Global Economic Collapse Of “Staggering Proportions” Imminent

An excerpt from an interesting bit written by Sorcha Faal who I rarely take seriously. But this piece has an odd and chilling ring of truth.

Grim economic warnings are being sounded from the United States today after one of their top market forecasters and social theorists named Robert Prechter advised everyone to abandon the stock markets over what he says will be one of the largest financial crashes (of “staggering proportions”) to occur in over 300 years rivaling the Great Depression, the Panic of 1873, and the collapse of the South Sea Bubble in 1720, a crash so catastrophic it deterred people “from buying stocks for 100 years.”

Important to note about Prechter’s dire warning is its being based upon what is called the Elliott Wave Principle developed by Ralph Nelson Elliott (1871-1948) that is a form of technical analysis that investors use to forecast trends in the financial markets by identifying extremes in investor psychology, highs and lows in prices, and other collective activities.

Elliott, in turn, had based his new principle on the findings of the great Russian evolutionary theorist Peter Kropotkin (1842-1921) who in his book titled “Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution” countered Charles Darwin’s (1809-1882) “survival of the fittest” evolutionary theory by concluding that cooperation and mutual aid are as important in the evolution of the species as competition and mutual strife, if not more so.

Elliott was also greatly influenced by Kropotkin’s greatest work “The Conquest of Bread” that lays bare the defects of the economic systems known as Feudalism and Capitalism by showing how they thrive on and maintain poverty and scarcity, in spite of being in a time of abundance thanks to technology, while promoting privilege.

Simply put, where Darwin’s theories advocated a World where men are pitted against their fellow men for survival, Kropotkin stated that only through mutual cooperation with each other could our human race survive and prosper with no man every having to live in poverty or despair.

Kropotkin, though being praised by many in his lifetime, including the great Irish poet and author Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) who called him “a man with a soul of that beautiful white Christ which seems coming out of Russia”, the “Anarchist Prince”, as Kropotkin became to be known, saw his theories lose out those of Darwin’s who were backed by the powerful and moneyed interests of the Western Empires.

What spurred Elliot’s great interest in Kropotkin’s theories is that the great Russian had not only predicted the Panic of 1873, but also the Great Depression. Kropotkin, however, did not live to see the Great Depression but Elliot did, and by expanding on Kropotkin’s theories discovered that while stock market prices may appear random and unpredictable, they actually follow predictable, natural laws and can be measured and forecast using Fibonacci numbers.

So completely did Elliot examine and expand upon Kropotkin that in 1946, two years before his death, he published one of the most important books of the 20^th Century titled “Nature's Law - The Secret of the Universe” that, in part, shows:

“Rhythm In Nature, Egyptian Pyramids size - ratios and scaling are based on Natural Laws involving Fibonacci numbers, Sunflower research on how Sunflowers and their seeds conform to exact Fibonacci ratios, How the Washington Monument & US History is ruled by Natural Laws & Fibonacci numbers, Wave knowledge can be applied to stocks-bonds-grains- cotton -coffee & others, Stock market cycles and waves, Corrections, Complex corrections, Triangles, Thrust breakouts, Wave extensions, Correct wave counting, Sideways movements, Irregular tops, Scaling of charts, 13-year triangles, Dow Jones Industrial Avg Analysis and charts, How retracements and patterns maintain 62% ratios, Price of gold, Waves in gold prices, Gold chart and waves for 685 years from the year 1250 thru 1932.

It goes without saying, in the Western World at least, and especially the United States, that Prechter’s dire warning is going virtually unreported on even as the Baltic Dry Index (BDI) and the American stock markets are mirroring those of the Great Depression year 1932 and pointing to an even greater economic apocalypse to come.

Even worse for the American people are new reports showing their National Debt by the end of the year will soar to its highest level since the end of World War II and represent a crushing 62% of their entire National economy. More...
