Is The Swine Flu Pandemic Man-made?

In my April 24th blog, Pandemic Alert - Possible Bioterrorism , I speculated regarding the possibility that the current swine flu pandemic that started in Mexico is a consequence of covert Russian biological warfare against the West rather than natural causes.

"....their (Russian) strategy calls for deceptive actions designed to mislead the West into lowering its guard while the Soviets covertly go to maximum readiness to strike first....

As part of this process, the Soviets could initiate a massive covert biological and chemical war that would be confusing for the U.S. leadership to analyze - possibly impossible to know the certain cause. This process could effectively disable U.S. forces and the civilian population and make it impossible for the U.S. to go to war..." (Soviet Strategic Deception: CBW - The Covert Dimension, Joseph D. Douglass, Jr., p.329)

After posting this, my blog was inaccessible for three days. While I would like my blog to remain alive, I will nevertheless continue to post information buttressing the argument that the world is now experiencing a man-made pandemic if this is what the evidence suggests.

The fast-spreading H1N1 strain of influenza is an improbable combination which includes genetic elements from bird flu, swine flu and human flu spanning three continents. Per Nancy Cox, director of the CDC's influenza division:

"We have some gene segments that are North American swine influenza viruses. Some gene segments are North American avian influenza viruses, one gene segment from a human influenza virus and two gene segments that are normally found from swine influenza viruses in Asia and in Europe." (SOURCE)

Furthermore, "An analysis of the the phylogenic tree (the component strains) present in the current swine flu cases in Texas and California show no identifiable components of Mexican origin." (SOURCE)

Of particular concern are the genetic elements related to swine flu of Eurasian origin since this strain has never been seen in a human contagion. Because of this, there is no established human immunity making this disease particularly virulent:

“The new neuraminidase gene that came in from Eurasian swine is one we’ve never before seen circulating in humans,” said Rambaut (Andrew Rambaut, a University of Edinburgh viral geneticist). “That’s one of the reasons it’s spreading rapidly. Very few people will have any immunity to this particular combination, which is what gives the concern that this will be a pandemic rather than just a normal seasonal flu outbreak. It remains to be seen how much and to what extent there is existing immunity.” (SOURCE)

Russia Today broadcast the following segment with Wayne Madsen highlighting the suspicious character of the current swine flu outbreak:



An important point noted by Madsen is that this swine flu is not being witnessed in swine.

The 1918 "Spanish Flu" pandemic, which infected around half the world's population and caused upwards of 100 million deaths, was a swine flu similar to the current outbreak. The etiology of this pandemic traced back to hog farms in the Midwest USA. From Gina Kolata's Flu: the story of the great influenza pandemic of 1918 and the search for the virus that caused it, we learn the following:

Unlike human flu, swine flu had not been noticed - if, indeed, it even existed - before 1918. But then suddenly, in the autumn of 1918, at the start of the flu pandemic, millions of pigs in the Midwest became ill with a severe respiratory infection and thousands died almost overnight. In fact, animal flus were not unheard of. As long ago as the sixteenth century, there were reports of diseases that sound like flu in horses, for example. The flu that struck the pigs in the Midwest, however, was different. Entire hog farms were decimated.

Whatever the disease was, it looked like influenza. The pigs got runny noses, fevers, even watery eyes of human sufferers. And the timing of the epidemic's appearance, in the midst of the human influenza outbreak, seemed to some to be more than just a coincidence. It was traced to the Cedar Rapids Swine Show, held in Iowa from September 30 to October 5, 1918, when sick pigs housed with healthy animals soom spread the disease. When the show was over and the newly infected pigs were shipped back to their farms, the disease was seeded throughout the Midwest. (Kolata, 2001, pp.66-67)

According to media reports, the current swine flu outbreak started in La Gloria, Mexico, which is downwind from a large Smithfield Foods, Inc. commercial hog farm. In fact, in tracing the origins of the outbreak, authorities have zeroed in on a single case in La Gloria, Mexico - that of 5-year-old Edgar Hernandez, who has been marked as "patient zero" by his doctors:



The problem with this scenario, however, is that reportedly none of the hogs or workers at the Smithfield hog farm near La Gloria have been infected. According to C. Larry Pope, president and chief executive of Smithfield Foods, "we know of no pigs that are sick, no people on those farms that are sick and no people in our plants" who are sick. Furthermore, Mexico's top government epidemiologist, Miguel Ángel Lezana, said that it is "highly improbable" the Smithfield hog farm in the Mexican state of Veracruz is responsible for the nation's swine-flu outbreak because the pigs there are from North America, while the genetic material in the virus is from Europe and Asia.

