By Brian D. from Glen Allen, VA on Aug 28, 2008
Great light - my son loves it, especially since it glows in the dark. The only drawback is that the instructions are rather vague - it's just a blurry picture (no words) - I hope I did it right.

Alertness and prompt action taken by night patrolmen in the early hours of Wednesday saved the lives of the passengers aboard the New Delhi-Bhubaneswar Purushottam Express as suspected Maoists had bent the railway track and removed 'pandrol clips' between the Gidhni and the Jhargram stations of Kharagpur division in West Bengal's Paschim Medinipur district.
The region has a strong Maoist presence and had witnessed the holdup of the Bhubaneswar-New Delhi Rajdhani Express by the Maoists on October 27.
A statement released by the South Eastern Railway (SER) authorities stated that the patrolmen were out on duty when they detected a "group of miscreants trying to bend the railway track and removing 'pandrol clips' [devices that hold the railway tracks to the concrete sleepers] at about 1.15 a.m".
According to the statement, the New Delhi-Bhubaneswar Purushottam Express passed Gidhni station at 1.14 a.m. and was scheduled to pass through the spot any moment. The damaged track could have resulted in the train's derailment.
The patrolmen immediately informed the Gidhni station authorities following which train movement in both the up and down directions were stopped.
Mamata to reward patrolmen
Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee, at a railway function at Howrah station on Wednesday, lauded the efficiency of the patrolmen, K. Mahato and Panchu Ram, and announced that they would be rewarded for the act.
After the railway officials, Railway Protection Force and local police rushed to the spot, it was found that pandrol clips of 400 metre of track were missing, the tracks were bent at several places and a sleeper was kept diagonally over one of the tracks, the statement added.
Trains delayed, cancelled
Fifteen trains, including the Down Pune-Howrah Azad Hind Express, Down Mumbai- CSTM-Howrah Geetanjali Express, Up Purushottam Express, Up Chennai-Guwahati Express and Up Howrah-Ahmedabad Express, were delayed by an average of four hours while two trains each were short-terminated and rescheduled and one had to be cancelled.
Normality was restored at around 7.45 a.m. on Wednesday, SER authorities said.
PSBJC torches 3 trucks
Meanwhile, supporters of the Maoist-backed Police Santrash Birodhi Janasadharaner Committee (PSBJC) torched three potato-laden trucks at Mohanpur on the National Highway 6 in the Paschim Medinipur district on the day.
The incident happened on the last day of the indefinite blockade that was called by the PSBJC since December 18 even as the outfit had announced on Tuesday that the blockade would be called off from December 31 keeping in mind the inconvenience faced by the local population.
There were also reports of exchange of gunfire between the Maoists and the security personnel at Bhalukchira camp near Goaltore late on Tuesday.

5 Tech IPOs to Watch for in 2013
Another company based out of San Francisco, Airbnb, which provides users with home-based lodging options instead of hotels has become a huge hit. It's a play off the collaborative consumption economy, in which users make do with what they already have, and squeeze additional benefits out of them.
Airbnb raised $117 million in a Series D financing in the latter part of 2012. In total, Airbnb has raised over $230 million, and some of those early investors, which include Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz and others, will want a return on that investment.Though Airbnb is not public, it does have one public competitor that is close to its business model, though it's not exactly the same. HomeAway (AWAY), which operates an online marketplace for the vacation rental industry, has seen a surge in its share price this year. Its shares have gained more than 50% this year, far outpacing the broader Nasdaq.

My life as an LPN Student - page 2
My intentions with this thread is to share MY journey as a LPN student. Even though we are either in NS, graduated or figuring out if this is for them, we can relate to one another but at the end of the day..Our journey is our... Read More
- 0Sep 13, '12 by samantha198823Congrats!!!! I tried to get into monmouth county voc and didn't pass the test! Im going to pine lands great school!! Good luck
- 1Oct 20, '12 by Curiously_InspiredIt's been about a month and a half since I posted. I'm sure as the program progresses I will be posting less and less. But I will certainly try my best.
So overall the program is great!! My grades are good for the most part with the exceptional missing a test by one point (two of them). But I make up for it on the next test usually. Every single free moment I usually have dedicated to studying. They are NOT playing when they say you have to study ALL the time. Unless you happen to be like one of my classmates who just needs to hear the lecture once and just reads the material once and retains it all. Bless her because I WISH I could do that lol. And she has a small child. Kudos to her!! But I cannot compare MY journey to anyone else's. That's something important for anyone reading this to remember as well. This is YOUR journey. Embrace it.
As of now the only advice I have is to make sure you do NOT fall behind in any reading. Use your free time wisely. Always read ahead when the instructor lets you know what they will be lecturing on next. That way the material is not foreign to you when you hear it. If you are a highlighting freak like me than use TWO different colors. One for the teacher when she lectures and one when you go back over the material. I do not suggest highlighter when you read beforehand. As it may confuse you more when your teacher is telling you what's most important on the test. I also like to make notes directly in my book when my instructor lectures, this may or may not work for everyone. I also ALWAYS do the workbook that comes with the books, the end of chapter questions, key terms and objectives. I know it may seem like a lot in addition to all that reading but it's part of my studying routine. Which has proved to be very helpful for me and may also be for you.
I was debating whether or not to get a rolling tote. Books are getting heavier so I think I am going to cave and buy one. I don't have to worry about taking up leg room or being in the way of a fellow student. My only real problem was spending the cash lol.
I have been trying to save money by bringing lunch every day. This has been very helpful. Minus the last couple of weeks I have spending way too much on eating out so next week I am back to bringing lunch.
I hope it's normal but some days I feel so burnt out from reading. I think, gosh, could I already be burning out it's so soon??? But once I have started to feel that I took a day to just do something other than nurse related and it helped me refocus and feel better...Than of course I feel guilty because I feel like I should be doing something and than go back to studying lol...
I hope everyone that started in September is enjoying school. I know I am! Although it's stressful I do not want to forget the reason I am doing this..I just need reminding sometimes lol...
I start my first real clinical day on Monday. I'm a little nervous but it's all your basic AM care so I think I will be fine. I think I am mainly nervous about speaking with the nurse while I give report. And then when we meet with our instructors and discuss. I am always scared that they will ask me a questions and I won't know the answer to it..This terrifies me because I do not want to look unprepared. Their opinion matters to me and I highly respect them.
Take care everyone...Even if I don't post here I do read allnurses everday..Usually on breaks. I get a lot of great info from this site. I feel like you cannot go to nursing school and not be a part of this site haha...In any case, I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend!!

