Is America designed to self-destruct?

Dear Sovereign Investor, Americans are starting to figure out that our deceptive government is relentless at spinning the truth regarding the "State of the Union." We have been taught since birth that America's "greatness" is almost God-given. That devastating economic problems and internal warfare are for other countries. That America is so exceptional that she doesn't follow the normal course of economic events. It's no wonder most Americans still believe we're insulated from the economic laws to which every other country is beholden. Do you remember how gas surprisingly spiked to $4.50 a few years ago? Or how quickly the globe changed when the Berlin Wall fell, or the Soviet Union collapsed? Pressure for events that others call a Black Swan — unexpected shocks to the system — builds slowly, often barely detected and usually largely ignored. This was the case with the attack on Pearl Harbor, the demise of the gold standard in America in the 1970s, and the housing-debt problems that upended American real estate and lead to the death of a venerable Wall Street bank, Lehman Brothers. And it's the case today with America's monolithic mountain of ever-growing debt — a debt the size of which history has never known until now and which our country will never be able to fully repay without default, excessive taxation or destroying the U.S. dollar … or, more likely, all three. At the moment every taxpayer in America owes more than $1.1 million, based on the nearly $130 trillion in on- and off-balance sheet debt that exists on our government's books. We are still the "greatest country in the world" but a day of reckoning is unavoidable. That's why I'm sharing with you today this new video in which I'm featured … entitled Meltdown America. The presentation features some of the world's leading geopolitical and finance experts discussing the consequences of economic collapse. There are three must-hear interviews with people who survived economic and political collapse in their home countries. My hope is that you will recognize in their experiences the hardships we will face in America when the inevitable finally occurs. Click here to watch the video now. Until next time, stay Sovereign … Jeff D. Opdyke Editor, Sovereign Investor P.S. This video could be going offline soon.
