We
witnessed something truly historic happen on Friday. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average plummeted 530 points, and that followed a 358 point crash on Thursday.
When you add those two days together, the total two day stock market crash that
we just witnessed comes to a grand total of 888 points, which
is larger than any one day stock market crash in U.S. history. It is also
interesting to note that this 888 point crash comes in the 8th month of our
calendar. Perhaps that is just a coincidence, and perhaps it is
not. It just struck me as being noteworthy. This is the first time
that the Dow has dropped by more than 300 points on two consecutive days since
November 2008, and we all remember what was happening back then.
Overall, this was the worst week for the Dow in four years, and there have only
been five other months throughout history when the Dow has
fallen by more than a thousand points (the most recent being October
2008). Of course we still have six more trading days left in August, so
there is plenty of time remaining for even more carnage. (Read More....)
What
has been happening on Wall Street the past few days has been nothing short of
stunning. On Thursday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 358
points. It was the largest single day decline in a year and a
half, and investors are starting to panic. Overall, the Dow is now down more
than 1300 points from the peak of the market. Just yesterday, I
wrote about all of the experts that are warning
about a stock market crash in 2015, and after today I am sure that a lot
more people will start jumping on the bandwagon. In particular, tech stocks
are getting absolutely hammered lately. The Nasdaq has fallen close to
3.5% over the past two days alone, and it has dropped below its 200-day moving
average. The Russell 2000 (a small-cap stock market index) is also now
trading below its 200-day moving average. What all of this means is that
the stock market crash of 2015 has already begun. The only question left
to answer at this point is how bad it will ultimately turn out to be. (Read More....)
Is
the stock market going to crash by the end of 2015? Of course stock
market crashes are already happening in 23 different nations
around the planet, but most Americans dont really care about those
markets. The truth is that what matters to people in this country is the
health of their own stock portfolios and retirement accounts. There are a
lot of people out there that are very afraid of what could happen if the money
that they have worked so hard to save gets wiped out in a sudden financial
collapse. And right now there is an unprecedented amount of buzz about
the potential for a giant stock market crash by the end of this calendar
year. In fact, I dont think that I have ever seen more experts come out
with bold predictions that a stock market crash will happen within a very
specific period of time. (Read More....)
Yields on the riskiest junk bonds
are absolutely soaring and the price of copper just hit a fresh six year
low. To most people, those pieces of financial news are
meaningless. But if you understand history, and you are aware of the
patterns that immediately preceded previous stock market crashes, then you know
how how huge both of those signs are. During the summer
of 2008, junk bond prices absolutely cratered as junk bond yields
skyrocketed. This was a very clear signal that financial markets were
about to crash, and sure enough a couple of months later it happened. Now
the exact same thing is happening again. The following
comes from a Wall Street On Parade article that was posted on Tuesday
entitled Keep
Your Eye on Junk Bonds: Theyre Starting to Behave Like 08
(Read More....)
You
can stop waiting for a global financial crisis to happen. The truth is
that one is happening right now. All over the world, stock markets are
already crashing. Most of these stock market crashes are occurring in
nations that are known as emerging markets. In recent years, developing countries in
Asia, South America and Africa loaded up on lots of cheap loans that were
denominated in U.S. dollars. But now that the U.S. dollar has been
surging, those borrowers are finding that it takes much more of their own local
currencies to service those loans. At the same time, prices are crashing for many of the commodities
that those countries export. The exact same kind of double whammy caused
the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980s and the Asian financial crisis of
the 1990s. (Read More....)
Once upon a time, it was popular
to say that the U.S. government only had enough wheat stored up to provide
everyone in America with half a loaf of bread. But that is not true
anymore. Recently, I discovered that the U.S. does not have any strategic
grain reserves left at all. Zero. Nada. Zilch. As you
will see below, the USDA liquidated the remaining reserves back in 2008.
So if a major food crisis hit this country, our government would have nothing
to give us. Of course the federal government could always go out and try
to buy or seize food to feed the population during a major emergency, but that
wouldnt
actually increase the total amount of food that was available. Instead,
it would just give the government more power over who gets it. (Read More....)
Those
that run food banks all over America say that demand for their services just
continues to explode. It always amazes me that there are still people out
there that insist that an economic collapse is not happening.
