Personally, he could have a 1% accuracy rate (99 predictions flat-out wrong for every 1 he guessed right) and it still doesn't change how seriously I view the next four years ahead of us. Call it a blind squirrell finding the occasional nut, but I think in this case you'd damned near have to be that blind squirrell to see how bad Dear Leader and his merry band of idiots are going to be.
Put it this way: the fed gub'mint generates and monitors the numbers that "tell us" whether the economy is growing or is in recession. Yesterday's announcement from that numbnuts Hank Paulson that we are in a recession (well, duh, Hank!
) and that the economy has BEEN IN A RECESSION (2 consecutive quarters of negative growth before it's official) SINCE DECEMBER OF 07 (how many of us poor dumb bastards have you poo-pooed and pilloried as "naysayers" and "talking down the economy" over the past year because we dared to state the very same - obvious - thing?!?). It is proof positive that our "caring, concerned" gub'mint is not above outright lying to the American people, calling into question what our own guts tell is is really going on in order to get us to follow through on a course of action that our guts tell us will lead us to disaster ("just keep spending").
And this is under the Bush administration; a man who, while I could spend hours going off on the various and numerous political faults he possesses in abundance, inherent, instinctual dishonesty is not on that list, to my knowledge. Now take that known gub'mint MO, and insert a known dishonest, megalomaniac Dear Leader in place of honest President Bush (and then insert key players in the orchestration of the current fiscal crisis we find ourselves mired in, into the key treasury and "economic council" slots that president Bush currently has filled with merely incompetent personnel).
It is reasons such as this that those
20,000 US Soldiers to "bolster Domestic Security", I think. I think that the Washington elites are finding that the rest of us down here in flyover country aren't quite the sheeple that they had presumed we were. If we aren't sheeple, then they question whether they can blithely lead us down whatever primrose path they want us to trod, and then the question of, "if they won't follow, how do we get them there anyway" arises in their cynical little minds. They being big gub'mint types, and therefore accustomed to using force of arms in the implementation of their "benevolent policies", it's a small leap for them to apply force of arms more broadly, to other social policies that flyover Americans are less inclined to go on their own. Hence 20,000 troops, and their political leadership treading dangerously close to Posse Comitatus violations and providing an excellent example of why the Founding Fathers were so opposed to the Federal Government having a standing army at their beck and call.
I do not necessarily think that every individual point of his "prediction" will come to pass, but using it as a worst case, and using the remaining good days/weeks/months we have left before the Messiah's enlightened ministry triggers the trapdoor under this recession to drop into something much, much worse; to make the logistical and interpersonal preparations necessary to stand united against these elites; by preparing for this "worst case", we're much better prepared for the lesser, more probable cases we're likely to encounter in reality.
