Not what I expected from the headline. [Report this comment] Posted by: Sojourner on Mar 28, 2008 2:23 PM Current rating: 3 [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] I expected information about current financial conditions. Instead all I heard was Bush and McCain repeat their lies, which I have heard enough times before. Had the piece been titled correctly, "GOP Lies" I would not have bothered, which is probably what the film makers also thought. When you've seen one lie, you've seen them all.

[Report this comment] Posted by: joeunix on Mar 28, 2008 3:00 PM Current rating: 4 [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] George W. Bush states--and I quote--"I don't think we're heading into recession." Always remember, never believe anything until it's officially denied.

The Bear Stearns meltdown is just the first ripple in the pond. We've just started; you ain't seen nothing yet. What we are facing in the coming months and years is something no civilizations have ever endured. There will be no way to stop the meltdown. Their advice: "Stay close to your families and friends; try to help each other; get right with your Creator." If your able to, buy some gold or silver, and try to stock up on food and water. The Depression video will be coming soon. [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5] Is Disaster Capitalism coming to an area near you? [Report this comment] Posted by: nochicagoboys on Mar 29, 2008 1:12 PM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] Naomi Klein may have predicted the ultimate prize of the disaster capitalists. Everything, previously, may have just been a dress rehearsal. Let's hope, and if you're of that persuasion, pray, that 2008 isn't the apocalyptic year many are fearing it may be.

This whole economic mess has been a witches brew for over 20 years and is just now coming to some sort of head, but if Mark is anywhere near close with his book, everyone on this planet is in some very deep shit that makes the economics of the world look like a nice warm shower. If, according to the author the Earth's temp. gets about 2 degrees Cent. warmer by the year 2015 we will have passed the fail safe zone and from that point on, what we as a species do, WILL NOT MATTER, the organic system of the planet will take over and rid itself of the parasites messing things up, US-and all forms of anamial life no later than 2100. It is now 2008-and we are on the clock!! Sure in hell hope he is wrong. The book is well footnoted. Please be lying.

[Report this comment] Posted by: powerplant on Mar 30, 2008 10:28 PM Current rating: 5 [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] A recession. No I don't think so. I've seen this movie already. Now comes the long awaited sequel to the story that was written in the 1930's by John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath 2, the Abyss. Thank you George "Hoover" Bush for going to war in Iraq over the biggest nothing ever. Why do you think the gas prices are so high? A war machine, army, navy, air force has to run on oil. Yes it is that simple. Where do you think it's coming from? Not Iraq that's for sure the U.S. is selling that off to other countries like China. The gas is one of the major problems why we are heading for another great depression. This is how you bring down the Middle East. MAKE ELECTRIC CARS! Oh don't give me that crap people like oh, we would have to take years at making one. Well, dammit, start working on them Big 3 of Detroit. For god sakes it only took us 9years to go to the moon. 9 YEARS!!! And that was hard, this is simple because Detroit, you've made electric cars already. Don't give me that crap about about that they will be too expensive to put on the market. BULL SHIT! Just a little rant to get things off my chest but if we as a nation and the world continue like this well it's back to caves and fires for us human beings. Come on we're better than this people. Stop war and change your thinking about the world. Better ourselves and man kind. [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5]
