MUST SEE: LEW ROCKWELL ON EVERYTHING
By Pete Moore On June 17th, 2012This is worth anyone’s time. Lew Rockwell, Chairman of the Ludwig von Mises Institute and one of today’s most compelling commentators, joins Alex Jones, where he confirms that Ron Paul will not be endorsing Romney. The conversation goes well beyond that, however. By the time they finish, Rockwell has has explained much of what is going on in the world, the nature of politicians, what government is and bankster economics. This is great stuff. Find the time to watch, start it up at 3:20 and 40 minutes later you’ll view the world a little differently.
I prefer Norman Rockwell.
I actually will take a look at this…but anyone who associates with Alex Jones has lost all credibility from the get go.
And the lack of an endorsement from Paul wont hurt Romney and could possibly help him. Mr Paul is not that important – he has enthusiastic supporters but a lot of prople can’t stand him
“Take your cash out of the banks, they hate that”.
I certainly agree him there. The “bankocracy” as he calls it, is using saver’s money while giving them nothing in return, and here in the UK we’ve cottoned-on to it already as the FSA estimates that about £7 billion in cash is kept in peoples’ homes, and in precious metals.
Savers outnumber borrowers by 8:1, and should the firestorm currently sweeping across Europe spook the population sufficiently, there will be a run on the banks like never before.
Roll on that day.
Lew Rockwell is the most likely author of the Ron Paul newsletters that caused so much controversy.
“The typical American feels that we can kill everybody all over the world”.
I don’t know how typical Troll is although he’s probably not untypical, but he did write words to that effect.
Thanks for that video upload, Pete.
Actually, I have to say that I found LR’s interview slightly boring (perhaps because I’ve already examined the fundamentals of Ron Paul’s arguments, and, agreeing with them, LR tells me nothing much that was new to me).
However, towards the end of the interview, Rockwell cites a book and recommends it to his audience: Murray Rothbard’s “The Mystery of Banking”.
Although I think that I understand some of the fundamentals of what banking is supposed to be all about, I knew that I still needed some further educating in this matter, so, cue a quick trip over to search-ebooks.eu, key in the search-term “mystery of banking”, locate a pdf of this book and download it… I’ve read the first two chapters in ten minutes, and, thanks to my having already read Schiff’s “How an economy grows and why it crashes”, I’ve had no problem understanding the first two chapters, as I’ve already digested Schiff’s excellent basic grounding in sound economics.
This is good, sound reading matter. Read Schiff first, because he really does cut economics right down to basics, and then read Rothbard.

Tom – all economics and finance as instructed in our universities and schools are fundamentally wrong, and deliberately so. What would happen to the system if everybody who had the wit to do so understood where money came from and who create/control it?
Yes, but you and Pete understand it so much better than the stupid professors and captains of industry.
Can you please share with us all your magnificent accomplishments in the world of business and economics so we can stand agape in wonder.
Tom Tyler -
It’s a great book. After reading it you’ll understand banking and money more than almost anyone. Not only was Murray Rothbard America’s greatest economist, he was a prolific historian and commentator too who left an enormous amount of work. I found him about 15 years ago and I’ve barely touched his output.
Well Phantom, I’ve been telling you for four years that there’s no recovery and why. So far I’m right and the economic PhDs are wrong.
I would ask you to share with us the magnificent accomplishments of the economic establishment, but there’s no need. They’ve been headline news for years now.
Actually, there has been a recovery in the US. A most unsatisfactory one, a jobless one, but one that’s a lot better than we see in Europe. And miles better than the collapse / depression that some here thought would be a ” necessary correction ”
And though you’ve been quiet about this recently, and rightly so, you had been predicting hyperinflation due to the expansion of the money supply. And that hasn’t happened. There’s no inflation problem in the US or in Europe.
The economic establishment in the US and Europe took decisive steps which avoided a depression by a hair. All here owe them a debt of gratitude.

“Actually, there has been a recovery in the US. A most unsatisfactory one, a jobless one, but one that’s a lot better than we see in Europe.”
Yes, that was the illusory recovery I told you about six months before it happened, while the economic PhDs were predicting a double-dip recession. I told you it would happen and I told you why (Bernanke’s increase in the money supply).
Chalk another one up to me pal.
Here’s something else you need to know: you’re screwed.
There was no real recovery, it was just another sugar rush of Federal Reserve Notes. The truth is your economy is in a worse shape now than in September 2008, your government is in much greater debt than then, your liabilities are much greater, and the federal state is more dependent than ever on borrowed debt.
The next real correction will make the last few years look like economic heaven.
I recall you saying that Larry Kudlow predicted a double dip, when in fact he had not
Phantom -
I don’t recall mentioning Kudlow. I may have done in passing, but he’s a dreary establishment man with nothing interesting to say, so I wouldn;t make a song and dance over him. My point is that many commentators predicted a double-dip recession for 2011. That was never going to happen with Bernanke increasing the money supply so much through the year.
You mentioned Kudlow, highlighting his prediction that growth would be 4 per cent this years. Well it’s nothing like that.
Yes, I do understand it better than they do. After all, the world’s economy is teetering on the brink of collapse and these stupid professors and captains of industry with their idiocy and criminality brought it about.
Great link Pete.
One thing is clear. Whoever wins in November will pursue the neo-con wars started by Dubya. And they will be cheered on by the usual suspects.
