Economist: Unstoppable economic collapse is imminent

It’s the end of the world as we know it…and Glenn finally isn’t the only one saying it! Raoul Paul, who previously co-managed the GLG Global Macro Fund and is a Goldman Sachs alum, has a pretty bleak prediction for what is coming to Europe and the rest of the world. What does he think is coming? The worst economic shock the world has ever seen and, even worse, there’s nothing we can do to stop it!

See the Pal’s presentation HERE

“The world has no engine of growth with most of the G-20 countries approaching stall speed at the same time. Now, what is that? G-20, that’s the 20 biggest countries in the world. Approaching stall speed. We have no engine of growth. Ask yourself this question: What is the engine of growth in the United States? Currently it is being set up that the engine of growth is the stimulus package, is the United States government. Is that real growth? I contend　- and you know the answer　- no,” Glenn explained.

“The western world is about to enter a second recession in an ongoing depression. For the first time since the 1930′s, we’re entering a recession. Before industrial production, durable goods orders, employment, and private sector GDP have made back their previous highs. Hear that again. For the first time since the 1930′s before we’ve made if back up on our feet. Usually we have a recession, it starts to grow again, and then we come back down. This is　– this is a new trend.”

“Fact: This will to be the lowest cyclical peak in GDP growth in G-7 history. These are the weakest ever foundations on which to enter a recession.”

“The problem is down to one thing: Debt.”

“This is significant. The 10 largest debtor nations on earth have total debts of over 300% of world GDP. History tells us that when sovereign defaults occur, what does that mean? Sovereign defaults? Sovereign default, if a sovereign default occurs, that means Greece goes out of business, Spain goes out of business, Portugal goes out of business. The Euro is a bubble. It will crash,” Glenn said.

“History tells us when sovereign defaults occur, they come in a series of defaults. We need to understand history in order to grasp the present. The domino effect. In history when you have a default, one falls into the other and the other and the other. So, he says, what is coming? EU sovereign debt defaults. UK sovereign default. Japan sovereign default. South Korea, sovereign default. China, sovereign default.”

“So, he says all of these will default and the biggest banking crisis in world history. Then he’s got a few of the charts saying the end of finance, the end of Europe, the end of world trade. Then he has a picture of a hurricane and the eye of the hurricane. He says, We are here. We don’t know exactly what is to come, but we can all join the very few dots from where we are now to the collapse of the first major bank, with very limited room for government bailouts.Why is that? Do you remember when we spoke two　– four years ago now, maybe almost close to five, we said that there would come a time that these bailouts wouldn’t work, that they would throw money at the system, and then I said, When they do this and it doesn’t change any of the factors, they have to immediately shut the faucets off and go the other way. Otherwise, they’ll continue to print too much money, they’ll digitize too much money. They’ll flood the market with too much money and the engine will stall because you flooded it or you will have a rocket ship on your hands and you will have hyperinflation and you’ll have out of control interest rates eventually. With very limited room for government bailouts, meaning we’ve got nothing less　– nothing left now. There’s no bullets in the gun except meaningless printed. We can easily join the next dots from the first bank closure to the collapse of the whole European banking system and then to bankruptcy of the governments themselves. There are almost no breaks in the system to stop this and almost no one realizes the seriousness of this situation.”

“The problem is not government debt, per se. Listen carefully. The real problem is The 70 trillion in G-10 debt, the top 10 governments around the world, The 70 trillion is the collateral for $700　trillion in derivatives. That number equates to 1200% of global GDP and rests on very, very weak foundations.”

“Imagine the UK defaulting. What do you think would happen to Japan and China? Would they not be next? And do you think that the U.S. would survive unscathed? This is the end of the fractional reserve banking system and of fiat money. It is the big reset. This is what we’ve been talking about for quite some time. The big reset. This is what George Soros has wanted, the big reset.”

“When the system has to be rebooted, who are the players that are designing that? This is why when people say to you, George Soros, why would anybody want this to happen? Because if you know the reset is coming, anyway, if you know it’s unsustainable, then you want to be the one to design what the future looks like.”

