Apocalypse in America...We are In The Thrust! Must Read!
If the US economy is improving as the Obama Administration claims, then why are thousands of stores closing their doors to the public and why do sales figures continue to decline for retailers all across the country?
Most of the apocalyptic collapse that we are witnessing today is because of the slow and steady death of the middle class consumer. Median household income is declining, and bills keep on piling. This means that the amount of disposable income that the average American has is shrinking, and that’s bad news for retailers.
Unfortunately, this is only the beginning of what’s about to happen and retail experts project that the pace of stores closing will accelerate over the next few years. Things are not only going to get worse, they are going to get much, much worse…Apocalyptic in nature.
The following is a list of facts about the US retail apocalypse that is NOW hitting our country. The information below comes from CK Quarterman at http://www.ckquarterman.com :
#1 As you read this article, approximately a billion square feet of retail space is sitting vacant in the United States.
#2 Last week, Radio Shack announced that it was going to close more than a thousand stores.
#3 Last week, Staples announced that it was going to close 225 stores.
#4 Same-store sales at Office Depot have declined for 13 quarters in a row.
#5 J.C. Penney has been dying for years, and it recently announced plans to close 33 more stores.
#6 J.C. Penney lost 586 million dollars during the second quarter of 2013 alone.
#7 Sears has closed about 300 stores since 2010, and CNN is reporting that Sears is “expected to shutter another 500 Sears and Kmart locations soon”.
#8 Overall, sales numbers have declined at Sears for 27 quarters in a row.
#9 Target has announced that it is going to eliminate 475 jobs and not fill 700 positions that are currently empty.
#10 It is being projected that Aéropostale will close about 175 stores over the next couple of years.
#11 Macy’s has announced that it is going to be closing five stores and eliminating 2,500 jobs.
#12 The Children’s Place has announced that it will be closing down 125 of its “weakest” stores by 2016.
#13 Best Buy recently shut down about 50 stores up in Canada.
#14 Video rental giant Blockbuster has completely shut down all of their stores.
#15 It is being projected that sales at U.S. supermarkets will decline by 1.7 percent this year even as the overall population continues to grow.
#16 McDonald’s has reported that sales at established U.S. locations were down 3.3 percent in January.
#17 A home appliance chain known as “American TV” in the Midwest is going to be shutting down all 11 stores.
#18 Even Wal-Mart is struggling right now. Just check out what one very prominent Wal-Mart executive recently admitted…
David Cheesewright, CEO of Walmart International was speaking at the same presentation, and he pointed out that Walmart would try to protect its market share in the US – where the company had just issued an earnings warning. But most of the growth would have to come from its units outside the US. I mean, via these share buybacks?
Alas, outside the US too, economies were limping along at best, and consumers were struggling and the operating environment was tough. “We’re seeing economies under stress pretty much everywhere we operate,” Cheesewright admitted.
#19 In a recent CNBC article entitled “Time to close Wal-Mart stores? Analysts think so”, it was recommended that Wal-Mart should close approximately 100 “underperforming” supercenters in rural locations across America.
#20 Retail consultant Howard Davidowitz is projecting that up to half of all shopping malls in America may shut down within the next 15 to 20 years…
Within 15 to 20 years, retail consultant Howard Davidowitz expects as many as half of America’s shopping malls to fail. He predicts that only upscale shopping centers with anchors like Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus will survive.
Is there any hope that things will turn around? I don’t know, only time will tell, but I do know that what the Obama administration is doing is NOT helping our economy it is hurting it. So at this point, I do not see any chance of things turning around for the better.
Furthermore, our government has been and is lying to us. They told us that 175,000 jobs were added in February however, they failed to tell us that it takes that many jobs just to keep up with population growth. The number of unemployed individuals 16 years and over actually increased by 223,000 in February, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Meaning overall unemployment has and is skyrocketing! Meanwhile, the labor force participation rate continues to sit at a 35 year low, and a staggering 70 percent of all Americans not in the work force are below the age of 55.
The following is an excerpt from a recent Bloomberg article…
“Recent college graduates are ending up in more low-wage and part-time positions as it’s become harder to find education-level appropriate jobs, according to a January study by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.”
Obviously the government is trying to hid something from us—which seems to be a daily occurrence for those in leadership these days.
Things are looking depressing for our country and an apocalypse is not around the corner….it is already here! It’s just a matter of time before it effects you personally and gets worse. As of yet, we are in the very beginning of its thrust.

