Bernanke will cut a “key” rate this week. Afterwards, dollar doom is a lock.

You’ll note how sometimes a politician will be quoted in a story saying that we are the victims of economic terrorism. Terrorists are waging economic war on us.

Notice how readily the concept of the external threat arises and is reinforced.

When in power, facing disaster, and with a microphone in front of you, always blame some distant enigmatic shapeless enemy that can be defeated only if your children shave their scalps, don uniforms, take up guns, become killers, and get shipped over the horizon to enact wholesale slaughter.

Referring to this recent series of economic “disasters” as a “financial 9/11” ironically works, though. You’ll remember that the joint SEC-FBI investigation into Enron, which stole more than $70B in Cali taxpayer dough, was headquartered in World Trade Center Building Seven, which on 9/11 was not hit by a plane, had small fires on only a handful of floors, and fell symmetrically and inward into its own footprint at freefall speed after, PBS reveals, landlord Silverstein gave the order to “pull it” and, firefighters and eyewitnesses say, a countdown was completed. The BBC, apparently reading from a press release faxed out too early, reported that the building had collapsed due to fire alone before the building actually did collapse.

You'll also recall that in his 2000 campaign for POTUS, Bush (43) toured the country in Ken Lay's private jet.

Yes, that's exactly what it is: a financial 9/11. Experiencing some dread over this, Truth Movement activist Michael is thinking about leaving the country before any more shoes drop. He tells me of an Australian farm, complete with homegrown ganja and nearby tubular surf spots, awaiting us if he can just get his passport and if we aren’t on any No-Fly lists. Apparently by researching 9/11 one becomes a threat to national security -- so much of a threat they won’t let you leave.
