I like Adam Kokesh (what I know of him anyway) but I think he is wasting his time with a government lover.

Webster Tarpley says you have to go to college to learn new languages?
No, you don't have to go to college to learn a new language. People have been learning each other's tongues for thousand of years before colleges were invented. You can learn to order a hamburger in Hamburg using a phrase book or by signing up at a language school. You can go the hard knocks way and just go live in a place and get it the natural way.
But if you're doing more than just traveling, if you're doing business or engineering or medicine, you gotta have your ducks in a row. You have to do some serious study in a structured environment. You want teachers that are steeped in German or Portuguese, or Arab culture. You might need specialized classes where you will learn how to write a report or negotiate some business.
Colleges and high schools screwed up language learning for years with bad methods just like they screwed up math instruction and a whole lot of other stuff. I can't say that I have much respect for the American system of education as it has developed over the last 60 years. However, if you really want to use a foreign language, like we're using it now for instance to discuss these kinds of issues, you won't get it off a CD or at Berlitz. You have to commit yourself to a well thought out program and do some serious study.

There is a lot to be said for this indictment of the Ron Paul movement. It's raised a lot of bucks, but in the last analysis it has not even earned a place at the table commensurate with its numbers. In fact, it hasn't earned a place at the table at all.
I'm afraid that what he says about RP is true in many ways. As Cyni says, all the energies put forth by Paul supporters in the end have only benefited Romney and gone to earn Rand a seat in the very councils where those vultures sit whom we all despise.

Should this prove to be the case, as it looks more and more likely; then I'll have to join others here in sitting out participating on the national level, and concentrate my little efforts here in the local arena.
We gave it a shot...

Sir Lod...
Sadly, far too many of my friends here on 4um have not done their homework, nor at least given much time to considering that, JUST PERHAPS THE SYSTEM WAS GAMING ALL OF US.
Rand Paul was the answer, to anyone with an open and curious mind. Anyone watching and listening to Rand would never have supported his Father.
I had someone on the 4um post the add that Rand has posted on the internet, looking for money to break all big labor unions. No one paid any attention.
The system has gamed the American voters one more time.

"If you want to exercise political power, you need an organization, and this is where the libertarian mindset fails completely."
As well the Internet Community.
But I am Sure We Are Getting More Savvy about a lot of things the established military finance political structures are not too happy about coming out.
News Media, obviously included in this as the proximate enabler.
he does a brilliant analysis and then promptly draws the wrong conclusions.
He called Ron Paul correctly.
I was thinking more along his social and economic policies. He doesn't like Ron Paul because he doesn't like the Austrian School. Webster is leftist statist.

. He doesn't like Ron Paul because he doesn't like the Austrian School.
First time for me to listen to Tarpley, or the other guy.
Re von Mises, Hayek, etc etc they were nothing until Rockefeller put them on his payroll.
I suspect after the election, many people will have a different view on Ron Paul. Unfettered support by Rand for Oromney should have opened a few peoples eyes, of course those with a closed mind will never see the light.

Yeah, there are a lot of great methods and program out there. They all have their place, and they sell because they do the job to a greater or lesser extent.
I have seen this little electronic gadget advertised on tv, something called ectaco. It looks like it would be handy for those traveling in a foreign country.

Good for him. They need to be broken. Unaccountable, lazy government scum like yourself should not be burdening those who pay their wages by making more than their corporate peers who pay their wages. Losers like yourself who couldn't make it without a government handout shouldn't have a better retirement that those who actually pay your salaries.

You may never expect anything to change in your lifetime.
I do.
He is a big government leftist. The only change he wants is more of what we've been getting.
He also claims to be 80 years old so things likely won't change significantly between now and the day the worthless geezer is chucked in the clay.
What a great day that will be for the world. One less useless lifelong societal parasite for the taxpayer to feed and take care of.

Go fuck yourself loser. At least I didn't spend my entire life sucking off the tit of government and being a parasite upon society like you. I bet you taught your filthy spawn to do the same.

I plan on having a good day, up bright and early, see what is happening around the world. The internet, so far, has been a huge asset to mankind, instant communication most anywhere on earth. Tons of knowledge available and numberless masses of people to commincate with.
Whatever. You may buy into the "wise old man" bullshit he tries to peddle here but I see a worthless lifelong parasite on society.

I was near thirty when I realized I knew nothing of the world on my own, everything in my head had been taught to me, in an organized and structured agenda. The question was, perhaps I had been lied to and what had been omitted by design.
So I started reading on my own and about that time, to my good fortune, three much older gentlemen entered my life, all were retired, one after thirty two years in the military, WW2 and Korea, another was a retired maritime lawyer and sea captain, the third was a Godson of Dr. Schacht.
They were a treasure trove of first hand knowledge, gathered from around the world, over a lifetime of many years. From those three gentlemen, I learned what had been omitted by the state education.
