A Speculative Correlation
By Perry Jones
February 1, 2011
Several months back, radar images on the National Weather Service site showed strange and large toroidal shapes over the Texas panhandle. They continued off and on for a period of several weeks. All were very hot with temperatures of around 300 degrees. One had a temperature in excess of 500 degrees.
To me, this was a clear indication of someone messing with the weather. At the time I had no idea what a huge, hot donut would do. I think we now have the answer.
The recent chain of storms, which does not appear to ending, originates in this exact region where the donut shapes appeared over the summer and fall. The internal heat of these toroids seems to be the fuel which is producing this spate of storms that has swept across the mid and eastern US. In the northeast, more snow has fallen in one month in some places than the average for a year.
Although some are attributing this to global warming (with which I more or less agree), I feel this unending train of storms is being manipulated into being - perhaps by the HAARPS or some other mechanism or device. The position of the jet stream is forcing arctic air from Canada into the US, which, colliding with the warm air produced by these toroids yields this chain of "super-storms". The jet stream itself is being held in place by a high pressure area over Greenland. This high also seems to be artificially induced, and may be held in place by HAARPS or some other unknown method.
What would be the purpose of this? I can only speculate, but I feel one answer may be to drain the already strained budgets of the municipalities and states of the east coast. It also may be to degrade the infrastructure or to undermine commerce by preventing people from going to work. When people don't go to work, they don't get paid, businesses lose money and cities and states receive less taxes. Because the majority of US people, business and finances are nested in this area, the impact of strained budgets, loss of personal income and reduced taxes may push the US into a double dip depression or perhaps another Great Depression.
So how does this correlate with all the turmoil in the MidEast?
I can certainly understand the anger and frustration of the people in this area who have suffered under despotic regimes for so long. They yearn for freedom and liberty as do all people. The dictators who lead their nations have crushed political dissent, limited freedom and communication in some states and tortured and executed thousands who oppose their rule. The anger of the people is understandable.
However, the actions of the leaders, Hosni Mubarak of Egypt and King Abdullah II of Jordan, seem to be intentionally acts to further provoke the people. In both countries, the people are crying out for freedom and an end to despotic rule. In both countries, the people want a government of the people, by the people, for the people. In both countries, the people want a completely new government with the ouster of the heads of each country the key goal of the people.
Yet, in both countries, the leaders have only dismissed the current government and replaced it with men who seem even more hardline than their predecessors. In both countries, the new second in command is either a former intelligence officer who was responsible for ruthlessly crushing the opposition or a military officer who did the same.
This does not seem like a move intended to placate the demonstrators. Rather, it seems like an intentional provocation. And, I believe it is.
Or at least could be. In Egypt, the Army (340,000 active troops) has sided with the people while the police (330,000 police) has sided with the government. Continued provocations on the part of Mubarak could lead to violence. The people, and perhaps the Army, may decide to take things into their hands in a new way by using violence to achieve their ends. With the police and Army fairly balanced, any hostilities by either side could plunge Egypt into civil war. Should Egypt descend into civil war this could destabilize the whole region. Libya and perhaps the Sudan or Ethiopia could also destabilize with riots in the streets and the people demanding the ouster of their leaders.
The nations of the Arabian peninsula would also be at risk. Saudi Arabia - our primary oil supplier - Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain - headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet - the UAE and Oman may all be at risk. All are key oil producers supplying much of the oil for the rest of the world. If these nations destabilize into riots and turmoil, the price of oil will easily reach $100 a barrel. Combined with the storms in the US and Australia (did I mention the chain of storms in Australia?), the entire world would be plunged into a Great Depression unlike the world has ever seen. The last several years in the US - with our near 10% unemployment, over 1 million foreclosed homes and a mass shift of a large part of the middle class into poverty - would all seem like "The Good Old Days".
If Jordan should plunge into civil war, the destabilization of all the nations of the Mideast would be a near certainty. This could require outside intervention to stem the turmoil and only two forces have the capability to provide that stability: NATO and the US Army. Neither force would be welcomed in the area. But, barring some internal resolution, some nation or force will have to step into the picture. If not a western force, then Iran almost certainly will and that simply cannot be allowed.
