Crossroads: The Scent of a Dying Rose
Previous articles entitled “Ouija Board Economics: Saturn vs. Statistics” and “Ashes, Ashes, The EU Falls Down” contained some information regarding potential future events in the EU and USA. “The Light of the Cross” expanded some EU-related items of interest along with a few other matters.
Topics in “Ouija Board Economics: Saturn vs. Statistics” also relate to factors in “The Light of the Cross”; hence, let us examine some possibilities that could emerge as time progresses.
With the Grand Cross having just occurred it should be noted that its power escalates the various oppositions, and so forth, mentioned in “Ouija Board Economics: Saturn vs. Statistics” with regard to the USA.
Rather than simply restate pertinent items from the three aforementioned articles, let me tie things up from an interpretation standpoint.
The USA is at yet another crossroad. This crossroad is far more serious than any it has faced in the last century. Actions perpetrated by the USA could decrease Islamic division. This is very dangerous for the West as the combined forces of Sunni and Shiite sects would possess enhanced power to exhaust the USA. Indeed, in the past, Sunni and Shiite Muslims cooperated in an uprising against the British.
Please recall from “The Light of the Cross” that there is a powerful tendency towards ousting various established orders and replacing them with new orders.
Should the USA commence hostilities with Persia, there could be consequences leading to the unthinkable – emergent circumstances facilitating a potential defeat of the USA by Islamists and their allies. This may be an indirect defeat. The kind that occurs from domestic destabilization. This is bad for those of us not of the Islamic faith.
Muslims currently straddling the fence will see no reason to remain restrained. A stealth united front.
It would be much safer to maintain disengagement from Persia and leave Muslims divided.
Division is predictable. Division is safety. Division is control.
A common foe,
Unexpected woe;
A strange fire burns,
Flesh as wax in sun turns;
Siege and more,
Souls to the Door;
All things consider.
P.S. For entertainment purposes only.

Unsustainable Debt? You bet!

The Light of the Cross
The previous articles entitled “Ouija
Board Economics: Saturn Vs. Statistics” and “Ashes,
Ashes, The EU Falls Down” contained some information concerning
upcoming events for the USA and the EU. As I ended with the EU last
time (19 April 2010), let me begin with it this time.
In “Ashes, Ashes, The EU Falls Down” it was stated: “The 2010 Jupiter-Saturn opposition in May 2010, August 2010 and March 2011 will see EU governments and central banks facing great challenges.” This has been ongoing. This problem will also re-occur in the future as stated in “Ashes…”. The prognostications concerning Greece from “Ashes…” unfortunately also appear ongoing. As Germany cannot continue to maintain the current form of the EU indefinitely, it was mentioned that the EU would need to reform itself into 7-10 ‘core members’ in order to assure long-term sustainability.
Now, let us tie some of this together and look a bit deeper.
The light of the Grand Cross will appear at the full moon this month (after the June 2010 Solstice). A dance of seven heavenly bodies forms a cross with Jupiter and Uranus in Aries opposing Saturn who is in Libra. Our Moon with Pluto joins with Capricorn. Capricorn opposes both our Sun and Mercury in Cancer. Oddly enough, a lunar eclipse occurs at the time of the cross. What does it all mean when connected to the information in “Ashes, Ashes, and The EU Falls down”? Let’s look.
Out with the old and in with the new. A broken record discarded lest the same tune play until things break down for good. As previously stated, a new order is ‘set’ to emerge. That does not mean that it shall emerge. Either that new order will emerge or the present order will vanish in a disorderly fashion. The EU is at a crossroads. Either the core extracts from the pulp or the whole apple will rot. The ‘core’ and its intact seeds could manifest a stronger, more sustainable entity than the current rotting fruit – our mega-EU and Eurozone.
Forcing the ‘humpty dumpty’ Eurozone, and mega-EU, together at all costs will ultimately foster an uncontrollable disintegration of the EU a bit further down the road with many millions of very unhappy people looking for someone to blame.
A distraction waxes while the ‘core’ extracts. Smoke and mirrors have worked before and could again.
Lastly, concerning upcoming world events -
A Black Swan spreads his wings;
Mark his path by the wreck he brings;
Many friends to each have a share;
SPQR,
Not a wolf, but a Bear.

Unsustainable Debt? You bet!
“A bank is a place that will
lend you money if you can prove that you don't need it.”

In the US, Ben Bernanke says that ‘the U.S. recovery, while being sustained by private demand, isn’t as strong as he prefers and faces risks from Europe’s debt crisis that may require further Fed action.’
Translation…
Mr Bernanke is just winging it. Please recall that Mr Bernanke once said that the subprime mortgage crisis would be ‘contained’. Mr Bernanke is not a prophet of God. He is a banker trying to keep the peace in a global economic war-zone. Hence, he may err on the ‘irrationally exuberant’ side now and then.
According to the Washington Post, “the U.S. economy's major trouble spots -- the housing market and the 9.7 percent unemployment rate -- are showing their staying power. The residential real estate market could head into another slump -- or at least remain flat -- now that government-subsidized incentives have ended. On the jobs front, Bernanke said it would still be a ‘significant amount of time’ before the economy recovered the 8.5 million jobs lost during 2008 and 2009.”
Liquidity leading to large-scale loans of money have not materialized for the average person in the US or EU regardless of the trillions given to banks by taxpayers. Instead, austerity cuts inflicted upon the people are all the rage in the Western world. The rich are getting much richer thanks to the massive ‘corporate welfare’ payments provided to them at the people’s expense! The latest Euro-zone ‘Rescue Fund’ is yet more evidence of the people’s money placed in a ‘fund’ for central bankers to loot when the time is right.
On 9 June 2010, the World Bank stated that a double-dip recession could not be ruled out. Europe’s “Web of Debt” is simply beyond any contemplated bailouts. Regardless of what Axel Weber of the ECB states about the combined debt of Greece, Portugal, Spain and Ireland being only one trillion euros, the figures show otherwise. Greece, Portugal, Spain and Ireland had a combined debt of over 1.16 trillion euros as of 31/12/2009. Italy was about one trillion euros in debt back on 31/21/2009. That’s well over a combined two trillion euros six months ago! Debts have grown like weeds since then. Belgium and Austria have come under scrutiny for debt issues as well. Debt levels have risen since 31/12/2009. Well, so much for the paltry 750 billion euro ‘Rescue Fund’ (I.e., banker bailout fund).
Something else to think about – If American, and other non-Euro-zone, consumers cannot buy enough goods from the Euro-zone, the EU will sink into a severe double-dip recession. The euro needs to fall to around 75-80 US cents to help yank the crumbling Euro-zone out of the mire. Still overvalued property prices need to fall much more as well. A painful unwinding must occur in the Euro-zone if the euro has any chance of survival.
Meanwhile, Ireland’s leader, Brian Cowen, has finally admitted some responsibility for screwing up the economy of Ireland. This comes as no surprise to anyone who has been conscious for the past decade or so. The Republic of Ireland’s jaunt through its delusional “Wonderland” of the false Celtic Tiger economy has finally been exposed for being what it was all along – a “Celtic Ostrich” fostered by a greedy, self-serving government that tried its best to stay in power using borrowed money to finance its operations. In other words, a type of political Ponzi-scheme that was doomed from the beginning.
Goodbye Wonderland. Hello debt bondage or maybe hyperinflation should governments attempt to monetize their way out of the debt dilemma.
“We're not in Wonderland anymore Alice.”
