“I know not with what weapons World War III will
be fought, but World War IV will be fought with
sticks and stones”?
Remember his famous quote
“I know not with what weapons World War III will
be fought, but World War IV will be fought with
sticks and stones”?
I am afraid this is where we are headed unless of a
miracle…
Since the 1990s, I’ve been studying the so-called
“cycles of war” — the natural rhythms that
predispose societies to descend into chaos, into
hatred, into civil and even international war.
Although very few people are willing to even discuss
the issue today, I foresee a major war happening
within the next year in the Middle East which
implications could be absolutely huge.
Yes it is all due to the global economic malaise we
are experiencing the world over and the
emboldening of the rogue states given our failed
foreign policy in the Middle East over the last three
decades.
It is a fact throughout history that currency wars
lead to trade wars, which often lead to hot wars.
The last time there was a series of competitive
devaluations … it ended in world war
two….remember?
Besides, I am afraid that the bureaucracy wants a
war. This will distract everyone from the NSA and
justify what they have been doing. They need a
distraction for the economic decline that is coming.
After all, war plans against Syria were really about
debt and spending…. And given that many
influential economists wrongly believe that war is
good for the economy … many were overtly or
quietly pushing for war.
Same thing for Libya… Nothing to do with spreading
freedom and democracy and saving people’s lives…
It was all because Gaddafi – talking about a Gold
dinar – was planning an all-African currency for
conducting trade.
The same thing happened to him that happened to
Saddam because the US didn’t want any solid
competing currency out there v/s the dollar.
Is this the first time a revolutionary group has
created a central bank while it is still in the midst of
fighting the entrenched political power?
It certainly seems to indicate how extraordinarily
powerful central bankers have become in our era.
Where does this all lead us to?
Well, it will not be the end of the world, but the
social fabric of the profligate nations will be
stretched and in some cases torn.
Bottom Line: I believe War is an inevitable
consequence of the current global economic
situation. After all, it is the norm throughout history
that if the global economy doesn’t recover, people
go to war.
What I am then most fearful of is the US
government seizing our 401ks with taxes as part of a
move by them to use long-term assets to fill “short-
term deficits”. Come to think of it further, they have
already done so.
The forced-feeding of banks with fresh capital –
whether they want it or not – and the seizure of the
Fannie/Freddie mortgage giants before they were in
fact in trouble shows that private property can be
co-opted – or eliminated – with little due process.
The writing is on the wall for private pensions.
Once the dollar becomes too weakened by the
printing of vast amounts of them in order to finance
Washington’s budget deficit and to support the
solvency of “banks too big too fail,” QE will have to
end.
Desperate for money to fill the gap, Washington
may then turn to confiscation of private assets
should any be left after the coming economic
collapse.
Scary thoughts indeed… but not impossible.
Have you thought of all of this and the implications on
your well being?
Are you prepared for these new kinds of war never
experienced before?
What are you doing about it?
Share your thoughts.
Thank you,