If Iran were to step into the picture, that would place Iran in control of the majority of the world's oil supplies. Although we are slowly moving toward and hoping and planning for a transition to a green economy, that simply will not happen fast enough to prevent destruction of the world economy if any of the preceding occurs.
Another possible force which could intervene in the Mideast would be a United Nations Force, but such a force does not yet exist in the numbers required to provide stability to the region. However, if necessary, the United Nations may create such a force.
So, with all the storms and the turmoil in the Mideast, the likely seems one of the most probable scenarios. Snowstorms in the northeast financial centers will sap the already overstretched budgets of states and municipalities in those areas. This would lead to a double dip recession in the US. Turmoil in the Mideast raises the price of oil to astronomical levels forcing the world into an economic decline. The Great Recession in the US evolves into another Great Depression. This spreads around the world forcing nearly every nation into great distress. At this point, resolutions may be provided for this crisis, including the introduction of a one world currency. Other measures would also be introduced, perhaps that of consolidating Egypt, Libya and either Ethiopia or the Sudan into a regional command under the auspices of the United Nations or a Mideast command. This regional command may include all the nations of the Mideast.
Another possibility is this. If a regional command were to be established that includes all the major oil producing nations of the Mideast and with Mexico (another world oil producer) already descending into civil war, (Oh, you didn't hear about that?) and if this regional command were to be placed under the actual or de facto command of the US, that would place China's oil supplies in jeopardy. The US would then have the power to dictate Chinese policy by holding its oil hostage.
Obviously, China would not accept this. To ensure its oil supplies, China may then roll its tanks across the Euphrates and into the Mideast. Should this occur, this would clearly set off a world war.
The best case scenario looks a little like this. The storms will eventually end. People will go back to work. The economy will recover over the course of the spring. The turmoil in the Mideast will settle down and the people there will be happy with their new governments. Oil prices will go down. Although things don't quite go back to the way they used to be, they will come close and everyone will live happily ever after. If only.
What I have represented is two opposite poles. The reality of the situation will probably work out to be something between those two extremes. But the best case scenario is not only unlikely, it is impossible. The United States is already bankrupt, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, trillions of dollars in stimulus and trillions spent on unnecessary wars have drained the monetary reserves of the United States beyond the breaking point. It is already too late (unless we make a Radical change), it's just that no one has told us yet. The only way out is to reduce the military budget annually, privatize Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and begin a new era of truly bipartisan politics on Capitol Hills. But I feel that is the least likely scenario of all. What do you think?
The reason we must privatize Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is simple. Their growth rate as a percentage of the national budget is simply unsustainable. It will be only a matter of several years that these programs will require 100% of the US budget. Those who tell you otherwise are either outright lying, politicking or simply blind to the truth. Don't let them deceive you.
Those who say we must not allow Social Security to be privatized by putting it into the stock market are correct. The stock market is too volatile and unpredictable. You could have a million dollars in your account one day and be wiped out the other. But there is a way to privatize Social Security that would A. stimulate the US economy, B. be safe and C. provide at least the same amount (if not more) benefits than participants are now currently receiving.
This method would be to create a trust for each individual. Their social security payments would be placed into these accounts. The money in these accounts would be nontaxable until withdrawn. The trustee of each account would invest the funds of each account into safe, passive income investments. These investments would be required to pay a minimum of 7.5% a year in yield. There are many such investments of this nature ranging from asset-backed securities to oil and gas trusts to REIT's, BDC's and ETF's. You can find the article I wrote about these passive income investments online under my name. I have identified over 20 passive income investments. (part 1) Part 2
Many of my advisors believe the US has passed the point of no return. Some of them have fled the country. There are groups of Christians as well as militia groups who have built camps in the mountains far away from civilization waiting for the day when it all comes down. They also believe it is too late. I know we have a very limited time remaining to turn things around and that turn around will require a dramatic change in the lifestyles of all Americans. That is unlikely to occur, but I also believe that, to God, all things are possible.
