There is more and more evidence of the fact that the American empire is in retreat abroad, and in utter decay and imploding economically at home.

Greetings,

There is more and more evidence of the fact that the American empire is in retreat abroad, and in utter decay and imploding economically at home. The signs tells us that poverty is now widespread. There is a growing economic and political schism and great divide.

The coffers of America’s treasury is empty. She is begging and threatening other nations to buy her worthless treasuries to keep her afloat and maintain the illusion of power, wealth, and prosperity. Soon she will sit in the dust of lack and want.

The people of her nation are panicking. There is violence and madness everywhere. …”

The white race is facing doom because she will not act according to justice and righteousness — which was not by nature put in her. But this is known and her race is frightened concerning her future, as we see here in America.

The white man recognizes his coming doom and many of them would rather die here than to do elsewhere, outside of America, to try to defend what they call “their own independent sovereignty.” Some have poured gasoline over themselves and committed suicide by setting themselves afire.”–pg.185(tfoa)

Recession linked to more than 10,000 suicides in US, Canada, Europe

New research suggests that more than 10,000 suicides across the United States, Canada and the European Union could be linked with the Great Recession that began in 2007 and lasted until 2009.

Between 2007 and 2011, rates of suicide surged in North America and Europe as a result of the economic downturn, according to the study by researchers at the University of Oxford and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and published Thursday in the British Journal of Psychiatry.

In the US, where the suicide rate had an upward curve even before the Great Recession, the rate rose more sharply during the financial turmoil, leading to 4,750 additional deaths between 2007 and 2010, a 4.8 percent increase.

Suicides had been on the decline in Europe prior to the Great Recession. But by 2009, it was seeing a 6.5 percent increase, a level it sustained until 2011. Canada’s rate rose by 4.5 percent.

According to the study authors, these figures are “conservative” estimates. They said that the actual number of suicides since the recession hit are likely much greater than expected.

“It’s a fairly large and substantial increase over what we would have expected,” said Aaron Reeves, a sociologist and post-doctoral researcher at the University of Oxford in England, who helped lead the research. “There are, broadly speaking, large mental health implications of the economic crisis that are still being felt by many people.”

However, according to study co-author David Stuckler, “suicides are just the tip of the iceberg.”

He said “these data reveal a looming mental health crisis in Europe and North America. In these hard economic times, this research suggests it is critical to look for ways of protecting those who are likely to be hardest hit.”

The Great Recession, which affected most of the global economy during the late 2000’s, was the worst recession since the Great Depression of the 1930’s. It was sparked by the outbreak of the US subprime mortgage crisis. The effects of this economic downturn are having a continued influence into 2014.
