“It’s just a ride and we can change it any time we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money, a choice, right now, between fear and love.” ~Bill Hicks
Ron Paul blames current crisis on Debt and the easy money policy of the Federal Reserve. Says that Bernankes understanding of the Great Depression is the opposite of what really happened. He says that we got out of the Great Depression because the government lowered spending and taxes, not because of FDR or the war. Paul says that free markets makes America great, not the getting in debt philosophy of Keynesian Economics. Video is from 3/25/09
RICHMOND, Va. – A team of scientists is looking into what could have caused bright lights in the sky that prompted hundreds of calls to the National Weather Service and emergency officials.
Callers from Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina described brilliant, streaking lights followed by an explosion-like sound around 9:45 p.m. Sunday.
Virginia residents from Hampton Roads to Richmond reported seeing “great balls of fire” lighting up the sky in shades of yellow, white orange and blue. Some described the explosion as sounding like thunder.
Several calls came to Richmond International Airport, but spokesman Troy Bell said tower workers did not see anything unusual.
What kind of man was Ludwig von Mises? As this unique film shows, Mises (1881-1973) was a man who never stopped fighting for freedom: not when the Nazis burned his books, not when the Left blackballed him at universities, not when it seemed as if statism had won. With courage and genius, he fought big government until the day he died … in 25 books, hundreds of articles, and more than 60 years of teaching. Mises’s battles against Communists, Nazis, and other socialists, are featured in this film, as are his ideas of Liberty. There is also the old Vienna he loved, the Bolshevik prime minister he dissuaded from Communism, and a cast of villains from Lenin to Hitler, as well as such supporters and students as Murray Rothbard, Ron Paul, Bettina Greaves, M. Stanton Evans, Mary Peterson, Joseph Sobran, and Yuri Maltsev. Among his many accomplishments, Mises showed that socialism had to fail, that central banking causes recessions and depressions, that the gold standard is honest money, and that only laissez-faire capitalism is fully compatible with Western civilization. Mises was the twentieth century’s foremost economist, and one of its most important champions of Liberty. Here is a film that does justice to this extraordinary man, and to his equally extraordinary ideas.
I wrote my senior thesis in college on this film. I’ve watched it more than any other film in my life, which counts well over fifty times if i were to estimate..worth it everytime. There’s a lot of depth to it if you’re willing to keep an open mind and look for symbolism. The remake butchered the original message, like most remakes. I think the remake is garbage, and so are running zombies.
