OVER THE EDGE … Earthquake-Tsunami-Nukes-Financial cascade - WORLDWIDE CATASTROPHE

LEAD IN TO...

WORLDWIDE ECONOMIC CATASTROPHE?

With a bang and a whimper…

Panicked residents start to flee Tokyo as radiation levels rise after THIRD blast at stricken nuclear power plant

TO WHERE? Where is there food, shelter, water, sustenance for 12 million people which is radiation safe?

AND…. financial markets are feeling the same urge to BOLT ANYWHERE…WHERE IS IT SAFE?

If the purchasing power, production power and consumer power of a Japan is dislocated by EVEN 15-20%, what does it mean?

If a Germany is panicked into killing it’s nuclear power out of a panicked fear denying their UNDENIABLE MATERIAL NEEDS, what is next?

What irrational events in the emotional cascade to oblivion await?

Leaving completely aside the possibility that any radioactive material would make it to U.S. shores (huge debate, I tend to think little if any would but I'M NO EXPERT)

Germany shutting down it's nukes was monumentally stupid as is CNN, MSNBC, FOX, ABC et. al. keep raising the spectre of a nuke catastrophe here and scaring the shit out of everyone. (if you shut them down how quickly can you bring online coal, oil, gas or hydro to replace them? And what happens to energy costs in the meantime? And after?)

When the Japanese finally are able to stabilize their society (and whatever that may look like when the dust settles and waters recede) their demand for food and fuel etc will put enormous strain on already shuddering supplies (don't misunderstand, I would not begrudge them what they need, just stating the obvious)

Meanwhile the situation in and throughout the ME is no better, getting worse in many cases and the media is NOT talking about it. THAT poses more of a threat to the U.S. than what is happening in Japan.

And when U.S. grocery shelves start to look like those pictures abd gas spikes at $5 or $6 or $7 a gallon and they can't afford to heat their homes. . .

It's 1914, we're on the abyss and the ground is about to give out under our feet.

Something like that is certainly the scenario which comes to mind at 3:30 AM.

Or the one where 2 of the 3 largest state banks in the world JUST KEEP PRINTING.

TVs are showing documentaries about it.
