Shinzo Abe Predicts A Collapse

Abe predicts a collapse is coming, and has charts and graphs to prove it:

We continue to report on important mainstream investors, professional and private, who have warned about an impending, global financial catastrophe. Now, add Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to that list.

George Soros, Stanley Druckenmiller, and Carl Icahn among others have all made dire statements. They’ve also reconfigured their portfolios and taken positions in gold and silver and shorted the market.

The latest to join this list of doomsayers is Japanese Prime Minister Abe. This past Thursday at the G7 meeting he warned about the upcoming global crisis…

He even displayed a number of charts supporting his position that we are on the cusp of a massive collapse.

I can’t figure out if this is a strange Kabuki theater which our leaders insist on going through, or if it is a sign of the extreme mental retardation which exists at the highest level of our governments. Abe acts like the future is debatable, and he needs to prove a very questionable assertion with extensive evidence, but you don’t need graphs and charts to see what is coming. Nor should any of the other leaders require extensive evidence or argument to understand that given the current rates of debt spending a collapse is inevitable, and it is approaching.

This is like a chicken farmer at a chicken farmer convention trying to convince all the other chicken farmers that female chickens lay eggs, and doing it with lots of pictures, diagrams, and charts. Are they all idiots, who enjoy the excitement of looking up from their navel-gazing to see images of the world about to conflagrate? Are they trying to appear clueless in the hopes the masses won’t decide to kill them? Or is it purposeful denial of a reality none of them could possible face?

There will be interesting times ahead with this bunch running the show.
