CIA Insider Claims 'US Financial Collapse' is Imminent

Should the rise of conflicts across the Middle East and Ukraine serve as a warning sign that something much more dangerous is approaching? According to Jim Rickards, the CIA's Asymmetric Warfare Advisor, the answer is yes. In a startling interview he reveals that all 16 U.S. Intelligence Agencies have begun to prepare for World War III. Making matters worse, his colleagues believe it could begin within the next 6 months.

However, what is being forecast is not a war but is a massive US financial collapse leading to 'a 25 year-long depression' which could 'possibly begin within 6 months'. The link provided points to a (I believe) video of a 46-minute American TV interview with Jim Rickards on a program called "Money Morning".

I, as a European, do not know whether this program is highly regarded or whether this is a interview which has already been discounted by many. Indeed, I do not even know when the program was initially aired. I will leave it to the viewer to make his own decisions. It is also worth noting that Jim Rickards is also using the interview to push his book on the same topic.

    Yeah I tried to play the video and it popped up some "project prophecy" thing about TLAs predicting 9/11. It's the same scam commercial that plays on Fox News at 3PM to scare retirees into buying gold.

    9/11 was predicted by Ron Paul... you can view the footage of his speeches in congress from before 9/11/01 for yourself (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=vpdf_UtvSpE#t=17 [youtube.com]).

    he also predicted the current economic strife and goes into detail about the causes and effects (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=MGgle-nXJl0#t=460 [youtube.com]).

    he was (and unfortunately still is) widely seen as a kook by many who aren't able to read the writing on the wall.

    its also funny that a lot of progressives blame the war in iraq on the republicans... not realizing that many democrats believed the nonsense from the so-called "intelligence community" as well (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=MGgle-nXJl0#t=215 [youtube.com]).

    there's a quite a few gems on youtube about people predicting things... if you're willing to give them a chance you might even realize how and why.
