According to one of the top minds in the U.S. Intelligence Community, that is when the United States will enter the darkest economic period in our nation's history.

A 25-year Great Depression. community united enter darkest economic period nations history 25-year depression http://pro.moneymappress.com/MMRBSSH39/PMMRQ910/?iris=255564&...

Does This Signal
the *** of the Dollar?
An alarming pattern has caused many in the Intelligence Community to secretly prepare for a "worst-case scenario."
Click here to see it....
And alarmingly, he and his colleagues believe the evidence they've uncovered proves this outcome is impossible to avoid.

In an exclusive interview with Money Morning, Jim Rickards, the CIA's Financial Threat and Asymmetric Warfare Advisor, has stepped forward to warn the American people that time is running out to prepare for this $100 trillion meltdown.

"Everybody knows we have a dangerous level of debt. Everybody knows the Fed has recklessly printed trillions of dollars. These are secrets to no one," he said.

"But all signs are now flashing bright red that our chickens are about to come home to roost."

During the discussion, Rickards shared a series of dangerous signals he fears reveals an economy that has reached a super critical state.

One of the signals the CIA is most concerned with is the Misery Index.

Decades back this unique warning sign was created for determining how close our country was to a social collapse. It simply adds the true inflation rate with the true unemployment rate.

However, the Federal Reserve has repeatedly changed the way the Misery Index has been calculated over the years. Which Rickards believes is now being used to cover up the true scope of the problem. http://pro.moneymappress.com/MMRBSSH39/PMMRQ910/?iris=255564&...
"Today you rarely hear the government talk about the Misery Index with the public," Rickards said. "The reason is they may not want you to know the truth. And the truth is, the Misery Index has reached more dangerous levels than we saw prior to the Great Depression. This is a signal of a complex system that's about to collapse."

In theory, yes... The crash came in 11929, the worst year of the Depression was 1938... by 1943, the American economy had, however, turned round because of the war... There were three major phases to the New Deal - none of them, in fact, had much impact on the fundamental economic outlook. It is much the same story with the recession of 1870... because, integral to the Kondratiev Cycle is that the bottom of the wave is habitually, but not obligatorily, mitigated by the economic circumstances of war, which serve as an artificial stimulus to economic growth. The depression of the 1870s-1880s was, in fact, of longer duration and was more severe - more resembling our present circumstances than the Great Depression - because there was no war. Now, two wars tend to intervene - one at the top of the wave, one at the bottom and are, roughly, 20 to 25 years apart, and, significantly, their economic significance is in the innovation of some new form of communications - which speed up both international and internal and domestic infrastructures - which manifest in physical as well as notional displacement.

In theory, yes... The crash came in 11929, the worst year of the Depression was 1938... by 1943, the American economy had, however, turned round because of the war...

Now, two wars tend to intervene - one at the top of the wave, one at the bottom and are, roughly, 20 to 25 years apart, and, significantly, their economic significance is in the innovation of some new form of communications - which speed up both international and internal and domestic infrastructures - which manifest in physical as well as notional displacement. (Look at the progressive introduction of: the internet, the jet engine, flight, the internal combustion engine, the telephone, the telegraph, the railways, the canals - in a systematic generational introduction going back to the introduction of the printing press - which, in itself, ushers in the Reformation, the process that removes the Church as the centre of economic performance and gives birth to capitalism and market forces...)

On top of Kondratiev's 60-year boom-bust-war cycle and its attendant leaps in technological communications advances, there is the additional - and for us, pivotal - centennial cycle which, crucially, does not fall on the calendar date of the start of a new century, but revolves around the events of the first five years of the second decade of a century. It is a pattern worth noting: the Great War commencing in 1914 and which lays the conditions at its *** in the Treaty of Versailles for the next one hundred years to date... preceded by the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 and the ensuing Conference of Vienna, which did likewise, giving birth the conditions which produced the Great War... This, too, is a cycle that goes back well beyond the Reformation - although it seems that Martin Luther, nailing his 95-Theses to of the Castle Church of Wittenberg was a little late on his marks, although Erasmus's Greek New Testament was printed in 1514 - so much so that it was a pattern already well established and noteworthy to Enguerrand de Marigny, the French chamberlain and minister of Philip IV the Fair of France in 1315, upon Philip's dissolution of the Sovereign Order of the Knights Templar in 1314, which confiscated their wealth as effective financiers of Christendom and changed forever the economic infrastructure of the entirety of post-Crusade Europe.

We thus fall, with seemingly inerrant precision, into both cycles... a world, economically, requiring the stimulus of a new means of communication following the 25-year establishment of the internet... in a cyclical depression... and in conjunction with the final breakdown of the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, which, notably, is not affecting Europe so much as those countries in the Middle East which were created by it out of the remains of the Ottoman Empire. And it is the decisions being made today which will determine whether war will be local or global... The answer to that last conundrum is that outside the cyclical pattern established in Christendom-Europe - of which the USA and the Anglosphere are but historical adjuncts - there is also the established pattern of the roughly 300-yearly cycle of Islamic recrudescence, last seen in the so-called Second Jihad of the late 17th century and its arrest at the Gates of Vienna in 1683 and which, since 1918 has slowly over the last century gradually gained dynamism to become the Third Jihad.

The answer to your question seems, thus, on historical inevitability, to be, Yes, unless some very wise decisions are made in the next year, we are on the cusp of a global conflict which will be a veritable clash of civilizations not seen since, perhaps, the armies of Mohammed's Caliphate stormed out of the Arabian Peninsula in the mid-7th century.

Indeed. A little like Gordon Brown, Britain's long-standing Labour Chancellor and somewhat shorter-sitting Prime Minister who declared with stentorious noblesse oblige that he would "*** boom and bust for good". And look what happened to him.

The recession is already worse than the Great Depression and equals in ferocity the now-forgotten recession of the 1870s/80s which was in fact worse.

We are indeed on a very slippery slope, however, and one of the key indicators for this is the Kondratieff Cycle - or the Long Wave Cycle of economic downturn, which represents a 60 wave of boom to bust and which repeats at regular intervals, marked at its start and finish by armed conflicts. On top of this cycle, is the phenomenon of the first five years of the second decade of a new century being the key moment when the confluence of world and economic events turn to produce the outcome of the next, unfolding century. Thus, we have the decisions taken which lead up to 1914 and the outbreak of the Great War and ensuing Versailles Treaty. A century before, we have the Napoleonic Wars ****** at Waterloo in 1815, and the Council of Vienna that decides the "new Europe" after the French Empire. The same pattern goes back with startling regularity and was even noted in 1315 by Enguerrand de Marigny, Chamberlain and Treasurer to Philip IV the Fair of France.

Fiscally speaking, the worst year of the Great Depression was 1938 and America's economy did not begin properly to leave the effects of the Depression until the great manufacturing output of the Second World War put the economy once again on a sound footing , leading to the boom years of the 1950s. It looks as if war may well manage to do the same again, although the levels of government debt are excruciatingly high and higher than in 1940.
