   There are four people on stage, only one, Lind, appears to be articulate. Who let those other guys onto the stage? Is this a generational thing? Lind has something to say, he says it, he says it well, he invites the other to agree or disagree. The others mumble, stutter, look off into the distance and add absolutely nothing memorable to the discussion. Oh, one of the young guys tells Lind he thinks one of his statements is a “crock”. That was all he could say. There was so much intellectually asymmetry here. Lind came off as brilliant speaker and thinker, the others as developmentally disabled.

   The full quote is something like:

   The moral level of war is the most powerful level, it is THE policy and grand strategy that is in accord with the realities of the 21st century. The tragedy is that the Washington establishment will not see this, because it is made up primarily of people whose most important thing is their personal career, and if you are a member of the establishment and you suggest any change you instantly cease to be a member.

   So the question I will leave with you is, which falls first, the foreign policy establishment, or the country?

   Just like Binney is saying, keep the problems going so the money keeps flowing, that is the vision statement and modus operandi of the establishment.

   Lind’s current columns can be found here.

   Also spot on is his 1998 talk: Control of Thought and Speech

   Bill Lind deconstructs the deconstructionists of the Frankfurt School, explaining their “critical theory” and exposing their efforts to translate economic Marxism into cultural terms. There is a civil war for the soul of the West. It is a cold war for our culture. The Left has defined the rules by which this war will be fought, and it is called political correctness.
