Kondratieff is changing America!

Some have questioned our opinion that there is a Super Tsunami “Kondratieff” Long-Wave, and that such a generational and secular down-turn could generate over-whelmingly negative effects on the American economy and American’s lives.  And most especially, some deny, that there will be dramatic changes in American's life styles as the economy implodes and devolves under the constant onslaught of the "Kondratieff."

Well Folks,  those changes are afoot in this country in literally every aspect and element of our lives in this once great land.  In our opinion, if anything, we have under dramatized the horrific and ubiquitously seminal changes that have and will alter almost every aspect of our lives in this country.

Here are just two articles from today that a friend just sent us.

When you read these, please consider the full implications of ALL these things, which do affect American's sense of safety and opportunity, i.e. the twin pillars of economic activity - in our opinion.

Are you and your company ready for wave number two of the Super Tsunami “Kondratieff’ Long Waves that will break over all the earth in late 2014 to mid 2015?

Hitchhiker writing 'Kindness' book shot in Montana

By MATTHEW BROWN, June 11,2012 | Associated Press – 4 hrs ago

“ BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A man hitchhiking across the country and writing a memoir called "The Kindness of America" was injured in a random drive-by shooting along a rural highway near northeastern Montana's booming Bakken oil patch, authorities said Monday.

Ray Dolin, 39, of West Virginia, was shot in the arm as he approached a pickup Saturday evening thinking the driver was offering him a ride, said Valley County Sheriff Glen Meier.

…The shooting follows another random attack earlier this year in which a 43-year-old teacher from nearby Sidney, Mont., was allegedly kidnapped and killed by two Colorado men on their way to the Bakken.

…Meier did not know if any words were exchanged between the alleged shooter and victim before Dolin was shot. He said they did not know one another.

"He was sitting down to have a little lunch and this guy drives up. He thought he was going to give him a ride and as he approached the vehicle, the guy pulls out his weapon and shoots him. It's as simple as that," Meier said.

Danielson's criminal history in Washington state includes intimidation and assault, Meier said. Details were not immediately available.

“The recession crushed the net worth of middle-class families as real estate values tumbled, according to a survey released by the Federal Reserve on Monday.

The Fed’s survey of consumer finances between 2007 and 2010, which is adjusted for inflation, showed median income fell 7.7% from $49,600 in 2007 to $45,800 in 2010 and that median net worth fell 38.8% from $126,400 in 2007 to $77,300 in 2010, approximately the level recorded in 1992.

The drop was concentrated in middle-class families. Those in the 60th to 79.9th percentile of income saw the biggest drop in wealth, of 40.4%. … The top 10% of earners had a median net worth of $1.19 million, or 192 times as much as the median wealth of $6,200 of those in the bottom 20%. In 2007, the top 10% had 138 times as much wealth as the bottom 20%. In 2001, it was 106 times as much. …”
