So far, we have seen a panic without a crash. Intuitively everyone senses the phoniness that is driving the financial markets. The atmosphere of panic comes from a reoccurring fear that the truth is about to come out. James Quillian

Exactly, brilliantly insightful James. I refer to this as the 'financial matrix' to borrow a metaphor from popular culture. I am always reminded of this exchange in the film Matrix ( channelling 17-18th century philosophers ).

Morpheus: I know exactly what you mean. ... You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad...Do you know what I'm talking about?
Neo: The Matrix.
Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere. ... You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.

You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

Mark.
