Interesting. Just 10 months ago, I stumbled across the Titanic and spent days researching and learning more about it. I ended up in uncontrollable tears.....over something that happened a 100 years ago! I never understood why.
More recently, I was watching the movie "Too Big to Fail", an HBO film that just became available on amazon, netflix and at some lending libraries. The Titanic came to me, as I watched this film. Our highly technical, sophisticated, interwoven, interdependent global economy, [that the best brains of the world have been attracted to (rather than engineering or medicine) because they can make so much money in finance]....has been designed with so many supposedly fail-safe controls, that banks can never lose.....has failed and is still failing. It can not be stopped. All these bailouts and other efforts are merely "re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic".....hopelessly. Too little, too late. Just delaying the inevitable. The Titanic is going down.....slowly at first.....then blindingly fast. Our global economy is a Titanic, that is sinking. It is God's judgment, it can not be stopped. The Plunge Protection Team is working over time to shore up the markets, but they can not stop the collapse of the Euro, which will soon be followed by the US Dollar, fiat currency created out of thin air for purposes of unbridled greed. This is all laying the foundation for the 3rd Seal, Black Horse judgment of Revelation which depicts a global economic collapse, hyperinflation, with resulting starvation.
Rev 6: 5,6"…a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice….saying 'A quart of wheat for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine."
So naturally when I read this post about the Titanic (above link), it got my attention.
PS: the movie "Too Big to Fail" is a CYA for Hank Paulson, whom if you recall was a former Goldman Sachs CEO, whose solution to our global economic problem was for main street to bail out wall street Carte Blanche with ZERO reforms: a 3 page bill approved by Bush and sent to Capitol Hill for rush approval in 2008. The only thing good about the movie is it shows how poorly the global economic system is over seen. Hank Paulson, US Treasury Secretary was caught blind-sided like everyone else, and flying by the seat of his pants, always in favor of the banksters he represented. That's what happens when you install the fox to guard the hen house. You are going to lose a lot of hens with this approach. That's the approach we still have. Via main street's bailouts, the banksters have just gotten bigger, more arrogant and far more dangerous. When the banks were circling the drain in September 2008, that's when economic reforms should have been installed, (like breaking up too big to fail banks, so they no longer cause systemic risk......and out lawing derivatives.....and re-instating the Glass Steagall Act which was put into place after the 1929 crash, and repealed by bi-partisan approval on Capitol Hill and the White House). Now the banks are bigger, and hire more lobbyists to ensure that no material reform will ever occur. So a global economic collapse is ensured. Its like a speeding car out of control. If you don't apply the brakes, just wait for it to crash into something to stop it. That's where we are. The crash is happening, and its not going to be pretty.
Another movie I recommend viewing to get an insight into Goldman Sachs the leader of the pack of banksters is: "Margin Call". Be sure to watch the special features speeches by Jeremy Irons, acting as CEO of Goldman. The speech was cut from the final movie because it was too telling. But the speech is in the special features section of the dvd, and it speaks volumes about the mentality of Wall Street banksters. These are the leaders running things with zero accountability to the American people.
