29 Answers to Questions and Statements made by Readers

1.) WHAT IS ONE SIGN THAT REVEALS A STOCK MARKET CRASH IS ABOUT TO OCCUR?
- Government bonds usually crash before stocks do and it usually occurs when people have no more faith in the national government being able to pay off their national debt and so they stop buying government bonds.  When people stop buying government bonds they reduce the amount of money circulating in that national economy which governments needs to create a particular atmosphere of confidence for investors and citizens. 

2.) WHY WOULD THE MASSES LOSE THEIR PENSIONS?
- 50% of all US pension fund assets are presently invested in the stock markets & only 20% in Treasuries. Money invested from pensions that go into stocks are initiated because national governments in the past were diverting funds away from the government pensions and were under funding it in the past.

3.) WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT STEPS IN TO SAVE  PENSIONS?
- Losing government pensions will cause riots all throughout America (and the Western world).  If the government decides to step in and save pensions however, its interference will cause hyperinflation. The USD (and Euro) would be worthless as currencies. This would leave us recreating the Weimer Republic of Germany in the 1920's.

4.) HOW DOES A GOVERNMENT REDUCE ITS DEBT?
- A budget deficit arises when the government has more annual debt (from over borrowing from banks, mismanaging the money, or from corruption) than the taxes collected to eliminate that debt. In order to eliminate debt -governments must either sell government bonds to make money, eliminate their public service workforce and privatize their economy, or raise taxes on its citizens.
5.) WHAT ARE THE CHOICES FACING INDEBTED GOVERNMENTS?
- Indebted national governments can either: (a) take a World Bank/European Central Bank/International Monetary Fund bailout (which will result in forced austerity measures on its citizens) OR (b) burn the bondholders & walk away (leaving the national government with no credibility from investors and businesses.  Therefore, reducing the amount of money needed to sustain the government and allowing taxes to be enforced on its citizens in order to sustain the government in place and run the government).

6.) HISTORICALLY, WHAT ERA WOULD YOU SAY WE ARE LIVING IN PRESENTLY?
- Presently, we are at the point of
the end of “No-Alternative-To-Dollar Era”.

7.) WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO TRADE ROUTES IF WAR BROKE OUT?
- If a major war were to break out, stock markets around the world would crash.  This occurs because many fragile economies depend on trade and tourism to make any profit.  If trade routes are disrupted (due to war) and travel banned (due to safety fears because of war), economies would not be able to make profit.  No economy can make profit when their trade routes are disrupted.  Alliances between countries fighting the same enemy would be reinforced in order to allow trade to continue between themselves.  This would allow trade amongst trading blocs.  However, the disruptions would forever eliminate many already weak companies and eliminate many jobs.

8.) HOW DO GOVERNMENTS MONITOR ACTIVITY ON THE INTERNET?
- Due to living in the “information age”, all national governments hire internet trolls to go on Facebook, YouTube, Commentary sections of national newspapers, etc. in order to push out propaganda for the government’s benefit (as well as the benefit of their allies). Trolls also monitor counter arguments created and written against their propaganda.  Many government trolls have different aliases which they switch back and forth from in order to avoid detection by the public.  National governments are also known to hire hackers for their own purposes and objectives.  In the near future, the “information age” will become a thing of the past when censorship comes into play with the ending of Net Neutrality and the “Internet Kill Switch” is activated.

9.) WHY DO GOVERNMENTS NOT DIAGNOSE DISEASE OUT BREAKS FASTER?
- Usually when a disease breaks out suddenly it goes from "Patient Zero" to Pandemic.  Sadly, you will never be able to determine for sure who “patient zero” was (which is problematic to understanding what caused the pandemic in the first place).  This problem only fuels speculation and conspiracy theories and the inability to find the right diagnosis to eradicate the pandemic in the early stages of contagion.  This is why Ebola, H1N1, and SARS can spread so fast through populations.  People have to find how a disease spreads, where it originated from, who “patient zero” was and how it started.  Easier said than done.

