I believed the guys then on many *historical* things.
Of course, there is a TON of evidence that 911 was fishy. When Tarpley predicted Bush would bomb iran and usher in a ton of changes here, I believed that. And it didn't happen.
I think these guys are very good at 1 thing: Looking at past historical events, along with the evidence around them, and putting the pieces together to realize our leaders do some really sneaky shit in the name of whatever.
I think they're not that good at predictions. When they predict "the fall of the empire", I see them saying the same stuff they said 5 or 10 years ago. Hell, Bush senior talked about a new world order in 1991. It's now 20 years later, and it still hasn't happened.
Bottom line... bush gave the world the middle finger for 8 years. They're punishing us back, and obama is making some concessions. Will he just shrug and let the dollar collapse? hell no.
