Lets stay off GOLD hoarding discussion and stay on topic. I guess you forget that you and el mat were convinced I was brian H and he kick me off that thread after I continuosly told el mat I was not, so I have no interest in going back on the thread of a closed minded person that acts with such haste and knee-jerk reaction to a wrong belief. We have enough tyranny as it is. I believe he thought he saw something more than that someone had just lost thier cookie that save thier password. <<Chalmers Johnson interview about his new book Nemesis. What do you think of his ideas on keynesian militarism?>> ... know nothing about him. He shares many of the economic views of the people on epic credit and bond bubble but I am most interested in his ideas on keynesian militarism. I will post a little info about him for people that know nothing about him - interestingly given his background and ties to asia I thought you would be far more educated about him. I must confess being the 5th grader that I am I only recently have been reading anything about the guy myself. americanempireproject.com Chalmers Johnson is president of the Japan Policy Research Institute, a non-profit research and public affairs organization devoted to public education concerning Japan and international relations in the Pacific. He taught for thirty years, 1962-1992, at the Berkeley and San Diego campuses of the University of California and held endowed chairs in Asian politics at both of them. At Berkeley he served as chairman of the Center for Chinese Studies and as chairman of the Department of Political Science. His B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees in economics and political science are all from the University of California, Berkeley. He first visited Japan in 1953 as a U.S. Navy officer and has lived and worked there with his wife, the anthropologist Sheila K. Johnson, virtually every year since 1961. Chalmers Johnson has been honored with fellowships from the Ford Foundation, the Social Science Research Council, and the Guggenheim Foundation; and in 1976 he was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He has written numerous articles and reviews and some fifteen books, including Peasant Nationalism and Communist Power on the Chinese revolution, An Instance of Treason on Japan's most famous spy, Revolutionary Change on the theory of violent protest movements, and MITI and the Japanese Miracle on Japanese economic development. This last-named book laid the foundation for the "revisionist" school of writers on Japan, and because of it the Japanese press dubbed him the "Godfather of revisionism." He was chairman of the academic advisory committee for the PBS television series "The Pacific Century," and he played a prominent role in the PBS "Frontline" documentary "Losing the War with Japan." Both won Emmy awards. His most recent books are, as editor and contributor, Okinawa: Cold War Island (Cardiff, Calif.: Japan Policy Research Institute, 1999); and Blowback: The Costs and Consequences of American Empire (New York: Holt Metropolitan Books, 2000). The latter won the 2001 American Book Award of the Before Columbus Foundation. His new book, The Sorrows of Empire: Militarism, Secrecy, and the End of the Republic will be published by Metropolitan in January 2004. He claims he was the only person to ever resign from the council on foreign relations. ... nothing as violent as "300", but great big expensive tanks that crushes cheap taxis, but getting blown up, by a few hundred dead-enders, with the expensive vehicles financed by horrible taxes on your wonderful orange trees. Chalmers said in the interview it is disgraceful that 150K american troops with the latest high tech weaponry and secret military budgets is fought to a standstill by 20K insurgents in iraq with home made bombs - you should really read more about this guy - its like you 2 are twins. He even shares your gold meme and believes the US dollar will not be even good toilet paper very soon. ... I may have failed to make progress with thoughts on gold, but gold has made progress since we discussed last. I could have sworn the last time we discussed it was mid 600's, I know when it spiked to 670's last year Russ - our gracious host - said he sold his physical gold, do you know if he has purchased any back? Certainly he would not keep his wealth in ever inflating clownbucks, so what other assets did he exchange his physical gold for?