10.)  IF WE TAKE WAR THERE, WE CAN AVOID IT HERE!
- No matter what, "war always comes home": (a) In the form of taxes needed for wars/occupations abroad, (b) money needed to be printed and borrowed in order to avoid raising taxes on citizens, (c) soldiers returning home with mental and physical injuries.  Moreover, whole regions, in many countries across the world, are employed by the “War Machine” (in one facet or another) therefore the, “Overnight peace” slogan that idealists and liberals envision cannot come to fruition.  “Overnight peace” would cause overnight layoffs, massive unemployment issues, and massive amount of stock falling -therefore liquidating huge amounts of money from companies, families, and individuals.  Whole communities and households would become disrupted if “overnight peace” were possible and that is why it is not only impossible, it is unrealistic.  Secondly, removing a military power out of a region (even a drug lord in any location) would not stop the war overnight and create peace but would instead create a power vacuum which causes “turf wars” and “power struggles” to beginThis leads to massive upheavals, disruption to life, and leads to massive death tolls -as was the case when Russia left Afghanistan in 1991, after Pablo Escobar was killed in Columbia in 1993, and when the leadership of the Gangster Disciples in Chicago were imprisoned by the police in 1997.  “Overnight peace” is more of a leftist Utopian vision and not based on any resemblance to everyday reality.

11.) WHY ARE COMPANIES MAKING SO MUCH PROFIT PRESENTLY IF THE STOCK MARKET IS IN TROUBLE?
- Presently, many major Corporations are firing people and then using that additional money to “Buy Back” their own company's stocks so that the scarcity that remains on the markets looks profitable and attractive to investors.  If investors do not invest in a company’s stocks then a company contracts in size and has to fire more employees.  Firing more employees though is not a problem to most companies as long as they do not lose profit.  Profit is the bottom line and as long as the company is productive with a shorter labor force, then the company is still successful.  That is why companies are making so much profit presently in the stock market. 

12.) CAN THE GOVERNMENT DO ANYTHING TO PREVENT A “BANK RUN”?
- Creating a "Bank Holiday" prevents a “Bank Run” and buys a national government time to find a buyer in order to stimulate the bank.  Depending on the size of the bank, usually a central bank will print money allowing for a national bank to stay afloat.  If a buyer is not found, the bank will face liquidation because a “bank holiday” cannot last more than 5 days.  Therefore, the bank must find a buyer immediately before the holiday ends and a “bank run” occurs.  “Savers” will find out that banks do not have all their money and therefore when a “bank run” occurs the bank will become dissolved overnight.

13.) WHEN DOES A “SELL OFF” IN A STOCK MARKET OCCUR? MOREOVER, WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT?
- A “sell off” in the stock markets occurs in an instant.  Once it starts, no one can predict with accuracy where it will stop and what the impact of the “sell off” will be on national stock markets, companies, a national economy, or the citizens of any country.

14.) IS THERE ANY GOOD DEBT?
- There is good debt if you can invest in something that will bring you money.  There is bad debt that will make you lose money.  Knowing which debt, you have and adjusting accordingly to it allows you to succeed and to make profit.  By reducing bad debt, you avoid paying interest.  Good debt enables you to make profits (ex: owning a house and renting the top floor and bottom floor and using that profit to make off the mortgage of that house while using your own salary and that of your family to either pay off the mortgage of that house or buy another house and do the same thing).  In other words, good debt pays itself off and allows you, over time, to make profit; Bad debt just builds interest and eventually can overwhelm you.

15.) WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF SCOTLAND BECOMES INDEPENDENT FROM THE U.K.?
- The uncertainty over a separate Scotland currency could cause financial instability all over the EU in September 2014. What currency would Scotland use? And how would it affect the Euro, USD, and the Pound that it would trade against presently?  The E.U. is an already fragile economy and if Scotland leaves, it will be weakened even further.  Scotland’s independence vote on September will have major implications on the EU possibly causing the E.U. currency to crash (worst case scenario).

