I have a live doom prediction made in another thread. http://www.ccmb.co.uk/showthread.php...=1#post4661384 I'm sticking with it - so less than 80 days before the cataclysmic event unfolds. I still think it'll be economic rather than military.
Mind, I've thought that since 2008, and I've grown tired of spending hours every day cramped under the sink unit with knees touching chin and a metal colander on my head.
This from an article today by Stephen Lendman in Global Research.
"It’s alarming that many so-called (US-supported) moderate (sic) (anti-government combatants) more often coordinate their actions with” Security Council-designated terrorist groups.
China intends offering Syria humanitarian aid and enhanced military help. On Tuesday, People’s Liberation Army Admiral/high-ranking Defense Ministry official Guan Youfei met with Syrian Defense Minister Fahad Jasssim al-Freij and an unnamed Russian general in Damascus.
Following their meeting, he issued a statement, saying “(t)he Chinese and Syrian militaries traditionally have a friendly relationship, and the Chinese military is willing to keep strengthening exchanges and cooperation with the Syrian military."
Maybe financial? The world economy has been on life-support since 2008, and all they have succeeded in doing is treating the terminally ill patient with sticky plaster. I'm genuinely amazed that they have managed to string it out for so long. Let's see how much longer they can keep those printing presses running at full-steam, and how high the asset bubbles can fly. For sure there is not going to be a happy ending to all of this
I've felt for a long time that Obama will remain president beyond his eight years. The only way that'll happen is a postponement of the upcoming election. It would require a crisis of epic proportions. Some people maintain it couldn't happen as US citizens would be up in arms and it's so important they keep believing they have a real choice when they vote for president every four years. I don't buy that. The topic of this thread, for year after year polls have shown half or more of Americans think their government was complicit in 9-11, yet no-one involved has been put on trial and no popular uprisings. Anyway, I'll plump for a financial crisis that sees banks and cashpoints closed down.
Yeah, some very clued-up financial bods have been made to look foolish by predicting economic collapse at various points since 2008. QE, miniscule interest rates, ballooning government debts, negative yields on a third of those bonds and cooking economic data have avoided panic. The Yanks don't include energy or food price inflation in their CPI number. Their unemployment rate is 4.5%. If it was calculated as it was in the 1930s it would stand at 23%. It reached 25% in 1933 at the height of the Great Depression.
Didn't someone once ask Chairman Mao what he thought was the long term impact of the French Revolution and the reply he received was that it is too early to tell. Maybe we should wait awhile regarding the long term effect of Brexit.
