Brutal Capitalism and the USD

Independent broker Alessio Rastati just sent shockwaves through CNN viewers. During an incredibly blunt interview, he laid bare his unfiltered thoughts on the banking sector and the current volatility hitting global markets. "A total collapse of the USD is inevitable," Rastati warned, offering a grim forecast that the life savings of millions could vanish within the next year.

"I’ll be honest with you. For the last three years, brokers all over the world—myself included—have been dreaming of this exact moment: the arrival of a new recession. It's the ultimate opportunity for anyone who actually knows how to make money when things get messy."That's what Alessio Rastati said," he noted.

Izvor:

The USD is heading for a total meltdown. Seriously, you need to move your assets and save whatever you can right now!

Finally, someone is actually telling it like it is. It’s such a relief to hear some realism for once, instead of listening to those clowns like Šantić and Kulić—and all the other jokers out there—who just try to mislead the public with their endless populist nonsense.

Is this guy actually telling us the truth, or is he just fear-mongering for the sake of it? And honestly, what does the future even hold for the USD?

I’m still saving up in dollars, but honestly, it feels like a hollow victory when we're all tied to the strength of the greenback anyway. What's the point of hoarding cash if the value is constantly shifting under our feet? ☕

The guy was surprisingly blunt, honestly. He dropped one more thing that really hits home too.

Quincy:

You guys actually think politicians and governments are calling the shots globally? Goldman Sachs runs the show, and they couldn't care less about any of us...

I'd take it a step further—it’s not just Goldman Sachs; there’s a whole handful of massive players pulling the strings by controlling the giant corporations, the big banks, and the pharma giants. They aren't just shaping the economy, they're basically writing the playbook for global politics itself.

It’s pretty much common knowledge at this point, though you still run into those few people who haven't quite grasped reality—you know, the ones who think the US is led solely by its first Black president... and then you have the conspiracy theorists who refuse to believe in a shadow government.🤣
Unfortunately, most people won't wake up until it's far too late... I'm actually starting to find myself leaning toward the prophecies in the Bible, even though I wouldn't call myself a believer.🤦

It’s an old story, really. It’s been said a thousand times on various alternative forums and even in http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1352852/ and countless other places. I honestly don't get why he decided to go public with this. It feels like some twisted game or psychological manipulation. He’ll likely end up either underground or behind bars for something serious... ☕

The world is run by secret societies—mostly Masons and Illuminati types. Most of these minor politicians? They’re just puppets moved by the global elite. I’m exempting Castro and his crew from that, but they're a different breed altogether... 😍

It gets much darker when you realize that 10% to 20% of the population will be tricked into defending these vampires and big shots just to ensure their own survival. They’ll do anything—mass violence, full-scale wars... I think we all know why Americans, for instance, sign up for things like Afghanistan... it's pure survival instinct. 😢

Look, the mafia runs the world—it doesn't really matter what label you put on them. Those people can never have enough cash; just look at that old guy Soros—he has no idea what to do with all his money, yet it's still never enough... 🙂
The funniest part to me is the people who actually believe that Warren Buffett and Bill Gates are the richest men on the planet just because 😂 Forbes said so.

Unknown 🤣

Regarding that broker Unknown 🤣

It’s actually Andy Bichlbaum from that prank group Yes Men. He tricked the journalists again.

And don't even get me started on certain forum users who think just dropping "alternative" buzzwords—capitalists, evil, conspiracies, Goldman Sachs, debt, banks, etc.—is enough to make a story sound credible without doing any actual fact-checking.

Andy, you legend. 👍

Google pulled this image up for me:

😕😕

I'm scrolling through the YouTube comments below, and there isn't a single mention of this guy.

Here's the actual breakdown:

Quincy:

I don’t know why they think it’s a hoax. No, I am a trader absolutely. I have trader friends who could back that up. One of my mentors is a bestselling author and trader. Everyone knows me.

The guy and his crew are constantly reinventing themselves and feeding journalists all sorts of elaborate stories. They're brilliant, really. They even produced the film

little with comment:

This is a hoax. I can't believe the BBC were suckered AGAIN by Yes Men ’ Andy Bichlbaum. In 2004 the same guy pretended to be a representitive of DOW chemicals and claimed that they would take full responsibilty for the 1984 Bhopal disaster in India. DOW's share price tumbled. And now the BBC have invited this prankster into their studios AGAIN. OK , it's not the same studio, but do these people at the BBC not watch TV? Have they not see the film "The Yes Men Change The World".

....

GOOD WORK TO YES MEN ORGANIZATION BBC SHAME ON YOU AGAIN HAHAHAHAH

.....

ahhahahahhahahh yes man !!!!!!!

.....

Even our folks over at Yahoo News caught on:

The Yes Men, Andy Bichlbaum. 🙂 Brilliant! haha

......

hahahhahah so this legend is actually from The Yes Men organization—I can't believe they fell for it again, poor BBC.

