Hi Rupert loup
This is a reply to your removal of the following two quotes and your thoughtful comments:
Off topic. If there are present and notable interpretations on that content that link it to the present crash, then those should be added instead.
  • As readers who are familiar with Creme's books know, he predicted a major collapse of the corrupt world economic system, that would be so strong that it would totally upset the 'balance' of what he viewed as totally corrupt/ignorant world leadership ("totalitarianism"). He maintained that the crash would inevitably lead to major world world changes. Those familiar with his work have many reasons to believe that the 'collapse' he was referring is the 2020 Stock Market Crash. With that in mind, Creme's views seem very much On topic, notable, and useful for all readers who may be interested in seeing his views on how the crash would be handled along with his thoughts regarding the outcome.
    Unless you have objections, the following proposed quote will be inserted, and the two you removed - left out. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts. Thanks.

Proposed quote[edit]

  • [After the collapse of the stock markets] the number one priority will be the provision of adequate food for all the people; two, the provision of adequate housing for all...; thirdly, the provision of adequate healthcare and education for all... When the economic collapse occurs, humanity will begin to recognize its oneness, and the need to co-operate and share the world’s resources... After the preliminary shock [of the collapse of the stock market], the nations will meet together to discuss the means of coping with the future in ordered fashion. Those who have stood most emphatically behind the rule of market forces will find themselves outvoted in the dispensation which will pertain, and those advocating co-operation will gain the ascendancy. This will not happen overnight... Each nation will be asked to make an inventory of what it has and what it needs. In this way the world’s ‘cake’ will be known. Each nation will be asked to make over into a common trust that which it has in excess of its needs in any given commodity... a very sophisticated form of barter will replace the present economic system... The new government which will emerge after the stock market crash will reflect the will of the people and stand for the people.

Initial quotes deleted[edit]

  • [After the stock-markets crash] the number one priority will be the provision of adequate food for all the people; two, the provision of adequate housing for all the people; thirdly, the provision of adequate healthcare and education for all the people. These are the basic human rights needed everywhere by all people, yet there is no country in the world in which all of these pertain as a universal right. When the economic collapse occurs, humanity will begin to recognize its oneness, and the need to co-operate and share the world’s resources.
  • The world stock market crash... will reorient the governments of all countries towards a more equitable redistribution of food, housing, health care and education, which as universal rights will become the priorities of all governments. After the crash, the first duty of governments will be to feed people with the right food. Their second duty will be to ensure adequate housing. Health and education will be the next priorities. Investment along these lines in other parts of the world will follow, and lastly, defense. In short, the crash will lead to a reordering of priorities.
This market crash didn't happened in the 90s and the immediate market crash after the 90s was during the financial crisis of 2007–08. The interpretation relating this event with those quotes is original research. If there are people that meet WQ:Q who are stating said interpretation on these quotes then that is what should be added instead. Rupert Loup 17:28, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