From their air-conditioned homes in their cushy suburban neighborhoods they
mock the idea that the U.S. economy is crumbling. But if they would just
go down and visit the local food banks in their areas, they would see how much
people are hurting. According to Feeding America spokesman Ross Fraser, 46 million Americans got food
from a food bank at least one time during 2014. Because the demand has
become so overwhelming, some food banks are cutting back on the number of days
they operate and the amount of food that is given to each family. As you
will see below, many impoverished Americans are lining up at food banks as
early as 6:30 in the morning just so that they can be sure to get something
before the food runs out. And yet there are still many people out there
that have the audacity to say that everything is just fine in America.
Shame on them for ignoring the pain of millions upon millions of their fellow
citizens. (Read More....)
What
I am about to share with you is quite stunning. A well-respected
financial expert that correctly predicted the last two stock market crashes is
now warning that we are right on the verge of the next one. John Hussman
is a former professor of economics and international finance at the University
of Michigan, and the information in his latest weekly market comment is staggering.
Since 1970, there have only been a handful of times when a combination of
market signals that Hussman uses have indicated that a major market peak has
been reached. In 1972, 2000 and 2007 each of those peaks was followed by
a dramatic stock market crash. Now, for the first time since the last
financial crisis, all four of those signals appeared once again during the week
of July 17th. If Hussmans analysis is correct, this could very well mean that
the next great stock market crash in the United States is imminent. (Read More....)
It was an excellent article by Jim Quinn of
the Burning Platform that first alerted me to Hussmans latest warning.
If you dont
follow Quinns
work already, you should, because it is excellent.
When someone is repeatedly correct about
the financial markets, we should all start paying attention. Back in late
2007, Hussman warned us about
what was coming in 2008, but most people did not listen.
Now he is sounding the alarm again.
According to Hussman, when there is a confluence of four key market indicators,
that tells us that the market has peaked and is in danger of crashing.
The following comes from Newsmax
He
cited the metric among the indicators that foreshadowed declines after peaks in
1972, 2000 and 2007:
*Less
than 27 percent of investment advisers polled by Investors Intelligence who say
they are bearish.
*Valuations
measured by the Shiller price-to-earnings ratio are greater than 18 times.
*Less
than 60 percent of S&P 500 stocks above their 200-day moving averages.
*Record
high on a weekly closing basis.
The most recent warning was the week ended July 17,
2015, Hussman said. Its often said that they
dont
ring a bell at the top, and thats true in many cycles. But its interesting
that the same ding has been heard at the most extreme peaks among them.
It
is quite rare for the market to set a new record high on a weekly closing basis
and have more than 40 percent of stocks below their 200-day moving averages at
the same time. That is why a confluence of all these factors is fairly
uncommon. Hussman elaborated on this in his recent report
The
remaining signals (record high on a weekly closing basis, fewer than 27% bears,
Shiller P/E greater than 18, fewer than 60% of S&P 500 stocks above their
200-day average), are shown below. Whats interesting about these warnings is how closely
they identified the precise market peak of each cycle. Internal divergences
have to be fairly extensive for the S&P 500 to register a fresh overvalued,
overbullish new high with more than 40% of its component stocks already falling
its
evidently a rare indication of a last hurrah. The 1972 warning occurred
on November 17, 1972, only 7 weeks and less than 4% from the final high before
the market lost half its value. The 2000 warning occurred the week of March 24,
2000, marking the exact weekly high of that bull run. The 2007 instance spanned
two consecutive weekly closing highs: October 5 and October 12. The final daily
high of the S&P 500 was October 9 right in
between. The most recent warning was the week ended July 17, 2015.
The
following is the chart that immediately followed the paragraph in his report
that you just read
When
I first took a look at that chart I could hardly believe it.
It
appears that Hussmans signals are able to indicate major stock market
crashes with stunning precision.
And
considering the fact that we just hit a new ding for the first time since
the last financial crisis, what Hussman is saying is more than just a little
bit ominous.
According
to Hussman this is not just a recent phenomenon either. Even though advisory
sentiment figures were not available back in 1929, he believes that his
indicators would have given a signal that a market crash was imminent in August of that year as well
Though
advisory sentiment figures arent available prior to the mid-1960s, imputed data suggest
that additional instances likely include the two consecutive weeks of
August 19, 1929 and August 26, 1929. We can infer unfavorable market
internals in that instance because we know that cumulative NYSE breadth was
declining for months before the 1929 high. The week of the exact market peak
would also be included except that stocks closed down that week after
registering a final high on September 3, 1929. Another likely instance, based
on imputed sentiment data, is the week of November 10, 1961, which was
immediately followed by a market swoon into June 1962.
