    I agree that the US should get out of propping up various criminal sides in Africa and elsewhere. But that includes so-called humanitarian aid too and idiot ideas of sending troops to Darfur as suggested by both brainless leftlibs and brainless neocons. Africa is a total mess and the Africans themselves are 99% to blame. The Marxist cannibal Mugabe is symptomatic of the whole continent.

    WTH, actually over five million people in the Congo just since 2000. And I have to say the attention given to it has been rather sparse. But bottom line it IS Africans killing each other and we can't be the all-purpose scapegoat there. Mostly I agree with you, where we diverge is that I support the Founders' ideas of no permanent friends, only US interests and nonentanglement in other folks affairs. The Iraqis haven't had "democracy" for 5,000 years and the Founders wouldn't have given a rat's ass and I don't either. We are overexposed to instant news breaking tragedies and …

    Thanks for your comments, WTH. I was in DC then, met Goldwater several times and worked on his campaign. I was then too young to vote for him (19) but there was a picture of me standing next to him at Dulles Airport in January 1964 when he announced, it was in the Washington Evening Star. I agree with you about the no-win wars, MacArthur was right and Truman wrong in Korea but after the total victory of WW2 for world communism and world zionism I decided to revert to the Robert A. Taft foreign policy. Goldwater was much more principled …

    Ignore the rantings of the two Israeli State apologists and anti-Arab racists above. Israel literally created both Hamas and Hezbollah. The first as an alternative to the secular PLO in the late 70s and the second through their barbaric invasion and occupation of Lebanon in 1982. Israel has never wanted peace, see The Iron Wall by Avi Schlaim, an israeli historian, for the definitive view of the relations between Israel and the Arab States. Then see Alfred M. Lilienthal's The Zionist Connection for the overall view including the Palestinians. The book by the left Zionist Noam Chomsky, The Fateful Triangle: The …

    I think I'll make the decision to respond whether you approve or not. 750,000 is the common figure given for 1948, actually the expulsions started in late 1947 but UNWRRA was feeding and housing over 970,000 Palestinians by early 1949 so the figure of one million for 48 would be more accurate. There have been AT LEAST another million forced out of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza since 67, hence two million total. No Jews were kicked out of Arab lands, about 500,000 (NOT "800,00") Jews WERE RECRUITED BY iSRAEL FROM THREE COUNTRIES, IRAQ, MOROCCO AND YEMEN IN THE …

    Truman heard those arguments but never gave them serious consideration and he was blunt about it, it was a naked appeal for Jewish votes as both Dewey and Taft in the GOP were playing the same game. Your analogy on the Indians is wrong because they were not sedentary, unlike the Irish and the Palestinians, they mostly did not cultivate the land, they were nomadic unlike the Irish and the Palestinians but to the extent that the US Govt did steal their lands and did break treaties they should be compensated and that is very possible. Palestine was a very small …

You are frightened to have your religious beliefs questioned here.

    No, it didn't and your assertion doesn't make it so and while it wouldn't justify Israel if it did, it is certainly relevant to 60 plus years of serious lying. See ihr.org and vho.org. and it's holocaust (the very name a lie) revisionism. Not "denial" a loaded perjorative anti-concept.

Faurisson literally demolishes Raul Hilberg, the dean of the holohoax historians and I should add that Hilberg himself is critical of 90% of his fellow holocausters for their outright lying, half-truths and exaggerations.

The fact that the EU has become a super Stalinist totalitarian government will only hasten its coming demise. The UK will never enact that and recently the Atty Gen in Switzerland said it was time to repeal those laws there. The hundreds of lying perjurers at the DemJanJuk Show Trial in Israel showed the exact worth of this "holocaust" (the very word a lie) "testimony." The Germans apparently never learned a thing from fascism and national socialism. This is precisely …

    BTW, Nuremberg: The Last Battle by David Irving is more recent and quite good. Irving is not actually a holocaust revisionist and his knowledge of holocaust revisionism is quite questionable as Robert Faurisson pointed out. But he is a very good historian and he uses more primary sources than any other one. He was the first to expose the Hitler Diaries as a fraud back in the early 80s. None of the revisionists question the camps, the antisemitism, the divided German responsibility for the war or that many Jews died of typhus in the last year of the war and that …

    You never looked at any of the holocaust revisionist literature and you give it away by use of the "denial" anti-concept. F.J.P. Veale's Advance To Barbarism is a devastating early indictment of the Nuremberg Stalinist Show trials which were right out of the Stalin show trials of the 30s. The very fact that one party to a conflict would be judging the other is a total fraud and that is why the leading UK historian A.J.P. Taylor labeled Nuremberg "a macabre farce."

