Glad you found it useful. I hope it reinforces that there’s a lot we can do—this isn’t something we have to just watch happen. The more we understand, the more we can act.
That’s exactly what this is for—practical action, not just theory. Great to hear you’re putting some of the strategies into practice. Keep us posted on how it goes!
Thank you. I’ve been asking our financial planner about this and getting platitudes. Im watching the deregulation in my own industry and want to prepare, but I can’t find easy information about setting up offshore banking accounts, and it looks like Revolut and Wise are still FDIC insured. I’d love more articles on the specifics of those sorts of protections as well.
Thank you so much. If we do open an account in a Canadian bank, do we do it with an American check? Money order? Cash? I'm assuming the account has to be opened in Canada and not a Canadian bank in the US? Thanks again. You also mentioned that credit unions might be safer. Who holds the NCUA? Isn't that also a government entity? Sorry about all the questions!
That’s a good question, and one that’s highly personal based on individual financial situations. A financial professional that you trust to understand your concerns around this would be the best resource to explore options for retirement accounts while minimizing penalties. The key is understanding your own level of risk tolerance and making decisions that align with your long-term stability.
That’s the question… is there any long term stability? My “guy” said the markets are fine, there is enough money to back it up. But it seems like such a narrow view.
It really is. What we define as ‘stability’ has already shifted, and mainstream financial perspectives tend to focus on short-term reassurance rather than long-term structural risks. Everyone is struggling to figure out what this will mean while working in roles that require us to exhibit confidence.
I think it’s worth considering multiple perspectives, especially in moments like this, but ultimately, everyone has to determine what level of risk they’re willing to tolerate.
Thank you!!! It is a lot to digest! Who is writing these articles? The only “ critical Resistance” organization that I could find was about prison reforms.
The work stands on its own—what matters is the information, not the person behind it. One of the biggest things we have to break is the idea that authority figures are inherently trustworthy. Critical thinking starts with verifying sources and recognizing patterns, not relying on individuals to tell us the truth.
In times like these, it’s safer for those warning others to remain focused on the message rather than becoming the story.
Look at sources, independently verify, and read about any referenced historical event—see if you start recognizing the patterns for yourself.
I’m not doing anything but tying together events in a way that gives people a clearer picture. The goal isn’t to trust me; it’s to build the habit of questioning, verifying, and understanding the systems at play.
If something I’ve written doesn’t hold up under scrutiny, it should be discarded. But if it does, then the focus should be on what to do with that knowledge, not who wrote it.
This orange shit smear and his South African commander - whose tiny balls are being juggled by Putin will never get away with betraying America and aiding an enemy! Both they and the assortment of vile underlings - Republican representatives - who are wantonly sabotaging our democracy will be led to the gallows for their malfeasance.
I appreciate all of the information and would suggest a good content editor! Lots of duplicated references… more is not better, and can dilute the strength of your message.
I appreciate the feedback. The guide is structured so that people with different priorities can take what they need without missing key information.
Some points are repeated intentionally in different contexts to ensure that critical warnings aren’t overlooked—especially for those who might not read the full document in one sitting.
But I’ll definitely take another pass to refine phrasing where possible. Thanks for engaging with it!
It would be great to know if the banking crisis is looming what are the politicians, and the billionaires doing to protect themselves, and cannot trickle down to most Americans….
I’m leaning towards Treasury backed mutual funds at a quality fund house like Vanguard. I think the government will honor treasuries even when all else fails. Thoughts?
I feel like the main question is around 401k. I don’t have a house nor the money to purchase one but I have a decent sized 401k for my age and I fear all of that money will be gone before too long... the penalty would be horrific, but better than losing it all…
File this under IMPORTANT! Or TOP PRIORITY!
Wow! That’s a lot to digest! I can tell I need to reeducate myself on this subject. Thank you for this very informative article.

Sheesh, no kidding! 😂😂😂 Too much effing information WTF?! However, I took snap shots of what I thought was more important." 😮💨🤪
Take what you need! Print it out, highlight what resonates, and share it however you can.
I restocked it immediately. We're already starting to implement some of your suggestions from earlier posts.

By the way,your articles are impressive!,,❤️
What about retirement accounts that we cannot withdraw from without penalties? Redistribute funds to different accounts to maintain less than $250K?

Ask questions and be persistent, if necessary. Don't take any platitudes.
I moved 60% of my retirement funds into international mutual funds. The remaining 40% into bonds and stable accounts.
Banks can’t be trusted. They have proven that over and over.
Thank you, this is very informative

I appreciate the value of your anonymity, but how do we know that your information is trustworthy?

FWIW, I've been reading history for a long time. It's a hobby of mine. Some of the signs that history teaches are already starting to appear.

I’m ok with a banking collapse.
Do you recommend opening a foreign bank account or does just converting some money into a foreign currency do something positive?

I’m Confused as to why we even need banks anymore ??? They seem irrelevant, relics of a different era …

Financial advisors just act like you’re crazy when you bring this up which I’d have agreed with prior to Nov 6 2024
