Former Hedge Funder’s Fearful Forecast: We‘re Looking at ’The Biggest Economic Shock the World Has Ever Seen’ & There’s Nothing We Can Do to Stop It
Former co-manager of the GLG Global Macro Fund Raoul Pal has joined the growing chorus of economists who believe the global economy is headed in the absolute wrong direction.
What does the Goldman Sachs alumnus see on the horizon?
Mr. Pal, who writes for The Global Macro Investor, a research publication intended only for larger institutions, hedge funds, and family offices, believes that a global banking collapse and massive defaults will bring about “the biggest economic shock the world has ever seen” — and there’s nothing we can do to stop it.
Well, that’s pretty dire. Does he have anything to back up his claims?
We’re glad you asked. Without further explanation, here is “The End Game,” Pal’s impressively comprehensive (and grim) presentation on the current state of the global economy:

Author’s note: The final slide in the presentation isn‘t saying that we’ll revert to the economic activity of 3000 years ago. Rather, it is a reference to trade links between nations along the Indian Ocean that are thousands of years old. Pal believes this is where the opportunity is. Why? Because they have ”low debts, high savings and a young population,” as Business Insider points out.
Thanks to Pal for letting us post his material.

Posted on June 2, 2012 at 10:22pmThis guy, Pal, is only one of many who are all saying the same thing, basically. Probably the person who has been more accurate in his forecasts than the other top economists is Gerald Celente, trendsresearch.com, although Peter Schiff has been spot on many times also.
I recall prior to the collapse in 08 Schiff was on one of the cable business channels with three other financial types, predicting that the housing bubble was about to burst, the stock market was going to take a big hit, and that gold was going to sky rocket in value, and they all laughed at him.
Well, he‘s saying now that we’re headed for a bigger crash than 08, which is in agreement with Celente and a lot of other knowledgeable people, including Pal above. Glenn has been saying for at least 4 years now to prepare…prepare…prepare…He says almost exactly what Pal is pointing out.
Economist Marc Faber said our chances of another recession is 100%.
Celente was on a radio interview just a few days ago warning that people are ill-prepared for for the impending financial catastroph and he ridiculed that, “We are in danger of collapsing economicaly….soon…and the talking heads on T.V. and the news media are giving more news space to gay marriage than to the dominoes that are now beginning to fall in Europe.”
Like all multicultural empires, this one is on the way out.
Many areas of this country will secede. And there will be civil war.

For those who may not know, the Iraqi dinar currency get rich quick is, yep you guessed it, a scam. Currency trading involves very high risk!
Whatever happens, and certainly some malady is most likely imminent world wide, it will not be orderly and I suspect war will break out. In fact it‘s the unstated or implied logical conclusion of Pal’s presentation. It’s a bit daunting when you think about China, Russia and Islamic countries trying to take advantage of the situation. Especially Russia. It’s tough to imagine everyone clutching to one another dragging the other down quicker. At some point it’s not far fetched to imagine the war machine cranked up and screaming. Financial collapse would certainly be a hindrance to those waging war but not impossible, at least for a time. Which really scares me. How would you react if you were facing imminent demise? You would be very dangerous I’m sure. It would be the most terrible of all wars.

Posted on June 3, 2012 at 1:34pmMuch of what is written in this article has merit, however, they left out one of the most important tidbits of information. What did they leave out? They left out what will be one of the biggest stories in American and World History in 2013; the RV of the Iraqi Dinar. Want to know how this world economic disaster will be averted and how George W.Bush will become not only vindicated but also how the removal of Suddam will have ushered in a debt free America more prosperous than it‘s been in it’s 225+ year history? Right now the Iraqi Dinar is priced at 1/10 of ONE PENNY per Dinar. So if you had $1,000,000 in Dinar (currently about $1000.00 USD) when the RV happens (Dinar goes to $3-$4 per dinar) you’ll have 3million – 4 million overnight. The U.S has so many dinars that 16 trillion in debt would be wiped out. Don’t believe me? I’m not surpised; it’s the one of the best kept secrets ever. Banks don‘t want their employees knowing about it because they’d all quit once the RV happens and they became millionaires. So they “scoff” at the Dinar. In a weird way, Bush and America will have saved the world. Don’t believe me? Did you know two weeks ago we paid China in Dinars instead of Dollars for interest payments? Of course you didn‘t know because our President doesn’t want Bush to get praise and JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, W-Bank don’t want to loose all of their employees overnight. Iraqi has SO much untapped exploration and potential it’s mindblowing.

