How the Equity Markets Will Crash – Chart-Technical Analysis
As you know, all equity markets are currently rigged. The physical investors have, by and large, left the stock exchanges since 2008 and the share prices are since then manipulated by coordinated, rigged electronic trading done by a few US and other Western big banks and funds. Until they crash them in a controlled manner as the Twin towers. And we are exactly at this point in time now.
We have now a triple peak in DJ, Nasdaq and in all other major indices, such as FTSE, Nikkei and DAX in the last 4-5 months, since the beginning of this summer, with an extreme sharp 3rd peak in the last two weeks of October.

It is a very short and highly explosive equity bubble, created by rigged electronic trading on a large scale by a few big banks and funds.

What this past week’s US election shows, however, the MoFA in this report says, are that all of the Republican and Democratic Party candidates for office (Federal and State) were funded by just forty-two people who were responsible for nearly a third of Super PAC monies raised, and only 666,773 wealthy individuals out of a nation having a population of over 319 million.

This was an election that had a significantly large number of food and food safety issues on various state ballots. The election was rarely discussed from this perspective so I thought it might be useful to consider what just happened.
From GMOs to Soda Taxes, Here's What the Election Means for Your Fridge
I am continually struck by the social damage done to the human societies of the Earth because of the abounding grotesque economic inequities. Just look at the United States: There are numerous CEOs making more in an hour than a skilled craftsman whose work may become historically significant can make in a lifetime. And particularly I do not understand why it is not generally understood that seeing that children are fed and educated will change things for the better for everyone.
