Dubious correlation
Highly dubious, but I'm in a dubious mood this morning, so here goes.
Every decade or so we get a Circuit Breaker, an event that removes all the masks of fake "opposition" and allows all the rulers to work together for genocide.
The Swine Flu this year. TARP in 2008. 9/11 in 2001. Fall of USSR in 1990.
The series doesn't extend before 1990 with
similar events. Earlier big events didn't have the same flavor of "opposition" before, consolidation after.
Soros was deeply involved in TARP and 1990, but not obviously part of the other two.
The only constant element in all four is Saudi.
The Swine Flu circuit breaker happened just after Saudi switched sides and joined Russia. TARP supposedly happened because Saudi investors threatened to pull their backing from Wall Street. 9/11 was ALL Saudi. 1990 resulted from our multi-front campaign against Russia, with Saudi playing a major role in running AlQaeda and in cutting oil prices.
The oil shocks of 1973 and 1979 were purely Saudi events, but weren't Circuit Breakers. No consolidation. American people and politicians were free to complain about the shortages.
1990 and 2020 are thus symmetrical. In the '80s Saudi joined USA to cut oil prices to ruin Russia. In 2020 Saudi joined Russia to cut oil prices to ruin USA.