But even with these signs that the swine flu is not a natural phenomenon, the masses will believe otherwise because the MSM reported that the origin was determined and a cute little Mexican boy coughing in an interview was shown as proof of how the outbreak began.

So why is it that the only major media source entertaining the possibility that this flu outbreak is man-made is Russia Today? Maybe because this reduces the chances that anyone will point their finger Moscow's way if people start to realize the pandemic is, in fact, a consequence of biological warfare. Anyone but me, that is.

Russia is leading us to its slaughterhouse. Will the sheeple ever wake up and start thinking for themselves?

History's Hidden Engine: Dow 8,000 & Pandemic?

Bookmark and Share
Print
The DJIA is currently struggling to keep above the psychologically important 8,000 mark in the wake of an Elliott Wave Primary degree rebound in the stock market from the early-March low at Dow 6400:



As noted in prior blogs, there is a tendency for mass mood and associated world history to peak around psychologically important thousand marks in the DJIA, the most widely watched barometer of economic and collective well-being. Upon reversals below these thousand marks, negative historical "shocks" sometimes occur seemingly out of the blue that setoff a downward trend in stock prices and mass mood.

This pattern is overviewed in my Stock Market Crash Alert that anticipated last year's autumnal panic on Wall Street, but, for the sake of clarity, I've put together some revised charts highlighting a few of the most obvious examples of this phenomenon.

If the DJIA fails at the 8000 mark here, then a new downleg in the Grand Supercycle bear market might unfold that has significant negative implications for world history. At the present time, it appears that this new downtrend may take the form of, at the least, a swine flu pandemic.

In 1966, the DJIA reached the "Magic 1000" mark for the first time in history and then reversed course:



Following this top at Dow 1000, a 16-year bear market began on Wall Street that, adjusted for inflation, carried the DJIA down 74% from the 1966 peak by 1982:



This prolonged downtrend in stock prices and mass mood involved many negative historical events that fed souring popular sentiment. One of the most clear-cut examples of this occurred in October of 1973 when, upon retesting the "Magic 1000" mark, the DJIA turned down in connection with that month's Yom Kippur Arab/Israeli War which was followed by an OPEC oil embargo against the West and a severe contraction in the global economy. This was reflected on Wall Street with a 40%+ decline in stock prices:



On July 16th and 17th of 1990, the DJIA closed at 2999.75 two days in a row, not closing above the psychologically important 3000 mark until the following year. Just as the DJIA reached the 3000 mark, Saddam Hussein gave a speech threatening Kuwait on what was then Iraq's President Day honoring the date of the coup that brought the Butcher of Baghdad to power. That weekend, Iraq started massing troops on Kuwait triggering a 5% reversal in the DJIA from the 3000 mark. Then, on August 2nd, Iraq invaded Kuwait causing the Persian Gulf Crisis, a spike in oil prices and a 20%+ drop in the DJIA by October of that year. Thus, the reversal in mass emotion with a failure at Dow 3000 in the summer of 1990 manifested as Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and the beginning of what would be a prolonged struggle with Saddam Hussein's Iraq.



In early-September of 2001, the DJIA reversed below Dow 10,000....THEN 9/11 occurred precipitating a 20% drop in the stock market.



Thus, at the current junture there is the possibility that a reversal below Dow 8,000 will be met with a new historical shock and it appears increasingly likely that this will take the form of a swine flu pandemic (which may be a prelude to global war as highlighted in my prior blog).

All of this is profound evidence that deterministic cyclical swings in mass mood are the hidden engine behind human history:



However, this is not simply because of human nature as posited by Robert Prechter IMHO. I believe this phenomenon reflects our Creator's designs....i.e., this is proof of God's authorship of human history.

