7 Deadliest Sins Causing The American Empire Collapse
Many people in America are still holding on to “hope and change” that the Obama administration would save them and the world from a devastating financial collapse. Gerald Celente has called out to the American people to stop believing in hope and change and immediately get into survival mode. As there is no recovery going on in the US (despite everything that the government is telling the people), many economic analysts predict that the American Empire is going to collapse very soon, and the collapse will be as severe as the Zimbabwean collapse. Another forecast say that America is turning into a third world nation, some even mentioned it will become as bad as the Indonesian economy under Soeharto.
There is so much that we can learn from people who understand the economy, are economic analysts and/ or are successful business people themselves, such as Robert Kiyosaki, Peter Schiff, Jim Rogers, Gerald Celente and others, I have listed the 7 sins of the American government that have caused them to fall into a great collapse. Here they are
Deadliest Sin #1 – Giving Authority and Sovereignty of America into the Hands of Banks and Money
Although you may believe all you want that Obama is a good man and a good President, unfortunately he is not the one who is running the country. Politicians and the government are not the ones ruling over America, it is the bank and money.
The only American President who fought for the sovereignty of America from the enslavement of banks and actually won is President Andrew Jackson (1829-1937), the (officially recognized) 7-th president of the United States. When he ran the campaign for his second term in office, his slogan was, “Jackson and No Bank!”
(Article continues below.)
This is a reference to his plan to take over the American money system so that banks would operate for the benefit of the American people and not for the profit of a few ultra rich men who were controlling the money supply and the banking system at the time.
When he was asked what his greatest achievement was, Andrew Jackson stated, “I killed the bank!” He was referring to his achievement to remove the government’s deposits from the Second Bank of the United States, a bank controlled by the few ultra rich, greedy men, and instead deposited them into banks directed by democratic bankers – banks who would only operate for the benefit of the people.
However, the ultra rich, controlling the money supply and the banking system in the United States, managed to set up their third “central bank” where they can control the banking and money system of the US in 1913, the Federal Reserve. This was under President Woodrow Wilson. After signing the Federal Reserve into its existence, he said,
“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men..”
Deadliest Sin #2 – Taking the US Dollar off the Gold Standard
In 1971, without consulting his state department or the international monetary system, the US President at the time, Richard Nixon, took the greenback off the gold standard. At the time, the US was importing more than it was exporting due to the costly Vietnam war. It was also the time when the economy was growing and they had to import more and more oil. The US started to have difficulties in paying bills in gold. Nixon decided to take the US dollar off the gold standard. By doing this, the US was able to print their way out of debt and eventually took the freedom to print money as much as they wanted and needed. Because of this, today’s inflation started to take off.
Deadliest Sin #3 – Printing Money out of Nothing
As the US kept pumping money into the economy, inflation took off. Prices of everything went up. More and more people became millionaires because home prices won’t stop climbing. Gold price also started climbing up. However, many people think that gold is a bubble and it will burst any time soon. What the people don’t understand is that gold price is not increasing due to bubble or because it gained value but because the dollar has lost its value. Getting credit was easy and people received credit cards easily in their mails. Blinded by greed more and more people have too much debt and not enough cash.
The Federal Reserve is likely to continue printing money out of nothing, pumping trillions of dollars into the economy, causing hyperinflation and pushing prices of all goods and assets up. The value of the dollar continues to plummet and gold price will shoot up. Some forecasters say that gold will cost about US$2,000 by the end of 2010.
Deadliest Sin #4 – Punishing Workers and Investors, Rewarding Borrowers
When Obama passed his health care bill, he imposed a payroll tax on investment income. People who make investments will be taxed for the passive income they earn. There is a strange habit in the United States that taxes people who work through huge income taxes and also people who invest and start businesses in favor of the poor. But people who borrow for consumption have it easy because this is what the bankers want and through debt is how the bankers make money and become even richer.
The result is the years of easy credit when people have credit cards in their mail easily, and subprime borrowers are mushrooming throughout the country. Poor people are getting mortgage loans they can not afford to buy the American dream, a propaganda to get the American people into debt and profiteering bankers.
Deadliest Sin #5 – Robbing People of Their Wealth
The ultra rich that have the whole country in their palm also have their hands in the pockets of every American. The 4 ways they reach into people’s pocket and rob them off their wealth are through taxes, debt, inflation and retirement accounts. By robbing people like this, the poor stay poor, the middle class slowly disappear and the ultra rich, the few men controlling the money and banking system in the US, are getting richer. When there is a lack of the middle class in a country, when there is only the poor on one side and the ultra rich on the other, the country is categorized as a third world nation. This is what America is currently heading to.
Deadliest Sin #6 – Keeping People Blind about Money
It is not a coincidence that children are not being taught about money and personal finance in school despite the fact that money plays a big role in everybody’s life, regardless of age, gender or social-economic status. It is to keep them financially dumb. The rich teach every average American to go to school, find a good job, save money, invest in stocks, get into debt to buy the American dream and prepare for retirement. It is not for the benefit of the people. It is for the profit of the rich.
While that is what they are teaching everybody else, they teach their own children a completely different set of rules about money so that they may become even richer. Keeping the masses blind about money is to make sure that they have a steady flow of employees every year who are constantly in need for money so the rich can generate their own income from other people’s work.
Deadliest Sin #7 – Applying Crony Capitalism
Crony capitalism is a description of a capitalist society that is based on the close relationship between businessmen and the government. Instead of success being determined by a free market and the rule of law, the success of a business is dependent on the favoritism that is shown to it by the ruling government in the form of tax breaks, government grants and other incentives.
The US economic system is so embedded in the crony capitalism now that even if you interfere with it, you will have a crisis. However, if you don’t interfere at all, you will still have a repeated and intensified crisis anyway as it happened to Indonesia under Soeharto. So either way, America is toast. If America does not do anything about this, it will become a mess as it was with Indonesia back then.

