Melei wins in Argentina, JFK Assassination, The French Foreign Legion, and more
Doug Casey's Take [ep.#291]
In this podcast episode, Doug and I discuss Milei’s win in Argentina and what it means.
But first, we start with our regular reflection on the Encyclopedia Britannica’s This day in history covering the JFK assassination, Margret Thatcher, and Charles de Gaulle
JFK assassination and Doug's take on the Warren Commission report. We also discuss other presidential assassinations and the role of mental instability in such events.
The French Foreign Legion and Charles de Gaulle's leadership. We discuss the Legion's history and its role in various conflicts, the attempted coup, and share stories of Legionnaires we’ve met.
Margaret Thatcher's impact on the UK economy
Milei & Argentina - We discuss the rising social tensions and the political beliefs of an anarcho-capitalist. We also analyze the potential economic impact of the recent Argentine election.
Thank you both. It was refreshing to hear an optimistic outlook for Argentina. I share in that cautious optimism, knowing that Milei has a lot of resistance to overcome with the Argentine version of the deep state. I sincerely hope and pray for his success. One of my friends at church emigrated to the United States from Argentina back in the 90’s and he is very excited for his country for the first time in decades. As a professional pilot unlikely to ever fully retire, I am beginning to look around at other countries and their aviation potential. Currently, compared to the U.S. , no one has the kind of freedom we have here to travel in a private airplane. Maybe Milei and his reforms will result an expansion of freedom in general aviation, very optimistic, I know, but you gotta have hope.
The cia, fbi, and corrupt military murdered JFK. Langley et Quantico delenda est. I wrote a bit about that topic a few weeks ago, and again today. :-)
Milei strikes me as a young Ron Paul type. The last presidential candidate for whom I voted, in 1988, was Ron Paul when he ran as a Libertarian. Can you imagine how many things would be different today had Ron been elected then instead of George HW Bush? It would be epic. