Market meltdown, Brexit and the Ides of March. Here comes The Greater Depression. By Alan Franklin.

March 15 is an interesting date. It marked the allegedly prophesied assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC It could also herald the coming financial earthquake I have been expecting for years.
Mid March 2017 is packed with ‘interesting’ events.
On March 15 America runs out of money when the country hits its $20 trillion debt ceiling.
In March Britain’s bid to leave the EU starts with the triggering of Article 50 – the way for a nation to exit the EU – the Revived Roman Empire. Interestingly, Caesar’s March 15 death marked a turning point in Roman history, sparking the transition from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire.
On March 15 The Netherlands holds the first European election of the year and anti-immigration politicians will make a big impact. The French and German elections follow on later, and both countries also have uneasy electorates. Geert Wilders’ patriotic anti-Islam, anti EU party, The Party for Freedom, is riding a growing wave of populism and appears on track to win the most seats the Dutch election, according to some polls.
Wilders and backers are a threat to the EU’S ‘liberal’ ideas as Mr Wilders has pledged to close the Netherlands’ borders, shut down mosques and leave the euro and EU if he gets into power. However, he is unlikely to win a majority in Parliament to put this into practice. For now. The same applies to Marie Le Pen in France, another patriotic politician striking a chord with a people sick of being swamped with hordes of mostly Islamic young men.
On March 17/18 The world’s top 20 nations – the G20 – send their finance ministers and central bankers to a meeting to discuss the parlous state of the world’s finances. Around the same time the US Federal Reserve is expected to launch the first of what may be a series of rate rises.
