I paid attention a couple years ago, when this was just a "nutter conspiracy theory".
I spent some amount of effort becoming debt free, and now own everything I have. I passed this on to friends and family, many who have prepared, a few who still think the government will pull our collective bacon out of the fire.
I keep a stockpile of non perishable food----nothing fancy----a thousand rounds of various ammunition, and a small trailer to take to the hills if and when necessary. I calculate my family could survive 9 to 12 months just on what I have prepared, the rest of our lives on our collective knowledge.
As for those who may ask "what do I do now?", I am very sorry, but in my opinion the only answer that will suffice very shortly is--nothing. You should have been ready long ago.
I don't think the surprise will hold till October. Matter of fact, I have a gut feeling about this weekend 21st to 23rd. May be wrong, but I am ready whenever it occurs.

Can you clarify what this means? It wasn't really mentioned in your links and I can't find anything on Google about settlement payments on August 14th.

Did this end up happening?

It is my OWN personal opinion that perhaps we are pointing in all directions to attempt to find a stable ground to stand on in this point in time. The problem is that this has happened before MANY times as a matter of "FACT".
Now try this on and just THINK it over for a bit okay?

First:
Most of the huge over bought and controlling powerhouses of finance have been around since the late 1700's some even earlier depending on where it is you live.( Here in the USA Goldman Sachs has been around since 1869, JP Morgan since 1799 etc.)
Now how could all of these financial powerhouses still be in existence every time we have a financial catastrophe of this nature? MAYBE just maybe there is a clue in what these guys do to get through these times unscathed and even retain further control.
From what I have been studying for the last decade; has led me to believe that approximately every 50 years +/- these powerhouses consolidate the ENTIRE market place to a more controllable entity. They do this with market crashes, false emergencies in one sector or another and when the general public who knows no better sees it they bail.
Now WHEN the general public bails these powerhouses come in and buy up on the cheap with trillions they have spread out between their many sister companies. They do it this way so that no one is the wiser as to the fact that the powerhouses are the ones who actually own it all in the end.
Do NOT fool yourself these guys have made it and been around for a long time by running this one scheme and they are doing it again.
If you look to the "news" waves you can see that the stories being put out about the financial institutions are the same, word for word in most cases, as the ones they used back in the 1930-50's! It is the same game being played out over and over. It is like the old saying that one can never have enough money once greed sets in. Well that is true in this sense also.

Secondly:
Complete control for these guys is a goal they all have! If and when they have gained control of one sector they move on to the next. The last take over for control was manufacturing. It was done so that the powerhouses could get what they wanted and needed on the cheap PERIOD.
It had nothing to do with a manufactured market collapse it had everything to do with them gaining control over who and what was going to be produced and how much it was going to cost.
The free trade agreement in its original form was a great idea. Unfortunately there is a lot of lobbyist in Washington and well we ended up with the mess we all now suffer with today. If one country can make it for cheaper than the next the first is thrown aside and the other picked up and nurtured till they become the ones in control.
Although the control is a smoke screen as the powerhouses are actually the ones behind it all in the first place and are the ones raking in the money at a much larger scale than the country doing the work now.

Third:
Sitting around and waiting for the October surprise is a waste of time people it started with the first dive to hades on the markets as a whole. The game was put into play then and has been playing out every since that first day.
We are already in the "time of the surprise" all sectors are categorically being consolidated to a much smaller base to make it easier to control who does what and who gets the most money.
Central banks are a joke when it comes to what these guys are capable of! Yeah the banks may move money all over but "who's money" are they moving around? Yours? Mine? OR THEIRS! There in lies the key to this whole mess of a system that we are faced with and confused with at every corner. It isn't our money and never was. We are allowed to use it as they see fit and well when we get to free with it they have to tighten the reins and bring it all back under the umbrella of control.
It is really quite simple if you just take a deep breath and look through what has happened and what has been done. Your big surprise will be a blatant slap in the face! The one that tells you that we never had any freedom when it came to the markets or money of any form. It has always been controlled and always will be. Simply because the only way to control the way things are done is to completely control the supply of money to who they think is fit to have it.
