other.

    Oh, when will we be perfect?
    Sad to say: NEVER

      govern verb
    1 rule, preside over, reign over, control, be in charge of, command, lead, dominate; run, head, administer, manage, regulate, oversee, supervise; be in the driver's seat of.

              Faith in God maybe, but can you rely upon your own good sense, your own resources, your own energies to get your self out of trouble?
              If you mind is so full of your own ideas of God, maybe your mind is not used to working out your own solutions.   In this situation, your God will be of no use, except it might make you feel a bit more comfortable about things.
              But it will not save your life.
              Maybe that does not worry you.  You are so unconcerned about preserving this earthy, physical life, that you are happy to let it go.  So be it.   Is it worth worrying about?

              As an outside I think the solution is self sustainability. Haveing diverse skills and good planning can go a long way. I think I lot of people on Hubpages have the right idea. Writing is a skill and developing it can be profitable.

              Here's two examples.

              My Father is tradesman. He's been let go from 3 jobs in 3 years. Not entirely his fault. He's very good at what he does. Some times life give you a bad batch. Here's the thing though, that's all he knows so now he's having trouble moving forward.

              My father-in-law on the other hand spent nights and weekends for the last 10 years working on skills like jewelry and singing. When the major company he worked for cut 130 stores he was fine because he could now make a living with his voice.

              The down side of making this decision to going to Bolivia is leaving the physical connection with my family. Although love is not about place.  Yet about who you care about in your soul. My family generally thought being artist was a huge
              Mistake. Best mistake I ever made in my life, now they all love it too.

              After this tour I've would have traveled over 100 countries. Bolivia is the ultimate dream for a naturalist, it is my destiny. Where religion and Politics are the same and can't imagine where their destiny is when they are making hell on earth. 

              Knowing world history this third wave is unstoppable, it must crash then reset for a spiritual age even better than the 60s and 70s.

              Being a positive person is not the same as a negative attitude, if your in the knowing.  Like if I were Jewish during the second world war,, I would have the good sense to leave Germany.America was the best choice for them. Being a world class cosmo gypsy artist and an environmentist makes me top public enemy number one according to the State.

                The non-conformist can be a pain in the butt, sometimes.  But in reality, it's the conformist nature in most of us which holds us back from progress and enlightenment: the sense that "what I know now, and what I am familiar with, is the truth.  I don't need to look any further but if I did, that would stir things up too much...better to stick with what I believe."
                Thus I feel we must be ever open to listening to the non-conformist and learn from his/her journey.  We don't want to all make the same mistakes, do we?  We can learn from the journeys of others.

    I know some odd third world countries you could take all their money, house, and pensions. They would be resourceful enough to still run a normal life.

    Not America, too many of them are over focus on money, too comfortable, and too soiled. 

    They will no longer have the bravery, the survival and diversity skills, because of a me me society along with zombie or robot jobs.

    Food and anti depressants will get cut off. Because is at a limits for profit already. When oil shuts down it stops everything not nearly enough diversity in energy again.

    Humans eat dog and a dog eat goD, cats eat dog and maggots eat everybody world.

    Street and house where guns brazing off then the physcopath military comes to do their duty like they have done in many other countries. Then burn the village to save the village.

    The smart people will excape to a save haven. Unfortunately many youth live in and for the moment.

    Not afraid to die, just don't want to be there when it happens.

    First sign is when a welfare person knocks on your door and begs for a sleep over. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!

    I've seen enough of Michael Moore's hypocrisy , he's divorcing his wife of 22 years dividing up about ten properties and  an estate worth  millions of dollars . So much for his income inequality speechs  or any speeches he makes for that matter  !

      Half of the people divorce, that dose not make him any less of a man.

      I liked his last movie. : Who do we invade next:

      it was about old American idea other countries adopted and Michael wanted to take them back to America again. Many great idea that America could practice and be great again.

          Michael Moore dose get some things wrong, like us all.
          One mistake Michael made is calling his movie Capitism a Love Story. Nothing is wrong in making money as long as it dose not harm anymore. Not to say, not to confront the most harmful action on earth, greedy corporatism.

          Let him own extra house, it a good investment as good as gold. That is Capitism.

          I'ts corporatism who own countries, own Religions, own your home, your job and own you. In which is very wrong, what worst virtue than this on planet earth?

        It seems to me that Hollywood loves to create icons, then get the population believing their icon is worth paying attention to.   Those who get sucked into the hype and advertising have free choice:  to swallow it all, hook-line-and-sinker or use their brain to sort out the truth from the lies.

        Are children taught this skill, i.e., to use their brains, from school?  Or are they left to find out themselves, by trial and error?  Because children rapidly become adults, and it's adults that get to run our world.

              Something treason about Lobbyists. You know that party has to do favors for company even if it's destructive one.
              I'm taking an early lump sum of my early pension. I bet as far as my old age pension it's gone to those crooket lawyers and criminal. 

              Investment in a landbase community of selfstainable housing. Producing our green energy, food and selling it too. Would be about the best investment I can imagine. Secondary silver might be hard to eat if we couldn't unload.

                The Globalist bankers are mad and have manipulated the market, after the UK voted to leave the UE, sterling went into a free fall.  It has not been this low since 1985.

                  Maybe Sterling is only worth what it was in 1985? Without the phony values placed on currency and precious metals made "real" by international banking the true values may now start to appear in their ledgers. The dollar will be coming to a crisis very quickly if this trend takes hold and all the "cheap products" we now enjoy due to the manipulation may become too dear to buy.

          With both parents working, computers are teaching and raising the kids.
          And the kids like it just fine, because computers are addicting. (Heaven help us if an x flare wipes out our technological capabilities!)
          Meanwhile, I believe we will learn too late the effects of technology ... as de-evolution of the human species continues.

      When, not if,  tbe dollar crashes they will likely steal most of your pensions if not all of it.

      I'm taking a lump sum pension now and then putting in silver or Bolivia land investment.

    Even though I think two evils don't make a right.
    It's very hard to get a read on who will be selected as President.

    My guesstimate would be Hillary. Even though they may seem kinder to the poor, environment, and overall to everyone liberties. 

    By far the worst downside about Liberals is they will spend us to death with taxes attempt to pay an unpayable debt. The same way US spent  USSR to death, except now to their own people.

    Exactly right Johnny ,  People today are so lazy as voters especially , that they are not engaging in intellectually deeper thought required  for in depth  analysis .   Its a" follow the party thought "  gained of those in ones immediate circles .   As older  people  we have failed perhaps ,to teach thought  rather than  group mentality ! 

    "Group mentality "  works very well in  China ,  North Korea ,  Russia perhaps  , even in America ,in some earlier time when a wide and diverse informational media was non-existent ,American High Schools  and colleges today  suffer this in  incredible numbers - one ideological train of thought .     That's perhaps why  the idealisms of youth were generally always the favorite  tool of revolutionaries . When  experience ,  intellectualism and wisdom  always win in the end.
