Peak Oil, The Credit Crunch and Immigration Reversal

You can always tell a delusional idiot, for them reality is less important than ideology.

The primary example of this is immigration.

The credit crunch has destroyed totally the entire basis for immigration - and in fact has now led to the point where we must begin deporting economic migrants voluntarily or by enforced means.

Peak Oil will also ensure the same process must begin - but the idiot politicians are so tied up by political correctness that they are unable to articulate this simple economic, social and political reality.

Only the BNP will save this country - only the BNP will save our people - as only the BNP will begin the process of immigration reversal VOLUNTARILY without the crisis point being reached if nothing is done.

If the crisis point is reached then social and civil unrest will erupt that will make the Greek riots look tame in comparison.

Rome has fallen - the elite may still be in denial in their ivory towers, but out on the streets the revolution has already begun.

Change You Won't Believe

By James Howard Kunstler for ClusterFuck Nation

The peak oil story has not been nullified by the scramble to unload every asset for cash -- including whomping gobs of oil contracts -- during this desperate season of bank liquidation. The main implication of the peak oil story is that we won't be able to generate the kind of economic growth that defined our way of life for decades because the primary energy resources needed for it will be contracting.

Just as global oil production peaked, our economy evolved into a morbid hypertrophy, and the chief manifestation of it was the suburban sprawl-building fiesta that has now climaxed in the real estate bust. By the early 21st century, when so much American manufacturing had been swapped out to Asia, there was no business left except sprawl-building -- a manifold tragedy which wrecked the banks that financed it, and left the ordinary people mortgaged to it with ruinous liabilities.

That economy is now in its death throes. The "normality" it represents to so many Americans is gone and can't be brought back, no matter how wistfully we watch it recede. Even so, it was obviously not good for the country. The terrain of North America has been left scarred by unlovable objects and baleful futureless vistas that, from now on, will shed whatever pecuniary value they once had. It represents the physical counterpart to the financial mess that has been left to the young generations to clean up -- and the job will take a very long time.

We have to, so to speak, get to place mentally where we can face the kinds of change that are now necessary and unavoidable. We're not there yet. It's not clear whether the elected new national leadership knows just how severe the required changes will really be. Surely the public would be shocked to grasp what's in store. Probably the worst thing we can do now would be to mount a campaign to stay where we are, lost in raptures of happy motoring and blue-light-special shopping.

The economy we're evolving into will be un-global, necessarily local and regional, and austere. It won't support even our current population. This being the case, the political fallout is also liable to be severe. For one thing, we'll have to put aside our sentimental fantasies about immigration. This is almost impossible to imagine, since that narrative is especially potent among the Democratic Party members who are coming in to run things. A tough immigration policy is exactly the kind of difficult change we have to face. This is no longer the 19th century. The narrative has to change.

The new narrative has to be about a managed contraction -- and by "managed" I mean a way that does not produce civil violence, starvation, and public health disasters. One of the telltale signs to look for will be whether the Obama administration bandies around the word "growth." If you hear them use it, it will indicate that they don't understand the kind of change we face.

It is hugely ironic that the US automobile industry is collapsing at this very moment, and the ongoing debate about whether to "rescue" it or not is an obvious kabuki theater exercise because this industry is hopeless. It is headed into bankruptcy with one hundred percent certainty. The only thing in question is whether the news of its death will spoil the Christmas of those who draw a paycheck from it, or those whose hopes for an easy retirement are vested in it. But American political-economy being very Santa Claus oriented for recent generations, the gesture will be made. A single leaky little lifeboat will be lowered and the chiefs of the Big Three will be invited to go for a brief little row, and then they will sink, glug, glug, glug, while the rusty old Titanic of the car industry slides diagonally into the deep behind them, against a sickening greenish-orange sunset backdrop of the morbid economy.

A key concept of the economy to come is that size matters -- everything organized at the giant scale will suffer dysfunction and failure. Giant companies, giant governments, giant institutions will all get into trouble. This, unfortunately, doesn't bode so well for the Obama team and it is salient reason why they must not mount a campaign to keep things the way they are and support enterprises that have to be let go, including many of the government's own operations. The best thing Mr. Obama can do is act as a wise counselor companion-in-chief to a people who now have to leave a lot behind in order to move forward into a plausible future. He seems well-suited to this task in sensibility and intelligence. The task will surely include a degree of pretense that he is holding some familiar things together and propping up some touchstones of the comfortable life. But the truth is we are all going to the same unfamiliar new territory.

