End of America?

I got this Shell. You can't over rule a Demi God anyways. Don't even try.

Now now my apprentice, only in time may you become a Demi God

Hi Moonie

Just want to make sure I'm not over-stepping any bounds with my posts and I just want to make clear that I'm not hear to promote the guys product. I just saw the guys video and thought it would be interesting conversation as many scary facts were brought up in his video. I just want to make sure everything is kosher and hope that I'm not breaking any rules with this thread, as adoptascot has closed me down a great many times. Just let me know if I'm crossing any boundaries or anything like that and I'll comply. don't want to offend anyone, especially the Demi Gods of this forum.

Thought I would quote this one as you like to edit posts to change your wording.
'Closed you down a great many times'?, here we go again with you taking it so personally again that I closed a thread. Just for clarification when I say taking it personally I mean your campaign, duty, responsibility to make people aware about something.
I don't close anyone down, I wouldn't want to even if I could as everyone has a voice (which I always enjoy reading) but there's a difference between expressing an opinion and wanting a parade.

Well if all you want to do is discuss if this guy has any credibility at all, he doesn't. If you're "raising awareness" that this is a scam, it is, and now we all know. Thread closed.

Wasn't raising awareness that this was a scam. Infact, when I started this thread I didn't realize that it might be a scam, and I'm still not sure if it is a total scam or not. All I know is that some of the facts brought up in the video are alarming and worth discussing. Sorry if I've offended you or made you upset. It was not my intent. Can we all just get along?

Shell,
I know better not to try and argue. Sorry, it won't happen again.

Competition in an increasingly global economy requires shifting priorities and realizing that you can't rest on our laurels. And this is a problem that proper policy--in terms of strategic investments in human capital--can help to rectify.

If you mean that greater investment in education needs to happen, you're right, but that alone will not change a thing. Our education system is our number one problem, and I'd argue that the quality of such is largely a function of government control.

The U.S. public is ultimately responsible for whatever happens or fails to happen.

And if control of education were returned to those who are ultimately responsible, I would bet you'd see a radical improvement. As it is now, we have no choice but to defer to the least responsible among us for the most important product we invest in.

I say ban all lobbyists. That's a start here.

Lobbyists only exist to protect business from the government. The worst of them see government as a partner in crime, but those kinds of businesses would not exist if the situation didn't exist in the first place.

The United States can't continue with its current financial system or the country will eventually fall into a major economic crisis and no budget cuts or buy outs will help us. We need a fundamental change at how we run this country.

We can start by not trying to run it. No top level oversight is capable of practically managing the entire economy. The only two fundamental options available are total state control and total freedom from state control. Our current system is a mix, and as control has increased, the situation has worsened. Efforts to introduce greater freedom are constantly spun to take the blame for the dislocations caused by the controls which remain.

There's really only one answer to the problem (not that I expect anyone to accept it; the Tea Party is the closest, but they really don't get it either).

Protect businesses from government? Maybe that's why they came into existence eons ago, but that's not what they're about now.

That's what I was referring to in the second part of what you quoted. Even now, not all businesses use the government for favors, but that's exactly the kind of relationship that becomes possible when you give such broad arbitrary powers to a virtually unaccountable group of people.

It's all about unaccountablity. One of the biggest crimes in the financial history of this country, -the mortgage/financial mess- and nobody is in jail?! Because there was no oversight and no accountability. All the wall street tycoon CEOs with all their wealth and resources were able to buy justice to walk away from their crimes with more money in their pockets. They just weren't accountable I guess, even though they just about gave every tom, d#ck and harry a mortgage loan without any proof of income, so as long as they were able to spell and sign their own name. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class gets screwed with the bill.

That tinfoil looks cute on you. Everybody's entitled to an opionion. Obviously you disagree that this country is in financial crisis.

Amazing that out of it all, you latch onto that, something I never stated. Everybody understands the country's still in a recession. I don't buy that the USA is gonna end in 12 months. These idiots pray on the week minded, bible thumping trailer trash who don't hesitate to order their crap with their 15th or 16th credit card because the previous ones are maxed with other infomercial garbage and tithe donations.

Even still, I hardly think this convict, despite his grandiose epiphany, will be the one to lead the charge to financial recovery. I don't care how many pages his newsletter is. We recovered from the 30's recession with less resources than we have now. We'll recover from this one too. Maybe if other countries stepped up to the plate and paid off their war debts, that'd help? Just a thought.

Feel free bud. Though it'll likely get deleted by Nurse Ratched. Either way, I'm treading this one lightly.

No please don't. I need something to do hoss.

Given what's already there, you got a bit on your plate already.

One blanket statement deserves another

The guy is most definately using scare tactics, by saying things will go to hell in 12months. But some of the issues he raises about world currency and money printing and inflation(chances are there will be a little deflation before inflation but still) are very real. If congress doesn't stop spending like money grows on trees, we are in for a lot of hurt. Let's hope both parties come to some kind of LONG term solution to our debt wooos.