16.)  DOES HISTORY ALWAYS REPEAT ITSELF?
- The "Skyscraper Curse" is also an allegory represented perfectly in the myth of the Biblical story of the Tower of Babble.  The Tower of Babel was built expediently and it was filled with languages from different cultures.  However, the Tower of Babel popped out of thin air, overnight, and before long, people realized that it was built too big and too large and stood out like an eyesore that could be seen from everywhere.  The Tower of Babel reached to the sky and could be seen from everywhere and yet it was built like a “stack of cards” without having solid foundation underneath it.  Its height challenged God almighty in the sky and because of this it came crashing down.  This is similar to major cities in America in 1929 in places like Chicago and New York when the “Great Depression” hit.  Major cities popped out of nowhere because money was flying all around and people were investing in anything in order to make a profit.  However, all that “easy money” being borrowed was building things that it could not afford, and once the music stopped, all the players tried to pull out their money quickly and when they did
- the crash occurred.  When you build too quick and too fast, everything comes crumbling down overnight.  Many national economies presently have been built up with “Easy money” since the end of World War 2 causing bubbles in place that have been ready to pop since 2008.

17.) HOW POWERFUL ARE CARTELS AND WHERE CAN CARTELS BE FOUND?
- Cartels exist everywhere whether it is silver cartels, drugs cartels, weapons cartels, etc.  Nothing in the world exists without a monopoly or cartel running its affairs and influencing the business of the day.  The everyday individual has no affect on Monopolies or Cartels. Governments, possibly, can have an effect on Monopolies and Cartels through transparency laws however because many governments have shares in monopoly companies and cartels they choose not to go after monopolies and cartels aggressively.  Individuals who are outside monopolies and cartels and who play on the stock markets and borrow from banks are called “dumb money” because they are never in control of the game though they believe they are.  Cartels and Monopolies are found everywhere around the world and everywhere through stock markets.

18.) ONLY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD BELIEVE IN STOCK MARKET CRASHES AND ECONOMIC DEPRESSIONS.  GOD WOULD NEVER ALLOW THAT!
- Ironically, many individuals give their lives whole-heartedly to God and say, “it is God controlling my life and the direction I head towards.  I serve his purpose and no one else’s”.  Many of these same people argue that, “God works in mysterious ways” and “we can never know God’s true intentions”.  These same individuals believe in “predestination” and “fatalism”.  When you believe you can avoid any catastrophe as if it is not meant for you because of your belief in God then you have counter argued your own argument and belief in God.  If you truly did have faith in God then you will not worry what the outcome is, you will be at peace with it because it is not you who controlled the events but God and therefore there is no problem with reality.  You are where you are supposed to be and reality is the way it should be.  What happened now and where you are now is what is supposed to have happened.  So if you want to strengthen your argument or belief in God, you can never be distressed over the situation that occurs.  However, many people have very little faith in God because they do not trust the direction that he is taking you and that you are on.  Secondly, if “God works in mysterious ways” and “you can never know God’s will” then why could God not work with the Elite in order to bring about the world that he wants?  I mean you are either arguing you know God’s will and the Elite are not part of it OR you have to agree that there is a chance and a possibility he is using the Elites to create the reality he wants.  God uses his best tools and best instruments and since the masses do not have the finances, influences, or political power to shape the world a certain way, that would mean God would be using the Elite as tools to bring about the reality he envisions.  So again, why would a true believer in God have a problem with the direction the world is headed in?  Reality just “IS” regardless of our feelings about it.  Lastly, in almost all “Holy Books” there are people who warn you of what is coming ahead and to prepare for it, so if God sent them to warn others, why would their lack of faith in God or their understanding in God, diminish God’s existence?  Their understanding is preventing further catastrophes not maximizing catastrophes.   However, moving forwards, one must understand that people as individuals are not morally good or immoral by nature or by conditioning.  In fact, majority of people are opportunistic and believe in self-preservation.  When you understand this, on an individual level and on a collective level, you will realize that the whole world and the events that have shaped the world center on opportunism and self-preservation.  Nothing more, nothing less!  Opportunism and self-preservation is what has enabled the world to be where it is today.  When you stop battling yourself and stop being defensive about the reality you have created inside of your own head based on the ideology you believe in, you will see the world (historically, politically, ideologically, spiritually, and sociologically) the way it needs to be in order to find peace within yourself and the events that are about to occur.

