It was predictable
Absolutely. Italian debt is currently sitting at an astronomical 131% of GDP, with an incompetent government.
With even Germany facing a recession, the Eurozone is on the brink. China's growth is slowing. UK is facing a no-deal Brexit. US can't keep their government open. We are facing another global recession.
How do I short the world?
I read in the newspaper that Italy was the only European country in recession and Germany avoided it despite their situation.
Now thinking about it, it remembers me the buzz about The Economist cover in January, which, following people opinion, was a subliminal message for a dark year in 2019.
Illuminati confirmed!

This is the cover of The Economist magazine (owned by the Rothschild and Agnelli families) for 2019. TOUT NOIR 😉
It confirms what Corey Goode said a few months ago: "I was told that the Elite expected the last "solar sneeze" to occur at the end of this solar minimum period (2018/2019 according to their estimates)".
I recall that their 1988 coverage (they expected this minimum/solar event around 2018) announced the end of the dollar as the world reserve currency around 2018 for a new single global currency (via IMF SDRs).
But the cycles (on average 11.2 years) are not perfect.
They are destroying the current financial system in a controlled way according to this solar event (which will put all our technology) which in turn adjusts to this demolition (everything is connected, everything is consciousness, everything is One).
