My Greatest Fear...

Well, Hillary Clinton has
become irrelevant! Woo Hoo!! But what is in store for us now??
Societal collapse comes in many colors and its causes a thousand
more. While there are some easy to dream up situations, like say an
EMP attack from Iran or the NORKs, what about the more convoluted
paths to collapse??
Currently the Stock
Market is blazing its way up the record charts, that has me very
nervous. Why? Because markets don't crash on the bottom. Also, there
is plenty of proof out there to suggest that it is easily
manipulated, another words, they don't crash by themeselves.
In
1999, economist Paul Krugman was critical of Soros's effect on
financial markets.
"[N]obody who has read a business magazine in the last few years can be unaware that these days there really are investors who not only move money in anticipation of a currency crisis, but actually do their best to trigger that crisis for fun and profit. These new actors on the scene do not yet have a standard name; my proposed term is 'Soroi'." Readmore
George Soros, the man that “Broke the Bank of England” has been involved in the manipulation of the markets and currencies for a long time. He was heavily involved in messing up the market even worse than it was during the Housing Collapse...
“The collapse in the American stock markets was a calamity for the campaign of John McCain. In September, McCain was running strongly against Barack Obama. Some polls had him leading Barack Obama by 3 percent before the market broke. By October 7th, Obama had taken the lead across America. What changed in one month? The trigger was the market crash. Who pulled the trigger and why? Who benefited?”
“During the collapse of the stock market, noted Wall Street commentator and CNBC star James Cramer noted that traditional short-sellers were not as active as one might expected ("regular short sellers are not doing this" and "traditional short sellers are not active" and "are not so patriotic that they would be doing this"), and said that his sources have mentioned that "financial terrorism" may be at work.”

Back
in 2008 Anne Applebaum penned an article
titled The Iceland Syndrome in the Washington Post. It began with
this...
“Imagine
this scenario: In a medium-size European country -- call it Country X
-- the bank regulators hold an ordinary meeting. These being
extraordinary times, the regulators discuss the health of various
banks, including the country's largest -- call it Bank Y -- which is
owned by an even larger Italian financial group. Last spring, Bank Y,
which is perfectly healthy, transferred a large sum to its now
somewhat-less-healthy Italian parent; since this is nothing unusual,
the regulators drop the subject and move on.
The
following day, the matter is reported in a marginal, far-right
newspaper in somewhat different terms: "A billion dollars
transferred to Italy! Country X's hard-earned money going abroad!"
Within hours, as if on cue, everyone starts selling shares in Bank Y,
whose stock price plunges. So does the rest of Country X's smallish
stock market. So does Country X's currency. Within a few more hours,
Country X is calling for an international bailout, the IMF is on the
phone and the government is wobbling.
Except
for that final sentence -- there was no international bailout or call
to the International Monetary Fund, and the government is fine --
that is a brief description of something that happened last week to
one of Poland's largest banks. A real meeting, followed by an
unsubstantiated rumor in a dodgy newspaper, and a bunch of nervous
investors started selling. Shares in the bank collapsed by the
largest margin in its history; for one ugly day, they dragged down
the rest of the Polish stock market and currency as well. ”
She
finishes her article up with...
“If
you wanted to destabilize a country, wouldn't this be an excellent
time to do it? If Country X's stock market can crash after the
publication of a single article in an obscure newspaper, think what
might happen if someone conducted a systematic campaign against
Country X. And if you can imagine this, so can others.
All
governments have enemies, internal and external, or at least are
faced with elements that do not wish them well: the political
opposition, the country next door, the former imperial power. For
someone, there will always be the temptation to bring down the
government, destabilize the country and thus create political chaos.Even when there hasn't been political meddling, someone else will suspect that it has occurred, anyway. Here, then, is a prediction: Political instability will follow economic instability like night follows day.”

Ok, that's all water under
the bridge right?? Well lets keep that thought playing in your head
as background music while you think about the next little tidbit...
Were you paying attention to Team O's Quantitative Easing Program???
I stopped counting them after QE4 because it was essentially
QE-Infinity. Where were they pumping the freshly printed, or more
accurately, digitally created USD's??? The Stock Market.
How many USD's did they
prop up the market with???
Byron
Wein of the Blackstone Group says...
“Even
though we’ve seen company earnings more than double between 2009
and 2014, there has been concern that the market rally has largely
been driven by so-called easy money the Fed supplied through its
bond-buying program, or quantitative easing.”
Wien quantifies its contribution:
“It
took the Fed 95 years to build up a balance sheet of $1 trillion and
only six years to go from there to the present level. The Federal
Reserve was providing this stimulus to improve the growth of the
economy, but it is my view that three quarters of the money injected
into the system through the purchase of bonds went into financial
assets pushing stock prices up and keeping yields low. If I am right,
the Fed contributed almost $3 trillion (some may have gone into
bonds) to the $13 trillion rise in the stock market appreciation from
the 2009 low to the current level, earnings increases explained $9
trillion (1.5 x $6 trillion) and other factors accounted for $1
trillion. You could argue that the monetary stimulus financed the
multiple expansion in this cycle.

Now think about that for
a minute, 3 TRILLION dollars was pumped into the Stock Market to prop
it up. The market has since gone wild, What is that 3trl worth now??
Who is in control of that 3trl?. What would happen if that 3trl plus
all of it's gains were pulled out of the Market on January 20th
or some other opportune time?
Now what has the
diabolical George Soros been doing all this year?? He has been
dumping Stocks and buying Gold. So have the Central banks. What do
they know?? Are they figuring on a simple natural “Market
Correction” which would be damaging enough. Or is it possible there
was a back up plan to a Clinton loss?? Or something I am also a firm
believer in, the powers that be on the Left maybe never had any
intention of winning the 2016 election, which would explain why they
put the person with the most beatable background into that position.
Now, how do you get back
into power as quickly as possible?? You destroy the economy. In 2
years they could easily regain the House and Senate if the Economy
crashed. If that happened, they could easily curb any positive
progress and easily put 100% of the blame on Trump. Therefore walking
into the Whitehouse in 2020 with ease.
That is my primary
nightmare right now... Sure WWIII is also high on the list, but
Economic Collapse is the most likely in my opinion, and the “Powers
that be”, definitely have a plan.
DO YOU??
