The Imperial Collapse Playbook

No-one, but no-one, can hit it out of the ball-park like Dmitri Orlov! His mega-macro-picture is as incisive as it is compelling, and I'm glad he's here with us, to explain it all;

The Financial Stability Board

Well waddayaknow? The FSB is housed where? Inside the BIS building, in Basel, Switzerland! Not much surprises me these days, in fact my disgust at the whole corrupt system is pretty limitless. Here good ol' Helen Brown explains to James Corbett exactly what the G20 new banking regulations actually mean, including bail-ins, derivatives, bonds and equities:

The Brand of Red

I am very, very suspicious of the sudden fame of Russell Brand:

Light at the End of the Tunnel

Another wonderful essay from one of my two favourite essayists (the other being Dmitri Orlov). He says there is light at the end of the tunnel, but it involves personal responsibility and a change in assumptions - something I don't think many people have even begun to think about:

I suppose I should give up all this and just get on with my life! Trouble is, when you're interested in International Relations and the environment, you get a bit caught up in it all.

Collapse Hasn't Gone Away

As you'll hear from this interview with one of my favourite bloggers, most people are still in denial about how bad the situation really is - in the US but also in Western Europe. He gives good, sound advice on how to cope, with a good psychological approach being fundamental:

Globalisation Writ Large

The majority of people I listen to and correspond with still talk in terms of Nation States and their Leaders. Quite a while ago I realised that the latter were only puppets of a much larger plan, of organising an International Class (the Owners) who will make all of the global decisions for us, via their International Bodies.

Here James Corbett lays it all out very clearly, citing bodies and agreements and quotes that already exist, so this is not conspiracy theory - rather it is conspiracy fact:

Dodds-Frank Provisions Repealed

...leaving the US bank depositors, in their brand new rôle as 'unsecured creditors' on the hook for the big banks derivatives losses:

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-12-13/democrats-who-voted-cromnibus-received-double-money-wall-street-no-voters

All part of the controlled implosion of course, which will leave, as Ellen Brown says, only the big five banks standing, and everyone else bankrupt.

BRICS All Part of the Theatre

Would that it weren't so, but when you see this age-old game for what it is (the complete consolidation of  power) the signs are very easy to spot. It can be boiled down to the Hegelian dialectic, or 'problem; reaction; solution', if you prefer. Either way, we're on the hook, with very little chance of struggling free, principally because.....we don't even realise we're on the hook:

BIS Takes Over

Order out of chaos.

'And if countries get in serious trouble, think of the Russians at the moment, there is nobody at the center of the system who has the responsibility of providing liquidity to people who desperately need it. If we have a number of small countries or one big country which run into trouble, the resources of the International Monetary Fund to deal with this are very limited. The idea that all countries act in their own individual interest, that you just let the exchange rate float and the whole system will be fine: This all is a dangerous illusion.'

Centralisation disguised as Decentralisation

'Only those educated in the underpinnings of shadow banking will understand the whole thing is a charade designed to hide the complete centralization of sovereign economic governance into the hands of the globalists, using the IMF and BIS as “fiscal heroes,” saving the world from a state of economic destruction the elites themselves secretly created.'

Don't take my word for it - Ellen Brown lays it all out here:

Margin Requirements

It's great to have someone like ol' JSnip4, a regular Joe, explaining in plain English how the banksters flush out the small investors - here he explains margin requirements:

The Bail-Ins Still Cometh

The people I've tried to tell don't believe me, so I just keep posting article after article about the coming wealth transfer, when the banks implode and take your savings with them, as 'unsecured deposits':

Here is an interview with Attourney Ellen Brown, who is equally suspicious about why the G20 came up with these new (completely undemocratic) rules for the Banking system. As she says, they know something is coming:

When a wonderful wordsmith like Dmitri Orlov puts pen to paper, some of us stop everything and read:

The Coming Wealth Transfer

More and more analysts are pointing this out, but only a few people are listening:

Digital Witch-hunting

This too, will be too 'out there' for some who prefer the cosy reality that the British press describes, but as that cracks, and it will, this darker, deeper reality will start to be visible and then will become obvious - but will it be too late to fight back?
