Yes, and little bit more interesting than ZeroHedge. But if you want affirmation that the world is ending at noon today, ZH and InfoWars is the way to go.

I think a positive for Alex Jones is he was willing to be that person who went against the grain, take all the fallout that comes with doing that and provoke a lot of people to not just accept everything at face value. If his model was "Everything is what it seems", he would be no different to MSM, CNN ( Catastrophic News Neuropathy). Some question his motives and say he has done well out it but then again so have years of MSM. I say everyone has to earn a crust. Again I think most people use his outlet to hear what is in contention then research further themselves. Admittedly there will be the same type of people that accept everything CNN has to offer who do the same with him. So for me his model does make sense from a business and ethical standpoint.
When successive Governments have been found out in cover ups and skulduggery is it really any wonder how guys like him are thriving ? It is only natural to have gross mistrust when you find something you have believed in to be an absolute lie. I think the small guy searching for truth is a lonely and dangerous business and in most cases are a great public service. Most people are so wrapped up with keeping a roof over their heads they just haven't had the time nor the ability in the past to research, so the Government controlled MSM have run amok and generally abused such a trusted position. The amount of people who have stumbled upon information or witness things they shouldn't have, that have "accidents" is well documented and what were once deemed conspiracy theories but actually been proven to be the real truth are plentiful in number. So now the tool of choice is just say it's all a conspiracy take no notice, which is very convenient and so easy to do in fact can you see how alike it is to labeling people who have concerns over Islamic immigration as all being racist ? It is one and the same thing and anyone with a modicum of common sense understands that. Again the case for NWO abounds us. The most evident being the relentless push for open borders.

jmn,

I try to stay away from these type of things around here, and you seem a reasonable fellow, but you can not be a classical liberal or a progressive, you are either, they have nothing in common any more. I see you referred to yourself as a classical liberal before and not a liberal thus the point, they are on opposite ends of political spectrum now.

People can look at the UK in disbelief at how we are so tolerant, to the point that they think we are just plain stupid, but the reality is, we are probably the only western country which hasn't had a terrorist attack in recent times. Now, I would guess the biggest prize of all for ISIS would be to blow up Canary Wharf as well as other parts of the square mile. The fact that they haven't is no co-incidence. We're not as dumb as we seem.

Or maybe the terrorists are smart enough to not want war with the West again. An attack on the UK of that scale would be suicidal. We would treat them like Nazi Germany and destroy their collective infrastructure entirely. With no western money to rebuild them it would take decades to recover.

Since 7/7/2005 when London had a number of terrorist attacks in the space of a day, our intelligence units have ensured they are always at least a step ahead. I can assure you, it is not for want of trying by ISIS.

You can get shot for saying or asking the wrong thing. Charlie Hebdo Jan 2015.

Mr. Scott!

Yes, I call myself a liberal because there are a lot of us who do not shy away from the term. Our Founders were all liberals. Well except for a couple of them. It is liberalism that created the West. The line gets drawn when you become illiberal. Some sects of Islam, and Christianity, and Judaism fit that bill. Live and let live.

Classical liberals are nothing like liberals of today.
Classical liberals are generally considered to be conservative nowadays and therefore 'Right' on the political spectrum.

Take equality. Classical liberals believe in equality under the law, and equality of opportunity. According to them inequality is anyone who does not have the same rights under the law as others. Liberals today have expanded the definition of equality to include any difference between people, focusing on earnings and wealth differences often without any regard for differences in behaviour

Take personal responsibility as an offshoot of equality. Classical liberals believe in self sufficiency and the right of a person to work for their own betterment and to accrue wealth for themselves. Liberals of today however believe that the failure of a person to become wealthy, or the very fact wealth disparity exists at all, is a largely a result of a flawed system rather than an individuals behaviour.

Take the role of government as an offshoot of personal responsibility. Classical liberals believe in small government and allowing individuals to live freely, provided they allow others to do the same. Since they believe the ability of a person to prosper is largely persons individual own responsibility, they also believe that government should try to stay out of their lives. Liberals believing that differences in earnings and wealth is a product of a flawed system, believe that by correcting that flawed system through more and 'better' government they can cure inequality. Therefore they believe in large government with entitlement programs and redistribution of wealth etc.

I don't agree 100% with Scott that being a Classical Liberal means you must be one side or another on all issues, but generally he is correct.
A Classical Liberal is a conservative with a focus on liberty, whereas the Liberal of today is essentially a mini socialist.
The Classical Liberal believes man is flawed. The Liberal of today believes the system is flawed.

Classical liberals believe in equality under the law, and equality of opportunity - inequality is a person who does not have the same rights as anyone else... Liberals today however have a different take on equality, they view inequality as simply differences between one person or another, in terms of jobs or wealth, without any regard for the persons...
Verv I did not know you had me on ignore until you took me off of ignore. Don't ignore me bro!( Spoof of don't tase me bro!)
Okay so I am a classical liberal. Always have been, always will be. I have written too many tax checks to be otherwise. Half of our nation does not pay any taxes. I am on the wrong side of that.

Edit: Do not call me a conservative.

Edit: Your post is well made. The liberals of today are socialists, they are not liberals. This is why stay with my title. I am a liberal. But I am not a conservative. I do not buy that one culture is superior to another. Equality of opportunity is what made us who we are here in the States. Equality of outcome is impossible. It has never worked, and it never will work. Why work hard if everyone will get the same thing?

Here in the States there is big anxiety trying to explain Trump to our kids. I was wondering what you guys thought about this video. It really is about the economy for all of us. I have shown this to my kids, and my grand kids. They say, who is Trump. I tell them Trump is F A Hayek. Believe or not, they do not teach this econ in high school. It is a bit much for my grand kids. But my kids not understand why Hillary lost. Americans understood this without the technical stuff.

I personally don't see the reason for the big anxiety. I'm not trying to be smart arse either but would definitely have trouble explaining Hilary and that isn't a left/right argument. Without repeating my opinion here https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=9549710#post9549710
Perhaps it's best to say you can't be sure but the new President is going to run the country with a fresh perspective and as good citizens we should now allow him the opportunity to prove his mettle. Capitalism is required to pay for elements of socialism. Extreme capitalism/domination is plain ugly, free loading is plain ugly. On a personal level I don't have an issue with my taxes assisting a section of society that due to circumstances beyond their control need a leg up. I do however object to assisting freeloaders. Now obviously there has to be greater detail for both extremes there but that would take forever. What label that puts on me I don't know.
As ever George has a funny way of saying something similar almost !
