When The World Is Going Down.....

This week, Rick Perry imploded, cities around the world are getting protesters sick of bank tyranny, Iran has done it's usual idiocy, the Palestinians are about to get screwed because they failed to have any sort of semblance of compromise (just like the Tea Party), and economic failure is seemingly a certainty at this point. Whew.

On the foreign angle, Iran has threatened to send warships to American shores, Admadinejad is being sidelined by the Mullahs for not being hard core enough and France and Russia have both warned the country that they are headed for a nuke strike if they keep poking at the rapid bears of Israel and the US. Pakistan relations continue to ebb downward as the ISI has been caught red handed assisting the Taliban in attacks on US troops in Afghanistan. Rumors of war with Pakistan have become much more apparent albeit still unlikely. War is almost inevitable thought one way or another. Why you ask?

Because our economy is going down and there's no way to stop it. This past week, a trader reported on BBC that countries don't exist and Goldman Sachs rules the world. Regular readers of this column know that is exactly what I've been saying for years. Individual countries is a public relation play. Banks control us all. The sentiment was further heralded in an op-ed piece in a Hungarian newspaper by one of the top traders in the country. NYU professor Nuriel Rubini has echoed the same thing. When people who understand what is going on say panic, you panic. Someone has put a multi billion dollar put on the economy cratering in the next few months. 184 billion they stand to make if it does. Do you not think that with that kind of money at stake and psychopathic people making these bids, what do they care of the economy tanks or not?

Israel is now talking about annexing the West Bank and throwing the Palestinians to the wolves. This would definitely lead to a war. But a war may be exactly what the powers that be want for several reasons. One, to make money. Two, to distract people from a dismal economy. And three, did I mention all the money that could be made?

With all of this we have society that is rapidly unraveling. There are zero candidates worth their weight, which is probably why Ron Paul is gaining support as he is the only anti-establishment person up there, which people really want right now. They hate the government and corporations alike and are showing it with protests speaking from NY to Boston to London. The cops are acting like thugs worldwide with reports of senseless violence in NY and Vancouver. Sooner or later, someone's going to go to far and a full fledged riot will be on their hands with bloodlust for any cop found. I applaud the 100 police that have pledged their support for the protesters in NY. We could use more good cops like yourselves and hopefully you can bring more of your brothers along to the good guy side.

Things look bleak. Let's hope that somehow, someway, the light will shine on us all.
