Bush was Weimar. We have reached the next stage already.
“and those whose leaders are stupid, weak and unlucky suffer or perish.”
Not to mention lying, greedy, and corrupt.
very interesting. Certainly the direction we are heading.
"Wood predicts that by the end of the decade there will no longer be a possibility that the world's central banks can control the situation, and there will be a truly massive devaluation of the dollar. 'The view here is that the U.S. dollar will have disintegrated by the end of this decade. By then, the target price of gold bullion is U.S. $3,400 an ounce.'"
One thing we really haven't seen is the massive moves on the dollar or gold that have always been predicted. They trend that direction, but they don't move in the way that some claim it will. I believe the factor that is missing is that the value of the dollar generally is measured by its relative weight to other currencies, thus if a downturn affects other countries, you will see little relative change. With gold, a lot of folks see it as an insurance, not as a growth opportunity. With the higher taxation on the increase in value as well as the issue of storage, it isn't as attractive that some make it out to be.
More support for the folks who refer to Reagan as “Ronaldus Magnus” (a Charlemagne reference). Despite all that Charlemagne accomplished, his successors were unworthy and allowed the empire to atrophy and die.

This is predicted because of the massive trade deficits, massive federal deficits and massive personal debt that stupid politicians and citizens have accumulated. Since the target date is only seven years from now, we have only the 2004 elections to replace idiots with some smart people who might be able to head off this disaster.
Precient.
Nice peice, and fitting. I feel that I must say that Doc Mike (love him or hate him) talks about this very subject from time to time. I truly have always belived that when you give a person that has never payed taxes (not due to circumstances beyond thier control) the right to vote, you end up with a welfare state, surely this is compounded by all the other BS that is going on. In the end, (and I belive we are WAY beyond the tipping point) just as with the Weimar republic, we may see a revolution, or an outright war. I’d like to be optimistic like Queen Amidala (SP) from Star Wars, and “..pray for sanity within the senate”, but in the case of the US government, it seems a self fullfilling prophesy (sp) that history will repeat itself, as history always does.
And I’d like to add one more thing, I’d like to say to the Elites, The Congress Critters, the folks in charge, and others in power, YOU made this happen, not me, I’m just a lonely poor white boy. (oh great, now I got Bohemian Rapsidy(SP) running through my head, it could be worse, it could be Rap)
