Link to NewsMax articleThe same Russian government expert who predicted last July that America was about to suffer a "financial attack" -- and encouraged Russian citizens to cash out dollars and buy rubles and gold -- has again surfaced to make more stunning forecasts.
Dr. Tatyana Koryagina gained some credibility in the Russian media because of her prediction of an unusual catastrophe that was about to hit the U.S.
She said it would take place on Aug. 19 and would collapse the U.S. economy.
Koryagina is a senior research fellow in the Institute of Macroeconomic Researches subordinated to Russian Ministry of Economic Development (Minekonom). She is reportedly close to President Putin's inner circle.
On July 12, 2001, Pravda published a Page One story on her predictions entitled "The Dollar and America Will Fall Down on August 19? -- That's the Opinion of Dr. Tatyana Koryagina, Who Very Accurately Predicted the August Default in 1998."
In her July interview, Koryagiuna told Pravda: "The U.S. has been chosen as the object of financial attack because the financial center of the planet is located there. The effect will be maximal. The strike waves of economic crisis will spread over the planet instantly, and will remind us of the blast of a huge nuclear bomb."
Late last month, Pravda re-interviewed Dr. Koryagina to get her take on the events of Sept. 11.
Koryagina made the following key points in an article entitled "Who Will Strike America in Its Back?":
New Strikes Will Come. In the near term, she said, "the powerful group" that masterminded the events of Sept. 11 will make new strikes against America -- of a financial nature and otherwise. She said they will "strike America in the back" and bring it down.
She noted that Americans are consolidating around their government and preparing retaliatory strikes against the "terrorists." However, Americans are trembling about spending. When they understand, after the upcoming new strikes, that their government can guarantee them nothing, they will panic -- causing a collapse of their financial system.
Didn't Make Serious Mistake. About her forecast of July 12, Dr. Koryagina said, "I did not make a serious mistake. Indeed, between August15 and 20, the dollar started trembling under the pressure of multiple bad news about the U.S. and world economy. And within weeks, the Manhattan skyscrapers fell down. As a result, a significant part of the world financial network was paralyzed. This strike was aimed at destabilization and destruction of America and [in domino fashion] all the countries making countless billions of dollars."
The Powerful Group. Who is behind these strikes? Koryagina claims the U.S. is painting a false picture. She said the operation was not the work of 19 terrorists but a larger group seeking to reshape the world. She claimed a group of extremely powerful private persons, with total assets of about $300 trillion, intends to legalize its power and to become the new world government. The Sept. 11 strikes showed that this group is afraid of nothing -- human lives have zero value for them.
Koryagina again encouraged Russian citizens to cash out dollars. The Koryagina claims are not easily dismissed, especially her clear indications in the interview before Sept. 11 that the attacks on America's financial system would be of an unusual nature. Her comments also mirrored similar warnings issued by Russian officials.
Still, this story raises other questions. Did the Russian government know in advance and what was their involvement?
On Sept. 28 the Washington Times reported that "U.S. intelligence agencies have uncovered information that Russian criminal groups have been supplying Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida terrorist network with components for chemical, biological and nuclear weapons."
Of course, the Russian mafia has very close ties with Russia's intelligence agencies.
It is important to note that Russia is a significant backer of almost every state sponsor of terrorism, some with links to bin Laden's group. These include Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, North Korea and Cuba.

Something is fishy here. I didn't even think there was $300 trillion in measurable "wealth" in the world today, yet some group of people is supposed to have this much money?
And if their goal is to collapse the U.S. economy and everything that goes with it, doesn't it make sense that their $300 trillion in assets is going to disappear when these assets lose all of their value?
"We have $300 trillion in assets, including real estate and securities all over the world. We are going to collapse the world's economy so that we can become the new world leaders."
OK, pal. So when the economy of the world collapses and you try to liquidate your "wealth," how much do you think you are going to get for it?
"About $17.38, I would say."
I see. Sounds like a great career move to me. But I must admit that it takes some brains to convince a bunch of guys to kill themselves in a series of terrorist attacks just so you can devalue your own wealth from $300 trillion to $17.38.
My guess is that Dr. Koryagina owns a lot of gold and worthless rubles, and is trying to unload them on someone else.
Only the stock of aluminum manufacturing giant Alcoa will survive...
Let's see . . . Suppose Bill Gates is worth $50 billion. Then 20 Bill Gates would have $1 Trillion. Therefore she's talking about 300 times 20 Bill Gates, or 6,000 Bill Gates . . . hmmm
On the other hand there may be a mis-translation of the word "trillion." I think the French word for our word "million" is "billion." If you take this up a notch she might mean an American billion when she says trillion.
Then this rich group would equal only 6 Bill Gates, not 6,000 . . . .
OTOH, this might all be 100% pure BS, which is where I am leaning . . .
Yep. Nostadamos is the original urban legend. (Okay, maybe not the 'original', but he's the one who put it on the map.)
That's for sure! My eleven year old could make similar predictions. sheesh.
Anyone want some sort of proof, I give you clinton and various hundreds of other people still walking around not in jail. How much proof is really needed after the "impeachment" turned into a serious comedic farce? How about all the 'terrorist clues" that got continually ignored or minimalized?
The politicians and various public personas we rant about or rave about are puppets, they are no more the leaders than my dogs are.
It's like, exactly how many coincidences or really weird government 'explanations" for various disastrous things does it take to get through to people? What do they call it, cognitive dissonance? They accuse the 'conspiracy theorists" of needing 'tinfoil hats", well, that's the pot calling the kettle black anymore, some people won't believe anything until the tanks are on the corner and they hear the screams and the sounds of the doors kicking in, then they might believe that maybe their pre-conceived notions and their "heros" might have been just a tad shady and speaking down to the little peepuls just a scoshe.
Earth to Chris Ruddy: You're losing your credibility...
Now there's some sound financial advice!!! BWAHAHA.
I agree about 150%. However, most people either don't want to know more or cannot handle knowing more, or simply choose to believe everything as is told on national TV.
It's pure crap. Look at Russia's economy and see why the envy and hatred of the U.S. is so strong.
America is our people, our ideas, our beliefs, our values, our strength, and the worlds largest collection of privately-owned guns, not to mention the biggest, intact and best military. The hell with the financial system. If it goes, we'll find a way to survive and to lead the world out of the mess.
Ahhh, the old "New World Order" conspiracy. Dr. "K" must be a freeper. /grin
