$60 Trillion of World Debt in One Visualization - Visual Capitalist

http://www.visualcapitalist.com/60-trillion-of-world-debt-in-one-visualiz...

Two weeks ago, we published a post showing the world economy in one visualization. In the corresponding comments
section, a user asked us if we could put together a similar visualization but instead honing in on world debt.
Todays visualization breaks down $59.7 trillion of world debt by country, as well as highlighting each countrys
debt-to-GDP ratio using colour. The data comes from the IMF and only covers public government debt. It excludes the
debt of countrys citizens and businesses, as well as unfunded liabilities which are not yet technically incurred yet. All
gures are based on USD.
The numbers that stand out the most, especially when comparing to the previous world economy graphic:
The United States constitutes 23.3% of the world economy but 29.1% of world debt. Its debt-to-GDP ratio is
103.4% using IMF gures.
Japan makes up only 6.18% of total economic production, but has amounted 19.99% of global debt.
China, the worlds second largest economy (and largest by other measures), accounts for 13.9% of production. They
only have 6.25% of world debt and a debt-to-GDP ratio of 39.4%.
7 of the 15 countries with the most total debt are European. Together, excluding Russia, the European continent
holds over 26% of total world debt.
Combining the debt of the United States, Japan, and Europe together accounts for 75% of total global debt.

excellent graph interesting numbers. Now what about the opposite side of the story the profit. Are there any
nations on the profit side? In theory the profit side should be the opposite of the debt side as the balance should
be zero for the globe. If its negative i.e. there is more debt than profit then I would suggest that that amount of debt
can never be repaid and will need removing from the books. The globe is a closed system, money has to be
balanced.

James Creighton

It is not nations that profit from debt - it is the "creditors" that benefit - the bankers - i.e. ultimately, the
Rothschild dynasty. And remember that the vast majority of the "money" that is produced by the creditors
for the borrowers is fiat - i.e. counterfeit - produced out of thin air - no gold backing - no silver backing - no
property backing - STUFF ALL. This is a scam on a vast, VAST scale. BUT, thanks to the internet, an
increasing number of citizens are discovering the scam - ..... - - - - - ropes and lamposts soon .......

If only that were true. Don't forget: the U.S.--and most major countries--are populated by a herd of
sheep...not lions. Expect no changes and you won't be disappointed.

Romm333

This. The general population is nothing but an ignorant mass of sheep.


Trying to explain the truth to this group is more difficult than teaching a cockroach calculus.
It's even dangerous: Not to many people can absorb the simple fact that most of everything
they have been told by Government, Pharmaceuticals, the Oil Industry, the Banking cartels,
the Food Industry, etc is complete fabricated lies to keep them slaves, uneducated and
marching forward to their death after they have served their purpose.

It's the New World Order Agenda 21.


The Trilateralists are in collusion with the Illuminati.

I read a post that stated; on the MH370 flight was 4 of 5 copyright owners to a highly secretive new
tracking device, due to the unfortunate demise of these men, Jacob Rothschild is now the sole
copyright owner?
Apparently the passenger manifests of all these 'mishaps' and the Amtrak rail disasters, reads like
a John Le Carre spy novel, add in the 74+ Scientists and the 150+ Bankers who have been
'suicided' and we have a great film?
MH17 had Glenn Thomas, a WHO scientist / spokesperson who was about to blow the whistle on
their 'fake Ebola' scam, conducted by George Soros?

Just watch "The Money Masters" and you'll see how the Rothschild (Red Shield) started the whole
banking system.
