Neither the US Nor China Will be an Engine For Global Growth Next Year Submitted by Phoenix Capital Research on 10/24/2014 12:33 -0400
The investment world is banking on real growth being just around the corner.
However, the data does not confirm this view.
Let’s talk about China first. Half of all global growth is expected to come from China, which is forecast to grow by 6.5%-7% next year.
Now, China’s economic numbers are for the most part fictitious. However, there is one metric that cannot be fudged and that is electricity consumption. Either electricity is being used or it is not.
With that in mind, we must consider that China’s electricity demand is collapsing, having fallen to a year over year rate of 3.5% in August 2014.
......................
As is the case in China, official GDP growth numbers in the US are massaged to the point of being fictitious.
......................
Don’t believe the hype both China and the US are making up their GDP growth numbers for political reasons. Neither will be a major engine for growth next year…
Which means that the markets are completely mispricing what’s coming… and the stage is set for another Crash.

Why do people who are victims of the reigning monetary order use words and phrases designed to disguise its real purpose? China and the US elite are the principal engineers behind growing impoverishment world wide. Rising prices are not growth. Falling incomes is not growth. Junk consumer items that last only 20% percent as long as the same item did 30 years ago is not growth. That is a 500 percent increase in the items true cost. And Inflation is theft.
"Engine For Global Growth"? Not quite. The US dollar is an engine of plunder, just as the British Pound was. It is that irresistible, invisible force grinding billions worldwide into more debt and forcibly down to a lower rung on the economic ladder. That is why police forces worldwide have been militarized and act as though they are an occupying force in a conquered country......acting as the elites protectors and the common persons intimidators. If you can imagine a giant suction machine invisibly sucking up wealth worldwide and depositing it in the bank accounts of the .01 percent, you are not far off from reality.
