Stage Set for Great Unravelling to End – With a Jolt! Here’s Why & How (+2K Views)

Many of those who observe the daily news reports are beginning to figure out that they are being fed global_economic_crisismisinformation and that neither political party truly represents them or, for that matter, is even concerned for their welfare. Those folks are now navigating in the dark and, as the Great Unravelling progresses, they are being caught unawares and unable to even understand what has occurred, let alone take action to save themselves. [This article attempts to enlighten such individuals as to why such events are unfolding and what the eventual – inevitable – consequences will be for them unless they]educate themselves and prepare an alternative life.

So says Jeff Thomas (internationalman.com) in edited excerpts from his original article* entitled It Will Happen Suddenly.

 [The following is presented by Lorimer Wilson, editor of www.munKNEE.com and may have been edited ([ ]), abridged (…) and/or reformatted (some sub-titles and bold/italics emphases) for the sake of clarity and brevity to ensure a fast and easy read.

Thomas goes on to say in further edited excerpts:

Only a year ago, the average person was still hanging on to the belief that the world was in a state of recovery, that, however tentative, the economy was on the mend, and this is understandable. After all, the media have been doing a bang-up job of explaining the situation in a way that:

  • treats recovery as a general assumption; that the only point of discussion is the method applied to achieve the recovery, but the recovery itself is treated as a given.

However, as thorough a distraction as the media (and the governments of the world) have provided, the average person has begun to recognise that something is fundamentally wrong. He now has a gut feeling that, even if he is not well-versed enough to describe in economic terms what is incorrect in the endless chatter he sees on his television, he now senses that the situation will not end well.

I tend to liken this situation to someone who suddenly finds all the lights off in his house. He stumbles around in the dark, trying to feel his way. Although he can picture in his mind what the layout of his house is, he is having trouble navigating, often bumping into things. This is similar to the attempt to see through the media and government smokescreens during normal times.

Soon, however, as his government undergoes collapse, he will be getting some bigger surprises. He will find that the furniture has inexplicably been moved around…[that they] are not where they are supposed to be, and that it is no longer possible to reason his way through the problem of navigating in the dark…The biggest surprises, however, have not yet occurred. There will be a certain amount of lead-up, plus a great deal of confusion, but the actual occurrences will be sudden. No one will be able to predict the dates on which they occur, except those very few people who control the triggers to these events.

Crashes in the Markets

Major bull markets rarely end with a whimper. They end with a major upside spike. Unfortunately, brokers and investors alike tend to think that, if the market has been up for the last week, the last month, or the last year, it can be expected to be up again tomorrow. This makes them prime pickings for governments who may choose to falsely inflate a given market, creating an upside spike to encourage investors to toss their last few coins into the pot, just before the bottom drops out.

In previous eras, it could take time for people to sell, and even in panic times, the bloodletting was not instantaneous. However, with the Internet, all that is necessary is a major sell-off by one entity—one that goes through the stops of a large number of investors, and in a flash, the market goes though the floor. (Editor’s note: Stops are orders placed with a broker to sell a security when it reaches a certain price.) The average investor wakes in the morning to find that he has been wiped out.

Commitments by Governments

Should there be a currency crash, as is expected in many countries, promises made by governments will be abandoned suddenly, as though they had never existed. Whilst millions of people will find themselves lost, unable to function without their entitlements, governments will evade their guilt through finger-pointing. [In the U.K.] the Tories will blame Labour & Labour will blame the Tories; [in Canada the Conservatives will blame the Liberals and vice versa and in the U.S. it will be the Republicans vs. the Democrats]…The net result will be the disappearance of entitlements, either in part or in total. The public will take out its anger through increased hatred of whichever party it is that they already consider to be the evil one. They will fail to understand that collapse was unavoidable.

Assumed National Strengths Will Vanish

International alliances will fall away. Former allies will suddenly not be at the side of the failing nation. Former friends will sign alliances with the other side. Trade agreements will suddenly cease. Wealth, initiative, and favour will flow to the new foremost country and its allies…all happening incrementally—not by any means on the same day—but in each case, the actual occurrence will be sudden.

Just as Julius Caesar was at his peak of power when his fellow members of the Senate drew their knives, a powerful nation is coddled right until the time of its fall. In this regard, the U.S. will see the greatest abandonment of loyalties that any nation will experience. (The greater the empire, the greater the pretense of loyalty to it, and the greater the abandonment when the fall comes.)

Scroll to very bottom of page & add your comments on this article. We want to share what you have to say!

When an empire collapses, it dies slowly. Unless it comes to an end through conquest, it deteriorates in a series of sudden jolts. Its leaders grasp at anything that might cause a delay, even if this means a worse outcome in the end. The process may take years and even decades. However, it is in the first few years that the major events occur—the events that create the most significant damage. This occurs for two reasons:

  1. the leaders of the country, believing in their own power, believe that they can maintain control of their trade, their overseas control, their military, etc. and find that, when the crashes come, the rats desert the ship in every area and
  2. any empire builds its strength upon lies and exaggeration as much as it builds on its true attributes. After a crash, these lies and exaggerations fall away, and in a short time, it becomes clear that the empire was, in its latter stages, a house of cards.

The warning signs are already taking place but are not heavily publicized. Even the US’s greatest ally, Britain, has quietly undertaken an agreement with China regarding the yuan as the currency for future trade.

The stage is set, and we are approaching the first major events. The victims in this play are, unfortunately, the average people, who simply hope to have a decent life. They will be caught unawares and unable to even understand what has occurred, let alone take action to save themselves. Those who have not spent the previous years educating themselves and preparing an alternative life will suffer most greatly…

  1. I think especially for the very young and their children (think todays great grandkids) life in the USA will be far different than the future that most of us can imagine today, since the USA will be like a Third World Country, unless you are Wealthy. Imagine Great Britain not so long ago, when the landed Wealthy ran their Country and most British citizens were beholding to them for not only their jobs but even the roofs over their heads!

    Because the Ultra Wealthy now own more of the USA than ever before in our History, we can easily imagine a world where they and their chosen Political Leaders run our Country! One only needs to see the political influence that the Kock Brothers and the Walton Family are now wielding to get a glimpse of our future! Since GW Bush packed the SCOTUS Big Corp.’s and their Shareholders will continue to feed off of all the low hanging “fruit of our labors” while the middle class that is doing all the laboring becomes ever more like those that are poor. If the international trade agreements pass, then this process will accelerate and lead to political strife in the USA that will make what is now going on in many other parts of the World look tame because Americans not only own guns, but many are now highly trained combat veterans…