Of
course the past is the past, and what has happened in the past will not
necessarily happen in the future.
So
is Hussman wrong this time? With all of the other things that are happening
in the financial world right now, I certainly would not bet against him.
Other
financial professionals are concerned that a market crash could be imminent as
well. The following comes from a piece authored by Andrew Adams
More than 13% of stocks on the New York Stock Exchange are at 52-week
lows, which is about 6 standard deviations above the average over the last
three years (1.62%) and an
extreme only seen one other time during said period (last October when the
S&P 500 was percentage points away from a 10% correction).
This
dichotomy has created what I believe to be the biggest question about the stock
market right now have we already experienced a stealth correction in
the majority of stocks that will soon come to an end or will the market leaders
finally succumb to the weight of the laggards and join in on the sell-off? The
answer to this could end up being worth at least $2.2 trillion, which is how
much money would essentially be wiped out of the stock market if we finally get
the much-discussed 10% correction in the overall market (the total
U.S. stock market capitalization was $22.5 trillion as of June 30, according to
the Center for Research in Security Prices).
Sometimes,
a picture is worth more than a thousand words. I could share many more
quotes from the experts about why they are concerned about a potential stock
market collapse, but instead I want to share with you a bonus chart that Zero Hedge
posted on Tuesday
Do
you understand what that is saying?
In
2007 and 2008, junk bonds started crashing well before stocks did.
Now,
we are witnessing a similar divergence. If a similar pattern holds up
this time, stocks have a long, long way to fall.
Like
Hussman and so many others, I believe that a stock market crash and a new
financial crisis are imminent.
The
month of August is usually a slow month in the financial world, so hopefully we
can get through it without too much chaos. But once we roll into the
months of September and October we will officially be in the danger zone.
Keep
an eye on China, keep an eye on Europe, and keep listening for serious
trouble at too
big to fail
banks all over the planet.
The
next several months are going to be extremely significant, and we all need to
be getting ready while we still can.
Most
nations in South America are either already experiencing an economic recession
or are right on the verge of one. In general, South American economies
are very heavily dependent on exports, and right now they are being absolutely
shredded by the twin blades of a commodity price collapse
and a skyrocketing U.S. dollar. During the boom times in South America,
governments and businesses loaded up on tremendous amounts of debt. Since
much of that debt was denominated in U.S. dollars, South American borrowers are
now finding that it takes much more of their own local currencies to service
and pay back those debts. At the same time, there is much less demand for
commodities being produced by South American nations in the international
marketplace. As a result, South America is heading into a full-blown financial
crisis which will cause years of pain for the entire continent. (Read More....)
Can you
feel the panic in the air? CNN Moneys Fear & Greed Index
measures the amount of fear in the financial world on a scale from 0 to
100. The closer it is to zero, the higher the level of fear. Last Monday,
the index was sitting at a reading of 36. As I write this article, it has
fallen to 7. The financial turmoil which began last week is
threatening to turn into an avalanche. On Sunday night, we witnessed the second
largest one day stock market collapse in China ever, and this pushed stocks all
over the planet into the red. Meanwhile, the twin blades of an emerging
market currency crisis and a commodity price crash are
chewing up economies that are dependent on the export of natural resources all
over the globe. For a long time, I have been warning about what would
happen in the second half of 2015, and now it is here. The following is a
summary of the financial carnage that we have seen over the past 24 hours
(Read More....)
Things
continue to line up in textbook fashion for a major financial crisis by the end of 2015. This week, Wall Street
has been buzzing about the first death cross that we have seen for the Dow since 2011. When
the 50-day moving average moves below the 200-day moving average, that is a
very important psychological moment for the market. And just like during
the run up to the stock market crash of 2008, we are starting to witness lots
of wild swings up and down. The Dow was up more than 200 points on
Monday, the Dow was down more than 200 points on Tuesday, and it took a nearly
700 point roundtrip on Wednesday. This is exactly the type of behavior that
we would expect to see during the weeks or months leading up to a crash.
