I'm giving this through tomorrow (21st and the market opens), or okay, Tuesday (for stupid bloody sentimental reasons). Since the general theme is Seven, even until Saturday night. Then I'm so going to ask for my money back.
Meanwhile, if you see it coming - say something! Let's go! What's the apocalypse this week? Who's going to win the pool? Special prize for the one who posts in this thread the first definitive sign of the Thing As It Unfolds!

Occult Message in Speech by Christine Lagarde of IMF
"7" references:
1:22 - "Now I'm going to test your numerology skills by asking you to think about the magic seven"
1:34 - "Most of you will know that seven is quite a number
2:24 - "2014, you drop the zero, fourteen, two times, seven"
4:08 - "It will mark the 70th anniversary, 70th anniversary, drop the zero, seven, of the Bretton Woods Conference that actually gave birth to the IMF" (7 + 0 = 7)
4:22 - "And it will be the 25th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall, 25th.." (2 + 5 = 7)
4:38 - "It will also mark the 7th anniversary of the financial market jietters"
5:08 - "After those seven miserable years, weak and fragile"
5:14 - "We have seven strong years"
5:43 - "Now I don't know if the G7 will have anything to do with it" (G is also the 7th letter of the alphabet)

That is weird, to see Lagarde playing at such length with stuff that is supposedly anathema to anyone pretending to be an economist, technocrat, or scientist, what the IMF is supposedly all about. Comic act or not, her delivery is light in style but not joking. As one of the comments naturally asks, "Why is someone representing the IMF even speaking about numerology?"
And with such attention to detail! She makes sure to mention the numerological cross number of 2014 (meaning 7), the 100th anniversary of 1914, the 70th of Bretton Woods, the 25th (2+5) of the Berlin Wall, and the 7th of the capitalist crash (the "financial market jitters," puh-lease!). She also evokes the biblical 7 years of famine she now hopes will be followed by "7 strong years," starting with the very "magic" and "bright" year of 2014. She calls it magic, repeatedly.
Given also that her very first comment is that "I do as I'm told," it does seem like she is sending a (barely) coded message to anyone willing to decipher it. The video concludes that the gratuitous mention of G20 (G, 7th letter, thus the 7th month) is meant to point at 7/20/2014 (=7) as a big day for the IMF, and a decisive day in world history. The video's speculation is that this means the "global currency reset" is coming, and it concludes in typical goldbugging fashion ("Protect Yourself") but I'd be equally impressed by any event on the level of say, the Berlin Wall or 9/11.
7/20 is this Sunday, 2 days from now, so we shall see. If it happens, I will have to consider converting to the numerological religion after all.
