Will Grigg, blogger and author of
Liberty in Eclipse, discusses his article “
‘Rising’ to Empire, Falling from Grace;”
why the “United State” of America is indeed an empire and has the
Founding Fathers turning in their graves; why America’s elite are little
different than the Soviet Union’s
nomenklatura;
the strengths and shortcomings of the Occupy Wall Street and Tea Party
movements, and how their minor differences keep them divided and
conquered; how Oakland police – disinterested in property or violent
crimes – found time to
nearly kill IVAW member and Occupy Oakland protester Scott Olsen; and redefining
political centrism as something resembling libertarianism, rather than
the radicalism of John McCain and Joe Lieberman.
