Dan:

As I said in the original post above --- the sound file is of testimony in fromt of the Joint Task Force "investigating" the source of the blackout. It is an official source --- from the hearing itself.

If you would go listen to it you would get answers to your questions.

No, I take absolutely no pleasure in being 100% correct about things that are very negative and are not making our world any better. But, that doesn't mean that they are untrue just because it is a hard thing to come to grips with.

I too went through a phase similar to what you are apparently going through right now. Finding out that the world we were promised when our generation grew up was based upon a lie --- is a pretty bitter pill to swallow. Believe me I understand exactly how you feel.

I don't want this garbage to be real either.

Unfortunately, there is every indication that things are about to take a turn for the worse.

OPEC is moving to replace the US dollar with the EURO in the world oil market.

That will finish off the dollar . . .

Or maybe if you refuse to believe it --- it might not happen.

Gee Dan, you are a REAL gambling man!