The economy we're moving into will have to be one of real work, producing real things of value, at a scale consistent with energy resource reality. I'm convinced that farming will come much closer to the center of economic life, as the death of petro-agribusiness makes food production a matter of life and death in America -- as opposed to the disaster of metabolic entertainment it is now. Reorganizing the landscape itself for this finer-scaled new type of farming is a task fraught with political peril (land ownership questions being historically one of the main reasons that societies fall into revolution). The public is completely unprepared for this kind of change. We still think that "the path to success" is based on getting a college degree certifying people for a lifetime of sitting in an office cubicle. This is so far from the approaching reality that it will be eventually viewed as a sick joke -- like those old 1912 lithographs of mega-cities with Zeppelins plying the air between Everest-size skyscrapers.

The crucial element in the transformation underway will be emotion. The American experience for a few generations has produced an adult population with very childish instincts, increasingly worse each decade. For instance, the desperate power fantasies among the younger tattooed lumpenproles -- those with next-to-zero real economic power -- suggest a certain unappetizing playing-out of resource competition when the supply of Cheez Doodles and Pepsi starts to dwindle. But even the heretofore gainfully employed middle classes are pretty lost in fantasies at least of comfort an convenience. For years now, I have wondered how their sense of grievance and resentment will be expressed when the supermarket shelves run bare and the cardboard signs get taped over the local gas pump and the cable TV gets cut off for non-payment. You wonder, to put it bluntly, how far gone we really are.

Tertullian, The 7/7 Bombings and the Fall of Rome

Anas al-Liby ; The al Qaeda terrorist funded and sheltered by Britain












Around AD 210 during the fall of the Roman Empire, the author Tertullian wrote that human numbers were now such a burden to the earth which could hardly support them that famine, epidemics and wars were the means of cutting them back to a sustainable number.

Just as Mao in China engineered the mass famines of the Cultural Revolution to cut back human numbers and Stalin engineered the Ukranian Famines to kill off those who opposed him - the State, in all its myriad forms from democracy, fascist to communist, has willingly killed its own people and others in the name of its own interests.


There are some people, an ever dwindling number, who still believe that we live in a democratic society, that we can trust politicians, that we have a free press, that ACPO are not the Gauleiters of the New Labour International Corporate Fascist State and that rogue factions within the security services of our country who work for the Shadow Government of the Military-Industrial Block would not work with Al Qaeda to plant bombs.

Think again suckers.

Here is a website with the testimony of David Shayler, an ex-MI6 officer and probable victim of some sinister psychological warfare operation whilst in prison in order to discredit him after he left prison - as evinced by his recent announcement that he has became 'god' eg LSD and the CIA anyone ? If the Shadow Government can release nerve gas on the British public in secret then would they baulk at poisoning a man (shayler) or killing a man (Dr. David Kelly).

" THE British al-Qaeda leader linked to the London terrorist attacks was being questioned by police in Pakistan last night after the discovery of mobile phone records detailing his calls with the suicide bombers.

Aswat, 30, who is believed to come from the same West Yorkshire town as one of the bombers, arrived in Britain a fortnight before the attacks to orchestrate final planning for the atrocity. He spoke to the suicide team on his mobile phone a few hours before the four men blew themselves up and killed fifty-two other people.

Intelligence sources told The Times that during his stay Aswat visited the home towns of all four bombers as well as selecting targets in London. "


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haroon_Rashid_Aswat


The 7/7 bombings were run by a faction within MI6 and the bombings themselves were directly organised with their paid Al Qaeda agent Haroon Rashad Aswat - full video here ;

http://infowars.net/Pages/Aug05/020805Aswat.html

Note that whilst MI6 were working directly with Al Qaeda to plant bombs to kill Colonel Gadaffi in Libya, the same network of Al Qaeda agents were the ones working with MI6 to plant the 7/7 bombs.

The four bombers who made the bombs and delivered the bombs were run directly by Haroon Aswat who in turn was being run a faction within the MI6 run directly by agents of the United States Shadow Government within the UK Military-Industrial Complex.