The 7 Deadly Sins can be used to show 7 actions to living free. One is not to use banks, but to move to cash, ‘private’ banking and money transfer services, money orders, even some debit card models provide this service and concept. The 2nd sin can be addressed by moving your own contracts and money into commodity backed services, insuring that your wealth is held in viable wealth and not ‘someone else’s paper or promise. GoldMoney is a better known system here, but there are others and other ways to do this with even greater privacy if that is a concern.
The same can be said for all 7 Deadly sins. Individuals seeking to move toward freedom and out of the controlled world of Banking and government collusion to steal your wealth like is happening with retirement accounts worth less weekly, or the unit of measure, the dollar, buying less each day which means your money is becoming ever more worthless, these individuals can learn the Ways of Freedom and the Actions of Liberty to survive the actions of the present Collusion of 7 Deadly Sins.
Thanks, Wulirider
Take # 1 off your list and substitute – The creation of the Federal Reserve, Freddie, Fannie and the FDIC. The banks would have much less power without these devastating institutions.
This article is full of grammatical errors and all credibility was instantly lost with second paragraph reference to the proven fraud and scam artist Robert Kiyosaki.
I don’t think Nixon had much choice in severing the gold-dollar link in 1971. Eventually, there would have been no gold left had he not done so. Only foreign governments and central banks could redeem the dollar for (our) gold, anyway. US citizens were not even allowed to own gold at the time. That wasn’t fair.
True, Nixon could have ended the Vietnam war (which he inherited) sooner and saved some money that way but that would have required a lot of consultation with numerous stakeholders also. At least he managed to end it – and the draft – eventually. Nixon did many things wrong but severing the gold-dollar link wasn’t one of them. He really had no choice.
The US gold reserve (if it still exists) could be used some day to re-establish a gold standard. Of course, the price will have to be set much higher given that the supply of dollars has greatly increased while the gold reserve has actually declined.
These points focus entirely on monetary-related stupidity and immorality.
I’d point out that the loss of personal ethical behavior (moral fiber) and the deliberate dumbing down of Americans via infotainment and government schools are fundamental underlying causes.
The loss of moral fiber is encouraged through corrupt celebrities in politics, entertainment, and the corporate world. Also, our increasing emphasis on short-term results at the cost of the long-term increases the urge to “get mine while the getting’s good”.
Many people I know are seemingly bright, but lack awareness of the extreme bias and narrowness of mainstream “information”. I attribute this to societal programming not to question “conventional wisdom”, as well as our conditioning to accept the word of authority figures. Moreover, there is extreme pressure on several levels to avoid being tarred with the dreaded “conspiracy theorist” label.
I also think that the increasingly medicated nature of Americans has caused many to lose normal intellectual curiosity; it’s hard to engage in deep abstract thought when you feel ill or have a clouded mind as a result of multiple artificial and toxic chemicals coursing through your body.
Finally, there is a mass delusion loose in the land. We’ve escaped the consequences of our national foolishness for so long, and have had such a lengthy period of a high living standard (even if maintained by “bubble” economics), that there is a collective unspoken belief that maybe we can get away with it forever (or at least a good while longer).
I have little to add, but I think that the Executive Order seizing all privately held gold in the US issued by FDR in 1933–without any authorization from Congress, and utterly incompatible with the Constitution–should have certainly be included in the timeline of our decline.
While gold was already far less popular as a medium of exchange than it should have been–especially during a time of protracted international economic turmoil–FDR’s illegal seizure, along with lack of any real resistance to it–certainly deserves mention when one is discussing the destruction of America and its dollar.
PEACE AND FREEDOM!!

