They should know…..
My friend Bob in Florida sent me this link to an article in Pravda titled “The American Self Immolation, Truly a Sight to See”
The article is about how the USA is sowing the seeds of it’s own destruction with our current economic policies. The author has a particularly interesting view on of the “Cap and Trade” legislation that has passed our House and is now in the Senate. We can only hope that the Cap and Trade (or Cap and Tax as some people refer to it) dies in the Senate. Many of the pundits say that Cap and Tax doesn’t have a chance of passing the Senate. I hope so, as this bill would not only raise every citizen’s energy costs, it will add cost to every product that is produced or transported in the United States.
Back in the ’60s and ’70s I remember listening to Radio Moscow. I got interested in Amateur Radio back in the middle 60’s and built a Knight Kit shortwave radio. I had a wire antenna in the back yard and I used to love to listen to the shortwave broadcast band. One of my favorites was Radio Moscow. Why Radio Moscow? First was, they had a big signal here in the US. They were about the strongest signal on the 40 meter band. I have no idea how much transmitter power they were running, but it had to be a bunch! Second, they had a way of spinning their B.S. with such glowing terms that it made it sound almost glorious! They were the masters of the propaganda of the time and it was quite entertaining listening!
The author draws a parallel to the way that the Soviet Union destroyed itself through its “economic folly.” Well, the Russians, having been through the “socialist” phase, should recognize it coming in the United States.
Scary isn’t it?
