Welcome to David L. Smith's Cassandra Chronicles
"The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking, and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophes . . . a new type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive."
Albert Einstein
The Cassandra Chronicles (www.cassandra-chronicles.com) is dedicated to stimulate “a new type of thinking.” Just as Albert Einstein transcended the boundaries of Newtonian physics to arrive at deeper truths about the universe, we must also “think outside the box” if we are nourish any hope of avoiding the “unparalleled catastrophes” Einstein perceived. The stakes are nothing less than survival of the human race. I can’t think of anything better to do. Can you?
To this end, the Cassandra Chronicles aims to:
• Deepen your understanding of the national and global effects of government policy; geopolitics; political, social and religious philosophy; economic, technological and energy developments; military events and the grand sweep of history.
• Present likely “overview” scenarios from the U.S. and global perspectives that take into account valuable “lessons of history,” on the assumption that if we do remember the past we may avoid being condemned to repeat it, to rephrase Santayana.
• To help you avoid surprises, anticipate dangers and find opportunities both at the “big picture” and personal levels.
• To explore, develop and propose solutions to the world’s problems calculated to further the universal aspirations for peace, prosperity, order, human rights, and the survival of the human species.
• To foster an online community of informed citizens to accomplish these aims in conjunction with other Internet-based opinion hubs.
It’s an ambitious undertaking with no guarantee of success, I know. It may even be Quixotic. Let me be clear: I don’t claim to have all the solutions. What I can offer is 24 years of focused experience observing, analyzing and forecasting the global economy, financial markets, government policies and world events from a contrarian perspective with what has been described as “uncanny accuracy.” (See www.cyclical-investing.com and for my bio go to http://www.smithspeaker.com/biography.html .) Accordingly, unlike many of our politicians today, I am firmly anchored in reality and not swayed by special interests. Moreover, I am committed, with the help of my subscribers, to finding as many solutions as possible in the time allotted to us. To find out more about David L.
