The System Is Collapsing – Time to Get Physical

By Shadow of Truth, The Daily Coin

The global economic system, including and especially the U.S. economy, is starting to collapse. Negative economic reports have been continuously streaming since late last fall. Even by the Government’s own manipulated numbers, the GDP in the U.S. contracted in Q1.
