Rumours aside, something big is about to happen

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

____________________________________________________________________________

Buckle up.

As I type this, a flurry of activity is taking place within security and financial circles around the world. Normally, this would signify just another busy day in the hard-working quarters of modern defence and finance, however this time there is good reason to suspect that the world may be about to witness something historic.

If not something violent, then certainly something spectacular.

I’m not going to waste time on a long, detailed post. Instead, I’m going to present the data, the facts and the patterns. Then I’m going to make you make up your own mind.

First are the financial movements that preceded the security movements, starting with the CNN Money report on October 1st, which shows an unusual .15 yield on treasury bonds. Basically, investors are betting big time on ‘you know what’ hitting the fan shortly.

Digging a little deeper we begin to see  something interesting emerge. As of closing (again, October 1) on Friday, we see some unusually high option volume reported inSchaeffer’s Investment Research supporting this trend.

The S&P traders seemed to be on the bandwagon too. This video showing massive put options on the S&P for October speaks for itself.

It was only today that it became clear to many that the world economy is actuallydecoupling from the U.S, fleeing the sinking ship while it still can. In that industry, you look out for yourself.

To top it off, the other global capital of modern finance, London, has even worsenews. According to an economic think-tank and Sky News, the UK is on the cusp of a second banking failure.  

Now whether all of these events are pointing towards the same thing or not, the theme of something big happening soon is replete throughout the media lately. We should not be scared, nor should we panic. We must take a step back and look carefully at what is going on so that we can assess what, and where, the real danger actually is.

With the unusual activity happening in one place, we could be mistaken for missing the events unfolding in another.

That other place is Western Europe.

This week, the United States and Britain issued a strong travel warning to European-bound tourists. Without offering specifics, they said the threat was “high” and “imminent”, raising more questions than it answered. Yes, this happens from time to time and in most cases nothing comes of it.

That’s why when Japan issued an extremely rare travel warning to its citizens, this developing story suddenly became a lot more interesting to me. An official at the foreign ministry in Tokyo said that the warning “was not prompted by any specific intelligence but by the previous British and American alerts.”

Make of it what you will, but the key phrase here is “unusually rare travel warning”.

So, in summary, we’ve got massive bets on a bumpy ride ahead by prominent investors on the back of warnings concerning imminent terrorist attacks in Europe. 

Surely one can’t be blamed if his ears prick up. We will hear of wars and rumours of war (or stock market crashes, terrorist attacks, etc, etc)

But rumours aside, something big is about to happen.

      Does anyone actually think something spectacular isn’t going to happen? It doesn’t take a scientist to predict the fall of the US and it doesn’t take a soothsayer to predict war is coming. We are meddling in just about every country on the globe. No wonder half the countries in the world are pissed. We have a president who knows absolutely nothing about foreign policy and nothing about economics–he is taking the country down the path to destruction faster than any nuclear attack could do and people blindly go about their business never noticing the climax is on the horizon.

      That’s the thing Authoron people are either sleep walking through life or not intelligent enough to have a clue. Maybe seeing it laid out like this will wake them from the slumber the other’s well they were probably lost anyway.

      > Digging a little deeper

      You did not dig deep at all. There are unusual trade volumes every day without stuff blowing up. For there to be significance, you have to show cause and effect: why these particular items are trading as they are and why others are not.

      It’s ridiculous. When hedge funds were going bankrupt in 2007 because of their exposure to CDOs, it was because of something real, the consequences of which are still playing out. But at the time, most people just stared without comprehension though the cause and effect were 100 percent clear. Today we have chicken littles running around tweeting “imminent!” but nothing happens.

      Does anyone learn from all this?

      Israel appears to be getting ready to attack Hezbollah and Syria. This could start the whole bowl of jello shaking real bad. Israel is the wild card. America? Some key Jews have left the White House – rats jumping ship? Maybe Obama will be soon assassinated and Biden takes us to war? At best it will be a prolonged melt down into extreme poverty for the lower 1/3, but they aren’t organized to do anything.

      I believe what we are currently witnessing is the beginning of the great collapse of the global monetary systems. My heart bleeds piss as the banks continue to fail. Money flows in one direction, from the poor to the rich. So do your part. Rack up as much debt as you can and then refuse to pay. You have nothing to loose because in reality, you own nothing!

      In realty many many of us own a lot and it is now becoming apparent that they may not be able to foreclose on millions of homes. Don’t let them force you out easily. Hold on until the courts rule in your favor. As for me, I sold the house in June 07 and have spent all the money and maxed out my credit cards, and am not paying one cent on them. They can’t touch me now, I have my own business and sources of income and lets see them get the money back. Over my 40 year I paid at rates that more than doubled the amount borrowed. They started an economic war against us with out sourcing, free trade, illegal alien cheap labor and the legal importation of cheap labor. So I am now fighting them economically.

