That’s exactly what many well-respected economists, billionaires, and noted authors are telling you to do — experts such as Marc Faber, Peter Schiff, Donald Trump, and Robert Wiedemer. According to them, we are on the verge of another recession, and this one will be far worse than what we experienced during the last financial crisis.

Marc Faber, the noted Swiss economist and investor, has voiced his concerns for the U.S. economy numerous times during recent media appearances, stating, “I think somewhere down the line we will have a massive wealth destruction. I would say that well-to-do people may lose up to 50 percent of their total wealth.”

When he was asked what sort of odds he put on a global recession happening, the economist famous for his ominous predictions quickly answered . . . “100 percent.”

Faber points out that this bleak outlook stems directly from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s policy decisions, and the continuous printing of new money, referred to as “quantitative easing” in the media.

Faber’s pessimism is matched by well-respected economist and investor Peter Schiff, the CEO of Euro Pacific Capital. Schiff remarks that the stock market collapse we experienced in 2008 “wasn’t the real crash. The real crash is coming.”

Schiff didn’t stop there. Most alarming is his belief that daily life will get dramatically worse for U.S. citizens.

“If we keep doing this policy of stimulus and growing government, it’s just going to get worse for the average American. Our standard of living is going to fall . . . People who are expecting Social Security can’t get all that money. People expecting government pensions can’t get all their money . . . We simply can’t afford to pay them.”

Equally critical of the current government and our nation’s economy is real estate mogul and entrepreneur Donald Trump, who is warning that the United States could soon become a large-scale Spain or Greece, teetering on the edge of financial ruin.

Trump doesn’t hesitate to point out America’s unhealthy dependence on China. “When you’re not rich, you have to go out and borrow money. We’re borrowing from the Chinese and others.”

It is this massive debt that worries Trump the most.

“We are going up to $16 trillion [in debt] very soon, and it’s going to be a lot higher than that before he gets finished,” Trump says, referring to President Barack Obama. “When you have [debt] in the $21-$22 trillion [range], you are talking about a [credit] downgrade no matter how you cut it.”

In a recent appearance, Trump went to so far as to say the dollar is “going to hell.”

Where Trump, Faber, and Schiff see rising debt, a falling dollar, and a plunging stock market, investment adviser and author Robert Wiedemer sees much more widespread economic destruction.

In a recent interview to talk about his New York Times best-seller Aftershock, Wiedemer says, “The data is clear, 50 percent unemployment, a 90 percent stock market drop, and 100 percent annual inflation… starting in 2013.”

Editor’s Note: Watch the disturbing interview with Wiedemer. (http://w3.newsmax.com/a/aftershockb/video47.cfm?promo_code=13E5C-1)

Before you dismiss Wiedemer’s claims as impossible or unrealistic, consider this: In 2006, Wiedemer and a team of economists accurately predicted the collapse of the U.S. housing market, equity markets, and consumer spending that almost sank the United States. They published their research in the book America’s Bubble Economy.

When the interview host questioned Wiedemer’s latest data, the author unapologetically displayed shocking charts backing up his allegations, and then ended his argument with, “You see, the medicine will become the poison.”

The interview has become a wake-up call for those unprepared (or unwilling) to acknowledge an ugly truth: The country’s financial “rescue” devised in Washington has failed miserably.

The blame lies squarely on those whose job it was to avoid the exact situation we find ourselves in, including Bernanke and former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, tasked with preventing financial meltdowns and keeping the nation’s economy strong through monetary and credit policies.

Shocking Footage: See the eerie chart that exposes the ‘unthinkable.’ (http://w3.newsmax.com/a/aftershockb/video47.cfm?promo_code=13E5C-1)

At one point, Wiedemer even calls out Bernanke, saying that his “money from heaven will be the path to hell.”

But it’s not just the grim predictions that are causing the sensation in Wiedemer’s video interview. Rather, it’s his comprehensive blueprint for economic survival that’s really commanding global attention.

The interview offers realistic, step-by-step solutions that the average hard-working American can easily follow.

