Dobbs goes on to describe Keynes’ homosexual relationships and fondness for young boys, which Keynes usually acquired in third-world countries where such services were more easily, and discretely, purchased than in more developed countries.
(As a much older man, Keynes wrote of those halcyon days of his youth, “We repudiated all versions of original sin, of there being insane and irrational springs of wickedness in most men. We were not aware that civilization was a thin and precarious crust…and only maintained by rules and conventions. It did not occur to us to respect the extraordinary accomplishment of our predecessors in the ordering of life, or the elaborate framework that they had devised to protect this order. We completely misunderstood human nature, including our own”).
While “Sugar Keynes” is no doubt an eye-opening account of Keynes’ sexual proclivities, bed-mates, and Far Left soul mates, the book “Keynes at Harvard” by Dobbs is where to go if you want to understand how truly poisonous Keynesian economics is.

[Article actually starts off with two economic quotes ...]
"By a continuous process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens…and while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some…. The process engages all of the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner that not one man in a million can diagnose.” —John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) From Economic Consequences of the Peace 1920
“I have always harbored an exaggerated view of my self-importance. To put it bluntly, I fancied myself as some kind of god or an economic reformer like Keynes….” —George Soros from The Alchemy of Finance 1987
“I learned that free-market capitalism is the greatest source of revolutionary fervor that the world has ever seen. And I didn’t need conservatives to teach me that lesson. Karl Marx explained it, right in The Communist Manifesto. He described the bourgeoisie as the greatest revolutionary class the world has ever known, constantly trying to undermine and improve upon its advances of but a few years ago. He was right.” —Bruce Abramson
Well said. Wicked self gratification at the expense of others — “Learn to like it; it’s for your own good.”
Thank you for adding that observation Great RJ. [He openly displayed a homo-erotic painting on PBS?]
It's really very sad.
Oh, great, now I feel guilty for playing hooky from subbing today. I'll just go shopping until the feeling passes...
Did you catch Post 10 right above your’s?
He apprently even displayed a homo-erotic painting on PBS [post 10].
I guess he would be happy giving 3 year old boys patdowns at airports.
Isn't IKEA open yet?
I think they know they are so far along in their plans that nothing will stop them at this point.
Besides, they want chaos and bloodshed in the streets.
“I think they know they are so far along in their plans that nothing will stop them at this point.”
They are insecure and frustrated. So long as you see signs of that, it’s not over.
In a battle, it is normal to feel like you are losing when you are actually winning. I think the war of words and politics is even more difficult to perceive who is winning.
At first I thought it said the “Kenyansian Way”, but then again it’s pretty much the same thing.
Good points.
However, the Biblical outline will be the truth at some point.
We don’t know precisely which nations will be unreliable, contentiously under the AC’s rule. I suspect China will be one.
And we don’t know how thoroughly every square inch of territory will be effectively controlled.
“Kenyan...sian Way”... Ah. I could imagine.
I don’t think Kenyans yet realize what an evil man he is.
True.
Fatalism’s only place is based on certainty. Otherwise, “Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.”
People with kids, family-men, tend to put more emphasis on the distant consquences of their actions, limit the self-serving impulse spending, and favor solid long-term processes which will benefit children and children's children. They'd say "In the long run, our children will inherit all this (this legacy or this mess.)"
I guess we're doomed?
Nothing merely political.
Their primary opponents have intended to counter with unrestrained military force since the 1950s.
Homosexuals in the military has been one of their primary goals since the 70s for a reason. They need a military faction, and a spartan life of discipline is an anethema to hedonistic leftists. But if the military could be turned into a sexual smorgasboard ala Hollywood’s take on “Starship Troopers” ...
INDEED.
“But if the military could be turned into a sexual smorgasboard ala Hollywood’s take on “Starship Troopers” ...”
I’ve been concerned about that myself. One naval vessel had a huge percentage of pregnant crew members a few years back. Sickening.
