This site has been very influential in gaining a greater
understanding of the economic complexities of y2k,
but gets no respect. It is never mentioned or referred to directly
but has nevertheless generated some excellent articles
inspired by writings authored by yours truly. This is encouraged,
by the way. Unfortunately, because this site deals
with bank runs
and other politically incorrect subjects it doesn't get any credit.
My writings were ultimately inspired by Gary North, of course. He's alot more well known than I site and also doesn't get much credit.
However, it is interesting to note
that there are many high-ranking
government and military officials that regularly
visit and subscribe to this
site. You would recognize the identity of many
if I were to
reveal their identity.
The following are two excellent pieces. The first is
the April 1999 report
by the Dept. of Commerce entitled " The Year 2000 Problem and the Global trading system ."
The second is Social Chaos or Transformation written last year.
Read these two articles, written well after this site
was created, and see how it resembles Macroeconomic Thesis on Y2K and The Domino Effect and Interdependencies . It seems blatantly obvious this
site played a part in these articles' authors' thought
process. Some may say: "Oh yeah, sure, he's just trying to take credit and make himself sound good!" Sorry, but I have a knack for reading between the lines and determining this...intelligence training, you know.
Another excellent read is from the U.S. Senate
Committee on the Year 2000 computer Problem entitled " Investigating the impact of the Year 2000 Computer Problem.
It deals extensively with the status of various industry sectors
and is quite disturbing. However, it does not deal with
how these sectors interact. For this reason I suggest
readers discount the tone of the language in the
executive summary and apply the logic of Macroeconomic Thesis to the sectors covered therein.
