The Positive Responses – A Call To Action
It’s time folks. This whole enchilada is about to run off the rails. You know it, I know it, and especially “they” know it. The only people who don’t know this are so distracted by life’s insignificant details, and so hopelessly incurious, that they won’t have any clue until their own lives fall apart.
These people will experience the future as if they were blindfolded participants at a free-for-all boxing match. In other words
Until and unless we admit we have a problem, there will be no hope of repair or recovery. It doesn’t matter what the problem is – alcoholism, addiction, infidelity, lying, cheating, stealing – recovery begins by admitting that a problem exists.
Which means we need to talk about betrayal and the many ways we are being betrayed, and are even betraying ourselves. It won’t be an easy conversation to hold, but it’s entirely necessary.
The alternative is the equivalent of an Alcoholic Anonymous meeting that has decided to eliminate 11 of the steps and just go with one step; “Hey, in this meeting we just pretend nothing’s wrong and we keep on drinking.” Sadly, this exact one-step program is oversubscribed in many communities.
Until and unless that happens, you, we, all of us need to be prepared for more, not less, violence. We should expect more business-as-usual decisions not fewer. We should anticipate more distressed people doing increasingly desperate things, such as checking out via drug use and other addictive behaviors.
You may have overlooked or ignored betrayals – small or large – in your personal life that will now exert themselves to the front of your mind. You may lash out at your betrayers, be they at work, These will take over and shape your destiny, so our advice is that you should get out in front of them.
You will need additional tools to clear these out, manage them, and work with whatever other emotional stressors in your life so you can continue to move forward, grow, develop and have a happy and full life.
If you are ready to learn how to improve and strengthen your emotional capital then…

Executive Summary
- The source of leverage being used to manipulate us
- The powers that be have a much weaker hand than we realize
- The increase use of force to control the system will ultimately undermine it
- What options are available to those who want to free themselves from this supression?
If you have not yet read Part 1: Upon The Next Crisis, The Rules Will Suddenly Change available free to all readers, please click here to read it first.
In Part 1 we surveyed the dynamics driving ever-expanding state control, the state’s priorities in crisis management (secure the state’s authority and the wealth/power of elites) and the authorities’ current preference for indirect control of the market.
Leverage and the Market as a Signifier
Markets are no longer markets—they are simulacra of markets, displaying the superficial appearance but not the dynamics and uncertainties of real markets, which have an unnerving tendency to veer away from the state-approved scripts of permanent, stable expansion.
Why have central banks and states (which includes blocs of nations such as the Eurozone with a centralized governing elite) chosen to cloak their control of markets?
The answer is has two parts: 1) central banks/states must leverage their intervention due to the monumental scale of global markets; owning assets worth hundreds of trillions of dollars is at best awkward in the current arrangement and at worst politically impossible.
While financial leverage is a relatively straightforward tool, 2) the real leverage is exerting psychological control over the market by transforming market price action into a signifier (i.e. signaling mechanism) that persuades participants to…