Glenn continued to read, “From a timing perspective, I think 2012 and 2013 will usher in the end. You have to understand that the global banking collapse and massive defaults would bring about the biggest economic shock the world has ever seen. There would be no trade finance, no shipping finance, no finance for farmers, no leasing, no bond market, no nothing. The markets are, frankly, at a terrifying point of realizing that there is nothing they can do including quantitative easing to prevent this collapse. The next phase, as Spain and Italy go, will be to see nationalization of banks　– the nationalization of banks and the assumption of bank debts on government balance sheets. This is what we talked to you about on Friday. We have Tim knee Geithner coming out and saying, The governments have to take this debt on. Then expect to be shut out of financial markets. Bonds will be stuck at 1% in the U.S., Germany, and UK, and Japan for this phase. The whole bond market will be dead. That means nobody wants to invest in companies. Short selling on bonds will be banned. Short selling stocks will be banned. CBS, banned. Short futures, banned. Put options, banned. All that will be left will be the dollar and gold. As defaults in governments and banks come to fruition, we risk a closure of the stock market entirely and a closure of the banking system as occurred in Argentina in 2001, Russia in 1998, and Brazil in 1999. We have around six months of trading in western markets to protect ourselves or make enough money to offset future losses. Spend your time looking at the risks of custody safekeeping, counterparty, et cetera. Assume that no one and nothing is safe. After that put your tin helmet on and hide until the new system emerges. I wish I could see another option with an equally high probability, but I can’t find one. All we can do is hope that I’m wrong, but either way, a new system will emerge and it will open up a whole new set of opportunities, but we are going back 40 years in time and 1500 to 3000 years in trading.”

“This, again, from not a schlub. This again coming on the heels of what George Soros said this weekend. George Soros said that he felt the EU had three months. They’re saying the same thing.”

“Now, the question is: What do you do about it? What does this all mean? That’s what this whole week is about on the Glenn Beck Program and GBTV. Four steps. And I want you to seriously consider them with your family. I want you to seriously consider actually getting involved more than you already are,” Glenn said. “I promise you by the end of the week that you will see that there is a way out and all you have to do is not panic. The first step is to commit, not to tune out because you can’t handle it. You can, you will, and you’ll lead the way out.”

    So now we will see when it finally happens, which I expect to be just around the Nov elections so that Obama has another excuse to seize the nation via martial law and establish his dictatorship. His insanity has endangered this nation and now we will wind up reaping the harvest and the whirlwind he has sewn.

    Soros says 3 months; this man says about six months. I personally see it having potential to occur much faster; and a possibility of China being the first to crack once Greece or Spain goes into reset.

    God help us now; for with Obama at the helm, the nightmare has only begun for all of us.

    It is all part of the plan for one world govt. and one single currency.  The turmoil in the EU now is being stoked to get Germany to foot the bill for the PIGS.  Germany is in fairly good shape if they left the Euro, but the plan is to get everyone into debt so nobody can be a holdout.

    Obama is playing his part, this is done for the reboot by the elites of the world. One of my friends in the military told me 2 days ago that the government is planning on cutting the military by 180,000. He has been in the military for almost 20 years and knows what he is talking about. This would bring on the draft if we were to enter into war. The pieces of this sick puzzle are coming together & controlled by the elite. Watch the Middle East & what war breaks out very soon, this plays a huge part in martial law before the election. 

    That’s why in another post I said that people MUST take control of their money. Invest in people, invest in what will be needed, food, water, land. Letting it sit in a 401k is not the thing to do right now, the elites will start investing in certain areas real soon, that’s when the bottom drops out. Gold will sink, which is why it’s high right now. The elite will sell off the gold soon and those who purchased recently will lose a fortune.

    The people are what can change this whole situation, take over what is going to collapse. Big companies with bad leadership will fall, big banks will fall all over the world only to be reintroduced as smaller banks. Companies with strong leadership that have been around for years will still be here, P&G, Coca Cola, etc. They will not close their doors and are recession proof, they will adapt & become humble to save the business.

    The elites are playing the fear card, you control your life, you make things happen. They simply think that you can be controlled by their wealth, take control of your money! I have to put the next paragraph in because it hits the nail on the head right now.

