Apparently, US Federal Reserve chairwoman Janet Yellen - the little Jewish lady who effectively manages the livelihoods of the planet's 7.4 billion inhabitants - saved the global economy from a complete meltdown on February 11, 2016 - the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes (and, incidentally, the third anniversary of Pope Benedict XVI's shocking resignation which paved the way for Pope Francis).
It was on that very day that the crash of oil prices - which threatened to unleash an uncontrolled death spiral of (petro)dollar deflation worldwide - was decisively arrested.
Today, the relative calm in global markets, but most significantly the major exchanges in the US, UK, Europe, Japan and China, is singularly attributable to the fact that crude oil was not allowed to drop into the teens per barrel, effectively bottoming out around $26. As well, the other hammer that would've come down had crude hit the teens - China's yuan or RMB - has been effectively propped up around 6.5 to the dollar (which has apparently been deliberately weakened since then) to prevent a cataclysmic feared 20 to 30 percent devaluation which would've blown already-depressed global trade levels clean out of the water.
No, we're not out of the woods yet; more likely, we're only approaching the actual thick part of the deep forest interior - all that's been achieved to date is we've taken a powerful pill to prevent a guaranteed (panic-induced) stroke even before we've actually set out some proximate course to reach the other side eventually.
These woods, of course, are a metaphor for the unprecedented global peace promised originally by Our Lady of Fatima in July 1917 - a worldwide stabilization brought about by the universal language of market-driven commerce, with the Jews, hardly surprisingly, at the very center.
Not coincidentally, the situation in Syria also improved markedly at virtually the same moment the world was pulled back from the economic precipice: the Axis of Fatima spent the following fortnight consolidating its gains around the critical strategic city of Aleppo in the run-up to the February 26 ceasefire that has largely held ever since.
The Axis of Fatima - Russia, Iran, Syria, etc. - is of course oil-fueled and petrodollar-based. That it's essentially been handed a geopolitical win in the Levant makes perfect sense when you consider that it was first handed a financial salve by Ms. Yellen in the form of an eased global dollar ecosystem - this, far more than any rumored or real "output freeze" agreement between Russia and OPEC, is the determinant of petro prices.
Further, on the very day the Syrian ceasefire took hold, the US also essentially pivoted its economic destiny even further to China, secretly agreeing at the G-20 in Shanghai to prop up the yuan by debasing the greenback. Years from now, this moment will likely be remembered as the one in which "Chimerica" became the permanent foundational fixture of the integrated global economy - with both its West and East wings run by the Jews (America being the New World Israel, China being the Far Eastern Wisdom sought by the ancient Hebrews of the Near East).
Things are looking pretty good for Israel - both the literal secular state in the Mideast and the figurative spiritual and cultural one encompassing most of the world (albeit still bitterly divided against and within itself); beyond this, the Axis of Fatima, being the (not so) secret link between Judeo-Christianity and Islam, is the only additional bridge to cross to arrive at the Nirvana of lasting world peace.