No one is "denying" anything, as an atheist I don't "deny" god, I just don't believe in the concept. Your thesis that if enough people believe something than it must be true is logically groundless and historically inaccurate. People believe anything if it's repeated enough.

Since these voters had the brains of mules they did exactly that ! Since the African-American vote in that part of Duval County went 99.9% for Gore it is easy to surmise he lost it right there.

    Moon IS a strong Christian Zionist, you nut. Check out his Washington Times, check out the lengthy piece on Christian Zionists in the beeble belt nut south in a summer 2002 Mother Jones. AshkeNAZI Jews like yourself are NOT Semites. All Arabs are. Israel backed Somoza and Trujillo and apartheid South Africa and even the Nazi Argentine Junta according to Jane Hunter's books, she is a Jewess and according to Jacobo Timmerman who fled the Argentine Junta and then later fled Israel. He wrote "There is no business like Shoah Business."

    Well, you might read Murray Rothbard's For A New Liberty for starters.

I've used it twice to come across the country, 80 in 73 and 40 in 96. It still doesn't justify it. To answer your last question, YES.

Not the only factor but we ignore it at our peril and of course positing the stupidass assumption that racism is most white is the kind of head up the gazoo thinking that has alienated the larger American society from the left.

    You take up a lot of space as is the wont of bad writers to say the same things over annd over again that I have refuted at great length with references. The Rosenbergs were properly convicted of the most serious crimes of treason and espionage in a US Federal Court presided over by a distinguished Jewish Judge and a brilliant Jewish prosecutor. It was not "anti-semitism" and it was not exclusively "hearsay" though EVERY trial has large elements of hearsay so that is really a weasel word so you can impugn the results that you dislike.

Felsikov has a whole book on it which he did NOT repudiate as you lied yesterday, on a par with your lie about Northwestern firing Butz.

They were traitors and spies and richly deserved their execution. Also Roy Cohn's McCarthy for further details as Cohn prosecuted the case for Truman's Justice Department.

    Again, you lie. See Nemesis At Potsdam by Alfred DeZaya. The 15 million expelled Germans had lived there in German speaking terrtitories in what VERSAILLES turned over to illegiltimate criminal governments in Poland andCzechoslovakia, FOR CENTURIES. Any expelles from "east" Germany were only after Poland annexed those areas after WW2. Kant's hometown of Konigsberg became Kaliningrad after WW2. Not only the Czechs and Poles but the Soviets stole huge areas of Germany after WW2. In addition to the Versailles Treaty major thefts after WW1. Your Jewish "math" isn't working here.

Czechoslovakia never existed before Versailles as was the case with Yugoslavia. The Polish Kingdom was a joke BUT it always had millions of the German and Russian tribes living in its area.

Foreign Aid Grants and loans---$74,157,600,00 Other US Aid to Israel-------------$9,047,227,200 Interest to Israel from Advanced Payments----$1,650,000,000 Interest Cost to US Taxpayers---$49, 936, 680,000 Grand Total as of TEN years ago---$134, 791, 507,200.

    Liberalism is practically identical to socialism and has been at least since the Progressive Era before WW1. You may be thinking of the original laissez-faire liberalism but that has been dead for a century. Socialists now prefer to rule through regulation and taxation rather than nationalization. Same as liberals. Communism IS socialism, the so-called 'anarchist' stage of communism is never reached. All the communist countries were state socialist economies and societies. Socialism itself is a confused conservative movement, using the Enlightenment but with coercive means, see Left And Right:The Prospects For Liberty by Murray N.

    Axioms are "meaningless" ??????????????? The most basic axiom, existence, is at the root of everythng. Consciousness is the faculty of perceiving that which exists, if what you claim to perceive is not existence, then you are not conscious. Which I think may be at the root of your problems. As for external reality as distinguished from that miasma of nuttiness which are the contents of your head, just use your eyes....................You'll see it quickly enough.

    Wrong, loony. They describe the real world and existence is the most basic of them. You can't go under or behind or around it. See Leonard Peikoff's The Analytic-Synthetic Dichotomy and spare us the dimestore Kantianism. As far as millions of Christian lunatics reporting miracles, the truth is never judged by the quantity of its adherents as I discovered when investigating the misnamed "holocaust." People lie about all sorts of things and lie en masse too. A long line of zeroes is still A zero.

