When Might the Pillaging End? — Jeff Thomas

Recently, I published the comment that, when the present debt bubble eventually pops, ‘governments will lose the economic power to continue their advance against economic freedom.’
The immediate reaction from one reader was, ‘What could we expect next?… The governments and Deep State aren’t going to ‘just go away.”
An excellent question – one which deserves an answer.
We won’t need a crystal ball to find the answer; we can look at history. After all, this isn’t the first time a government has engaged in overreach. In fact, it’s the norm. Political leaders tend to expand countries if they can, then build them into empires, becoming increasingly oppressive along the way, then causing the collapse of the empire – generally through welfare and warfare.
