– So
how did all the experts get caught by "surprise" by this economic
meltdown?
Fact is, they didn't. That's
right. Writers at The Moderate Independent aren't geniuses or
psychics. What we write others say behind closed doors.
In fact, I personally heard an account rep from one of the firms
that "surprisingly" went bankrupt tell a closed door group of
clients months ago that this wouldn't just be a little recession,
but that there was a debt beyond anything seen even before the great
depression, and it would likely be a worse crash than the Japanese
market crash - which is still only at 24% of where it was, and it is
20 years later.
And yet people from that same company,
when talking as "experts" in the non-M/I media, said nothing of the
sort. As they were having their clients move more and more out
of stocks and into cash equivalents because of a massive coming
crash they knew was looming, they were in the media saying, hmm,
don't know if there'll be a recession, maybe this little downturn
like thing will be over in two months, maybe three.
Behind closed doors, the rep said
plainly, clearly, that that was nonsense, and based on nothing
related to the actual situation.
And, of course, his correctness was
evidenced by his very company going completely kerplunk - by
"surprise," as Paulson would tell us - it was one of the final four
that led to the "bailout" proposal.
So the lesson of this crash is no
surprise: there are "experts" out there knowingly lying to us
about things that will lead to all out catastrophes. Which
means the following things:
1) Immediately stop using your
cell phone. Yes, "experts" tell you there is no elevated risk
of brain cancer. Despite the fact that recent studies show
50-100% increased risk in adults, five-fold or more risk in
children. Yes, for deadly brain cancer. Five-fold.
(See
UK Independent Article)
Odd, didn't hear that in our news.
Yes, some older studies and long term
ones didn't show that risk. Here's a clue: cell phones
used to have antennas. For some reason (prettiness I guess,)
now the antennas are all internal. As in right up against your
head as you speak. That few inches of difference has
completely changed the ballgame. Don't wait for the "experts"
or the media to give you permission or the go ahead: stop now.
For real.
2) Global warming. Need I
say anything more than that? What bogus bailout plan will be
available? We are 10 years behind when we needed to act.
Like people have called Congress about this bailout plan, they need
to burn the lines down right now. Really.
3) 200 million Americans are
dangerously overweight. The word "dangerously" is real.
90,000 preventable, weight-caused cancer deaths each year.
Currently. (See
MSNBC article.) Stroke among women aged 35-54 has
increased 300% over a five year period. (See
Newsweek
article.)
Before we even get to diabetes or heart
diseases. 90,000 people dying annually from this situation.
That's like thirty 9/11's a year. And nothing. No
serious call to action, never mind action. My advice again:
um, don't wait. Act now. For real. With all
seriousness and desperation to fix the fixable.
Thing is, as you can see, with all of
these situations and others, it is not that The Moderate Independent
has secret information. It is just there is a ban on speaking
actual truth anywhere else. Nothing is allowed to be put
together or raised seriously. Why? It would upset you,
and so make you change the channel.
In India yesterday, a group of laid-off
workers beat a CEO to death. They had stood up against the
company using them as part-time workers, and so not giving them job
security or benefits. He laid them off. A mob formed and
beat him to death. (See
UK Times article)
Americans have let corporations do that
to us for decades now. In fact, we made Wal-Mart number one
for doing it. Made Manpower Inc., a temp agency, the number
one employer in the nation.
Too bad
TV isn't as interesting in India, or they could be collapsing
soon, too. And that CEO could still be alive to give himself
nine-figure bonuses for the next years. And then sit there
laughing as he gets handed billions more in a bailout.