Your view of The Founders is the usual stupidass Marxian garbage but you have an absolute right to your benighted views.

    I never made any anti-Jewish statements, generalizations or otherwise. You are the twisted little fuck who decided that if you believe 4-5 million European Jews previously considered killed were not that that makes you a Nazi. It's interesting that a hardcore egalitarian fuck like yourself claims that the opportunities available to one of the more affluent groups is available to all, an obvious lie and one which your fellow leftists will be much more enraged about than I am. I NEVER mentionedthe term "conspiracy" but Jews are as guilty of corrupt manipulation of the system as anyone else. Your self-serving whitewash …

    The whole concept of mental illness is bogus as are the subdivisions of manic depressive, schizophrenia, etc. I don't have time nor do we have the space to go out into the reasoning here. You need to read Thomas S. Szasz, MD, The Myth Of Mental Illness and Insanity. The compulsory nature of mental treatment is what makes it Soviet style, these mental hospitals are prisons. PERIOD.

    You are wrong but rather than trade anecdotes based on totally questionable premises it would be better for you to read Szasz directly, a prominent psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who came to challenge the fundamental premises of his profession, he also a website as well as probably 25 or more scholarly books, just referenced two to keep it simple. Mental illness is not an objective reality but a much bigger hoax than the "holocaust" at least that has a patina of truth to it because of the Nazis persecution of the Jews. But mental illness is based on premises that simply medically …

Medical science has never established ANY organic causes to a so-called mental disease, if they did it would not be a mental disease but a physical one, READ SZASZ AND READ BREGGIN. Prozac has killed many people and is extremely harrmful, I can recommend another book of Breggin's just on prozac and at least three other books by doctors that expose prozac. Which was rushed …

Maybe you are too frightened to have your paradigm challenged as is the case with what is mislabeled the "holocaust."

The economy did boom after Reagan's cuts took effect, they were in a three year stage. In fact in life most things trickle down, they don't happen all at once.

I know people have fought battles to influence, say, the University of California, on certain issues because of the large number of institutional shares they own in certain businesses. But that is a very abstract process, I agree. Perhaps the current concept of the corporation needs to be reexamined. As a libertarian I have always been opposed to their exemption via bankruptcy to paying their debts, this is an incredible economic intervention in their …

    The trouble with the system now is that is too socialized with medicare, HMO's, etc. The state will decide who can and can't get surgery because of "society's" (read: government) resources. People who need serious surgery in Canada come here. We should turn over medicine to the folks who run the postal service ? And what you consider "cosmetic" otheres consider necessary and if they can afford it they should get it. Not have some shitass bureaucrat decide for them.

There are no rights to any services provided by other humans. You only have the right to negotiate for the service or goods or whatever.

The authors of The Bell Curve, particularly Herrnstein, are more than qualified to write on the subject and I suspect that if you had agreed with them, you'd never bring this point.

    David, I never wrote that he mentioned Chomsky, if you read his piece you will see that he blames the critics of Bush as well as the supporters and if you read enough of his crap you will see he rarely criticizes Bush except for not being hawkish enough and sending in many more troops to Iraq. I thought the irony in my rhetorical question to him was evident.

On the historical record of the US Govt, Dems or Reps, they do not deserve the benefit of the doubt. Their level of mendacious criminality is such that they are guilty until proven innocent. Just the reverse of normal justice because we are dealing with a totally abnormal gang of liars and mass murderers.

Anti-racism has become to liberal scoundrels what anti-communism was to conservative scoundrels in the 1950s. TI is just a "minority" version of Scorp, same neocon policies and big lies.

    I didn't write since 1948. At least since 1967. Five billion is the actual figure and I can give you the refs on this. I used to think it was merely three billion but I found that did not cover all economic and military aid nor did it cover the numerous more than annual supplemental aid. Israel in several years has gotten more than five billion in aid. I never said anyone was entitled to their own facts. The Washington Report On The Middle East is good here.

    Texass, you're qualified to debunk Chomsky in linguisitics, maybe you're also qualified to debunk Einstein in relativity.............. Chomsky has debunked the environmentalist tabula rasa thesis and none of those studies have debunked Chomsky, in fact 40 years ago was when Chomsky knocked Bloomfield and the Skinnerians off their throne for good. You're as ignorant of linguistics as you are of history and political philosophy and you are as hardcore a racist as they come. Needless to say you can't refute any of Chomsky's political works either.