Court acquits Kassim Fitie of corruption charges
Addis Ababa, 30 April 2014 (WIC) - Federal High Court First Criminal Bench acquitted Kassim Fite, former Head of the Addis Ababa Land Development and Administration Authority, and two others of corruption charges.
The court set Kassim and two others free without the defendants having to defend the prosecution's charge. The court, after examining the prosecution's evidence, deemed the evidence insufficient to warrant defense.
Kassim was charged with corruption in connection with a 500 sqm plot of land that was allegedly illegally transferred to another party.
The other defendants acquitted include Gebreyes Kidane, Lease Collection Supervision officer, and Bekele Gebre, Land Allocation Performance Sub-Process head.
The court, however, ruled Tesfaye Zemedkun, investigation and prosecution officer of the Addis Ababa City Administration Justice Bureau and a fourth defendant in the charge, should defend the prosecution's charge against him setting a bail bond of 5 thousand birr.
Instead Tesfaye, whose charges were amended by the prosecution, told the court that he has no defense to present leading the court to adjourn the case to May 6 for sentencing.
Kassim, a member of the House of Peoples Representatives, was detained on July 28, 2013 after parliament lifted his immunity on July 4, 2013. The request came for his immunity to be removed came from the Federal Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (FEACC) on August 2, 2012.

Surviving and Enjoying the First Year
Freedom, new friends and of course some studying...making sure you get through it and have a great time
You may be feeling a mixture of excitement and anxiety at the prospect of starting university. If youre living away from home for the first time dont worry about not knowing where the nearest corner shop is or whether youll like your room. The other new starters are in the same situation as you, so take comfort in this fact and look to the positives: freedom, new friends, studying what youre interested in, and well, more freedom.
This year could well turn out to be one of the best youve ever experienced, youll form new and exciting bonds with people, have countless adventures and most of all youll feel deeply satisfied at knowing you can fend for yourself. The tips below might help you along in the beginning.
The First Few Weeks
If youve moved into a new area, find out where your nearest GP, supermarket, post office and corner shop are in the first few days.
Keep all correspondence you are sent relating to you degree, student loan, tenancy agreement, etc in a safe easy to find place, you never know when you may need these.
Join clubs and societies to make friends. Also, simply by going out and socialising in the evenings youre bound to meet people. Check out the Student Union bar and other Uni events.
Tempting as it may be try not to spend your entire student loan at the beginning of your course by going out every night. You can save money by using your Student Union card to get into places. Think of cheap activities; a bottle of wine and a DVD round yours, house parties, or scout events listings for free things to do.
Exchange numbers or email addresses with a few people in your class so you can get notes if you miss a lecture. Find out whether there are handouts available, or whether the lectures are available online.
Be disciplined about your study time. As boring as it sounds, it makes sense to dedicate a little time to your coursework/studying right from the beginning. Cramming it all in on the eve of exam day means a stressful sleepless night and not feeling your best the following day. If you find you start off on the right foot and then slowly let your social life take over every evening take a step back and plan your time. Perhaps you have a couple of free hours during the day at the weekend, or an evening when you dont go out like a Monday night?

Governor proposes fix to child abuse reporting law
Updated On: Nov 14 2013 06:51:31 PM MST
Gov. Susana Martinez will ask the Legislature to fix what she views as loopholes in child abuse laws, including a recent court decision narrowing who's required to report suspected cases of abuse and neglect.
Martinez outlined her proposals Thursday to a meeting of officials from state child protection agencies.
The Court of Appeals ruled last month that only 10 categories of people listed in law, including physicians and teachers, must report suspected child abuse to authorities.
If someone abuses and kills a child 12 years old or younger, the punishment is currently life in prison. Martinez wants to increase that age to 18.
Martinez disagreed with the court's interpretation of the law, and said she'll ask the Legislature to make clear that every person must report suspected abuse.
When she was district attorney, Martinez prosecuted members of a Las Cruces family for not reporting the abuse of a child known as Baby Brianna, who died in 2002.
Martinez believes there needs to be a law making reports of child abuse suspicions mandatory without exception.

