It happened again today and just about crashed the market a computer glitch at a brokerage triggered a spike in volatility shortly after the open. This is happened before with everyone on edge it won't take much to start a panic that they can't stop.

It's a pending economic collapse when your neighbor is starving.

It's a current economic collapse when you're starving.

"as if it is some massively hyped event that they will be able to point to on the calendar"

IMO, this is true. It is human nature.

There was no declaration of war in Iraq as the congress didn't arise as one and say "We declare war." There were no WMD in Iraq because there was no building with a blinking neon sign that said "WMD HERE."

I remember many years ago there was a national folly called 'Hands Across America' where people were to hold hands and form a single line of joined humans from sea to sea. The million hippie grasp was scheduled for noon eastern. I had a birds eye's view of the line in my neck of the woods. LOL ! It was a laugh riot. You could see the look of expectation on peoples faces at the stroke of twelve as if the clouds would open to mark the happening.

I believe this is it. This is what it looks like. It will change and morph and get more dramatic but this is it. It has happened.

I keep thinking - and hopefully I'm completely wrong on this - that, as an "October Surprise", Bam & Co. are going to pull the plug on the economy, and as it crashes peeps will riot in the streets (because their EBT's no worky), and martial law will be invoked along with no elections.

I put nothing past this regime.

The collapse will begin upon the re-election of the Obmanation (if, alas, it happens). I expect the stock market to plummet.
