Worse than the great depression

Hi Dudes and Dudettes - my 2c worth !

There is a great new "niche" business. its called spreading DOOM & GLOOM.
There are many so called experts out there trying to outdo each other predicting the end of life as we know it, and getting well paid for their efforts.

Remember - Bad News Sells.

Don't get me wrong, I think times are going to get a bit tougher, BUT if I believed what half of these guy's are predicting, I would be jumping off a high building with a rope around my neck after taking an overdose and ventilating my skull with the old .45

Keep Positive - "never give up, never surrender"

I think it is good to be informed about what is really going on. Not a matter of predicting the future but looking at what is happening. I love positive thinking but you can't plan for the future while ignoring the present. I can't say how bad things will get but I do see some big guys moving some things around and I really think most guys on this board are in a great position because the digital world is where the guys with money are taking us. There are lots of creative guys on this board it is just amazing to me and I can understand guys not wanting to get bombed. I do ttry to focus on making lemonaid from lemons but you got to acknowledge that the sour fruit is there.

I would have to say that is one of the dumbest things I have heard in a long time. I don't think you understand it either.

I'm not an American, don't live in the US, but are you kidding me? I can smell it a mile away, and it's affecting me too.

I know this. The guy who owns infowars.com is an anarchist called Alex Jones.

He is trying to sell the idea to the population that a new world order is on its way and if you listen to him he is like some crazed harpe.

He should not be taken seriously - neither should this bourgeoisie character Celente. There were about another million people who predicted the same things as Celente. He is a fraud and also they are part of the CIA.

They want to create anarchy in the streets, by pushing the image that it is gonna happen. They want to create a "self-fulfilling prophecy". It plays right into the hands of the few people at the top. They are their servants.

best,

Rudy

Alex Jones is far from being an anarchist.

man I read Some of these replies and scratch my head ?

Someone foolish enough to think a melt down worst then the depression would be good ?

I think you need to read up on what it was like in the 1930 .
it took 20 years for the stock market to fully recover ,and it did not stop greed did it ..

1930 people could not feed there kids so kids from 6 and up were off on their own jumping trains and going place to place to find food even work .
Ask those who lived through this time hard hard time ...

One post says those in leadship won't let this happen ? The ass in leadership are the ones at fault.
Hey! you know cannot spend what you don't have .


On Celente well you need to read more about him before you just think he's a nobody ...
It's like saying warren buffet is nothing because million others play the stock market .....

Obama's plan for economy The president-elect introduces his economic team and offers Grim predictions for 2009.

So much for Obama the savior ....

This is where BHW comes in. Work as much as you can now, save up for the winter to come like the story with the grassshopper and the ant.

Cooooookiessssssssss -_^

:usa:

This time last year Celente was forecasting that in 2008 the dollar would lose 90% of its value. See http://www.upi.com/Business_News/20...ollar_could_plunge_90_pct/UPI-48761195499806/ . The dollar is now stronger than it was a year ago. The guy makes a lot of predictions, including some very obvious ones, and is right on some of them, and completely wrong on others.

We can't rely on congress to help up, why?

"If con is the opposite of pro, is CONgress the opposite of PROgress?"


Point proven.

great, i just got a new job and a new house. Can't wait to lose it all!

No one can predict the future.

Not true. I can predict the future. This thread is stupid and will continue to be stupid into the future. What do you think?

Yes it's true that no one can predict the future, but if he has a track record of being correct over 90% of the time, either he knows something you don't know, or I just guess he just happens to guess correctly. Either way, he's got my attention.

The critical word here is "if". I'd be willing to bet he doesn't do better than 75%, though. It's easy to build up a record as a great predictor. (In fact there are scams based on this.) First of all, make a lot of predictions, some of them obvious ("Iraq will be a quagmire", "The housing market will crash") and some of them pretty off the wall. Spread them around in different web sites or publications. After the event most of the obvious ones and a few of the off the wall ones will have happened. Then put together a press release grouping together all the predictions that have come true and none of the ones that haven't. Hey, presto, you're a futurologist.

Sad how Quickly you dismiss this ...

Gerald Celente is recognized by the MAJOR MEDIA as the truth in trends.

Fact Celente is right every damn time.

Didn't you just post a link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Jones_(radio)' website? That nut job that thinks UFO terrorist attacks took down the world trade center with the help of the Zionist lobby in an attempt to establish the "New World Order" one world government and also wants to close th borders because the terrorists will get in?

You're probably not a rational thinker.

I guess you've never listened to Alex Jones for more than a few minutes. Alex doesn't think zionists did anything. In fact, he rarely talks about the jewish zionist connection to 911 and the van full of Israeli's that were arrested on the bridge with some explosives in their van, who were later released, sent back to Israel and then got on a talk show and talked about how they "had been instructed to videotape the "event"".

Alex Jones doesn't ever talk about zionism. Some say his wife is Jewish and the Midas Resources company that owns Genesis Radio Network also has ties to Israel.

IMO Alex Jones does get a lot of facts out that people should be seriously concerned about. But, in all fairness, Bill Cooper was a much better broadcaster and he himself called Alex Jones out for being a liar.

If you don't know who William "Bill" Cooper is then check out hourofthetime.com and view his past archives. He was gunned down in AZ by the local sheriff about a month and a half after 9-11.

I think if anyone in the Patriot movement knew what was going on it was Bill Cooper, and since he called Alex Jones out for being a liar, fraud, and a shill - I only listen to Alex Jones with a grain of salt.

Question everything. Research on your own.

I personally think 9-11 was an inside job and that our government has been corrupted at the highest levels.

This coming economic crash is planned by the same "think tanks" that planned or called for 9-11. PNAC etc.

I think our government needs to be afraid of our people again personally.

well, times should get worse before they get better

problem is.......

......... most people don't care.

......just as long as *their* needs are taken care of.
that's why the gov gets away with so much.

check the news from 6 months ago. after that politico was caught
with a call-girl, the madam threatened to go public with the names
of her clients -- many of whom were in congress.

guess what happened to her after she made her intentions public....
