2024: Black Swan Event Coming?
New American Prophet ^ | December 29, 2023 | Michael Snyder

Posted on 12/29/2023 1:34:14 PM PST by Rev M. Bresciani

A “perfect storm” is raging all around us, and our world is so close to plunging into a complete and utter state of chaos that even the mainstream media is talking about it.

The past several years have been a time when multiple major wars have begun, pestilences have paralyzed the entire planet, the worst global food crisis in modern history has erupted, and we have been hit by a seemingly endless series of natural disasters.

The internet was designed to survive a nuclear war. Like that was its purpose.

The internet might go down on your street…but it’s not going anywhere world wide.

Biden coming back from St Croix and announcing he would not be running would be a black swan event. Biden stroking out would not.

Trump having a heart attack would be a black swan. Trump getting knocked off another ballot would not.

It has to be unexpected…but when you look at it in hindsight, it makes sense.

I think Joe Biden’s opening up of the border was a Black Swan event which is still in progress.
I know he said he was going to do it, but I don’t think anyone expected what’s going on right now. At least I didn’t.

By definition a Black Swan Event is an event or occurrence that is extremely difficult to predict. So to all those who are predicting one, be very careful because we may want to discuss why you had prior knowledge of such an event. As we are learning about Covid-19, it seems some planned that one.

A famous FR contributor once said

At least I hope so

A black swan event is a rare and highly impactful occurrence that is beyond what is normally expected of a situation and has potentially severe consequences. The term is based on an ancient saying that presumed black swans did not exist until they were discovered in Australia in 1697.

The term was popularized by former Wall Street trader Nassim Nicholas Taleb, who wrote about the concept in his 2001 book Fooled by Randomness.

Black swan events are characterized by their extreme rarity, severe impact, and widespread insistence that they were obvious in hindsight. They can be classified as positive or negative black swan events and can have profound influences on history and shape the course of events.

Let's pray it is a positive one. 🙂
