I see an economic diasater coming...

Although, who knows why or what the outcome will be.

There may be light at the end of the tunnel.

Oh, really...   The title/name of the placard/file is at the usual bottom left of the displayed message:  church4.(jpg?)
My point is:   

I.    Don't.    Take.    MODERN.    Religious.    Predictions.    Very.    Seriously.
(I write it like that to make the assertion that I want to state something strongly.)

      Please be aware:
This isn't a church, it's a 'Web blog board posting service. ( www.overunity.com )

      I started this thread with the intention of keeping anything religious in wordage out of any discussion.   I have my own beliefs and I resent anything religious, here.      No.    Proselyting.     The board rules here at Overunity SHOULD maintain that religion should not be promoted on this 'Board.   I would put that statements into the Rules, anyway.   (By not advertising who the organization is who made the prediction.   Only the file name in the bottom left corner.)

      Okay?

      I didn't vote Trump and he MAY only doing what he's told to do and say, anyway.   I think everyone, in the greatest length of time, possible, will reach a placid state of existence, regardless of the difficulty from the journey to get there. 

       All the above being written, I have always PERSONNALLY made the prediction of what this religious group made, themselves.
I just did it when I started this thread years ago.   NOW; only now, are they saying the same thing?

       Sure; fine.   I agree with them---I just wouldn't couch it in, or make it in any---what I ASSERT---is in an offhanded way.

triffid,
       Okay, then, I'll let everybody in on what I really came here to write:

https://foreignpolicy.com/2012/01/17/how-chinas-boom-caused-the-financial-crisis/

       Right.   I kinda like the gist of the story, because I really believe the Chinese communists are motivated by monetary greed and potential world domination by any means they can contrive.   

So, then, does anyone agree?

And this is different of what the US is doing? China is not invading oil producing countries though...

Belfior,
       Okay, you're literally right, they're not invading someone else's country.   They're trying to bully their way to getting what they want on the high seas, though, aren't they?   Like with Taiwan and Japan?
       Here's more of what they're doing:

http://www.newagebd.net/article/49680/10-years-after-the-financial-crisis

       They can attempt to take over the world economically.   Given enough time, I think they can.   Shortly, I'm getting an engineering R&D job for a particular firm in downtown San Francisco.   

       (Co. name and address is personally classified.)

       In regards to my future work, and, as merely a personal opinion I'll be working on electronic design studie(s).   Just so you know---and---it's just my opinion.   I will have made the Co.'s upper management aware of the article I've just uploaded, as well.   I think they might take a/the "hint".

       Finally, Belfior, I'd like to point out that a friend told me that organized crime in more than one form; and in just about every country, owns and runs the world.
       So, the American Gov't. in just as guilty, as well, for the same reason(s), above.   The American country and economy WILL fail eventually, and nothing can stop it.   IMHO.

       'It's only a matter of time', as the old saying goes, and the  power brokers/money men   are stalling for all the time they can, and they should know it, IMO.   The "fall" will only be that much farther and the final landing that much harder, is all.

Yes it is the 1% that runs the matrix. They are everywhere and they have their own agendas.
