Italy may be about to get buried again…
Submitted by Simon Black, Sovereign Man:
On August 24 in the year 79 AD, one of the most famous natural disasters in history struck the Ancient Roman city of Pompeii, and its surrounding area.
We have an eye-witness account from Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus, whose letter to Roman historian Tacitus vividly describes how the eruption of Mount Vesuvius rained down hot, black cinders and smoldering ash onto the towns below.
Pompeii was buried in about six meters of volcanic ash, and the town’s inhabitants were frozen in time in the exact positions that they stood when they died.
Curiously, despite the volcano nearly wiping out the nearby civilizations, the Ancient Romans rebuilt more towns at the foot of the volcano.
Yet unsurprisingly Vesuvius continued erupting.
The eruption of 472 AD was so severe that volcanic ash fell as far away as Constantinople, over 1,000 km away.
Forty years later the eruptions were so damaging that surviving locals were exempted from taxation.
Mount Vesuvius has barely let up since ancient times, erupting 12 times in the last two centuries alone.
Italian officials are now starting to sound the alarm bell, suggesting that Vesuvius could erupt again, this time endangering the 3+ million inhabitants of nearby Naples, and especially the 600,000 inhabitants within the volcano’s danger zone.
I can’t help but see the obvious parallels in our modern financial system.
This system almost came crashing down eight years ago under the weight of so much stupidity and debt.
Bank balance sheets were stuffed full of worthless garbage, like giant pools of no-money-down mortgages and home loans made to dead people.
Central banks have also been blamed for keeping interest rates far too low for far too long, spurring excessive and idiotic financial excess.
