I was pretty sure that when I lived in Ontario it was a province (state) :-) Anyway I'm not getting a 'flu' shot.

BOOM-BUST BY DESIGN, AN ‘ALMOST UNIFIED ECONOMIC FIELD THEORY’

By Tom Dennen

This whole Swine Flu scam is about money: Profit before People, the pursuit of money over any other human concern:

If the love of money is the root of all evil, then it’s easy to see how "Capitalism", the formalized worship of money, has brought us to the current ‘global meltdown’.

This Constantly-Under-Revision-And-Almost-Unified Economic Field Theory of mine will hopefully clarify things,

Revision is the daily polish I put on the economic apple that just recently fell on my head – We’ll have some apple pie and ice cream with lunch, served up after the baked or braaied bankers, your choice.

This ‘meltdown’ is current history and all of that which I mention can be checked, challenged, researched and then wept over because it is the proof that yet another generation of western citizens has simply been parted from its wealth once again.

I’ve condensed western financial history through the last three centuries of middle-class wealth being transferred to the already wealthy, the main function of the Debt-is-Money system called Capitalism:

On average, every forty-six years, for the last three hundred years since the collapse of the South Sea Bubble in the second decade of the1700s, there have been five more commodity peaks in the world's stock markets, followed by a crash, followed by a depression (and the theft of another generation's wealth.)

(Start on page 146 of "The Great Reckoning" by James Dale Davidson and William Rees-Mogg, Sidgwick & Jackson, published, yes, in 1993, when by then we should have known).

Theft is my interpretation of their observation of these last six events: Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a Declaration of War.

Four times is the realization that the Declaration fell on the deaf ears of sleeping fools, five times is simple daylight rape and plunder of the same fools – the sixth time, this time, Grand Theft, Planet©, is perhaps, hopefully, a lesson finally learned, and we wake up?

There has been a clockwork nine-year gap between commodity peaks and market crashes over the last five generations.

Add forty-six years to that (the average number of years between peak and crash) and you have a boom-bust cycle twice every hundred years or once a generation, meaning every generation of working and middle-class citizens, for the last three hundred years has been good and truly and thoroughly plucked:

· First Time: Commodity prices peaked in London in 1711 The South Sea Bubble burst exactly nine years later in 1720.

Depression followed.

· Second time: Producer prices peaked in London in 1763. The London stock market crashed again in 1772 (nine years later).

Depression followed.

· Third time: Commodity prices peaked in London in 1816.The London stock market crashed in 1825 (nine years later).

Depression followed.

· Fourth time: Wholesale prices peaked in New York in 1864. A worldwide assets crash began in May 1873 (nine years later).

Depression followed.

· Fifth time: Then followed our beloved Great Depression in the 30s, about which much has been said, from which, little learned.

· Sixth time: Commodity prices peaked some fifty years later in Tokyo, in 1980. The Tokyo stock market crashed in 1989 (again, nine years later). The depression following that crash is now upon us:

And, in the words of Teddy Roosevelt, "It ain't over yet."

Look around you and do the math: The last depression is called The Great Depression - I call this one ‘Grand Theft Planet', (read it for free on the Internet.)

But do not get sick. And if you do, avoid Big Pharma 'flu vaccines. Please.