As any good sailor will tell you, when the waters start getting very choppy
that is not a good sign. Of course what China is doing is certainly not
helping matters. On Wednesday, the Chinese devalued the yuan for a second day in a row,
and many believe that a new currency war has now begun. (Read More....)
Did
you see what just happened? The devaluation of the yuan by China
triggered the largest one day drop for that currency in the modern era.
This caused other global currencies to crash relative to the U.S. dollar, the
price of oil hit a six year low, and stock markets all over the world were
rattled. The Dow fell 212 points on Tuesday, and Apple stock plummeted another 5 percent. As we
hurtle toward the absolutely critical months of September and October, the
unraveling of the global financial system is beginning to accelerate. At
this point, it is not going to take very much to push us into a full-blown
worldwide financial crisis. The following are 12 signs that indicate that
a global financial crash has become even more likely after the events of the
past few days

Are
we about to witness a new round of racially-charged protests, riots and
demonstrations all across the United States? On Sunday night, a protest
that had been organized to commemorate the one year anniversary of Michael
Browns
death in Ferguson, Missouri took a very violent turn. An 18-year-old
named Tyrone Harris that is being described as a real close friend of Michael Brown opened fire on police with a
stolen handgun. Police returned fire and Harris got hit. He is now
in the hospital and his prognosis is uncertain. Of course this just
raised tensions to an entirely new level, and at this point a state of emergency
has been declared in Ferguson. (Read More....)
Gerald
Celente of the Trends Research Institute has just gone on the record with a
prediction that there will be a stock market crash by the end of this calendar
year. If you are not familiar with Gerald Celente, he is one of the most
highly respected trends forecasters in the entire world. He has been
featured on CNN, The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Today Show, Good Morning America,
CBS Morning News, NBC Nightly News and Coast to Coast AM. Personally, I
have a lot of respect for him. While it is true that not every single one
of his forecasts about the future came to pass over the years, he does have a
very solid track record that goes back for decades. He correctly
predicted the 1987 stock market crash, the bursting of the dotcom bubble and
the financial panic of 2008. Just a couple of days ago, he told Eric King
the following: Im now
predicting that we are going to see a global stock market crash before the end
of the year. Celente says that
it wont
just be U.S. stocks either. He believes that crashes are also coming to the DAX, the FTSE, the
CAC, Shanghai, and the Nikkei. It other words, it is going to be a truly
global financial crisis and he says that there is going to be panic on the
streets from Wall Street to Shanghai and from the UK down to Brazil. (Read More....)
In
an eerie repeat of what we witnessed in 2008, U.S. stocks are steadily sliding
throughout the summer as we head toward the month of September. From
August 1st, 2008 to September 1st, 2008 the Dow fell by nearly 700 points.
And of course we all remember what happened the following month. Right
now, we are watching a similar thing happen. The Dow has plummeted nearly
700 points since July 16th, and it is down nearly 900 points from the peak of
the market back in May. At this point the Dow has now fallen for six days
in a row and eleven of the last thirteen. Of course most of the talking
heads on television are still insisting that everything is going to be just
fine and that a repeat of 2008 is not possible. So what do you
think? Should we trust them? (Read More....)
The
list of nations around the globe that have collapsing economies just continues
to grow. In recent weeks I have written about the ongoing saga in Greece,
the stock market crash in China, the debt crisis in Puerto Rico and the economic meltdown in South America. But there are more
economic flashpoints that I have not even addressed yet. For example, did
you know that a full-blown economic collapse is happening in Iraq right
now? And did you know that the economy of Ukraine is contracting rapidly
and that it cannot pay its debts? Back in 2008, the financial crisis was
primarily centered on the United States, but this time around it is turning out
to be a truly global phenomenon. (Read More....)
Will
there be a financial collapse in the United States before the end of
2015? An increasing number of respected financial experts are now warning
that we are right on the verge of another great economic crisis. Of
course that doesnt mean that it will happen. Experts have been
wrong before. But without a doubt, red flags are popping up all over the place and things
are lining up in textbook fashion for a new financial
crisis. As I write this article, U.S. stocks have declined four days in a
row, the Dow is down more than 750 points from the peak of the market in May,
and one out of every five U.S. stocks is already in a bear market. I fully
expect the next several months to be extremely chaotic, and I am far from
alone. The following are 8 financial experts that are warning that a
great financial crisis is imminent
(Read More....)
