The Horsemen Of The
Economic Apocalypse
By Doug McIntosh

I find my mind is becoming more elastic these days, as in the silly
putty toy of my youth. So much insanity to write about; so much insanity
unfolding around me. Is the sky black or are the windows painted as Elton
John and Bernie Taupin wrote so many decades ago? Is the world mad or am
I just going crazy? Well, I'm not the guy who turned the 60's television
spy spoof "Get Smart" into reality on a Paris to Miami flight. I'm not
the guy with the exploding shoe, a.k.a., Maxwell Smart and his phone shoe.
Of course, we are assured by the liars in charge that even if the shoe
had exploded the plane wouldn't have been destroyed. Thank God for that
brave stewardess with a good sense of smell for burning matches, but like
I'm supposed to experiment with pendrite versus C-4 explosive at 35,000
feet?
Bushocio tells us the year 2002 will be a year of war. Yes, that is
true ... It may amaze most Americans, although not many, and hopefully
none, of my readers, that the US government can't protect you. Never has
and never will. You are on your own, economically, politically, spiritually
and in terms of life and death. Viewing life this way makes for an entirely
different experience than the one the mass media spews out for the mind
controlled American populace. Modern Americans can be segmented into two
groups: those who trust the system and government, and those who realize
they are on their own. All other distinctions are superficial in my opinion.
The year 2002 will show clearly just how true this system collapse is for
the average American citizen.
The year 2002 will also show the American populace just what real fighting
is like. The politics of the Enron scandal will lead to the kind of political
hand to hand combat never before seen in our country. Vice President Dick
Cheney will be impeached in my opinion. Bushocio will be a crippled and
pathetic President. He will be a President tarred and feathered by
energy corruption. Bushocio, winning by 1500 votes in Florida, cannot endure
a major political scandal like Enron. The Democrats will use the Enron
scandal, the declining economy and the continuing terrorist attacks to
denigrate President Bush and the Republicans. Enron has the capacity to
be another Tea Pot Dome scandal from the 20's. Keep you eye on it and how
it plays out in the Senate and House hearings next year.
Next year will also give us the regional Middle East War the New World
Order wishes. Pakistan and India may not make it till next year. While
the United States was gloating over its "victory" over Mr. Bin Laden, he
was quietly slipping away into another country. I won't mince words, Mr.
Bin Laden is a strategic genius in my opinion. The attack on the Indian
government buildings was a masterstroke that completely outflanks the United
States. Mr. Bin Laden and his terrorists are pros and we are amateurs.
The Russians now control Northern Afghanistan and its oil through their
30,000 strong Northern Alliance. The Northern Alliance is the armed wing
of the Afghan Communist Party. The United States faces decades of peacekeeping
in Afghanistan; also, the prospect of India and Pakistan going to war.
Absolutely brilliant on Mr. Bin Laden's part. Bin Laden has won hands down
...
The amount of noise in the major press about invading Iraq would indicate
that such a move will also happen next year. GOLD-EAGLE.com readers should
understand that Iraq has already said it will defend itself from attack
by taking on Israel. Implied in this threat is biological tipped Scud missiles
descending on Haifa and Tel Aviv. Israel has already said it will respond
to this attack with one of its own. Implied in this attack is the use of
nuclear weapons. I'm just telling you what the reality is right now in
the Mid-East. You can make your own judgments.
After writing about the above subjects, any comments I can make about
the economy seem almost trivial. The above will have economic effects also.
The above subjects will unleash the horsemen, and upon the economy the
horsemen will have the most effect. Assuming we aren't visiting the Mid
East, or victim of a terrorist attack, most of us will suffer only the
economic effects. The horsemen UPI photo used came from Argentina and shows
mounted riot police running away from a rampaging mob of looters. Very
symbolic in my opinion of what will happen in 2002.
So, exactly what does my crystal ball tell me the economy will be like
in 2002? My readers should know by now that I have a deep contempt for
the liars, frauds, amoral opportunists, hacks and flakes that infest the
American media, corporate, Wall Street, education and government elite.
Honorable people are few and far between in leadership positions in the
United States. It's not that the corrupt oligarchy which rules America
doesn't know what is going on. They know quite well; and they use the knowledge
to enrich themselves. There is no better example of this than the Enron
Corporation senior executives. At the same time they were locking their
own employees from selling company stock shares, these senior executives
were looting Enron for $600 million. Now, if you don't think that will
have severe political effects in the next few months leading up to the
November 2002 elections, you are painfully naive. This fact is the foundation
of all my economic views concerning 2002. 2002 will be the year the elite
is hounded by an angry populace newly aware they've been cheated .... Waxman
and Daschle are going to gut the Republicans on this one, trust me.
