      If the United States really wanted to end violence around the world, it would stop supporting Radial Judaism.

      The United States has been funding, arming, and legally protecting Radial Judaism since their terrorist uprising against the British Mandate of Palestine.

      The United States Government even covered up their attack on the United States in 1967.

      Why doesn’t the United States Supreme Court speak out about these violations of the US Constitution?

      The Dallek interview ends with a look at today and tomorrow NOT back to the days of the Cold War and whether it should have been avoided by astute diplomacy. I see such emphasis on today and tomorrow as a practical necessity.

      Is today facing Islamo-Fascism or Israeli incompetence?

      Is the global economy destined to become more of an authoritarian or corporate-corrupted capitalism along lines already drawn ? -- or

      Is it possible to invent economic democracy wherein super-rich investors (individual and corporate) pay no taxes if their investments are in the national and public interest and redistribution of income to raise the minimum standard of living is based on debt-free, tax-free investment of the type Ben Bernanke makes via QUANTITATIVE EASING?

      Rose and Dallek did not mention QE as a source of money for economic democracy. They assumed we need taxes against the wishes of some taxpayers. I do not like that assumption. We are living with it -- and misery prevails from the middle class down to society's hapless victims.

      Charlie wonders about China as a new USSR cold war substitute. Dallek does not. Neither do I.

      In my view, China has a right to Taiwan and dominance in the Oceans near its land. We ought to partner with them and make the world safe from terrorists and pirates.

      Meanwhile, Buffet and Gates want import certificates to trim the trade deficit and mild taxes to trim the budget deficit.

      They have all the money it takes to sell their positions -- but they can't.

      I want the automation revolution and QE to raise the minimum standard of living as high as possible. I have no money to sell the idea. If it becomes the solution, it will have been a certain inevitability -- not the result of my brains.

      Nevertheless, if Charlie wants my brain scan for his next series on brain science -- it's his for the asking. The ideas he presented on economics and brain science were useless.

      The Audacious Amateur "has not happened." Wow! Friends I talk to think Obama "is over." And they voted for him. The rest of the country has its say soon. I can't wait. And then there is that river Obama is approaching, not the Rubicon, the one in Afganistan...

      I am not sure Stalin wasn't right about us. After all he had lots of spies. He knew what Churchill thought about it. Besides, the Warsaw Pact was directed primarily against Germany. While I do agree about the arms race, that proves the point about Stalin's views, because both domestic parties resurrected the Red Scare and ignored the intelligence. So we felt we had to have nuclear missiles to balance their ground forces.

      I am not sure a vision for the future is not the same as a verdict on the past, esp when we seem to oscillate between only two views of them. Obama does radio chats, as have presidents for some time. The problem is no one listens to the radio.

      And I am not sure the gentlemen mentioned were all that smart. The worst ppl get elected, I suspect, because they are the ones with the egos to run for office. FDR was certainly considered one such, as Prof Dallek, who has written wrote voluminously about him, knows. And I suspect the main reason ppl don't bother to vote is because they well aware of it.