      Things change.That’s the only constant anywhere in the universe at any given moment.
      Given what we’ve seen regarding the economy for the past 50 years,is it really such a surprise that it’s time for a major shift and change??
      There are two major upcoming world financial powers,and China’s only the one getting all the press while everyone overlooks the snow-covered Bear lurking above it–Russia.
      I’ve been watching Russia for years,ever since Communism failed so spectacularly especially,and Russia has only barely started it’s run-up.
      Forget China,watch Russia,that’s where all the money’s going to party.

      Well anonymous,
      You have a tremendous flair for words so why don’t you explain what you mean so the rest of us can decipher whether you are correct or incorrect. If you believe we’re a bunch of sheep then you may be right for the majority, but not everyone of us have our heads up our anal canals. You need to clarify your statement so we can at least agree or disagree.

      Every one talks about China, and the world economy going to hell, but did you know that Germany is the leading export nation with a population of only 82 million compared to China’s 1.2 billion. Germany is the economic story, not china. It is a “socialist” state in which the employees have a major say in how the companies are run. They work 40 hours a week and have six weeks paid vacation, free medical and free university educations.

      Why don’t Americans hear about Germany ? Because our business leaders crave staggering personal profits based upon cheap labor and they don’t want us to know about Germany. You see, Germany is not based upon cheap labor, but upon high paid labor that works efficiently with advanced technology. Their business leaders don’t make criminal profits off of their laborers. An oh yeah I almost forgot, our Jewish media leaders don’t want to give any credit to Germans. I guess though, that you can’t keep a good people down (I am not German or of German descent – I just tell it like it really is).

      I am sorry, but I had to steal this from someone who knows about economies and government spending. None of this is mine–except the comments…
      So the writer thinks we should model our economy after the German economy– I would have said that was a stupid idea regardless of his article but I had to do some research to find the truth. The German economy had a greater fall than our economy and they did use government spending as a temporary measure to bring the economy back, but how much did they actually spend on their quest to get their economy to rebound?

      Our economy fell 3.9% and the German economy fell 4.4% That was between the first quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. n the following thre quarters US growth was 2.6% and Germany’s was 1.5%. Between the first quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2010 our government spending was 2.8% compared to Germany’s 6.6%–”…Thus it is true that during the period when growth was weaker in Germany, German government spending rose more…”"…’But what about Q2 2010 when German GDP rose by 2.2% while U.S. GDP rose by just 0.4% compared to the previous quarter? Well, during that period real government purchases rose by just 0.5% in Germany and by 1.1% in the U.S**.
      So, when German government spending was higher their GDP was weaker. This means the correlation between government purchases and stronger GDP is a not true. According to the Christian Science Monitor.

      Generally, when Government spending increases it has a short term positive influence on the economy and that tends to make those in office look good, but over the long period it does not sustain itself. It’s the same as taking water from the deep end of the pool and pouring into the sahllow end expecting a rise in the overall water level. Keynesian economidcs as used in germany does not work, never has workd and neverwill work. Sorry writer but your example of using Germany for your model was a poor choice.

      Authoran: The statistics that you have cited, still do not disprove that Germany has the worlds largest exports, surpassing China, despite that it only has 1/15 the number of people. How could you deny that impressive achievement? And Germans get six weeks paid vacation, 40 hour weeks, free full medical and college educations. This is way superior to the USA an they achieved this even after taking on the enormous burden of East Germany, which was an economic mess.

      You can only be a knee jerk “conservative” or a jealous Jew. By the way, I am very conservative on many issues, but I have an open mind.

    • Dr. Tickles

      Anon….I don’t think of myself as a knee jerk conservative–Germany has done quite well since the war and mainly because of our help putting them back together. They couldn’t have accomplished anything on their own and when I was there they were accomplishing nothing without the US doing it for them. Now all of the sudden you think their socialist ideas are good and working,and you call me a knee jerk conservative. I lived in Germany for just two years but that was long enough to see that they are not a productive nation. I will give them this…they mimic us quite well.

      As for me being a Jew–You obviously think by calling me a Jew you have somehow slandered me–I suppose that would be your way of thinking you have won some victory. I just happen to be a German who thinks the Jews have been treated unfairly and the Germans were guilty of Genocide. Calling me a Jew would be a tactic of a loser. You can’t handle the facts that socialism does not work and never will work so you attack your opponent with some silly rhetoric.

      I am sorry I wasted my time on you.

      Authoron:

      The facts stand: The most exports, six weeks paid vacation, free medical, free higher education and only 82 million people in a land area smaller than Montana.

      Regarding your statistics, it has been said that “there are lies, damned lies and statistics” – now that is “silly rhetoric”, not that you need a lesson on rhetoric.

      I don’t believe that being a Jew is a slander. It is obvious that you think being called a Jew is a slander – your Jewish induced guilt is showing, but it is so deeply ingrained that you can’t see it. Speaking of genocide, isn’t that what Israel is guilty of ?

      You will notice that I put “socialist” in quotation marks, because I wouldn’t call Germany socialist necessarily. Maybe democratic cooperative capitalism would be better.
