Critical Warning Number Six

[CaddyWompus]

Penguin, you're correct, I contradicted myself. Feel free to discuss the video's details.

In my opinion the difference between this site and other news articles are the articles themselves are not the advertisement. That entire site and video are the ad itself.

And yes, I figure Invader wasn't posting to promote the advertisement, but then again I don't know his intention because he said nothing other than post the link.

Of course there's relevance of economics to politics, however I don't see the relevance of an advertising video selling a product to FOL. The link was posted with no discussion whatsoever so I took it at face value. As an ad for a product. Product isn't a sponsor of FOL therefore is in violation.

I think the economic message is profound and very worthy of discussion.

All you came away with is the sales pitch at the very end????????

Yep, I came away with a sales pitch. A form of this video has been circulating since last year per this yahoo article:

http://news.yahoo.com/critical-warni...110231077.html

He's still billing this "Critical warning number 6" as a "new video" in August of 2012 stating "Something Very Big Will Happen in America in the Next 180 days."
http://www.profitconfidential.com/critical-warning-6/

Why didn't something "BIG" happen by the end of March of this year??? That'd have been 180 days from Sept 2011.

Can the things this guy discusses happen? Of course. But the fact is he's selling a product via scare tactics. When his 180 days are up and nothing has happened, he puts the ad video out again with a quick updates of the dates. If and when something he "predicted" does happen he'll go "SEE!! SEE I called it!" ignoring the fact that half his predictions probably never come true. But you know what will happen? He'll walk away rich no matter what.

Again, I call BS.

Whether he walks away rich or poor...does it really matter if the described events in fact unfold? Is it his fault if the anticipated events are scary?

Does it really matter if YOU are motivated to better educate yourself on how to protect yourself to help protect you and your family your family?

Will the described events unfold? The events described have been described much the same by many and yes...its scary. Whether the timing of the events are off by 1 year, 2 years, 4 years,......... we are certainly heading that way.

What is unknown is what actions or intervention will be taken by our politicians, the Fed, and the EU to prevent, delay, or accelerate the described events. Under the current administration...I am fairly confident that no meaningful intervention will occur to avoid this crisis. As for Romney/Ryan......I am not sure if enough meaningful actions will be taken with the necessary urgency...as most required actions are politically lethal.

But make no mistake...without meaningful actions...we are certainly heading towards the scary events / crisis much as described.

And here is the deal....there are actions you and I can take today to actually position ourselves to benefit if the crisis falls just short of the complete destruction of the currency and economy; and best position yourselves to possibly survive the worst case senario.

And there are those out there today that possess the knowledge of how to best prepare yourself economically.
So what if there are those selling this knowledge? I for one want the knowledge on how best to protect my family. Its financial knowledge which most people are completely ignorant of.

I have been educating myself on economics and finances extensively for 2 years now on what I should be doing.....and whether its via books, subscibing to newsletters, online services, CCCC courses..... its not unusual to have to pay for that or most other knowledge. If the worst case senario does not occur...GREAT...but I still will have far greater financial knowledge

Now...is what this guy is peddling good stuff? Who knows. But if his message is effective enough to get people off their arses and motivate them to learn how to best prepare and take care of themselves........its net positive in my mind.

I fixed my original post......

without actually watching this video.... do I liquidate my 401K and turn it into gold or do i just wait for the economy to collapse and then stand in the long lines at the food tents just like everyone else?