     There were multiple causes for the first downturn
    in 1929. These include the structural weaknesses and specific events that
    turned it into a major depression and the manner in which the downturn spread
    from country to country. In relation to the 1929 downturn, historians emphasize
    structural factors like major bank failures and the stock market crash. In
    contrast, monetarist economists (such as Barry
    Eichengreen, Milton Friedman and Peter Temin)
    point to monetary factors such as actions by the US Federal
    Reserve that contracted the money supply, as well as Britain’s decision to
    return to the Gold Standard at pre–World War I parities

    I wish someone would listen…I have agreed with Glenn for 2 years now.

  • http://www.artinphoenix.com/gallery/grimm snowleopard (cat folk gallery)

    When war does come to the middle east I imagine it will start with Syria or Egypt in combination with one or more nations striking hard for Israel. It will be when, not if, Iran and possibly Iraq join in the action that a local war will become a regional one, then possibly a world war.

    I give the current chain of events a month at most to come unglued and all hades will break loose beyond anything we can imagine.

    I can see a deep global recession from an EU collapse (and full blown depression in Europe) but I don’t see the US or the Asian nations defaulting in a chain because everyone bailing out of Europe would be investing their money in other things like US treasuries. 

    They key thing will be the Greek elections. If they vote in people in a month or so that are against austerity being a condition for bailouts, things will rapidly deteriorate.

    I too have agreed with Glen for several years now. I’ve heeded his warnings. I am a prepper and not ashamed to admit it.As a nation, we have lost our spiritual equilibrium, we have become complacent and apathetic. We care more about reality tv than the reality that God and only God can help us. Self-reliance, how many times have you heard Glen say that word? I’ve grown up over that last couple of years, what I thought was once important no longer is, and the things I took for granted are now important, God, family, health, and the truth. I can look at myself in the mirror and I know in my heart that I’m ok and God is on my side. Good luck and God Bless all of you.

    If Obama could only have thought about his own country instead of siding with those who hate us!  If only Obama has really been a true American which he never was or will be.  If only Obama had realized he was wrong (but maybe he doesn’t care if we are in big trouble and maybe, just maybe, it’s what he really wanted anyway!  So many only ifs.  Last of all, if only so many people had been thinking for themselves instead of into some form of idol warship of the worst human being ever to be in charge of our country.

    The entire modern finance system is based on debt and compounding interest. Compounding interest sounds great when you’re earning it on an investment but not so great when you’re paying it on a credit card, mortgage, and especially not when it is on government debt. Simply put, the system is like a monster that feeds on debt, grows and needs more debt to keep feeding. Problem is that it can’t go on forever. Eventually the system can’t take the strain and collapses. That’s where we are now.

    I’m not sure if we can go back to the gold standard, but one thing is certain: we need to get rid of central banks. Let the treasury alone create the money supply and let individual banks set interest rates to attract customers and either eliminate the fractional reserve system or set it at a very low rate to control the ability of banks to generate money out of thin air by accounting gimmicks. A fixed flat tax (one that can be increased in time of war or major natural disaster) would also help.

    I’ts not important that I agree with Glenn or not, what has importance is that he’s more often right than not.  Some economists have been saying as far back as the 1980′s there will be economic disaster within twenty years if certain things are not address and or changed.  We missed the first calimity when the Soviet Union fell, most arrogents think that the U.S. and Brittan to some extent was the reason… Bull, the Soviet supremes relalized it wasen’t working and decided instead of the system owning them they should own the system, so the socialist/marxist model was given the boot and good ole free market capatalism (with a twist) was created, it took some time to flech out whos who within the new system and now their ready to move forward.  China came to the same conclusion but has been able to do it with destroying their government.   Europe will soon do the same thing, the euro- common market is soon to be gone as is the social democratic governments in Europe, Some governments will fall in the process, the U.S. should survive as will China, Russia and most of Asia, the resulting Europe will depend on the big three. It will happen, won’t be pretty but it will happen.

