February 26th 2018: The year 2018 will see the global breakdown begin to occur in greater speed. The Jackass calls it the Systemic Lehman Event. The past year set the stage with important systemic cracks and alternatives being formed. After the 2008 financial crisis, nothing was put to remedy, not even solutions sought. All the financial sectors have been abused and corrupted with amplified funny money. The Eastern nations have united to form the Eurasian Trade Zone. Three old empires are uniting in China, Russia, Persia. The Western Economy is stuck in a deadly recession and amplified hyper monetary inflation. The USTreasury Bond will be the string that is pulled, surely to unravel the entire sweater. The USTBond decline will force a US Stock Market decline and a USDollar decline in unison. The crisis will lead to a global sense of foreboding, disorder, and growing panic. The safe haven will finally be in Gold & Silver, the precious metals. A list of forecast events is provided for the new year. Many have already begun, and most will enjoy recognized progress throughout the year. The United States will lose power and suffer the ignominy of isolation and exposed corruption.
