A bit more about Simon Black:
I am not a financial journalist, an attorney, or an investment adviser– I am an international entrepreneur and investor; I travel the globe on the lookout for personal and economic opportunities to enrich my life… sometimes this means a great investment, an exciting business venture, beautiful places, or new relationships.
I value independence and freedom above all else.
I am a permanent traveler. This means that I have no home, and I am free to move about the world at my discretion. Furthermore, I believe that my capability to make money is not constrained by my geography. It’s not 1984 anymore.
Simon Black is not my real name… I go by an alias because I value privacy and discretion– there’s not enough left of it in the world today. If you’re curious about me, just ask… there are plenty of famous names out there who will vouch for me, and a handful of fraudsters who won’t.
I look forward to having an ongoing discussion with you.
I remember the night before the invasion of Iraq in 2003 so clearly: as all the forces were huddled at the border in Kuwait waiting to advance, I couldn’t stop thinking about the people on both sides who were about to die because George W. Bush had something to prove.

Recall Kerry’s “seared” Viet Nam brain. Both him and this guy full of of the same Communist Shinola!
When we went into Iraq, the whole world was with us because Iraq had WMDs. Sure, by the time we got everyone’s approval and dotted all the i’s and crossed all the Ts, the WMDs were in Syria where the Israelis had to go and destroy them by air, but that’s another story...
Nice how this guy who was “at West Point” (at Martin Mars’ original job one might believe?) parrots the anti war/anti military liberal line almost word for word. Those folks don’t think any war is legitimate, save maybe WW-II, since in that one we were allied with the darling of the left, Joe Stalin.
What? No ‘military industrial complex’ financed by the Masons and run by a shadow government since 1790? I’m quite disappointed.
Well, no.
Offhand, I don't know anyone who claims it is.
But without properly applied destructive capacity you won't have freedom for very long.
Whether we've always applied it properly is an entirely appropriate question to discuss.
It seems entirely likely that if nobody had resisted Communist expansion in the postwar years, however unwisely or ineptly at times, they would have taken over the world, and there goes all freedom.
