Re: Inflation, deflation, gold and currencies
[Using lots of large words struck together along with choice references to actual historical figures to give the appearance of intellectual rigger without actually saying anything meaningful. I couldn't resist... Have you fallen into your own trap? :-) LOL, I know I suffer from a lack of verbosity ...

Re: Inflation, deflation, gold and currencies
I think this deflation vs inflation is about the most important debate today and also the most important area where people disagree with you, so I think it is still worth more of your time. I think it was an important debate two years ago, but since the system was backstopped by government rather t...

Re: 26-May-10 News -- Is North Korea preparing for war?
To John Xenakis : The conspirationists circles have found a new toy : they believe the elements quoted for involving North Korea on the sinking of the Cheonan are fakes. So I have a question : is the assumption that reality always is hidden and ignored, being determined by bribes and secret busines...

Re: 17-May-10 News -- Markets open Monday amid high tension
I sure hope you're not including me as part of those "powerful forces" trying to discredit John. First of all, your statement sounds a bit paranoid. What John is saying is not that revolutionary or that much a threat to the current world order. As he points out, all he is doing is illuminating the ...

Re: 21-May-10 News -- S. Korea accuses North of sinking warship
We do have experience with formerly imprisoned citizens emerging, blinking, into the sunlight. Let's look at East Germany right after the wall fell for a parallel. It might not be exact, but if you assume that Germany's Crisis ended in 1945 and Korea's in 1952, then it's right on the nose. If Big B...

Re: USA and Basics of Generational Theory
- The sprit in which the first nuclear bomb was made: It was a false panic provocated by people coming from Germany: Hitler didn't believe in the nuclear power and didn't allocate money and people to the project, so the project was at a very rough stage when the americans arrive in Germany. Plus: t...

Re: 17-May-10 News -- Markets open Monday amid high tension
It seems to me that every person has a point of view shaped by their experience of the world and no one is unbiased. I don't expect anyone to be unbiased. Reading many varying viewpoints is important to me -- including the Generational Dynamics website by John Xenakis, which is on my “must read eve...

Re: 17-May-10 News -- Markets open Monday amid high tension
Go ahead, accuse me of ideological bias. But you still did not respond to the substance of my argument or the excellent commentary made by JR detailing Bush's unique motivations for going to war. I suspect you think that going to war with Iraq (the second time) was a good idea. Can you confirm that...

Re: "Generation Zero - The Inconceivable Truth" - the movie
I think one should either view things from a "only gold is real money view" and see prices in terms of gold going down or use patterns from fiat money to predict how our fiat money will work. The fiat pattern seems to be inflation, not deflation. Even the highly suspect BLS had to admit that there ...

Re: 12-May-10 News -- David Cameron: Britain's Prime Minister
John, I've never heard of a "Fifth Turning". What does it look like and what in your theory might cause it? If the crisis is a force of nature like a hurricane, how can it be prevented? Have the elites in this country prevented the crises and are we entering into this Fifth Turning? What does that m...