    If this happens like Beck predicts, there will be a state of lawlessness like no other in the history of the world. I believe parts of the story, it’s obvious, but panic will only increase the problems we all face. Panic is what started the last depression and no one wants that. Hardly anyone in America is prepared financially or mentally for what is forecast. No sense worrying about it, regular folk can’t don’t anything to prevent it. The rich like Glenn Beck will survive without a hitch. All we can do is pray someone that cares and has the ability to rectify it does so. Time to use common sense.

     You are certainly right to worry about military cuts. The last century has been dominated by a pattern of the US winning a war, gutting its military, then another major war breaks out.The US then takes a real bloody nose and has to spent a fortune rebuilding its military and its industries as well as catching up with our enemies technologically and in numbers. Much more time and blood is wasted that keeping up a sizable military which may have caused the wars not to happen in the first place. After all, if an enemy sees a large and capable military with leadership willing to unleash it upon them, they will be less inclined to pick a fight. Its the old adage:

    To secure peace prepare for war, to ensure war disarm.

Lying and cheating and stealing and killing is a normal part of our society. God has been so patient with us. Even 9/11 was a warning. Our borders are no longer being protected by God. Please everyone, pray, repent, and change our national fate before it is too late for everyone!

    Old Rome called it “Bread and Circuses.” Look to the defeated nations of WW2 at the end in 1945; to a degree, when all was truly lost and the sole world they had known all their lives was at a dramatic end, as will soon happen to us, people become desperate and accepting anything to deny reality.

    Here is a book about the fall of Berlin in 45′ to the Russians that makes for some interesting reading on the matter:

    The Fall of Berlin, 1945, by Antony Beever.

    He goes into quite good detail of the final defeat and the normal people. Plus the propaganda that went on until the end with the russian occupation.

    I’m saying do all of the above.  Because with most land. particuliarly farm land, you can grow food and have place of refuge for family and friends, if you can trust them.  During times of starvation, people are desperate and desperate people do unpredictable things.

    If you have cash buy land, food, seeds, guns and ammo and then more ammo.  Band with people you can trust, because there is safety in numbers.  And besides you can’t stay awake 24/7.  Land will be more valuable than gold.  Gold can be stolen, but it would be hard to steal a plot of land and you can’t eat gold.  And if you try to buy food with gold, people will know about it and take your life if youi don’t give it up and may do that anyway. 

    The most valuable things will be land, food, guns and ammo.  Everything else won’t matter.

    What scares me the most is what Obama and Soros have planned to drop in Sept or October. The crisis in 2008 was just a dress rehearsal. The reduction of forces will create a power vacuum that will usher in a draft, where blacks and minorities will be spared and create a massive racial reallignment. This Obama is simply a puppet, but he will bring this country to our knees and, what is a pity is these liberals will blame it on someone else because Obama is their messiah. I hope these doomsday scenarios don’t come true, but the GOP has no clue and should be aligning to make sure he cannot unilaterally disarm, unilaterally cut the forces by 180k troops, and administratively issue amnesty.

    After having read “Aftershock” by Weiderman I am thoroughly convinced that the Cash Bubble is set to POP (2013) and what Glenn has said is aligned with what some accountants are reporting. It can be likened to a computer that has crashed, it has to be reset, or  thrown away and replaced. Down with the FEDS, Politicians, Foreign aid, entitlement programs, unfortunately SS, Medicare, Medicaid,(which the government has included as entitlements although we worked and paid dearly for these programs, unlike food stamps, free cell phones, etc. It pays to be a farmer.  At least he can feed his family and barter food for other necessities. We can overcome this, by starting at the bottom and pulling ourselves up again, and in a better, less government controlled nation. In our history we have managed to become a GREAT NATION on hard work and ingenuity and although it will be harder this time because we have grown soft and dependent most of us still have the desire and love for this country in which we live.

    Tera I agree with you and ChazMo.People need to look at restructuring  their way of living and do business. Most people do not want to give up their way of living and most of them don’t even know God let along how to pray. The government has seen to that by taking God out of our daily lives.