As the European bond markets collapse and the Euro zone implodes, then investors will flee to the U.S. dollar for shelter, however things are not much better here. We COULD have been a harbor in this tempest but there are a frightening amount of investors, hedge fund managers, and banks that still have an unbelievable amount of exposure to Europe.
This all being said, I do not believe we are at a point where this catastrophe is irreversible, but our institutions stateside (private and public) have not done anything to prepare for a European default. Our institutions instead have decided to double-down and entrench themselves with failed experiment that is the E.U.

“What most do not understand is that things will look “up” before a collapse here in the States.”
Yes, that’s what has been occurring since the stimulus injection in 08. Celente said that would happen, and they’ll try it again this time before they finally go belly up.
“As the European bond markets collapse and the Euro zone implodes, then investors will flee to the U.S. dollar for shelter, however things are not much better here.”
Yes, that’s happening now, also. The dollar has increased in value while the Euro has fallen.
But, as you say, it won’t last.
“We COULD have been a harbor in this tempest but there are a frightening amount of investors, hedge fund managers, and banks that still have an unbelievable amount of exposure to Europe.”
Right on.
They created the “One World‘ market they wanted and it’s turning out to be their downfall, because when one falls the others come down like dominoes.
“This all being said, I do not believe we are at a point where this catastrophe is irreversible, but our institutions stateside (private and public) have not done anything to prepare for a European default. Our institutions instead have decided to double-down and entrench themselves with the failed experiment that is the E.U.”
Right on.
And they have their own policies to blame, like over spending after a sub-prime mortgage crash.
Because they’re fiddling, Rome will continue to burn.

His foriegn policy is sound, but to people like you, who have allowed the establishment to make you fearful, he is a wimp.
“We must only send our men and women to fight for our country when the mission is clear, every necessary tool needed to win is provided, and we respect the Constitution by declaring war.
Once war is declared, it must be waged according to Just War principles. We should only fight when it’s in our national security interest, and we should no longer do the corrupt United Nation’s bidding by policing the world.” – Ron Paul
To follow the Constitution, according to you, is insane. According to all of you, the Constitution is dangerous. According to you, We should stop being Christians. Christ taught the golden rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” You guys want to do unto others before they have a chance to do unto you. The opposite of what Christ taught.

I don‘t think being the world’s police is our job, of course not, but we lost a LOT of lives to have the footholds we have now, and to give them up, would be folly. Make the world pay us for that footprint then, by withholding foreign aid until it happens, if not, then reduce the footprint to strategic locations only. If we go bankrupt, then it matters not one whit about the military, we’re ALL toast anyway. Do you think the world likes us very much? After we saved their a$$es in WWI and WWII? They still owe us billions. You think the Iranian Govt does not want to “wipe Israel off the map”? Is Israel an ally of the US? Is Iran, N. Korea, Russia, China? We live in a dangerous world, of hegemony and greed, lust for power…our military keeps that in check, for the most part. Should we be everywhere, no, but certain places yes. In Afgan., yes, in Iraq, yes.
I am a Christian too, and try to live by the Golden Rule, our Govt seems to have forgotten that. So, you think Romney is a liberal huh? I guess you have not listened to him lately, he has changed his tune a bit since his Gov, days, but I guess you don’t really care much about that. Don’t call me an anti-Christ, because you do not know me westcoast, I take umbrage to that! It seems that Paul is the only truth talker alive to you guys, and you won’t give another man a chance?

Posted on June 4, 2012 at 8:02amPardon my verbose retort, but I am not finished. I think Paul is a fine man, I also think the same about Romney, too bad you can’t, but that is ok, I won’t attack you for it. As to the economics, we are close to a complete crash, and we bicker about semantics? I think EITHER man would be a better choice to Omarxist, and I will vote for the RNC winner, regardless. But you guys denigrate Romney, to the point of calling him a liberal? I have to laugh, you are out of touch with what he says, here and now. Will he change spots when in power? I doubt it very much. We are in debt to our eyeballs, with no end in sight, and all we do is bicker about the man, and you will not vote for Romney if he wins, giving a win to Oblahblah, go ahead, cut your nose off to spite your face, and take your drivel about Romney and flush it. It may make no difference any way my friends, because in the end, it will not matter who is in charge, this country, and the world, is in DEEP trouble; bankruptcy, war and chaos. It will be every man for himself, and I am a man, who will stand tall for faith, freedom, liberty and country. I will DIE a free man no matter what happens!

