Excerpt:

December 31, 2008

"We are facing an unprecedented emergency," [ Toyota ] President Katsuaki 
Watanabe told a year-end news conference. "This is a crisis unlike the crises 
of the past."  ~ Toyota sees "unprecedented" crisis by Chang-Ran Kim, 
Reuters, 12/22/08   

"When the bond market crashes [expected timing: 'any day now'], it’s going to 
be 15 on the Richter scale. It’s going to be enormous. It’s far more 
dangerous than the stock market crashing. When the bond market crashes, the 
hyperinflation starts." ~ Bob Moriarty of 321gold.com, interviewed by The 
Gold Report   

  

- Introduction -   

The tone and direction for the coming year seem clear enough: ominous, and 
downward. Down for living standards; down for levels of employment; down for 
world trade; down for investment portfolios and retirement funds; down for 
the prosperity and even the physical safety of the lower and middle classes 
in the United States and around the world.   

Levels of freedom are headed downward also, as the power elite worldwide use 
the time-honored method of responding to a crisis – any crisis – as a tool to 
increase their own power. From ancient Rome to Hitler's Germany , from the 
U.S. Civil War to modern Zimbabwe , from the Great Depression to the 
terrorist events of 9/11/2001 , crisis has worked so reliably as an excuse 
for power-grabs that one wonders why tyrants haven't thought of creating 
crises in order to increase and consolidate their power.
