THE PLANNED CRASH
|
||
|
||
The world changed forever on October 19, 1987. What happened on that Monday is
|
||
every bit as significant to the future of our world as the dropping of the
|
||
A-bomb was on August 6, 1945.
|
||
|
||
This bomb led directly to the greatest stock market crash in history. And the
|
||
folks who dropped it were our central bankers- the people who run the Federal
|
||
Reserve System (and the Insiders who run them).
|
||
|
||
The full reasons for the manipulations and machinations that took place during
|
||
the past three weeks are known only to a small handful of people. The vast
|
||
majority of Americans are still confused, bewildered, worried, alarmed, and
|
||
just plain old scared to death.
|
||
|
||
There is an old saying which goes, "A few people make things happen, a greater
|
||
number watch things happen, and most people ask, 'What happened?'" So let me
|
||
tell you what happened.
|
||
|
||
For months, even years, the liquidity of the investing public has been growing
|
||
by leaps and bounds. The causes for these mountainous increases of cash were
|
||
basically three things: (1). Increased productivity (a good thing); (2).
|
||
Increased debt at all levels (a bad thing); (3). Continued inflation, over and
|
||
above productivity and debt service (a terrible thing). Standing astride this
|
||
whole universe of money-in-motion were the central banks of the world- our own
|
||
Federal Reserve System and its sister megabankers in the United Kingdom, West
|
||
Germany, and Japan.
|
||
|
||
After the high inflation of the Carter years, the Reagan Administration slowed
|
||
the printing presses and instead turned to borrowing, in order to feed
|
||
government's voracious appetite for revenues. The result was an historic
|
||
increase in the federal debt, which ultimately led to a corresponding increase
|
||
in private debt. Everything from maxed- out VISA cards to billion-dollar "junk
|
||
bond" offerings bore witness to the credit mania.
|
||
|
||
While the orgy of debt and credit expenditures grew, the stock markets of the
|
||
world, led by the NYSE, became superbulls. During all this, the real Insiders
|
||
were busily putting their game plan in place.
|
||
|
||
By the real Insiders, I mean the leaders of the world money-center banks; the
|
||
men who shape the destinies of nations; the men who select the Paul Volckers
|
||
and Alan Greenspans; the men who have as their objective what Montigue Norman,
|
||
former governor of the Bank of England, once called "the hegemony of the
|
||
world." Now it's known as the New World Order.
|
||
|
||
To build a New World Order, you first need what the "Insiders" themselves call
|
||
a New Economic Order. How do you justify a New Economic Order? You need a
|
||
crisis; in fact, several of them.
|
||
|
||
Now they've got one. Boy, have they got one.
|
||
|
||
What we are seeing today is as planned as the building of a house. Each
|
||
timber, each nail, each joint and joist is doing its designated job. And
|
||
believe me, when the house is finally finished, the rooms will look and feel
|
||
very much like a cell.
|
||
|
||
Longtime readers of Insider Report know that the "secret" of anticipating
|
||
market moves is to keep your eye on the Federal Reserve. The Fed has planned
|
||
and orchestrated every stock market move, up or down, since 1929. This
|
||
situation was no different. Once the Fed announced, as it did on October 14th,
|
||
that it was raising the rediscount rate, the dominoes started to fall. By
|
||
Monday, October 19th, the herd mentality had grabbed hold, and all Hell broke
|
||
loose.
|
||
|
||
Granted, there were other factors which contributed mightily to the chaos. But
|
||
when you push the first domino, cause and effect will take care of the rest.
|
||
|
||
Insider Report subscribers were warned what would happen and what they should
|
||
do about it, well in advance of the crash. Here are some examples:
|
||
|
||
From the January '87 Insider Report:
|
||
|
||
"When in doubt, always take a profit. With the stock market hitting new highs
|
||
and volume on the New York Stock Exchange going through the roof, it's
|
||
essential that we not develop a 'crowd' mentality.
|
||
|
||
"I certainly don't know when this critter will exhaust itself. But it will.
|
||
And when it does, it's going to drop like a bull in a Barcelona bullring. So
|
||
in spite of all the hoopla you hear today, I think that moving into cash,
|
||
especially when you've got profits to show for it, makes eminently good sense.
