I agree that Alex Jones can be, at times, a little over the top. However, in this situation, I don't think he's very far off the mark. People just
aren't grasping the magnitude of this crisis. The more you investigate it, the scarier it gets. Take for example this from Lyndon LaRouche's
website...
From LaRouchepub.com
We have come into times like those you have never, in your lifetimes, experienced before. As a matter of fact, there's nothing in all modern
European history, globally extended, to compare with what is happening, globally, and in the United States as well, right now. There's been nothing
like the crisis that faces us today, since a comparable crisis in Europe during the medieval period, called the New Dark Ages: We are on the verge of
a complete collapse of the entire planet into a New Dark Age.
I've been following Mr. LaRouches analysis of the onrushing crisis for sometime now and at first, like many people, I was skeptical. However, he's
really hit the nail on the head this time and the events of recent days have certainly vindicated his views. Please visit the link to check out
everything he has to say. He offers a solution as well - a new Bretton-Woods monetary system for the world that even Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi
was recently musing aloud about. He quickly retracted his support for such an idea however, no doubt after being admonished by the financial elite.
There would be no benefit in it for the criminals currently "running" the financial system. Here's a link to the news article, if you want to check
out what he said.
Italian PM
suggests bank holiday and restructuring.
I'm trying to maintain optimism in the face of this monster crisis, but it's hard to hold to out much hope. The politicians are running around
putting out fires in the kitchen while the rest of the house is on fire. The time to deal with this was about 2 years ago if they wanted to save the
current system. At this point, it's like giving CPR to a corpse.
And keep in mind, the REAL weapon of mass destruction hasn't even went off yet. I'm speaking, of course, about the Derivatives market; a market some
are now saying is measured in QUADRILLIONS (that one thousand trillion, for reference) and is heading towards disaster.
Another quote from Lyndon LaRouche's PAC site...
Shut down the derivatives market to save
civilization.
October 10, 2008 (LPAC)--"It is time to break the silence on derivatives," Lyndon LaRouche said yesterday, after observing the carnage in the
financial system and the pathetic response from the so-called regulators. "The true, hyperinflationary factor in the situation is the unregulated,
insanely leveraged derivatives trade. This is what is killing us. This is the great crime of Alan Greenspan." LaRouche described the derivatives
market as a "hyperinflationary bomb, crushing the international financial system," warning that "Until you just shut down the whole derivatives
trade--wipe these gambling obligations off the books of the financial system--you are just kidding yourself." "Unless and until you deal with this
derivatives bubble, which cannot be bailed out, you are just kidding yourself," he continued. "It is time for Hank Paulson to swallow the only real
medicine: bankruptcy reorganization of the entire, dollar-based financial system. And the first step in any such bankruptcy reorganization would be
the cancellation of these quadrillions of dollars in pure gambling obligations. Without such action, this planet is doomed to a horrible dark age,
just like the dark age of the fourteenth century, that followed the collapse of the Lombard banking system."
