The Meltdown Chronicles

by Leonard J. Goodman

To most citizens, it's still a mystery what has caused the current financial crisis. And that's the way "they" want it. However, FBI agent Jeff Miller, member of the White Collar Crime Task force, discovers what may be the real reasons for the crisis and the even more incredible reasons why. The financial crisis is deeper and more profound than it appears. Indeed, it may be the beginning of a historic experiment designed to engineer drastic changes into modern cvilization. If the changes don't work, there is a high probability for the eventual extinction of Homo sapiens. Conspiracies such as the Knights Templar, the Federal Reserve Bank, the Council on Foreign Relations and the Bank of International Settlements, all play a role in the Shadow Bankers'world of secret social engineering. But could these experts be wrong? It's no surprise that the house of cards-our banking system-could come tumbling down. But something more important lies between the lines of the "designed reality" of our modern world and soon to become the seeds of mankind's future... or its undoing.

About the author

When you are as old as I am, too much water has passed under the bridge to spin a short Bio. So, I'll hit some relevant points.

After jumping through all the hoops, I took my MBA and stock broker experience into a dark and interesting arena: White Collar Fraud. For over a decade, I have been seeing the debasement of capitalism-up close and personal. Indeed, it has been the decay of values (or changing values) and the keen development of the new world sport: gaming the system,any system.

I saw the tracks as they led from the third world where gaming the system is a matter of survival. While most of us think of the developed world spreading its bounty upon the world it has really been the infection of globalization by institutionalizing corruption that has been flowing from the expertise of the "less fortunate societies". I know it's a novel perspective, but to me, it is what it is.

Currently, I am retired and living in South America.
