Good Sites for Truth-Gathering...

Hey All,

If you want to see some interesting charts that show "official" government reporting superimposed on the "real" numbers, go to this link:

John Williams' site ShadowStats.com shows what I think is the real reason why Americans are so down on the economy -- the fact that our government is lying to us every day with these bogus "reports' on the state of inflation, unemployment, you name it...

If you read some of the captions accompanying the charts, you will come to realize that the government has constantly been changing the way it calculates these "facts and figures" so that today's published inflation index cannot even be compared to that of 10 years ago, which in turn cannot be compared to that of ten years prior, etc., etc. It is the same across the board for all the officially reported government statistics.

Many of us have been following these developments for years, but there may be some who aren't aware of this yet...

Also, check out www.chrismartenson.com and look through his "Crash Course on Economics." It is outstanding.
