Another Neocon Attack on Ron Paul

(LewRockwell) – Religious rightist Michael Gerson, a Karl Rove disciple and Bush speechwriter, was rewarded with a perch at the once influential Washington Post. So his attempt at thought control, while despicable, is also predictable. Oh for the days of that fake Brit and real CIA agent Bill Buckley, when he could expel Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard,  John T. Flynn, Albert Jay Nock, and anyone else who refused to back the warfare state, from…from…the pages of his mag, I guess. Funny how establishment types still tell these fairy tales to warm themselves around the fires of burning books. It never worked outside the MSM.

How the US Government Created the ‘Drug Problem’ in the USA

“The bottom line on this whole business has not yet been written.”
Eighteenth-century German philosopher Georg Friedrich Hegel long ago developed, among other things, what he called the principle of “thesis, antithesis, synthesis” to explain the process of deliberately enacted social disorder and change as a road to power. To achieve a desired result, one deliberately creates a situation (“thesis,”) devises a “solution,” to solve the “problems” created by that situation (“antithesis,”) with the final result being the ultimate goal of more power and control (“synthesis.”) It is unsurprising Karl Marx and his disciples like Lenin and Trotsky, as well as the US government in its so-called War On Drugs, made this process a keystone of their drive for total control of all individual actions that, in their views, were not, in Mussolini s terms, “inside the state” and thus controllable by the same.

Romer, Bernanke, and the Flying Donkeys