|
||
|
||
"Eliminate the margin account on your oil stocks, and any other NYSE stocks you
|
||
own; place trailing sell stop orders, 'good 'til cancelled.' behind each stock
|
||
you own."
|
||
|
||
|
||
From the May '87 Insider Report:
|
||
|
||
"This stock market has become a real circus. Up 50 points one day, down 50
|
||
points the next. It is a portfolio manager's nightmare.
|
||
|
||
"But then, we knew it would be. As ia said back in February (right after the
|
||
big January runup), 'as long as interest rates stay at current levels or lower,
|
||
and as long as the dollar continues to decline, the market should continue to
|
||
move ever higher.'
|
||
|
||
"Then I added this warning: 'But once the monetary picture changes, and
|
||
interest rates start rising and truly reflecting the real rate of inflation,
|
||
look out!"
|
||
|
||
|
||
From the August '87 Insider Report:
|
||
|
||
"The time has come to pick up some marbles. We have seen some tremendous
|
||
profits accumulate in our portfolios and now is not the time to be greedy...
|
||
|
||
"Let's get out!
|
||
|
||
"As I write this, the Dow Jones Industrials are just under 2700 and have gained
|
||
200 points in record time on record volume. And in spite of all the bullish
|
||
news out of the Persian Gulf, the oil stocks have slowed and are not leading
|
||
the market, as they did for months on end. This tells me the Insiders are now
|
||
going to let the public and the mutual fund managers take them out at or near
|
||
the top. These stocks will retrench dramatically before the Insiders cover
|
||
their shorts. (Those guys make it coming and going!)"
|
||
|
||
Let me now tell you what to expect from this point on. In a word, confusion.
|
||
In fact, confustion compounded by confusion. As any serious student of history
|
||
knows, all major world-shaping changes have grown out of great crisis periods.
|
||
I'll not recount the numerous cases which would prove the point, but believe
|
||
me, they are there.
|
||
|
||
Today is no exception. What will come out of this confusion is a "New World
|
||
Order" which will have as its first priority the surrender of our monetary
|
||
sovereignty. On sunday, October 18th, there appeared in the New York Times an
|
||
article headlined, "Gold shines in new economic order." written by Peter T.
|
||
Kilborn, the piece starts off as follows:
|
||
|
||
"Despite the turbulence in the financial markets and the barbs of skeptics,
|
||
many economists find that the United States and other leading countries are
|
||
making headway in a fit-and-start effort to regain control of the world
|
||
economy.
|
||
|
||
"Some 16 years ago the major nations gave up their battle to keep the dollar's
|
||
value tied to gold and abandoned their old system. But they have since decided
|
||
that the wide-open markets and often frenzied exchange rates that took gold's
|
||
place have not served them very well either. As a result, they have been
|
||
devising a new order that most likely will resurrect gold, although probably
|
||
not to a role as powerful as before."
|
||
|
||
Note very carefully two phrases- "new order" and "not to a role as powerful as
|
||
before." Those two speak volumes.
|
||
|
||
The piece continues in part, "The new arrangement was two years in the
|
||
making...while still far from complete, economists contend that the new order
|
||
has begun to yield some tangible results. Ralph C. Bryant, economist at The
|
||
Brookings Institution and formerly a top official at the Federal Reserve
|
||
System, said, 'the process of economic policy making is a little better than it
|
||
was.'"
|
||
|
||
Referred in the article as the chief proponent of this new order is none other
|
||
than our own Treasury Secretary, James A. Baker, III. Baker, commenting on
|
||
the turmoil in the U.S. stock and bond markets, asked a question and then
|
||
answered it: "Are we considerably better off in terms of our chances of
|
||
obtaining better coordination as a consequence of it? Yes, we are."
|
||
|
||
Follow this carefully. Here you have the Secretary of the Treasury admitting
|
||
that all this confusion and all this economic hurt is helping to bring about a
|
||
plan which by its very nature will reduce his country to economic subservience
|
||
for all time. And this, my friends, was in an article that appeared the day
|
||
before Black Monday! Imagine Baker's delight with what has transpired since.
