The signs of scamageddon are coming faster and faster it seems.

We must be experiencing some kind of a 3rd wave down for scamonomics.  100 hero cops and fire fighters busted for disability fraud yesterday and now today we find out that Chris Christie's administration punished the citizens of a town with purposeful traffic jams in order to cause political damage to a mayor who would not back him.  It reads like a conspiracy theorist's wet dream but, like many conspiracy theories, it's all true. I don't need to go into the details because you have already read them elsewhere.  I'm only posting to say that there is NO WAY this would ever have come to light a year ago.  Not a chance.  When the easy money was rolling and the credit was flowing, the herd said "go along to get along".  Now that people see that the middle class is well and truly screwed for decades to come, they are starting to talk. 

In every crime, there is always someone who knows something.  He/she might not want to come forward for fear of being called a conspiracy theorist or worse yet, getting branded an enemy of the state and killed in his sleep by the government.  Even the bravest of people are complete cowards that way.  They would dive in front of a bullet to save their brother but they will not speak aloud to tell the truth to the herd.  I've had a few years to think about why it's like that and the only thing I can come up with is that speaking the truth about corruption (what we can think of as "king has no clothes" kind of talk) is a sort of "bravery" that uses a different part of the brain than doing heroic physical deeds.  In fact, the former really isn't bravery at all.  It's a basic lack of caring what the herd thinks.  It's not getting pride hurt when people roll their eyes at you.  It's confidence that you know better and the ability for that confidence to be a sustaining motivator.  Or maybe it's just the social, herding center of the brain that's wired differently, less receptive.

I also think that while people who are in the position to say something might remain quiet because of peer pressure, it hurts them to do so.  They are simply more worried about the consequences of telling the truth and of speaking their minds.  But the effect, I think, is cumulative and our subconscious self is a bitch.  Tacitly aiding and abetting all manner of vile corruption (which goes well beyond simply traffic jams) begins to affect their happiness and quality of life and they don't like it one bit.  They don't like feeling dirty and scared.  So when they start to see the herd turning, when they see a reduction in peer pressure, these repressed people begin to speak up.  The first few get slapped down for the crime of premature timing but as time goes on we get an Edward Snowden moment, a 3rd wave in the turning of the herd. 

That act of self sacrifice got to people more than is commonly understood.  It affected people's brains physically.  It cannot be undone.  Literally millions of people are amazed at his selfless act and at the incredible personal risk he took.  If the US authorities had gotten their hands on him there is no telling what gulag they would have sent him to outside of the US for torture and then a bullet in the head or maybe a good old fashioned CIA drug overdose or perhaps that old classic of just being found in his cell dead one morning of no apparent cause.  He literally went up against the entire US government.  I'm still amazed by it.  He's only the 2nd person I've ever called a hero in my entire 50+ years.  Ron Paul and Edward Snowden, heroes both.

In any case, others saw Snoden's example and they saw that he did not get "suicided" despite best efforts of the US government to lay its bloody, filthy, corrupt hands on him.  These people are starting to speak the truth and they are seeing huge elitist trees begin to topple.  And they literally don't come more huge than Christie! (yes, it's a weight joke.  Christie is a medium-small fish in the corruption game).  As the the debt money runs out, the criminal organizations begin to crumble.  In fact, the credit doesn't even have to go down before the criminals get into trouble.  All it has to do is slow down.  At that point there are too many dirty hands in the cookie jar and some of them have to go.  The weaker marginal players, as usual, get hurt the first and the worst.  It's just like any other Ponzi.

The scum bags in charge in the middle of the chain initially get hit by some leaks here and there, but they have plausible deniabilty.  Still, it starts them running for cover and it causes them to make mistakes.  People within their criminal organizations get scapegoated.   At some point, the scape goats turn state's evidence and the con men suddenly have to stop worrying about political damage and have to start worrying about jail time.  You see, all those people who were put off from saying what they knew.... they now want to wash their consciences.  They want to come clean.  Some will do it without even needing to avoid charges.  They will simply feel like now is the right time.  They really won't understand the dynamics of it and how it was all very predictable to occur once the fake money supply began to hit the skids.  I done several blog posts like this one on the subject.

Right now as I type this blog post there is no talk of jailing anyone either in banking or in our corrupt government.  Before this debt Ponzi collapse is over, that will change in a big way and some very big names will go down in flames and several of the kingpins will go to jail.  I know this because I know that the government and the banks and the military (AKA the military industrial complex) are an organized crime syndicate and they always end the same way.  This will sound ridiculous to many.  They will think that I'm either flat our crazy, simply wrong or just badly overstating. 

We'll see about all that.  I'm on record several times as saying that before this scam is done collapsing that real government connection to 911 will be exposed and the people will finally suspend disbelief about what to me is such an obvious truth.  Generally I end a share price prediction that is that far off the beaten track with "time will tell".  But on this issue, I don't need any time.  I already know.  The fact that the bulk of the herd is still asleep despite the massive evidence does not change anything.  Furthermore, it will come sooner than most people think possible.  The reason: the collapse of the fraudulent money supply will change the way people think, just as I have explained in the pages of this blog for several years now.
