Are The Government And The Big Banks Quietly Preparing For An Imminent Financial Collapse?
Something
really strange appears to be happening. All over the globe,
governments and big banks are acting as if they are anticipating an
imminent financial collapse. Unfortunately, we are not privy to the
quiet conversations that are taking place in corporate boardrooms and in
the halls of power in places such as Washington D.C. and London, so all
we can do is try to make sense of all the clues that are all around
us. Of course it is completely possible to misinterpret these clues,
but sticking our heads in the sand is not going to do any good either.
Last week, it was revealed that the U.S. government has been secretly
directing five of the biggest banks in America "to develop plans for staving off collapse"
for the last two years. By itself, that wouldn't be that big of a
deal. But when you add that piece to the dozens of other clues of
imminent financial collapse, a very troubling picture begins to emerge.
Over the past 12 months, hundreds of banking executives have been resigning, corporate insiders have been selling off enormous amounts of stock,
and I have been personally told that a significant number of Wall
Street bankers have been shopping for "prepper properties" in rural
communities this summer. Meanwhile, there have been reports that the
U.S. government has been stockpiling food and ammunition, and Barack Obama has been signing a whole bunch of executive orders
that would potentially be implemented in the event of a major meltdown
of society. So what does all of this mean? It could mean something or
it could mean nothing. What we do know is that a financial collapse is
coming at some point. Over the past 40 years, the total amount of all
debt in the United States has grown from about 2 trillion dollars to nearly 55 trillion dollars.
That is a recipe for financial armageddon, and it is inevitable that
this gigantic bubble of debt is going to burst at some point.In normal times, the U.S. government does not tell major banks to "develop plans for staving off collapse".
But according to a recent Reuters article, that is apparently exactly what has been happening....
