Global Depression – A Directed Phenomenon

Is Latin America’s Boom Over? A Pall, Personal and Economic, Falls Over a Regional Summit … A pall was cast over the summit of Mercosur nations in Uruguay this week when Iván Heyn, Argentina’s Undersecretary for Foreign Trade, was found dead, hanged with a belt in his Montevideo hotel room. Heyn, only 34, was a rising star and close friend of the family of Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who was just sworn in Dec. 10 after her landslide re-election victory. Visibly upset, Fernández, who is taking over as chair of the South American trade alliance, could have been speaking in a personal as well as macroeconomic context when she told her fellow heads of state at the end of the summit on Dec. 21, “We have to protect each other.” Uruguayan investigators say they’re trying to determine whether Heyn’s death was a suicide or possibly accidental asphyxiation. – UK Telegraph

Dominant Social Theme: Now South America! What’s going on, fellows? This ain’t fair.

Free-Market Analysis: Oh, boy, who couldn’t see this coming? We’ve written about the BRIC inflationary instability – especially Brazil and India – and now this economic insight has been blessed by that maven of behind-the-times analysis, TIME Magazine.

Yes, TIME Magazine, which only a little while ago, from what we can tell, discovered that China was on the way down, has now figured out that South America is bound to slow down too as its engine, Brazil, sputters and fails. Argentina, of course, has long ceded its economic dominance.

But one needs to ask why should this be? Why should a “boom” yield to a TIME Magazine-analyzed bust? Is it merely the tenor of the times? Is it simply the way the world works? Or is there some other unstated manifestation?

Well … of course there is, in our view. It cannot be stated too many times (since there is an entire, global, mainstream press that will never state it) that the world’s economy is an artificial environment. If it were a “free market” system, it would not be nearly so artificial.

It is an artificial market because the powers-that-be that want to create one-world government need a platform from which to continue their manipulations. It suits their purposes (see other article, this issue) to continue to promote the world’s evident economic decay. Without creating chaos, order (world government) cannot be introduced. First we have a global depression.

A free-market system would be infinitely preferable to this insane, fiat-money global system in which entire continents plunge into recessions and depressions at the same time. But we do not have free markets. It does not suit the elites to allow them to operate.

No, they have moved us in the opposite direction – with honeyed words purveyed by a vast promotional apparatus (including TIME Magazine itself). The world is “interconnected,” we learn over and over. That’s only because the powers-that-be have imposed central banking on virtually every country and coordinate monetary stimulation via the BIS, G20, etc.

What kind of insanity promotes the creation of this kind of centralization, fragility and brittleness? Every regulation that supposedly makes markets “safer” actually further concentrates financial and economic activity and makes economies more prone to booms and busts. It’s like funneling a stampede through the eye of a needle.

Then there are exchanges themselves. Somehow the consolidation continues. It makes no sense, of course, to have just one major exchange trading everything. In reality, fragmentation should be occurring as people use the Internet to set up flexible trading system. But the opposite is happening. The very largest and most destructive trading environments continue to merge – and to ask us to believe it is a natural and “competitive” occurrence.

Meanwhile, central banks continue to do what they do best – print money from nothing in endlessly distortive waves of depreciating currency. First, people feel wealthy and later on – as economic realities sink in – stock markets plunge. Recessions and depressions begin.

That’s where the world is today. It’s no surprise. Everything the ruling classes do (at the behest of the top Anglosphere elites) makes things worse. The centralization that is portrayed as inevitable is an endless feedback loop of ruin.

And still the centralizing tendencies continue! And we are made to believe that the solutions to the problems caused by regulation, global trading and central banking is … more of the same! It makes no sense on any level. Not even at the top. Here’s some more from the TIME Magazine article:

But even before the Undersecretary’s demise, the Mercosur nations were feeling an end-of-the-year malaise – and an urgent need to protect each other’s economies. In short, the continent’s decade-long boom may be ending. According to the U.N.‘s Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), Latin American growth, which topped 6% last year, will slow to 4.3% this year and 3.7% in 2012.
