Yes… it is eerie, Arraya. Although the cascading crash is much more dramatic than even I expected. Everyone is asking, “When will the bottom come?” The same sources that told me the first week of October would be a watershed have also told me that the Dow will hit 3,500 and martial law, in some form, will occur by January 2009, with food and gas shortages to occur around the same time, if not before.

It’s interesting your timeframe is very much similar to some of my sources and personal analysis. Honestly, part of it is just felt right. I was expecting the crash to come about now for like 6 months.

I can’t see martial law passing. Not enough troops and the police are pissed about losing half there pensions. I definitely see civil unrest and angry mobs in the street.

-So far food shortages have sprouted up worldwide
-Gas shortages in the SE are worsening(no response from the USG and oil companies said “It is just not profitable to break supply chains”
-Short term credit lines drying up that companies depend on to keep supply chains running in food and fuel alike

The world has two choices at this point. 1) to go down in flames with the US 2) To break the dollar peg and instantly make the US third world

If TPTB want to keep the dollar peg in place they are going to take out Iran. I personally think they have abandoned that idea. At least I hope.

The endgame is close. We are definitely not in Kansas anymore.
