They read a prediction which, if true, would validate their belief system.
If the prediction is true, then that validates the truth. The truth is the truth. In your condition "the truth" has become some sort of meaningless abstract. You have obviously been brainwashed by the relentless propaganda that renders all truth relative to each person's preference. In your case, you actually do have a "belief system" that has been pre-packaged and handed to you, which you accept because it is convenient and it is also popular opinion.
A few mental gymnastics and suddenly "even the world can see that the end must be near."
Of course a lazy-minded person would consider the act of rational thought, that breaks with popular opinion, to be some sort of "mental gymnastics," when in actuallity it is merely the excercise of one's mind in search of the truth.
All this despite the fact that the article You Know linked to doesn't predict the end of the world, or even the crash of the dollar, it just reports that the Russian Central Bank is preparing for such a crash;
I didn't say that Putin was touting the Chervonet because he thought the world was ending. Where did you get such an infantile idea? My post centered on the fact that the Anglo-American system is in the process of collapse because the dollar, the world's reserve currency, is on the verge of getting trashed. Presently Russians hold over 100 billion Federal Reserve notes (dollars). That's because the Ruble is not worth much. But, the fact that Russia has broken with IMF dictates and re-established a national currency in the form of the gold Chervonet is a noteworthy development for thinking people. Of course CNN or FOX news didn't consider it a newsworthy development, and they certainly aren't going to take you by the hand and walk you through the strategic implications of such a development. On the other hand, I present facts that many of you are unaware of for the purpose of challenging people to think; obviously most of you simply aren't up to that task.
The article appears in the decidedly suspect "Executive Intelligence Review." Sounds impressive, huh?
Why is the EIR suspect? Who suspects it, and what are they suspected of doing? Knowing the sort of mental midgets that most of you are, I seriously doubt if you have read more than a few words from the EIR. For a fact, EIR is not readable by the average adult American, who over the years has been dumbed down to the level of grade schooler. It is however read by many world leaders and policy shapers around the world. The only ones who suspect the EIR is the oligarchy establishment, who greatly fear Lyndon LaRouche, and who because of that fear, then formulate and hand you your opinion through their own media outlets and propaganda channels. You simply are using the same tatic they used on you to prejudice others into shutting down their thinking faculties. That's how it works.
A little delving brings up some interesting information about the editor Lyndon LaRouche.
Pasting little snipets of partial quotes from someone is one of the oldest propaganda techniques that there is. No doubt now after you read this collection of out-of-context quotes, you pathetically imagine yourself to be well-informed on the topic. Such is the mind of a typical neurotic and infantile American who has a 30 second sound bite attention span.
'Nuff said.
LOL. You have said anything, but I suppose it is a good idea that you leave well enough alone.
For those interested in the LaRouche case here's a link>>>> http://www.larouchepub.com/exon/exon_toc.html
Also, in regards to the dollar sistuation, here is a link to an interesting article on that topic not written by the EIR.