Heres Michael Meacher MP saying this in an article ;

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2005/sep/10/terrorism.politics


The four bombers of 7/7 were Mohammad Sidique Khan (30),Shehzad Tanweer (22),
Germaine Lindsay (19) and Hasib Hussain.

They were not patsys, there were no 'secret bombers' and there were no hidden devices. There didnt need to be.

Those four did the bombings willingly and 'proudly' in the name of Islamic Fundamentalism, the Global Jihad and Al Qaeda.

They saw themselves as soldiers of jihad.

They were not patsys, they were Islamist scumbag terrorists whose actions were undertaken on behalf of Al Qaeda under the direct commands of Haroon Aswat who, they thought, was an Al Qaeda leader.

They thought that Al Qaeda and probably Bin Laden himself were organising the plan. They probably imagined Bin Laden in a cave somewhere quietly exulting at their plans for the atrocities.

The truth was that they never that Al Qaeda was, and still is, a CIA run organisation set up to draw islamic fundamentalists into participating in terrorist operations THAT SERVE THE INTERESTS OF THE US SHADOW GOVERNMENT and not those of either Al Qaeda or Islam.

Haroon was an Al Qaeda leader, but he was also an MI6 operative.

Haroon Aswat ran the 7/7 bombings for a rogue faction within MI6 who also work for the CIA and the US Military-Industrial Complex.

Al Qaeda is an CIA run, controlled and funded operation.

The aim of Al Qaeda is to destabilise areas of the world where the US has a strategic interest in. Al Qaeda plant the bombs, the US reaps the reward.

Osama Bin Laden was an CIA asset from the early years of the Jihad in Afghanistan when the CIA recurited, armed and funded the Islamists terrorists that evolved into Al Qaeda. Bin Laden and the Bin Lden family with George Bush Sr and the Bush family have been in business for decades and both profited from the Iraq War via the Carlyle Group ;

http://leejohnbarnes.blogspot.com/2007/11/carlyle-group-ultimate-corporation.html

The islamist fighters that join Al Qaeda, or who operate under its franchise, are so dumb that they do not even realise that they are working for the CIA themselves.

http://www.geocities.com/libertystrikesback/afghans.html

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/1999/jan/17/yemen.islam

http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Afghanistan/Afghanistan_CIA_Taliban.html

That just like most of the so called 'nazi' and 'communist' organisations in the UK, the Al Qaeda organisation is a a 'false flag' operation run by the security services and operating to their agenda via the paid state agents and deluded saps in those organisations.

The slime trail from all these creatures always leads back to the same stinking shit pile.


The Al Qaeda units set up after the Russians left Afghanistan were controlled by the CIA via Bin Laden.

http://crimesofthestate.blogspot.com/2007/04/al-qaeda-ties-to-western-intelligence.html

The Al Qaeda units that operated in the Balkans were organised, equipped and trained by elements of the CIA and British MI6 and they worked for the interests of the US in the Balkans and not for the benefit of Islam.

THE SAS EVEN TRAINED THE KLA / AL QAEDA UNITS IN THE BALKANS !!!!!

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/htmlContent.jhtml?html=/archive/1999/04/18/wwar18.html

http://www.wsws.org/articles/2000/mar2000/koso-m16.shtml



The Al Qaeda units paid for by MI6 to kill Colonel Gadaffi were working not for Islam but for the benefit of British interests in the Middle East.

The Al Qaeda unit that blew up the 911 towers were working for the US Shadow Government who needed a new 'Pearl Harbour' to unleash their plans for global Oil Imperalism.

The Al Qaeda unit that blew up the tube trains in London on 7/7 were also working for an Al Qaeda double agent under the orders of MI6, the same MI6 units that worked with Al Qaeda in Libya.

Everything you have been told by the media and the government is a lie.

The system is a corrupt criminal running amok in our nations and across the world.

It is a vile bloody thirsty monster controlled by genocidal criminals who understand that the end game of the present human civilisation is at hand, and who seek to ensure they survive the coming collapse.

They understand that unless the entire present globalised order of human civilisation is stopped and a new natural order imposed based on eco-nationalist principles imposed, that a global collapse is inevitable and with it a global population crash from wars and famines that will be the global equivalent of the Fall of Rome.

