    That video was crazy.
    I can't believe that his wife's head was in the box. Morgan warned him not to look!

    So when does this video turn into a rickroll? Nigga's got a serious Cassandra complex up his ass.

    Can't believe I watched for 30 minutes just to have this idiot parrot Republican talking points on corporate tax rates.

    I'm only up to the part where he's comparing gas prices. Assuming his numbers are correct, I think you can account for our lower price tag because of our foreign policy and because we produce a lot of our own oil.

    Barely into the video so I can't comment on it just yet. However I went to Google this guy's company that he claims is so great. One of the things that Google suggested while I was typing in his name was "Stansberry investment scam". Seems like his company is full of crap from what I've seen, especially after finding this run in he had with the SEC.

    So yeah, I'm gonna say this is bullshit.

    Here's a better use of your time if you want to watch something that doesn't resemble some bad infomercial with talking points pulled out of some Fox writer's ass.

    Accidentally closed the window right as he was (finally) about to explain how he thinks people should protect their savings, but I'm going to go out on a wild limb and guess that it was something along the lines of "invest your money with an institution in which I coincidentally have a vested financial interest" considering the amount of fear-mongering that was going on throughout the whole video. Seriously, he repeated the same thing about fifteen times before actually getting into the facts - "our very way of life is going to change, and SOON" - and if I remember correctly he said something like "I predict there will be riots in the streets and martial law declared throughout the country".

    Whilst he's not wrong about the dollar being in trouble, I'd warn heavily against taking whatever advice he gave. Corporations are taxed too heavily? Obama is a socialist that wants to spread the wealth? The kinds of people who usually say those sorts of things never have your best interests at heart.

    hmm, i wasn't expecting anyone to pay for that shit, more of "is this information credible to the extent of a major crisis" because some of those things seemed viable, like the decrease of the dollar over the past few years. sorry for wasting everyones time...

    Wow talk about long, I got to step 4 then it quit on me. No way I'm going through another hour of that.

    Anyway I don't know how accurate this is but he is right about some things.

    The dollar is in trouble yes but this is the type of fear mongering you would find coming out of Glenn Beck. I don't think anyone arguing for corporate tax breaks has you in their best interest.

    I almost stopped watching why he said "Barack Obama" and "Socialist" with negative tone.

    That was a long ass infomercial in the worst possible way.

    Maybe I should have just made my own damn thread with that documentary, atleast it has a seek bar.

    History lessons aren't quite the sensationalist, soundbite-type of material people enjoy these days though.

    I think the black text in the middle of a giant wipe page is designed to brain wash you.
    Ugh my head hurts.

    PS. for those curious, in the end he recommended you buy as much Gold and Silver as you can, and then invest in a "100% secret" investment that gives 9000% returns or some shit. Oh yea, and you could only find out about the investment if you subscribe to his shit.

    This is where the BS comes in, since if as many people invested in gold/silver as they are wouldn't it create a "bubble" where the value grows, then suddenly plummets?