Longtime museum curator Kerry Brougher became the director of the Academy Museum in July.
Credit: Brandon Shigeta
Amid mixed reactions and some controversy, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recently unveiled plans for a new museum, designed by Renzo Piano, Hon. FAIA, of Genoa, Italy–based Renzo Piano Building Workshop and Zoltan Pali, FAIA, of Culver City, Calif.–based Studio Pali Fekete Architects. The project would renovate the historic May Company building in Los Angeles on the campus of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Pali left the project in May, and Gensler was brought on.
The museum's newly appointed director, Kerry Brougher, joined the project from the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, where he was chief curator and acting director. ARCHITECT sat down with Brougher in July shortly after he assumed his new position to speak about the new museum, his curatorial vision, and how the design supports his vision.
Being part of starting a new L.A. museum isn't entirely new to you. You were part of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) team that worked on the development and launch of The Geffen Contemporary in the early 1980s, and now you are working on the very first museum and new building for the Academy.
That was such a golden age for MOCA, I hope it gets back to that at some point. Pontus Hultén was the director—he was also the first director of the Pompidou, so he knew Renzo Piano. As a young curator, I was bowled over by having someone of his stature as the new director of this new museum in Los Angeles. Working with him made an enormous difference in my career because it opened me up to the possibilities of film in museums. Throughout my career I've tried to deal with the cinema in various ways, whether it be a physical exhibition like I did at MOCA that looked at crossovers between art and film since 1955, a show called "Hall of Mirrors," or whether it's commissioning artist Doug Aitken to do a giant projection onto the facade of the Hirshhorn Museum.
I actually take it back to those early days at MOCA where I really felt the potential of a museum being involved not only in visual art per say—in terms of painting, sculpture, and installation—but in the moving image. Bringing my museum background to the Academy, I can hopefully help create in three dimensions through the gallery space what they do so brilliantly in two dimensions on the screen.
Credit: ©Renzo Piano Building Workshop/© Studio Pali Fekete architects/©A.M.P.A.S.
Speaking of three-dimensions, can you elaborate more specifically on the aesthetics of the new building and how it relates to your curatorial vision?
The Academy brought me on admittingly a little late in the process, although I've been able to work with Renzo a couple of times already. I have to say I feel a nice symbiosis with his thoughts on the design and mine with the museum. My feeling is that the moving image has to be the primary core thing in the museum. That's the real artwork there! And, I find Renzo feels the same way. I also feel that one of the things we have to do is unveil the mechanisms of cinema to the public, so they get a sense of how art and technology come together to drive things forward. I find that Renzo's architecture is doing just that, it's about creating immersive environments.
The proposed design is quite a departure from a lot of Piano's other institutional buildings, in particular the adjacent buildings on LACMA's campus. What are your thoughts on the museum design?
We're sort of going to be on a Renzo campus here, but I think that with this new building he's really pushing it—he's pulling all the stops out, and that's what I want! I really want a building which is a signature building and some people may love it and some people may not, but you're going to pay attention to it. What we're seeking here, both Renzo and I, as Renzo put it one day—is to be inventive.
The design includes a 150-foot in diameter glass dome addition that functions as a 1,000-seat theater and event space, with panoramic views of the Hollywood Hills and Hollywood.
Can you talk about the renovation of this May Company building and how it's being incorporated into the museum design?
I have to say I'm so happy it's in this building for a couple of reasons. First of all, we're right next to LACMA, this is a wonderful area for people to come. The other reason is that I'm just thrilled this building will have a new life. While the outside of the building will remain about the same—its limestone facade will simply be cleaned up and the gold sphere on the front will remain—the interior will be transformed. The interior spaces that the May Company Building provides is an open framework for us to work in whatever ways we want, and that's where Renzo and I have done a lot of talking about including as much open gallery space as possible. The existing lobby is fantastic, it has a very high ceiling that is over 20-feet tall, Renzo envisions it as a continuous piazza from the outside. The May Company built an addition on the back of the building in 1946 that will be removed and will be restored to its original form. We're creating a concrete backing instead of the original limestone that was used, so you can see the difference between the old and the new. We will then connect the buildings with one of these wonderful Renzo spines that rises up so that people can move from floor-to-floor and into the sphere in an animated way. [Ed. note: The latest design connects the two buildings by bridges, rather than a spine.]
You told Variety in early June that the "image that has been used a lot is not accurate." Can you elaborate on this? How has the representation of the dome been misinterpreted in the press?
One of the issues we have to deal with in designing the dome is natural light. There was a very brief moment in which Renzo was looking at the possibility of cladding the dome with aluminum and then puncturing it so it would be more transparent as you moved towards the North. From an exterior perspective, the application of aluminum on the facade makes it look somewhat opaque. [Ed. Note: See this rendering in ARCHITECT.] ... We've since dropped that idea and are working with other means of achieving that same effect. We're in the middle of discussing how to control the light with select panels and being able to project onto it. Renzo's trying very hard to give me that, so I greatly appreciate his willingness to work with us.
From Renzo's willingness to Zoltan Pali's unwillingness to continue working on the project, do you have any comments on his exit?
No, not really. Zoltan was involved before I came on board and as I understand it Renzo and Zoltan worked together on the core design of the building, and we've sort of simply moved on now to having Gensler beginning to work on the detailed construction drawings. I think it's a matter of Zoltan pulling back and Gensler coming in to do the detailed drawings and we're continuing to massage the building's design with Renzo.
Are there any new directions for the design of the building that you can share with us?
Nothing that I haven't mentioned already. We've made a few changes inside as I previously mentioned. I wanted to get as much gallery space as possible so we shifted a few things here and there. I'm hoping to create a double-height gallery in the building, which Renzo has been very good about and loves the idea of creating. I feel that it all shouldn't be the same height as you move throughout but we have structural columns to deal with so it's not easy but I think we've figured it out. But no radical new direction!

Prep Time: 15 mins
Royal icing is very versatile. Use to ice cookies or decorate cakes. Or use to decorate or glue together gingerbread houses.
Nutritional Information coming soon!
• For plain royal icing, omit food color.
• Use icing soon after preparing. Do not refrigerate icing, as it will begin to harden.
• If cookie is decorated with contrasting icing before iced cookie is allowed to dry, icing colors will blend slightly, creating a softer, more muted design.

text: (NEENAH, Wis.) - A successful jewelry business is built on the loyalty of its customers. That's why smart jewelry retailers begin building a relationship with the very first purchase – most often, the purchase of an engagement ring. But despite a jeweler's best efforts, the loss of a cherished piece of jewelry could drive that customer to another retailer entirely. The insurance provider may be the culprit, leaving neither the jeweler nor the customer any say.

It's been nearly 20 years since she left the South, but Julia Fowler still says her husband's name with at least two syllables, and sometimes three – Say-a-um. (That's Sam to those who don't speak drawl.)
She still stage whispers, "bless her heart" for reasons both sympathetic and snide.
And, just like her mom and her grandmother before her, she blurts out "dern" several times a day.
Fowler, born and raised in Gaffney, S.C., glorifies Southern sayings in "S--- Southern Women Say," a new viral video she wrote, directed and stars in. Consider it her way of cherishing the stuff of her childhood – and chunkin' a rock (do proper Southern ladies do that?) at the Hollywood people who advise her to drop her drawl.
"My agents and acting coaches have kept telling me that I have to lose my accent or I'll never work," she said in a telephone interview from her home in Venice Beach, Calif. "But it's part of who I am. It kind of defines me."
Truth be told, her accent isn't so strong. She lilts more like, say, Dixie Carter in "Designing Women" than she spits and sneers like, say, Jaime Pressley in "My Name Is Earl."
But she wants you to know that all things Southern are worth listenin' to and lookin' at – hence her video.
She starts with "Hey, y'all" and ends with "Can you believe that b---- didn't write a thank-you note?" In between, it's one laugh after another – and it earned more than 1.5 million views in one week, plus a slew of comments. (From CourtneyBeans13: "I am from North Carolina and just about all of it is true and NONE of it is offensive. I guess what I'm trying to say is … THAT FOOL STOLE MY BUGGY AT THE PIGGLY WIGGLY.")
That quote comes from Sheila Hawkins, a Spartanburg native who moved to Los Angeles after attending Fowler's wedding; she's a producer and had never acted before "S--- Southern Women Say." The other two belles in Fowler's video are Katherine Bailess, a Mississippi native who has appeared in "One Tree Hill" and begins shooting a VH-1 series called "Bounce" in January; and Delaine Yates, a New Orleans transplant whom Fowler met in acting class.
Fowler made the video on fumes – begging and borrowing the actors, the equipment and the locations. She filmed and edited it in between her own acting gigs (you'll see her in "Vegas" Dec. 18) and what she calls her "survival job" as a Pilates instructor.
And, though "S--- Southern Women Say" has helped her make a point, Fowler also hopes it has made people laugh.
"What I love about the South is the South has the ability to laugh at it self," she said. We know we're funny, we know we're special. To strike the right tone is difficult, and I didn't know if I would or not. I'm sure I offended people. I'm sure some people love it."
Fowler ended up in L.A. through New York, where she went to pursue her dream of acting in musical theater after graduating from the University of South Carolina in 1994. In New York, she performed in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and "Annie Get Your Gun," among other shows. Her success in L.A. has come slower. She says she stumbled around for a few years after moving there in 2000, and then she decided to take control of her career.
She wrote a script for a romantic comedy set in South Carolina – about the competitive clog-dancing world. Fowler's mother competed, and the two even ran a dance studio in Gaffney where they trained young cloggers.
New Line Cinema bought the rights to the script and she worked on it for a year – casting actors (she was to play the lead) and setting up locations. Musician and producer T-Bone Burnett even signed on as music supervisor.
"I thought this is it, this is my big break," she said. "I'm going end up making it with my clogging movie."
And then New Line dropped it.
That's the way it goes in Hollywood, she said.
"It's incredibly difficult to your spirit and your soul," she said. "I hung on because I was raised by steel magnolias. (But I have decided) I don't have to become the perfect blond girl. Does that mean I don't get to work as much? Absolutely."
With the attention "S--- Southern Women Say" has received, Fowler's phone has started ringing. She's planning the next episode, plus she has some ideas for expanding it for television.
She has two producers raising money to take another shot at "The Possum Trot Cloggers."
"I want to grow this audience," she said, "and keep finding things that connect with it."
Bless her heart.