The month of August sure has
started off with a bang. Tech stocks are crashing, oil is crashing,
industrial commodities are crashing, Greek stocks crashed the moment that the
Greek stock market reopened for trading, and Chinese stocks continue to
crash. At this point we have not seen a broad crash of U.S. stocks yet,
but it is important to note that the Dow is already down more than 700 points
from the peak in May. If it continues to slide like it has in recent
days, it wont
be too long before we will officially reach correction territory. Just a
few days ago, I described August as a pivotal month, and so far that is indeed turning out to be the
case. (Read More....)
Is
Barack Obama trying to kill the economy on purpose? On Sunday, we learned
that Obama is imposing a nationwide 32 percent carbon dioxide emission
reduction from 2005 levels by the year 2030. When it was first proposed
last year, Obamas plan called for a 30 percent reduction, but the
final version is even more dramatic. The Obama administration admits that
this is going to cost the U.S. economy billions of dollars a year and that
electricity rates for many Americans are going to rise substantially. And
what Obama is not telling us is that this plan is going to kill what is left of
our coal industry and will destroy countless numbers of American jobs.
The Republicans in Congress hate this plan, state governments across the
country hate this plan, and thousands of business owners hate this plan.
But since Barack Obama has decided that this is a good idea, he is imposing it
on all of us anyway. (Read More....)
Are you ready for what is coming
in August? All over America, economic, political and social tensions are
building, and the next 30 days could turn out to be pivotal. In July, we
saw things start to turn. As you will read about below, a major six year
trendline for the S&P 500 was finally broken this month, Chinese stocks
crashed, commodities crashed, and debt problems started erupting all over the
planet. I fully expect that this next month (August) will be a month of
transition as we enter an extremely chaotic time in the fall and winter.
Things are unfolding in textbook fashion for another major global
financial crisis in the months ahead, and yet most people refuse to see what is
happening. In their blind optimism, they want to believe that things will
somehow be different this time. Well, the coming months will definitely
reveal who was right and who was wrong. The following are 11 red flag
events that just happened as we enter the pivotal month of August 2015
(Read More....)
Is
September 2015 going to be a month that changes history? For months,
there has been an unprecedented amount of buzz all over the Internet about what
is going to happen in September. And without a doubt, we are going to
witness a convergence of events during that month that is quite remarkable.
What I have attempted to do in this article is to put together a list of things
that we know will happen next month. Some of the lists that I have seen
contain things that cannot be proven or that are simply inaccurate. And
of course it is very likely that some things will happen in September that we
cannot anticipate right now. I am just providing the information that I
have at this time, and it is up to you and your family to prepare for what you
believe will happen. The following is my big list of 33 things that are
going to happen in September 2015

September 1 This marks the beginning of FEMAs annual National Preparedness Month
September 7 Labor Day
September 11 The 14th anniversary (7+7) of 9/11
September 11 The last day of trading on Wall Street before the
end of the Shemitah year
September 12 Madonnas Rebel Heart Tour opens in the United States.

Desecration of The Bride and Arrival of Fallen Angels
September 12 and September 13 Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, a leading authority in
Ultra-Orthodox Judaism, has indicated that the Messiah that the Jewish people
are expecting could come at this time
September 13 The last day of the Shemitah year. During the
last two Shemitah cycles, we witnessed record-breaking stock market crashes on
the very last day of the Shemitah year (Elul 29 on the Biblical
calendar). For example, if you go back to September 17th, 2001 (which was
Elul 29 on the Biblical calendar), we witnessed the greatest one day stock
market crash in all of U.S. history up until that time. The Dow plunged 684 points, and it was a record that
held for exactly seven years until the end of the next
Shemitah cycle. On September 29th, 2008 (which was also Elul 29 on the
Biblical calendar), the Dow plummeted 777 points, which still today remains
the greatest one day stock market crash of all time in the United States.
Now we are in another Shemitah year. It began in the fall of 2014, and it
ends on September 13th, 2015.
September 13 Partial solar eclipse
September 14 Rosh Hashanah
September 14 The first day of trading on Wall Street after the
end of the Shemitah year
September 15 The 70th session of the UN General Assembly begins
on this date. It has been widely reported that France plans to introduce
a resolution which will give formal UN Security Council recognition to a Palestinian state shortly after the new
session begins. Up until now, the U.S. has always been the one blocking
such a resolution, but Barack Obama has already indicated that things may be
different this time around. It would be extremely difficult to overstate
the significance of this.