Palestine is a very small area wherein close to a million Arabs were expelled in 1948, they were NOT Nomads except for a few Beduoins and they had property titles and often even proof of ownership.

No ,the wealth is NOT filtering down as many conservative commentators like Pat Buchanan and Paul Craig Roberts have noted but the former disparity of 30 to 1 by bosses over workers has now gone to 400 or 500 to 1, astronomical levels not seen since the twenties. Most of the middle class believe that they are getting the shaft because they ARE getting the shaft and none …

Rap Brown hucksters, the Eldridge Cleaver racists, Malcolm in his anti-white phase........................... Why do we keep glorifying criminals and criminality ? What kind of a role model for Black youth are these criminals ? The sap headed left is promoting our destruction. How about John McWhorter or Booker T. Washington ? Thomas Sowell or Clarence Thomas ? Ward Connerly or Walter Williams ? Decent, highly intellectual black men who and smell fine.

    Race is not issue in much of Latin America as it is here. Except for a few all white countries like Argentina, Uruguay and Chile the population is much more mixed than in North America. There is no black power or white power movements in those countries. Chavez is trying to overcome US isolation but he has to be careful about overdoing the black brother crap. Latins and blacks here can't stand each other. Africa is a total failure since independence. Colonialism will be returning and everyone will be better off.

    timeforchange, I pretty much agree with you except for the idea that philosophical problems may be unanswerable. That's a legacy of Kant, who decided to limit reason in order to make room for religious faith. His noumenal world like his categories are preposterous arbitrary assertions that bear no relation to objective reality. Allegedly he was trying to answer Hume's absurdity that there is no regularity in causation but his answer was worse than Hume's non-problem and western philosophy has been chasing its tail ever since. I once tried to explain this to Chomsky and the arrogant bozo couldn't get it ! …

    First of all the very concept of equality makes no sense. Only in the narrow sense of equal justice before the law should it apply. The battle against Jim Crow was justified because the southern states imposed mandatory legal segregation after Reconstruction and quite disgracefully the US Supreme Court upheld it.

For him to tell you "learn to think" is like a retarded first grader lecturing Einstein on physics ! Kaplan's defense of two century plus US imperialism in TNR was quite a piece ! Even Chomsky was blown away by it when I emailed it to him. Cheers.

And I know some Black Oaklanders who feel this way too. Oakland could be a wonderful but for the lumpen elements of mostly one group. Not exclusively but mostly.

    RH, there needs to be government sponsored major family planning initiatives in all the ghettoes of the USA. This should include the repeal of the reactionary 1980 Hyde Amendment and total payment for abortion among the entire lumpen strata, whether people of color so-called or poor whites. Can we join in this great progressive cause as we remember Bernard Shaw's words that we don't need to idolize the poor, we need to get rid of poverty. And preventing future poor people is a good step in that direction. All forms of planning including sterilization should be on the table. If you …

    Actually the Black Muslims assassinated Malcolm X. The leadership in my city has been disgraceful, whether the 20 years of the Wilson-Harris Black Machine or the 8 years of Jerry Brown. Farrakhan is hated because he's an anti-white racist and an anti-semite. I don't "expect" anything. Decent people will share good progressive values and the racists of ALL stripes won't. If Farrakhan could get away with lynching, he would. He probably helped do in Malcolm X. No way he has clean hands.

Bush's budget proposals have been the same, HIGHER than Congress most of the time and he has only vetoed ONE bill. A dismal record.

    All economists agree that the record deficits under both Reagan and Bush 2 were produced by two factors, wild tax cuts which dramatically reduced the revenue coming in and wild "defense" spending which broke the bank.

    I actually agree with most of what you write but you are making some rather large assumptions about what I think. Blacks as well as whites have played the race card for generations now. I understand that whites started it but that hardly makes it right. There are a great many things wrong in black culture and society that can't be solely blamed on whitey. When people like Cosby and McWhorter, who are not conservatives, start to tlak about the rampant crime and sociopathology in Black America they gets shouted down by ignorant lefties, who are more often than not the …

She actually spent a month in jail in Mississipi in summer 65 doing voter registration work. Cosby is right to take these punks to task, they can pull up their pants and try to improve themselves.

    Your figures from Wikipedia don't add up to support your claim. Furthermore, Wikipedia isnotoriously unreliable as anyone can post anything there. The figures came from the Federal Government's Office of the Budget. In 2000 Clinton was running a huge surplus which was projected at five trillion over the next few years. Bush converted that in a six trillion dollar deficit. End of debate. Good writers can write concisely and to the point.
