After U.S. financial markets closed on Friday, S&P announced credit downgrades for nine European nations
Over the past several months we have seen quite a few credit downgrades all over Europe, but we have never seen anything quite like what S&P just did. . .
In addition, there was another really, really troubling piece of news that came out of Europe on Friday.
It was announced that negotiations between the Greek government and private holders of Greek debt have broken down. . .
Already there are indications that foreigners are starting to dump large amounts of U.S. debt. If this trickle becomes a flood things could become very bad for the United States very quickly.
We are on the verge of some very bad things. The kinds of "financial bombs" that we saw dropped today are going to become much more frequent. As governments, banks and investors scramble to survive, we are going to see extreme amounts of volatility in the financial marketplace.
Things are not going to be "normal" again for a really, really long time.
Hold on tight, because 2012 is going to be a very interesting year.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Huge Financial Bombs Just Got Dropped All Over Europe
The age of liberal finance came to an end with the Friday January 9, 2011, S&P downgrade of nine European nations.
ReplyDeleteOur times are best understood through the lens of bible prophecy. The Sovereign Lord God, Psalm 2:4-5, is acting to bring forth a revived Roman Empire, that is a German led Europe.
At the appointed time, He will open the curtains, and out onto the world’s stage will step the most credible leader. This Little Horn, or Little Authority, Daniel 7:25, will work behind the scenes in regional framework agreements to change our times and laws to provide order out of the chaos from a soon coming credit breakdown and financial system collapse. The existing rule of law will be replaced by his word, will and way, Revelation 13:5-10. In the supranational New Europe, national sovereignty will be seen as a relic of a bygone era. The people will be amazed by this, and place their faith and trust in him; they will give their allegiance to his diktat, Revelation 13:3-4.
The Banker regime of Neoliberalism came via the Free To Choose floating currency script of Milton Friedman; but these are now sinking, causing global disinvestment out of stocks and deleveraging out of commodities. The natural result of destructionism is the rise of despotism.
The Beast regime of Neoauthoritarianism, Revelation 13:1-4, is rising in its place. It comes via the 1974 Club of Rome’s Clarion Club for regional global governance. This monster of statism and collectivism is rising from the profligate Mediterranean countries of Italy and Greece. The Beast’s seven heads are rising to occupy in all mankind’s institutions, and its ten horns are rising to govern in all of the world’s ten regions. The Beast system is coming like a terminator that can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever until mankind is totally dominated and subdued.
Bank nationalization is coming world wide. Banks will be nationalized in 2012; perhaps better said banks will be regionalized as Bloomberg reports Too-Big-to-Fail Definition May Be Expanded. Global regulators may expand the definition of a too-big-to-fail financial firm, signing up domestic lenders, clearing houses and insurers to capital rules designed for the world’s biggest banks. The “framework should be in place for domestically systemically important banks by the end of the year,” Mark Carney, chairman of the Financial Stability Board, said yesterday after a meeting of the group in Basel, Switzerland. Deutsche Bank AG (DBK), BNP Paribas SA (BNP) and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) were among 29 banks subject to the so-called capital surcharge on globally systemic financial institutions drawn up by the FSB in November. Banks will have to boost reserves by 1 to 2.5 percentage points above minimum levels agreed on by international regulators. The new banks will be known as government banks.
In a bank insolvent and sovereign insolvent world, regional stakeholders will be appointed to Stakeholder Committees, that is regional public private partnerships, PPPs. Public private partnerships, such as Macquarie Infrastructure, MIC, will take the lead in managing the factors of production. Canadian Energy Income Companies, ENY, and Canadian Oil and Pipeline Companies such as Enbridge, ENB, will for all practical purposes, be regionalized, that is something akin to being nationalized. There will be New Credit for the New Europe, it will be Stakeholder Credit coming from the Stakeholder Committee, as it meets in working group conference. This Stakeholder Credit will complement regional global governance to provide funding for the operations of industry critical to the EU’s security and stability. As for the people, the residents of the New Europe, the prevailing concept will be, let them eat diktat. … http://tinyurl.com/6pptlqw
