Train Wreck of the Week - October 23 2005
http://www.theinternationalforecaster.com/trainwreck.php?Id=96&PHPSESSID=43fc7af85c02a4c3e18a8cd32c529cc0
by Robert Chapman who once again, NAILS IT! Highlights:

The centralized top down approach of the present administration is not working and the public realizes something is wrong. Americans are losing confidence in their government. This lack of faith comes at a time when we face a financial, economic and monetary collapse. If we collapse the whole world collapses with us. The administration, Congress and the public do not want to deal with it. They want it to go away and it isn’t going to go away. Americans are apathetic and they simply refuse to deal with the truth. Our financial and economic situation today is as dangerous as it gets. Let’s hope they wake up soon. AOL has been since its inception an operating entity of the US intelligence apparatus. Their latest admission is that they have formed a partnership with Fatherland Security to permit unlimited surveillance on AOL subscribers, as reported by the US Department of Commerce. They for years have supplied intelligence on subscribers and have allowed government agencies free access. We have told you this time after time for the past ten years.

What AOL did illegally for years was legalized under the Patriot Act, which permits warrantless searches of persons and property. If you use AOL all your personal emails and information is distributed to law enforcement all over the country. American and European business communities are fearful trade secrets may end up in the hands of the Bush crime family and their associates worldwide, never mind the dossiers that are being build upon average American citizens. We have had extensive problems with sending to AOL subscribers for years. AOL has blocked any messages that contain links to sites that AOL forbids you to see. Using software AOL is able to kick back any email that even mentions a forbidden site. AOL members can white-list senders, but it has no effect at all on the pre-filtering that AOL does before the email ever gets delivered. One journalist said AOL bounced 88% of the newsletters that had been sent to subscribers who use AOL, including cs.com and netscape.net. AOL deletes huge quantities of mail prior to delivery.

In August, AOL paid $1.25 million in penalties and costs and has to reform some of its customer services practices to settle an investigation by AG Eliot Spitzer’s office. Three hundred customers said AOL ignored demands to cancel service and stop billing. That has been going on for six years. In similar complaints in April they paid $75,000 to the AG in Ohio. The complaints are legion. A site just dropped all of its AOL subscribers because AOL wouldn’t deliver to their subscribers. We warn you now it is only a matter of time before we have to drop AOL. If you are an email subscriber we advise you to find another ISP. Every week we have problems that you can avoid by changing carriers.


The question now is what is Sir Alan Greenspan going to do to the economy before he leaves? There is no indication that in the next 100 days that he is going to reduce money and credit. We believe he’ll raise interest rates to 4 1/4% or 1/2% prior to his departure at the end of January. We expect a continuing of the current Greenspan policy. That means the intention is to lower rates in the second half of 2006 to neutralize recession. If they do that we’ll go into hyperinflation as many lose their homes and many enter bankruptcy. Of course, gold and silver will soar. They have no other option. They cannot cut money and credit creation. Even if they did the Fed would monetize debt, which is immediately inflationary to keep the ship from sinking. The economy has already softened with the additional assist from Katrina and Rita. Yes, we’ll get a 1/2% increase in two of the next three FOMC meeting. They’ll be more scandals and our president may well be impeached. They’ll be indictments and more corporate and Wall Street scandals to add to this witches brew. Sell stocks, real estate and bonds. Short the market, be in short-term Treasury paper, if you have to be there and have the bulk of your assets in gold and silver related assets and commodity based stocks, such as copper, oil and gas.

Then...AOL cums along and RUINS IT! (Kinda like Microshit did to Hotmail...turds.)

2. A-O-Smell stinks
AOL is for people who think AOL *is* the Internets.

I do consulting work for some AOLers. Whenever I talk about the Internets they presume that I mean AOL. I tell them about FireFox and they think this is a new AOL. I talk about e-mail clients and they ask, "Do you mean AOL?" It's downright bizarre. Possibly brilliant marketing by AOL?

4. It's funny...
It's funny, if you have a hotmail account, you're trying to avoid spammers in your real in box. If you have AOL, you know nothing about computers or the Internets.
