William F. Buckley, the apologist for the terror that was, enjoys the good life. [LISTEN TO PODCAST HERE] Script titbit: Those of you that see conservatism as vile, may I raise a small voice of protest? It's not that we don't have an ideology, we do, the sole purpose of our Ideology is to satisfy those of our constituents that don't have the requisite analytical powers to understand that which doesn't exist. The world has elements in it that are so complex that the exercise of trying to change it for an undemonstrated credo appears to me to be impertinent! There has to be an authority even if they're judged to be wrong... Because the alternative to that is reason and that simply won't do you know, our praetorian duty will always be to keep Pandora's box firmly closed. Links: Noam Chomsky on William F.

Attila The Stockbroker BBC World News Head of Programmes, Paul Gibbs, says: "If Max (Keiser) had been on our screens a year ago we wouldn't be in this shit." Karmabanqueradio Will Hutton: "For 30 years, greedy, callow, ignorant financiers, supported by no less callow politicians from all the political parties, have proclaimed the wonders of financial innovation and how proud we all should be of the City of London.

Daisaku Ikeda Pictured with General Noriega Daisaku Ikeda, president of Soka Gakkai International (SGI),  has 555 honorary citizenships and holds the most honorary doctorates awarded to a single individual! [LISTEN TO PODCAST HERE] Yoshihiro Tsurumi: "The Bush administration,regards democracy in Japan as no different from that of Russia. Both are viewed as 'kleptocracies.' On the surface, the political leaders are elected; but the truth is that they constitute a country completely dominated by the ruling party, which is in cahoots with the bureaucrats. Through the distortions generated by their years of holding onto control and the election system, they work with pressure groups that support them for their own benefits. It is as if the citizens were under domination of a gang of robbers." Takayoshi Kitagawa: "While I wouldn't say that Soka Gakkai is seen as a cult, they are a very structured, organized, militarist group that wields immense political power." Takashi Shokei: Ikeda is "[a] power-hungry individual who intends to take control of the government and make Soka Gakkai the national religion."
