2012 financial markets-souk al-manakh

The 2012 financial markets might just be another souk al-manakh if we listen to Celente, Schiff, and other people who seem to look past the hopeful outlook of others.

2012 is about a lot of things, many of which have been stretched way too far in my opinion. However I do not discount the opinions and the foreword thinking and predictions of Gerald Celente who has become one of the most feared forecasters of future trends. Why feared ? Well as his website, trendresearch.com states, in a quote from the New York Times :

If Nostradamus were alive today he'd have a hard time keeping up with Gerald Celente

The souk al-marnakh is an interesting story but it is lost in translation IMO. After researching the word almanac I ended with an understand that manakh is old Arabic term which has an history that goes back to the days of Ptolemy or at the time when AD was new. Ptolemy the Egyptian Roman of Greek heritage wrote many books and some of them ended up in the hands of Islamic scholars in the 13th Century. Ptolemy's works followed up on Aristotle's works in geometry, mathematics, astrology, and astronomy. These scholars were working on themes that included the inclination of planets and stars on the fabric of consciousness and on matter in general. It was the science of the lights. In Islam, in the 13th century a new book called the Kitab al-Manakh was written to advance new concepts revolving around the science of the stars. Kitab is a book and al-Manakh states reference to inclination or to the climate of......

While researching the origin of the almanac I came across the term Souk al-Manakh and I was confused at first when I started seeing how easily people who wrote about this subject confused the meaning of the word manakh. Most people were writing that the camel was a manakh. The Kuwait financial markets collapsed under the financial bubble that burst in the early 1980's sending traders and investors scrambling for financial cover.

Souk is a term for market and goes back a long way to a time when caravans moved around and traded pretty much anything, including their camels. Kuwait has a history of having a stock market and an illegal stock market. The latter is known as the Souk al-manakh. I could imagine that in 1982 the merchants of trade who were sweating for there financial life as they watched the bubble crash were in an atmosphere or a climate that was louder and more confused under panic than any had been in many years, decades, or centuries.

Let's just say the camel @#$^$ was likely flying from the lights in the sky and was creating a Souk al- manakh or a Camel market inclined towards panic.

Now this story could get very long if I went through all the details of why and how Gerald Celente sees another Souk al-manakh mentality developing in the years leading to 2012 but I think a video will do that part of this story better justice.



If Celente and others are right about the future of the economy and of the stability of currency then the climate of change will not be due to camels or to horse flies.

Which leaves me to question the psychic powers of men like Edgar Cayce when he predicted that a third world war might be averted after extreme political temperaments (al - manakh) pushed humanity to the edge of such a global quarrel. Wars and Rumours of War that might have the potential to push the doomsday clock minute hand to the edge of human extinction. Yet the sleeping prophet also envisioned that avoiding WW3 might be possible but would likely only make room for an interim war that involved the stabilization of global currencies and a push towards an international currency.





I see similarities here !!!
Pass the al-manakh would you !!!