Because the people who control the Shadow Government are crminals, they can never allow their crimes to be discovered. Therefore they can never stop the process they have started and the crash they have caused.

The crash is how they will hide their crimes.

They will ensure that as much chaos is caused as possible so that they can burn all the evidence of their crimes during the firestorms that will be unleashed.

A myriad tipping points have been reached at the same time from Peak Oil, Climate Change, Human Over Population, Resource depletion, islamic terrorism, economic collapse, environmental destruction, peak food, peak water etc etc.

Unless the present system is smashed and the criminals taken from their positions of power, then humanity is about to suffer at least an 80 % population crash. The Olduvai Theory is proof of this ;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olduvai_theory

When Rome fell within less than two hundred years half the population of Europe had died off.

Rome's enormous wealth in loot and imperial taxes made possible a brilliant civilisation by BC 167, supported by imported food, but a grave Italian population crisis set in almost at once, that lasted variably for three centuries, accompanied by violence. Rome's population passed a million by the end of the lst century BC, and was 80% ex-slaves. Around AD 210 Tertullian wrote that human numbers were now a burden to the earth which could hardly support them, and that famine, epidemics and wars were the means of cutting them back. Unemployment was a nightmare. In the final catastrophic crisis in the 6th century AD, the Western Empire disintegrated into barbarian kingdoms and the population shrank to the low level permitted by purely local food. The crises culminated in the pandemic of AD 542-3 which killed 40% of the Empire's population.

http://home.vicnet.net.au/~ozideas/poprus.htm

Today the new Tertullians are preparing for the coming collapse and manouvering themelves into positions where they expect to survive the comong crash.

The End Game has begun.

Either The System is overthrown - or the world will fall into chaos.

http://www.nlpwessex.org/docs/shaylergatehtm.htm


"British intelligence paid large sums of money to an al-Qaeda cell in Libya in a doomed attempt to assassinate Colonel Gadaffi in 1996 and thwarted early attempts to bring Osama bin Laden to justice.... two French intelligence experts ......reveal that the first Interpol arrest warrant for bin Laden was issued by Libya in March 1998. According to journalist Guillaume Dasquié and Jean-Charles Brisard, an adviser to French President Jacques Chirac, British and US intelligence agencies buried the fact that the arrest warrant had come from Libya ....... Five months after the warrant was issued, al-Qaeda killed more than 200 people in the truck bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania....

The Libyan al-Qaeda cell included Anas al-Liby, who remains on the US government's most wanted list with a reward of $25 million for his capture. He is wanted for his involvement in the African embassy bombings. Al-Liby was with bin Laden in Sudan before the al-Qaeda leader returned to Afghanistan in 1996. Astonishingly, despite suspicions that he was a high-level al-Qaeda operative, al-Liby was given political asylum in Britain and lived in Manchester until May of 2000.....

The Observer has been restrained from printing details of the allegations during the course of the trial of David Shayler, who was last week sentenced to six months in prison for disclosing documents obtained during his time as an MI5 officer..... Shayler claims he was first briefed about the plot during formal meetings with colleagues from the foreign intelligence service MI6 when he was working on MI5's Libya desk in the mid-Nineties.

The Observer can today reveal that the MI6 officers involved in the alleged plot were Richard Bartlett, who has previously only been known under the codename PT16 and had overall responsibility for the operation; and David Watson, codename PT16B. As Shayler's opposite number in MI6, Watson was responsible for running a Libyan agent, 'Tunworth', who was was providing information from within the cell.

According to Shayler, MI6 passed £100,000 to the al-Qaeda plotters.... Shayler, who conducted his own defence in the trial, intended to call Bartlett and Watson as witnesses, but was prevented from doing so by the narrow focus of the court case.... During the Shayler trial, Home Secretary David Blunkett and Foreign Secretary Jack Straw signed Public Interest Immunity certificates to protect national security. Reporters were not able to report allegations about the Gadaffi plot during the course of the trial.... These restrictions have led to a row between the Attorney General and the so-called D-Notice Committee, which advises the press on national security issues..... Members of the committee, who include senior national newspaper executives, are said to be horrified at the unprecedented attempt to censor the media during the trial."