Of course he has changed his tune, he is running for president afterall. Better to have a candidate that has NOT changed his tune (which is pretty much any other the other candidates). I find it very odd that we are electing a guy who has a total political record of only 4 years…And those 4 years were not very good (romneycare, carbon tax, gun restriction, etc). Mitt Romney would be the second least qualified person ever to be president – Obama being #1. I’ve had enough of this and as you say, Democrats AND Republicans are off their rocker

I dont know what i am going to do…Because of Obama, i would consider voting for Romney if he becomes more of a constitutionalist and at least utters the magic words. I doubt he will though – because he didnt even do it in the primary. Remember, histtory tells us candidates are the most conservative during the primary and then they move to the left when in power…In the case of Romney, that is scary. I wont fault you for voting for romney, but i do fault every single “constitutional conservative” who calls Ron Paul a crazy guy or a nut and then turns around and votes romney.

Ok Soybomb, I can accept and respect your position totally, and I’ve NEVER called Mr Paul a nut, I respect him for his consistency and stands, I’d vote for him no problem. if he somehow pulls out the delegates. I will vote for Romney, he won’t go left IMO, if he does he’s through too! Our major problem is an Economic/Constitutional one…debt (welfare to warfare), taxes, over-regulation, NDAA, Patriot Act, Obamacare, and the plethora of Constitution killing Bills being passed by Progressive pols, massive Govt…it has to stop AND be reversed! As God is my witness, I AM on YOUR side, we are allies, w/out each other we’ve lost – conservative and libertarians MUST unite, hold our noses if we have to, but come together we MUST!!!

I say it is a bunch of BS. I still think that keeping our military spread thin across the world will be bad for us when this economy crashes.
As far as Romney changing to be better? I have said this many times, and I still believe this. If a candidate has to move to the center, left or right in order to win your vote, they are lying to you. Soybomb is right that Romney has just four years with a terrible record toward the Constitution. This is a big problem for me. As far as progressive candidates go, I believe Gingrich would have been a better progressive candidate than Romney, but still, Gingrich would have kept us on the path to destruction with big government policies also. Romney says that he can fix government, you cannot do that. Government needs to just get out of the way, become so small it isn’t even recognizable, and then we may have a chance at a futures as a free country. If not, socialistic misery will continue to take over all of us.

Anyone who denies or doesn‘t believe in this pending collapse doesn’t understand the simple law of gravity. Its comparable to running toward a 3000 foot cliff at 100 miles per hour and believing that somehow after you go off the cliff, the ground doesn’t exist, or you will somehow land lightly on your feet and prance happily away.

Posted on June 11, 2012 at 1:06pmSince Obama came to power DJIA is up over 50% from about 8000 to 12500. That is not only just fine, but far better than under bush who took DJIA from about 11000 down to 8000 during his 8 year reign of error.
DJIA is best way to measure the private sector, so President Obama is spot on as over 100 million investors have money in stocks, funds, 401k and annuities.
With cooperation from the pub congress, we could be doing better, but they won‘t pass Obama’s job’s bill, even though over 12 million Americans are looking for jobs.

Posted on June 2, 2012 at 6:31pmSicBoy – I don’t agree! Let me put it in terms you can understand – take Welfare for example!
If you think I will vote for a Man that will cut welfare entitlements – your wrong – I will not and Reagan would not – in fact Reagan increased what Welfare recipients received and still cut Welfare by half.
At the time, when Reagan was running for his first term – the US was spending $47,000 per recipient per year to dish out “1” entitlement – 1 Recipients only received $5000 to $6000 a year. The rest when to BIG Government. $47,000 to give out $6000! Does anyone see anything Wrong here!
Reagan cut the $47,000 per year down to under $20,000 to dole out 1 entitlement of $5000 to $6000 – then he increased what the recipient received and life was good. Today, we spend over $100,000 to pay just one recipient the $9000 or 10,000 they receive.
Even Clinton benefited with a Balance budget in his second year – thanks to Reagan cutting the size of Government in his 8 years – you don’t balance a Budget over night as the Media wanted everone that Clinton did it in two years – BS!
Most Politicians and News Media don‘t understand economics and they can’t add, subtract or divide.
Thank God – Reagan could and he earned the Welfare and Conservative Vote because he could take any budget and divide it by the number of recipients – cut the biggest part – that is waste.
Thus you have what is known as a Compassionate Conservative Republican!

