Data signal deep global downturn

December 2, 2008
Evidence of a global slide towards a deep recession mounted on Monday with severe strain reported by manufacturing companies around the world, large falls in car sales across Europe and bad construction figures in the US.
So clear were the signs of downturn in the US that the National Bureau of Economic Research, the most prestigious US independent economic authority, said the country had been in recession since December 2007.
The gloom prompted a near 9 per cent fall in the S&P 500 index, reversing gains made last week, while the 10-year Treasury yield fell to its lowest level for more than half a century.
The NBER academics define a recession as “a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in production, employment, real income, and other indicators”.

Gas here is at $1.60 for 87. Back in high school in the early 1990s I was paying $1.20 for 89. And the prices are still coming down. I was happy when they dropped to $1.50. Maybe they will go back to what 87 was selling for when I was in school which was around $1.10.

Awhile back an article was here on this website about the oil and its relationship to our economy. Lindsey Williams told about how oil had replaced gold as the backing of the American dollar through unscrupulous World Bank and underhanded politicians (Henry Kissinger to name one). He said that if the price of oil dropped the dollar would be worthless and the American economy would collapse. When the price of gasoline dropped to under $2.00 now officially the nation is in recession – bordering depression. Everything he said happened. He knew it was happening because he heard it from the executives in Alaska during one of their pipeline agenda meetings. He was a missionary up there for the laborers. I believe that the obscure little known governor of Alaska who became the VP runningmate on the Republican ticket and the sudden drop in price of oil are related. I am saying that something that was in that article that came into reality was through the Alaska connection and the oil reserves there. I think that the secret government is running the show. I think that while the rest of us are scrounging and scraping a living for our families, the government is in the hands of monsters.

I’m confused. If the petrodollar is based on oil, wouldn’t the price drop be a good thing because it means that one dollar buys more oil than before/it takes less dollars to buy a gallon of gas, which would indicate the dollar is getting stronger?
Nevertheless, I believe the economy is in trouble…food prices rather than oil prices will be the key indicator to watch.