The Fall of the American Empire

The Fall of the American Empire is the same process as experienced during the Fall of Rome.

Below are listed the reasons for the fall of Rome and below them what is happening today.

The Fall of the American Empire will lead to the fall of the European Union and the start of civil wars across Europe.

Our politicians have learnt nothing from history.

Below are the factors that caused the Fall of Rome and how they are being replicated today ;





Decline in Morals and Values

Those morals and values that kept together the Roman legions and thus the empire could not be maintained towards the end of the empire. Crimes of violence made the streets of the larger cities unsafe. Even during PaxRomana there were 32,000 prostitutes in Rome. Emperors like Nero and Caligula became infamous for wasting money on lavish parties where guests ate and drank until they became ill. The most popular amusement was watching the gladiatorial combats in the Colosseum. These were attended by the poor, the rich, and frequently the emperor himself. As gladiators fought, vicious cries and curses were heard from the audience. One contest after another was staged in the course of a single day. Should the ground become too soaked with blood, it was covered over with a fresh layer of sand and the performance went on.


TODAY - Multi-culutralism has destroyed national and civic cohesion. The notion of the nation state has been replaced by community ghettoes. As a result Islamist terrorists born in the UK blow up buses and trains as a way to express their hatred of the British nation. No unifying national narrative exists, and all communities care only about themselves. The entire political class are corrupt and the streets of our cities are experiencing crime waves as immigrant hordes enter our country and create their own crime gangs. The TV and media promote drug abuse, family breakdown, sexual immorality and seek to sexualise children. Entertainment is based on the vicious and callous spectacle of Big Brother and Cage Fighting, and gladatorial combat in every home. Foreign footballers are shipped in to entertain the masses and the Olympics drain billions from the public coffers. Even the Gladiators TV show is on the TV recreating in a dumbed down way the same Roman spectacle as in the days before the fall of Rome.

The trade in sex slaves and child prostitutes into the UK is vast, on a par not seen since the days of the slave trade. Slaves are shipped into the UK and babies sold to immigrants so that they can access council accomodation and benefits.

The very fact that the Gladiators TV show is on ourt TV screens is deeply symbolic, it is as Jung would say ' a prefiguration' of the collapse of our civilisations just a Rome collapsed.


Public Health

There were many public health and environmental problems. Many of the wealthy had water brought to their homes through lead pipes. Previously the aqueducts had even purified the water but at the end lead pipes were thought to be preferable. The wealthy death rate was very high. The continuous interaction of people at the Colosseum, the blood and death probable spread disease. Those who lived on the streets in continuous contact allowed for an uninterrupted strain of disease much like the homeless in the poorer run shelters of today. Alcohol use increased as well adding to the incompetency of the general public.



Today - MSRI infects our hospitals, Foot and Mouth, Swine Fever and Blue tongue have hit our country. B.S.E caused by deregulation is a ticking time bomb of a public health disaster. Bush meat and diseased carcasses are imported into the country to feed immigrant degenerates. Alcoholism is rampant, as is drug abuse. Industrial pollution damages our fertility and environmental destruction is caused by toxins and poisons from industry in our waters. Climate change threatens our weather and crops.

Worst of all Colony Disorder and Varroa mite disease and infestations are destroying the bees in our country thereby threatening the entire food chain.

Albert Einstein speculated that "If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would only have four years of life left."

http://www.heyokamagazine.com/HEYOKA.7.BEES.htm

The natural enviroment both in the UK and worldwide in crisis and will lead to eco-conflicts, resource wars and water wars in the near future.

Already food riots are breaking out across the world and famine stalks nations such as Ethiopia again. These famines will cause mass migation ino Europe and the UK further destabilising our societies.



Political Corruption

One of the most difficult problems was choosing a new emperor. Unlike Greece where transition may not have been smooth but was at least consistent, the Romans never created an effective system to determine how new emperors would be selected. The choice was always open to debate between the old emperor, the Senate, the Praetorian Guard (the emperor's's private army), and the army. Gradually, the Praetorian Guard gained complete authority to choose the new emperor, who rewarded the guard who then became more influential, perpetuating the cycle. Then in 186 A. D. the army strangled the new emperor, the practice began of selling the throne to the highest bidder. During the next 100 years, Rome had 37 different emperors - 25 of whom were removed from office by assassination. This contributed to the overall weaknesses of the empire.

