All,I've nailed Pericles to the cross of truth so often in the last 2 yrs,that now he actually believes he can walk on water.

Last yr Pericles tried to pervey the illusion of the US Fed was actually owned and controlled by the US Govt.The Fed has Govt members on it's board but is wholly owned by private interests.

What this cabal of facist elites do not realise,is that their greed and power lust is actually limiting all human potential on this planet thus creating misery and destitution rather than raising the human consciousness to higher levels.

The problems of world population,energy,pollution can be solved by prosperity,rather than their scortched earth policies of economic austerity. The Greens have been bought out by the very corporate devils who seek to enslave us.

Ah yes, Arjay, I feel those scars every time I read yet another of your scintillating, but completely inaccurate, assessments of fiscal policy.

>>All,I've nailed Pericles to the cross of truth so often in the last 2 yrs,that now he actually believes he can walk on water.<<

But I cannot let you get away with this calumny.

>>Last yr Pericles tried to pervey the illusion of the US Fed was actually owned and controlled by the US Govt.<<

I did no such thing.

Check your records, Arjay (I'm sure you keep details of all our exchanges as proof of how clever you are), because this one is straight out of your imagination.

Occasionally, though, you do strike a glinting nugget of reality amongst the dull dross of conspiracy-speak...

>>The problems of world population,energy,pollution can be solved by prosperity<<

Ain't that the truth.

Sadly, you have no more idea of how to bring this about - or even how complex and difficult a task it is going to be - than the jam doughnut I am about to have with my coffee.

Yum.

Sugary, jammy, doughy perfection.

But not a single atom of economic insight.

The political conspiracy theory is always trotted out when their nerves get tickled by some home truths Arjay; and the fact is that Economics is very easy to know and realise if you actually realise the Factual attributes both in History and in Human Action; and realise the utter fabrications so mastered to benefit those who have most to gain at the expense of others; The simple solution is easy, Get rid of The Plundering thief’s called Government and all of their Marauding minions. Problem solved.

I assume that Pericles has heard of the Kato files of the Seventeenth century? After all, he is a Pom; and again, once more we go. We can now realise what people do when they are tired of being robbed and oppressed by the plunderers, wether a Democratic plunderer – Feudal or Pan theological Plunderer, The same outcome is always achieved.

Just as it was then with the Plundering by the self appointed Authorities and mates, as it is now with Witchdoctor Authority and their minions and mates. But much worse than ever seen in all of History as a whole , and on a Global scale.

It is likened to being hit with a sledge hammer when you come to realise the truth Arjay.

That's interesting, All-

>>I assume that Pericles has heard of the Kato files of the Seventeenth century?<<

Indeed I haven't.

I do know that of a Kato who was the Green Hornet's assistant, once played by Bruce Lee.

But the "Kato Files"?

I've come up empty on that one.

>>It is likened to being hit with a sledge hammer when you come to realise the truth Arjay.<<

D'you know, All-, that explains a great deal. Being hit with a sledgehammer can do strange things to your thought processes, I've heard.

But do tell. Where do I find the Kato files?

I love seventeenth century intrigue.

Ah.

>>I assume that Pericles has heard of the Kato files of the Seventeenth century?<<

So, it turns out to be Cato, not Kato.

Letters, not Files.

And the eighteenth, not the seventeenth century.

Thank you All-, a modicum of accuracy is always a help.

"These articles, written under the name "Cato," were the work of John Trenchard and Thomas Gordon, a pair of uppity English Whigs"

http://classicliberal.tripod.com/cato/

"The Whig tendency supported the great aristocratic families, the Protestant Hanoverian succession and toleration for nonconformist Protestants", says Wikipedia.

So, "a pair of uppity English Whigs" float your boat, do they? How interesting.

What remains a mystery is what relevance they have to... well, anything outside the first half of the eighteenth century, really.

Although they are fun to read. Here's my favourite soundbite, so far, right at the start of Volume II.

"The Papacy... is a Fairy Dominion, founded upon Non-Entities, Inventions and Abominations; supported by Lies and Terrors; exercised with Cruelty, Craft and Rapine; and producing Meanness, Delusion and Poverty, where-ever it prevails"

Wow. Not much to argue with there, I guess. But it was a surprise to find one of runner's ancestors being so active back in those days too.

But quite how they came to be the patron saints of the Mises Institute is pretty obscure. Do you have any references that illustrate this, All-?

Or do you just blindly accept anything that the Austrian School tells you, much like Arjay does?
