Aaah, the beautiful expansion of a fascist. How proud Mussollini must be from the great beyond! Watch as anti-Bush comments are tossed & pro-Bush propaganda is pushed. Read up on how these guys are “Neo-Jacobin” & followers of Leo Strauss’s philosophy (but worse) to see what they’re up to. They also follow Milton Friedman’s economic philosophy.

Jon, get some stuff on their teachers & then people can easily predict where they’re heading in policy making. Clinton was taught by a racist named Carrol Quigley (if I remember correctly), btw.

In 1890 Cecil Rhodes stated he would start a movement that would in 100 years bring in a world government in which there would be no war and only one language. One hundred years later in 1990, President Bush announced the arrival of the New World Order. Since early this century Rhodes Scholars have been involved with the CFR, United Nations, International Monetary Fund, international banking, Congress, and federal administrations since Woodrow Wilson. President Clinton, a Rhodes Scholar, has appointed at least twenty-two Rhodes Scholars to high positions in his administration.