Pandemic Alert - Possible Bioterrorism?

Bookmark and Share

It's possible that the next leg down in the Grand Supercycle bear market is potentially getting underway in the form of pestilence, possibly man-made.

An outbreak of 'swine flu' in Mexico that has already caused around 60 deaths is now spreading into the United States with a possible significant outbreak now being reported at a private school in Queens, New York. While this possible flu pandemic might seem like a natural development, the unique, improbable genetic character of the virus suggests we may be dealing with a man-made crisis:





The CDC said genetic sequencing of samples from the first two patients, California children who lived in adjacent counties, show that the swine flu virus contains segments from four different viruses: some North American swine, some North American avian, one human influenza, and two Eurasian swine. "This virus hasn't been recognized in the USA or elsewhere," Schuchat said. (SOURCE)




There are solid reasons to suspect that this new Mexican Swine Flu is NOT a naturally occurring event but instead is an Advanced Biological Warfare recombination DNA genetically engineered virus.

Here is what we know of the virus so far. This virus has already gone international having crossed the border from Mexico to America. All schools in Mexico City have been canceled, millions of students told to stay home due to Mexican Swine Flu. Sick victims of this strange new virus are currently reported in California and Texas. Over 60 deaths reported in Mexico (could be substantially higher considering the state of Mexican health care and reporting).

Young healthy adults seem to be the most at risk. This is similar to the deadest killer flu in history, Spanish Flu in 1918. Most if not all nations with advanced biological warfare programs have been interested in recreating the Spanish Flu DNA sequence and several are reported to have done so.

The new Mexican Swine Flu has elements of DNA from the following: avian flu, human flu Type A, human flu Type B, Asian swine flu, and European swine flu. A strange combination never seen before and having less than 1/10% chance of being a natural event. Human and animal viruses from four or more continents suddenly recombine in a new flu during a non-flu season that spreads from human-to-human with a 10% fatality rating.

Over 1,000 reported infected in Mexico; true rate may be much higher. Mexico City seems to be the epicenter of the new virus. Mexico City has 20 million citizens, most terribly poor. Mexico City is notorious for its poor sanitation and public health. "Don't drink the water" has been the byword in Mexico City for decades. It is the perfect breading ground for an explosive growth of this new killer virus. (SOURCE)








Who would be behind starting a pandemic in North America?

Consider the following excerpt from Chapter 16, Chemical and Biological Warfare: The Covert Dimension, in the long forgotten book, Soviet Strategic Deception (1987), which was authored by Joseph Douglass, Jr.:

"....their (Russian) strategy calls for deceptive actions designed to mislead the West into lowering its guard while the Soviets covertly go to maximum readiness to strike first....

As part of this process, the Soviets could initiate a massive covert biological and chemical war that would be confusing for the U.S. leadership to analyze - possibly impossible to know the certain cause. This process could effectively disable U.S. forces and the civilian population and make it impossible for the U.S. to go to war..." (Soviet Strategic Deception: CBW - The Covert Dimension, Joseph D. Douglass, Jr., p.329)

The evidence and arguments suggesting Moscow was ultimately behind 9/11 and is still running international terrorism networks in an effort to bring down America has been ignored. The signs that the world is being duped into a nearly suicidal nuclear third world war by the Antichrist are not seeing the light of day.

Why? Apparently everyone has other priorities than dealing with the truth.

Well....now it's starting to look like "go-time" for Russia and almost nothing is countering their diabolical, deceptive strategy....except maybe me.

The Man of Lawlessness

1 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers,

2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by some prophecy, report or letter supposed to have come from us, saying that the day of the Lord has already come.

3 Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.

4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshipped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

5 Don't you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things?

6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time.

7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.

8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendour of his coming.

9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders,

10 and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie

12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. (2 Thessalonians 2)

Just beautiful....God bless Susan Boyle!

Susan is a reminder that it's time we all looked a little deeper. She has lived an obscure but important life. She has been a companionable and caring daughter. It's people like her who are the unseen glue in society; the ones who day in and day out put themselves last. They make this country civilised and they deserve acknowledgement and respect.