I have my doubts about whether this trader fellow is actually the same individual featured in The Yes Men in Dow Chemical video. Take a look at this clip featuring The Yes Men—it's the same guy from that famous Dow Chemical hoax interview:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhrpSW_pnck

And here he is appearing in a video regarding the Dow Chemical stunt:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiWlvBro9eI

I also found these photos of him:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22An...w=1280&bih=666

Does it look like the same person to you? To my eyes, his face looks older, and the shape of his brow and ears seems different, but I certainly can't be one hundred percent certain. Could he just be another member of the troupe? Or perhaps he represents their talent for providing people with the tools to pull off these kinds of hoaxes...?

I don't know what the truth is either, but watching how the US Dollar holds up will be interesting enough.

@Cahit Sak
So, Cahit Sak, did you finally uncover the big truth? I was watching them and caught on the second I spotted that link over at USA Today. Honestly, I didn't even need to listen to what he was saying to know. I bet those trolls over at Reddit sniffed him out immediately, too. It probably only took them about an hour to tear him apart. But hey, I kept my mouth shut just to see what kind of absolute charlatans are lurking around on this forum. 🙂
It would be pretty hilarious if they actually invited Andy to a panel discussion here in the States regarding the European Union 🙂 Can you imagine the sheer paranoia and total chaos that would trigger in the heads of those "No to the EU" activists? 🙂

I mean, I don't know if what you're saying is strictly true, but honestly, the guy didn't exactly lie—the USD and the USA are pretty much on the brink of collapse anyway, so his little joke might actually come true. 😁

Seriously, go watch The Yes Men fix The World before you start throwing around those Doomsday theories.🙂

He might have been joking and thought the whole thing was just interesting, but he wasn't actually far off. The reality is that those who truly understand the game make their money during crises, and let’s face it: finance runs the world. It isn't about Masons, the Antichrist, or evil Jews—it's simply about the money. If that hasn't clicked for you yet, you really need to take a closer look at the world around you.

They caught him just as fast over on Yahoo News, too. Since the topic is so timely, the clickbait was practically guaranteed. 😁

But what I don't get is CNN. This guy already played them once five or six years ago and gave them a serious public dressing down, yet here they are, sucking up to him like elementary schoolers. 🤦

Exactly... I don't know why, but I usually end up calling it the mafia instead.🤣
He might have been kidding, but unfortunately, the joke is on us because it's true. If the dollar ever truly collapses as a currency, those so-called brokers are going to be the ones laughing all the way to the bank. He mentioned how Goldman Sachs calls the shots, and well, of course they do—just like you said, money rules the world, and the banks are the ones holding all the strings.☕

Look, you have to understand that lately, everything is being over-commercialized through the media—especially online—particularly when it comes to the current, rather bleak economic outlook here in America.
I truly believe that if a total collapse of the US Dollar were actually to happen, you wouldn't even realize it was occurring until it was far too late; no news outlet is going to be quick enough to catch the moment it breaks. My take is that if a catastrophe of this magnitude actually unfolds, we’ll likely see a period of eerie calm first—that "calm before the storm" feeling, or perhaps a temporary bubble of prosperity—simply because information travels so fast now, assuming it's true that the entire system is being managed by those "societies" pulling the strings. A big part of that feeling comes from how incredibly composed the German Chancellor remains regarding the situation in Greece.

So, I think we’re safe for the next three to five years, but honestly, and I say this with a bit of genuine dread, I fear we might be heading toward some seriously rough times—something that triggers a massive avalanche of events. It just doesn't make sense for things to crumble entirely on their own, and I worry that what could actually trigger it is a major global war serving as a precursor to a massive financial meltdown, primarily across Europe.

In the end, I'm probably being way too negative; just relax and put your faith in the politicians. 😁

This thread could easily be locked, or at least moved over to the master discussion topic about Europe and the "US Dollar."

Look, just go watch The Yes Men fix The World. There’s this whole part where they pose as execs from ExxonMobil and actually pitch some bullshit about alternative fuel made from the bodies left behind after Katrina.
It’s basically the same vibe as the collapse of America and the Eurozone. People around here will always fall for fairy tales and conspiracy theories, won't they?
We should probably move this thread over to "Alternative."

@Cahit
Man, the most hilarious part has to be CNN’s pathetic attempt to wiggle out of this mess. "No, seriously. My god. He's a real guy and he really is a broker." They’ve turned CNN into a total joke. And it's not just them—even our local "journalists" are useless. Even the New York Post pulled a story only to put it back up later. It just goes to show that even at CNN, they're hiring complete amateurs.

@redeagle42
With the US Dollar dropping, we might be looking at a recession even worse than the 2008 crash. This isn't some conspiracy theory or fringe Alternative news; it’s a real concern.
Plus, let's be honest: human greed isn't a conspiracy theory—it's just reality.

The real geniuses? The ones who actually believe Warren Buffett and Bill Gates are the richest men on earth just because Forbes put their names on a list.😂

Money is simply the tool used to manipulate the masses and maintain control over people. Take the West, for instance. We technically have freedom of choice and the right to speak our minds, but nobody actually uses it. Why? Because they know it leads to getting fired from their job, ending up on the Street, and losing everything they own.

Modern-day slavery... The more they control the money, the more they control the people.☕

Focus your savings on real estate and shares in high-growth companies.
