Friday’s American stock market provided further evidence of instability in the nation’s economy, and even as financiers fear a possible fiscal disaster in September, there has been little coverage among U.S. media.
But the state-run media of Russia is warning of what it calls America’s “economic apocalypse.”
The Russian news service Sputnik, an agency launched by Russia’s state-owned Rossiya Segodnya in 2014 to “target global audiences with its non-mainstream take on world events,” predicts doom for the American economy next month.
In a recent article, Sputnik cites several economists warning of catastrophe.
It continues: “Most of the experts agree that all the optimistic data like record earnings on Wall Street and a surging dollar is just disguising fundamental cracks, and the collapse of historic proportions will happen within few months, starting in the U.S.
“No wonder such forecasts, and there are dozens, from professional economists leave U.S. and the world dizzy and shivering in fear and helplessness, just what one would probably feel if the actual apocalypse was coming.”
September 2015 has become the focal point of warnings and speculation because of a strange confluence of events.
These include:
The seven-year, biblical Shemitah cycle ends Sept. 13
The European Organization for Nuclear Research
begins a controversial experiment
Pope Francis arrives at the White House on Sept. 23 and will make an unprecedented address to a joint session of Congress the next day
The fourth and last “blood moon” in the tetrad occurs on Sept. 28, on the biblical Feast of Tabernacles
With temporal, spiritual and economic events lining up for next month, some pastors are urging Christians to be prepared, warning they cannot rely on most American media outlets to report the truth.

Here it comes... looks like it’s ahead of schedule
I hate to say this, as I am fond of several Russian immigrants to this country, but most Russians get exactly what they want from their country’s leadership. Putin is extremely popular, and many Russians look back longingly on the Stalin era.
Russia always looks for the biggest fears running on the internet in the US and reinforces and inflames them with “news” and it’s own hoards of government posters. It’s called destabilizing the US.
If you see a conspiracy theory with no real basis coming from Russia, it’s probably fake in an effort to scare and demoralize you.
