I was reading the "THE 70 YEAR BANKRUPTCY CYCLE" by Guy Euden
The genius of the article reminds me of a few simple points, which I shall recount here, perhaps to spark some good discussion here on AR
1. What happened in 1799? That's when they introduced income tax in the UK. This is just one of many events at the end of the 18th Century.
2. Next, the Bankruptcy Act of 1869 was a devastating blow for the people, however the people did not even know of it! What did this mean for the 1870's - that a slate of a corporation or an entity could be wiped clean if they declared that they couldn't handle it anymore. This meant that the burden of financial troulbes could be passed onto the people.And, therefore, the precedent for doing so in history was born. Remember also that the US gold price crash happened in 1869, which bankrupted a lot of people on the continent.
3. Next, let's wind forward another 70 years, what do we have so say?1939! All the nations borrowed vast sums of capital from the Banksters and low and behold plunged ourselves deep into debt AGAIN!! Years of atrocities followed and millions of people died, fighting the great arrays of battles amounting to the great World War II.
4. And now, this is 2009, we face a world financial crisis being perpetuated at the cost of the people and the world leaders (Banksters Puppets all bought and paid for) are merely facilitating the whole transition.
Can anyone shed some light on these patterns? Can we break the 70 year Cycle at all or are we in for another incessant ride? Your comments and discussion is more than welcome.

GREAT BLOG THANKS FOR SHARING! I can tell from your blog that you have a passion for what you do. If I come in contact with someone looking in your area I'll pass your information along.
Kellie, thanks for the note. I would very much like to keep each other in our spheres and will do the same for you. Stay in touch and feel free to send me a message if you or any associates are looking at the Great Vancouver area - my team will take diligent care of them. Best, Jark.
Carol, I'm afraid that the cycles sometimes last more than a year or two. The years stretch on as did the second world war, and I'm afraid 1799 and 1869 didn't just blow over that easily either. The people have to stick together and keep talking about what's happening to maintain a objective standpoing on the ruckus out there. Cheers and have a great week. Jark.
Kathy, it's an image of a hand clenched into a kind of fist, perhaps a working person's hand? It is also a great image of the fibonacci sequence, the sequence of ever-recurring proportions not just in the body, in nature, in leafs on a tree, the genetic sequences in all beings, but also the sequence and pattens in the stock market, real estate patterns, political pattens and so on and so forth. A strange and complex world we find ourselves in, don't we? Cheers and thanks again for the comment. Have a great week. Jark.
Christine, to answer your query I'd have to say they were also mixed results: rebuilding, reconnecting with ourselves and others, reconstruction of lives and property and lifes' dreams, restarting... but I'm also aware that a lot of people lost faith in the madness of the world and didn't take that direction. So, perhaps in my ignorance, I would have to say that the "results" were mixed. What do you think? Jark.
Jark, interesting ideas in your post. I think there is some truth to the cycles. If the cycles are true to nature, perhaps they cannot be broken? I think the answer is we cannot go back to the way things were. People will have to live in a different way. This probably is easier said then done. But going back to borrowing money like there is no tomorrow from the banksters is going to perpetuate the long-standing problem. We will all have to think outside the box.
Pamela, I agree with you. One question is where we see value and what, in the end, the public feels they are entitled to. I would like to a see a society letting go of credit and realizing what they are capable of living with and without. If the cycles are true to nature then we have our own natures to reckon with, which suggests that we are ourselves part of the problem and the solution. Either way I think the people should feel empowered to take charge of the situations, collectively.
Jark: you make another good point - "what the public feels they are entitled to". This may be part of the brainwashing from the media and advertising that we should buy things we don't really need. There's a difference between need and want. I think many people may confuse the two, and hence, the use, or abuse, of credit.
Phil, thanks for the question. Yep, it is indeed dangerously close to exactly 70 years, whilst sometimes lasting for more than 1-5 years every time. It is indeed not a discrete one year of events...
Pamela, thanks for the comment. I think we are definitely more than a little susceptible to media and the Mad Men who have the techniques and knowledge of human psychocology to tweak messages to us. I know, simply because I don't have cable at home, that I am extra susceptible to the commercials I see, simply because they are so captivating and often look like sophisticated and graphically rich messages...
Elizabeth, thanks for the comment. I agree with you. In this time of excesses of information, access to so many analytical tools like google analytics and so on, it's hard to believe that we can't interpret this information in more sophisticated and layered ways than before. Collectively we have a tremendous resource to take the road less travelled and make a true difference. Shall we begin? Cheers, Jark.
Further to the article, I hear today that the US signed a 60 billion dollar Arms deal, one of the biggest arms deals in history ever, to the Saudi and Israel governments. Israel is said to maintain its military superiority in the area, but the Saudi government will be in a strategic position nevertheless. Hmm.
Jark ~ Interesting conversation & look at the cycle. Government, media, entitlement/human nature (the good the bad & the ugly), the key problems we live with. I'd love to see serious positive changes in our world. I'm not sure ending credit is the way, adjusting the scale and the way we handle it has to be addressed, however, when you add humans into the mix, we end up at square one. The sickness of greed and being better than the next person, is powerful and devastating to all of us. If we could embrace the reality, there is enough for everyone, how much better would the world be? Naive, maybe, true, I believe yes.
Maria, thanks so much for the comment - I DID see a part of it as part of a Zeitgeist movie series but I started watching it again. I'm astounded about what I learn about the systems at play. It certainly enrages you to find out what's going on behind the scenes and has for so many many years. How do you cope Maria, do you have a support group that keeps you centred? Best to you on this lovely monday. Stay in touch. Jark.
Hello, my name is Jark! I have been a real estate investor for the past 15 years, predominately in the Greater Vancouver area but also in the developing real-estate locales of Whistler as well as Revelstoke. I share my research and writing on a daily basis as an added service to my clients. It's important to realize that REALTORS are not only sales people but are also scholars of Real Estate in their own right. The hundreds of articles I've published serve to exemplify this point.
In Vancouver specifically, I’ve bought and sold more than four businesses of my own – prior to licensing as a real estate licensee – and have bought three passive real-estate holdings. If you’re looking for an agent who’s not only thought about real estate but has also bought and sold his own properties, and taken his own calculated risks, give me a holler and we’ll discuss the market and your participation therein. For more than theory, speak to someone who’s empirically on the same page as an experienced real estate investor.

Let's hope we're breaking the cycle this time around, and if not, thank goodness we're just a few months from 2011!
Cheers,
Carol
Jark - I get your content. My screen isn't that clear, so ..... what is that picture of????

JARk,
Interesting blog! Do you know what the results were after each of the cycles?
Christine
Christine, to answer your query I'd have to say they were also mixed results: rebuilding, reconnecting with ourselves and others, reconstruction of lives and property and lifes' dreams, restarting... but I'm also aware that a lot of people lost faith in the madness of the world and didn't take that direction.

Interesting blog Jark,
I didn't take the time to check.
Is it exactly every 70 years?
Phil

Jark, interesting concept. History, of course; repeats itself. The lessons are good and how we use the information we have is often the difference.
Elizabeth, thanks for the comment. I agree with you.

Very interesting, Jark. Did you ever see this video of the Money Masters?
