Occupy Eccles - Powell is a deranged financial terrorist whose sole purpose is to make sure his wall street buddies are made whole on any and all risk.

Global economic collapse is inevitable and imminent. This will define the political landscape in the near future. Central bank stimulus has created unprecedented, massive, unsustainable debt saturation in all asset classes. Once extend-and-pretend liquidity dries up, there will be a global rush to the dollar as the perceived de facto reserve currency. This delusion will not last long and will soon give way to hyperinflation. All of this will present an opportunity for progress toward liberty since fiat currency, statism, crony capitalism, and blank-check superstate utopia delusion will be widely discredited. Libertarians will have their hands full competing with radical elements though, particularly socialists and fascists.

The U.S. is essentially a kleptocracy with embedded larcenists racking up trillions in windfalls while the electorate is distracted by identity politics and petty cash issues. None of this is new and represents a steady pattern throughout history but this time the scope is log-scale unprecedented and global interdependencies are intractable. Corporate/Government media concerns will outdo themselves attempting to villainize imaginary culprits such as China, immigrants, EU socialism, etc. while soundly demonstrating their complete ignorance of primary dealers, bank holding companies, credit default swaps, dollar-bound international debt, FED/Treasury/Banking axis, financial engineering, private equity, Investment banks, securitization, inexplicable cascading derivatives and the complete abdication of any form of oversight. If the smoke ever clears from unrest, ignorance, and deception, level-playing field capitalism and some form of liberty oriented governance has a chance to emerge.

Superstate utopia delusion is ingrained in the consciousness of a large portion of the world population especially in the US and will take a steady drum beat to dislodge. Alternative perspectives are unlikely to gain any traction though without a catastrophic end to the delusion. The inevitable global economic collapse is probably the necessary evil that will catalyze change. This may sound like a foil-hat rant but it is a guarantee that can fairly easily be demonstrated with basic math and a perfect historical track record of money printing failures. There are numerous experts sounding the alarm for some time so none of this is news. They provide comic relief right now for network news corporate cheerleaders but they can be looked to for leadership in the very near future.
