OT: Countdown: Three Weeks to Chaos

[TheBreeze]

[quote=partypup]It is only a year later that we finally discover – from Geithner and Bernanke, themselves – that the global financial system was only hours away from collapse.

Yes, and now they are saying that green shoots are sprouting everywhere. These two clowns are unreliable idiots and will say anything to make TARP seem like it was justified.

Name that movie:

I know we’ve only known each other four weeks and three days, but to me it seems like nine weeks and five days. The first day seemed like a week and the second day seemed like five days. And the third day seemed like a week again and the fourth day seemed like eight days. And the fifth day you went to see your mother and that seemed just like a day, and then you came back and later on the sixth day, in the evening, when we saw each other, that started seeming like two days, so in the evening it seemed like two days spilling over into the next day and that started seeming like four days, so at the end of the sixth day on into the seventh day, it seemed like a total of five days. And the sixth day seemed like a week and a half. I have it written down, but I can show it to you tomorrow if you want to see it.

[quote=Arraya][quote=Russell]Not going conservative Arraya, just looking at how risk impacts the average Joe(me),regardless of how some of those risks get embedded into our society by those stinking conservatives and liberals. Realizing risk is a fact of life, what really matters is; do I see it clearly and what can and can’t I do about it relative to immediate importance to me …or, in the case of “Three Weeks to Chaos” type false alarms, lack of.

Events like you mentioned don’t surprise me, however otherwise disturbing they are. They don’t qualify as a desperate spiral to doom regardless if they are the result of eons of unjust schemes, from conservatives.They always happen in different flavors.They could, of course, spiral, but I don’t see revolution on a grand scale coming. I think (more)international warfare will come before that. If it doesn’t this is just another hiccup.[/quote]

Fair enough.

However, I’ll keep in simple. The coming collapse and associated societal dislocation is unstoppable. The inertia is too great. When looked at in such a light, it becomes foolish to think of it as “negative”. Though, undoubtedly, will be the reaction of the majority.

In the mean time, get use to market dislocations and scenes like the one above because we are a long long way from bottom and any type of “recovery” will not look like what anyone expects.

On that note. I think this kid has a good take on it and something you may relate to. Cheers.

[quote=TheBreeze]Gold is up $2 to 1050.60 overnight. This could be the big one.

You guys know that it doesn’t have to be the end of the world right? Things can just get gradually worse. Jimmy Rogers likes to talk about when the British pound collapsed but it didn’t lead to the end of British society.

The dollar has already gone[/quote]

Breezy, I would like anyone to correct me if I’m wrong on this, but I really believe that this is the first time that a reserve currency has collapsed. So we’re in uncharted territory here. Comparisons to the Pound, Weimar mark, the Argentine peso or the Zimbabwe dollar are really not appropriate.

My growing concern now is that this collapse could happen with lightning speed (in a matter of months or even weeks), and I say that because in all my years observing gold action I have NEVER seen movements like this.

I think we may have seen the end of “gradual” unwinding in this crisis. You need to brace yourself for impact. Keep watching gold – every day – every hour, even. Gold will tell you everything, even if you don’t have all the facts or know all the details. And right now gold is screaming,”Red alert”.