Susan has been forgiven her looks and been given respect because of her talent. She should always have received it because of the calibre of her character.

A New Way Forward

Bookmark and Share

I went to a protest today organized by a new movement called "A New Way Forward" :



Inspired by Bill Moyers of PBS, apparently these protests were the Left's version of the Tea Party protests slated for Tax Day on April 15th.

Quite frankly, I didn't care who was organizing the protest as the objective was the same as what is being called for on both sides of the aisle OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON: the prosecution of the financial and political elites whose fraud has decimated the world economy. On this topic, the following Bill Moyer's interview is of the utmost importance:



Maybe there's finally an issue where the American Right and Left can come together for the common good?! This truly constitutes a 'new way forward'!

Coincidentally, at the end of the rallyI attended, I spoke with a gentleman name Donny who apparently kicked off the whole "A New Way Forward" movement just a few weeks ago by creating the related web site. I briefed him on my personal background in the study of economics and found that we were in essential agreement regarding the current financial crisis, its causes and its solutions. In this regard, the following email correspondence occurred this evening:




Hi Donny,

Just got home from the protest.

I'm truly amazed by what you have started. What's more, it seems synchronicity that we met in that your proposed solution is precisely what I and others like myself have been calling for. Remarkably, I did not even read 'the idea' of your movement until now:

http://www.anewwayforward.org/the_idea/

This is right on the mark!

I especially appreciate this:

People who were driving a school bus blindfolded (and crashed it) should never be given a new bus. The economics establishment (universities, regulators, central bankers, government officials, various organisations staffed with economists) lost its legitimacy with the failure of the system. It is irresponsible and foolish to put our trust in the ability of such experts to get us out of this mess. Instead, find the smart people whose hands are clean.


"Economic science" is a contradiction in terms. Having studied economics through the PhD level, I assure you these pontificating academicians are clueless to market realities. Their institutional gains became rooted in forging a false religion of the rationality and social benefit of greed. Nevertheless, their's is nothing but a false religion and they've unwittingly destroyed the world economy ASSuming what they believe is true even though it has been increasingly contrary to historical realities.

You should link to Moyer's interview with William Black on your site if you've not already done so. Here's the link:

http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/04032009/watch.html

Here's a related link:

Keep up the good work and please stay in touch!

Hi J,

Great to meet you. So glad you came out today in the rain. I guess things were much better on the West Coast... 300 in LA, 400 in Portland, 300 in SF. Not bad for pushing wonkinsh financial policy. Glad you like the idea page. I wrote that in basically one sitting on an airplane and every time I've reread it, I still am able to stand by it.

Thank you for all these links. I will be checking them out. William Black's interview is great. I have been thinking of this as deliberate systemic fraud all along.

Best,

-Donny




It's not deliberate persay a conspiracy to reap havoc on America's financial future by those with our worst interests in mind. However, it is deliberate in the sense that people in a position to know better opted for quick profits and fat bonuses in the short-run when this was clearly at the expense of their companies and the world economy in the long-run.

Either which way, what has occurred is fraud on a vast scale of which the perpetrators are still running the show and seeking to cover up and unwind their crimes at taxpayers expense. The key issue is whether or not taxpayers will simply stand idly by as trillions of their tax dollars are misspent, or will their be a popular uprising to put an end to this nonsense and put the wrongdoers in jail or at least in the unemployment lines they helped to create.

You are currently aligning yourself and your movement with those in economics that actually understand economics, the crimes of greed that have occurred and the hard solutions to the problem.

I must highlight again William Black, and place high emphasis on James Galbraith, son of the famous author of The Great Crash, 1929, John Kenneth Galbraith. These professors are key to the solution.

Now, how do you bring sufficient popular pressure to bear on the political elite that have long been lackies of the financial elite to replace the Timothy Geithners from the system with regulation-minded outsiders like William Black and James Galbraith?

