Living in a virtual, self-referential world and believing it to be actual reality, as the mainstream Western media do? Incurable.

Predator is here. Will Terminator be next? And who will be “JOHN CONNOR” if there is no one to trust in the MSM, Congress, Military, Bureaucrats, or everyday people?

ps: Myron, your anti-Fair Tax comment has surprised the hell out of me, but that’s just me and I have absolutely no inclination to discuss further since I have already taken that path with many of my friends. There is no UTOPIA.

pps: Is RT the new RUSSIA TODAY?

It if means a $ 4 Trillion Warmongering-Welfare empire with “private public partnerships” running the planet via Blackwater and Haliburton and Raytheon, then I am not a “libertarian”. Might as well call me a “communist” or a “glockenspiel” given the way the media butchers words and concepts and logic.

Nor do I sympathize with “right wing economic class war” getting in a fight with “left wing economic class war” arguing over whether capital gains rates of 15% are too high (right wing) or too low (left wing) to fund the Wars on Drugs, Poverty, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, Venezuela, Illiteracy, Obesity, Global Warming. Funding $ 4,000,000,000,000 from the plutocratic entrepreneurs paying taxes, supermarket clerks paying tax, printing Federal Reserve fiat paper, or borrowing from the Chinese is wrong no matter how you slice the Gingrichian-Obamian statist bologna.

When these “libertarians” propose a 30% national sales tax on every purchase, I want to puke!

The one serious disagreement I have with Ilana is on the “tart” issue. This woman from the Super Bowl Fiat commercial is always invited to “deliver my news”:

Maybe because it has to do with the Internet, which if of course, the warm-blooded mammal replacing them.

On a different note, I thank you for this, Ilana. I too was swindled by the Judge and started getting comfortable, allowing my bullsh*t detector to go idle during Freedom Watch. This will reinvigorate it. Not to say that I’ll stop watching FW, but I’ll be much more careful when doing so now.
