Hi Kent,

I don't know if you noticed ths story about a couple of un-named investors
in the USA betting a total of USD 4.5 billion on a 30% decline in the
markets by September 21st, being at risk of losing USD 1 billion if they
are wrong, but this may show why:

It also indirectly shows why the Leo Wanta story may be psyops - the
amounts involved (in the trillions) are just too big.  China has taken
years of surprlus trading with the USA to build up a surplus of over 1.2
trillion, and here is a major problem for the banking system that amounts
to 70 billion over 10 ten days.
