DAVOS DEPRESSION: SOROS PREDICTS DEVASTATING DEFLATION, REPEAT OF 2008


The Dollar Vigilante | JANUARY 23, 2016 | JEFF BERWICK 



In Davos, billionaires plot ways to consolidate power under one government, but in Acapulco Mexico, late in February, we will meet together to discuss how to create seven billion separate governments!

That’s what anarchy is all about, the ability of each individual to be in charge of his or her own life without predetermined restraints. If you injure someone or damage something, you’re responsible. Otherwise, society has no claims on you, certainly none enforced by the power of the state. There is no state ….

That’s much different than Davos where hundreds of seriously wealthy control freaks are meeting together to figure out how to promote global government that will have a claim on each and every one of us. Don’t do what they tell you to do and you are fined, jailed or worse. That’s “civilization” – Davos style.

When they are not gathered together in fancy restaurants quaffing expensive wines and eating fine food, the old men (mostly men) of Davos are “brainstorming” new ways to confuse and frighten us.

The idea is that we are to be afflicted with worse and worse disasters and as a result, convinced to turn to them – the Davos conclave – for salvation and hope.

And this is surely the reason for Davos attendee and billionaire George Soros’s pronouncements regarding the world economy, which made news recently for the extent of their alarmism.

Soros and another Davos attendee, William White are warning we are on the cusp of collapse. You’d think they just discovered yesterday that bad things were about to happen.

Earlier this week we wrote about White, the former chief economist of the Bank for International Settlements, who labeled 2016 a debt Jubilee year and basically predicted the shattering of the world economy. You can read what we wrote here.

Now comes billionaire Soros claiming that “the world is running into something it doesn’t know how to handle.” His statements hit the wires around the world and resulted in a BusinessInsider post profiling Soros’ “bearishness” with some choice quotes.


“We are repeating [2008],” Soros said during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in an interview with Bloomberg TV. The root cause of the crisis is different this time, however. In 2008, it was the subprime crisis in America. This time, it is China and the deflationary forces it is transmitting to the rest of the world.
There’s the same old bogeyman that they like to roll out. This time it is “China,” which we have recently explained is not the culprit for this coming mess… and “deflationary forces”.

They purposefully try to confuse people with inflation/deflation. They want people to think the symptoms of inflation (rising prices) is inflation itself… and it happens inexplicably! Inflation is the increase in the money supply (aka. money printing). This causes prices to rise. But the root-problem isn’t rising prices; the root-problem is the increase in the money supply by the central banks.

And, it’s the same for deflation. When markets are blown up to bubble-like levels by money printing and then begin to fall, they call that “deflation” and say that is the problem. It’s not. The problem is that the increase in the money supply will eventually create a bubble, which will eventually collapse.

But you will NEVER hear that from the old men muttering to each other in Davos. They don’t want you to know that THEIR actions create the market crashes that they are now grimly warning us about.

He goes on to add in another red herring, oil!


The issue is that China’s problems are being passed on to the rest of the world. “It’s one of the sources of deflation,” Soros said. “You’ve got basically three major root causes. One is China, the other is oil and raw material prices, and the third is competitive devaluation,” he added. “You have all three.”

As we also explained earlier this week, the price of energy getting cheaper could not possibly destroy an economy. How could it?

At Davos, they want to point the blame at everyone but the true culprit: themselves. They are the true financial terrorists. And what is the answer they will present to save the world? You guessed it, print more money!

European stocks rebounded this week after the European Central Bank essentially said that is what they would do. And, next week, the Federal Reserve meets to decide on how to manipulate the price of money (interest). If they also become “dovish” – which is a funny word to describe manipulating interest rates lower and counterfeiting money – we could see a short-term rebound in the markets… but it won’t last.

This system is in collapse, and quite likely a planned collapse, to cause worldwide chaos in order for the elites to garner more power and control as a dumbed down and impoverished populace (dumbed down by government public education and impoverished by governments and central banks) clamor for someone to do something.

The truth of the matter is that the people of the world need to wake-up to this con game and stop supporting governments and central banks and move their assets into gold, silver and bitcoin.

