#4 * See also BIGNEWSNETWORK > [Profit Confidential] JIM RICHARDS: WE ARE IN A GLOBAL DEPRESSION.

Post-GREECE BAILOUT, still ROLLING DOMINO???

* SPUTNIK NEWS > [Russia Today] US GEARS UP FOR ON-RUSHING [US-Global] ECONOMIC APOCALYPSE.

looks like Anti-US US Globalist POTUS Obama will have ALL the PCorrect-Deniable reasons he needs to NOT DEFEND US REGIONAL ALLIES IN EAST ASIA [Japan, PH. Vietnam, etal.] DESPITE VARIOUS MUTUAL DEFENSE-SECURITY TREATIES, + TO HAND OVER GUAM-CNMI-WESTPAC + 1/2 OF PACIFIC [Hawaii?]TO CHINA BY 2020 NLT 2025 [Post-Jan 2017 Globalist POTUS Successor(s)].

Lest we fergit, IRAN NUKE DEAL > POTUS OBAMA [paraph] ="THE US CAN'T AFFORD TO REMOVE OR DELINK CHINA FROM THE US FINANCIAL SYSTEM", I.E. THE US NEEDS TO KEEP BOND-BORROWING, ETC. FROM CHINA IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN ITS OVERMASSIVE-N-STILL-EXPANDING NATIONAL WELFARE-NANNY STATE.

And BTW avoid a NucWar wid China as China as already Nuke-Armed + LT Member of the Nuclear Club. THE US NEEDS TO AVOID A WAR OR NUCWAR WID CHINA AS IT DID WID PRE, POST-NUKE DEAL IRAN.

AH YES, NOTHING SAYS SOCIALIST HAPPINESS THAN A MASSIVE SOVIET-STYLE DEBT WRITE-OFF.

* LUCIANNE > [Investors Business Daily = CNS] 150 DAYS: US TREASURY SAYS DEBT HAS BEEN FROZEN AT US$18, 112, 975,000,000.

A potent econ indicator that US foreign vendors/financial lenders consider the US per se as excessively, effectively, andor essentially DE FACTO BANKRUPT, + ARE DEMANDING GOLD-N-SILVER, OTHER COMMODITY? PAYMENTS IN LIEU OF ACCEPTING US-PRINTED PAPER DOLLARS [inflationary].

WE ARE ALL POST-VERSAILLES WEIMAR GERMANS NOW.
