Sunfish - i'm with you 100% in regards to the Illuminati. the Venetian Accord took very large puts against airline companies in Aug 01, and very large puts on banks and financial institutions on Oct 07.
something isn't right. looking at the way the GFC is now falling, there's framework there. it's not visible, but it's there. like watching the twin towers collapse with controlled demolition - any fool can see the buidlings didnt just fall like pisa. money is being drawn away systematically worldwide - inflation, asset writedowns, devaluation, sharemarket....there is no where safe to park your money.
maybe some of you remember me pointing out that when one house of cards falls, and everyone moves thier money to the next house of cards, that one falls. and so on and so forth.
now, just when you think "hmmm - maybe the missus SHOULD go back to work" or "wow, i should prob get a second job" - a majority of daycare centres (ABC Leaning and everyone they were looking to buy out) are now folding.
now you can scoff all you like. no, i don't think the Illuminati were directly behind some moron CEO and his daft ideas about a sound business structure.
but....why is the general population being denied the ability to make money independant of having a job....? no matter what you do, where you turn, what you try - unless you're F__KING brilliant with options and leverage and fibonacci timing models, or can screw some poor sucker down on his house price to make a profit by developing, or are really handy with a 12 gauge, a balaclava and have completed getaway driving 101 - you're outta luck my friends.
so i'm a loony...go prove me wrong.
