” When we pulled the money out of the stock market that March 2007, the lady told me to be sure and not put any of the money in Washington Mutual.”

“gee robroy, here we are in September of 2008”
Yeah. When I posted it my only comment was:
“I got this in an email. Is this Conspiracy theory whackjob stuff or does anybody else have more info on it?”
It was pretty much settled at the time that it was whackjob conspiracy stuff.

Except it is now looking like it wasn’t. ;)
What I love about these “short term prediction” things is that they are easy to confirm in a “short term”. I was waiting for September but, to be honest, completely forgot about it. Looking back it is a bit disconcertingly accurate. And then there is February...
repeat after me
“February 2009 prediction is tin hat stuff”
>>February 2009 prediction is tin hat stuff<<
Outside the context of this thread, I’d think you were serious. Within the context of this thread I detect a hint of sarcasm. ;)
What is fascinating to me is that back in 2006 I was predicting that this thing could actually get worse than the great depression. Not only was I vilified for it, but even I had a hard time accepting it. My raw understanding of history and human nature told me it was a very real possibility, but my emotions just could not fathom it.
It turned out to be more real than even I thought.
It is like the time Bill Gates made the comment that computers could reach a standard price point below $1,000 and it seemed ridiculous, if it were not for him being the one saying it. What I am saying is that it is all about our ability to break strong paradigms.
With all that said, I actually DO think the February 2009 prediction is believable - and MUCH MORE so than last March. Just look at how our leaders (and leaders of certain other countries) are acting. It is peculiar.
I am one of those that believes this stimulus package will pass in one form or another. I am also one of those that believe that if it does, in a few months we will be in the same condition, only worse, and several hundred billion down.
Say, isn’t next February just a few months away?

Don’t bet the farm on it ... the future will tell.
Take what cautions you would take IF it were truth.
Better to be safe than sorry.
The main thing is consider all the credit card balances ... pay them off now.
Wow. I guess sometimes the tinfoil hats are right, after all.
Bump..........
watching the news, friend
What’s the news?
Been at school for several hours.
Great points.
Well, the first part of pure tinfoil hat delusionary fantasy no longer looks so far-fetched.
Just reminded of this article from another article talking about Army troops beng used to “protect” the citizenry
>>Well, the first part of pure tinfoil hat delusionary fantasy no longer looks so far-fetched.<<
And factor in the potential riots after the election and this:

We could really collapse a lot of world view paradigms in the next few months. Our whole world could change as dramatically (allbeit differently) as they did on that fateful day in 1939 for Poland.
Ahhhh.
Thx.
