I’ve appeared on Russia Today Moscow to discuss the end of Kadafi’s rule in Libya.

Speaking of RT News, I highly recommend these programs: Adam vs. The Man, The Alyona Show, CrossTalk, Keiser Report, and The Big Picture. In case you’re wondering, all of these shows are hosted by Americans (who were obviously brainwashed by the commies to undermine our way of life. LOL).

  Remember the good old days, when the Russians snuck a listen to Radio Free Europe? Now we’re the ones living under state-controlled media, sneaking a listen to RTTV and AJE.

They kill journalists there. And RTTV is controlled by the Russian government. It’s a mouthpiece for typical state-endorsed pro-Russia views.

You make some interesting points. Is it a victory if there’s no surrender? Revolutions are indeed messy business.

This got me thinking back to your book. I finished the AAM last week, and have lent it to a friend so I don’t have it handy, but when this happens in America, will it look about the same as that Libyan footage? Rough looking criminal types over-running the White House compound, Camp David, the Pentagon? Will the prez and vp be in the wind? Will the army fire on the people, or join them? What statues will be toppled, I wonder?

And most urgently, do you think Oct 6 will be the start of it? If people really don’t leave until something gives, and nothing gives, I suspect it very well could be. I have my fingers crossed that it is…

You say (in the book) we can’t plan for the aftermath, but we should plan for it anyway. Wish I knew how (other than stocking up on ammo…)

My irony meter just went off the scale.

Definitely not like America! We only kill foreign journalists.