Zagat editor James Mulcahy checks out the juice craze at two new spots doing interesting things with healthy juices and filed this report.
Recently opened on the Lower East Side, The Butcher's Daughter is run by team behind nearby bars Apotheke and Pulqueria. Owner Heather Tierney was inspired by the cocktails being poured at those venues, but in The Butcher's Daughter there is no booze.
"We approach juice in the same way that we approach cocktails at Apotheke and Pulqueria," says Tierney. "We use really exotic and rare produce, and we use a lot of fresh herbs and botanicals. In our heritage juices, which are our specialty juices here, we highlight one herb per juice. We both juice the herb, and use an herbal elixir. We want everything to be kind of a full experience of all the senses."
The vegetable-driven juices are made to order and can be enjoyed with sandwiches and other small bites. Tierney thinks the store's popularity represents a new focus on healthy ingredients.
"The story of the name 'The Butcher's Daughter' comes from the concept that we came up with of a vegetarian butcher shop," says Tierney. "The story is that if there was an old butcher today, his daughter would be a vegetarian because she's just over all this meat. She's bored of it, she's tired of it, and she's really excited about vegetables."
Creative Juice, another new chain located inside Equinox gyms, features cold-pressed prepared juices concocted by Danny Meyer's union square hospitality group. Chef Michael Romano came up with the mixes.
"I approached creating the juices as if I was creating a dish," Romano says. "Some of the more interesting ingredients are red cabbage, radicchio, juniper berries, shiso, kefir lime, lemongrass and these kinds of things."
Though perfect after a workout, customers do not have to be a member of Equinox to enjoy the juices, which pack the nutrients in without seeming like health food.
"I wanted them, of course, to have a good nutrition profile, but also to be delicious, to combine hedonism with good health," says Romano.
For more information on these juice bars and other new restaurants, visit blog.zagat.com.

EAST GREENWICH – Art in a box took on a whole new meaning at the East Greenwich Art Festival this past weekend. That theme – which has marked the three previous Festival Fete events on the campus of New England Tech each August – was brought to life in the form of jewelry-maker Lianna Michelle's tools.
Each female ear, neck and wrist is unique, so, as any of 2,000 guests strolled by her tent, Lianna Michelle opened her tool box, pulled out her needle nose pliers, her round nose pliers, crimps, findings, and customized her original jewelry to the wearer's demands.
"Each woman is different. Some are short, some are tall, each an individual, so, as an added service, I've added extensions and customized things for people. I collaborated with them on the spot, giving them what they wanted," said Michelle, who grew up on the Warwick/East Greenwich line. She lengthened her pieces, shortened them, circled them, or attached them higher, depending on the request. "It really worked well for me today. I sold a lot of my work."
For more of this story pick up a copy of The East Greenwich Pendulum.

Now that the local and European elections are behind us I am going to become tougher over what I allow people to post on this site. In the long run up to the General Election on May 7th 2015 I wish this site to continue to be independent. I pay for it out of my own income. It is not an official Conservative party site, nor is it an MP's website funded by the taxpayer. I will not post any item which is blatantly party political and has in it a exhortation to vote for a particular party, or which rubbishes people from other parties in the hope of gaining party advantage. There are plenty of other sites that do this, and the best place to promote your own party is on one of its own approved websites. I will no longer edit pieces to protect their authors from possible libel or retaliation for remarks hurtful to particular groups, religions and institutions – I will instead simply delete the whole comment as it takes too much of my time to check it out or amend it.

Scotiabank Closes Transaction To Buy U.S. Energy Investment Boutique Howard Weil
TORONTO, April 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Scotiabank today announced it has closed the acquisition by Scotia Capital Inc. of Howard Weil Incorporated, a leading U.S.-based energy investment boutique. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed and are not financially material to Scotiabank.
"Strategically, this acquisition aligns Howard Weil's talent pool with Scotiabank's resources in Corporate Banking, Institutional Equity and Oil and Gas Mergers and Acquisitions," said Mike Durland, Scotiabank Group Head, Global Capital Markets and Co-Chief Executive Officer, Global Banking and Markets. "Howard Weil not only expands Scotiabank's product footprint in the energy sector, but also grows our dedicated equity sales, trading and research capabilities in the U.S."
Established in 1946, Howard Weil is a privately held energy investment boutique that operates in New Orleans and Houston. The firm focuses exclusively on the energy industry, providing equity research, institutional sales and trading, as well as investment banking services.
"Scotiabank's equities strategy focuses on global growth initiatives where we have deep sector expertise or an ability to leverage our organizational and geographic presence," said Patrick Burke, Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets Managing Director and Head of Equity. "The Howard Weil transaction embraces both of these qualities, with industry leading insights and a unique perspective on the U.S. energy sector."Howard Weil is recognized as one of the top boutiques and regional firms in the energy industry and provides research coverage on about 115 leading corporate clients, primarily in the U.S. "Scotiabank's commitment to providing the highest level of service to energy clients is strategically reinforced by this transaction and our ability to provide a seamless energy platform is strengthened," said Adam Waterous, Vice-Chairman, Head of Scotiabank Global Investment Banking, President and Head of Scotia Waterous. "Together we can now provide research coverage on over 220 energy companies, while offering clients an enhanced suite of product and execution services on a global platform." Through offices in Toronto, Calgary, Houston, New York, London, Asia and Latin America, Scotiabank is a global leader in the energy sector with a team of experienced professionals involved in all facets of the industry. This includes exploration and production companies, oil field services companies, pipelines, midstream, specialty chemicals and refining. The transaction will combine Scotiabank's leading capabilities in mergers and acquisitions, equity underwriting, corporate lending, and hedging with Howard Weil's strong U.S. equity sales, trading and research capabilities. Scotiabank consolidated its wholesale financial services brands in January 2012. All global wholesale financial services are now offered under the Scotiabank brand to better capitalize on the Bank's strong international reputation.

