Well, if you want some more speculation on this, it can be found on Jim Sinclair’s website:


Did The FINAL WAR Just Start?

Posted August 13th, 2015 at 5:10 PM (CST) by Jim Sinclair & filed under Bill Holter.

Dear CIGAs,

The question of our title is very important, “Did the FINAL WAR just start?”. If you polled Americans on this question, 99.9% would answer “no” if you took out the Middle East. Last week I wrote “The Rumblings of War” regarding the IMF rebuffing China’s entry into the SDR. This was followed up by “The shot heard ’round the world” on Tuesday commenting on China’s surprise devaluation. The purpose of this writing is to show you YES, we are in fact at war! Rather than “tell” you we are at war, I feel it is better to point out a few dots, connect some of them and then ask a few questions which might help you understand the war that is in fact being waged. If you can answer some of the questions then connecting dots and forming your own conclusions will be easier.

As our backdrop, we are “told” the world is in recovery from the very bad experience of 2008. Since then, various central banks have monetized debt on a massive scale, led by the Federal Reserve of the U.S.. Undoubtedly, the greatest “export” from the U.S. has been dollars themselves and financial products known as derivatives. For the most part, the world spun merrily until last fall when Saudi Arabia decided to increase production and lower prices. This was presumably done at the request of the U.S. and meant as a tool to injure Russia’s energy sector, economy and financial system. Can the petrodollar which became accustomed to $100 oil be supported with sub $50 oil? There are two sides to this coin, yes the consumer of oil saves but doesn’t lower oil price mean less liquidity in the system? Doesn’t it mean lower velocity and less demand for dollars?

Moving along, did anyone really wonder “why” or what (or better yet, WHO) was behind China being put off for acceptance as a component of the SDR? Then just two trading days later, China devalued their currency in a surprise move…followed by two more devaluations! Remember, the U.S. has been prodding China to strengthen their currency and has gone so far as to call them a “currency manipulator”! Now we see China doing the exact opposite of U.S. requests (demands?). World markets have been shaken, and at a time when liquidity is quite tight.

Saw the video, looks like an initial massive fire, followed by two giant explosions.

I really doubt it was low-yield suitcase nuke. For two reasons: 1) even a 0.02 kT nuclear explosion would result in a pulse of electromagnetic radiation that would immediately wipe out every cellphone or electronic device within 1 km of the explosion or disable it, and 2) the initial heat pulse from the explosion would have vaporized many of the containers within 200-300 meters of the explosion point.

Earlier reports were that this was a hazardous chemical storage facility. Perhaps nuclear waste too (the reports didn’t say what sort of chemicals were stored there). So there could have been all sorts of nasty things stored there. When it blew it spread the stuff all over the place...

In 1947 there was a massive explosion in Texas caused by ammonium nitrate (fertilizer) loaded in the freighter Grandcamp. Reading the China explosion headlines brought the Texas disaster to mind. Details at the following site:

A lot of hoopla over something that just killed 50 people, the must be more to the story that the aren't telling.

There I combined the obligatory 'Doubting Thomas' FReeper post with a additional sprig of sarcasm! ;-)

Hillary discovered that her hacked emails were stored there.

End of story.

I read that there was 700 tons of sodium cyanide at this place. Chemistry not being my strong point, I had to look that up.

💀, that stuff will kill ya dead pretty quick.

Some more info regarding hazards facing clean up efforts from this article at the International Business Times.
