A year ago this week, I did more than just question what was up with the Bill Griffeth real-estate tour of America, I also challenged CNBC's Jim Cramer.

In the article I did soon after the one May 16 on bubbleconomics, I wrote one entitled "Tonight's headlines yesterday". That's my style.

If you go back to check the charts for May 17, you'll see how stunning in their accuracy were these articles on May 16. I put it in headlines that the markets for BOTH oil and gold would take off the next day. AND, my people did not miss the point that Cramer was screaming (what else!) at his people to throw those stocks away.

Yes, I happened to hit the cycle bottom for oil and gold, which occurred the day I said it would.

That night, May 17, I got so mad at the crapola coming from two CNBC shows after the close, I wrote another article entitled "Kudlow-Cramer all show, no go".

I concluded that article with:

Tonight both Kudlow and Cramer tried to re-write history. That's what people do when they control the media, and that is precisely why independent (and ethical) blogging will win out every time against traditional media.

You can only fool the public for so long, and then the jig is up.

I'm not here to make friends; I'm here to do the right thing for society.
