I note another source I follow here @marketreport points out that the fragility of the economy has created an essentially existential situation for the central banking system, the USG, EU, and corporations large and small interwoven into it. Had the fake news not been issued, or had it failed, a potential cascading crash of equities could have swifly ensued, triggering '08x10. Given global riots already, as well as various other seething wounds politically, rather than a fine trading day for the usual suspects, we could have been looking at Mad Max scenarios in weeks.

This is the state of the markets today.

Someone else I followed here, but who doesn't post anymore is @gunsgoatsandgold, or something to that effect, and that nick makes sense to me. When we are looking at such massive inflation of commodities like real estate, gold, and etc. we should expect that artificial wealth gap to be used to implement a two tiered society of equity holders and useless eaters.

When I think of such social manipulation, events like the Holodomor and The Great Leap Forward come to mind, rather than the Great Depression.

Hope I'm wrong.

Thanks!
