Economic Collapse Report
by JD Rucker
Whether the American economy thrives into the future or takes a downturn, one thing seems clear. The fiat- and debt-based economy driving the United States and the world will eventually collapse, not because it cannot be fixed but because the powers-that-be seem bent on collapsing it. On the Economic Collapse Report podcast with JD Rucker, we do not aim to be fearmongers or Chicken Littles. We do want to bring the truth about the economy to light and make sure people are prepared for what's to come. We are not financial advisors and do not give financial advice.
