Ron Paul Institute: Bill Kristol's Empire of Death

[sailingaway]

Non-interventionists can learn a great deal by observing when the differing factions of the neo-conservative enterprise take to exposing each other.

Take the Left-neocon New Republic, a magazine that hemorrhages money at such a rate that it literally had a hard time being given away until Facebook kid mega-millionaire Chris Hughes decided to snatch it up with pocket change as a child's toy. Hughes was a deep-pockets campaign supporter of the hyper-interventionist Obama, and in his new "serious" publishing toy no-doubt sees endless opportunities to feature "serious" writers on the faux Left to explain to us barbarians how wonderful the next deadly "humanitarian intervention" is turning out to be.

Nevertheless, the New Republic today features an enormously instructive graphic explaining to its readers "Bill Kristol's Galactic Empire." In this colorful chart we see the endless projects and think tanks and publications and "emergency committees" and "liberation committees" that count Bill Kristol as either a very influential member or leader. No doubt each of these comes with a healthy paycheck for Kristol.

Never mind that every position he has advocated has turned out to be a disaster for the United States. Never mind that nearly every one of his predictions has turned out to be outrageously and even hilariously incorrect. Being a neo-conservative means never being wrong, no matter how wrong you are.

...

Though purporting to advocate the spread of democracy worldwide, they are disdainful of majority opinion in the US, preferring to adhere to the Straussian view that the non-elites must be lied to continuously.

They provide well-paid sinecures to "intellectuals" to argue the case for a permanent revolution to be fought by the US to the benefit of the military industrial complex.

Love it.

I have completely stopped call them neoconservatives, because it's a misnomer. They're neo-Trotskyites or, for short, neo-Trots. That's what they are and I'm sticking to it.

See the latest Neo[Trot] Watch from the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity, on Bill Kristol's vast domains. He uses them to promote perpetual war, the police state, the corporate state, the welfare state, the Fed, and the Republican party.

And they seem to have left The American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research (AEI) off of the list. Kristol has as many tentacles as Goldman Sachs.
