Happy New Year to the good Dr. Coleman. My question is: will the UK fall via a depression or to the bloody hands of their Muslim invaders? At least, a depression may be survivable. A fall to the barbarian MidEasterners less so. A little late now, the people of UK should been more concerned with changes occurring around them than if they'd still be able to amble down the road to the local pub for a pint or two or three about 5 years ago. There is little possibility of stopping either of the two grim events now. We, in the good ol' USA, still have some potential to stop the depression (less so) or the Muslim takeover. The big question is will we avail ourselves to the potential possibilities to salvage this once great Republic or will we sit with our heads immersed in those "smart" phones until we slide into the abyss of eternal darkness? Time is running quickly, so if we're going to act, now is the time.
“The fact that it has taken ‘mainstream’ neoclassical economists so long to recognize [that FDR’s policies exacerbated the disaster],” notes DiLorenzo, “is truly astounding,” but still “better late than never.”
Part of the Great FDR Myth is the notion that he won the presidency in 1932 with a mandate for central planning. My own essay on this period lINK (“Great Myths of the Great Depression”) argued otherwise, based on the very platform and promises on which FDR ran. But until a few months ago I was unaware of a long-forgotten book that makes the case as well as any.
Hell Bent for Election was written by James P. Warburg, a banker who witnessed the 1932 election and the first two years of Roosevelt’s first term from the inside. Warburg, the son of prominent financier and Federal Reserve cofounder Paul Warburg, was no less than a high-level financial adviser to FDR himself. Disillusioned with the President, he left the administration in 1934 and wrote his book a year later.
Warburg voted for the man who said this on March 2, 1930, as governor of New York:
The doctrine of regulation and legislation by “master minds,” in whose judgment and will all the people may gladly and quietly acquiesce, has been too glaringly apparent at Washington during these last ten years. Were it possible to find “master minds” so unselfish, so willing to decide unhesitatingly against their own personal interests or private prejudices, men almost godlike in their ability to hold the scales of justice with an even hand, such a government might be to the interests of the country; but there are none such on our political horizon, and we cannot expect a complete reversal of all the teachings of history.
What Warburg and the country actually elected in 1932 was a man whose subsequent performance looks little like the platform and promises on which he ran and a lot like those of that year’s Socialist Party candidate, Norman Thomas.
t was socialist Norman Thomas, not Franklin Roosevelt, who proposed massive increases in federal spending and deficits and sweeping interventions into the private economy—and he barely mustered 2 percent of the vote. When the dust settled, Warburg shows, we got what Thomas promised, more of what Hoover had been lambasted for, and almost nothing that FDR himself had pledged. FDR employed more “master minds” to plan the economy than perhaps all previous presidents combined.
After detailing the promises and the duplicity, Warburg offered this assessment of the man who betrayed him and the country:
Elusive1 has gotten it figured out, the worldwide activity, at least till we can be replaced by robots, then killing field and gulags, sparing only a few blonde male and female virgin children for the Elites fun and pleasure.
Thank you, Elusive1, and thank you Sharon and Brandon for your input as well.

Impoverish them, easier to control by govt. Many will be at their mercy, won’t they?
Exactly correct, precisely correct, and sicken them, to complete the circle.