I think the solution is a protest movement needs to focus in on the actual costs that American taxpayers are incurring for these bailouts. For the most part, these costs are unrecognized by the masses although there is some sense the costs are signficant and not necessarily serving the people's best interests. As the truth of what's going on and how much it is actually costing taxpayers is revealed, I believe the people will rise up in angry rebellion to the fleecing underway.

In this light....below is the key, recent Bloomberg article to consider.

If the $4.2 trillion spent thus far had simply been given to the American people, a check for $14,000 could have been cut to every man, woman and child in the nation....or a check of around $50K could have been cut to every U.S. household. The major drag on the economy is the excessive debt burden on U.S. households and businesses. Imagine what $50K per household would have done to alleviate that distressing burden? Instead, most of the money has been wasted on bailing out insolvent financial institutions that, while on the government dole, continue to register profits and pay themselves exorbitant bonuses and salaries at our expense. Meanwhile, $14K per American has been spent by the government for which taxpayers are ultimately responsible .This is a crime against America and the wrongdoers and the political elite acting on their behalf need to be brought to justice before our nation is completely bankrupted IMHO.

I believe the insanity of this situation is best described by the following question I have posed elsewhere: Why are taxpayers loaning money to banks so that banks might make loans to taxpayers? In effect, this is what's happening. Trillions of tax dollars are being spent to bailout insolvent financial institutions in the hope that these financial instutions will become solvent again and start providing credit (loans) to the American people who are bailing them out in the first place! If you want to stimulate the economy, then insolvent banks should be closed down and the American consumer should be bailed out of their exorbitant debt burdens. It's that simple. The circuitous route being taken is preferred by the financial and political elite simply because those now running the show were running it before and they are TRYING DESPERATELY TO COVER UP THEIR CRIMES. Should we pay for this? I don't think so.


Financial Rescue Nears GDP as Pledges Top $12.8 Trillion (Update1)
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?p...CA4&refer=home

By Mark Pittman and Bob Ivry

March 31 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve have spent, lent or committed $12.8 trillion, an amount that approaches the value of everything produced in the country last year, to stem the longest recession since the 1930s.

New pledges from the Fed, the Treasury Department and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. include $1 trillion for the Public-Private Investment Program, designed to help investors buy distressed loans and other assets from U.S. banks. The money works out to $42,105 for every man, woman and child in the U.S. and 14 times the $899.8 billion of currency in circulation. The nation’s gross domestic product was $14.2 trillion in 2008.

President Barack Obama and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner met with the chief executives of the nation’s 12 biggest banks on March 27 at the White House to enlist their support to thaw a 20-month freeze in bank lending.

“The president and Treasury Secretary Geithner have said they will do what it takes,” Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein said after the meeting. “If it is enough, that will be great. If it is not enough, they will have to do more.”

Commitments include a $500 billion line of credit to the FDIC from the government’s coffers that will enable the agency to guarantee as much as $2 trillion worth of debt for participants in the Term Asset-Backed Lending Facility and the Public-Private Investment Program. FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair warned that the insurance fund to protect customer deposits at U.S. banks could dry up because of bank failures.

‘Within an Eyelash’

The combined commitment has increased by 73 percent since November, when Bloomberg first estimated the funding, loans and guarantees at $7.4 trillion.

“The comparison to GDP serves the useful purpose of underscoring how extraordinary the efforts have been to stabilize the credit markets,” said Dana Johnson, chief economist for Comerica Bank in Dallas.

“Everything the Fed, the FDIC and the Treasury do doesn’t always work out right but back in October we came within an eyelash of having a truly horrible collapse of our financial system, said Johnson, a former Fed senior economist. “They used their creativity to help the worst-case scenario from unfolding and I’m awfully glad they did it.”

Federal Reserve officials project the economy will keep shrinking until at least mid-year, which would mark the longest U.S. recession since the Great Depression.

The following table details how the Fed and the government have committed the money on behalf of American taxpayers over the past 20 months, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

The Eagle Quakes...

Bookmark and Share
Print
"Aquila" in Latin means "eagle", the animal that symbolizes America.



Is the earthquake in L'Aquila, Italy a portent of some sort of a historical earthquake for America?

