First Castro and now Putin
On the 7th of this month,
I wrote about this quote:
When Fidel Castro is lecturing the U.S. government on the principles of international capitalism, you know that something strange is afoot in the new world order.
�Joshua Keating
Now
Pootie-Poot is weighing in on the subject - from the
E3 Gazette:
You want a better Expert?
In the most stark and telling role-reversal, Vladimir Putin understands what America is hurtling toward with the "Stimulus":Putin Warns US About Socialism
"Russian Prime Minister Vladamir Putin has said the US should take a lesson from the pages of Russian history and not exercise �excessive intervention in economic activity and blind faith in the state�s omnipotence�.
�In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the state�s role absolute,� Putin said� �In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated.�
How do you dismiss it as "Fear Mongering" when the former Head of the KGB recognizes this as a giant government over-reach toward Socialism?
What could possibly carry more weight, at this moment, than the current Prime Minister of Russia saying:"Don't do this - We've been where you are - Don't Do This."
I got nuthin'.
Like I keep saying, 2012 is not that far away...
