Follow the money' is always a good idea when investigating people. Don't forget that some anonymous people have wagered around one billion dollars in put-options that one of the DOW indices will fall by at least 30% by the 21st of this month. If they are wrong, they lose it all. People don't gamble money like this without good reason, especially people who have made that kind of money. There are two possible reasons. One is that the Chinese may dump their holdings of American dollars into the open market, which will cause huge instability, if not the actual collapse of the dollar, and the relevant DOW index The other reason might be that the investors know that a huge physical calamity will befall America before that date, which is now about one week away. If something happens, I think it would be safe to say that these put-options are proof of foreknowledge. Just as the put-options placed on the two airlines involved in 9/11 indicate foreknowledge of THAT event.
