Harvard historian Niall Ferguson predicts that within the next five years, the U.S. will be spending so much on interest payments, it will have to slash defense spending. “Military retreat from the mountains of the Hindu Kush, or the plains of Mesopotamia,” Ferguson warns, “has long been a harbinger of imperial fall.”

Throughout history the rise and fall of empires isn’t slow or cyclical, as we like to think, but arrhythmic…it mostly happens very, very suddenly. America is a superpower on the edge of chaos, according to economic historian and author Niall Ferguson. U.S. debt levels, he says, and its unwillingness to address the problem, has put it in the same category as other great empires which have collapsed throughout the ages.
Ferguson argues the world is changing. There’s the rise of authoritarian China as a super-power; a Keynesian president leading a weakened United States; the re-emergence of democratic India as a great power; the continued decline of Japan; and the probability of continued global economic instability ahead.
Is the rise and fall of empires cyclical or arrhythmic? How does economic profligacy — whether the result of arrogance or naivety — contribute to the downfall of civilizations? Not to be missed, the address will offer a timely review of primacy, leadership, and the complex factors behind the rise and fall of great powers and civilizations. – Australian Broadcasting Corporation

In this video, I explain how corrupt of a financial institution Chase Bank is. This is not just my opinion, but the opinion of thousands of others that have filed complaints and class action lawsuits against this financial juggernaut.
I missed one payment. I had a super record with this company for eight solid years. One missed payment brought my minimum payment up three times. I went from an 8.45% interest rate to 29.99%. When I called the company to negotiate, all three parties refused to change anything. In the past, all other creditors behaved amicably; not this company though.
Boycott Chase at all costs, and tell your friends what their real plan is. They are preparing for the worst economic collapse in 2009, and by ridding themselves of customers, they limit their liabilities. After all, no job equals no way in to pay your minimum payments. I believe this is their plan.
