Academia's Influence on US Government and Global Finance

President Eisenhower's famous farewell address purportedly included Academia in his written speech, but he changed it for the TV broadcast to be a warning about the "military industrial complex" rather than "military industrial academic complex," instead.

[Here are a couple of articles shedding more light on the theme of academia doing the bidding of government: http://www.clevelandfreepress.com/content/2648 and http://www.countercurrents.org/us-turse290404.htm ]

Inside Job, the Academy Award winning documentary is well worth watching. We tried to play the following clip from the film, narrated by Matt Damon and created/directed by Chris Ferguson.

In this audio clip from the movie, linked below, the filmmakers drill down on the major, and hidden heretofore, influence of leadership in academia and global finance and vice versa. They interview John Campbell (Harvard Econ), Martin Feldstein (Havard Prof, Director AIG 1988-2009), Glen Hubbard (Dean Columbia Biz School, Chief Economist to W. Bush), Frederic Mishkin (Fed Reserve Governor 2006-2008, Prof Columbia Biz School).

I do point out, on the show, that the only hesitation I have about the documentary is the potential cozy relationship between filmmaker Ferguson and George Soros and members of the International Monetary Fund, as he divulges in the DVD's extras portion: The Making Of Inside Job. That is worth watching and paying attention to.

So, as I ask on the show today -- what is a free people to do when the deck is stacked so clearly against them? What alternatives are available to a free people to maintain their own wealth and prosperity derived from their own means?

One such idea was the Liberty Dollar project put together by Bernard von NotHaus, which I have mentioned on previous shows and blog postings.

Peter Schiff recently interviewed vonNotHaus on his daily radio show and then he put out a very compelling 15 minute youtube video promoting the hour long interview.

For today's show I played an 11 min clip of that Schiff video.
I wrote about how important this clip was at this blog posting here earlier.

Peter Schiff points out with common sense clarity that, "all US coins and currency is basically counterfeit." And he goes on to very succinctly explain how the government calling NotHaus a terrorist is ridiculous on its face... "Who is he terrorizing?! Are we to fear a silver medallion? The only one being terrorized is the government itself," says Schiff. It is well worth a listen.

We end the show talking about what can we do locally?
And I refer to a meeting with one of our local county supervisors where I challenged him to think about foregoing concerning oneself with the moving target of the EPA's "Attainment" air quality standards and running our own county in our manner.

This was in the context of a discussion about Agenda 21 and the proposed county Sustainability Plan.

What would a county look like that was truly self governing, I asked him.
He admitted that he had ever thought about such a position to take. And I told him that I did not expect him to act on that today, but I wanted to plant a seed with him to be thinking about such prospects.

Let's plant some more seeds.
