Systemkrise 2008/2009

The national media frenzy about the U.S. unemployment rate shooting up to 7.6% doesn’t even do justice to the actual unemployment figure, which in reality stands at around 15 per cent, just 9 per cent shy of the unemployment total at the very height of the great depression.

Current methods of tallying unemployment figures do not even take into account workers who have stopped looking for work. If a worker becomes discouraged after being unable to find a job and stops looking, they disappear from the official record.

Actual unemployment figures are therefore 5 to 10 per cent higher than publicly stated by the Labor Department, meaning the real unemployment figures stands at roughly 15 per cent.

During the great depression, where unemployment figures were more accurately inclusive of the true unemployment rate, the figure for the years 1923-29 was 3.3 percent before accelerating to to 15.9 per cent in 1931 and peaking at 24.9 percent in 1933.


If the Labor Department were massaging the numbers to an even greater extent, which certainly isn’t beyond question in light of fragile economic confidence, the real unemployment figure could be anything up to 20 per cent, which is rapidly approaching a comparable rate to the very worst period of the great depression.

Öl wird ca. 1 Jahr auf dem jetzigen niedrigen Stand bleiben, die Steuereinahmen in den USA werden um ca. 75 % einbrechen.

In 9 - 12 Monaten wird der Dollar aufgrund von Hyperinflation zusammenbrechen.