19.) MEDIA REPORTS OFTEN STATE THAT THE NATIONAL ECONOMY IS DOING GOOD AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE JUST WAR MONGERING AND FEAR MONGERING!!
- Just because the media is not reporting it regularly, it does not mean it is not occurring regularly in the Western world and in the Developed World.  Presently, (a) Massive repossessions of cars and property are occurring to individuals all over the Western World.  (b) Massive store closures and store relocations are happening at an alarming pace all over the Western World.  (c) Massive amounts of property are being foreclosed upon in the Western world.  All three events occurring, not to mention many bankruptcies in the Western world are all occurring simultaneously.  Massive job losses are occurring in regional and national economies however they are also being hidden by fake job numbers from government agencies who are compiling, producing, and releasing these numbers to the media in order to create consumer and investor confidence.  Many national governments are just hoping to find ways to attract investors and keep the music going so people keep playing the game.  Hope of profits enables the music to continue.

20.) WHAT IS GOING ON CURRENTLY IN THE MIDDLE EAST?
- The creation of Kurdistan in the Middle East through the conflict with ISIS will destabilize Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Turkey simultaneously.  It is not all about oil, as many people would like you to believe.  Oil is only a small part of the great geopolitical issues.  Destabilizing Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Turkey allows Islam to be destabilized as well.  This is very advantageous for the greater world population because it allows the Middle East to be re-created the way the world needs it in order for the Middle East to progress forwards.  The Middle East can no longer offer anything useful to the world the way it has historically developed and the way it has been influence by Islam’s ideology.   Therefore, the Middle East has not given many items useful to the world (other than the West’s discovery of oil and the West’s investment of that oil once it had been discovered in order for profit to be made).  This present destabilization efforts throughout the Middle East presently, will forever alter the Middle East changing its identity for generations to come.  The Middle East has only contributed three things since the end of World War 1 (a location for money to be circulated through arms, a location for money to be circulated through oil, and a location for money to be circulated through tourism).

21.) IN ONTARIO, 1 IN 5 PEOPLE ARE EMPLOYED IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE WORKFORCE!!
- We are at the point of the end of the “Public Service Workforce era” where money in the past was being diverted from taxes straight into the Public Service Workforce (and the unions that empowered it).  Presently, countries are diverting their tax earnings away from the public service workforce and into military prowess and influence therefore recreating the world the way, it was before World War 2 ended and money was spent heavily fighting against Communism, which meant an era before money was spent on the public service workforce.  The “Public Service Workforce era” has run full circle and has exhausted itself presently and why it is being ended presently.

22.) IF WE ARE STILL IN A RECESSION THEN WHY DOES CANADA NOT FEEL IT?
- Canada being one of the biggest countries in the world (and yet having one of the smaller populations in the world) allowed for Canada to stimulate their economy from 2008 to the present through lowering of bank rates and development of commercial and private property. This unused land allowed investment to be made (ex: Ajax, Oshawa, Vaughn, Brampton, Markham, etc. which has popped up in the last 10 years -and sped up in the last 7 years). Therefore allowing for money to circulate inside Canada and allowing Canada to grow instead of stagnate like other Developed countries in the world who were caught in the Global Recession.  The unused land is why the Canadian economy did not falter heavily (but did everywhere else in the world).  This is because everywhere else in the world, countries do not have land to invest in and therefore no money to stimulate the national economy.  In most countries, repossession has to occur on already used lands in order to stimulate their economies.

23.) IF CANADA WERE IN A DEPRESSION, THEN WHY WOULD CANADIAN PROVINCES INVEST SO MUCH MONEY IN INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS PRESENTLY?
- Many of the large infrastructure projects that Canada is embarking on presently cannot start with public service unions in place. Public service unions would cost too much to build it.  However, to reduce costs the government will create public work projects so that many people who are unemployed presently (and will be unemployed in the near future during the time of the Depression and World War) will work on these public work projects such as roads and pipelines.  This is why there are so many infrastructure projects on the table presently.  The Depression and War will allow a civilian workforce to be created in order to finish the major projects needed that are on the table today enabling Canada to be a stronger nation in the North American Union and an even stronger regional Global union in place.

