    Sounds to me like LaRouche has been subjected to the same smear tactics that have always been used against anyone who tries to expose the financial oligarchy's vice-like grip over America... the John Birch Society too was accused of being fascist and anti-Semitic. Their most prominent member, Larry McDonald, was eventually blown out of the skies.

    Of course the quote was in the American Almanac, that's what the poster Almanac put up. Wikipedia makes a stalwart attempt to be as neutral as possible, there's no question of it not approving. I simply suggested that people should read the critiques included in the Wikipedia entry.

    Judging from the entries I've read relating to these topics I'd agree with this evaluation:

    [Wikipedia] is notorious for being completely infested with maniacally obsessive trolls, crooked insiders, and establishment apologists.
    Shills paid to disseminate disinformation.

    Almanac. You are always good for a laugh. You hardly expect these fools to know who Larry McDonald was . Some of them will google him and will come back saying he was a right wing loon, they never read as far as to find out he was a democrat congressman. Same with LaRouche, another democrat who somehow is an extreme right wing loon.

    These posters are wiki experts and it shows.

    As you know, the main media machines are even worse. Even when senior editors and reporters, like the former editor of the New York Times, openly admit that they manufacture news to fit the financial capitalists' agenda it makes no impact.

    The establishment Telegraph reports on

    ...an unprecedented new trend: Mexican police officers claiming safe haven across the border in America, because they claim their own colleagues cannot protect them - or might even be trying to kill them.
    The "failed state" landscape painting continues.

    The drug wars that have made Mexico as dangerous as Iraq, claiming more than 6,000 lives last year, will dominate the agenda this week when President Barack Obama visits his Mexican counterpart, Felipe Calderon, en route to the Summit of the Americans in Trinidad and Tobago.
    Interesting. If it's as "dangerous" as Iraq then I guess it can be treated like Iraq.

    US weapons sales surge

    US citizens are preparing for the worst.

    Millions have gone on a buying spree that has stripped shops in some parts of the country of assault weapons and led to a national ammunition shortage.

    Get an allotment a.s.a.p. Everyone is entitled to one. Learn about them here:

    Irish Allotments

    and here:

    Food Security From The Ground Up | Dublin Food Growing

    Some advice from Colonel Kurtz: "If you want to buy in bulk just go to an Asian market. They are set up to sell in bulk - much cheaper for the basics like rice. You can buy a 20kg bad of basmati rice for about 45 euro. That's more than 200 servings of rice per bag.

    If you are growing your own it might be worthwhile investigating making your own earthbox. I am building my own at the moment - it will be fun to grow my own tomatoes for my vindaloos."

    Lthse posted, "I did a lot of research about soil remineralisation a few years ago and would highly recommend remineralising your soil using rockdust or seaweed dust. Most soils are seriously depleted in minerals and only 3 are added by farmers and growers NPK. A lot of health problems are caused by mineral defficiency because of soil depletion, if it's not in the soil then it won't be in the food. Even organic growers don't add enough to the soil or understand the health benefits. The minerals help restore bone density, repair blood vessels, restore tissue elasticity, organ functions etc there are literally hundreds of health benefits. It's not quackery either it's based on science and studies done by researchers and medical expert."

    And for food storage: "There are a lot of bargains if you look closely, for example I bought tins of beans, peas, lentils, large packets of porridge, Tesco cereals, razors (49c for 10), canned fruit (30c), creamed rice (25c) soup, pasta, Tesco salmon, Tesco sardines, Tesco tea-bags, large packets of toilet rolls, canned stew, meat (limited by freezing space), rice, coffee, pasta sauce, Tesco beer, Tesco vodka, chocolate, large bottles of Tesco shampoo, toothpaste.

    You can buy large bags of rice in the Asian stores for about 20 Euros.

    Large boxes of washing powder for 20 Euros (Bold, 90 washes) can be found in some stores (I don't know the stores but I got a friend to buy them as she knows where to get them).

    If you know anyone holidaying in Spain/Canaries you can get 200 cigarettes for 5 Euros.

    Some people like to buy in bulk but I don't think it's necessary. You can buy a lot of food for about 30 Euro a week if you look at the bargains on offer and you will have much more variety. I would recommend buying a wide variety of foods but that's just my opinion.

    I would recommend buying wholewheat rice and pastas because they are very high in energy and fill you up. Porridge is also very good for giving you energy and filling you up.

    I haven't looked at Lidl and Aldi yet but will be having a look over the coming weeks."
