“During the 1930s, some of the leading intellectuals in America condemned our economic system and pointed to the centrally planned Soviet economy as a model -- all this at a time when literally millions of people were starving to death in the Soviet Union, from a famine in a country with some of the richest farmland in Europe and historically a large exporter of food.” PeopleCountryAmericaMillionsEconomyEconomicModelsEuropeUnionsSovietSoviet UnionStarvingFamine1930sEconomic SystemsFarmland Book:Dismantling America and Other Controversial Essays (Large Print 16pt) Source: Dismantling America and Other Controversial Essays (Large Print 16pt)

“America has always been the most fertile ground for models - and they were always exported to other countries. When Eastern Europe opened up its doors to the rest of the world, a lot of the girls that were basically working there for $1 a month realized that if they were beautiful and that they could go to Paris and work for $1,000 a day versus the $10,000 that the other girls were demanding. So it created a huge imbalance in the financial structure of how clients could budget out campaigns. The market became flooded.” IfsWorldCountryAmericaBeautifulGirlDoorsHugeMonthsModelsEuropeStructureFinancialCampaignsBudgetsParisOther CountriesClientsVersusEasternFertileImbalanceOther GirlEastern EuropeFertile Ground Author:Michael Flutie

“They [the Soviets] intend...to induce the Americans to adopt their own 'restructuring' and convergence of the Soviet and American systems using to this end the fear of nuclear conflict.... Convergence will be accompanied by blood baths and political re-education camps in Western Europe and the United States. The Soviet strategists are counting on an economic depression in the United States and intend to introduce their reformed model of socialism with a human face as an alternative to the American system during the depression.” HumansEndsStatesFacesPoliticalUnitedUnited StatesBloodEconomicConflictModelsEuropeWesternNuclearSocialismAlternativesCampsSovietIntroducingBathsCountingNew World OrderStrategistHuman FacesConvergenceWestern EuropeRestructuringEconomic Depression Author:Anatoliy Golitsyn
“The peasants have seen the future - Greece and France - and concluded that it does not work. Hence their opposition to Obama's proudly transformational New Foundation agenda. Their logic is impeccable: Only the most blinkered intellectual could be attempting to introduce social democracy to America precisely when the world's foremost exemplar of that model - Europe - is in chaotic meltdown.” WorldDoeAmericaPoliticalSocialDemocracyIntellectualModelsEuropeLogicFoundationFranceOppositionAgendasIntroducingAttemptingGreecePeasantsChaoticImpeccableSocial DemocracyMeltdowns Author:Charles Krauthammer
