Decline of Empires

I think this long interview is a great critique of military populism and American empire. I do have a few disagreements:

– 21:50 – Mr. Johnson’s suggested reforms are weak and beside the point. There’s one thing we can immediately do to fix our empire / looming tyranny, and that’s returning to a commodity based currency.

– 32:30 – Ha! He lists Paul Krugman as one of the few media figures who isn’t espousing the government message. I almost fell out of my chair.

– 37:00 – Ron Paul is my Cicero! Though I have nothing against Senator Byrd.

In general, his economic criticism is a little weak and misguided.
