Also, the central bank raised interest rates as the Ruble fell to a new low. These are very negative signals for the international financial indexes.<\/p>\n<p>Markets also fell in Europe. Germany&#8217;s DAX sank 3 percent, to 9,424. Britain&#8217;s FTSE 100 dropped 1.4 percent, to 6,720. At the same time, the price of gold gained $31.20, or 2.4 percent, to $1,352.60. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.62 percent from 2.65 percent late Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The US stock market is also down, as of mid-day trading by 200 points today, March 3, 2014. In fact, many investors have been waiting for something to trigger a sell-off.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, the Big Money moved to gold at the end of last week when it moved up $30. The financial Elite buy gold in times of increasing tension and international conflict. The global Power-Elite always uses the threat of &#8212; or actual outbreak of war &#8212; to reshuffle the monopoly money, clear the board and start the (same) game over, though it appears like a new one.<\/p>\n<p>The pretext is here for a 2008-style collapse of the financial markets including the US Stock Market. Since we all have short memories these days, let us bring to mind the 2007-\u201908 era for a moment. Tensions mounted between Georgia and Russia throughout the summer coming to a head, in a brief war in August, 2008.<\/p>\n<p>Predictably, oil prices rose $2.62 today, or 2.5 percent, to $104.64 a barrel following warnings by Washington and other governments that Russia, a major oil exporter, might be hit with sanctions after it seized control of Ukraine&#8217;s Crimean Peninsula. At least that is the spin that the western corporate-media puts on the situation.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the US and Europe need a pretext, any plausible reason, to distract their disgruntled populations away from stagnant economies; and the growing awareness that too few people have too much power and money. (Isn\u2019t that the goal of Monopoly?)<\/p>\n<p>The captains of the NWO, that financed the coup in Kiev, are not turning the screws on Russia financially. But since we have a global economy, which they actually created; but what goes around, comes around. The entire world will feel jolts, ripples and potentially a lot more, as long as the conflict in the Ukraine goes on.<\/p>\n<p>Watch for major currency realignments, sharp stock losses, a gold surge and moves by the FED like we see with the Russian Central Bank. Keep your fingers crossed for a quick resolution to the Ukraine situation as happened in 2008 with Georgia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Will Hart\u00a0 RINF Alternative News Beware the Russian stock index fell by 12% today.