September 15 The Jade Helm military exercises are scheduled to
end
September 17 If there is going to be a rate hike in September,
this is probably when the Federal Reserve

September 24 The Pope addresses a joint session of the U.S.
Congress
September 25 On May 14th, 2014 French Foreign Minister Laurent
Fabius famously proclaimed that we had only 500 days to avoid climate chaos. His time frame of 500

September 26 and 27 The Pope will be traveling to Philadelphia for the 2015 World Meeting of
Families
September 28 The first day of the Feast of Tabernacles
September 28 This is the date for the last of the four blood moons that fall on Biblical
festival dates during 2014 and 2015. This blood moon will be a supermoon and it will be clearly
visible from the city of Jerusalem.
Due to the ending of the Shemitah year
and numerous other factors, there is rampant speculation that a stock market
crash is going to happen in the United States during the month of
September. Previously, I have expressed my view that a major global
financial crisis is imminent, but my warning covers all of the remaining months
of 2015. Since I cannot prove that a stock market crash will happen next
month, I have left it off the list. But without a doubt, we are entering
the danger zone.
There is also lots of speculation about
unusual activity at the Large Hadron Collider during the month of
September. In my research, I have not yet come across anything that
confirms that. If you have solid information concerning this, please send
it to me. But certainly, what they are doing with the Large Hadron
Collider concerns me greatly. This is something that I covered in a
previous article entitled Will
The Large Hadron Collider Open Up A Portal To Another Dimension?
In addition, I am also aware that there
is a tremendous amount of speculation about an asteroid or a meteor that may or
may not be heading toward our planet next month. At this time, I have no
way of proving this is true, and I have no way of disproving it is true
either. I have not come across anything that I can independently verify
that indicates that this will or will not happen. In law school I was
trained to stick to the facts, and I dont have any facts. If you do have some solid and
verifiable information, please share it with me.
Finally, I would like to acknowledge that
there is plenty of speculation about certain natural disasters that may happen
in September. They may indeed happen, but I cannot prove anything of that
nature right now so I have left those natural disasters off the list.
Needless to say, next month promises to
be absolutely crazy, and our time for preparing is running out.
Disaster can strike very suddenly, and
when it does, average citizens can be caught totally unprepared. This is
a point that Carl Gallups, the author of a new book entitled Be
Thou Prepared: Equipping the Church for Persecution and Times of Trouble, recently made during an
interview with WND
Gallups
identifies specific incidents when civil society collapsed, most notably in New
Orleans immediately following Hurricane Katrina.
You ended up with the worst of both worlds, Gallups observed. You had widespread
criminality, anarchy and disorder, and somehow, at the same time, you had
government officials going around enforcing wildly tyrannical guidelines and
even confiscating firearms.
As
a result, Americans may be forced to rely on themselves for protection,
meaning Christians have to begin planning now.
Even
if it doesnt
happen next month, life in America is about to change dramatically.
The
infrastructure and government services that we have all come to take for
granted may not be there in the future.
It
is imperative that we all start to learn how to become more independent of the
system, because the system is going to start failing in thousands of different
ways.
So
what do you think?
Do
you believe that something significant is going to happen next month?
Why
does the Russian media seem to be far more on the ball than the mainstream
media in the United States much of the time? Could it be possible that
Russian reporters have more freedom to talk about important issues than
reporters that work for the major corporate conglomerates in the United States
do? Of course the Russian media is far from perfect. They put out
pro-Russian propaganda just like the U.S. media puts out pro-American propaganda.
But I must admit that I often find that Russian news sources are willing to
tackle controversial issues that the mainstream media in the United States
would not touch with a ten foot pole. This includes the critical events
that are coming up this September. (Read More...)
What
is going to happen on September 23rd, 2015? For months, there has been an
incredible amount of buzz on the Internet about the month of September, and in
particular there has been a tremendous amount of speculation about the date of
September 23rd. For a long time I didnt pay much attention to
all of this chatter, because I like to stick to things that I can prove.
