Economics in One Lesson is a magnificent rebuttal of popular economic fallacies deeply embedded in the political discourse of his time. By means of a very accessible language aimed at the general public, Hazlitt discusses, dissects, and debunks 22 economic sophisms like the idea that technological advances destroy employment or the myth that price ceilings are beneficial for consumers.

Bill Gates vs. freedom By Jon Rappoport “Under the surface of this global civilization, a great and secret war is taking place. The two opponents hold different conceptions of Reality. On one side, those who claim that humans operate purely on the basis of stimulus-response, like machines; on the other side, those who believe there…

Too many in the GOP have become globalist shills. Then you add that voting power with the globalist Democrats, we run the danger of getting more of the same, which is exactly what we don’t need. Trump and Pat are both correct in their thinking.