|
||
|
||
Then today, November 3rd, along comes CFR mouthpiece Anthony Lewis, in his
|
||
syndicated column, calling for the return of Paul Volcker. After first
|
||
suggesting Volcker for the treasury post, Lewis then gets to where he really
|
||
wanted to go in the first place. "Or he...(Volcker) could be a special
|
||
ambassador to organize an urgent international meeting on the financial
|
||
crisis."
|
||
|
||
Lewis then tells us what this conference would do: "The purpose of a
|
||
conference would be to demonstrate that the political leaders of Europe, Asia,
|
||
and America understand their countries' interdependence(!) and are ready to put
|
||
aside narrow self-interest and ideology for common goals." Translated, that
|
||
means West Germany, Japan and the United States must surrender their national
|
||
sovereignty for a new world economic order.
|
||
|
||
If you follow these people, and understand the Aesopian language with which
|
||
they write and speak, they tell you flat out what they want and what they are
|
||
going to do. Here is an outline of their current game plan:
|
||
|
||
(1) Create crises.
|
||
(2) Use the contrived crises as the excuse to justify implementing
|
||
one-world socialist schemes.
|
||
(3) Use gold and other things of value as carrots, to entice us into
|
||
accepting this New Economic Order. The carrots, of course to be
|
||
followed by sticks.
|
||
(4) Promote more government controls over every aspect of the
|
||
economy
|
||
(5) Blame the free market as "the culprit" that has "failed."
|
||
|
||
Our challenge is to protect ourselves, by knowing what the Insiders are
|
||
planning and not falling prey to it. To this end, I urge you to buy gold coins
|
||
of various sizes and quality gold stocks.
|
||
|
||
Don't be buffaloed into running with the herd and thinking that the current
|
||
pandemonium is going to be normalized quickly. It won't be. What we are
|
||
living through now is what is called, in the street, "the gut check."
|
||
|
||
I wish I could tell you things are going to get better in the near term.
|
||
They're not. But we can do something about it, beyond protecting ourselves and
|
||
our families. Helping to inform our fellow citizens is step one. Please
|
||
photocopy this special report and distribute it far and wide. people who
|
||
wouldn't pay attention to any of these possible scenarios just two short weeks
|
||
ago are today scared to death and looking for some answers. Once they have
|
||
them, we can help them find solutions as well.

Some comments: I have not studied things in the depth that Mr. Abraham (the
|
||
author of the preceeding article) has studied. I am not clear wether he means
|
||
that the "domino" was pushed within weeks of the crash or if it was planned and
|
||
put into action some time before.
|
||
|
||
The talk in the newspapers and news magazines about the mutual funds and the
|
||
computer trading is totally misleading. They did not cause the crash. That
|
||
was prepared by the actions of the Federal Reserve System. The mutual funds
|
||
were only part of the "herd."
|
||
|
||
"Many would have you believe there is some great cosmic mystery to why the
|
||
market rises or falls. Nonsense! Nothing could be further from the truth. If
|
||
you know what the Fed is doing, you will know where the market is going.
|
||
|
||
"Let me explain briefly how and why it works. The rediscount rate is nothing
|
||
more than the rate which the Federal Reserve System charges its member banks
|
||
for borrowed money. When the Fed raises that rate, what happens?
|
||
|
||
"Naturally, one of the first places that impact is felt is in what the banks
|
||
charge the brokerage houses. They in turn reflect this cost of money in what
|
||
are called 'corporate broker loans.' Put another way, the brokerage houses must
|
||
necessarily charge their customers more interest on margin accounts. These
|
||
fundamental applications are as true today as they have been since before the
|
||
stock market crash of 1929.
|
||
|
||
"(You might note that the changes in the rediscount rate are an almost
|
||
infallible barometer of what will happen to inflation as well.)" Insider Report
|
||
Vol. V No. 4
|
||
|
||
I heartily agree that the Federal Reserve System works to the detriment of the
|
||
average American citizen. We are used to thinking of Federal Reserve Notes as
|
||
money, which is not correct. Look at the paper sometime and you will see "THIS
|
||
NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE". Until relatively
|
||
recently I did not know that "note" had a financial meaning, citing Webesters:
|
||
"A written promise to pay a debt." You are carrying certificates of debt, not
|
||
as in earlier days when paper money was representative of some amount of gold
|
||
(or later silver). In those days the paper money had wealth backing it, not
|
||
debt.
