Doug, I used to try to carry on a dialogue with "Ron Reece" and each time, just as you so astutely noted, he "does this imitation of a politician replying to a question with a pre-made canned speech with total disregard to the question." After many frustrating attempts at true communication I did a little digging and discovered what I should have suspected earlier. Did you ever get to play with the very crude and rudimentary software programs which if you fed them your own nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. these programs would compose a poem for you? Crude early attempts to simulate human word compositions. Well, that was then and now we are into fourth and fifth generation programs that simulate human communication called response robots (RR for short). I know of these programs because I do some consulting work with the software geeks. Yes, you are being duped. "Ron Reece" (or RR), is a response robot and is only a fourth generation program capable of producing Simulated Human Intercourse Transmissions (combine the first letters to arrive at the current laboratory acronym we use). It is a prototype program that when furnished with the group-think propaganda is able to string together the information it has been fed. I can tell it is only a fourth generation prototype because it isn't really capable of responding well to the key words or questions in your communications to it. Many people are bowled over by the software's logorrhea and immediately assume that what it is telling them must be true and they begin parroting what it has told them. That is the purpose of a response robot. The next generation programs currently in development are so good they fool most people into thinking they are communicating with a real human. Why go to all this effort to develop RR technology? It is obvious to people like you that the current mainstream media is almost totally controlled and shaped to manipulate the collective consciousness of the masses and it is working quite well. However, the Internet has become the predominant media for the dissemination of individual free thought and is a tremendous threat to those who control the masses. As a result the powers that be are investing billions of dollars in devising RR technology. Once perfected they will be able to attach it to the Internet threads which are inhabited by blasphemous free-thinkers and if not ruin the thread, at least keep others from being swayed away from the group think. Now that you know the secret to "Ron Reece", the only reason to communicate with "him" is if you want to participate in RR beta testing. Hope this information will relieve your frustration RAJ

Doug, No crime has been committed. The CB's bought and hoarded gold and now they are selling it. They bought it in order to bring stability to their currencies after OPEC induced inflationary turmoil. They artificially supported the gold market by removing 14 years worth of supply from the market and now they are returning that supply to the system that profited from their monopolization. The gold market is distorted and needs to go through a corrective phase similiar to what occurred in the oil market. There has been over-production caused by these artificially high prices and the mining companies know it, accounting for selling forward some 10 years worth of supply (if the data is accurate). And don't feel bad Doug... most of the gold-bugs let the reality of their situation go in one ear and out the other, without facing much resistance. Regards, Ron
