Let me start with the conclusion in order to get straight to the point: Modern stock market crashes can be looked at as periods of "harvesting" by the plutocratic ruling class. In the aftermath of each market crash (or "bust" business cycle), the net result is the accumulation of more wealth and power by the ruling class, at the expense of everybody else (or the lower 90% of income earners).
In order to put this into perspective, consider the following case study: The financial criminal organization by the name of Goldman Sachs was instrumental in designing a gigantic fraudulent scheme under the leadership of Henry Merritt "Hank" Paulson, Jr., and with the backing of people like Ayan Rand cult disciple Alan "Maestro" Greenspan.
In a nutshell, they created investment instruments backed by worthless mortgage securities. At the front end of the scam, the money-making scheme consisted in the generation of a very high volume of transactions so these financial gangsters could make hundreds of billion of dollars from fees associated to the sales of those securities.
At the same time, knowing that these financial instruments were worthless, they bet against them through credit default swaps--which is basically insurance against the possibility of the value of investment assets going down.
When (as expected) the house of cards (ponzi scheme created by Goldman Sachs, Hank Paulson, and other financial industry players) collapsed, they made more money on the back end of the fraudulent scheme by collecting on their credit default swaps (from AIG, for example).
And to make it all work as planned, it just so happened that when it came time to pay up, Hank Paulson, as Secretary of the Treasury, was in a position to make sure the taxpayers pick up the tab to cover any loses by AIG (one of the top insurers in the credit default swap market) and allow Goldman Sachs to collect--get ready for this--100 cents on the dollar, for their credit default swap insurance.
Follow the money... The end result was a huge transfer of wealth from the working people of the country to the parasitic top one percent of income "takers."
The dire economic straits now affecting the entire country is a direct result of this thievery.
Now getting back to the upcoming worldwide investment market crashes around the world (starting in the U.S. and Europe).
What's about to happen will follow a similar pattern. The entire worldwide financial market has been infected with a virus-like pathogen designed to transfer huge amounts of wealth and power to what is becoming an international (nation-less) ruling elite. The computer algorithms running the financial market servers that transfer trillions of dollars in funds around the world at lighting speed are all ready...
As the markets start crashing (in the U.S. and Europe), all the major media outlets, which are basically propaganda and misinformation entities that serve this international criminal cartel, will be bombarding the airways with all kinds of bullshit analysis, speculation, etc. People will be glued to the TVs listening to their garbage (or reading misleading information on the Wall Street Journal), while behind the scene the computer algorithms will be transferring huge amounts of money from pension funds, retirement accounts, 401Ks, and a myriad of other sources, to the accounts of this international ruling class.
When the dust is settled, the middle class would have taken another major blow. More people would have fallen behind in paying their bills. And their credits get ruined, and this then is punished by the system, which results in condemning a larger and larger portion of the population to hardship and poverty. The others, in fear will do everything they can to avoid that outcome. As they see an increasing number of middle-class looking people begging on street corners, or hear about co-workers or family members falling into misfortune, they will be willing to work for less, give up rights, conform to the wishes of their masters, and do everything possible to keep up.
That kind of psychological conditioning could be compared to the power of a whip against the skin of a slave.
I'm aware that exact predictions about things like this can be very dicey, but from everything I'm seeing, I believe that within a very short time we are going to experience a huge worldwide market crash. I believe this will start to unfold this coming week, although my timing my be off by up to a month.
But the thing to remember in order to make more sense of my theory, is that a market crash means the rapid transfer of wealth and power from society to the parasitic worldwide ruling class.
