Japan’s Prime Minister Warns of Lehman-Magnitude Crisis at G7 Summit

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe invoked the infamous Lehman Brothers bankruptcy as he warned his fellow Group of Seven leaders of potential economic hardships that could befall his country.

Abe’s warning of an impending Lehman-magnitude crisis could be his set-up for why another delay in a hike of Japan’s national sales tax could come, according to CNBC. The prime minister has planned to raise the country’s sales tax from 8 percent to 10 percent in April 2017 unless a natural disaster or economic collapse occurs.

During Thursday’s session of the G7 summit, which Abe is hosting, the prime minister showed that commodity prices have plummeted 55 percent since 2014 — the same margin those prices fell during the global financial crisis.

Bloomberg reported that Abe said the leaders at the summit engaged in a “full debate” on economic issues.

“We agreed on the perception that we are facing serious risks, that the world economy is facing serious risks,” Abe reportedly said.

Lehman Brothers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2008 — the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history.

    • Clearly, they are already demanding your exile. Yes! It's unfortunate that Pudgy spoiled a great discussion about science. I hope the discussion can continue without any more nonsensical interruptions. Just a suggestion since they are on your heels. Wow! You speak! It seems you have a lot to say! Now they are going to treat like, who do you think you are, mister big stuff! Are those aliens now going to imply that anyone who speaks out against the five or six key contributors to this site will be treated as though it is George just because those in opposition speak the language they hate to hear, the TRUTH? They are seeking individuals who will embrace their nonconformist values and appreciate what they can offer in shaping public opinion contrary to the established agenda of God and Christ. Their goal is to enhance their writing abilities and avoid squandering time on frivolous pursuits, mainly arguing about the truth they don't care for. They see it all as a mere game, even when leading people astray. They believe they have every right to and will face no biblical repercussions, or so they believe. They just want to have fun just like that Cyndi Lauper song. Be prepared to be belittled and ridiculed, all the while they claim to be angels. Haha! By the way, please refrain from using the same language as George. They appear to believe that when others use the same words, it means they are the same person, and they emphasize this as if no one else is allowed to use similar grammar. It seems they think only they have the right to use the same or similar writing styles. Quite amusing, isn't it? See, what I just placed in bold, now I'm George, lol! Now, let's leave this nice science thread for people that want to know more about science. I believe George left it at "Zero Distance."  
    • Nice little thread you’ve got going here, SciTech. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it.
    • It's truly disheartening when someone who is supposed to be a friend of the exclusive group resorts to using profanity in their comments, just like other members claiming to be witnesses. It's quite a ludicrous situation for the public to witness.  Yet, the "defense" of such a person, continues. 
    • No. However, I would appreciate if you do not reveal to all and sundry the secret meeting place of the closed club. (I do feel someone bad stomping on Sci’s little thread. But I see that has already happened.)
