Are doom & gloomers ever right in their numerous and freqent predictions of disaster?

I'm not simply talking about the garden variety doom & gloomers who are constantly predicting a massive economic collapse or continually warning about the evil plans of the New World Order. I also include the al-Qaeda fearmongers who are constantly predicting nuclear Jihad in America. I'm also talking about the global warming alarmists who predict that the east coast of the US will eventually be submerged in a major flood.

These groups of doom & gloomers have different agendas for sure but they're basically the same in their fearmongering and pessimissm. It's as if they want a disaster to happen so they can screech "I told you so!"

Fortunately, these prophets of disaster are as wrong in their predictions as they are negative and pessimistic.

I really wonder why America is full of these types of people.

I was thinking about this the other day. Unlike the rapture cults of the 20th century, doom-and-gloomers are at least smart enough never to pinpoint WHEN this terrible event will occur. If it happens in 3 days, or it happens in 50 years, the predictions are equally as accurate.

In the cases where they HAVE predicted a date, like supposed food riots in the late 1970s or whatever, they usually have a whole new disaster scenario cooked up by the time their first one fails to come through. Sure helps to sell books, I guess.

Doom and gloomers (like me) predicted that the housing market was a bubble that would eventually pop and collapse.

Count me in as a "doom & gloomer" if that's the label. Someone has to warn people about what is around the corner. Those who ignore the warning signs, and there are many, will continue to live in the faux reality where they feel the most comfortable.

Empirical historical evidence suggests that breakdowns in social order occur often and there are usually ample warning signs beforehand. In this time it's not so difficult to get a handle on the converging perils- the financial / economic system, biological hazards, war, natural disasters, the burgeoning police state (what do YOU think these preparations are being made for?), and so-called terrorism. The warnings are everywhere.

People like Mister Clean can ignore the warnings and discredit the messengers, but I consider it a personal responsibility to be aware of what is happening in the world and warn others about the intuition of what's coming. At this point, I'd venture to say an event is at the doorstep. Nearly everyone is absolutely dependant on supermarkets for their food and municipalities for their water & power. That dependence is too dangerous to ignore out of hand. Sadly, even conventional wisdom regarding our future is ignored at our own peril.

Speaking for myself, It's not "I told you so" after the fact, it's "I'm trying to warn you" before it's too late.

We live in dangerous times. America, insulated from the realities of our world for generations, has two choices as a nation. Wake up and make the sacrifices necessary to steer clear of disaster, or ignore the the warnings and face the consequences.

I've made my choice. It appears that Mr. clean has made his.

Peace
