Baruch warns that people who make specific dated predictions ...

[Baruch]

are either cranks like those who give a date for the end of the world (usually both are apocalypse porn) ... or they are terrorists who know when the false flag is going down from the CIA.  It is really disappointing for Ron Paul to fall into the Jeane Dixon wormhole.

I watched Ron Paul with interest, for 30 years.  Since he mid 80s.  I really thought he would do something rational with the national finances, but he was just a closet-racist kook, and a gold-nut.  One would have to understand why we went off the gold-silver standard ... and how we can't go back to it, but we can't stay on the fiat money roller coaster either.  It may be, and against American interests, that Russia-China-India will bring back a gold standard.  But I don't think they know what they are doing either.  They are simply grasping at straws, trying to avoid the anaconda squeeze of the dollar dominance.  And Iran demanding euros instead of dollars for their oil, is only a modest change, not really radical ... because without the dollar, the euro is toast.  Europe is mostly an American colony.  Look what just happened with Venezuela.  Chavez got their gold back, but the new demagogue is selling it back to the BIS, at a loss ;-(  A lot of gold has run off to China and India ... but I expect we intend to do to them what just happened to Venezuela.  But China and India have nukes.  What got Libya in hot water, was demanding gold for their oil.
