No Joke! The Onion Predicted All Of This Back In 2003

Presenting BofA's "Number One Black Swan Event For The Global Oil Market In 2016"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/20/2015 - 14:31 "Can the government maintain this strategy of flooding the oil market? In our view, it is unlikely that Saudi leaders would want to exacerbate its ongoing reserve drain by pushing prices below $40/bbl.

Sitting Ducks in China’s Bathtub – an Overture to World War III?

by Doug Casey, International Man:

It’s always been true, as Bourne said, that “war is the health of the State.” But it’s especially true when economic times get tough. That’s because governments like to blame their problems on outsiders; even an imagined foreign threat tends to unify opinions around those of the leaders. Since economies around the world are all weakening, and political leaders are all similar in essential mindset, there’s good reason to believe the trend towards World War III is accelerating.
Many politicians and pundits in the U.S. blame “those damn Chinese” for taking “our jobs” by filling Walmart with tons of cheap goods, and the swarthy ragheads for making the price of oil too high (usually, but now too low).
