I think that characterizes Silicon Investor as a whole, doesn't it? LOL! About 95% true. However, among the noise are individual worthwhile clues, whether investment or politics. Any of those clues, regardless who posts them, are valuable to the extent they can be confirmed by other sources, or to the extent they begin to connect the dots, and most of all to the extent they can be predictive... My point is responding to challenges to individual posters can't be a priority for anyone interested in the truth. Its a waste of time to make those challenges, or respond to them. The posters here are neither the prime movers in gov't nor investigative reporters & are just lightening rods. If any of the things posted here are disturbing, the important thing is being able to track them down on one's own, watch with a skeptical eye rather than believing what the gov't and media puts out. If you believe either gov't, or posters here, without independent verification, you're doomed. If you wait for others to spoon-feed you instead of doing the research yourself it just means you don't care, so save your breath. Its easy to be dismissive of things that disturb one's cherised beliefs. The facts are more important that any consideration of posters' credibility. Example: I ran across fringe characters like Alex Jones at infowars.com and voxfux.com, assuming them to be merely amusing and wrong. In checking the facts and predictions it turns out there is a significant percentage valid information, some of which is extremely disturbing. Alex Jones posits a vast New World Order conspiracy behind the scenes causing enslavement of citizens of all countries, which sounds nuts, and unprovable, dots connected by extreme paranoia. What's compelling are the incidents and legislation pointing towards fascism, each of which stands scrutiny. Its time to forget about larger paranoid conclusions, look at each incremental theft of our liberties, whether the larger issues are true or not. On the deck of the Titanic the steward tells a passenger the ship is sinking so get in the lifeboat. The passenger tells the steward, "I don't believe you, I heard you were a malcontent, your shoes aren't shined properly, and your shirtfront is wrinkled". Meanwhile the steward is saying, "Look around you, idiot, there's 6" of water in your cabin, the ship is sinking !" I.e., better to investigate the message than attack the messenger.
