I think this needs to be put in the Political section. We don't seem to have a tinfoil hat section...and it has very little to do with the CANADIAN military.
Here's a quick lesson for you Guest....Bush is the President of the United States. Harper is the Prime Minister of CANADA. Similarly, the Federal Reserve is the central bank in the United States. The Bank of Canada is the central bank in CANADA. Lastly, we are not at war in Iraq. That is something that the United States, a different country, is currently engaged in. CANADA is at war in Afghanistan. We even have our own uniforms and flags. Isn't that cute?
Usually on bulletin boards such as these, people post news items then comment upon them. They don't generally post other people's opinion pieces, without any sort of preamble, and expect them to be taken seriously. Hell, if I pulled Galt's speech out of Atlas Shrugged and posted it on Army.ca without any sort of preamble or commentary, I'd get the same sort of comments. Polemics only works if you can bring the people you're arguing with back to a common shared set of principles, and explain why their interpretation is wrong. If you just start throwing long diatribes at people, they tend to tune out. Great, you feel this way. Why is that relevant to my life?

Wait! There is a Canadian angle!
The entire screed against fiat money and the role of the Federal Reserve is an almost word for word repeat of the Canadian "Social Credit" movement. Of course the theory makes just as much sense here as it would in the US (or Cambodia, for that matter).
You can usually recognize Social Credit candidates, they have nice attractive folders and handouts and "Jiffy Pop" hats........ ;D

Hm. It seems our tinfoil-coiffed friend here is merely reposting the articles from the "Muckraker Report" verbatim.

Notwithstanding the stance of the articles, I'm not sure this is kosher. If the OP is the original author, he is spamming, and if he is not, this is pl agerism.
Oh Moderators... cleanup in Aisle Six....
