"It is ever more widely known that statism does not and cannot work. Statism is the great lie. " (Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr) Jim C's comment: Mr. Rockwell does a fine job of critiquing Fascism -- something which ought to be done, as much as the critiquing of Socialism whether under Stalin or Obama. Mr. Rockwell says: "In the end, this is the choice we face: the total State or total freedom. Which will we choose?" Total freedom? What does he really mean?

Finally, the interview took place in the month of July, 2013."

RTAmerica on Feb 17, 2012 On Thursday, the House Subcommittee on Capital Markets and Government-Sponsored Enterprises passed a bill that severely weakens protection for whistleblowers. The bill requires the whistleblower to confront the company in question first before going to a regulatory agency.
