  • The Economic Future

    Hyperinflation Special Report (2011) [Shadow Government Statistics]

    A detailed look at what’s likely to happen to the economy in the near future. The site where this is posted takes various prominent government-published statistics that are widely accepted as reflecting the state of the economy, and determines what they would be based on the way the government used to calculate them in the past before changing them to hide the true economic situation from the chumps voters.

  • Blog spam

    A while back I had to turn off commenting on my weblog after the anti-spam plugin I had been using stopped working with newer WordPress versions. About a month ago I started using the Akismet plugin, which made it possible to turn commenting back on. One of the features of Akismet is a display of total spam and total real comments over time, and according to that display for the month of July (the first full month that I used it) my weblog received 489 spam comments and two real comments.
