United States Congressional Record January 19, 1976, page 240 Marjorie S. Holt (Maryland): “Mr. Speaker, many of us recently received a letter from the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia, inviting members of Congress to participate in a ceremonial signing of “A Declaration of INTERdependence” on January 30 in Congress Hall, adjacent to Independence Hall in Philadelphia. A number of Members of Congress have been invited to sign this document, lending their prestige to its theme, but I want the record to show my strong opposition to this declaration. It calls for the surrender of our national sovereignty to international organizations. It declares that our economy should be regulated by international authorities.

Thanks. I know it is a lot to read and digest especially in the context of Rand and the Money Speech, but it brings great new context and meaning to her writings. I've been waiting for this thread and the longer I waited, the more FReepers added to my understanding of what I thought I understood.

This quote this evening, extracted from the original post I found profound. As it is not fictional, but clearly demonstrates how far we have come down the wrong path. The very things we rejected in 1976, we signed onto this week in Europe.

The idea this time that they need not confiscate our gold or silver to take our wealth this time. They only need to create inflation and look what they have been doing in the trillions the last few weeks.

Yes, read the Money Speech, but alas it comes much too late too save us now.

I will check out Sinclair and Murphy...like I said I've learned so very much from my fellow FReepers.

What magnificent posts to add to Publius' excellent synopsis.

Thank you all. You make quite a trio, gentlemen. Or should I say quite a Triumvirate.
