This guy really has some insight into how People and Governments think and act. I mention him because almost no one else ever does. He tells the strait scoop with pretty much no bias or agenda.
check him out if you get the chance

Another good book in the same vein is The Crowd by Gustave Le Bon. If you think you have a poor opinion of democracy already, just read The Crowd and The True Believer and you will dread every election.
The Revolt of the Masses by Ortega y Gasset is a classic as well.

From Wikipedia:
In May, 1968 about a year after Six Days War has ended he wrote an article named "ISRAEL 'S PECULIAR POSITION.." It was published in Los Angeles Times on May 26, 1968. In his article Hoffer wrote:
“ The Jews are a peculiar people: things permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews.Other nations drive out thousands, even millions of people and there is no refugee problem. Russia did it, Poland and Czechoslovakia did it.Turkey threw out a million Greeks and Algeria a million Frenchman.Indonesia threw out heaven knows how many Chinese and no one says a word about refugees.But in the case of Israel, the displaced Arabs have become eternal refugees.Everyone insists that Israel must take back every single one.[12] ”
Hoffer asks why "everyone expects the Jews to be the only real Christians in this world" and why Israel, should sue for peace after her victory.

I don't think he got the real picture.

I've read Le Bon's book too and yes it is quite depressing the way I look at society now.

As far as his books go they are a great reads for anyone interested in crowds and the masses of people and how they think. And as far as I can remember he lives his political views out of his books.

you and a few others need to brush up on your sleuthing skills. Just because I don't Parrot the the "popular" opinions around her verbatim does not mean I'm some kind of a mole. I share many of the same opinions and feelings though and I thought this would be a friendly site to share with others but you and a few others are intent on making things difficult for no good reason but your own paranoia.

Yeah...create an exaggerated "Hillbilly" persona and fill GSUS with your rendition of an ignorant redneck goy so that Percival can later revisit and point to your posts as proof that we are violating the new Internet Hate Crime Laws of the ADL.

No, I'm a totally original poster. I do know who you are talking about though because I have been following things clear from the old site.
Really? What was your user name at GIM?

I was just a lurker on the old site. I never thought about registering because there was a really bad fringe element on there that I did not like. I thought that once the new site was up that things would be cool so I registered for the first time.

Who might this "bad fringe element" be at the old GIM1?

Well...as you can see, we don't have any bad fringe element here at GSUS.

Well it suffers from similar tactics but dissimilar points of view. That's why I did not like Merlin and his crew he and his cohorts were always up in everyone else's shit all the time with their line if BS.
