Despicable. Would Salon print a similar article about Nazism, which is dead and gone, while Communism continues to claim victims? Where is the outrage such as when some obscure British historian presents an original interpretation of WWII? In some post-Communist countries such an article would cause legal proceedings against the author and the publication, and don’t give me lame arguments about the 1st Amendment, there are victims of these utopias still alive and suffering.
Imagine however that it is 1940 and an article such as this by, say, Walter Duranty, a recipient of Pulitzer Prize appears. The purpose of propaganda of this type is to plant the seeds of doubt and that is sufficient to affect foreign policy of the country, and was sufficient then, as it was sufficient during the Vietnam war. There are two sides to the story, the propagandists persuade us, and that’s quite enough, don’t believe those crazy Birchers whose writings we will not publish.
Can’t argue with that. I’m in the banking business.
That's because communism and socialism for that matter doesn't mean what you think it means. Far from being a true redistribution paradigm, it really means for the ultra-rich to consolidate and control all sources of funding, including precious metals and even bit-coins. Everything. Put in that light, it suddenly becomes very clear why so many of the super rich and corporate C.E.O.'s belong to the Bilderberg society and the Council on Foreign Relations. See?
When I work in a high school, I usually teach American Government and Economics. I didn't really understand economics in the bigger picture as it pertains to the Fed and central banking and the concept of Fractional Reserve Banking until I read the Creature From Jekyll Island. Every year I get invited to the dinner for Economics teachers held at the Fed branch here in Miami. I go whether I'm in a middle school or high school. I live for the Q&A session at the end of whatever presentation is being given right after the AMAZING free meal and open bar. HoooooAH!
The first year I asked the speaker a question from the book and he couldn't answer it, although I forget just now what it was that I asked. But I do remember the Fed brass at the front table (I was at an adjoining table right next to them) utter in a stage whisper to "get the microphone away from that guy!" The next year I was NOT issued an invite from the Fed, but several of my friends (other economics teachers) did send me one anyway. I went. I wasn't the only one asking questions from the book. That was like ten years ago, now and we always go each October. A few of us can be counted on to ask them the difficult questions.
The guys from the Fed figured it was better to join rather than resist. I'm even on pretty good terms with a few of them. I asked for some of the shredded money they gave us in our Fed "goodie bags" along with the obligatory Fed indoctrination materials for our students (middle school and high school levels). The guy sent me a CASE of those shredded money packets. Each packet held an average of $500 to about a thousand in old shredded cash. I use them for kid motivation. They love 'em!

uhhh, I'm not Travis...
I have been in a bank for almost 10 years. I spent 25 years as a State examiner in Alabama, the last 5 of which was in the regulation of regional banks over $10 billion in assets. During those 5 years, by necessity, I was joined at the hip with Fed examiners since all 5 of our regionals at the time were Fed member banks. Suffice it to say that bank supervision had become exponentially more intrusive and meddling over my examiner career. I did not, and do not, like the trend. It is excessive, overbearing and now the tool of fascist style government where the shape and form of the product is dictated by government. I hope I can find a way to get out of the banking business in the next 3 - 5 years . . . I am only 57. I would like to get my hands on that book you cited.
So with that: Travis, you've got kids. Are they in the public schools?
Interesting though that the two have a lot in common: Fear of sunlight (Truth and transparency), Fear of Christians, Christian symbols and Christian doctrine, fear of weapons capable of doing them damage. Also they share a strong desire for mind control. They both embrace abomidable practices.
Moses and Jesus went up on mountain tops to communicate with God.
Mad Mo was communicating with somebody else down in the bat cave.
Something clicked just in time when I saw that picture...At first, I thought it to be pornographic in nature, but another part of me thought...
How appropriate...
I will leave it to the imagination of those willing to see how deep the rabbit hole goes...;-)
Communism may be winning the hearts and minds of the mush-heads that are being spawned these days...But in the end...
We’ll win...There is no other way to look at it...Either you are onboard willingly, and with full understanding and commitment, or get the heck out of my (our) way...
When the tide turns, I bet we’ll notice how many people do not say they work, or used to work at Salon magazine...And other places we know the be hives of liberal/socialist pests...
You just have to believe in our future, of regaining our liberties and freedoms, the way it was intended to be from those aged, but most important documents, and the inspiration that forged them in the minds of great, virtuous men...
If you can’t fathom it now, I can dig it...People go through their ups and downs...It takes a little faith, and little courage, and be unapologetic about your beliefs, in spite of “their” nonsense...
I know it cannot get much worse...Both socially and economically...But if it comes down to it, the fight they think will never come, will certainly be something that really stings when and if it does...And I hope they learn a lesson a shrink back into the depths of hell where this abominable political and social ideology came from...
IT has to happen...
Just my knee-jerk reaction...
