First, you must put on your “tinfoil hat” because this one is out there... fictional yes, but for gaming a worst case scenario, it’s not bad. October 23 Friday Key members of the “PowersThatBe” leave their offices or simply don't come in. They take off in private jets for unspecified destinations. Enroute they sell their securities and wire their money to offshore banks in foreign currencies. Market volume is high, the Dow drops 300 points. October 24, Saturday Everything seems normal to everyday folks. October 25 Sunday A nice earthquake, maybe a 6.5 as a mood-setter. Israel threatens to strike Iran if immediate concessions are not made. US demands calm and seeks one week for active talks. October 26, Monday Fearful of an “end times war” and traffic on the internet which is inflaming the situation, people flock to banks and ATM's to take out money. ATM's run out. Rumors begin. FSAB announces its “Exposure Draft.” Market reels and drops 600 points on the idea of a valuation confessional. October 27, Tuesday A bad look-ahead number in some index or report hammers the market another 300 points down. Meantime, the US dollar drops 5% in one day, causing a $100 gold move up to the $1,300 level, silver passes $23. Most ATM's empty, banks calling Fed for money right and left. October 28 Wednesday New reports indicate healthcare plan is bust and Democratic Party goes into break-up mode with name-calling about the now apparently failing economy. Wholesale blaming both side and outside the party ensues. Market drops another 500 points sending confusion. Interest rates surge as bank borrowing increases. October 29th Thursday World Health Organization (WHO) recommends shutdown of all international aviation in Northern Hemisphere due to flu fears. Market drops 9009 points and a market circuit breaker is thrown. Hotels, airlines, car rental, insurance, food sector, all industries are hit. Dollar drops another 7 percent. Gold is passing $1,500 and silver is at $35 and climbing fast. Scattered bank runs begin in earnest. October 30 Friday Israel attacks Iran with two tactical nuke bunker busters but denies the claims of the Iranians and says it was their stockpiles of “weapons material” that caused all the damage. Iran responds by sinking five U.S. Navy ships in the Strait of Hormuz where they have been on picket duty. US dollar drops 10%, gold forges ahead to $1,950 by the close, silver screams to $82.50. Bank runs and rumors pick up speed. Stores report people are beginning to horde food. October 31, Saturday Massive coordinated attacks of unbelievable savagery against US forces in all countries in the Middle East. Losses are estimated at 10,000 killed or injured in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. Markets closed, terrorists hit Saudi oil refining and transshipment points. Those people not glued in horror to their televisions are stocking up on food. Scattered violence is breaking out as home invasions begin by gang members around inner city areas, looking for food, guns, and drugs, knowing the cops are off defending banks and ATM's which are being knocked over. November 1 Sunday President Obama appeals to the nation for calm, and orders a one week cooling off period. Orders US forces to assist local police nationwide. Makes vaccine administration mandatory for all age groups. Closes airports for 'security reasons' and sends Congress to the 'continuation of government sites' until the troubles are over and returning to Washington is safe. Sunday afternoon reports coming in of massive radiation leaks from the bombed Iran underground storage area where what's now radioactive oil is sending smoke and flames thousands of feet into the atmosphere. Monday: November 2 People are angry - mobs begin to form in big cities and attacks on banks, bankers, and financial institutions begin in a serious way. Anyone driving an upscale car is viciously attacked and beaten by roving mobs. No bank is left secure. Police begin to desert their ranks, feeling pressure to defend their families. National Guard is too thinly spread, the internet falters under heavy use, and gold trading in Europe passes $3,500 US dollars per ounce as the dollar drops another 10% and silver is now at $325 US per ounce. Rioting has broken out in Europe over what is being called the Israeli mistake in bombing Iran. Tuesday November 3 Live coverage of the president and staff leave for the continuity of government site, Washington is deemed unsafe. Massive marches begin on the Capitol go unopposed by police. Wednesday November 4 This may be the bleakest day in America as virtually all major cities have urban business cores on fire and looted, banks destroyed. It's nearing winter and power is blinking off due to workers not going to their posts. Thursday November 5 More of the same and worse. The internet begins to fail. Friday November 6 Sensing weakness, North Korea launches two nuclear weapons into Seoul. Casualties are estimated at 400,000 dead and eventually three million injured, not counting the radiation victims. Saturday November 7 Radiation from the Iran attack is reaching US in strength to be followed within six days by Korea attack radiation. Monday November 8 Global markets are unable to operate. Banks don't work, country is in shambles and no one has money or a way to cash in paper assets. Gold, should one have any, fetches the equivalent of $10,000 worth of goods and silver is buying more than $1,000 worth of goods. Tuesday November 9 Bad weather and a lack of any easy targets result in the country settling a bit. Power is still sporadic. Inmates in prisons and jails who have had no food get some sandwiches as a few guards return. TV talks about congress and the president working on “reforms.” Wednesday November 10 With the president absent and congress in retreat, FEMA director declares himself in charge of the country and takes over. Martial law is declared and anyone opposing government control is warned they will be shot on sight. Most citizens don't get the message due to the power and internet disruptions. Civil War Two is game on. With winter emergent, and with flu spreading like wildfire, the death toll among the civilian population mounts. Radiation poisoning sets about its slow but inevitable work, animals in herds will mostly die, the oceans are already mostly dead and stripped out. It's really much worse than this; it's the vision of what those of us who look at how bad the future could be this year worry about.” 