24.) WHAT IS THE SYMBOL OF REVOLUTION PRESENTLY?
- The Symbol presented is the “V for Vendetta” Mask (otherwise referred to as the Guy Fawkes mask).  Unfortunately, the Guy Fawkes rebellion failed as did the uprising in 1848 in Europe.  This is why choosing a defeatist mask as a symbol of revolution is very ominous for those hoping to overthrow the corporations in place and create a more Utopian world.  The elite would not promote rebellion and revolution unless they are prepared for it.  The war in Iraq in 2003 (in heavily populated city areas) has enabled information to be extracted in order to create strategies to be used by local and national police forces.  The information extracted from Iraq has allowed for the local and national police forces to get the training and mental conditioning needed to become more militarized and a military force inside their own countries.  Remember that this War will be fought on two fronts, domestic and international forever changing the identity and history of the present world.

25.) WHY DO YOU SAY THAT THIS IS ALL POLITICAL THEATER?
- Simply put, all the countries involved are helping one another in eliminating what is at the heart of the problem for most countries in the Western and Developed world.  As the escalation to the war is ramped up and economic sanctions fly between the West and Russia, what is being precisely targeted by design is the economy and more so directly –unions in the economy.  Believe it or not, the sanctions placed by West on Russia and followed by retaliatory sanctions by Russia on the West in August 2014 actually enables the West to do what they have been wanting to do for so long –eliminate unions.  In fact, the last sanctions imposed by Russia on the West had to do with Russia stopping the importing of food from the West.  What people do not realize is that one of the main barriers to many of the Free Trades Agreements in place between countries all over the world is Farming Unions, Wheat Boards, and Farming Collectives.  For example, Canada was able to eliminate the Wheat Board in 2012, which had been in existence for over 70 years, and was a major problem in furthering any Free Trade agreements between Canada and the rest of the world.  Canada’s current Free Trade deal with Europe has stalled because of the Dairy Farmer’s of Canada and their concerns.  In order to weaken their stance against the Free Trade agreements, you need to cut their profits and therefore their incentive to disagree with the Free Trade deals and protest against it. This is exactly what stopping the importing of Western products into Russia will do.  It will weaken and even cripple many of the unions and boards in place in the Western world allowing Free Trade deal to be pushed through easily without any dissent.  Moreover, the worst a national economy gets because of the economic crisis started in 2008, a national government will be forced to: (a) either borrow more money from central banks, (b) devalue their currency (therefore causing inflation) by printing and pumping more money into the system, (c) by cutting the public service workforce (either by cutting it through government budgets or enforcing austerity measures), OR (d) by raising taxes on their citizens (which is problematic as it will cause citizens to renounce their citizenship and flee the country therefore reducing the opportunity to collect tax revenue).  As the global economy worsens and affects the West even more, the West will be forced to at best reduce their current public service sector workforce and at worst, eliminate their public service workforce altogether and privatize the entire system.  Abnormalities will occur in the public service workforce when it comes to libraries since corporations will not make profit from libraries, corporations will not want control over libraries.  However, salaries, wages, hours, and pensions in libraries will all be cut in the new economy being created presently.  This is why this is “political theater”.  This is why war between  China and NATO and Russia and NATO serves more than one purpose and is more than just about nationalism.  It is symbolic in so many ways.

26.) EXPERTS ALL OVER THE WORLD HAVE SAID THE ECONOMY WILL BE BETTER IN THE FUTURE RATHER THAN BEING WORST!
-Whether it is population projections, GDP projections, mass produced products projections, poverty projections, etc.  Projections from any “expert” are flawed the minute it is made.  Projections can only be correct if everything remains the same throughout the timeline he/she has given you.  However, if one, even 1 variable alters, then the entire projection itself will have to be altered.  Since you cannot get projections every day (at best you can get altered projections every month from an expert on the same topic) the projection he makes will be wrong the minute he makes it.  This is why national governments and institutes will always pick the “rosiest” or “bleakest” projection before revealing it to the public depending on the agenda that is set and the objective they have in mind for the masses to believe in.

