The hardworking staff knows a lunatic fringe group when we see one, and the Aftershock Survival Summit folks certainly fit the bill.
But when that group takes out a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal at well into six figures, it’s a good idea to pay attention.
The text of the ad:
‘It Scared the Hell Out of Me’
– Russell H, Wichita, Kan.
A 50% unemployment rate? 90% stock market collapse? And 100% ANNUAL inflation? That’s what a team of economists (with an impeccable track record – they even predicted the latest crash) see happening in 2012. Fortunately, millions across America have united during the recent Aftershock Survival Summit to hear the real story on what lies ahead. Prepare for 2012!
You can watch a private airing of this broadcast right now at http://www.AftershockNow.com
The whole shebang has been ginned up by the rightwingnuts at Newsmax, with this video (a public airing on YouTube) as its centerpiece:
The video features your standard-issue apocalyptic gobbledygook, which has been viewed on YouTube about 12,000 times. God only knows how many have seen it here via Newsmax.
But when it hits the Journal, it’s a little less fringe . . . a lot more lunatic.

Is this any more looney than Nancy Pelosi predicting a Democratic sweep in 2010?
Sort of Apples and PCs, eh, Mudge?

Let’s see, the success of a political party in a single election versus the catastrophic collapse of the U.S. economy (which would result in a worldwide depression)? Yeah… pretty much two different things.