In law school, I was trained to be very analytical and to greatly value hard
evidence. If you follow my articles regularly, you have probably noticed
those traits reflected in my writing. Well, today I am going to discuss
some things that I cannot prove. I am going to share with you some things
that other people are reporting, and I humbly submit them for your
consideration. Personally, I do not know what is going to happen on
September 23rd, but I have come to the conclusion that there are just way too
many coincidences to ignore.
Ultimately, you need to do your own research and come to your own conclusions. (Read More...)
Is
a great shaking coming to America? An amazing convergence of events is
going to take place during the last several weeks of September 2015. Many
are suggesting that this could indicate that something really big is about to
happen. In fact, some vendors of emergency food are reporting shortages because so many
people are stocking up on food and supplies in anticipation of what is
coming. And of course the list I am about to share with you is not
necessarily exhaustive. There are events that are currently unknown or
unanticipated that could also fall during this time frame. But without a
doubt, the incredible confluence of events that we already know will happen
appears to be unlike anything that we have ever experienced before. (Read More...)
Did
you know that scientists have come to the conclusion that the universe is slowly dying? In fact, they have found that the universe is only
producing about half as much energy as it once did, and they have also found
that the level of energy is continuing to fade. Not only that, our sun
also appears to be dying. Solar activity has slowed down to a level not
seen for about 100 years, and scientists are not quite sure what to make of
it. Pretty much all scientists agree that the sun will die one day, but could it be
possible that it is happening faster than any of them ever imagined? In
addition, in this article I will include information about how the human race
itself is deteriorating. There is a common misconception that humanity
has been constantly improving and getting better, but scientists have discovered
that the exact opposite is actually true. So why is this happening?
Why is everything steadily decaying and deteriorating? (Read More...)
What
in the world is going on over at CERN? Are scientists playing around with
forces that they simply do not understand? Some of the things that I am
going to share with you in this article are deeply disturbing. The European
Organization for Nuclear Research (also known as CERN) is purposely smashing
particles into one another at astonishingly high speeds. If you think
that sounds incredibly dangerous, you are not alone. Scientists all over
the world have suggested that the bizarre experiments taking place at CERN
could either open a black hole, destroy the entire world or open up a portal to
another dimension. But none of those concerns have been taken
seriously. Instead, scientists at CERN just continue to smash more and
more particles into each other at higher and higher speeds. (Read More...)
If
you didnt
like Agenda
21″, then you really are not going to like The 2030 Agenda. Next month, the
United Nations is going to launch The 2030 Agenda at a major conference that will be held from
September 25th to September 27th in New York City. The Pope is actually
traveling to New York to deliver an address which will kick off this
conference. Unlike Agenda 21, which primarily focused on the environment,
the 2030 Agenda is truly a template for governing the entire planet. In
addition to addressing climate change, it also sets ambitious goals for areas
such as economics, health, energy, education, agriculture, gender equality and
a whole host of other issues. As you will see below, this global
initiative is being billed as a new universal Agenda for humanity. If
you are anything like me, alarm bells are going off in your head right about
now. (Read More...)
Will
we soon see World War 3 erupt in the Middle East? Even though Barack
Obama has made a peace deal with Iran, leaders in the region sure are talking a
lot about war. And of course this deal is on very shaky ground. The Israelis hate it,
a significant portion of the U.S. Congress hates it, and the Iranians have
already been accused of breaking the agreement. The odds of this deal holding up over the long
term appear to be somewhere between slim and none. But even if this deal
does survive, that does not mean that everything will be okay in the Middle
East. In fact, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is convinced
that Obamas
deal with Iran will actually lead to war

There has been so much attention on
Greece in recent weeks, but the truth is that Greece represents only a very
tiny fraction of an unprecedented global debt bomb which threatens to explode
at any moment. As you are about to see, there are 24 nations that are
currently facing a full-blown debt crisis, and there are 14 more that are
rapidly heading toward one. Right now, the debt to GDP ratio for the
entire planet is up to an all-time record high of 286 percent, and globally there is approximately
200 TRILLION dollars of debt on the books. That breaks down to about
$28,000 of debt for every man, woman and child on the entire planet. And
since close to half of the population of the world lives on less than 10
dollars a day, there is no way that all of this debt can ever be repaid.
The only solution under our current system is to kick the can down the road
for as long as we can until this colossal debt pyramid finally collapses in
upon itself. (Read More....)
