Interesting and more than a little curious that with all of your premonitions and foreboding, you make no particular mention of the past crucial eight years of a crime family running the country.
EEK!
You mean GWB was the head of the MAFIA? I never even knew he was eyetalian
Yes. What's "monumentally large afoot" is called a "paradigm shift." The centuries-old rape of the planet--and of the poor--has now come to an end. We are facing global catastrophe if we do not immediately address climate change. Destructive energy production, toxic food production, massive manufacturing and consumption, deforestation, water scarcity, dangerously unsustainable population levels: the planet has reached its limit. It's myopic to think that we can perpetrate this level of violence against Nature and somehow--magically--it's just all going to be okay. Your extreme state of fear is nothing more than a classic response to paradigmatic social change. It's nothing new. The Crusades, witch-burning, the American Civil War--all responses of ideologically-grounded mass fear and hysteria against a perceived threat to the status quo.
Your fear of Obama is pathological. Perhaps you should consider therapy?
We learn just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has “loaned” two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. Atlas Shrugs: "Something of Historic Proportion is Happening"
Wow. I had missed that.
Looking on the net I have not found the answer to the mystery - just more articles about the mystery.
The Glenn Beck types have entered full panic mode, which probably means we're more than half way through this mess. That's what happens when you belong to the party of denial, by the time you're ready to accept reality, it's already passed you by.
While they're bellyaching and throwing the word "Socialist" around, the government they so loathe has stopped us from entering the second great depression.
Personally I'd recommend you do us all a favor and spend some time in your doom bunkers, try a decade or two.

I don't think you can really say that without, you know, an actual depression, of the great variety. Thus far it's just been a lot of government waste.
I am a student of history. Professionally. I have written 15 books in six languages, and have studied it all my life. I think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is just a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes, these exist but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus. Something of historic proportions is happening.

Yeah, they are so frightened of speeking their mind that have a website where they can spread their fear and outright propaganda. BS. Nothing worth seeing there except for an insight to how such fear is spread through the far right community. Must be a long hard life living like that.

Well, I certainly hope that you are right and it is just doom and gloom,
(not so sure about the statement that the govt stopped us from the second great depression, anyhow) because.....
if the Feds are nervous, that makes me nervous.
They see a financial event and aren't sure what their next move should be.
Let's hope they make the right move.

The Federal Reserve appears to be increasingly nervous about the long term bond market. This is serious. How panicked are they? After leaking a story on Friday, they are back at it on Sunday. EconomicPolicyJournal.com: The Big Collapse Could Be Very Near

What really has me spooked is another article out this afternoon (on a Sunday) that Drudge has even picked up. It's a Reuters story by Alister Bull. The headline: Federal Reserve puzzled by yield curve steepening.
The Federal Reserve is studying significant moves in the U.S. government bond market last week that could have big implications for the central bank's strategy to combat the country's recession.
BTW,
China has been yelling at us to stop spending and we have been snubbing our noses at them.
Let's hope we listen before they call in their chips or we will be hurting.
