  “America won WWII because of the government?” Max said. Uhh. That’s a weird statement. WWII was a globalist banker and capitalist criminal business transaction. The bankers and capitalists would have had whatever outcome they wanted whether the US government had existed or not. (sigh) America was CHOSEN to win because it was CHOSEN as the state model ( read as cage for non-elite humans ) to produce some of the most complex goods for the rich and provide a concentrated position of military and economic power.

  America was an experiment in giving caged mice lots of carrots, and that experiment failed in the eyes of the rich. The caging of mice with lots of stick swats is the experiment that they prefer. Hence the withdrawal of carrots and arrival of so many sticks lately, and the moving of capital to cages where the mice are accustomed to stick swats.

  My faint national pride asserts I am Scottish.
  Westminster tells me I am British.
  Brussels thinks I am european.
  But Buddha doesn’t give a shit and neither do I.

  Hi Max/Stacy

  Good point about the name of “Brit, England, Scotland” etc. The actual name of the country is:

  “The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”

  So people who live there, must say:

  “I am The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Irish, what are you?”

  @ Max

  I deeply resent your lumping my libertarian beliefs in with Neo Nazism. My brother and I went to tea party protests with many others here in Santa Barbara, who knew full well that we were protesting a state sponsored banking syndicate. These were middle aged, educated people of all walks.

  We also saw the controlled media trying to paint it to the cable-viewer as just redneck, racism, since they could now pull the race card with a black prez. The tea parties were protesting the bailout.

  You Max, are drinking someone’s koolaid, to be making claims you know what the public opinion really is here on the ground floor, as an expat, in France.

  Peter Schiff went to Tea Parties. Alex Jones went to tea parties. And so did I. Don’t alienate your fans here in the US by calling our public dissent, for reasons you sympathize with, as racist.

  That shows your level of disconnect with Americans who know the level of fascism happening here. And it shows you fell for the propaganda labeling our cause as racist.
