Gunny G’s Marines History and Traditions: The Relief Of Wake Island 1941
Gunny G’s Marines History and Traditions: The Relief Of Wake Island 1941: “Finally, as day was breaking over Makalapa, the
decision was reached. At 0811, Hawaiian time,
some two and a half hours before Wake was to
surrender, Task Force 14 was recalled.
Aboard the Astoria, Saratoga, and Tangier,
reactions varied from astonishment to shame and
anger. There were even some staff officers who
counseled Admiral Fletcher to disregard orders
and make a dash in to Wake. They did not now that
at this very moment, some four enemy heavy
cruisers (Cruiser Division 6) were patrolling
east of Wake, separated from any Japanese carrier
air support by hundreds of miles,[14] a sitting
target for the airmen of the Saratoga; nor did
they know that the Japanese attack force was
disposed about Wake with no apparent measures for
security against surface attack. Had all this
been known, the story of Wake might have been
very different.
But it was not known, and Task Force 14, which
might have relieved Wake, spent most of 23
December refueling its cruisers, and that night
retired on Midway.

It’s Time To End Hamilton’s Curse by Thomas DiLorenzo
It’s Time To End Hamilton’s Curse by Thomas DiLorenzo
It’s Time To End Hamilton’s Curse by Thomas DiLorenzo:
“What most Americans probably know about Hamilton is that he was a founding father, one of the authors of The Federalist Papers, and that his picture is on the ten-dollar bill. But he was much more than that, as the above-mentioned writers surely know.
As Jeff Taylor remarked in Where Did the Party Go? William Jennings Bryan, Hubert Humphrey, and the Jeffersonian Legacy, ‘Hamilton, under the influence of the two political theorists most distasteful to Jefferson, Hobbes and Hume, was frankly the champion of the leviathan state.’
This is why in my forthcoming book, Hamilton’s Curse, I discard Ron Chernow‘s advice about ‘repudiating the modern world’ and explain why Hamilton’s political and economic legacy must be repudiated if America is to ever again be known as the land of the free.
Hamilton’s Curse
Hamilton worshipped government power for its own sake, and sought a government that would seek ‘imperial glory’ (his words). He disrespected people like Jefferson who believed the primary purpose of government should be the protection of natural rights to life, liberty and property. He frequently complained of ‘an excessive concern for liberty in public men’ and called for a government of ‘more energy.’”

What Hamilton Has Wrought by Thomas DiLorenzo
What Hamilton Has Wrought by Thomas DiLorenzo
What Hamilton Has Wrought by Thomas DiLorenzo:
“The current economic crisis is the inevitable consequence of what I call Hamilton’s Curse in my new book of that name. It is the legacy of Alexander Hamilton and his political, economic, and constitutional philosophy.
As George Will once wrote, Americans are fond of quoting Jefferson, but we live in Hamilton’s country.
The great debate between Hamilton and Jefferson over the purpose of government, which animates American politics to this day, was very much about economic policy. Hamilton was a compulsive statist who wanted to bring the corrupt British mercantilist system — the very system the American Revolution was fought to escape from — to America.
He fought fiercely for his program of corporate welfare, protectionist tariffs, public debt, pervasive taxation, and a central bank run by politicians and their appointees out of the nation’s capital.
Jefferson and his followers opposed him every step of the way because they understood that Hamilton’s agenda was totally destructive of liberty. And unlike Hamilton, they took Adam Smith’s warnings against economic interventionism seriously.”

Digital deception & the media
Digital deception & the media
Digital deception & the media:
“Our current focus on the salacious versus the historically important is the result of a generation of illiteracy at the hands of a progressive media. Many within this generation receive their news from the intellectually deficient or the deliberately deceptive, from the likes of Jon Stewart to Stephen Colbert and beyond.
Such venues exist as pseudo-news and current event shows for the often factually and morally impaired, and frequently invite equally deficient or deceptive shills as guests to subtly mock issues of substance while pushing matters less taxing to one’s grey matter, all to the cackling delight of an enthusiastic studio audience.
Beyond those popular venues vacant of factual information, we have the actual cable and network news shows engaged in their own methods of deception through their biased depiction or omission. What is reported in these venues is agenda-driven as well. So too is what is not reported, decided at office levels far above the broadcast studios.”

