Turning Hard Times Into Good Times

Dmitry Orlov, author of “Reinventing Collapse” tells of his experience in Russia during that country’s collapse to warn Americans that the a similar event has begun in the U.S. There are five stages of the collapse: financial collapse, commercial collapse, political collapse, social collapse and cultural collapse. Orlov believe the U.S. is undergoing a financial collapse now. “Financial institutions become insolvent; savings are wiped out, and access to capital is lost,” Orlov writes. Does that sound familiar? With commercial collapse, store shelves are stripped bare. Political collapse is a breakdown of public order. In social collapse people lose faith that society will take care of them and begin to fend for themselves. Cultural collapse is when even those bonds are broken. In seeking to turn those hard times into good times Kim Harris of Midlands Minerals will update us on that gold mining company's progress. Also with us, Chen Lin, Roger Wiegand and Pat Gorman.
