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 advertising on his site, no, no. But he does have referrals 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 negative allegations of governmental and business reports.

He figures that he has shot his wad with the negative 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 hard-core doomers have been backpedaling due to the overwhelming positive news they have had to finally accept as at least partially true.

Mike Adams is just trying to weasel 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.

Millennium Madness .. it is a little known fact that the Millennium Bug spends part of its life-cycle in the human brain. The parasites are shown here wreaking havoc among the neurons. Infested individuals see apocalyptic visions and are prone to hoarding behaviour.

Cherri,

You know, I've never really entertained this notion about you before, but your post causes me to wonder this now: Are you *really* this chuckleheaded by nature, or are you just paid by somebody to assert such "insights?" I sure hope it's the latter, because I have one hell of a time beleiving the former about anybody.

Okay. Just a hope. Had to ask.

-- (resignedNOmore@this.point), December 09, 1999.

he has spent all his effort trying to convince people that the government and businesses are lying about fixing their computers systems.

You have proof that they are not lying? I personally know several businesses that are lying about their status of Y2K compliancy including the one I work for. How do I know? I do all the computer maintenance and programming. I definately know that we would not be unique in stating such lies.

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,

And you know this how? The reporter always has a bias towards an article they write. If they believe that Y2K is a non-event then they will construct the article in such a way to imply that it is a non-event. Yes this will also apply to those reporters who think Y2K is real and very scary. What the important thing is is the evidence or information they used to derive the article from and how they use that information. As an example an article might proclaim 'Systems are Y2K compliant" which of course would make you think they are. However in the article or the original source it may state 'By Sep 30 1999 all mission critical systems were Y2K compliant.' The first makes the reader believe that everything is fixed, why read any further into the article?

Next we get him calling for a big business to give out free PC checks. WOW!! What a unique idea!!

Incorrect, he has asked big business to provide free Y2K fixes. You yourself have distorted the original request and places your own bias onto it. You have gone from 'Free Y2K Fix' to 'Free PC Checks'. They are not the same and mean two totally different things, your statement checks for a PC problem, his fixes a Y2K problem.

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.

Of course free PC checks have been out for years, you must believe that we are morons to fall for your stunt that Mike Adams is talking about 'free PC checks' when he is actually talking about 'free Y2K fixes'. I hope you are not trying to distort or mislead anybody are you? Now onto 'free Y2 fixes' can you provide a link that shows that someone is giving away a Y2K fix and that they have done so for years (as you state)?

Bahh, I won't go on about the rest of your message. I will readily accept that Y2K may not happen, but I prefer to be safer than sorry.

Incidentally I am a programmer, I have been fixing Y2K bugs in our organisation since the beginning of the year. Some of them would have caused very significant disruptions to our business and could possibly force us to close. If I believed that Y2K was a hoax from day one then I would not have found them and I would probably on the unemployment queue on the 3rd of January.

Regards, Simon

How on earth can one person sustain so much vitriol through such a long, pointless post? I think someone really needs to release some, ahem, tension. Try typing with one hand. ;p

-- Servant (public_service@yahoo.com), December 09, 1999.

Cherri,

Please call Deutsche Bank and ask them why they would put a new program in place 4 weeks before January One. Try attacking them for their stupidity instead of attacking Mr. Adams which is a kin to attacking a true "Paul Revere".

Where was your precious mainstream press when this occured?

I personally can't think of a better example of the potential problems we could run up against 22 days from now.

I am gradually changing my position here, we'll see, but I am about ready to put my money on the fact that the conspiracy folks are right.

-- the Virginian (1@1.com), December 09, 1999.

Dear nottelling: I suspect you have never heard of a NDA before. It is called a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Most employees sign one as a condition of employment. It is a contract which provides for penalties should the employee disclose information about the company. If you are interested enough in the name of the company, I'm sure you won't mind indemnifying Simon for legal defense and for at LEAST his current standard of living for oh, 20 years.

Why are you worried about legal action if the whole system is about to collapse? Doesn't Teotwawki take the courts down with it? In other words, if its such a real threat EXPOSE THE FUCKING COMPANY and stop hiding behind Non Disclosure. Did Paul Revere use leaflets so he wouldn't be fined for breaking the noise ordinance?

-- Forget it (not@today.com), December 09, 1999.

Cherri, you need to get some counseling for all that twisted anger inside you. Try to do it before January 1st, while it's still available.

