The Dow has plunged 530 points

CNN Money reports:

The Dow plummeted 531 points, concluding its worst week since 2011. Around the world, major indexes also fell for the week and most are negative for the month.

Three big factors are driving this week’s worries:

  1. Concerns are growing that China’s economy is slowing down faster than its government has said.
  2. Investors had been preparing for the U.S. Federal Reserve to raise its benchmark interest rate in September. However, the central bank has been sending mixed signals. That’s dredging out the market’s worst enemy: uncertainty.
  3. Oil prices dropped below the key $40 level for the first time since 2009.

While discussing how bad recent economic data looked globally in the lead up to an expected fed rate increase next month, Jack Rivkin said the following in an interview with Bloomberg.

“The biggest worry amidst all that’s out there is Russia.”

We could see Russia do some things that are surprising

We could see Putin do some things that would NOT be expected geopolitically to divert attention from what’s really happening

“The writing is on the wall”

The Centre for Research on Globalization Reports:

It was said after the last financial crash that “no one could’ve seen it coming”. This was not so back then and is not so today.

If you were looking for the truth in 2007, the average investor had ample warning from many sources of what was to come.

The warnings are now much louder and coming from mainstream and even “official sources”.

After the biggest financial and social crash in history occurs, “they” will say you were warned! Who are “they” and how exactly were we warned?

In the last 12 months, the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and the BIS (Bank for International Settlements) – have been issuing warning after warning.

Summary of reports over the past week

So many things happening in the world right now!

  1. A financial crisis has now become an increasing topic of discussion within MAINSTREAM media (Bloomberg, Telegraph, WSJ), not just the conspiracy theorist sites.
  2. Putin is facing arguably the toughest time in his 15 year reign. Political analysts say that he MUST act soon to do something to distract the attention away from Russias internal economic problems or he will be in trouble. There have been reports of Russia preparing for full scale war over the past few months.
  3. The Pope is speaking at the UN next month to discuss “a new world order”
  4. Australia is set to vote on, or pass “gay marriage” in the next 12 months after “gay marriage” successfully passed in an Ireland vote and a US court ruling.
  5. The next 12 months are set to bring the most unprecedented weather ever recorded.
  6. The Eurozone crisis has been given a lease of life. The Greece crisis has been “resolved” by Eurozone members when in actual fact the IMF (the lenders) haven’t actually agreed to a deal yet.
  7. For the first time in my knowledge at least, Putin blew his top at the Turkish President. This is a major development given that we expect to see Russia take Istanbul on his way down south. Georgia was annexed, Crimea has been taken, the only thing left South is Turkeys Istanbul before Dan 11 suddenly becomes a stark reality.
