The Dark Side of the Looking Glass
Sanity Check ^ | 2004-2005 | Dr. Patrick M. Byrne

Posted on 06/27/2006 11:53:59 AM PDT by Hostage

There are 20+ million readers of FR. Most everyone of them are among the most intelligent Americans that exist today.

This is a 1-hour presentation about a scandal that dwarfs Enron, a scandal that should be as important in our thinking as the War on Terror and in fact interplays with WOT.

Once America has an understanding of this scandal, the revolution that ensues will change American markets and politics as severely as the Great Depression transformed American society of the 1930s and 1940s.

The revolution this scandal will generate could go in any direction. It is the duty of conservatives to educate themselves of the mechanics of this incredible crime and to ensure that needed reforms are driven away from socialist remedies and towards transparency.

Part of the problem this scandal encompasses includes NAKED SHORT SELLING in our capital markets.

You may think that the capital markets do not affect your life, but that would be wrong thinking, The following presentation will open your eyes and start the process of making you think hard about your future and everyone else's.

This is no tin-foil hat conspiracy. This is as real as it gets, much more real than any news buzz of the day.

The only reason you haven't heard about it before is because no one has been able to explain to you. You may have caught a whiff of it when REFCO hit the national and international news outlets. But likely you didn't understand what was really in front of you.

It is a complex matter but once your eyes are opened you will understand it is driven by the same vices of greed, larceny and counterfeit fraud that have existed throughout human history.

The presentation is timely meaning the mid-2000s. Because chances are if you are 50 years or less of age you won't see a retirement and social security will not be helpful (if it still exists for you).

To understand how this scandal affects your retirement, you may also want to view the Frontline piece from May 16, 2006 entitled "Can You Afford to Retire?".

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/retirement/

No, this is not a post about how 'the sky is falling'. This scandal can be exposed and understood. The problems it has caused in our society can be fixed but only if you take the time to get smart about it. Your mission is to lift the fog draped around you by those that would have you remain blind.

Remember that the problem with exposing this scandal is because it is COMPLICATED. So please study it and boil it down to the following mantra:

Settle the Trades and Disclose the Failures!

or

Market Transparency Now!

or any other mantra that Freepers are famous for inventing.

And finally, when you observe your retirement and the retirement of others pull a disappearing act, be ready to push for political reforms based on your superior understanding of who the real culprits are and what is needed to ensure our American way of life.

"There are 20+ million readers of FR"



I find it hard to believe that more than 20 million different people read FR, where does that number come from?

Try listening to the presentation link I posted. Your link is for nutjobs. The link I posted is for everyday ordinary Americans.

"This is no tin-foil hat conspiracy."





Really! I'd say this is a full-scale tape aluminum foil over all your windows conspiracy. In fact, it's a big enough conspiracy that you might just want to build a Faraday cage around your entire house.

Uffda!

This is one of those things that the regulators should address but are chronically disinclined to do so until there is a massive crisis. If that happens, the government will do things: print more money so as to prevent a liquidity crisis; and then express shock about the scandals and deny that they reach into the political and regulatory system, which, of course, they do.

>>2. Removes US administration officials and all members of the US Congress from their positions due to their continuous unconstitutional actions. Bush, Cheney, Cabinet members, and all members of Congress are immediately removed from office by NESARA’s public announcement; specific law enforcement personnel shall physically remove Bush government officials from their offices. <<

Is this something you are advocating? Forceful overthrow of the Federal government? Or is this just a link you provided?

I am not selling anything. If you don't have the time for the presentation, then blow it off. Or bookmark it for later.

Nothing is being sold here.

The reason I put it out here is because it is a real problem that is DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN. There's a fair chance that Freepers can boil this thing down so that the everyday Joe can grasp it (I hope).

The fact that you responded within a few minutes means you haven't listened to the following:

http://www.businessjive.com/nss/darkside.html

I guarantee if you take the time and try to understand it you will find that nothing is being sold here. It's for education only.

Again your response is within a few minutes of the original posting. It is impossible that you listened to the following:

http://www.businessjive.com/nss/darkside.html


Try listening and studying and then come back and mouth off all you want.

Given the huge amount of information there is out there, you'll need to come up with a better reason than this for me to go sit through a presentation.

Let's start with your opening premise...that there are 20+ million FR readers. That's wrong by at least two orders of magnitude.

So, if you can't get even that right, why should I bother with your post at all? Is the math in that presentation on the same level of accuracy as your statement? If so, then it's worthless.

So tell us why we should bother....

Thank you. The first intelligent response so far. But you've must have been informed previously.

Nevertheless, please do take the time to listen to this presentation:

http://www.businessjive.com/nss/darkside.html

or bookmark for later. Even though you are wise to what's going on, the above link is still educational and I would value your comments as to how it can be made simpler for the average Joe to grasp.

Nice attempt to blow sunshine up our asses. I can assure you as an eight-year veteran of this forum, the average intelligence here is reflective of the average intelligence in America -- i.e., it's average. Indeed, with any population sampling of the size you provided, the average intelligence will be ... average.
