Now all we have to do is wake up the 800,000 sleeping small businesses that need the fix.

this is fantastic, except that the world does not run on PCs alone, but by the grace and power of mainframes

For those of you who do not read other forums and/or do not realize these "fixes" and anti-virus programs are already being given away free (and have been for a long time)...

... don't get too excited. This is nothing more than another Mike Adams "publicity stunt".

Mike Adams knows the END is near for him, he has spent all his effort trying to convince people that the government and businesses are lying about fixing their computers systems. Now he is suddenly jumping in to be the HERO!

All those people who have clung to his every word, believing his twisted version of the news are soon going to find out that he was using them. He does not take advertizing on his site, no, no. But he does have referals to "supply sites". Does he get anything for the "click through"? Does he stand to gain financially from the sales of the products on those sites?

Suddenly he spamms the mainstream media, they know him for what he is and resent him doing it, will they now put him under a microscope and connect the dots to find out the real purpose behind his sudden altruism?

With it growing more obvious day by day that Y2K will not be as bad as he has been preaching it will be, he has to do something at this last minute to negate his previous actions.

What better thing than to do a selfless act? Call the mainstream media to acknowledge that Y2K exists? After all, it does not matter that they have been reporting it in an unbiased manner, unlike him who twisted all the facts to serve his own purposes (sending people to the Y2K supply sites)?

Next we get him calling for a big business to give out free PC checks. WOW!! What a unique idea!! Too bad that has been done for years, but he would not tell you that, it would make him look like the fool he is. He must believe his readers are morons to fall for that stunt.

Also big industries have been helping small and medium businesses fix their computers for years now, but hey lets have Mike Adams call for them to do it, weeks before the rollover and maybe people will believe he is a hero who is geared to helping rather than the crier of misinformation and writer who twists any news into negitive alligations of governmental and business reports.

He figures that he has shot his wad with the negitive spin to get people to buy survival products, and needs to save his sorry arse by trying to be a last minute hero.

He is as full of it now as he was when he degraded every positive report that has been given out in the past year.

Even the hardcore doomers have been backpeddling due to the overwhelming positive news they have had to finally accept as at least partually true.

Mike Adams is just trying to weasle himself out of the corner he has painted himself into.

The question is: who will ever believe anything he says again, after the way what he has been reporting is turning out to be nothing more than his twisting the facts and taking information out of context.

Is he trying to cover his tracks? Yes, will he succeed in making people believe he was being honest and got nothing out of putting a bad spin on Y2K? I doubt it.

People can get pretty hostile when they find out that someone they trusted was just using them for his own purposes.

You know the old saying;

fool me once, shame on you,

fool me twice, shame on me.

I think his future in the business of reporting anything is over and he knows it. He's just trying to salvage what little he can to save face.

Come down off that fence, Cherri :)

It's conceivable that Adams' views are indeed closer to reality than yours. Or, are you clairvoyant?

If so, please e-mail me with the winner of Super Bowl XXXIV. I'll split the winnings with you. Just between us, mind you...

Is it just me, or has the media slightly dropped the ball on the y2k issue???

Odd but no one believed Noah either now his name will always be known for something he did that nobody else even considered.