2002 will also be the year the debt system is stressed as never before.
It's amusing to me to read the major press spin about Argentina's debt
default. First, they call it a suspension and say that the $155 billion
will eventually be paid. O.K., anybody really believe that a single penny
of that money will be repaid to investors? I don't and the market doesn't
either. Is Argentina the final straw that shatters the entire global debt
structure? Or will they patch it together again for a few months? Depends
on who else joins Argentina in falling off the wagon. Turkey is wobbling.
Japan is in recession. The United States is in recession. Europe is in
recession. Spanish banks are heavily exposed to Argentina's billions. JP
Morgan has a 2.6 billion exposure. What do you think will happen to JP
Morgan stock if it has to write off 2.6 billion dollars next quarter? They
simply spin it to give themselves time to unwind the $155 billion and not
stress out the system. Anybody remember that this $155 billion is really
recycled Brady Bonds? Brady bonds were issued in the 1980's to recycle
the 1970's debt default. Understand this, and the whole banking based debt
system reveals itself in all its cunning glory.
Never pay off the debt-merely recycle it into new forms and continue paying the interest.
Remember this one sentence and the global economic system will make
perfect sense!
My key point is 2002 is the year that the great debt rollover scam
fails. The massive debt rock will roll backward and crush the fiat funny
money, credit and debt system that created it. The debt can never be repaid
and trying to will lead to global anarchy. The New World Order will allow
the debt to collapse the system and then offer to save it in bankruptcy.
This is the whole plan in a nutshell in my opinion. What we saw in Argentina:
pension seizures, money restrictions, street riots, governmental chaos
and collapse is going to hit country after country over the next few years.
This new money Argentina is issuing won't be backed by gold like it should
to truly solve the problem. The common people are destroyed and the elite
continue playing their games.
Concerning the United States economy, it's a pretty open and shut case.
The disconnect between the people's perceptions and the actual reality
is scary. The elite liars and frauds continue to shill and deceive the
populace. The deception will work until the moment the terrorist strikes
expose the government and system as incompetent and a farce. Enron has
begun the process of exposing the stock market sham. The United States
is an economic, political and military system in chaos and collapse. It's
so obvious to anyone who really looks at the facts and ignores the mind
controlled official media and mainstream press. After all these years of
lying about the economy, I'm amazed that any reasonable person believes
anything a stock researcher, media reporter or commentator, politician
or talking head says. These people are liars, hacks and frauds and have
always been looking out for themselves.
The Christmas shopping season was a disaster for retailers ... the
events of 9-11-2001 fundamentally changed peoples attitudes towards the
consumer culture and shopping religion of America. The American economy
is dependent upon credit card debt and fiscal sleight of hand for growth.
Mr. Magoo's entire strategy has been to get Americans to loot their home
equity and spend it on conspicuous consumption. That's it; that is the
best our greatest minds can come up with. Tap out your home equity by refinancing
and spend it on a SUV. Patriotism is redefined as going on a shopping spree
at a Wal Mart. None of this walking through the snow barefoot at Trenton,
or holding the line at Bastone stuff. Nope, in the new Bushocio America,
patriotism is simply going into debt and buying useless stuff. Fortunately,
more and more Americans are seeing through the illusions and beginning
to focus on the realities.
The spring 2002 economic recovery is a joke just like the two predicted
in 2001 were. Deflation is here. There has been a permanent change in attitudes.
We are in a long term war with a cunning and ruthless enemy. We now check
shoes for explosives and worry about one or two separate nuclear wars in
the Mid-East.
Individuals must think outside the box as the current cliché, goes.
Think about the survival tips I gave you ... Prepare for the worst in
2002. Buy gold and silver and prepare for an alternative economic system
to the one collapsing around us. Remember the people of Argentina were
reduced to debit cards and $250 a week in cash. If you had gold, you would
simply have gone and sold an ounce or two if you needed money. Understand
the times we live in and prepare. Understand the stock markets will shatter
once they realize there is no recovery or earnings by next spring. What
will happen to retail stocks once the dismal Christmas profits are announced?
Don't be deceived; don't believe the lies that pass for reality in America.
Understand the terrorists are already here. Understand the government can't
protect you. I say again: you are on your own. Believe it. Look to your
defenses: the horsemen are coming. Are you prepared?
