And no one posts in this thread because of it!

So a nation who is democrate. But at the same time censors their own people. Looking familiar?

Does our government have a law like that one.

When does free speech switch from free speech to the spread of false information?

When it endangers or harms others as a result of its untruthfulness.

Yelling "Fire" in a crowded theater or two little things called Libel and Slander.

So are they censoring him because he was correct in his predictions? Or are they censoring him, because his opinion holds so much sway, that the predictions just become a self fulfilling prophecy due to momentum?
I highly doubt that this one man, and a couple thousand viewers of his posts are really going to put Lehman Brothers(2nd or 3rd larget market maker) under the sink. I believe the market is too big and too dynamic for one blogger to have this much of an impact. The Korean currencies is just as implausible, just for the fact of the scope of the foreign currencies market, it is too big, and there are way too many rich world players in the market for this guy and a couple of thousand people to push the currency value down, if other countries deem it more valuable. One word comes to mind arbitrage.