Consider the following excerpt from an article I wrote a long time ago:


To begin with, consider the following excerpt from Moira Timms' chapter on "Astrological Cycles" in her book, 'Beyond Prophecies & Predictions':


If a star map is superimposed over the Earth with the pole star placed over the terrestial North Pole, we have a celestial clock making one revolution daily. The noon point of that map (like Greenwich) is the Great Pyramid of Giza. Thousands of years ago, Egypt was known as the Land of Khem. The Khema were a group of seven major stars (in the constellation of Taurus), known today as the Pleiades. If the map is placed with the Khema over the Land of Khem (Egypt)- specifically, directly over the apex of the Great Pyramid- then Taurus falls over the Taurus Mountains of southern Turkey; Ursa Major, the Great Bear, rambles over Russia; the head of Draco the Dragon coils up over China; Orion (the warrior) over Iran/Iraq; Aries the Ram over Rome, and Capricorn (identified with the god Pan) falls over Panama, Panuco, and Mayapan (the old name of the Yucatan). Aquila the Eagle spans the United States. The analogies are obvious, and quite impressive. This is one of the clearest examples of the law of "As Above, So Below".


Given how certain constellations symbolize the nations that have emerged in our world, God may signal the rise and fall of given nations with heavenly signs associated with nations' respective constellations. An impressive example of this was pointed out in a long-forgotten book entitled "Cheiro's World Predictions" (1928).

Cheiro, a famous astrologer during the early part of this century, noted in his book that, on June 8th, 1918, a bright supernova appeared in the constellation of Aquila the Eagle, which signifies the United States. As reported at the time: "The brightness of Nova Aquilae in its early days was greater than that of any Nova since the year 1604". What is even more remarkable is that June 8th saw the only solar eclipse in the year 1918, and this eclipse was conjunct Jupiter, the planet of rulers, and squared by Mars, the planet of war.

The solar eclipse and supernova in Aquila the Eagle in early-June of 1918 coincided with the United States entering the Great War in Europe (i.e., World War I) at the time and the subsequent turning point in that war. By July of that year, American troops backed the Allies in starting to reverse the gains made by Germany and the Central powers up to that point, and, by November of 1918, the tide has turned completely with Germany's surrender and an Allied victory.

Thus, a profound and rare astronomical event occurred- the supernova in Aquila the Eagle along with a solar eclipse- in June of 1918 that marked a critical juncture at which the United States started to become an important world power. American involvement in the European war in 1918 was the first time the U.S. took on the role of a world power. From that time on, the rise of the United States to the ruling world power of the contemporary age began. This historical turning point for America was reflected in the sky according to the law: "As Above, So Below".





Meanwhile, note that while the DJIA is trading around the psychologically important 8000 mark and may soon reverse,



....the Japanese Nikkei is near the 9000 mark:



The Hong Kong Hnag Seng is at the 15,000 mark:



The French CAC-40 is around the 3000 mark:



The UK FTSE is just above the 4000 mark:



The Canadian TSX is near the 9000 mark:



And the Dow Transports are near the 3000 level:



Thus, many of the key world stock indexes are right around psychologically important thousand marks and potentially topping in anticipation of some sort of historical shock.

Dow 8000 & War?

Bookmark and Share
Print
The DJIA is retesting the psychologically important 8000 mark here:



Again, there is a tendency for historical shocks to erupt with reversals from thousand level benchmarks in the DJIA. This subject is overviewed in my Stock Market Crash Alert.

In 1990, following a mid-July reversal from Dow 3000, Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait:



(The DJIA closed at 2999.75 two days in a row on July 16th and 17th and did not close above the 3000 mark for the first time until 1991. On July 17th, Saddam Hussein gave a speech in which he first threatened Kuwait.)

In 2001, with a reveral from Dow 10,000 in early-September, 9/11 occurred:



Obviously, at the current juncture, North Korea needs to be on our radar given the rogue nation's imminent missile test

I am not offering an explanation here for why this phenomenon of mass psychology exists and repeats itself. However, I do believe that the answer as to why will be key to human understanding of reality and our place in the universe. In this light, please take a moment and watch the following video, History's Hidden Engine:
