Presidential Debate is on!

There was a Communist Scare in the early 20th Century before and during WW1. I am not sure how it started exactly. I believe it was more of a response to Marxism itself, but I really don't know where it started in the USA.

I am actually expecting Jaxel to fill that one out. I know some history, but I am more Political Science and Rhetoric than History.
 
Well technically, Britain hoodwinked America into Europe's war in 1801. Ever since then, America has been fighting Europe's Wars for them. How did it happen? The Barbary Wars that the Marines so gladly proclaim in their Hymn, "From the Halls of Montezuma... To the shores of Tripoli". What were the Barbary Wars about? Piracy. The waterways to the Barbary Coast were under the reign of Britain, so all trade in the area was under taxation by the British government. American companies too were trading the areas, and they were paying the taxes to Britain. But what happened is that ships in the area were under siege by the Barbary Pirates; it was an issue between Europe and the pirates; and the American government had nothing to do with it. American companies were starting to pull out of the area because the cost was too high having to deal with Pirates.

So how did Britain hoodwink the American government to fight their battle against the Barbary Pirates for them? The British Government told the American companies (and ONLY them) that they would get free TAX-FREE reign over the Barbary Coast. They were free to trade without having to pay anything to the British; an offer the private american companies couldn't refuse. That kept American citizens in the area. Unfortunately, due to the upset balance of power by Napolean, by taking out the Knights Hospitaliers (very much the way the United States has created an upset balance of power in Iraq by taking out Hussein), the Pirates were growing in power. It wasn't long before some american ships were captured and held hostage. However, it was Jefferson's and America's policy to never negotiate with terrorists.

So led to the FIRST TIME EVER in the history of the United States, where the Marines were used to fighting for a private company unrelated to the American Government. As we also know, it wasn't the last time. Our military has been fighting for the needs of private individuals ever since, and we were caught hook, line and sinker into a war that has been going on for over a thousand years...

Speaking of that, my FAVORITE Maybury book...

Amazon.com: The Thousand Year War in the Mideast: How It Affects You Today (An Uncle Eric Book): Richard J. Maybury, Jane A. Williams: Books
 
Yeah... unfortunately, Maybury really only has 4 books worth reading... Most of them are financial or political books and they really dont interest me. His four books worth reading; in the order you should be reading them:

1. Ancient Rome: How It Affects You Today (written before 9/11)
- A book about how every government strives to be the next Rise of the Roman empire. So much so that the German Empire was called the "Third Reich"... or Third Rise of the Roman Empire. America would of course by the Fourth Rise of the Roman Empire. It also explains the roots of Fascism and how the famous "Roman Peace Era" was actually the bloodiest time in Roman history. All his history books essentially stem from this one; so its the most important one, even if his ideas aren't as fleshed out yet.

2. The Thousand Year War in the Mideast: How It Affects You Today (written before 9/11)
3. World War I: The Rest of the Story and How It Affects You Today
4. World War II: The Rest of the Story and How It Affects You Today

He also has a spiralbind book called "Pearl Harbor : Roosevelt's Secret Treason", but its way way out of print so you'll never find it. I read his quarterly reports where he discusses finances, politics and how world and american government are repeating the same mistakes over and over and failing to learn from history. He's pretty accurate and its really amazing how he predicts even the smallest changes in the financial industry before it happens.
 
If only the world adopted my bacon plan after ww1 everything would have been avoided. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