    I just read an article the MRC wrote about Soros.Glenn told us about all Soros was doing and planning years ago.As I read the article I kept thinking this is exactly what Glenn has been saying for years and no one else talked about it.I started watching Glenn when he was on CNN and I was glad when he went to Fox.I watched him everyday and was very dissappointed when Fox took him off the air.It was biggest mistake Fox ever made.

    I smell a reset but imo it will be a very very good thing for the mass of the World. The elite will get what they deserve and as far as Soros, I am not sure what to think of him? Why did he shut down his Hedge Fund, is he really after the best interest of the mass? I hope so!

    As we are fast approaching a very bad situation, it is best to limit your communications as to your preparations to close family and friends.  Whft?  Well it is because some people will remember you and your preparation and will relieve you of them and other precious things like your life or that of a loved one.  Remember New Orleans and Katrina?  We will need to spend a lot of time on our knees to obtain His help during this upcoming trying times.

    Do you realize what that entails?  Total write-off, I guess no more mortgage payments and you get to keep the property I assume.  If you have money in the banks well the banks would keep all of that because paying off CD’s and savings accounts is their debt.  Everything would go to zero I assume, but where would the money come from to lend?  Who would lend if they had it once debt would not have to be paid?  Nobody could be sure that it would not reset again.
    I could really see haircuts on bonds etc. but you will never see a total write off of debts.  Don’t believe me.  Can you see the govt. writing off debts people owe on taxes?

  • landofaahs

    Because it would be the only option available. A new world currency.  The EU model was flawed from the beginning and the people who set it up knew it.  They knew that it would lead to collapse if countries were allowed their own sovereignty to run up debts with a single currency used by everyone else.  But by letting the collapse happen would sooner or later force the descision making preocess away from the particular states and consolidated power at the Central govt. and away from the more local level.  Kind of like what is happening with the stripping of the states rights by The federal govt. using funding strings to manipulate the states policies.

    Shel, you have used a word with which way too many people are unfamiliar: hard work.

    You have the entitlement folks who have taken, but have done little in the way of giving.

    You have the OWS crowds and some of the young who, also, think things should be

    handed to them.  The only ones who may remember what hard work is could be their

    grandparents, and perhaps, their parents.  By no means do I mean there are no hard

    workers now—certainly there are.  But when things take a nosedive, everyone will have

    to pitch in and there are so many who have never done, let alone been acquainted with,

    hard work.   Some, unfortunately, will find it easier to steal or rob others rather than put

    in a day’s worth of work.  If they get tossed into jail, they will think they have hit the jack-

    pot—free food, clothing and a roof over their heads! Now, I find this depressing!

    To Chazmo
    It is America’s children I am concerned about.  Too many
    adults are too busy not thinking but playing with their toys
    and electronic gadgets that offer absolutely nothing to
    their intellectual capabilities.  They think that by buying
    their children today’s technical gadgets that they will earn
    their children’s love.  Or they have taught their children that
    stuff is more important than their self-esteem.  There is no
    responsibility left for these people. 
    How do you get through to people who do not want to listen
    to today’s foreboddings and waste money on things they
    don’t need.  I see it all around me. 
    I cannot affford all these new I-phones, I-pads, etc. nor do I
    want them.  Use of these toys is not life, it is a self-absorbed
    deteriation of peoples lives..  How do we get these people
    and their teenagers to listen.? To understand?
    What is coming down the pike will be more devastating than
    the great depression.  It is the crime that will come and this
    is what worries me the most.  I do not hear any government
    officials talking about having food, water, medicines stored
    so they can help all of America who survive this.  Where do we
    get the money?

    God is King of Kings and God does not favor Republics. The Bible is clearly opposed to our political system, but the founder worshiping has blurred our Christian conscience.

    It’s DEPLORABLE when good, Christian men hold up the Constitution as their moral compass in politics, and decide to leave the Bible out of the conversation because it’s not politically convenient!

    And it’s not like Jesus didn’t see a Republic before! Rome had came and gone, it had waged too many preemptive wars, stretched too far, had a central bank printing too much money, sound familiar?!?!

