On entering the Institute as a Cadet I have sworn as it were allegiance to a constitution peculiar to the Institute and independent of the general government. And when I consider the former [modeled] by the government constitution in its purity and at the time confined to legitimate limits under its authority this I will abide by when the general government shall have been perverted by ambitious and designing men for personal sectional interest. And since I enjoy the privilege and protection the Institute affords I am as you will admit honorably bound to defend its interest when infringed on by the corrupt and aggressive government.
It is said that there would not have been the war but for slavery. Slavery was or was not outlawed but in any event there was a part of the society against it.
Governments and people didn't end up drowing in debt by accident.
It's all part of the high finance plan to extract from us all our income
over and above a basic subsistence to stay alive - and keep paying.

Huge difference between intellectually-honest Michael Hudson and agent-provocateur Max Keizer. Michael may be stuck in some romantic ideas of “real industrial capitalism”, but I’d take his views any time of the day over other players in economical academia.

I could most certainly sit down and
have an engaging conversation
with Hudson, not sure if I would
be comfortable anywhere close to Max Keizer.
Seems like kind of a creep.
Keep in mind atm that Hudson
does not endorse Ron PayPaul
and his "Austrian economics",
abolishing social security etc.
He's a Kucinich guy.
I can't find anything being pushed
on his website except for a couple
of books. Standard practice.

Hey there,
Thought I'd post here since it's an active thread. I think what folks are missing on the economic and financial front is that the dollar-system is very close to the end of its timeline. When one considers that the world of derivatives functions as a life-support mechanism for the dollar, it becomes clear. We're facing an epic, historical shift and I think all of the various personalities doing YouTubes, essentially explaining various parts of the elephant, as well as the mass movements forming in protest, really don't get it at all. We can't stop the mind-numbing blow-out of false wealth. We can't tax our way out of it, we can't re-distribute our way out of it, and we can't legislate our way out of it. Far too late, maybe 30 years or more too late. Sure, there are things that individuals can do to insulate themselves from this inevitability, but collectively, no way. My best suggestion for everyone is to spend at least 40 hours minimum over at FOFOA.blogspot.com and try to get your heads around this thing. Start at the end or start at the beginning, read the comment section, focus on a guy named JR, the resident librarian. Don't get lost in the nuance debates, just try to fathom what FOFOA has elaborated. 'Nuff said. See ya down the road. _________________ Some truth there was, but dashed and brewed with lies, to please the fools and puzzle all the wise. John Donne

leon - that's just fear-mongering. I suspect that there are no functional nuclear bombs anywhere on the planet. If TPTB can fake a moon-landing back in the 60's, just imagine what they can get us to believe today. There are pictures of buildings standing near the epicenter of where the atomic bombs supposedly hit in one of the two cities in Japan. They were able to devastate Nagasaki and Hiroshima with the same kind of fire-bombing done in Dresden and Tokyo. Just an opinion. The whole nuclear bomb scare was the underpinning of a phony Cold War as Antony Sutton detailed in his 3-volume study called Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development. Back to the moon-landing topic, here's a great link to a series of articles by Dave McGowan called Wagging the Moondoggie. If you want to take a real strange ride, read his series on Laurel Canyon as well, and then tell me what they can and can't do via psychological operations.

Nice to know it. Sure, it’s all fake, including my father, civil engineer, who built one of the first Russian uranium enrichment plant in Chelyabinsk 40 and my mother, the medical doctor, who treated first cases of radiation sickness. Only internet morons like you know what’s fake and what’s not.

Now how about staying on topic? Fucking trolls!