5:46:56 AM 8/06/09 “not very well thought out, but interesting concept nonetheless.” 5:55:14 AM 8/06/09 “A wet dream for survivalists. Some people seem to crave the total breakdown of society, and they all think they're going to be the ones who will be able to keep their way of life safe because they've "prepared" stockpiles of ammo and food. That said, there's two types of people in this country: those who take responsibility and prepare for emergencies, and those who shirk the responsibility and rely on the government. Guess who's going to fair better in a limited Sh*t Hits the Fan Scenario like Katrina? Guess which TTers fit into which categories? LOL last edited: 8/06/09 5:59:01 AM” 6:05:29 AM 8/06/09 and while we are doing "conspiracy theory".. “Arm yourself before the hysteria hits this fall! "We have been programmed by the medical community and the media to believe that everyone – children and adults -- will become sick, and likely die, unless they are vaccinated. This explains why not vaccinating can be unfathomable to new parents who are unreasonably terrified of what were considered normal childhood illnesses only a few decades ago". Dr. Sherri Tenpenny (http://drtenpenny.com/default.aspx) To opt out: http://drtenpenny.com/vac_refusal_forms.aspx NaturalNews.com (originally published August 5 2009) Diseased African Monkeys Used to Make Swine Flu Vaccines; Private Military Contractor Holds Key Patents Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor (NaturalNews) To most people, vaccines sound medically harmless. "They're good for you!" say the doctors and drug companies, but they never really talk about what's in those vaccines. There's a good reason for that: If people knew what was really in those vaccines, they would never allow themselves to be injected with them. Aside from the dangerous ingredients many people already know about (like squalene or thimerosal), one of the key ingredients used in flu vaccines (including the vaccines being prepared for the swine flu pandemic) is the diseased flesh of African Green Monkeys. This is revealed in U.S. patent No. 5911998 - Method of producing a virus vaccine from an African green monkey kidney cell line. (http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/5...) As this patent readily explains, ingredients used in the vaccine are derived from the kidneys of African Green Monkeys who are first infected with the virus, then allowed to fester the disease, and then are killed so that their diseased organs can be used make vaccine ingredients. This is done in a cruel, inhumane "flesh factory" environment where the monkeys are subjected to a process that includes "incubating said inoculated cell line to permit proliferation of said virus." Then: "harvesting the virus resulting from step (c); and... (ii) preparing a vaccine from the harvested virus." Aside from the outrageous cruelty taking place with all this ("incubating" the virus in the kidneys of living monkeys, for example), there's another disturbing fact that has surfaced in all this: The patent for this process is held not just by the National Institutes of Health, but by another private corporation known as DynCorp. This, of course, brings up the obvious question: Who is Dyncorp? And why do they hold a patent on live attenuated vaccine production using African Green Monkeys? What you probably didn't want to know about Dyncorp DynCorp, it turns out, is a one of the top private military contractors working for the U.S. government. In addition to allegedly trafficking in under-age sex slaves in Bosnia (http://www.corpwatch.org/article.ph...) and poisoning rural farmers in Ecuador with its aerial spraying of Colombian coca crops (http://www.corpwatch.org/article.ph...), Dyncorp just happens to be paid big dollars by the U.S. government to patrol the U.S. / Mexico border, near where the H1N1 first swine flu virus was originally detected. DynCorp also happens to be in a position to receive tremendous financial rewards from its patents covering attenuated live viral vaccine harvesting methods, as described in four key patents jointly held by DynCorp and the National Institutes of Health: (6025182) Method for producing a virus from an African green monkey kidney cell line (6117667) Method for producing an adapted virus population from an African green monkey kidney cell line (http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/6...) (5911998) Method of producing a virus vaccine from an African green monkey kidney cell line (5646033) African green monkey kidney cell lines useful for maintaining viruses and for preparation of viral vaccines Government collusion? One of the key inventors in these patents now held by DynCorp was Dr. Robert H. Purcell. Who is Dr. Robert Purcell? He's one of the co-chiefs of the Laboratory of Infectious Diseases of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases operating under the National Institutes of Health of the U.S. government. (http://www3.niaid.nih.gov/labs/abou...) That office, located at 50 South Drive, Bethesda, MD 20892, is less than 15 miles away from the headquarters of DynCorp. It's not too many more miles to Washington D.C., where U.S. government health authorities awarded over $1 billion in swine flu vaccine contracts to pharmaceutical companies. Can you guess which company received one of the largest vaccine manufacturing