While once unthinkable, America is teetering on the brink of economic collapse. The Fed has been reduced to rearranging the furniture on the deck of the Titanic. We are on the cusp of the Great Depression 2, wider and deeper and vaster in scope and scale than the Great Depression 1 because we are drowning in a vast sea of debt, a deluge of derivatives on a scale and scope that dwarfs all else.
America is in need of God’s help more than ever before. But we have leaders that do not know how to seek the favor of the LORD. The only thing they know how to do is thumb their noses at God by championing gay rights and the like. So this nation will reap what it has sown.
The best thing you can do for yourself and your family right now is start preparing now for economic collapse. It’s time to batten down the hatches. If you haven’t drawn near to God yet, this would be a good time to start. God knows how to take care of those that belong to Him during times of famine. The most valuable commodity of all is grace. Got grace? Grace will provide you with everything you need.
all of the stores you listed as struggling or going under buy cheap goods from China & sell them at a nice profit. They are bought at cheap wholesale prices because the rich people who own the country has exported all of those manufacturing jobs that were in the northeast and midwest to China. Why pay $10 an hour to someone in Cleveland to make products when you can pay someone in Woo-Hoo China a whopping $1 an hour to do the same job?
These geniuses can’t figure out that this means that nobody can afford the cheap stuff even if they can get it for bargain prices. Why? BECAUSE THE SALARIES PAID TO WORKERS AT THOSE MIDWEST MANUFACTURING JOBS HAVE BEEN EXPORTED TO CHINA ALSO.
Don’t worry too much about retailers. They have been selling merchandise made in China for pennies and marking it up 200-500 percent. I used to check in the merchandise on the selling floor when I worked in retail. I saw the invoices. I know what I am talking about. They have been stiffing the American consumer for years! They have plenty of money. They choose to allocate their profits differently. It’s time for smart Americans to learn how to sew, bypass the middleman and the retailer!
The key to living successfully in America is not how we are going to live because of the leadership, but how we are going to live in spite of them.
Have you checked the price of material lately?
The time is near for the American currency to adjust itself back into the pre British pound domination. The dollar is sliding every day in value to such an extent that many countries are no longer using it for international commercial purposes, and the time is very near the dollar will not be used at all.
The USA President, and both houses are the most ill-responsible group of individuals the country has experienced. It brings on tears is every USA citizen will dull fully pay for their mistake in electing this group of greed and ignorance.
Over the last several years I have watched their government economic policy inflict global concern to every country on the planet. These concerns are now a reality, and the reality has turned into an adumbrated nightmare. America and its policies are of no respect and viewed as an ignominious decision makings by parasite’s of no consequence. The American has lost its glitter so much they now forebear the label “ xenophobia ” on foreign soil.
Obama’s current crescendo on the Russian front is nothing but a throng of past gramophone of gaup and ply. The Ukraine people are Russians of different views but the majority sides with President Putin. That alone should indicate to the USA government to abdicate their current position of imposing sanctions. The whickering of John Kerry is just the opposite of logic and au-courant information in the Ukraine.. The sanctions imposed, if imposed, will be the demise of the dollar. It will devalue itself downward and will settle behind the Euro, the Yuan, the Ruble and the Pound over a short period of time, and your provity level will double.
Excellent article. You might think that the people running our country are idiots. Actually, they think we are idots. Hegelian dialectic: create the problem, offer the solution. The problem they are creating is intentionally bringing down Europe and North America so the citizens will be willing to accept any solution; which is to give up sovereignty for a global government where they control the world’s financial systems and all resources, humans being considered a resource.
Here is a speech from 1962, given in Britian:
“Arnold Toynbee, who took over for his father as basically the guardian of All Souls College – that’s the INNER college for long-standing, life members of the Rhodes Scholarship for world government – he talked about… as I say, always denying with their mouth and their lips that which they do with their hands. It is as simple as that. The public all know something, but the person has to deny it, appear to be convincing with that nice, angelic face, and we want to believe them and so we accept the second version. Not what we see. That happens all the time. Here’s what he said about the United States – remember he was an historian and a philosopher to an extent, HEAVILY involved in the world government scenario and gave speeches across the planet back in the ‘30s and even before that – he was talking about how the U.S. was set up to take over from Britain as the policeman of the WORLD to bring in the world system, the world government – and he talked about how it would FALTER, just like Rome, and rise for a while and appear to be all conquering, and then fall again and then rise once more, each one is like a smaller wave until it would just fall apart within. He said, “The U.S. will set a record in the rate of rise and fall of an empire. Between wide open boarders and the fall of the dollar, and the growing population against the declining resource base, it will be defeated from within. Mobs will rule the streets in the nation that is now the third largest in the world, and unable to support its population except by taking resources from other countries.” That comes from a guy who was up there with the Royal Institute of International Affairs, The Council on Foreign Relations, The Cecil Rhodes Foundations, The Lord Milner Group, the big boys that really run the show for world government. The guys who SET UP, in fact, this system for world government, predicting all that time ago, what the agenda would be. Meanwhile, they just announce things in the media as thought they’re just rediscovering it today. The same think tanks have been working with their mandates for over 100 years and publishing their findings for anyone who wants to read it.”

“On March 20, 1969, Dr. Richard Day, the National Medical Director of the Rockefeller-sponsored “Planned Parenthood” told a meeting that American industry will be sabotaged and shown to be unreliable and uncompetitive.
“The stated plan was that different parts of the world would be assigned different roles of industry and commerce in a unified global system. The continued preeminence of the United States and the relative independence and self-sufficiency of the United States would have to be changed… in order to create a new structure, you first have to tear down the old, and American industry was one example of that.”
“Each part of the world will have a specialty and thus become inter-dependent, he said. The US will remain a center for agriculture, high tech, communications, and education but heavy industry would be “transported out.”"

There’s plenty more but this should be enough to convince anyone that it never was by accident.
