Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

Yes, Biofuel, I detect a major disturbance in the force. All of those rumors about international bank $$ transfers from NY. Gold up $25 this morning. Dow down beaucoup. Oil up beaucoup.

It is just another sign. The crash isn't quite here yet.
I give the entire ball 1 or 2 more years and then we will see the zombie hordes begin to manifest. Mass Rioting, Massive Crimes, and the whole kit n kiboodle

some lines from American Cinema -
Game over, man! Game over!
I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Well thats just great, thats just farking great man! Now what the Fark are we supposed to do? We're in some real pretty crap man!
I want this to go smooth, and by the numbers.
Hudson: "We're on an express elevator to hell - going down!"
Ripley: They cut the power.
Hudson: What do you mean "THEY cut the power"? How could they cut the power, man? They're animals!
Hudson: Maybe we got 'em demoralized.
What the hell are we supposed to use? Harsh Language?
Ripley: "So how many drops is this for you, Lieutenant?"
Bernanke: "Thirty eight, simulated."
Ripley: "How many combat drops?"
Bernanke: "Two, including this one."

The stock market has really been the last leg standing. Now it's starting to crumble, finally. Death by a thousand cuts, and by a Fed running out of tricks.
The stock market is realizing that economic growth is mostly finished in this country, and perhaps on this planet, because the foot-loose and fancy-free fuels that have powered it are dancing out the door.
Without economic growth you cannot have generalized growth in the stock market.
Step by step and clink by clank, you can hear the chains of the Greater Depression coming.
Or, it's like the end game in a chess game. You have a knight and a bishop and your equally skilled opponent has two rooks. You cannot win. Your king will topple. _________________ "Actually, humans died out long ago."

The Dow is down 300 points last I checked. If it keeps this up, it will be under 11,000 very soon! Yes, some major disturbances in the force, Alter Ego.

I knew it was a bad omen when I woke up this morning to see Matthew Simmons as a guest on CNBC Europe breakfast news.
I knew it was really bad when I found out that they didn't invite him as the regular fruitloop to take a piss on (like they do now and then), but that they were taking him seriously.
Not that you shouldn't take him seriously, on the contrary.
However you know things are really going down the drain when CNBC the stronghold of cornucopian optimism is looking at Simmons for guidance.

Oil up, S&P down, Nasdaq down, the Dow down 355+ pts, gold up 32+.
What's going on? The little pills being distributed daily were substituted with placebos? All the hedge fund managers skip town? Has the date for attacking Iran been set? _________________ "RRrrruuuunnnn!!!" ~Apocalypto
