"Somebody Will Do Something Stupid"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Jim Quinn via The Burning Platform blog,

Is it just me, or does it seem like we are moving inexorably towards a global confrontation?

China claims some islands in the South China Sea and we attempt to provoke a military response by sending a US warship within 12 miles of the disputed islands.

 

We accuse both China and Russia of cyber terrorism on regular basis, even though we released the Stuxnet virus into the Iranian nuclear facilities and have used mass surveillance against people around the world, including allied leaders.

 

We created ISIS as part of our grand strategy that included turning Iraq and Libya into lawless countries racked by civil war strife and religious zealotry.

 

We created the Syrian refugee crisis by funding militants against Assad because Saudi Arabia and Qatar want to build a natural gas pipeline through Syria to Europe.

We led the overthrow of a democratically elected, Russian friendly, government in the Ukraine, and have continuously provoked Russia in their own backyard.

 

We have covered up the true culprit in shooting down of the Malaysian airliner over the Ukraine.

 

We have colluded with Saudi Arabia to drive the price of oil down in an attempt to destroy the economies of Iran, Argentina and Russia. Putin has now called our bluff and entered Syria in full force, bombing the shit out of ISIS and proving the US had no intention of defeating these terrorists, because our military industrial complex depends upon having an enemy to fight. Now Obama is placing US troops in the line of fire between Russia, Syria, Turkey, Iran, and ISIS.

 

Europe was already bankrupt, using trillions in new debt to pay off the unpayable debt they already had. Now they are being overrun by Muslim hordes who will cause their societies to splinter and cause chaos, violence, and war.

 

Domestically, Obama has successfully splintered the country along the lines of race, religion, gun ownership, producers vs consumers, and wealth.

There are a multitude of fuses affixed to dozens of powderkegs and little kids with matches are on the loose.

I don’t know which of the fuses will be lit and which powderkeg will blow, but someone is bound to do something stupid, and then all hell will break loose.

 

It could happen at any time. One military miscue. One assassination. One violent act that stirs the world. And the dominoes will topple, setting off fireworks not seen on this planet since 1939 – 1945. I can see it all very clearly.

like it will be something accidental...or stupid. This is far far far too stupid to be stupidity.

So how many total possible black swans do we have?

 

1.  Millions of muslim migrants promised free shit in Europe slowly realizing they won't get anything

2.  U.S. troops acting as human shields in Syria to draw Russia into war

3.  "ISIS" bringing down civilian jetliner essentially an act of war by western intelligence services

4.  U.S. navy patrolling Spratly Islands in an attempt to draw China into war

5.  Middle class discretionary income evaporating as Obamacare costs skyrocket

6.  Stock market essentially universally agreed to be in largest bubble in history

7.  Worldwide housing prices skyrocketing, real estate now essentially place to park money

8.  Millions not repaying student loans, also now one of the largest bubbles in history

9.  Fed essentially checkmated with rate increases being impossible

 

I'm sure everything will be 100% fine.

And people ask me why I buy gold!  As I have repeatedly said, gold is a financial insurance policy.  Although gold and silver are currently range-bound and the prices are manipulated, all it would take is for one of those fuses to get lit and we could wake up with a $100-$200 overnight increase.  Same with oil, I think one morning the oil shorts will wake up with a series of limit up moves that could wipe out fortunes.

You are EXACTLY correct.

You buy fire insuarance for your house NOT in the hope that it will burn down but in the unfortunate event that it does.

 

Gold is exactly the same.

No, "Stupid" is what we do and have done up to Now.

Now it is time to change; evolve; move on, ie from "Stupid" towards Reason and maybe "truth" (I said maybe)

No, as the next move will be in line with reality, and not "stupid", and this will be the game changer.

As the man saidL "Fiat Lux".

Beyond insane, they bet it all on a new version of MAD. We know, or rather our military leaders must surely know, I hope, that very many of our systems are not proof against various attacks.

We live in a world of unknown unknowns in un-knowable numbers, it not being possible to count unknowns. The navy had a whole boat go dark last year. Wonder how often that happens for reasons un-related to Russian aircraft flying overhead?

So basically, we will know we are under attack when things fail. Fortunately, that can never be mis-interpreted, we are all safe under their professional protection.

Again we have peacetime generals being confident about things including a new war. How has this worked out in history?

People find articles like this instructive, or prophetic?

Hell, it was the ONLY endgame once we allowed teh US Troika (US Govt + US TBTF WS Banksters adn their wholly-owned US FedRes + US MIC) to run things in the US for the sole purpose of perpetuating teh wealth transfer to the 0.001%.

The history books are littered with example after example of what the US is and will be experiencing henceforth.  WW3 is the only resolution to Debts that can not be repaid or innocents the world over will not force those guilty and who stole same to repay.

Get ready....

I don't think so.

This time the US will not find any (strong enough) nation they can provoke into starting a large scale war. Even with severe false flags.
They would need to start it themselves - and so far I don't see that happening in the near, foreseeable future (2-3 years.)
Maybe later.

There is no concern with China as of now. There seem to be two (three) real concerns:

1. Israel (and their stupid arrogant sidekick Saudi Arabia, with a combined royal intelligence of 83). Israel is manipulating everything in the Middle East through proxies and probably shot down the Russian jet.

2. The US government which has declared a cold war against the current American people.... hopefully not to go hot. Thw US government does not represent the US people. It represents something else that does not care to understand us, the real us ... not those in government.

(3.) the power behind Israel, the banks and the US government... what ever that is. This is the real concern... but it is hard to identify and may be too powerful to ever confront directly.

Notice how Israel and Mossad, allied with the CIA and MI6 have turned both Europe and the Middle East into collapsing war zones? The goal here was always to destory all states in Israel's region, allowing Zionsim, backed by US money, to be the super power, and to grow greater Israel. Meanwhile, the USA has unleashed muslim hordes on Europe from all the failed states the US created. Just as the fool in Ukraine gleefully press for war on Russia, another CIA generated conflict.

Death and collapse everywhere, while the USA and Israel sit aside and watch the world fucking burn. When in fact, they generated most of it in a carefully executed strategy cooked up in Langley.

When war starts EU will be tied up with refugees... probably fighting them.

US should fight among itself... hopefully it will self destruct 

Middle east is just about at total war now.. 

 

When war starts it will be total chaos in most places... there are a few safe places.

People have been doing stupid and playing brinkmanship with the bomb for a very long time. Somehow the world is still here. That can always change I guess but given that I've been expecting the end to come off and on for about forty years at least and others older have been expecting doomsday even longer but doomsday so far doesn't seem to ever arrive, I now am less certain doomsday ever will. Maybe humans aren't stupid enough to blow up the planet.

If you haven't moved out of a large city center or started a garden, or both, get cracking! Time is short friends. Fall and winter is a great time to be planning gardens, making compost, winter veg if you're situated southish enough.

During the first great depression those that were in the country did ok. They didn't have much money but they had food. The same was true in Wiemar Germany.

I live in Shenandoah, TX. Some of them are probably hiding just down the street from me in Hughes Landing ..

 

It could happen at any time.

 

Believe me, it will ..

 

Despite all the RKM Traitors and corrupt that now infest the Pentagon, there is a new faction of insiders who are gaining power by the day and have actually checkmated this evil RKM system inside the Pentagon. Stay tuned because this is likely to become quite interesting in the days and weeks to follow as true American begin to take their nation back from the RKM.
