The Fed Has Its Finger On The Button Of A Nuclear Debt Bomb<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n

<\/p>\n

I hear a lot of talk lately in the alternative media (and even the mainstream media) of the potential for World War III. The general assumption when one hears that term is that \u201cnuclear conflict\u201d is imminent. But a world war does not necessarily have to be fought with nukes. For example, we are perhaps already witnessing the first shots fired in a global economic war as the Trump administration gets ready to implement far-reaching trade tariffs. This action might provide cover (or justification) for destructive attacks on the U.S. fiscal system by China, Japan, Russia, the EU, OPEC nations, etc. The\u00a0ultimate attack being a dumping of their U.S. debt holdings and the death of the dollar\u2019s world reserve status.<\/p>\n

Of course, an economic \u201cworld war\u201d between nations would in itself be a smokescreen for and an even more insidious internal war being waged against the global economy by central banks.<\/p>\n

There is a longstanding misconception that central banks always manipulate economic conditions to make them appear \u201chealthy\u201d and that the main concern of central bankers is to \u201cdefend the golden goose.\u201d This is false. According to the evidence at hand as well as open admissions by central bankers, these private institutions have throughout history also deliberately created financial crises and collapses.<\/p>\n

The question I always get from people new to the field of alternative economics is \u2014 \u201cWhy would central bankers crash a system they benefit from?\u201d This question is drawn from a flawed understanding of the situation.<\/p>\n

First, there is the assumption that economic systems are static rather than fluid. In reality, vast sums of wealth can be transferred into and out of any notion on a whim and at the speed of light. The collapse of one economy or multiple economies does not necessarily include the destruction of banker wealth. Even if wealth was their top goal (which it is not), global banks and central banks do not see any particular economy as a \u201ccash cow\u201d or a \u201cgolden goose.\u201d From their behavior and tactics in the past, it is more likely that they see national economies as mere\u00a0storage containers.<\/p>\n
