Yesterday, Jim Clifton, the Chairman and CEO of Gallup, an iconic U.S. company dating back to 1935, told CNBC that he was worried he might “suddenly disappear” and not make it home that evening if he disputed the accuracy of what the U.S. government is reporting as unemployed Americans.

Now ok, I haven't previously read "Wall Street Parade" and so this might be a total scam, but I sure do not believe the numbers our people have been publishing now for an entire generation.

America needs to bring back jobs. To America.

For real.

Where has this Gallup CEO been for the last six years?

He is NOT going to ‘disappear’. Democrats may play rough, but they do not “off” people that disagree with them.

(but if I were him, I would now make a point of checking my brake lines before getting in the car after work...accidents do happen)

America needs to bring back jobs. To America

Will that do any good? It seems they give the majority, if not all, of the jobs currently remaining here to non Americans anyway.

I guess the real story here is the fact that the Federal Government really is being run by gangsters, and yet so many Americans remain clueless. Can you imagine a CEO making this kind of statement even 10 years ago?

I googled Wall Street Parade along with 'hoax' and 'tabloid'. Nothing jumped out at me after a hasty scan. Only two hits when adding 'tabloid' -- and neither had anything to do with the website. Still, I agree with your caution [especially since I'm not really up to speed with the latest].

He might not disappear, but he may be the target of the next DOJ suit ala SandP for downgrading US Securities.

This guy suddenly speaking up does raise the obvious question “why now?

The simple explanation may be that when the face of Stupid Leftisim begins to fail the Stupids begin looking for another face, necessitating the destruction of the reining face in order to preserve the movement. The failure must be kept away from The Movement and localized as much as possible.

this would be him stating:

‘i’m not feeling suicidal and have no intention of running away. if i die suddenly or disappear, there was foul play.’

he knows the data. he knows the players involved, prolly more then anyone.

Rush Limbaugh has been telling this information for years and years. It’s true .. they are playing with the numbers. It actually started in the Clinton years.

Here’s why Obama is doing this: When GWBush left office, the unemployment rate was 5.4.

That number has always been the goal for Obama’s gang, and they don’t seem to care what they have to do to get it.

I think Gallup’s CEO’s fears are justly imagined.

However, with a major election coming up in 2016, I believe he exposed this lie by the DEMS in order to keep Gallop’s reputation.

Believe me .. there really are some people who believe in the truth.

Maybe we need to add this guy to our prayer list ..??

Hey Jim,

For the near future you should avoid the following;
1. Ft Marcy Park.
2. In any building over 5 stories tall, avoid all windows and the roof.
3. Starting your own automobile.
4. Consuming any food until “tasted”.
5. Smoking any cigars or pursue your interest in conch shells.
6. .......

IOW, he played his “get home tonight” card so he’s safe from being Hastings’d but he’ll continue to print the lies the admin is feeding him.

For several years, Gallup has been publishing info that the ‘current’ unemployment numbers are fudged.

Nearly weekly, they would release an article claiming that the ‘real’ unemployment number was several whole numbers higher than what the BLS was saying.

I wonder why Clifton is worried now.

Wall Street on Parade takes the Elizabeth Warren position on Wall Street.

On this topic I occasionally find facts the radical Left is able to dig up to be interesting. That is because I agree with some of their policy positions regarding Wall Street. For example: Congress making the federal government liable for the derivative exposures of the major banks. Warren was vocal in opposition. Sen Cruz, unfortunately, was not.
