Bill Bonner via Acting-Man blog, What If …When we left off yesterday we were worried. What if we have seen the highs in US stocks and bonds – not just for the next five or 10 years… but for the rest of our lifetimes? On Tuesday, the Dow fell 272 points. No big deal, of course. But what if it continues? Just six years ago it fell 51%. It could easily do so again – back down to, say, 8,000. There would be nothing unusual about it. Fifty percent corrections are normal. You know what would happen, don’t you? Ever since the “Black Monday” stock market crash in 1987 it has been standard procedure for the Fed to react quickly. But what if Yellen & Co. got out the party favors… set up the booze on the counter … laid out some dishes with pretzels and olives … and nobody came? What if the stock market stayed down for 30 years, as it has in Japan? A Special and Unusual Time >> almost unbelievable … Every time US stocks have gone down since World War II they’ve bounced back… and hit new highs. We take it for granted that they will always go up over the long run. But why should they? The time between 1945 and 2007 is starting to look less and less like the “way things always are”… and more and more like the “way things were during a special and unusual time.” It was more of an outlier than an average. The world was recovering from World War II. Populations were growing. New markets were emerging. People were starting new families and new businesses. And perhaps most important, the world was just beginning the greatest credit expansion in its history. >> http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-10-09/dow-8000

NO: EUROPEANS COMMITTED GENOCIDE. The beginning was not good and when GEORGE WASHINGTON SLAVE OWNER put his face on the MONEY, we should have known the fate of our "MANIFEST DESTINY" right then and there. SLAVE TRADER TRAITORS'. FULL CIRCLE = ZERO, and that's BALANCE to restore a new order alright, the reality that there isn't an APARTHEID except as is manufactured via the Metzitzah B'peh and Circumcision that cause the BRAIN to disconnect from our own species. American INDIANS have been long-in-the-tooth waiting for NATURE to correct the corruption.
