In summary: 1]given the nature of markets and human knowledge, it is impossible to reliably, and to consistently predict or forecast [to use your favorite term] future economic events.

2] It is not necessary to know future events. A neutrally balanced long term savings portfolio -one which does not favor any one economic scenario [ie inflation, deflation, recession, general prosperity]over any other, will enable its owner to relax and forget predicting future events.

Regarding your claim of a difference between what you see as “predicting”, and “forecasting, you are deluding yourself, as far as I can see.

By your own definition “forecast[ing]” is still a prediction- you are saying , by your own admission, “IF this continues, this WILL happen”.

A more humble approach would be “IF this continues, this MIGHT [or "most likely"] will happen”. You need to learn to leave “the door” slightly ajar to allow for possibilities that you are not considering right now, because, well, just because![ and it often will save you from looking like an egotistical fool 5 years from now!]

As it stands you are still claiming absolute knowledge of future events, even though your knowledge of current events is by necessity [ie reality] limited. Truth is, we can never know all of the facts about current events [knowledge is always limited].

People who claim absolute knowledge of the economic future are either ignorant of fundamental economic principles, egotists, or frauds and charlatans, or a combination of all three.

For the last 30+ years, one man and his associates have warned about this broken system and the fact that it was doomed to collapse at some future point.

Everybody else is late to the party in comparison.

And as far as what you can DO, you have several choices. You can:
1) Pretend nothing is happening and someone else fixes it.
2) Take you money out of the bank.
3) Short sell, buy “put” options, buy food stocks/futures, buy energy stocks/futures.
4) Sit back and “brace” for Armageddon or the end of the world and tell everyone “I told you so!”
5) Try and save humanity in whatever way you think you can.

It really comes down to WHAT you think you are. Are you an animal trying to fight other animals to “survive”. Or are you part of humanity that believes people are not animals, and instead separate themselves from animals buy their ability to understand truth (yes, real truth) about the universe and in this discovery realize that humanity works at its best when everyone works for the benefit of the other.
A single slave driver has a lower quality of existence (purely economically speaking) than if he freed his slaves and encouraged them to learn and discover technology and truth about the universe.
In other words, 5 people working for each others benefit will ALWAYS be superior in any circumstance compared with 1 person with 4 servants.
Please don’t be fooled by the freedom vs communism nonsense. That is not what I am talking about. I am talking about a society (what America was founded upon) whose goal is to DEVELOP each and every individual to the highest level possible. Yes of course, the jobs are different, but the goals are to have as much technological growth as possible, with more and more people moving into fields of science and cultural development (ironic tragedy, music) to raise the quality of thinking and hence the quality of life for EVERYONE by some degree.

What the NWO wants is free trade. FREE TRADE. That is what this is all about. Free trade is a misnomer. It is a policy AGAINST the Jeffersonian principles of what the America was founded upon. It is an IMPERIAL policy, supported by the oligarchs for THOUSANDS of years, in which you subjugate populations to produce raw materials for your empire, without the slightest thought of economic development for these people. This is a naturally ENTROPIC system that cannot sustain itself indefinitely. This is because if a nation state does not build INFRASTRUCTURE (damns, bridges, power, rail) then the growing population will not be able to support itself and it WILL cause an economic collapse.

The Bardi banking collapse of the the 1300’s preceded the “plague” by almost a decade. There was a LOT more reason for the tremendous drop in population than simply, “everybody was ill” explanation.
This era was referred to as the “Dark Age”, this was an era when people were subjugated with complete control in the hands of the oligarchs. It took the evils of the “inquisition” to make humanity put a stop to it with the Treaty of Westphalia in Germany (Holy Roman Empire).

The point is, this HAS happened before in history. The banks have collapsed and the population was “culled”.

America has a chance to stop it, because we are STILL (yes, still) a free people compared to Europe. The Maastricht treaty has made the nation states of Europe impotent in their ability to create reforms for their country in the most desperate of times (now). However, WE still can.

Europe is hopeless, but the USA, Russia, China, India and Brazil and others STILL have a good control of their country. These countries can band together to create a new Bretton Woods trade agreement (money backed by Gold, protect jobs) and in the new version, we can promote the development of the third world, instead of subjugated them to slavery.

The ONLY hope the Oligarchs have, is to create WWIV. Who do you think is blowing up India right now? “Terrorists?” Who do you think is instigating conflict in China? (Look China is FAR from perfect, but going to war with them will lead to a Fascist HELL in the near future, we MUST negotiate with them). The British free trade system is losing its grip on the world again, so again, they are trying to blow up the world and pick up the pieces, just as they always have.

Like I said, most of Europe is lead by weaklings, they are retarded and clueless. However, Russia, China, India and others have an idea of what is going on, but the USA MUST join together with them.

Since the USA fought the British free-trade system for independence, the game has been about GEOPOLITICS. If your not thinking in geopolitical terms, your not realizing that this is a fight that is happening right now, is not new, and can be WON.

Self preservation is for animals. Please join humanity and fight to save it. http://www.larouchepac.com/

Beware of any and all “experts” who can tell you what to do with your money based on their infallible predictions about what “must” happen, tomorrow, next week, next month or next year, to the economy.

A long time ago…I learned a maxim that still works..and is amazingly ignored by most Journalists and writers..

“write to an ignorant peer”

It means simply..”Do not assume I know the whole story.”

So..thusly..i would REALLY appreciate the..”MEANING” of these stories..as they pertain to..WE the WORRIED READERS…you dig?

What does this story..aside from…TROUBLE…mean to me ..SPECIFICALLY? Should I take my savings out NOW? Should i ask a list (and what is that list?) of questions to my bank? Should I look for a SPECIFIC “type” of bank to be “safer” than others…or more specifically those mentioned in these articles?

WHAT THE HELL DO I DO..WITH THIS INFORMATION..OTHER THAN TAKE…ALOT OF VALIUM?

So…Writers..PLEASE..”Wrap It Up”..with some kind of..’What this means to YOU! The person with money IN A BANK!’

Thanks..good work..
