The Collapse Of The Too Big To Fail Banks In Europe Is Here

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br><br>There is so much chaos going on that I don’t even know where to start. For a very long time I have been warning my readers that a major banking collapse was coming to Europe, and now it is finally unfolding. Let’s start with Deutsche Bank. The stock of the most important bank in the “strongest economy in Europe” plunged <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=db+Interactive#{%22allowChartStacking%22:true}">another 8 percent on Monday</a>, and it is now hovering just above the all-time record low that was set during the last financial crisis. Overall, the stock price is now down a staggering 36 percent since 2016 began, and Deutsche Bank credit default swaps are going <a href="http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user5/imageroot/2016/02/03/DB%20CDS%20c.jpg">parabolic</a>. Of course my readers were alerted to major problems at Deutsche Bank <a href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/there-are-indications-that-a-major-financial-event-in-germany-could-be-imminent">all the way back in September</a>, and now the endgame is playing out. In addition to Deutsche Bank, the list of other “too big to fail” banks in Europe that appear to be in very serious trouble includes Commerzbank, Credit Suisse, HSBC and BNP Paribas. Just about every major bank <a href="http://themostimportantnews.com/archives/a-run-on-the-banks-begins-in-italy-as-italian-banking-stocks-collapse">in Italy</a> could fall on that list as well, and Greek bank stocks lost close to a quarter of their value on Monday alone. Financial Armageddon has come to Europe, and the entire planet <a href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/22-signs-that-the-global-economic-turmoil-we-have-seen-so-far-in-2016-is-just-the-beginning">is going to feel the pain</a>.</span><img alt="Europe Lightning - Public Domain" src="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Europe-Lightning-Public-Domain-460x315.jpg">

The Collapse of Europe? The European Union May Be on the Verge of Total Collapse

Between 1989 and 2014, the European Union (EU) practically doubled its membership and catapulted into third place in population behind China and India.

This Will Be A Literal Collapse of the Entire Global Monetary System

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Discussions of the possible collapse of the U.S. dollar often center around how such an event will affect the domestic economy. But the dollar doesn’t just operate inside of a bubble. It is the world’s reserve currency for a reason. Some sixty-six countries world-wide either utilize it as their primary currency or peg their own currencies to its exchange rate. What this means, as noted by <a href="http://www.futuremoneytrends.com/" target="_blank">Future Money Trends</a> in the micro documentary below, is that if and when the dollar does come under attack the fallout will be everywhere. The collapse will happen simultaneously and affect billions of people worldwide.</span><br> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span> <blockquote style="margin: 0px 20px; padding: 5px 10px;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is 33% of the nations of the world all submitting their currency sovereignty to the US Federal Reserve.</span><br> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If and when the U.S. loses its currency status this will be a literal collapse of the entire global monetary system… A system that is built on lies, fraud and theft.</span></blockquote> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="266" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OvIWYLvJPuI?feature=player_embedded" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen" width="320"></iframe></div> <img src="http://reclaimourrepublic.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/burningmoney.jpg"><br>