I Don’t Like Ike by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
I Don’t Like Ike by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
I Don’t Like Ike by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.:
“Indeed, the entire Cold War ideology was invented by Harry Truman and his advisers in 1948 as:
1.) a political trick to keep from losing more congressional backing,
2.) a way to circumvent political pressure for postwar disarmament, and
3.) a method to maintain U.S. industrial dependence on government spending, particularly with regard to American corporations operating overseas.
It was an unprecedented form of peacetime socialism, designed to appeal to big business, and Eisenhower became its spokesman.
Savvy libertarians knew exactly what was going on and supported Cold War opponent Robert Taft for the Republican nomination in 1952.
But the nomination was effectively stolen by Eisenhower, with massive establishment backing. He repaid his backers with his support and expansion of Truman’s program.”

American’s Two-Party System is a Hoax
American‘s Two-Party System is a Hoax
American’s Two-Party System is a Hoax:
“One of my readers directed me to Dr. Samuel Blumenfeld‘s ‘Why Conservatives Need to Back the Republican Party‘. While I don’t usually comment on a fellow author’s column I thought it appropriate in this case because Blumenfeld brings up several key points that I often hear by my readers in defense of why they stay with the Republican Party.
The most common defense is that ‘third’ parties are unable to raise the money to win elections and winning elections is what politics is all about. That might be good logic for a non-Christian, but isn’t that atheistic logic? Unfortunately there is hardly a one of us who has not been adversely affected in some area of our thinking by our secular humanist culture. We are thinking too much like the world.
Just ask yourself, how often has God worked against evil on the side of the majority or on the side with the most money? Our duty is not to ‘win’ elections. Like with every other aspect of our lives, even at election time, a Christian’s main concern should be to bring glory to God – He will provide the results.”………………..

Government programs have accomplished what slavery Could not..They’ve destroyed the black family
Government programs have accomplished what slavery Could not..They’ve destroyed the black family:
“Then Walter Williams crystallized my thinking when he made the observation that government programs had accomplished what slavery could not do and what Jim Crow laws could not do… they destroyed the black family.
The numbers are stark. Williams points out that up until the 1940’s between 75 & 90 percent of all black children were being raised in two parent homes while today the number is less than 1/3.
He continued, pointing out that the illegitimacy rate amongst blacks was 18% in 1940 but ballooned to 72.5% in 2008. In a 1985 documentary he suggested that government programs, with their “good intentions” had led America’s black families into Hell.

Read This Book! by Ron Paul
Read This Book! by Ron Paul
Read This Book! by Ron Paul:
“One of the most important lessons Judge Napolitano teaches is how many shared premises there are by advocates of big government from both the right and the left. For example, Judge Napolitano exposes how both the conservatives’ war on marijuana and the liberals’ war on tobacco are manifestations of paternalism — the idea that government has the legitimate authority to stop adults from doing bad things, like smoking substances that politicians and bureaucrats do not approve of. Of course, smoking, whether of marijuana or tobacco, does have negative health consequences — but respecting the right of individuals to be wrong, as long as they do not interfere with the rights of others, is one of the pillars of a free society.
Lies the Government Told You also avoids the all-too-common error of drawing a distinction between ‘personal’ liberty and ‘economic’ liberty, and focusing on attacks on one type of freedom while ignoring or even supporting attacks on the other category of liberty.”

Would the US Military Stand Down and ‘Empower a Revolution’ If Faced With Riots and Civil Unrest? by Mac Slavo
If the United States saw similar turnouts at Federal and State government buildings, would our leadership resign without a fight as well? Are we to believe that the same logic being used to compel dictators in the middle east to step down would be applied domestically if the people, in a public show of protest, deemed our government to be tyrannical and it’s leaders dictators?
Moreover, does this mean that any such civil disobedience, riots, and gunfire would be ignored by military and law enforcement, who would be ordered to, as Mr. Gates suggested to Syria, stand on the sidelines?

