The US and Israel should be reminded of Arnold Toynbee, who said, that Empires die through suicide, not murder!

It's looking like we the people need to break away from our corrupt government.

[DavidGreenwood-nudd]

The whole world needs a 4th.July to get the US off our backs.

[Leoq-zkwt]

I have never could have thought one day the great USA could be like this. Never

[georgefurman]

what you need to do is to break away from ignoring who is the root of the problem. Blaming the government is a deflection from the real enemy .

As my neighborhood turned into a battlefield for the last week, by drunken idiots blowing stuff up, who've never served a day in their life, and fought for nothing, the hypocrisy was apparent and the air was thick with irony.

What this does, is to exempt the entire executive branch, with its mass array of agencies, and goons, at its disposal, from any culpability under the law.

It’s back. The Golden Rule. Those who have the gold make the rules

[prsona]

Should put the whole supreme clowns in jail as official act

One Frenchman who was looking at an exhibit extolling the American Revolution commented: "There is a fault: insufficient guillotines."

Richard, the US Empire has been around for a lot more than 75 years!

This is what happens when people don't understand how government works and vote out of hatred and spite.

[nancicone]

Thank you for your service, sir! So grateful for you.

[OneLovePeace]

Thank you! I appreciate your genius opinions on the economy and politics and labor.

I simply don't understand how to penetrate the mind of a populace that is willfully ignorant. Most people are clueless as to what is happening to them. We are trained rats on the treadmill of consumerism and even though life is mostly painful as a result we have no real vision as a populace. I feel we are doomed to a crash of epic proportion that will produce unimaginable pain and who knows what will emerge or how long it will take to get there. We are under the influence of mass psychosis and we are not in touch with that fact. I am sixty eight years old and feel that I am fortunate not to have any children or grandchildren to suffer where we are and where we are going. What has anyone below the age of thirty ever known in this country but tolerable upheaval. We, I fear, are entering the land of intolerable upheaval. We are in deep doo doo!

[BengtNordsten]

Yet again, thank you Prof. Wolfe -- I really needed a moment to catch my breath.

HOW ABOUT WE CUT TO THE CHASE AND HEARTILY SUPPORT THE ONLY CANDIDATE NOT OWNED BY THE "DONOR" CLASS, JILL STEIN.

All anyone has to do is find out where a candidates funding is coming from to know who they actually represent.

In Australia we had an immensely popular twice elected left wing government dismissed by the Governor General using these sorts of powers because the ruling classes did not like them.

Looking forward to the book, Professor. These responses are a great way to hear your input. I always enjoy watching them, asm much as one can enjoy these topics.

Just then, mushroom clouds everywhere in America.