|
||
|
||
Also, tender is "something that may be offered in payment." Over the course of
|
||
time the government forced the population to accept paper as payment of debts,
|
||
rather than something of real value (such as gold). Part of this is due to the
|
||
fact that the civil government is the biggest debtor of all and they use
|
||
inflation to defraud their creditors.
|
||
|
||
Again, until relatively recently I did not know what inflation REALLY was, as
|
||
the newspapers imply that inflation is rising prices. This, I have
|
||
subsequently learned, is NOT true. Inflation is any increase in the supply of
|
||
money or credit. Some dictionaries confuse this definiton by adding "relative
|
||
to the available goods resulting in a substantial and continuing rise in the
|
||
general price level". That is misleading. Inflation is ONLY the increase
|
||
supply of money or credit, and with this definiton in mind, it is possible to
|
||
have inflation even if gold is used as the commodity of exchange. Spain had
|
||
inflation when they brought all that gold back from the New World.
|
||
|
||
The Federal Reserve System has control over the amount of inflation we
|
||
experience. If they inflate the system, prices (remember there is a time delay
|
||
for this to occur, which is one reason why most people don't recognize what is
|
||
happening) will rise. What is happening is NOT that goods and services are
|
||
becoming more expensive. What is taking place is that your "money" is losing
|
||
it's value. By debauching the currency, those who control it can enrich
|
||
themselves at others expense.
|
||
|
||
Think of this. What is a dollar? A piece of paper with George Washington's
|
||
face on it. And if they change engravings it could be 5 dollars or ten dollars
|
||
or even 100 dollars. It's the same paper. The same ink. It is said that
|
||
during the Hyperinflation that Germany experienced in the 1920's that they were
|
||
printing money so fast that it was only printed on one side because they did
|
||
not have time to wait for the ink to dry.
|
||
|
||
By the way, some of you may be unaware. I don't remember the exact date, I
|
||
think it was October of last year, but the U.S. Government has begun minting
|
||
gold coins again. These are legal tender, but will not be spent as such since
|
||
they are sold for bullion value. At the time I first heard about this the
|
||
"$50" gold coin, which had one ounce of gold, was selling for about $450 as
|
||
that was the bullion price. The U.S. is not the only nation to have begun
|
||
minting gold coins again. Red China along with quite a few other nations,
|
||
sorry but I don't remember them all now and I can't think of where I have the
|
||
list of nations, also began minting coins. Mr. Abraham, along with several
|
||
others I've seen, suspects that these coins will be used to induce the citizens
|
||
of the various nations to accept a one world currency. Ostensibly the currency
|
||
will be backed by gold, to gain the publics confidence, but once in place the
|
||
restrictions of gold (ie you can't print gold on the printing press) will be
|
||
removed. For those who would gain power, it is difficult to direct the
|
||
economies of nations when you have so many different standards, of currencies,
|
||
to deal with. One currency would make things a lot easier for them, but worse
|
||
for us (ie those who love their freedom).
|
||
|
||
Now to some of you this will seem far fetched. It is certainly not what I was
|
||
taught in school. So below you will find some books I reccomend if you would
|
||
like to study this further. These will help you gain a better understanding
|
||
about how the Federal Reserve System controls your (and my) actions, and about
|
||
economics and politics in general.
|
||
|
||
Larry Abraham is the author of the preceeding article. Murray Rothbard is one
|
||
of the "Austrian" economists. Ludwig Von Mises is their most distinguished
|
||
representative. They are free market economists, who come from a secular
|
||
perspective.
|
||
|
||
Henry Hazlitt was a journalist who was inspired by the writings of the Austrian
|
||
school (as it has come to be known), especially Von Mises.
|
||
|
||
If you have trouble locating any of these books let me know and I will help you
|
||
find copies. I hope that this has helped you grow in knowledge and
|
||
understanding. Together we stand, divided we fall.
