This is an episode of G.I. Joe from 1985 called “Money to Burn.” In the episode, the so-called terrorist organization COBRA, funded by the U.S. corporation named Extensive Enterprises, uses a device to burn up all paper money (Federal Reserve notes). COBRA wants to replace fiat money with their own commodity backed currency. COBRA establishes an Atlas Shrugged inspired Galt’s Gulch in the Rockies to store the tangible assets to back the currency. Basically, the Federal Reserve and the international banking cartel send G.I. Joe to stop COBRA. The episode, just like the entire G.I. Joe series, is full of propaganda. The main propaganda is probably the message that “might makes right.” G.I. Joe is like a disinformation attempt to separate the New World Order from the government, as if they are different. The military is an arm of the New World Order agenda. As Henry Kissinger was once caught saying: “Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy.”

Here is a quote from COBRA Commander: “Attention citizens! Due to the financial irresponsibility and incompetence of your leaders, Cobra has found it necessary to restructure your nation’s economy. We have begun by eliminating the worthless green paper, which your government has deceived you into believing is valuable. Cobra will come to your rescue and, out of the ashes, will arise a NEW ORDER!”

Well, new quantitative easing (money printing/debt monetization) is here. They were just waiting for the election to pass. The Federal Open Market Committee of the Fed said it would buy up to $600 billion in long-term Treasurys until the end of June 2011, including about $75 billion this month. This is the next generation of quantitative easing: it builds upon the $1.7 trillion in mostly housing-related assets the Fed bought up between December 2008 and March 2010. It will be interesting to see what the Fed comes up with once this new hope inevitably fades.

Arch Crawford uses Astrology and Technical Analysis to forecast the stock market. And he has a track record of some good calls. So, his recent forecast is worth mentioning. Starting around August 1, 2010 there is going to be an extreme planetary alignment (Cardinal Climax) that he contends is indicative of a major bad event, and he forecasts a market crash between May 1, 2010 and November 1, 2010. Obviously, Astrology is not a science; it has little precision and is at best a system of identifying dubious relationships between cyclical celestial phenomenon and human behavior. Nonetheless, that isn’t to say that there isn’t something to it. All I know is that even if he is right, it won’t be the end of the world.

Here is a link to an interview with Crawford about the forecast and here is a YouTube video of a guy reading that interview. And here is another article and here is the radio broadcast upon which that article is based (it starts around the 79 minute mark).

Well, November 1, 2010 has passed and the prediction was right if the flash crash is considered the crash, but not right if something bigger was expected. If it wasn’t for quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve, the Dow would probably have slipped below 9000, but it didn’t.
