- Travel Restrictions. This will begin with
restrictions on foreign travel, including suspension/removal of
passports. (This has begun in a small way in both the EU and US.) Later,
travel restrictions will be extended within the boundaries of countries
(highway checkpoints, etc.)
- Confiscation of wealth. The EU has instituted the
confiscation of bank accounts, which can be expected to become an
international form of governmental theft. This does not automatically
mean that other assets, such as precious metals and real estate will
also be confiscated, but it does mean that the barrier for confiscation has been eliminated. There is therefore no reason to assume that any asset is safe from any government that approves theft through bail-ins.
- Food Shortages. The food industry operates on very
small profit margins and survives only as a result of quick payment of
invoices. With dramatic inflation, marginal businesses (suppliers,
wholesalers, and retailers) will fall by the wayside. The percentage of
failing businesses will be dependent upon the duration and severity of
the inflationary trend.
- Squatters Rebellions. A dramatic increase in the
number of home and business foreclosures will result in homelessness for
anyone whose debt exceeds his ability to pay—even those who presently
appear to be well-off. As numbers rise significantly, a
new homeless class will be created amongst the former middle class. As
they become more numerous, large scale ownership of property may give
way to large scale “possession” of property.
- Riots. These will likely happen spontaneously due to the above conditions, but if not, governments will create them to justify their desire for greater control of the masses.
- Martial Law. The US has already prepared for this,
with the passing of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA),
which many interpret as declaring the US to be a “battlefield.” The NDAA
allows the suspension of habeas corpus, indefinite detention, and the
assumption that any resident may be considered an enemy combatant.
Similar legislation may be expected in other countries that perceive
martial law as a solution to civil unrest.
- Relocation to "safe zones' for many people foolish enough to go to these facilities. These have been called many names throughout history from concentration camps to re-education centers. NONE have ever more than control and death centers.
The above list is just a sampling of eventualities that will almost definitely come unannounced. As the
decline unfolds, they will surely happen with greater frequency and many 'local events' may be far worse......You are well advised to prepare to shelter in place...