27.)  GOVERNMENTS CAN CREATE JOBS AND THEREFORE GET US OUT OF THE RECESSION!
- Yes and No!  Governments cannot create jobs.  Governments can only create public service sector jobs.  Governments can only create incentives for the private sector, big business, and small business owners to invest in their country and their region and therefore create jobs.  Governments cannot create jobs.  The jobs the government creates is in the public sector and therefore funded, sustained, and maintained by taxes (which over time becomes unsustainable because of older populations, growing populations, a smaller workforce in major companies, and companies leaving to go to another area).  Government debt also creates a hole that the government must close up which is problematic for the government who will have to raise taxes in order to maintain the public service jobs already in place therefore eliminating their opportunity to create more public service jobs.  The only way governments can create jobs is to eliminate the unions in place therefore creating an atmosphere that will be attractive to foreign investors, big business, and small business owners to hire people (and therefore create jobs and avoid raising taxes).  Unions jobs and public service sector jobs compromise much of the present labor force in many Developed countries so cutting them is political suicide for a minority or majority government in place (therefore ensuring they will not win in the next election -which is problematic because giving up their office means giving up their future paycheck).  This is why governments refrain from taking on unions and why the Global Recession, Free Trade Agreements, and forced Austerity Measures will finally allow governments to do it.

28.) YOU SAID THAT THE CRASH WOULD OCCUR IN 2008, NO LATER THAN 2009), WHY HAS THAT NOT COME TO FRUITION YET?
- “Quantative Easing” by the U.S. Federal Government and other Central banks in Asia and Europe (from 2008 to today) have printed enormous amounts of money in order to sustain the current global economy in place.  “Quantative Easing” has allowed for governments bonds to be bought thus allowing governments to sustain themselves.  This has allowed: (a) national governments to run their countries, (b) individuals to keep faith with their national governments and not move themselves and their money elsewhere, and (c) also enabled investors to keep faith in the stock markets“Quantative Easing” is why the crash did not occur in 2008 when I thought that it would.  National governments also borrowed huge amounts of money to circulate their national economies (from 2008 onwards) which placed them in huge debt currently and with a decreasing GDP, this is very problematic for national governments currently.  To hide all of this negative news, national governments are manipulating their job data.  This allows for national governments to start tapering their “quantative easing” process which means government bonds and toxic debt will no longer be bought and money that was pumped into the stock markets is reduced.  Not purchasing government bonds weakens national currencies.  The original purchase of stock and bonds by “quantative easing” bought the national governments in place some extra time, enabled stocks and the stock markets to look appealing to investors, and enabled investors to keep circulating money in and around the economy -therefore sustaining the global economy itself.  Many investors at this time (from 2008 to present day), due to low bank rates, stimulated their national economy by buying property (especially in Canada).  This is more problematic today than it was in 2008 because now governments are indebted to central banks and individuals are indebted to national banks.  Tapering as well as the war will allow for the bubble to burst which had been created since 2008. The only issue left is what event (“false flag”) will trigger the bubble to burst and whether it will be a “soft landing” or a “hard landing” when the bubble bursts.


29.)  I WORKED FOR EVERYTHING I EARNED AND NOW YOU ARE TELLING ME I AM ABOUT TO LOSE IT!
- No, I am not telling you that at all.  What I am telling you is that since the 1950's the masses in the Developed and Western world were “blessed” to be born in a timeline where social safety nets, pensions, health care, and education were possible for all.  All of these items are luxuries not something we are entitled to have forever.  We have been given an opportunity through the “birth lottery” to make the most out of our lives with all the things around us.  If you have gone into debt for one thing or another, you took the risk believing that it would be worth it in the end.  I hope that you have not gone into debt where one ripple here or there will drown you.  Make your opportunity count when you have it.  Upward mobility has not historically existed in many societies.  Since the 1950's in the Western world and in the Developed world, the masses have also had a chance in experiencing this.  Do not take your “blessings” for granted.  The “birth lottery” has given us more opportunities than most other generations in the past have ever been given.
