If you're anti-war then you shouldn't vote Democrat;Look at the admins that got us involved in wars during the 20th century.
As a matter of fact, the UN credits the deaths of 500k Iraqi children to Bill Clinton, a charge not refuted.

alright java, i'm gonna now insist you get some sort of web downloader like realplayer...download these fucking video's and chop them so that they get right to the fucking point. I listened to this guy for a couple minutes and he hadn't started in on yet, it just gets old man. Just give us the cliffnotes...who the fuck is murray rothbard and who's mind did he change about war yada yada yada
He never gets to the point, both speeches consist mostly of meta-discussion, and ridicule of those who don't follow Austrian School Economics. It's 99% self-referential jargon talk.
I'm not saying that there aren't any valid points, but this guy is a cheerleader preaching to the choir.

I'll post an audio of Murray lecturing in 1992 about the Federal Reserve and the power elite. He's probably the foremost economic historian of the 19th and early 20th century.

It's a conference speech.

Forward to the 5 minute point, I had the same revelation as a perpetrator and not a spectator.
..the last time I voted for a major party candidate for POTUS was for H.W. against Clinton.
LOL- Spartacus?
Then maybe there's some other forum where he has spoken more succinctly?
I went through a bunch of Woods' youtube rants, and it's pretty much all the same - his own points are always just sort of taken for granted as pre-understood, and he spends most of his time ridiculing the opposition. I guess you have to read the book...

Maybe you should go to Rothbard directly. I just posted a lecture on the fed and the power elite (wall street banking).
It's interesting that mainstream historical scholarship is starting to acknowledge the US entry into WWI wasn't a foregone conclusion but a war of choice and did contribute to the rise of Hitler and WWII.
Well it was the draconian measures of the Armistice Agreement that set the stage for Hitler and WWII... That was just bad economics, something maybe we could learn from re: the Eurozone.

I would focus more on the fact JP Morgan interests were exclusively bank rolling the British and French; There would have been a more equal negotiating position between Germany and the Allies had the US not entered the war; The Versailles treaty was dictated, not negotiated because Germany had been so weakened.
