It's difficult to discuss anything because of how combative you are. We all use hyperbole but your posts always have a touch of aggression with constant red herrings. You already know I'm not a hardcore follower of Skousen, Carlson, or "the Right" in general. I first replied because of how condescending your posts to DR were, like you're the high judge of what's acceptable content. Good info to keep in mind about Skousen's connections to Reagan etc. but I don't see the purpose of continuing to incite when your point was acknowledged. There are gradations of judgement and in no way is he guilty like the lying murderer Colin Powell for example.
IMO the ability to listen to all sides of the social spectrum is a characteristic of wisdom. In nature it's rare to find something absolutely black and white; life is colored in shades of grey. There is truth (and lies) to be found everywhere. If a statement is true why does it matter who said it? Tucker Carlson has multiple segments on Assange, deaths from the injections being ignored, facts about vampires like Paul Singer gutting US manufacturing, etc. In my book he deserves props for that, so be it.
It's not a surprise that many people hate the concept of dictatorships like the Soviet Union and the CCP so yeah they promote capitalism. In the same way countries naturally look out for their own interests first. What Skousen believes, in response to common conservative categorization, is that Biden and others are not communists- they are globalists. Kissinger was a globalist, not a communist. In his view communism is a tool to disrupt capitalist democracies in which globalists inevitably seize power. It's common knowledge the central bankers play both sides to profit off of tension. I take these ideas as an example of how meaningless the terms left, right, communist, etc. can be in certain ways. Skousen also exposed the demolition of the buildings on 9-11 and the criminal WOT as a globalist plot. He says the plandemic is an even bigger globalist conspiracy and he's absolutely correct. This event has the markings of the World Bank, WHO, WEF, etc. all over it. Correct intelligence is essential to planning; with his insight on survival Skousen is a key asset to his subscribers.
The wild thing to me is I've heard the exact same commentary from socialists that the Democrats, Liberals, and Fabian types aren't socialists- they're globalists.The Great Reset and 4IR isn't communism, it's authoritarian techno-fascism. I'm just as adamant in defending these definitions in hope that the country I'm in could nationalize control of our energy, communications, currency, or every other resource that makes sense to do so.
To respond directly to your reply Van I disagree that Swinn would laugh in my face. I think we could have an intelligent conversation and circle the nuances of political history with honesty. It's possible if people ditch the keyboard as a weapon and talk in person they'd be forced to treat each other as humans.
I never said Biden and Skousen were opposites. Also I've listened to Biden's speeches. Skousen has pieces of the truth and some value, so agree to disagree.
I honestly wish the Colonel's opinion meant something. To witness his decent into irrelevancy the last years was disappointing. The red-brown alliance stuff, LaRouch network conspiracy, global "fascism", trans activism, Fed boyz fueds, January 6th coup, imitating a born again Christian to slander Muhammed... with everything going on it's embarrassing to say the least.
Anyways on this discussion you can have the last comment or insult whatever. There's too many other topics right now to consider.