Today - today we have a TWO PARTY STATE controlled by the media. Politicians are not elected to serve the country or the people, they are simply prostitues of the media. The entire political class is corrupt. The recent scandalous debacle where the 43 days detention legislation was passed by the Labour government by bribing the Ulster Unionists to support the removal of our civil rights was proof of how corrupt our political system is.

The Lobby Groups control the direction political parties and presidents take, such as AIPAC directs US foreign policy and the Irish Lobby allowed the US to fund the IRA. Suadi oil interests dominate the US economy and the SHADOW GOVERNMENT of the US Military-Industrial Block control the nation in the shadows and send US troops to fight their Neo-Imperialist Oil wars.


Unemployment

During the latter years of the empire farming was done on large estates called latifundia that were owned by wealthy men who used slave labor. A farmer who had to pay workmen could not produce goods as cheaply. Many farmers could not compete with these low prices and lost or sold their farms. This not only undermined the citizen farmer who passed his values to his family, but also filled the cities with unemployed people. At one time, the emperor was importing grain to feed more than 100,000 people in Rome alone. These people were not only a burden but also had little to do but cause trouble and contribute to an ever increasing crime rate.

Today - Farming in the UK is based mainly on Factory Farming and Industrial agriculture, the latter day equivalent of the Latifundia, and the UK relys on cheap migrant labour to pick the crops. Price rises in farming commodities, after decades of slump, are now enriching farmers but causing huge prices rises for consumers driving many poor people into food and energy poverty. When reccession comes then these migrant workers will be thrown onto he dole and then we will witness a rerun of the Roman dole problem.


1/3 of homes in the UK rely on benefits.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1542427/One-third-of-homes-dependent-on-benefits.html

One in three households across Britain is now dependent on the state for at least half its income, it emerged today.

Official government figures showed that more than seven million households are getting most of their income from government handouts.

A huge class of state employees work for the government in the Servile State.The cost to the taxpayer of running Britain's sprawling empire of quangos has soared to £124billion - up almost 60 per cent in just three years.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-406763/Quangos-cost-taxpayer-124bn.html


Inflation

The roman economy suffered from inflation (an increase in prices) beginning after the reign of Marcus Aurelius. Once the Romans stopped conquering new lands, the flow of gold into the Roman economy decreased. Yet much gold was being spent by the romans to pay for luxury items. This meant that there was less gold to use in coins. As the amount of gold used in coins decreased, the coins became less valuable. To make up for this loss in value, merchants raised the prices on the goods they sold. Many people stopped using coins and began to barter to get what they needed. Eventually, salaries had to be paid in food and clothing, and taxes were collected in fruits and vegetables.

Today - Inflation in the UK due to oil prices is now at almost 14 %. This will rise to almost 20-30 % as the oil price rises. The government figures state it is just 3 % in order to ensure the trades unions do not demand more wages for their workers, so British workers are now being paid less year after year as price rises year after year for almost all commodities ranging from food to energy. The value of the dollar has crashed and the pound has weakened. Inflation will be hitting so hard that stagflation is about to begin followed by reccession and possible economic collapse.

The petro-dollar recyling system is about to crash due to Peak Oil and the UK service industry economy is going to collapse as less money = less service industries. The crash in Financial services such as banking due to the sub prime crash will mean a crsh in investment in new industries as bankers hold onto their liquidity as the housing market crashes as no new mortgages are being issued and houses plunge into negative equity.


Urban decay

Wealthy Romans lived in a domus, or house, with marble walls, floors with intricate colored tiles, and windows made of small panes of glass. Most Romans, however, were not rich, They lived in small smelly rooms in apartment houses with six or more stories called islands. Each island covered an entire block. At one time there were 44,000 apartment houses within the city walls of Rome. First-floor apartments were not occupied by the poor since these living quarters rented for about $100 a year. The more shaky wooden stairs a family had to climb, the cheaper the rent became. The upper apartments that the poor rented for $40 a year were hot, dirty, crowded, and dangerous. Anyone who could not pay the rent was forced to move out and live on the crime-infested streets. Because of this cities began to decay.


Today - The UK infrastructure ranging from trains, railways, roads, the national grid to oil exploration and extraction facilities is declining year after year. The point when the decay is so bad that the nation does not have the money to repair this infrastructure is fast approaching. House building companies hve seen up to a thirdwiped off their values in recent days due to the sub prime motgage collapse and are throwing vast amounts of workers onto the dole.

Housing projects have been stopped as few people are being given mortgages. House prices are collapsing at a vast rate and the people in negative equity is rising. Lack of council homes due to migrants taking them means conflict between the homeless will break out once the crisis deepens.


Inferior Technology

During the last 400 years of the empire, the scientific achievements of the Romans were limited almost entirely to engineering and the organization of public services. They built marvelous roads, bridges, and aqueducts. They established the first system of medicine for the benefit of the poor. But since the Romans relied so much on human and animal labor, they failed to invent many new machines or find new technology to produce goods more efficiently. They could not provide enough goods for their growing population. They were no longer conquering other civilizations and adapting their technology, they were actually losing territory they could not longer maintain with their legions.


Today - The dependence on arab oil means we are vulnerable to total social collapse as peak oil hits. We have not invested in renewable energy systems to ensure national energy autarchy. Our industries reply on fossil fuels and nuclear power, even though the number of nuclear power plants is about to be halved and with them almost 40 % of our national energy production.

Lack of investment in solar power, wind power etc means we are facing imminent social collapse and chaos.


Military Spending

Maintaining an army to defend the border of the Empire from barbarian attacks was a constant drain on the government. Military spending left few resources for other vital activities, such as providing public housing and maintaining quality roads and aqueducts. Frustrated Romans lost their desire to defend the Empire. The empire had to begin hiring soldiers recruited from the unemployed city mobs or worse from foreign counties. Such an army was not only unreliable, but very expensive. The emperors were forced to raise taxes frequently which in turn led again to increased inflation.


Today - The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have cost us billions. This has meant that as privte debt has grown the governments public debt has also grown to finance those wars. With no industries to produce wealth, as we are a service and financial economy, this means global bad debt will destroy our service and financial industries. The lack of liquidity to invst in new businesses and also offshoring of jobs to China and India means the UK is about to go into a debt crisis.

The ongoing war in Iraq and Afghanistan will soon be joined by an attack on Iran that will push up pil prices and cause global terrorism and conflicts. With no government wealth reserves and private debt mountains, the money required to invest in new UK infrastructure and industries does not exist. We face a collapse as a specific result of our dependence on banking and finance for our national income.


THE FINAL BLOWS

For years, the well-disciplined Roman army held the barbarians of Germany back. Then in the third century A. D. the Roman soldiers were pulled back from the Rhine-Danube frontier to fight civil war in Italy. This left the Roman border open to attack. Gradually Germanic hunters and herders from the north began to overtake Roman lands in Greece and Gaul (later France). Then in 476 A. D. the Germanic general Odacer or Odovacar overthrew the last of the Roman Emperors, Augustulus Romulus. From then on the western part of the Empire was ruled by Germanic chieftain. Roads and bridges were left in disrepair and fields left untilled. Pirates and bandits made travel unsafe. Cities could not be maintained without goods from the farms, trade and business began to disappear. And Rome was no more in the West.


Today - Mass immigation into Europe from the Third World due to climate change is about to send hundreds of millions of eco-migrants into Europe. These people will either flood and destroy our cities or will create civil wars wherever they arrive. The EU has already stated that it will not stop these migrants from entering Europe and therefore the destruction of EUROPE BY THESE HORDES IS VIRTUALLY GUARANTEED.

Enbtire swathes of Europe will become refugee zones where these groups will bring their tribal hatreds and create their own low level wars. These wars will increasingly suck in the indigenous populations.

Their presence in Europe will bring disease and famine as scarce resources, such as food due to Peak Oil hitting pesticides and fertiliser production leading to lower yeilds combined with the collapse of the eco-system due to the varroa mite and colony disorder of bees, will lead to mass famine even in Europe.

Food riots will break out leading to low level eco-conflicts and eventual civil wars.

The cities will become like in the Middle Ages as walled forts where you will only be allowed to enter if you can show you have money to spend.

The poor will sit outside the city walls in poverty.

The Fall has begun.