The video was initially screened for a relatively small, private audience. But the overwhelming amount of feedback from viewers who felt the interview should be widely publicized came with consequences, as various online networks repeatedly shut it down and affiliates refused to house the content.

Bernanke and Greenspan certainly would not support Wiedemer publicly, and it soon became apparent mainstream media would not either.

“People were sitting up and taking notice, and they begged us to make the interview public so they could easily share it,” said Newsmax Financial Publisher Aaron DeHoog. “But unfortunately, it kept getting pulled.”

“Our real concern,” DeHoog added, “is the effect even if only half of Wiedemer’s predictions come true.

“That’s a scary thought for sure. But we want the average American to be prepared, and that is why we will continue to push this video to as many outlets as we can. We want the word to spread.”

Editor’s Note: For a limited time, Newsmax is showing the Wiedemer interview and supplying viewers with copies of the new, updated Aftershock book including the final, unpublished chapter. Go here to view it now. (http://w3.newsmax.com/a/aftershockb/video47.cfm?promo_code=13E5C-1)

These exaggerated warnings give the rest of us a bad name.

BTW, it's almost impossible to have a 90% stock market drop with 100% inflation. The stock market is indexed in inflated dollars, so in a "flat" market, the stock market would double during 100% inflation. Look at how Zimbabwe's stock market soared during it's hyperinflation.

The thinking person will realize that the stock market "correction" will happen before inflation really kicks in. Then the market will continue to go up nominally. How much will the stock market drop? Tough question. As little as 10%, as much as 50%. I think it will be like the third drop during the 1970s, i.e. around 15-20%.

It may be he meant a hundred percent annual inflation after a 90% drop in the stock market... Massive deflation followed by massive inflation. Turkey had between 50 and a hundred % inflation for many years until recently... It never spiraled totally out of control...

sparky what was the drop in 2008 ?

The previous bear market saw five major "corrections" of 20+%:
1966-1966 24%
1968-1970 35%
1973-1974 50%
1976-1978 20%
1980-1982 28%

So far in this bear, we have seen two:
2000-2003 50%
2007-2009 57%

The priests have spoken. I don't believe economists because they are all owned by the Fed. They are paid to lie and confuse things so the people who work will keep on working and not tear the plutocrats to shreds.

There is a classic obfuscation here. Wealth is not destroyed. Money is destroyed by being worth either too much or too little. Money is not wealth. Money is used to transfer wealth from people who need money to people who have money. When this monetary crisis comes, not a single iota of wealth will be destroyed. It's ownership will merely change hands. Under terms that are unfavorable to those who need money for whatever purpose. The rich will get much richer and the poor will get poorer by whatever the rich take from them.

I think you are close, but wrong. Wealth is destroyed just like it is created. Wealth created is not eternal.

Think about the relocation of manufacturing to China. There was a wealth of industries in America that provided for raw materials suppliers, engineers, support infrastructure, refiners, transporters, etc. It was not just a relocation of wealth. The machine of production was stopped in America and a clone was set up in China. Yes, some wealth was relocated, but the machine generating wealth was killed for a dirtier and less efficient machine.

It looks on the surface, like a transfer of wealth. It was worse than that. It was killing one body and feeding it to another. Wealth is a pure value that is born into a corrupted body. What has happened is not just transferring the mechanism of that wealth, but the corruption as well. The new body is twice corrupted because it is adding the old to their natural corruption. Damn- I know this is sounding like nonsense but you will see the result soon. The wealth of nations is being destroyed by their corruption.

Because:

1. There are some superb commentaries here.

2. Two and a half years have now passed. Let us contrast the dire predictions in the OP with our present circumstance. You have to admit, TPTB are doing a superb job of maintaining economic stability, or at least only modest decay.

Or are we economically speaking walking towards the edge of one of those sink holes down in Florida - chilling metaphor.

We need to stop posting "Articles" that literally include advertisements from precious metals dealers. This isn't a real "News" story. This is bullshit advertising.

Nobody, especially a Rothschild, telegraphs his position WHILE he is buying...which raises price/demand.

This is either the usual pump-and-dump or this precious metal dealer's invented "News" story.
