Out of Pod Experience

Well, that seems at least mildly plausible, but that "-90% worst case scenario" is really that, a (very unlikely) worst case scenario. The yuan gold standard however didn't seem even remotely plausible, then again, you never know.

Now, a 10% to even maybe a 25% drop, that I'd say is not only possible but quite likely.
Maybe not really imminent/soon, but it sort of has to happen eventually with how things are going.
Could be more than just a couple of years until then, probably a decade or even longer.

P.S. Don't get me wrong, a 25% drop would be quite bad for the general public, and even 10% won't be that pretty any time soon.

And yet, the NYSE just recently closed over 14K for the first time in over five years....

Methinks me smells an attempt to maniupulate the market using the hands of the ignorant and gullible.

There are automated failsafes in place ever since the last big US market crash that sense when things are heading down and stimulate the right areas to keep things afloat and stop people from panicking. The problem with that is while they've probably already avoided several 10-25% drops or 'market corrections' if you prefer, they're only worsening any crash that finally does happen.

China has for years now been warning about the inevitable result of all the fed's actions. Perhaps what China is doing is simply taking measures to ensure their economy isn't dragged down with the US, or politely waiting for it to collapse on its own before making the yuan the dominant global currency. Although the only reason i can think of why China would buy so many federal reserve bonds when they have doubts about the federal reserve and the US economy's stability, is so they can either control when the US economy collapses, and/or take over when it does.

Obligatory conspiracy theory: The Bilderberg group is alleged to be planning a collapse of the US economy "that paves the way for a new sustainable economic world order, with less sovereignty but more efficiency.”



Or they stage things like that whenever confidence wanes to make the ignorant and gullible think there's nothing to worry about.

Yes, because investor confidence is something wall street doesn't care about at all. I bet they always just lay bare how bad things really are, and don't even try to fabricate anything to restore confidence, because they are naturally honest people who truly care about hapless investors, even if it means everyone going into panic mode and causing another major market crash. They have ethics, those noble men of wall street.

That would be minor on the scale of shenanigans that go on there.

It's actually based simply on it being a rare metal, and was considered valuable even before we had practical applications for it.

But what ruins the entire thing, is years ago we learned how to make gold in a lab pretty easily, and i'm wondering why that never upset gold markets. But since conspiracies never happen everyone must have just forgot we could.

And it's NOT easy, either. It involves accelerators and particle capture, and produces a horribly radioactive isotope. In microscopic quantities.

The economy is just a simple way to represent resources and strategical advantages, so the real crisis is in resources. We spread like a plague and judgement day is coming.

Right now almost every country in the world is engaged in some form of conflictr, trade wars, cyber wars, low intensity insurrection, propaganda wars,criminal cartels turf wars, guerrilla ops, civil war and full blown military intervention. Those few that are not, are trapped between major powers.

It doesnt matter how much 0's they add in a computer, it will be like typing " show me the money " while trying to rebuild your base in the middle of a zerg rush.

All it takes is for someone to block hormuz and/or the south china sea and evrything will come crashing down.

As for china being the new top dog, they are but only as long as evrybody else implodes before them, this is because the amount of population they have and the lack of resources to support theyre population. The resources they been buying are not enough in fact they too are dealing with two insurrections already.

The ones with the upper hand is the russians, same as above but backwards, and they have provven difficult to destabilizet. Im not defending them but they stop the construction of the missile shield in poland and georgia and now they probably are going to start funding the kurds insurrection to avoid the construction in turkey, effectively buying evrybody more time.


ps- Tin foil........ where?!. Is it on sale?

Thats part of whats fueling the insurrection, support is given to those that could afford it, mostly in big cities while the countrie side is being ignored more and more ( i guess they forgot about mao).

Theyre borders are open but only for corps that want to build slave factories, thats what gave them this economic boom, but they flooded the markets with trash and now there is nobody else to buy it, leaving them with a bunch of abandon cities kind of like dubai.

They may still recover but they will have to deal with the russians, the indians , pakistanies, japanesse and evryone else theyve pissed off in asia.

power overwhelming.......is cheating.

Allow me to give you guys another view of what's being talked about

America is on the verge of civil war. Eighteen months is the timeframe to the 2014 elections. And before then we could be in civil war. If we make it to November 2014 the world might just have a chance of avoiding the abyss being talked about in far too many places these days for it to be an impossibility.

'President' Obama has come dangerously close to multiple violations of the constitution of the united states in moves that could only be seen as dictatorial in power. If any of those moves had actually happened the US would probably explode and the 'insurrection' you discuss would be a full blown violent revolution with the military deciding who wins. (They dont exaclty like the people in charge)

In the state of Washington they attempted to pass a blatant violation of the 4th amendment and they're assaulting the fifth, and the 2nd. (oh for the record democrats) They don't want to attempt the actual process of constitutional amendments because people while dumb arent THAT dumb. Demagoguery has been the order of the day from the white house as 'President' Obama is barely voting present and is refusing to lead in any form. He has not passed a budget since taking office. A violation of US code. Cant exactly arrest the president right?

The spending situation in the united states is no small component of the OP and its closer than most people realize. We can still avert it but if the wall comes crashing down. China might not have much to grab because the US could quite frankly devolve into a situation that is nothing short of terrifying. Oh and they're still covering up and protecting the incident that Killed Vile Rat.