contracts? Baxter Pharmaceuticals, the very same company using ingredients derived from African Green Monkeys in precisely the way described in the patents held jointly by DynCorp and the NIH. Remember, Baxter is the company that was caught inserting live viruses into vaccine materials distributed to 18 different countries. Are you following all this? So far, we have the U.S. government awarding swine flu vaccine manufacturing contracts to a major U.S. vaccine manufacturer (Baxter) that uses vaccine ingredients from African Green Monkeys (sick!), derived from a process covered in a patent invented by U.S. government NIH researchers (Dr. Purcell and others) and now held jointly by the NIH and a private military contractor named DynCorp -- the very same company that's paid to monitor the U.S. / Mexico border where H1N1 swine flu first appeared. And just today, there's yet another development in all this: A Tamiflu-resistant strain of swine flu has just been discovered. Care to guess where? On the U.S.-Mexico border (http://www.google.com/hostednews/af...) Once you understand all this, some obvious questions come to mind: Could H1N1 swine flu have been intentionally created and released into the wild (in Mexico) in order to create a windfall of vaccine profits that would financially benefit both the drug companies and the vaccine production patent holders? Because it certainly appears that a grand conspiracy between the NIH, the vaccine makers and private military contractors could have pulled this off. But wait: Would a private military contractor really resort to such tactics just to make money? Decide for yourself. Dyncorp has already been accused of crimes against humanity and genocide (http://www.corpwatch.org/section.ph...). According to the Wikipedia page on Dyncorp: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DynCor...) Since the late 1990s, the United States has paid private contractors an estimated $1.2 billion, both to eradicate coca crops and to assist the Colombian army put down rebels that use the illegal drug trade to finance their insurgency. DynCorp has been awarded under competitive bid more of this business than any other company. In September 2001, a group of Ecuadorian farmers filed a class-action lawsuit against DynCorp under the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA), the Torture Victim Protection Act and state law claims in US federal court in the District of Columbia. The plaintiffs claimed that from January to February 2001 DynCorp sprayed the herbicide almost daily, in a reckless manner, causing severe health problems (high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, dermatological problems) and the destruction of food crops and livestock of approximately 10,000 residents of the border region. In addition, the plaintiffs alleged that the toxicity of the fumigant caused the deaths of four infants in this region. The plaintiffs alleged under ATCA that DynCorp’s intensive aerial spraying of a toxic fumigant amounted to torture, a crime against humanity and cultural genocide. And on the issue of DynCorp's people engaging in the sex slave trade: According to whistleblower Ben Johnston, a former aircraft mechanic who worked for [DynCorp] in Bosnia, employees and supervisors of a predecessor company to today's DynCorp International engaged in sex with 12 to 15 year old children, and sold them to each other as slaves. On June 2, 2000, members of the 48th Military Police Detachment conducted a sting on the DynCorp hangar at Comanche Base Camp, one of two U.S. bases in Bosnia, and all DynCorp personnel were detained for questioning. CID spent several weeks working the investigation and the results appear to support Johnston's allegations. For example, according to DynCorp employee Kevin Werner's sworn statement to CID, "during my last six months I have come to know a man we call 'Debeli,' which is Bosnian for fat boy. He is the operator of a nightclub by the name of Harley's that offers prostitution. Women are sold hourly, nightly or permanently." Could this same company -- which admittedly sprays poison on family farms in Colombia and Ecuador -- have engaged in another crime against humanity with the release of swine flu virus in Mexico? Important questions that need to be asked (and answered) This apparent conspiracy brings up several important questions that need to be answered: 1) Why are key viral vaccine patents jointly held by the NIH and a large private military contractor? 2) Given the atrocious vaccine material handling safety record of Baxter Pharmaceuticals, why did the U.S. government choose Baxter to manufacture vaccines for public consumption? 3) Why is no one talking about the African Green Monkeys who are infected, incubated and then killed for harvesting vaccine ingredients used in the swine flu vaccine? 4) Is it just coincidence that the swine flu virus (and now the Tamiflu-resistant mutation of the virus) first appeared at the U.S. / Mexico border near where DynCorp has a security presence? 5) Why would the inventors of a key vaccine technology agree to hand over ownership of the patent to a private military contractor like DynCorp? 