I'm disappointed that so many people on this forum have such a superficial understanding of what Cliff's work is about and what he claims to be doing. His work is about LINGUISTICS, he tracks changes in words. From the emotional quality of these words they extrapolate the time scales involved. Listen to some of his interviews or visit Halfpasthuman.com to get a better understanding. Also, note they describe their work as providing a "rickety time machine" -it's not an exact science - and they admit they are sometimes wrong, or that they interpret word changes in the wrong way. Cliff is undeniably a genius linguist, a guru programmer and overall wise man. Let's give him the benefit of doubt, it's worth investing time and some effort to understand what he's doing.

His latest interview on Rense is available as mp3 on Tree of Liberty forum, in the Root Cellar.

Let's look at one fact. Early this year - January - George and Cliff were on Coast to Coast. They
published a pdf to outline what the linguistics indicated for the coming year.
Looking forward from January they wrote:
October
• Global emotional release event begins – largely economic.
• Think of the US economy as a lit fuse that is lit over the early part of 2008
• In late 2008 the rest of the world’s currencies are ‘touched off’ by the dollar and US decline.
• May be a global replay of what the 1932 bond crash in the Great Depression was.
Note, "emotional release event begins – largely economic". No predictions about a "change in consciousness" or any of the other inaccuracies people are writing here.
Note, "US economy as a lit fuse that is lit over the early part of 2008". Clearly stating it is a process that started months previously.
Note, "In late 2008 the rest of the world’s currencies are ‘touched off’ by the dollar and US decline". Icelandic Krona anyone? Also Korean won, Pakistani rupee, Indian rupee, UK pound and on and on it goes.
Note, "May be a global replay of what the 1932 bond crash in the Great Depression was". Indeed it may well be. So why not think about what that might mean for you and your family!

As a side note, I've been following the work of
LEAP for about a year too. Reading the snippets from their reports published around the 18th of every month. Would recommend anyone following George and Cliff to check them (a team of researchers) out as well. They also predicted the current market situation over a year ago. Now they say the US will default next year.
"In this 28th edition of the GEAB, LEAP/E2020 has decided to launch a new global systemic crisis alert. Indeed our researchers anticipate that, before next summer 2009, the US government will default and be prevented to pay back its creditors (holders of US Treasury Bonds, of Fanny May and Freddy Mac shares, etc.). Of course such a bankruptcy will provoke some very negative outcome for all USD-denominated asset holders. According to our team, the period that will then begin should be conducive to the setting up of a « new Dollar » to remedy the problem of default and of induced massive capital drain from the US."