ROCKWELL: Well, good morning. This is the Lew Rockwell Show. And how great to have as our guest this morning, Dr. Joseph Salerno. Joe is the academic vice president of the Mises Institute. He's editor of the Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics. His most recent book is Money, Sound and Unsound. He's also head of the graduate program and professor of economics at Pace University in New York.
So, Joe, I'm inspired by a recent article of yours about the state and war. You seem to be demonstrating in this article that imperialist war is sort of an unnecessary outgrowth, or a logical outgrowth maybe is a better way to put it, of a big state.
SALERNO: Yes, I think it's —
ROCKWELL: Or maybe the state itself.
SALERNO: Yeah. I think it's an unnecessary implication of the state. What I tried to do is to look at it from a praxeological point of view, that is, from a theory of action, the logic of action. And once you look at the fact that everyone has comparative advantage in society — you and Murray Rothbard recognized this first, I think — that there's going to be some people that are better at wielding power than others, just as there are better people who have a comparative advantage, for example, playing basketball, football, or being a financial planner. You can have people that are great at wielding power, using it in ways that — for self aggrandizement and so on. Those people will tend to take over the state. So that's sort of one law of praxeology.
And then the other one is sort of the logical implication of the fact that human beings are different also. And that is that, in order to have production, you have to have most of the people carrying on production in society and there can only be a small ruling elite. The ruling elite always has to be a minority of the population because they siphon off what is produced. So imagine if 70% of the people were in the ruling elite and not working and siphoning off the resources of the 30%. Pretty soon that would collapse. The economy would collapse. So as Hume and la Boetie have pointed out — these political philosophers — the state is always a minority but the majority has to accept the state through various — through propaganda and parasitical intellectual manipulations by either a priesthood or the intelligentsia, the media, and so on. So those are the two rules, that is, that you're — whether it's a democracy, kingdom, or any other sort of state, it is always going to be a minority ruling the majority. Which brings us to the tax. The rulers are the ones that siphon off the resources. They are the tax consumers. And the majority of the population is always the taxpayers.
ROCKWELL: Although, as Hoppe points out, democracy has helped disguise this, hasn't it, to a certain extent, and may be the greatest invention ever, from the standpoint of state power, democracy, that it makes people feel like we're all the state, we're all the government, we are the government, and disguises the fact that there is a power elite?
SALERNO: Right. By giving access to everyone to the state, to become part of the state, they take the illogical leap and say, well, therefore, we are the state, just because everyone has a chance to be, in some sense, part of the ruling class. But, of course, that's just a disguise because, at any given moment, there is a minority that is benefiting from the state.
ROCKWELL: And, of course, as Hayek's chapter in the Road to Serfdom on how the worst rise to the top — I mean, these are — as you say, these are the people who are the best at demagoguery, the best at lying, the best at fooling people, are the ones who have the comparative advantage. And so once being in that position, why are they not satisfied to simply rip off their domestic? But why do they want to conquer? Why do they want war?
SALERNO: Well, that's a very good point. And the reason, of course, is that, at some point, the population becomes very, very — some of the population — dissidents, the Libertarians, the anarchists — notice that this is a big con game and they begin to spread, disseminate these ideas to the rest of the population.
The way to keep the population in line is always to have a tiger, a figure of a tiger at the gates. So you always want a foreign enemy. And so that is the reason why we'll always have wars, the state will always engage in wars. So imperialism, in a sense, is a logical implication of having a state, and the fact that the state has to lie to cover the fact that it's just a minority and it's benefiting itself and not providing any sort of public goods or collective goods.
ROCKWELL: I noticed this morning there was a report that the vast intelligence apparatus of the Boston Police Department, who was spending most of its time doing very, very detailed surveillance of peaceful peace groups, Veterans for Peace and similar groups that are all nonviolent but just people who are advocating anti-war ideas, are seen by the state as, in some sense, its greatest enemies, along with, of course, regular anarchists and Libertarians.
SALERNO: That's a good point. I mean, it happened during the Vietnam War. We saw the police surveillance of peace groups —
ROCKWELL: Yes.
SALERNO: — and now it's coming back. And it really is a scary thing. We've heard now that the federal government is subsidizing police, domestic police to have drones, to purchase drones, and that we're going to have thousands of drones in the air over the U.S. in the next five years.
ROCKWELL: Yes. And, of course, they're also going to be armed. Initially, they said, well, they're going to be just surveillance drones, which, of course, is bad enough, but then it turns out that all these surveillance drones are capable of being all armed, having missiles on them. Even the real little tiny ones that they're talking about that are the size of the dragonfly —
SALERNO: I wasn't aware of that.
ROCKWELL: — could actually kill somebody. This is what they want. Of course, it's what Orwell talked about in 1984. It's not going to be that sort of technology, but advanced technology. But this is what they want to keep — keep their eyes on everybody in case they are spreading bad ideas.
SALERNO: Right. Right, because ideas are what kills the state. And the state could only respond with repression and, of course, with fabricating foreign enemies, which is what Rome, for example — a great example is Rome. Joseph Schumpeter, in his great article on imperialism, wrote about Rome fabricating endless enemies that were always violating the rights of Romans, and this is what we see in the United States.
But the U.S. has gone further than Rome, because now we have an incorporeal enemy, a disembodied enemy — terror — right?
ROCKWELL: Yeah.
SALERNO: So this is the perfect the enemy.
ROCKWELL: Yeah.
SALERNO: Because you can never win against terror. It's unseen. It's invisible. So I think now we have permanent war, and I think it's going to go on until something changes.
ROCKWELL: They thought they had that with the Cold War. They loved the Cold War because they had, again, an enemy that could go on forever. And they were very disappointed. I can remember seeing George H.W. Bush and James Baker being interviewed on television when the Berlin Wall was coming down, and one might think, if just by going by the civics classes, these guys would be having a party. They were just visibly horrified and shocked. I mean, the blood drained out of their faces.
