Editorial See other Editorial Articles Title: 2009 Top-Ten List for Boys Crying Wolf, Obamageddon and Other Disasters Every year brings with it a fresh barrage from Spiro Agnew's "nattering naybobs of negativity," screaming about impending disasters that never seem to arrive. For example, Gary North first showed up on my Apocalypse radar screen a decade ago with his endless screeds about how the "Y2K" computer glitch spelled the end of Western civilization. Mr. North seems to shout "wolf" of a different color each and every year. And Gary North is not alone, though he has moderated his alarmism somewhat in recent years. Global warming, the coming mini-Ice Age, Planet X, gamma rays, financial derivatives and so on. You know the drill. Well, maybe derivatives shouldn't be in that particular list, come to think of it. Just now, the sleeping Yellowstone "super" volcano is burbling well beyond normal, leading some to conclude that its overdue once-every-600,000-year eruption is about to wipe out most of the North American continent once again. Me, I think it is just the Reptiloids, who built their main Earth base beneath Yellowstone, up to no good once again. I swear that I think I have seen trucks full of pods on the Interstate. Come on now - what else possibly could explain George Bush, Dick Cheney and all their henchmen? Clearly, English is not Bush's native tongue. No? Then you come up with a better explanation for the Bush Administration of the past eight years. Thus, it is easy to discount the apparent danger still lurking within the already-littered social and financial landscape of the world. After all that happened in 2008, how much worse could it possibly get? Most forget that, at the end of the fable about the Little Boy Who Cried Wolf, the wolf actually did show up and eat the villagers. Or, to paraphrase a popular optimistic saying: Always, it is darkest just before things go completely black. You want to know how bad it can get? Well, listen up, my little chickadees, because, like the little girl with the curl, things can get very bad, indeed. Anybody with a full complement of fingers upon which to count and a word processor can generate a "top-ten" list these days. Predictably, I am no exception. What follows is how I see 2009 shaping up. Problem is, some things can be put off for a time by even Plunge-Protection Pod People, such as the inevitable and long-overdue trip to the Moon by the prices of gold and silver. Thus, while I firmly believe that each and every one of the predictions below will come true, some might be delayed for a year or two. However, rest assured that 2012 is the absolute latest that I see any of these outcomes occurring, with 2009 being more likely. And now, without further ado, fresh from the hermetically-sealed mayonnaise jar I keep on my front porch: 2009 Top-Ten Disasters Poster Comment: Go to the link to read. Steele posts several graphics in the article.

I consider Steele worse of a nut than Gary North, and I know North. There is no Amero, as Steele thinks. It's a conspiracist urban legend.
Have pug, will laugh.