I think I'm home now..... - Date: 1999, Apr 07 - From: Deano (deano@luvthebeach.com) - Have heard quite a bit about this place and now I see the time is limited. Bummer. Name's Deano, Y2K project manager at a Fortune 500 company that has completed everything. Even made the 12/31/1998 deadline. Spend quite a bit of time arguing with the doomers over at yourdonefors place. They're not too fond of ol' Deano over there but I have a little fun with'em anyway. Never was one to warm up to a raving lunatic anyhow. / Just wanted to let yall know that there are plenty involved in the game that really and truly 'get it' (to use one of their phrases). - Deano

Hello Deano - From: Jonathan Latimer (latimer@q-a.net) - For what it is worth, welcome. The more the merrier, though it has been scarce since the announcemnt went up on the 15th. However, whatever posts you can make before then would be appreciated. / Keep smiling, - Jonathan

SSSHHHHHH - Date: 1999, Apr 08 - From: Cherri - Just between you and I and the lamp post (C.S. Lewis) we are planning on taking over and defusing the timeBomb.

Count me in...... - Date: 1999, Apr 08 - From: Deano (deano@luvthebeach.com) - I'm in.

That sounds like fun! - Date: 1999, Apr 08 - From: Maria (anon@ymous.com) - I thought you knew about this place Deano. Sorry I should have pointed it out over at Eddie's place. Cherri, count me in. I understand you took up Cory's challenge. If you need anything, just ask.

I did......just hard to find the time.... - Date: 1999, Apr 09 - From: Deano (deano@luvthebeach.com) - Nice to see a familiar face! I had heard about it but never really had the time to check it out. With testing winding down and all, results being distributed, things are a bit more laid back now. Actually have some time to surf a little. Made it over here and kicked myself for not showing up sooner. A lot of those folks at Eddie's tend to rub me the wrong way. We certainly have different views on life. I prefer to enjoy mine as much as possible. You seem the same. Funny how optimism can do that to a person. / I'm really looking forward to the rollover and subsequent non-event. I will have to laugh. They keep saying they won't have to grocery shop for a year. How fucking long can a person eat beans and rice?!? Especially if LongHorns is serving ribeye's and t-bones right down the street! I'm not even sure they realize how long it takes to cook dried beans. What, 6-8 hours?? How much fuel will that burn for a friggin' pot of beans?? / Enough ramblin' for now.......see ya Maria and thanks! - Deano

Now, now Cherri, you know how the good folks at EY..... - Date: 1999, Apr 09 - From: Morgan - .... get their knickers all in a bunch when there's a sudden influx of 'pollys'. Upsets their vision, y'know. - Morgan

Thanks dude! A little background for yall..... - Date: 1999, Apr 08 - From: Deano (deano@luvthebeach.com) - Thanks! Nice to feel welcome. - I've been involved in this thing for well over a year now. Work for a mortgage banking service bureau [BIG SNIP]

Feel free - Date: 1999, Apr 09 - From: Doc Paulie (fannybubbles@usa.net) - to come over to a little alternative to this forum. Debunking Y2k webboard / You'll find me there, I am the Moron and Jackass who's current deal is asking if Y2k is indeed the scam and hoax prior tarred and feathered ones like the Reader's Digest head and Nicholas Zvegintzov said years ago. You will also find many from here, there etc.

Every time I see your name "Cherri", I think of those chocolate covered cherry bon-bons.

BTW, your post today shows promise and creativity. Your future in fiction writing, possibly science fiction, could be quite rewarding with a bit of training.

You must develop a more dynamic writer's voice to project a clearer image. I recommend the following book for your study: "Finding Your Writer's Voice - A Guide to Creative Fiction," written by Thaisa Frank and Dorothy Wall, ISBN: 0-312-15128-4.

It is an exceptional 238 pages. Certainly a little long for your short attention span. Give it your best shot. Good Luck.

Cherri, I really liked your picture. Looking at it very closely, I couldn't help notice every creature was hung up in that web.

Just like Pollies and Doomers. We are all in that web of Y2K. None shall escape her entanglement

-- Tommy Rogers (Been there@Just a Thought.com), December 09, 1999.

Cherri,

In America you are expected to be productive. In America free rides are frowned upon. Fortunately Cherri Y2K may rid America of those like yourself who do not grasp the work ethic, do not understand how the world turns, and think information or otherwise is a free gift on a silver platter to yourself and others paid for by the fairies.

You're not bright Cherri and I can tell from your words you haven't any future ahead of yourself. You're old enough to play on the Internet and you haven't a clue about life with a void of all wisdom.

No is going to feed you Cherri. No is going to water or change your newspapers. You will die Cherri, and as you do I ask you to remember, that "Chowbabe" said, "Good riddance."

-- Paula (chowbabe@pacbell.net), December 09, 1999.

Here we have an unusual example of Cherri in a rare lucid moment, using a grammar and spellchecker. Either that, or someone else wrote this for our dyslexic diva. Cherri appears to be infected with the dread cpr meme. She has been kind enough to insert a tiny micro-camera up her left nostril and take a picture of it for us. Thank you, Cherri.
