errr thanks for the reference on Batra's other predilections and
remarks, I notice much of his
work doent even mention Kondraitev's long cycle 260 years... his
book the comming depression 1990 however
is largely devoted to the long cycle as put forward by Kondratiev...
(rightly or wrongly)... it is that reference

Maddoff isn't a debtor, he's a fraudster. (oddly enough the same sort of
fraud that the US federal government runs, but we're not supposed to
notice that)

This is a very misleading sort of half smart assessment. One of the
biggest errors is in using the usual Republican method of only counting
certain kinds of taxes and even using aggregates as opposed to per
capital numbers. But the main thing --- the big 1000 pound elephant in
the middle of the room --- is the affect of population density on

I am not offended. Have you ever talked with Mr. Batra? I have.
You are cherry picking to support your own particular view. The stuff
you are citing is from "The Great Depression of 1990" (pp31-35)

And there is no real cyclic nature to this stuff as expressed in years,

You're retarded. Clinton & Bush Sr. devastated a large number of local
manufacturing facilities in their tenures, all the while the rest of
the nation looked away like nothing was going on.
Which is why I'm GLAD this country is failing the way it is. Perhaps
utter devastation to the majority's standard of living will FINALLY

How odd that you cant list even a SINGLE example of
anything like that in say the last 500 years in the west.

Yes, but they did NOT see anything like 'total collapse ensues, not a 10
year depression, but 50 to 100 years of near or total starvation ensue'

Just because some fool claims something, doesnt make it gospel.
And that possibility is trivially avoidable by having a para that says
that the other two individuals are getting exactly the same letter.

Sure, there certainly are a few obscure cars that cant be used in the US
but its unlikely that too many of those have been abandoned at Dubai airport.
