The following Youtube informational video presents the historic cycle of money in a rather concise fashion:

By all indications, I would have to agree with his assessment of what stage we are in.  I have been writing independently of this for some time.

What is a Black Swan event?

• It is an unexpected surprising event that had no mainstream prediction or coverage leading up to the event.
• It has a major effect on much of the population.
• After the event, we all saw that it could happen and rationalize why we didn’t account for it.  there was plenty of data available to foresee it, but we failed to account for the possibility of it occurring.  We failed to think outside the proverbial box.  We didn’t look at it from Our Heavenly  Father’s perspective.

At this website we have covered several potential black swan events to watch for.

Social breakdown: 23%+ unemployment in several countries could trigger a breakdown of public order.  Check out the Executive Orders in place for such an event.

War: Kim Jong-un of North Korea, Iran, Syria/Israel, etc.

Financial system collapse:   Can an $80 trillion world economy sustain banks who hold derivative positions worth about $1.6 quadrillion (1,600 trillion)?  What happens if we have another meltdown similar to 2008 but of a greater magnitude?

A major bank bail-in: The potential solution lawmakers are now considering is similar to the one just imposed in Cyprus: a raid on the bank accounts of ordinary citizens.  Bank runs would ensue.

China no longer funds U.S. Treasury Bonds: China holds over $1.2 trillion in US Treasury securities, more than any other country.  If China were to dump their holdings, interest rates would jump and the dollar would drop like a rock.

Hyperinflation:   The current massive printing of money by central banks around the world can evoke this reality in a very sudden fashion.

Comex delivery of gold failure: If the Comex financial exchange were to fail to make good on delivery of gold, the price would go wild.  The confidence in the paper futures market would go to zero and the demand for physical gold would skyrocket.

Bond Market Bubble bursts:  If the bond vigilantes were to suddenly realize the game is over and demand higher interest rates, the bond market would sustain epic losses.  In turn, pension funds, insurance companies, and other large holders of bonds might become insolvent.  The average man on the street would lose a notable portion of his retirement.

Don’t shoot the messenger.  I don’t like being a purveyor of bad news but if Mystery Babylon is going to fall, and its fall is great, we must be aware of the possible triggers.  We are not to be caught unaware of the “Black Swan”.

The lower hook is a major tornado in southern Oklahoma County at 3 PM today.  It is currently on the same track as the “May 3rd, 1999, tornado which clocked 318 miles per hour wind”.  The May 3rd tornado’s remarkable wind speed (at the high extreme of the Fujita Scale’s F5) led to much speculation that the scale would be modified to include an F6 category, due to the winds possibly exceeding 318 mph.

Our family was spared.  The tornado’s path was south of us, about 17 miles:

  You can see the little blue & white icon where the tornado is at.

The devastation is now epic!

Relationships are what it’s all about!

SWIFT is the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, a member-owned cooperative through which the financial world conducts its business operations with speed, certainty and confidence. More than 9,000 banking organizations, securities institutions and corporate customers in 209 countries trust us every day to exchange millions of standardized financial messages.  This system is integral to the global flow of funds and the U.S. and EU have decided to use is as a tool of war against those trading with Iran: http://www.swift.com/news/press_releases/SWIFT_disconnect_Iranian_banks

How would you like to be threatened by having your bank account and credit cards frozen?  This is effectively the same act against a country.  How would you survive?  You would have to be paid in cash or agree to trade work for food, etc.  When this happens to countries, they form a bilateral trade agreement to exchange their currencies at an agreeable rate of exchange directly.  This has the effect  of removing the U.S. Dollar as the world currency.  As that happens, the demand for U.S. Dollars will diminish and the market for U.S. debt will begin to dry up unless the interest rates rise.  As that occurs, the U.S. deficit will worsen.  It does not look good.

What are these guys thinking?