They were two very unhappy guys.
SALERNO: Well, they knew they had a fabricated — a new enemy. I mean, there has to be an enemy.
ROCKWELL: Yeah. It took them a while.
SALERNO: Yeah, it did. It did. Absolutely.
ROCKWELL: So now it's Islam and terror —
SALERNO: Yeah.
ROCKWELL: — and Muslims and —
SALERNO: Right. And that's going — there is no foreseeable end to that type of war, so that's why I think society now has to, in some sense, strike back in a peaceful sense. So I think there are peaceful ways of doing that. Vladimir Lenin was a murderous Communist dictator but had some good insights into strategy, who said that all imperialist wars have to be converted into civil wars. And by that, he actually meant that there has to be a recognition of the class struggle. And in Libertarian class theory, the class struggle is between not gays and straights, blacks and whites, men and women; the class struggle is always between the rulers, the tax consumers, and the ruled or the taxpayers. So I think that as war becomes more and more expensive, as debt piles up, as the middle class gets crushed more and more, at that point, the veil drops or the curtain is drawn back and you see the wizard there, which is the state, and people recognize the state as the exploiter. And so I think at that — the state, of course, is not just going to give up when it is recognized.
ROCKWELL: Well, maybe they will turn it into a civil war. You know, there have been all kinds of interesting reports about FEMA camps, and they are — the government is building big camps —
SALERNO: Right. Right.
ROCKWELL: — but they claim it's for illegal aliens. And it recently came out that there was a plan for — in South Carolina — this is a Federal plan, of course —
SALERNO: Right. Right.
ROCKWELL: — to use a sports stadium to put dissidents in, similar to what Latin America dictatorships have sometimes done. But of course, they would — it would make all the sense in the world for them, from a financial standpoint, to turn on the internal enemy, to turn on the subversives, the — and, in fact, the Boston police —
SALERNO: Yeah.
ROCKWELL: — were calling these peaceful — again, like groups like Veterans for Peace, who have had — these guys have had enough of fighting.
SALERNO: Yes, yes. Exactly.
ROCKWELL: They don't — they're —
SALERNO: Right.
ROCKWELL: But they're labeling them as potential terrorists, as threats to the homeland, two of the phrases that were used in the Boston police's — things that came out in a Freedom of Information Act that — I guess the ACLU had a suit brought against them. But this is the way they see us.
SALERNO: Right. Exactly.
ROCKWELL: Recently now, they're using the no-fly business against people who are dissidents. There was a man who had flown to Hawaii, they wouldn't let him back on the plane because they said that he was now — he was on the no-fly list. And they, of course, don't give you any reason. He's a guy who is a dissident and an anti-war guy.
SALERNO: Right.
ROCKWELL: But now he's going to have to catch a ship or whatever, right?
SALERNO: Right. Right.
ROCKWELL: I mean, of course, it's a huge inconvenience. And they haven't put him in jail yet. But if they put you on the no-fly list and say — and, again, there is no appeal from this.
SALERNO: Right.
ROCKWELL: And they don't have to tell you why you're on it.
SALERNO: That's what's so scary about it.
ROCKWELL: So really, if you're interested in peace, if you're interested in a peaceful civilization and you want human civilization to advance, you want the arts of peace rather than the arts of war — Jefferson put it — you have to be an anarchist.
SALERNO: Absolutely. But I think that that is more of a reason to have any response to the state, once it's recognize what the state really is, to be peaceful. General strikes were one way of doing that, where people would accumulate savings in kind and then somehow coordinate, as the movement spreads, just staying home from work, and that would interrupt tax payments to the state. And it would also — the state is not a monolith. You have corporations — some corporations — they're all competing. Many of them, not all of them, are competing for favors and subsidies from the state. And those corporations that are hurt in war by these tactics will soon turn against their confederates in the state. So in other words, you could fracture the state by sort of this uneven general strike, which will affect some companies more than other companies. Of course, you would also want a mass boycott of any corporations that were directly tied into the welfare/warfare state that were benefiting from it.
And then, of course, you would have companies, like McDonald's and Best Buy, companies that aren't really in that part of the Military-Industrial Complex, they would be hurt by a general strike so they would also turn against the state. So my speculation is that, at some point, you would have sort of an anti-state corporate alliance and that would be a shield to the individual dissidents and anarchists and Libertarians. Because then you would have, say, certain corporations and then the state rulers themselves on one side, and then society, including some corporations that are renegades now because they've been hurt by the general strike, on the other side. So I think, in this sense, you have a civil war. It's peaceful. And you never know how the state is going to react, you know, with these camps that you're talking about potentially in South Carolina and so on. But it's imperative to have them make the first move, to make the first violent move. And then, at that point, we see, everyone sees what they are.
ROCKWELL: It's so important that — I've always made this point, and you, too, that we never use the language of violence. I mean, violence, in fact, is the apparatus of the state. I mean, they are the killers. They are the jailers. They are the beaters and hangers. But for us — not only do I think it's wrong to attempt to use violence —
SALERNO: Right.
ROCKWELL: — but it's also against your own self interest to do so.
SALERNO: And it's counterproductive.
ROCKWELL: That's what the state wants. They're always talking about, oh, there's militias out there. There are people with guns —
SALERNO: Right.
ROCKWELL: — people with bombs. We had this recent thing yesterday about some poor schnook from Bangladesh who FBI and the New York Police Department — of course, this typically happens. They recruit the kid to be a terrorist.
SALERNO: Of course.
ROCKWELL: They train him to be a terrorist. They give him the target, which this time was the New York Fed, I found, very interestingly. Then they give him of phony bomb. He goes to plant, at their instructions, the phony bomb, then they arrest him for terrorism. But I thought it was interesting that they're alleging that the terrorists, quote, unquote, "would be against the New York Fed."
So I wonder if that was actually an attempt to smear all of us who are, of course, opposed to the Fed and the whole banking system as it currently exists, which is, of course, such a pillar of the state.