The One-Party Police State of the Republicrats by Jack D. Douglas
The One-Party Police State of the Republicrats by Jack D. Douglas:
“I think they are completely right that they can only retain total power in the U.S. IF they repress all real, serious challenges of Real Reformers from outside and inside the Party.
But what they apparently do not realize is that by creating a vast one party state that is steadily building a totalitarian police state with vast armies of secret police from the NSA to the CIA and DEA and on and on [sixteen visible secret police armies in the U.S.], they are dooming themselves and the u.s. to closure which prevents any effective reforms to adapt to the rapidly changing world situations, so they have doomed the party and the u.s. to implosion very much as the Soviet party rulers doomed themselves to implosion in the same way.”

Comic Chris Titus hints at assassinating Palin ‘if she gets elected president’:
“Sometimes there is a line that is crossed between what appropriate for comedy and what’s likely off limits. But did comic Christopher Titus cross that line?
In an appearance on Monday’s “The Adam Carolla Show” podcast, Titus may have waded into that territory. In responding to a question about former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s appearance on “Fox News Sunday,” in which Palin defended her interpretation of what happened during Paul Revere’s pre-Revolutionary War famous ride, Titus launched into a description of what he would do if Palin were elected.
“You know what man?” Titus said. “I am going to literally — if she gets elected president, I am going to hang out on the grassy knoll all the time, just loaded and ready — because you know what? It’s for my country. It’s for my country. If I got to sacrifice myself, it’s for my country.”

Will Washington Foment War Between China and India? by Paul Craig Roberts
Will Washington Foment War Between China and India? by Paul Craig Roberts
Will Washington Foment War Between China and India? by Paul Craig Roberts:
“What is Washington’s solution for the rising power of China?
The answer might be to involve China in a nuclear war with India.
The staging of the fake death of bin Laden in a commando raid that violated Pakistan’s sovereignty was sold to President Obama by the military/security complex as a way to boost Obama’s standing in the polls.
The raid succeeded in raising Obama’s approval ratings. But its real purpose was to target Pakistan and to show Pakistan that the US was contemplating invading Pakistan in order to make Pakistan pay for allegedly hiding bin Laden next door to Pakistan’s military academy. The neocon, and increasingly the US military position, is that the Taliban can’t be conquered unless NATO widens the war theater to Pakistan, where the Taliban allegedly has sanctuaries protected by the Pakistan government, which takes American money but doesn’t do Washington’s bidding.”

Constitution Worship Revisited: I’m Still Fed Up!
by Gary D. Barnett
Recently by Gary D. Barnett: Osama bin Laden Causes Yet Another War? After He’s Dead?
Last year I wrote an article titled “I’m Fed Up With Constitution Worship!” Since that time it seems, I hear more and more every day about “getting back to the constitution,” mainly from “conservatives” and those of the Tea Party persuasion.
I always wonder not only have any of these people ever read and studied the constitution, but also do they even understand why it was secretly drafted in the first place? All indications show that they aren’t at all familiar with the enabling power of that document to create a strong central governing system that reduced severely the sovereignty of the states.
I have this contrarian view not because I am cynical or pessimistic, but because”……………..

Chicago Red Dragon Six-Day Warning | Veterans Today:
“Mass casualties will be triaged and mass deaths buried in the Red Dragon disaster drills Wednesday through Friday. This report affirms my Friday article, Chicago Aon Center Alert, and requires a six-day warning, effective Monday, 6/6/11, through Saturday, 6/11/11.
New Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel has a reputation as a man-eater who is half Machiavelli and half Mephistopheles. His father was a member of the Israeli Irgun terror organization that blew up Jerusalem’s King David Hotel on July 22, 1946, killing 92, King David Day is still celebrated in Israel.”

The Real DiLorenzo: A ‘Southern Partisan’ Interview:
“What do you think will happen?
It seems to me that the American public has been dumbed down so much by the government schools that they’re just going to go along with this until it either bankrupts us all or we make enough enemies out there that September 11 will seem like child’s play. You can’t do this without making a lot of enemies in the world. That’s my biggest fear — that we won’t get rid of these Sons of Lincoln who run the Republican Party.
I agree with Clyde Wilson that America can’t be saved or returned to its roots until the Republican Party is destroyed.”
