All through the week there has been major trouble on the
stock market. On Monday share prices plummeted by many percent all over Asia
and this spread to the rest of the world. Since then some stability has been
regained, but forecasts are being revised to a lower level of growth and
prosperity. The current volatility is being blamed on the Ebola crisis, and
also the feeble growth in the Eurozone, see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-29656262.
What is already being called "The Great Recession" following the
crash of 2008, is thought by many to be over. In fact a few days ago the
government proudly announced that unemployment has dropped below 2 million,
see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-29632724
(although no doubt these figures have had a session with the employed
Parliamentary masseur!). We're always hearing the word "recovery" in
the news, but is it correct to use it? Has the economy stalled again and are we
about to descend once more into chaos and deprivation. This happened after the
Great Depression following the stock market crash of 1929. By 1934 there was
hope that we were coming up out of it, but in the late 1930's the economy
dipped again for a couple of years and there was no real rise in the figures
again until after the devastation of World War II. The Great Recession of 2008
onwards has changed the financial landscape of the world in every way. We've
seen unemployed people drafted into slave labour schemes, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/tory-boy-wants-more-slaves.html,
mass mortgage default and homelessness among the American middle classes, youth
unemployment so high that it's become less common than not in some countries
for a young adult to have a job, banking bailouts on a scale beyond the imagination
of anything previous, and currency wars between the superpowers, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/world-bank-whistleblower.html.
It has also been announced that China
is suffering an economic slowdown, just when it was assumed that it was the
only nation on Earth with any real capital, see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-29624852.
So what's going to happen now? Who knows, but one thing is
certain- if we drop down back into the darkness of a slump then once again it
will be the common folk who will have to pay for it. There will be more of
what's been labelled with that wonderful Orwellianism- austerity, more job cuts, more benefits cuts, more pay freezes, more rising food and energy prices, more youth slavery. There will also be a whole new array of bailouts for the
banks. Like the Great Depression, this one could end in global war. The
powers-that-be are desperately assembling any fuel they can to stoke the fire
for world war. In fact the oil prices right now are very low and even the BBC
are openly speculating that this might be an attempt to lever Russia
and Iran , see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-echochambers-29651742.
I have said several times that recessions like these don't just happen by
accident, they are a form of economic terrorism which are introduced to serve a
political agenda. As we've seen, the gold of the world is being redistributed
in suspicious circumstances, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/max-keiser-in-parliament.html.
I think this could lead to a restructuring of the entire world economy. There
could be a currency reset, which I'll be writing more about presently. The
solution to this is not to just sit around and wait for the good times to
return, to trust the chancellor when he says he has things "under
control". Human beings can take control of our own economic activity by
introducing small cooperative businesses and local financial systems, LETS and
community currencies, see links below. Also if you want to keep up with what's
going on in the world of global finance then forget the BBC, watch The Keiser Report instead: http://www.maxkeiser.com/.
