stillhere, I get your point though the same can be said about just about ANYTHING people do (like watch television, read a book, etc). One could ask, "what is it really going to get you in life? Why not do something meaningful?" For some, life has meaning when we engage in things that interest us. These topics interest me, they engage my mind, they make me think, and I like to share with others and have a sharing of ideas. I could "waste" my time in a million ways, this is just one of them I choose to do. It's my hope that if enough people start seeing what's happening that things can change, but probably not. It's way bigger than any of us. Having said that, it is still something I enjoy just like someone else might enjoy playing cards.

As to who Robert Holmes is and what he was about to do, that is something I'd like to PROVE with some reputable sources. The "rumor" is that he was about to expose a fraud worth trillions of dollars in the largest financial fraud the world has ever seen. His background certainly fits a man who could do that. However, not a single mainstream media source is talking about it and I cannot prove he ever was scheduled to testify before congress. Does ANYONE have a legitimate source (like a link to the congressional record showing he was on slate to appear)? I haven't found anything. As you pointed out, this would be a HUGE piece of the puzzle. It's on my timeline but I'm still looking to support the claim with some good evidence.