6) Why has nobody in the mainstream media noticed any of this yet (or not bothered to report on it?) 7) How much money is DynCorp collecting on the vaccine patents due to the sudden large-scale manufacture of swine flu vaccines taking place right now? 8) Why does the U.S. government continue to do business with criminally-minded organizations and incompetent vaccine manufacturers? The pieces of the puzzle (opinion) It's difficult to consider all the evidence presented here and not come to the rational conclusion that something sinister is afoot in America today. Let me paint a picture for you of a plausible scenario of what I think is happening right now. Note, carefully, that this is merely speculation, but it's a theory that makes sense: Back in the late 1990's, evil leaders of the U.S. government decided they needed to launch a covert population control measure that could reduce the population while deflecting blame for the deaths. The obvious choice for this was a viral pandemic, so using the viral samples and knowledge already attained by U.S. Army virologists, they engineered a combination swine / avian / human influenza virus patterned after the 1918 influenza that devastated the world population nearly a century ago. The plan, of course, would be to release the virus into the wild and let nature do the rest. But killing off a lot of people isn't profitable enough all by itself. The plan is a lot smarter if you add a profit center to it... and that's where the vaccines come into play. First, the patents had to be secured in order to guarantee profitability. DynCorp was offered partial ownership of the patents (together with the National Institutes of Health) in exchange for its responsibility to covertly release the engineered virus in Mexico, assuring the global spread of the next influenza pandemic. It will be paid back in patent royalties from the pharmaceutical companies that are awarded the government-funded vaccine manufacturing contracts. Baxter was chosen by the U.S. government precisely because of its expertise in inserting live viruses into vaccine materials. And just to make sure the drug companies would play along, the U.S. government (under the Bush administration) granted them all complete immunity against product liability for all vaccines. This removed any financial risk from the drug companies while setting the stage for a massive human die-off following the vaccine injections. Once the injections begin and people start dying, the deaths will simply be blamed on the virus itself. The drug companies have complete legal immunity, and DynCorp gets its share of the profits as the holder of the patents. Key conspirators are rewarded with bonus stock options and / or the threat of being killed if they talk. Through this plan, several important things are accomplished: 1) The population gets reduced (with no blame on the national leaders). 2) Billions of dollars get funneled to powerful corporations. 3) The pandemic outbreak itself allows government to declare a State of Emergency where yet more rights and freedoms can be stolen away from the People. (And companies like DynCorp can be hired to run domestic prison camps or "isolation camps.") 4) The government and the pharmaceutical industry both get to position themselves as "heroic" for apparently attempting to stop the pandemic with vaccines. No matter how many people actually die, Big Pharma will claim many more would have died without the vaccine. 5) Those who survive the pandemic (and the vaccine) become immune compromised due to the vaccine, and they later emerge as repeat customers for future medical procedures (cancer, Parkinson's, etc.). Of course, this is all just a theory. Some people might even call it a paranoid theory. But I ask them one question: Why does a top U.S. military contractor share ownership of key vaccine patents with the U.S. government's National Institutes of Health? Merely attempting to explain that will lead you down the path to all kinds of eye-opening information about collusion between government, the pharmaceutical industry and the military-industrial complex. And you know what they all have in common? They're all promoters of death. But it's not enough to just kill you; they want to make money while they're doing it. Read your history. Finally, I feel the need to preempt the naive critics who will inevitably post comments to this story like, "Corporations and governments would never knowingly harm people for power or profit." Such naivete is almost not worth responding to, but I'll do it in advance just to be sure: Read your world history. Not only is world history full of examples of governments and corporations knowingly harming people for profit, it could be accurately stated that world history is largely a collection of precisely such things! Read your Noam Chomsky, or Naomi Klein, or Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins. His newest book is a real eye-opener about the way governments really work: The Secret History of the American Empire: The Truth About Economic Hit Men, Jackals, and How to Change the World (http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Histor...). Although I can't prove it yet, I believe this current swine flu vaccine push is also part of a grand military-industrial-pharmaceutical conspiracy designed to harm the people while extracting huge profits. Only time will tell if this is an accurate assessment of the current situation. In the mean time, you may wish to avoid being injected with viral material taken from African Green Monkeys (unless you're some sort of sicko).

As Rosey said there's an unrealistic expectation that there would be an instant turnaround, all you can do it try to turn the ship away from the rocks and hope is responds in time, because it's not instant. We're seeing a major readjustment in the global economy that has taken place over decades. It was covered by by cheap loans from China. We've been exporting our wealth for oil and cheap manufactured goods. Most of the wealth generated in the past 10 years was a complete illusion built on cheap credit, and a financial industry that was a house of cards. We need to knuckle down and lay the groundwork for success in the future, and that's what we're trying to do now. That involves attempting numerous reforms at a very difficult time, reforms that should really have taken place during boom times. So anyone thinking these things would happen overnight are fools.

"We believe the lower claims figures are an important economic development and confirmation that the economy is turning the corner," Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank, wrote in a note to clients.
