    Found at last! After searching for 10 years, the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction have finally been found – in Syria!

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    United States bombings, which can be just as indiscriminate and cruel as poison gas. (A terrorist is someone who has a bomb but doesn’t have an air force.)
    The glorious bombing list of our glorious country, which our glorious schools don’t teach, our glorious media don’t remember, and our glorious leaders glorify.

      If you want a fuller picture of the butchery inflicted by the glorious USA's
      goverments and US military over a century + on their own people and on the peoples of other nations, beg, borrow or steal
      Ziauddin Sardar's and
      Merryl Wynn Davies' book:

      "Why Do People Hate America?" by Icon books (www.iconooks.co.uk).

      The book gives details of some 140 "interventions"
      both within and without the USA.

      http://www.zmag.org/CrisesCurEvts/Interventions.htm

      The list starts with South Dakota 1890
      when US troops slaughtered 300 Lakota Indians at Wounded Knee. 1920-21 West Virginia, troops bombing. US Army intervenes against mineworkers.
      Washington DC 1932 US Army intervenes
      to stop WW1 veterans bonus protest.
      Detroit 1943 US Army puts down Black American rebellion. Again Detroit 1967 US Army battles Black Americans - 43 killed. Just 5 of over 100 + interventions both domestic and foreign by the United States Military.

      Read the book or visit the website ( not sure if that web address is still up).


      You think it began in the 1950s?
      It all began (as far as we know) in the 1890s!!

      From Wounded Knee to Afghanistan.

    Are the Rothschilds really this strong, or do they just want us to believe that they are?

    In fact, if they were half as strong as you and so many others suggest they would have taken control of the planet long ago.

    It is clear that most of the power is still up for grabs. And I expect that it always will be.

      Thanks Joan. I am not saying that these bankers are not as strong as some suggest, I am just saying that they certainly are trying to make themselves look stronger than they really are. The exact truth on all of these matters is unknowable it seems to me.

      Every time there is a big earthquake we get a "leak" suggesting that it was HAARP. But you know what, nature causes lots of earthquakes. Maybe mechanical devices exist too, who knows? But every time anything happens we get these suggestions that the illuminati or the bankers or the Freemasons are behind it. Maybe sometimes they are to some extent.

      But I refuse to believe most of what the so-called "alternative media" suggests. It is just as much lies and disinformation as the "mainstream" media.

    Hungary's Admiral Horthy echoed what Herr Hitler (who was proclaimed Führer even though he is not a native-born German) said about the murderous Šyroslovakian regime of Bašar Beneš. "It's an unacceptable oppression the ethnic Muslim Brotherhood minority. We cannot stand by while our compatriots are gassed and bombed," he said. "They will learn that the Reich stands by its own," he added.

    And Austrian Economics is a Nazi idea. One that could only be imposed on working people by first smashing their unions in a fascist state. Joseph Schumpeter said that his idol was Vilfredo Pareto, who in turn Mussolini called "the Father of Fascism".

    The one virtue of truly good propaganda is that it never loses its appeal. That there is anyone left on earth willing to defend the Austrian school is indeed a tribute to its efficacy as a weapon in the international class war against working people.

    If there is anybody out there interested in the truth, a brief history lesson is in order: Historically what is now called Austrianism has been known as liberalism [i.e. free markets]. Up until ww2, the term libertarianism has historically indicated libertarian communism [aka anarchism]. So plz remember these terms are used in contemporary aAmerican political parlance in precisely the opposite way it is used in the classic texts of economics.

    The other thing one needs to know is that fascism endorsed a dictatorial central government which purported to be neutral vis-a-vis the classes. fascism argued against liberalism/libertarianism in that it was too plutocratic, and against Marxism/anarchism etc because it was too democratic. Both Hitler and Mussolini argued that people were NOT equal, and shouldn't have equal rights or political power. Some contribute more to society, and thus can rightly claim more in return. Fascists were opposed to a classless, egalitarian society, instead arguing that the classes of a given race/nation should be loyal to each other and the state should not side with one faction or the other. Fascism claimed to be a friend to working people.

    This, of course was nonsense, fascism was the creation of the ruling class designed to pre-empt socialism by promising the working class that the fascist state would take care of them, unlike the bourgeois/liberal/libertarian state.

    So, I quote from Mises' book entitled "Liberalism," [by which he means free-market capitalism, or what is now called "libertarianism" in America]:

    "It cannot be denied that Fascism and similar movements aiming at the establishment of dictatorships are full of the best intentions and that their intervention has, for the moment, saved European civilization. The merit that Fascism has thereby won for itself will live on eternally in history. But though its policy has brought salvation for the moment, it is not of the kind which could promise continued success. Fascism was an emergency makeshift. To view it as something more would be a fatal error."

    Hitler, Franco, and Mussolini saved European civilization, by which, of course, he means capitalism. That's what "Austrianism" is. Get it now?

    Incidentally, Hayek and Mises were funded by the Rothschilds, just as Milton Friedman was funded by the Rockefellers. No government with capitalism is PRECISELY what the plutocrats want.

    Jim, I'm afraid Jason Herb is just another left wing statist promoting statist solutions [i.e. the "hand inside the glove" of the state ] to economic/ monetary problems caused by the state itself.

    To accomplish this he misrepresents Austrian theory and he appears to be [conveniently] entirely unaware of the single underlying principle that precedes any/all subsequent "Austrian" theories [ methodological individualism] .

    Happy trolling, Onebornfree. It's clear you've never read my many articles at fauxcapitalist.com, calling for government strictly limited to the protection of life, liberty and property.

    You've fallen into a typical trap of equating Austrianism with freedom, and any criticism of it as statist.

    1] I have read your articles.

    2] Government cannot be limited, nor has it ever protected life, liberty or property, or anything else for that matter [other than itself and its sycophants].

    Jason , you are living in a fantasy world. Sweet dreams!

    Great speech on Syria, Jim. I'm listening to it now after Obama has concluded his attack Syria speech on C-SPAN tonight, 9/10.

    I wish I could play this tape on the comment phone lines. Not one caller has asked for proof of the sllegations against Syria when it was the "rebels," which include Al Qaeda and the Saudis, who used the Sarin gas. What a nation of sheep we have become.

    What a disgrace, as you said, Jim, and our disgusting representatives need to be impeached.

    Again, we are acting without evidence just like 9/11, and with the help of a willing media.

    What a fool Charlie Rose made of himself while interviewing Assad who was the only rational one of the two. And shame on Letterman, Jon Stewart and the rest of the mockers.
