POWERFUL BULLMARKET IN US STOCKS LOOMS as the US prepares for GLOBAL HEGEMONY

They want people to panic right now. Don't play into their hands.

This may get a little technical, and if it does, I apologize in advance. The question of if peak oil, dwindling resources, etc. are real or not, are, in reality, irrelevant. What is relevant are the perceptions that those in charge want the people to believe.

In a free market, declining resources are usually made up for by better technologies doing things more efficiently, or a switch to substitutes. In other words, in a free market, if peak oil was real, then it would be dealt with by better design and creation of more efficient engines, or at least substitute forms of travel (think trains) that are less dependent on oil. Of course, this does not happen because the plutocracy would lose a form of control; so, instead, they keep the people dependent on levels of technology that are over a hundred years old.

By not allowing the free market to come up with alternatives that would mitigate the effects of peak oil, our rulers are putting this nation, and indeed the rest of the world, in a situation where resource wars are not only probable, they are also desired by those in charge. For these people, wars create riches, a method of population control, further control over the populations that survive, and resources under their heel. Control over the chain of distribution of natural resources is key to this. Control oil, you control movement, control food, you can quell dissent through starvation. Control what is considered money, and you control what happens in the entire economy. Control the media, and you can control what and even how, people think.

So, they want people to think there are shortages out there. Why? Why would the plutocracy want people to stock up on food by announcing there are shortages? We know that the food shortages in foreign countries are because of monetary inflation in the world's reserve currency, coupled with the effects of an insane ethanol policy. My guess is that they want to sell as much as they can at higher prices through panic buying before they short sell the grain markets for windfall profits. This would further destroy whatever small farmers we have left, allowing ADM to pick up the pieces, establishing more control over the food supply through corporate take over. I use the grain markets as an example, we can witness the manipulation across the board in many of the commodity markets. The thing that is causing me concern is this so-called water shortage. It's not that there is a water shortage, it's just that people live in cities that are artificial constructs that are far away from fresh water. It seems to me that we are witnessing the early move of the plutocracy into socializing, or more realistically, incorporating, the water supply for their own profit, and possibly setting up a distribution grid similar to our power grid.

Create an artificial problem, cause the people to demand that something be done about it, and come up with a solution to the problem that never existed in the first place, thereby adding to the plutocracy's power. It has happened over and over again, and can be witnessed throughout history.

Now, let us ask, what are the black swans, the unforeseeable problems in the scenario that can throw a wrench in the plutocracy's plan for further Anglo-Saxon hegemony? The most immediate threat isn't the Chinese dumping dollars or treasuries, nor is it Russia accumulating resources in the attempt to create a new reserve currency. In my opinion, the biggest threat to their control is us, we, the people. For the first time in human history, those who have been able to figure out what is going on are able to communicate with each other through the internet. This allows us to hone our message so that we can bring in more people to our side. If we are successful in taking over the Republican party, they have then lost their bastion of blatant corporate fascism. They will loose a tool, and will have only the Democratic party and their socialist platforms to fall back on, but, I digress.

The author of the article makes the assumption that after the United States has secured the oil reserves of Iraq and possibly Iran that our stock market will recover, and the hegemony will be established for the long term. He doesn't take into account the fact that people are tired of the systems of control and are starting to do something about it. Although I believe that the author is correct in thinking that this may be the long-term plan for the plutocracy; I do not think he pays enough attention to the scenarios that can and are already beginning to upset their plans.

For what it's worth, thats my 2 cents.

Although e-goldstien is a great one as well.

Well, sure anything is possible. We are extremely strong force wise. But if that's the course we forcefully continue instead of allowing our own well-deserved economic collapse, I think your 401k will be the last thing on your mind for a good long time - especially if you live near a major U.S. city or base.

for the near term historically speaking - the next 20 - 30 years - it is very possible that military action could improve the U.S. economy, Despite what people say about new technology, Oil will still be the main source of energy, as well as an important starting material for many pharmaceuticals, and plastics. There are really no substitutes on the horizon that will provide the amount of energy or material needed to replace oil. Continued domination of this region by the west will insure an artificially low price for oil - since we can basically steal it from the people in those countries - keeping the vast majority of their people in poverty. Also, domination in this region means an end to the uncertainty in the supply that keeps oil prices high from commodity speculation. If Iran is truly next, and we will easily defeat Iran, our power and influence will be hard to compete with. Note that the middle east is fairly sparse in population until you get to Pakistan. The huge world population is in Pakistan, Indonesia, Indian and China. These countries want access to Oil to improve their standard of living. Whatever organizations control the middleastern oil, to sell to these groups, will get a huge benefit. What we will see is an increase in value of the U.S. dollar relative to these asian currencies.

The real questions for the U.S. hegemonists, is can we sustain our domination of the middle east long enough to stablize oil prices, and get the dollar back on its feet ? I don't think the Europeans will let the dollar crash, if they can help it. But you never know. And what will china do ?

The small number of losses from occupation in iran and Iraq is hardly enough to stop us, and will serve to keep the public inflamed for the job.

Note that Azerbajan has intercepted a shipment of Nuclear Material from Russia, headed for Iran, and U.S. leased ships have fired at Iranian boats. I would not be suprised to see signidficant conflict with Iran in August or September. This will provide an increase in public support for the war in the middle east.

Nicely said.
