From: "troy_space@hotmail.com"Dear friends
Now we can see much of what I & others warned about for some great length of time coming to pass economically.
This is completely engineered, just like the 1929 crash that started the Great Depression. Immediately below please find a brief summary of how the 1929 crash was caused written by Eric Jon Phelps, author of the essential true history book (as opposed to all the Establishment propaganda pieces & the works that all base themselves around these). Below that is a BBC article telling some useful info about 1929 mixed in with the usual flannel about it being an accident- that was complete rubbish.

Lessons from the 1929 stock market crash
By Steve Schifferes |
WHAT HAPPENED?
In October 1929 shares on Wall Street fell sharply following a speculative boom during the "Roaring Twenties".
In two days the Dow Jones industrial average fell by 25% (ending on Black Tuesday, 29 October).
The volume of stocks traded set a record that was not broken for 40 years.
When it finally reached its record low in July 1932, the Dow Jones had fallen 89%, and it did not recover to 1929 levels until 1954.
WHAT WAS THE CAUSE?
Debates continue over the causes of the Wall Street crash.
With stocks rising four-fold over the previous decade, it had all the characteristics of a bubble, with stocks in new technologies like radio leading the way up.
Speculation among stocks was intense in 1929 |
With lax regulation and few rules on insider trading, dealers were also able to "ramp up" shares, and holding companies built up positions in other companies without putting up any equity of their own.
Individuals were also able to buy stocks on "margin" by borrowing the money against their other share holdings.
Finally, political considerations - including Congress passing a highly protectionist tariff bill - also spooked the market.
The central bank, the
WHAT WAS THE IMPACT?
The Wall Street crash corresponded to a sharp decline in

In addition, the
With no unemployment benefits or government help, the sharp fall in workers' income had a big effect on consumption and lead to a negative spiral of more factory closures.
Most observers believe that economic policy-makers made the economic downturn worse by adopting tight money policy and balanced budgets as the crisis worsened.
International trade also shrank as the
WHAT SOLUTIONS WERE TRIED?
Initially the authorities tried to rebuild confidence in markets by making reassuring speeches, with President Herbert Hoover telling Americans that the
Only a shake-out of workers from industry would ultimately restore prosperity, it was argued.
The crash caused serious privation for millions |
Private charity was relied on to help the victims of the slowdown.
Everything changed after Franklin D Roosevelt was elected president in 1932, and the US government intervened to provide unemployment relief, to stabilise markets by restricting production, to encourage unions, and to create a government system of old age pensions and unemployment insurance known as social security.
However, the
HOW WAS THE SITUATION RESOLVED?
The Great Depression lingered on despite the variety of New Deal measures that attempted to alleviate the suffering of individuals by providing government jobs, welfare relief or mortgage protection.
It was only the onset of World War II, when the
At its peak, the
WHAT LESSONS ARE THERE FOR THE CURRENT CRISIS?
There are three main lessons which policy makers are applying to the current crisis.
The first is that financial markets, banks, and the real economy are interlinked, so that unresolved problems in one sector can spread to others.
The second is that active and rapid government intervention to ease pressures on the economy is essential during times of real economic crisis. The slow and probably wrong-headed response of the
Thirdly, there is the danger of a policy vacuum during the inter-regnum. In 1933 the
That may explain why both candidates endorsed the Bush administration's rescue plan despite some misgivings.
See that above we read the usual nonsense of why both candidates agree with Bush. No, the real reason is that they are controlled puppets subserviant ultimately to the Pope in
