<prompt> Human: LINK TO STORY HERESo this is not the first time I have come across items like this, and I have to say my initial reaction is a bit of fear, and then I start to parse the details and realize that this smells like some kind of play or scam or some thing malevolent. So Im asking the community to help me and other naive persons figure out how to think rationally about crap like this: is it credible? Are the producers of this working some sort of angle? Trying to get us to buy gold? Or someones book? Thanks in advance, and Ill see you in the comments.  <response>: All I had to do was read the headline.Someone is trying to scare you into buying something. Probably some stupid book or blog subscription or something.Edit: Read more of it, this is linked to Wiedemers website Newsmax. He predicts a total financial collapse is imminent all the time. Hes a joke; you should pay exactly as much attention as you would pay to a mentally ill person running around the street telling you the world was ending.