At Anarchapulco and its sister conference. the TDV Internationalization and Investment Summit, we’ll be discussing these issues. We won’t waste our time with scare tactics and how to figure out ways to rule the world. We’ll discuss ways to DEFEND ourselves from the tactics being plotted at Davos and elsewhere.

We’ll write about what we discover in our TDV newsletter (subscribe today here) and we’ll try to spread the word through videos and radio interviews.

The path for humanity is clear… and it won’t be long until enough people figure out what is going on and rid the world of these heinous governments and central banks. But, most people will likely go through the pain of the collapse before they recognize the problem.

We plan to be one step ahead of them and not only recognize the problem but protect our assets and profit from the collapse.

Call Anarchapulco the “Anti-Davos” Conference.

Stop killer robots before it is too late, scientists tell Davos forum

Yahoo News By Michel Sailhan | January 22 2016



Davos (Switzerland) (AFP) - The world must act quickly to avert a future in which autonomous robots with artificial intelligence roam the battlefields killing humans, scientists and arms experts warned at an elite gathering in the Swiss Alps.


Rules must be agreed to prevent the development of such weapons, they said at a January 19-23 meeting of billionaires, scientists and political leaders in the snow-covered ski resort of Davos.

Angela Kane, the German UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs from 2012-2015, said the world had been slow to take pre-emptive measures to protect humanity from the lethal technology.

"It may be too late," she told a debate in Davos.

"There are many countries and many representatives in the international community that really do not understand what is involved. This development is something that is limited to a certain number of advanced countries," Kane said.

The deployment of autonomous weapons would represent a dangerous new era in warfare, scientists said.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Terminator" movies popularised the idea that AI and killer ro …

"We are not talking about drones, where a human pilot is controlling the drone," said Stuart Russell, professor of computer science at University of California, Berkeley.

"We are talking about autonomous weapons, which means that there is no one behind it. AI: artificial intelligence weapons," he told a forum in Davos. "Very precisely, weapons that can locate and attack targets without human intervention."

- Robot chaos on battlefield -

Russell said he did not foresee a day in which robots fight the wars for humans and at the end of the day one side says: "OK you won, so you can have all our women."

But some 1,000 science and technology chiefs including British physicist Stephen Hawking, said in an open letter last July that the development of weapons with a degree of autonomous decision-making capacity could be feasible within years, not decades.

British scientist Stephen Hawking signed an open letter in July 2015 warning against the development …

They called for a ban on offensive autonomous weapons that are beyond meaningful human control, warning that the world risked sliding into an artificial intelligence arms race and raising alarm over the risks of such weapons falling into the hands of violent extremists.

"The question is can these machines follow the rules of war?" Russell said.

- 'Beyond comprehension' -

How, for an example, could an autonomous weapon differentiate between civilians, soldiers, resistance fighters and rebels? How could it know that it should not kill a pilot who has ejected from a plane and is parachuting to the ground?

"I am against robots for ethical reasons but I do not believe ethical arguments will win the day. I believe strategic arguments will win the day," Russell said.

The United States had renounced biological weapons because of the risk that one day they could deployed by "almost anybody", he said. "I hope this will happen with robots."

Alan Winfield, professor of electronic engineering at the University of the West of England, warned that removing humans from battlefield decision-making would have grave consequences.

"It means that humans are deprived from moral responsibility," Winfield said.

Moreover, the reaction of the robots may be hard to predict, he said: "When you put a robot in a chaotic environment, it behaves chaotically."

Roger Carr, chairman of the British aerospace and defence group BAE, agreed.

"If you remove ethics and judgement and morality from human endeavour whether it is in peace or war, you will take humanity to another level which is beyond our comprehension," Carr warned.

"You equally cannot put something into the field that, if it malfunctions, can be very destructive with no control mechanism from a human. That is why the umbilical link, man to machine, is not only to decide when to deploy the weapon but it is also the ability to stop the process. Both are equally important."

DAVOS INSIDER: WORLD ECONOMY DOOMED, CENTRAL BANKS ‘OUT OF AMMO’

Kit Daniels | Infowars.com - JANUARY 22, 2016



A top banker and Davos insider recently admitted that an economic collapse is imminent because the central banks have lost control and are completely out of ideas.