SALERNO: Yes. I would've thought that was farfetched five years ago, but I don't today. More and more people are recognizing what the Fed is and what it does and how it prints money out of thin air and finances the welfare/warfare state. I believe that that's probably the case. They want to sort of tar the anti Fed types —
ROCKWELL: Yeah.
SALERNO: — with this terrorist sort of veneer.
ROCKWELL: Even though, of course, who were the actual bombers in this world? How many bombs has the U.S. government, in its history of killing, dropped on people or blown up buildings?
SALERNO: Yes, of course.
ROCKWELL: The biggest terrorist apparatus in the world today is the U.S. government.
SALERNO: Of course. We have 9,600 warheads, 5,000 of which are operational. China has 240. Russian has a big stock. But the point is that you can probably kill the world with about 1,000 warheads. We have 5,000 that are active. By dropping 300, you would kill maybe one-third or two-thirds of the people. The rest would just die of disease and hunger and so on. So we can kill the world multiple times over. I mean, it's a terror state, the U.S. state.
ROCKWELL: Even without nuclear weapons, although, of course, they keep threatening to use nuclear weapons against Iran.
SALERNO: Against Iran, absolutely.
ROCKWELL: This is when they say everything is on the table.
SALERNO: Yeah.
ROCKWELL: That's what they mean. They mean atomic weapons.
SALERNO: Of course, they do. Yeah.
ROCKWELL: And they were just heralding themselves yesterday for having this new Bunker Buster bomb that can allegedly go through 200 feet of hardened concrete and then blow up —
SALERNO: Yeah.
ROCKWELL: — blow up whatever is underneath that. And, of course, they're threatening and, of course, wanting to destroy Iran, who they have always disliked, ever sense they threw out the Shah —
SALERNO: Yes, basically, the U.S. —
ROCKWELL: — who was the U.S. —
SALERNO: — puppet.
ROCKWELL: — the U.S. puppet.
SALERNO: The dictator, too.
ROCKWELL: Yeah.
SALERNO: And was it the SAVAK, the secret police?
ROCKWELL: Yes
SALERNO: Notoriously, brutal. And they were trained by the U.S.
ROCKWELL: One of the things that most drove everybody crazy in Iran was, under the U.S.'s aegis, the Shah had, first of all, tremendous money printing going on and price and wage controls. And they used violence to enforce the price and wage controls. And what they would do is, if you were — of course, this didn't happen to the big businessmen in cahoots with the government.
SALERNO: Right.
ROCKWELL: But small business people who were caught charging more than the government said they should charge, they would take them out into the middle of the bizarre, the business area —
SALERNO: Right.
ROCKWELL: — and beat the soles of their feet off with bamboo poles, in other words crippling them.
SALERNO: Yes. Yes.
ROCKWELL: This is never discussed. But one of the things the Ayatollah Khomeini promised when he came back, he was going to get rid of the price and wage controls, stop the inflation, and stop any of the murderous and vicious punishments against a businessman. I mean, he was far more free market —
SALERNO: Right.
ROCKWELL: — then the Shah.
SALERNO: The parallel with the Chinese Communists. Chiang Kai-shek was destroying the currency and rigorously enforcing wage and price controls to the point of actually hanging people. And the Communists came in and promised to stop it, and they did stop it.
ROCKWELL: Yes.
SALERNO: And we were, of course, supporting Kai-shek.
ROCKWELL: Yeah. And so this is, you know —
— who are interested in opposing the violent state, I always liked your proposal about use the banks as little as possible.
SALERNO: Yeah, yeah. My last point would be to just take the cash out of the bank. The state hates cash. They're trying to get — completely get rid of it in some of the Scandinavian countries. In Italy, you can't have any transaction, I think, for more than $200, or whatever it is, total transaction in cash. So they're phasing out — under the guise of cracking down on tax evaders, they're phasing out cash. And that's happening in the U.S.
Think about it. The biggest denomination we have now is the $100 bill, which is worth about $20.00 in 1970 dollars.
ROCKWELL: Yeah. They also say, of course, the terrorist use cash.
SALERNO: Of course. Right. Right. So, yeah, you're almost — if you use cash in a transaction, you're almost a suspected terrorist.
ROCKWELL: Of course, terrorists do everything. I remember a few years ago when they were — they claimed that cigarette smugglers who were buying cigarettes in North Carolina where the state taxes are low, and bringing them to New York —
SALERNO: Right.
ROCKWELL: — were terrorists.
So anything can mean — terrorism means something the state doesn't like.
SALERNO: Yes. That's what it's come to mean now. But, unfortunately, you have the association of 9/11 behind it, right?
ROCKWELL: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's why they had to have been so happy about 9/11.
SALERNO: Yeah
ROCKWELL: I mean, it should be their holiday. It gave them the ability to expand so much. And, of course, we've seen the state has been expanding, maybe ever since 1776, with a few push backs. But since 9/11, the thing has just grown at a humongous rate.
SALERNO: I mean, 9/11 is almost a holiday now, just like Labor Day, which is really Trade Union Day, and Memorial Day, which is really War Day. So the state has a third major holiday that celebrates itself and its murdering and so on.
ROCKWELL: It's always so interesting. Ron Paul, I remember, was criticized for this: You can't discuss motives with 9/11. In every other kind of crime, we always want to know, what's the motive of the person?
SALERNO: Absolutely.
ROCKWELL: Why did they do this?
SALERNO: That's right.
ROCKWELL: But you're not allowed to look into the motive of 9/11. You're just supposed to believe that they hated us because we're free and rich and wonderful and sweet.
SALERNO: Yeah, which is the most ridiculous thing for an — an intellectual would subject that to critical rationality. But, I mean, there's — how can anyone accept that at face value? I mean, obviously, they have some sort of grievance. Whether it's justified or not is another question. Let's look at it. And that's what Ron Paul wanted to do, and what the state doesn't want anybody to do.
ROCKWELL: Because, of course, then it questions foreign policy.
SALERNO: Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. It brings foreign policy up.
ROCKWELL: These are important days for Libertarians. I feel like we're actually making progress, especially among young people, that young people, smart kids, idealistic kids know they're being lied to in the classroom, they know they're being lied to by the media, and they're looking for the truth; and maybe in the rest of society. I think, if we think of 9/11 as sort of the low point in recent years of opposition to the state, it seems to me we've grown mightily. This is why they're worried. This is why they're bringing in the drones. This is why they want to spy on everybody. They are worried.
SALERNO: Yes.
ROCKWELL: They're constantly concerned. I always think of them as a bunch of fleas controlling a big dog. They're always afraid they're going to get scratched off.
