Xi Zhonghun was head of Chinese propaganda during the 1950's so I guess this is where this Hodges moron learnt how to tell the truth :eek:

Do you thnk that he is actually that stupid and a moron, or is he cleverly and cynically trying to make his way in the world by feeding foolish and desperate people what they want to hear?

Do we have any evidence that he's making substantial money?

To be honest I couldn't even bothered to read the article (other than skim over it), never mind research his background, but I take your point and have edited my post accordingly.


He could of course just be an idiot, who thinks that he is cleverly making his way in the world by feeding fools what they want to hear.

HMV bricks and mortar stores outsold Amazon in the music department in the last quarter of 2014.

Albums are making a comeback too.

Very much OT

They never went away for those who are real fans of music.

It seems more and more are finally understanding just how bad mp3 is for the quality of music.

I must admit I'm a bit puzzled as to why someone who both correctly predicted the 2008 crisis and predicted the collapse in the oil price in 2014 would be wasting their time being interviewd by a rag like Moneyweek. Surely they would have made such a massive shed load of money out of those predictions that they could have bought themselves an entire country to keep themselves amused.

Maybe he lost the lot on a CHF short.

An "influential ebook" eh? As in self-published on Amazon.:)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Boom-Gloom-New-Normal-BabyBoomers-ebook/dp/B00S1VSED0

Oddly enough "not currently available for purchase" apparently because the formatting has been so &^%$ed up that it's unreadable. So it's difficult to see how an ebook published on the 8th January 2015 could be in any way "influential" given than no one has read the darned thing in the month that it's been out.