    And the final blow came from Jesus Himself, who said to pay tribute to the Emperor, not to restore the Republic. If Jesus thought Republics and public representation were a great idea, He had PLENTY of time to say so and certainly wouldn’t have said to pay tribute to a foreign dictator like that.

    But the King of Kings obviously prefers another form of government. It’s in one of His names for goodness sakes!

    Ps 2:1-6Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?2 The kings of the earth set themselves,and the rulers take counsel together,against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,3 “Let us burst their bonds apartand cast away their cords from us.”
    4 He who sits in the heavens laughs;the Lord holds them in derision.5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath,and terrify them in his fury, saying,6 “As for me, I have set my Kingon Zion, my holy hill.”
     I will tell of the decree:The Lord said to me, “You are my Son;today I have begotten you.8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,and the ends of the earth your possession.9 You shall break them with a rod of ironand dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
    10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise;be warned, O rulers of the earth.11  Serve the Lord with fear,and rejoice with trembling.12  Kiss the Son,lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

    I don’t worshipt the constitution, but it does give freedom to choose which is what God gives us. When Jesus weas on this earth, why did he not go to the Romans and chastise them for their Republic, if it is so evil. God brings up nations and takes them down for his purpose and his glory.
    There is nothing evil in a Republic where people have that freedom to choose. Rome was oppressing Israel amon others but Jesus knew that the things of the Spirit were the most important. When he returns he will put all things under his feet but until then we are to use our freedom to spread the gospel.

    I am one who feels obama knows exactly what he is doing and has from the beginning of his run for president. He has been too smooth and uncaring about the people who have raised questions. Indeed, he does not care what the people think. He just continues to run his agenda down the middle of the road and ignores everything else. Many say he doesn’t know what he is doing but there is no other explaination for what he is doing, all the quiet manuverings we find out about after the fact, we can’t object because he has already done it. After all look at his parents and teachers. I don’t think he is the brightest candle on the cake but he is certainly in the right position to make these changes and that is what he was prepped for. I remember Glenn’s very first warnings even before the election was over about this man and boy, was he right. He said be careful what you vote for because you might get it. Well, we sure got it!

    Snowleopard,

    I have been trolling Becks site frequently just to catch up on the news and hear the thoughts of others in regards to Becks daily postings and I have come to one conclusion. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY NUTS!!! I am curious what your life is like outside the Beck-O-Sphere. First lets start with your artwork. I am no art critic and I think that if you like to draw and paint then by all means go for it but you cat drawings in people clothes are some of the most twisted, laughable, deranged pieces of art, and I use that term loosely, I have ever encountered.  I mean  it would be okay if I saw your “art” separately from your rants on this site but to read your doom and gloom rants then look at your art page, it honestly makes me laugh. That brings me to my next point. You are always the first to post which strikes me as odd and slightly crazy but I understand if your a fan of the site but your post are literally the talk of a crazy person. You agree with Glenn to a T and then begin spouting off your own Apocalyptic rhetoric. You make the most asinine predictions about global economics. Now I think all of us on here can agree that the world is not in the best shape right now but your post are the ramblings of a mad man. And before you begin to refute my post let me stop you. I already know what you are going to say. “All those who mock my blah, blah, blah will suffer the wrath of God and this ship is headed off a cliff with a madman at the helm blah, blah, blah.” Man you need some serious Prozac. Truth be told, and both left and right economist agree, not a whole lot of drastic changes happen during an American presidency, even two terms believe it or not. So please take the rope, grab hold tight, and allow my to hoist you out of Glenn’s inner colon. Once your out please take a bath, all the junk food he eats must make a mess in there, and please for the love of God go seek counseling. God Bless.

    You need to get your facts straight. I suggest you get a book called “Sacred Fire”  by Peter A. Lillback   Another book you may want to read is “The Majesty of Gods Law: It’s Coming to America” by Cleon Skosen
    Then you may want to read Jefferson Lies by David Barton. Our founders were Christian they established a Judeo-Christian nation base on the government established by Moses. God supports and sustains this nation when we keep our covenants to him but he will allow us to destroy ourselves if we abandon him and his teachings. As long as a righteous people is found in this land they will be protected and delievered from bondage.
