And it\u2019s located in Switzerland which has always carried a reputation for financial secrecy.<\/p>\n<p>Then it has this going for it \u2013 John Keynes of \u201cKeynesian economic theory\u201d opposed its dissolution back in the 1940s. His was the kind of thinking that has largely influenced central banks to hijack our economies with manipulative monetary policies! So you\u2019d probably think I\u00a0<em>hate<\/em>\u00a0these guys.<\/p>\n<p>But you\u2019ve got to give credit where credit is due. The Bank for International Settlements is one of the few financial institutions that warned of dangers to the global financial system as early as 2003.<\/p>\n<p>So by time the financial crisis struck, they\u2019d been warning about it for\u00a0<em>years<\/em>. Its former chief economist, William White, even dared to challenge former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan about cheap money policies that helped start the crisis!<\/p>\n<p>Once again, this group is on the right side of history.<\/p>\n<p>It just warned about a \u201cgathering storm\u201d in the global economy as central banks seem to be running out of options. They\u2019ve seen right through this \u201crecovery\u201d and warned that unprecedented debt levels would put the world economy in\u00a0<em>worse\u00a0<\/em>shape than before the 2008 crash.<\/p>\n<p>Because like with any addiction, there is a point where increased stimulus just doesn\u2019t work anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Just this week, China reported a 25.4% year-over-year decline in exports, despite continued strong economic stimulus from the government. Now, they simply pledge more stimulus like every central bank in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s Japan, whose economy remains in a coma after the most aggressive QE of all developed nations. Four of the last seven quarters have been negative, including the fourth quarter of 2015.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Secret Monetary Group Warns a Catastrophe Is Coming This is just the tip of the iceberg.
