You continue to reference Eustace in overtones that indicate he is a racist when I have explained to you, and he has explained to you that those are not his feelings. In so doing, you risk painting yourself with the same type of stripe you continue to cast at him...one of unfounded and unreasoned bias towards others.

I have stated my own feelings about the topic you rasie and are discussing with Eustace on several occassions on this thread.

There are people and organizations of many ilks wanting to destroy our freedom. They are all our enemies. It is not wise (IMHO) to be politically neutral (which in my mind is just another word for politically correct) when addressing them. One is not a racist for so doing. One is a racist as a result of their heart felt feelings about another race and how they act with respect to members of that race. In order to determine that, you would have to know a whole lot more about a person than what has been stated on this thread.

One last time regarding Eustace...as I said, I know him and his family personally...he is not, and they are not racist.

This thread is about the current practise of free trade and its impact on the free market. I would appreciate it, if you would like to continue the discussion regarding your impressions of Zionism and the Rothchilds with Eustace, that you both would take it to another separate thread, or take it to private Fremail.

That's just my preference at this point as the originator of the thread...at this point, that discussion is not adding to the point or intent of the thread.

Thanks and Fregards.

You are personalizing my concerns for some reason I don't understand. Eustace is an unknown quantity to me, as is Jeff. I do form my opinions based on the posts I see and the results are not so favorable And in accordance to your desire to stick to the topic, let's resume discussing Free Trade,

I prefer Von Mises' opinion about the subject (Von Mises came over to the Univ of Chicago to teach Libertarian economic theory and avoid being imprisoned and/or killed when Hitler and friends took over Austria: libertarians and socialists are not a good mix). After emigrating to the US, he began teaching and writing. Von Mises theory on government is that there are only TWO legitimate Federal roles: to prevent fraud and prevent the imposition of force. The Free Market in Von Mises view is self governing and self correcting: if a vendor sells a poor product, the market will drive this vendor out of business. And if someone sells a product produced in a questionable manner (child or slave labor or a multitude of bad practices), the market will drive that person out of business when the information is made available. I find his ideals more and more realistic these days (at first I thought Von Mises was a bit of an idealist about the nature of humans). But reading his writings during the Clinton era was a good reason at the time to see mankind as irredeemably depraved.
