The snake, of course, represents the current and predominant form of predatory capitalism pervasive throughout most of the world today.

The ongoing plight of the European Union and Eurozone is a quite graphic illustration of the snake of predatory capitalism eating itself to death.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Screen-Shot-2013-04-11-at-5.47.52-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3539\" title=\"Screen Shot 2013-04-11 at 5.47.52 PM\" src=\"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Screen-Shot-2013-04-11-at-5.47.52-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"652\" height=\"442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Screen-Shot-2013-04-11-at-5.47.52-PM.png 652w, https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Screen-Shot-2013-04-11-at-5.47.52-PM-300x203.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 652px) 100vw, 652px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Virtually every manufactured mainstream media event today is a manifestation of major problems within the <em>Global Economic &amp; Financial Control Matrix&#8221;<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Japan&#8217;s multi-decade economic\/financial malaise, China&#8217;s failure to become the global economic engine it was predicted to be, and India&#8217;s seemingly endless difficulties adapting to the 21st century all demonstrate the formidable obstacles facing the GE&amp;FCM.<\/p>\n<p>Russia&#8217;s continual flexing of its energy resource (read oil and gas) muscles, Venezuela&#8217;s (the USA&#8217;s #1 oil supplier) outright hostility toward Yankee imperialism, and the demise of the petrodollar as the preferred exchange currency for global oil purchases also pose enormous challenges for the GE&amp;FCM.<\/p>\n<p>So are the ongoing wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria, and Iran (war of words that the warmongers are relentlessly trying to turn into an outright military attack), as are those numerous armed conflicts over natural resources raging throughout continental Africa. Likewise, the entire Arab Spring phenomenon in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, Algeria, Jordan, Morocco and Sudan is symptomatic of corrupt, corporate, crony capitalism devouring itself on the fringes of its empire.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/?p=4290\">Global Financial Architecture and Economic Systems on Verge of Collapse<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most blatant sign that something is about to happen to the <em>Money Matrix<\/em> is the incessant suppression of gold and silver prices. Artificially manipulating the price of gold downward has never been so obvious, especially in light of the fact that there have been instances of gold-plated tungsten bars floating throughout the gold bullion market. The consequent repatriation of gold by Germany, Venezuela, Romania and Texas are also quite telling of some imminent changes in the future of precious metal commodity trading as well as all fiat currencies.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is the covert and overt abandonment of the U$ Dollar as the world&#8217;s reserve currency which truly forebodes the upcoming dissolution of the <em>Money Matrix<\/em>. With the formation of the BRICS quasi economic and financial union, the re-emergence of ASEAN as a force to be dealt with, as well as the ascendancy of China&#8217;s renminbi as a serious reserve currency player, many deliberate moves are afoot to challenge the once <em>Almighty Dollar<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Undoubtedly, the intensifying and increasing number of currency wars among nations, and especially between the financial superpowers, foreshadow the last gasp of <em>Anglo-American capitalism<\/em>. For anyone who ever wondered what a dog-eat-dog world really looks like, just sit back and watch the show.