SALERNO: Right.
ROCKWELL: So it seems to me more and more young people — and everything that we should add — I mean, everything is done by minorities.
SALERNO: Yes. Of course.
ROCKWELL: You don't actually need half the population plus one to do things.
SALERNO: No, of course not.
ROCKWELL: Minorities, for either good or ill, bring about everything.
SALERNO: Everything, right.
ROCKWELL: So we only need a minority, and the intellectual minority for freedom. But I feel like it's happening. Not that this is not a horrendous task ahead of us, because it is, but it seems to me we've got a lot more people on our side than was true, say, 10 years ago.
SALERNO: Oh, absolutely. I mean, you can just see it. You can see — Ron Paul was one of the biggest influences on expanding the liberty movement and getting it across in a way that made people want to look more at — and educate themselves more, to look to the intellectual side of liberty. I think that was what was so important about the Ron Paul movement.
ROCKWELL: Recently, Norm Singleton —
SALERNO: Yes.
ROCKWELL: — who is one of Ron's aides, sent me an article where Murray, back around the time of Ron's running for the Libertarian Party nomination in '87 and '88, it had predicted exactly this, that Ron Paul would be the guy to bring about a mass movement for liberty, the first one, certainly, since the 19th century, maybe even earlier, that he was actually going to be able to mobilize young people and mobilize people all over the world! So Murray saw it.
SALERNO: He saw it.
ROCKWELL: That's just typical, right?
SALERNO: As he saw so many things.
ROCKWELL: Yeah.
SALERNO: Yeah.
ROCKWELL: Yeah. And so, it's true, he has millions of followers. I mean, all in foreign countries as well as this country.
SALERNO: Foreign countries, absolutely. In Turkey, I mean, there were people from all over Europe that were asking me about Ron Paul, and how involved I was with him, and had I met him and so on. It's just wonderful to behold.
ROCKWELL: I remember Bob Higgs, who was at a previous Turkish conference, talked about driving around after the conference, he and his wife, and they came to this little town and there was Ron Paul signs in it.
Ron Paul for president. So he started asking about it. As soon as they found out that he knew Ron Paul, he said he was like king of the village.
I mean, he was like —
— that everybody was thrilled. And Helio Beltrao and the guys in Brazil —
SALERNO: Yeah, in Brazil.
ROCKWELL: — say the same thing, that Ron could practically be elected president of Brazil. I mean, he's got a huge — (laughing) — a huge following of young people there.
SALERNO: It's wonderful. It's wonderful.
ROCKWELL: All over Latin America and Asia and Europe. So these ideas are becoming more and more potent. Well, they're already potent —
SALERNO: Yes. Yeah.
ROCKWELL: — but, I mean, more and more popular. So I think we've got some good times ahead of us. Not that we don't need to do a lot of work to spread these ideas. But because they're true, they have power. Whereas, the government's ideas are all, of course, a pack of lies.
SALERNO: Right. Exactly. And then the truth will out. I mean, over time, the truth will out.
ROCKWELL: Well, Joe, thanks so much for coming on the show today. And we'll link to your great article about war and praxeology, also your last podcast you gave about sticking it to the bank by —
SALERNO: OK, yes.
ROCKWELL: — by using cash to the extent you can.
SALERNO: Right. That's right.
ROCKWELL: And just one point about how they hate it — and I'm a Salerno-ian, and this is another thing — but when you go to the bank and you get a significant amount of cash out, $1000 or $2000, they hate your guts. I mean, you would think —
— that they wouldn't care. But even tellers are, "zzz," you know, giving you the evil eye. So it's so important to do it and to use your cash —
SALERNO: Yes.
ROCKWELL: — when you go to the grocery store or buy gasoline or all your daily transactions. It really bothers them.
SALERNO: Yes, it does. It does, because that is the one thing that could bring the banks down because they're fractional-reserve institutions, as we know. And it would take days and days and days and months for the Fed — if the banking system collapsed — to print up the cash and then to distribute it. And it would be phenomenally costly. So they don't — they want to suppress cash for that reason also.
ROCKWELL: I remember back when all the hysteria about 2000, the year 2000 and whether all the computers and everything were to stop working in the year 2000 —
SALERNO: Yes.
ROCKWELL: — Y2K, that it came out that the Fed had printed up an extra $50 billion in cash — (laughing) — so they could distribute it to the ATMs.
SALERNO: Right.
ROCKWELL: An additional $50 billion in cash. It was all over the country. And then they, I guess, extinguished it or something afterwards. But it was very, very funny — (laughing).
So use cash.
SALERNO: Right.
ROCKWELL: Undermine the banks. Tell the truth about the government. Tell the truth about war. Tell the truth about the fact that they're parasites and they're living on — and that we're the host.
SALERNO: Yes.
ROCKWELL: This is our weapon. And, of course, any police state, like the U.S., employs a vast number of agent provocateurs. This is true. This is not invented by the U.S. Ancient Rome had them.
SALERNO: Yeah, right.
ROCKWELL: And I'm sure ancient Babylon or whatever did, too. So if you're ever in any kind of a group, any kind of a Libertarian group — this happens even in reading groups — and there's somebody coming in there advocating violence, toss him out.
SALERNO: Yes, exactly. Right.
ROCKWELL: Because even if he's not an agent of the state, he's evil. But you want nothing to do with him. But typically, these people are agents of the state. They're paid to go in and try to smear people by getting them to start talking about acts of violence. So these things are wrong. And, again, the state is the locus of violence in society, not private crime. And so we should just not have anything to do with anybody who advocates that kind of thing. But use the truth. Get everybody to read Rothbard —
SALERNO: Yes, right.
ROCKWELL: — Salerno.
SALERNO: Yeah. Thanks.
ROCKWELL: And this is the way that we have a chance to win against this apparatus.
I also think that there's never been a bureaucracy the size of the U.S. government in the history of the world. I mean, this thing is the biggest, richest —
SALERNO: Oh, absolutely.
ROCKWELL: — bureaucracy ever to exist. So maybe we'll find out more about what Mises and Rothbard had to say about bureaucracy as we —
SALERNO: Yes.
ROCKWELL: — see the state be unable to do things.
SALERNO: Right. The bigger the bureaucracy, the more inefficient it is. The more activities that it takes under its purview, it can't calculate, so it introduces greater and greater chaos into society. Of course, that impoverishes us.
ROCKWELL: Intellectually, these are interesting days. Morally, they're very, very important days to be working for freedom, and writing about freedom, talking about freedom. The bad guys won't like us for that. All the more important to do it.
SALERNO: Yes, absolutely. Of course.
ROCKWELL: Joe, thanks for all the work you do.
SALERNO: Thank you.
ROCKWELL: It's great.