You are right. Watching CSPAN during the Bush Presidency, I watched time and time again when the Demcorats would filibuster any Republican legislation that they disagreed with.
You know it takes 60 votes in the Senate for important legislation to pass. Well for two years of the Obama Presidency they had exactly that. 60 Dem. We got the Health Care shoved down our throats because the Republicans had no way to stop it.

#1. It is GLOBAL… NOBODY is on great financial footing… the world is bankrupt and everyone is forming their alliances… making deals with devils, etc…
#2. Our Grandparents lived during a time in America where God was still at the forefront… where you could talk to stranger B and have some basic things in common, one of them being your belief in GOD… the average person out there today on the streets of our cities or our next door neighbors in the suburbs… is not remotely comparable to those of the “Greatest Generation”.
#3. They still lived in a SANE world. A world that made sense… for the most part. Even progressive Presidents of the era could only NUDGE us so far… even though their programs would ultimately lead us to where we are today, facing a nightmarish monetary situation…
This won’t be another Great Depression… this will be another Dark Ages… if we’re lucky. God will give us miracles… so will we see those times or will God give us a cushion to land on… one that is so far out of our capacity to understand that man could never even begin to hope for in any amount of detail…

Generally there are two types of scenarios for any disaster, one where the federal government is able to keep control and one where they do not. There are shades of grey in between.
What is necessary for control? Man power, supplies to function, credibility.
The number one priority in a serious national emergency will be “Continuance of Government”. That necessitates the halt of the free market system in lieu of government control per the reminder recently seen in Obama’s Executive order based on the Defense Production Act of 1950. Let’s use gasoline for an example.
Oil platforms must keep pumping, the ships must keep taking the oil to the refineries, the workers at the refineries and the platforms MUST keep doing what they do and the trucks must deliver it where they are told (probably military facilities). Knowing that we only can produce ½ the oil we use each day, who do you think will draw the short straw? How long before organized groups start trying to take down the supply convoys for their own gain? The same can be applied to electricity, common water supplies, sewage, medical care and agriculture.
If you are in one of those fields, you will be ordered to work, if necessary, under the threat of military arrest and detention. You will also be “taken care of” with the supplies necessary to keep you at your post, but don’t expect to be free or with your families. Be ready for it.

The Feds recently scrapped the long gun registry which means that access to “long guns” is as it once was. The rural areas have just as many armed citizens as thier US counterparts.

Posted on June 2, 2012 at 3:41pmHere are some questions for you.
IF it is as bad as it seems then why??
1. Is the government pushing programs like SSI and even advertising with commercials on tv?
2. I have also seen commercials on tv in the state I’m in on getting a state job.
3. Extending unemployment
4. Pushing other big government programs, like welfare, handouts for immigrants, etc.
If it’s all going to collapse and they know it, are they artificially propping things up right now by printing government money for these programs OR are they trying to hurry up the collapse?
OR are they scaring people and we really have tons of money???
NONE of it makes any sense!
Okay here is the fact: You CANNOT believe a word the media tells you any more!! We have a false media so we don’t know who to believe! I just read and article that said Obama has spent more than the last 5 presidents….OR Obama has spent less than the last 5!!!

Posted on June 2, 2012 at 8:30pmI’m not sure what someone who lives in an urban apartment is going to do with farm equipment or seeds…. Gold? Silver? Don’t you need LOTS of money to buy large quantities of those? Guns & bullets? Do you have more than your local police dept., national guard, or the US Army?
If such a disaster were to strike, most people will just have to work things out for themselves. All the preparation in the world is useless – unless you are rich enough to build a fortress in the country and have it very well stocked. And even then, the Authorities have more guns and bigger guns than you – and a whole lot more ammo!

Posted on June 3, 2012 at 1:12amTodd demonstrates a common mis-perception: That government is really large and really capable. The reality is FedGov can’t field much over 1 million people if they armed the steno pool, too. The military will be busy with the dozen or so largest urban areas. Local and state police are often also Reservists and will be called in for either active service in those same urban areas, or state service for state capitals and perhaps major utility services. The rest of the cops? They won‘t be getting paid if it’s that bad and even if they are, there just aren’t that many of them and most are not well armed or well trained.
In short, yeah, lots of people are far better armed than anything the government at any level can throw at them short of using missiles and high level bombers. If we’re going to posit things that extreme you are talking about both all out Civil War and trying to bomb this huge nation into submission. Anything is possible but I just don’t see the latter happening.