Dead on. If you are generally living your life according to the “stated principles” you are a walking slave. If you get up, go to a job, pay a mortgage, car loan, school loan, credit card balances, and taxes, all you are the walking dead. You will never get ahead trudging mindlessly through the system that has been created for you. When you mortgage a home, you pay back 2.5 times the cost. The idea that a single bank ever made a single “bad loan” is laughable. They will still turn a profit on homes that depreciate 50%. The person that loses is YOU. EVERY TIME. You lose on mortgages, credit cards, bank accounts, taxes, wages, social security, and 401Ks. You win on NOTHING. Yet 9.5 out of 10 of you are active participants to all of these things. And undoubtedly many of you feel you are on the verge of getting ahead.
Newsflash, IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. The system is stacked against you, and participation alone constitutes a guarantee of loss. If you believe anything else YOU ARE WRONG AND IN DENIAL. In fact the system is so destructive to you, that the collective damage it has done to all of you stands to collapse the system itself. At which point things will be only that much worse for you. Good luck with that…

You need to have someone proof-read your writing. You keep mixing tenses, such as:
“and not for the profit of a few ultra rich men who was controlling the money supply …”
“and not for the profit of a few ultra rich men who WERE controlling the money supply …”
And:
“There are so much that we can learn from people who understand the economy…”
“There IS so much that we can learn from people who understand the economy…”
Dear Ms. Wiriaatmadja:
Great article. We have made the fatal mistake of thinking Washington is a god and putting our faith in it. We will reap the whirlwind for our foolishness.

The only long-term solution is to end the state.
No group of people should be given the moral/legal right to threaten violence to pay for their services. The people in the state can’t have rights that you and I don’t have.
Everything can be done with the free market. Yes, even law.
The US started to have difficulties in paying bills in gold. Nixon decided to take the US dollar off the gold standard and made it illegal for people to directly exchange dollars for gold.
WRONG!
WHILE IT IS TRUE THAT THE U$A STOPPED MAKING ‘FOREIGN AID’ PAYMENTS IN GOLD -
1. NIXON ALLOWED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO OWN PHYSICAL GOLD (THAT WAS BANNED IN THE 1930s) AND
2. TRADE IT ON THE OPEN MARKETS!
3. BTHEN THE PRICE OF GOLD WENT FROM $35-ODD PTO TO OVER $800 PTO … IN LESS THAN 10 YEARS!
4. EXPOSING THE TRUE SCALE OF THE U$A’s INFLATIONARY HABIT … AKA: DEFICIT SPENDING ADDICTION!

While I agree with the 7 deadly sins, using Robert Kiyosaki’s name next to the likes of Peter Schiff, Jim Rogers, and Gerald Celente makes the author lose some credibility. Robert Kiyosaki is a simple minded scam artist. Just read a single page of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and you will see what I mean. Maybe the author of this article heard about Mr. Kiyosaki, but never bothered doing some research.
I would say US foreign policy and the racism in it is the no. 1 reason why the USA empire is collapsing.
How many of you know that USA is the greatest terrorist and through covert operations or terrorist activities of the CIA might have killed over a dozen million people of color in the world in the last 60 years or so ?

This article is very informative but I don’t think it really contains anything new that most insightful people didn’t already know.
In the UK we have a similar problem in that the economy has been upended by the constant borrowing of people releasing equity in their house. The whole economic system was built on sand and fog, with far too many people corrupted by the promise of quick and easy money that never need repaying as houses would always escalate in value.
The fact that UK banks have basically gotten away with stuffing up the entire economic system and being richly rewarded for it, leaves a very bitter taste in the mouth. Now, it turns out, whole governments have been doing the same thing, with Greece set to be joined by Ireland, Spain and Italy on the scrap heap.
Capitalism is almost at the point of imploding and should hopefully be replaced with something a lot, lot better!

In regards to: Deadliest Sin #6 – Keeping People Blind about Money,
“they (the rich) teach their own children a completely different set of rules about money so that they may become even richer”.
What are these rules?
Vince, you can read the new sets of rules in a book written by Robert Kiyosaki, Conspiracy of the Rich.
Demolition of moral valuesis done by corrupt celebrities in politics, entertainment, and the corporate world and increasing emphasis on short-term results.
In the recent times there has been a depreciation of the US economy. There needs to be a good leadership to bring a standard economy without any staggers.
It really seems that U.S. administration is not in the right hands. That’s why value of dollar is decreasing day by day.
