Internet conspiracy theorist predicts economic collapse next week
January 29, 2009 at 11:58 am by Thomas Wheatley in News
On Sept. 15, 2008, the stock market’s death rattle was amplified by Wall Street giant Lehman Brothers’ decision to file for bankruptcy.
One mysterious man named “Reinhardt” predicted the date and details of the collapse on a Google finance message board months before the fact. He also explained — in great detail — that the crash was caused by an organization with Catholic ties. And that one of the group’s founders was Tom Monaghan, the brains behind Domino’s Pizza. So there’s that.
Yesterday, Gawker reported that “Reinhardt” has revealed his identity on his blog. He says another financial asteroid is approaching and will strike on Feb. 9. Thank God people are buying pitchforks and learning Tae-Bo!
What’s the local angle, you ask? Well, according to his blog, “Reinhardt” lives in Atlanta. The “Real Housewives” don’t have anything on this dude.
If you have creepy music on your iPod, like Creed, now would be a good time to turn it on.
Reinhardt’s blog is a series of quick observations intermixed with stark photos and graphs depicting how disjointed and rattled the global finance climate has become. He hints at this, winks about that. And throughout the posts you’ll see a countdown — “12 days to go” — to a foreboding event. Beware the IMF, “the king will never do away with cheap labor. ” If it wasn’t so damn frightening, it’d make for intriguing reading.
Oh, and he also produces a business journal. Subscriptions are $720. Don’t say he — or we — didn’t warn you. (Scroll down on “Reinhardt’s” blog for information.) He hasn’t called or written me back yet, but I’m kind of in the mood for a downer for a day. I hope he does.

Creed? I think you meant “crappy”, not “creepy”.

I’ll go with crappy and creepy.
It’s so disjointed, that it’s hard to follow. But what I did understand scared the bejeesus out of me.
Seriously, if 2-9-09 is the new financial 9/11, maybe I can get out of buying a valentine’s day present.

Hey,
You know that Russian analyst did predict the US would completely collapse by 2010.
So you never know.

I’m personally had a dream and got Feb 9th as a huge event to happen. that’s weird cause i didn’t know about this and i had circled my calender for the 9th.

Thanks for ’splaining this mysterious character. Has anyone noticed that Monday will be 02092009 or 02/09/2009. I mention this as a student of 9-11, there was mention of how “they” stay away from the number 10 as it’s supposedly God’s number and there certainly any Almighty God in anything related to terror (foreign or domestic).
I’ve been edgy of late and doing little things in my humble little life similar to what I was doing in the weeks before 9-11. It kind of creeps me out. We don’t have long to wait. Good luck and God’s speed to all.

10 is god’s number?
i usually claim 10 for mine, but i can we can share it.

Thanks Wesley. I’m sure you are a 10. In the meantime, we’ll know today if 2092009 is significant or not or just more bunk and fear mongering.
I’m more of a skeptic than one would think. For instance, we recently had a “mirror” or “book-end” day in 01-11-09 which is the reverse of 9-11-01 and nothing happened.
On some blogs I find they are forever predicting the DOW down to 7500 or up to 10,000 in one day and it hasn’t happened. I think alot of people are stabbing in the dark.

Reinhardt’s failed Feb 9th prediction shows he is just a turd

Day ain’t over yet, sam!

Madness! Bloodshed! Riots in the streets!!
Or this Reinhardt guy picked the 9/15 date out of his ass (ouch!), which it happened to coincide with one of the many days in which something bad happened on Wall Street. Doing that twice in a row- pretty difficult trick.

Ruin Your Health With the Obama Stimulus Plan: Betsy McCaughey:
Obama: The Market Is Issuing You A WARNING:
Remember, Reinhardt said it would be an event – that would eventually become financial.
I made the assumption it was financial – not Reinhardt.
Now, however, at the very least we have all discovered something new about synthetic CDOs.
The week continues it’s countdown to Friday’s ‘event’
Another possible win – see this video:
Obama: “Other Countries are Tired of Lending Us Money, The Party’s Over”
Take your pick, I think he nailed the prediction. Trolls, please disagree somewhere else…
BTW, would some of you please do some research on GodLikeProductions. Who are these people? Who controls the site?
I have heard a rumour it is actually a government PsyOp… start at Tavistock (don’t search for it on GLP – apparently that search term doesn’t work?)
Finally Trolls and those who disagree, I have no problem with intelligent debate. However, swearing in the comments will get your comment removed. Multiple attempts will get your account blocked – My Channel My Rules. I have children that see these things. If you can’t understand that, go for the chop before you spread your seed.

Hidden Provisions
If the Obama administration’s economic stimulus bill passes the Senate in its current form, seniors in the U.S. will face similar rationing. Defenders of the system say that individuals benefit in younger years and sacrifice later.
The stimulus bill will affect every part of health care, from medical and nursing education, to how patients are treated and how much hospitals get paid. The bill allocates more funding for this bureaucracy than for the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force combined (90-92, 174-177, 181).
Hiding health legislation in a stimulus bill is intentional. Daschle supported the Clinton administration’s health-care overhaul in 1994, and attributed its failure to debate and delay. A year ago, Daschle wrote that the next president should act quickly before critics mount an opposition. “If that means attaching a health-care plan to the federal budget, so be it,” he said. “The issue is too important to be stalled by Senate protocol.”
More Scrutiny Needed
On Friday, President Obama called it “inexcusable and irresponsible” for senators to delay passing the stimulus bill. In truth, this bill needs more scrutiny.
The health-care industry is the largest employer in the U.S. It produces almost 17 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product. Yet the bill treats health care the way European governments do: as a cost problem instead of a growth industry. Imagine limiting growth and innovation in the electronics or auto industry during this downturn. This stimulus is dangerous to your health and the economy.
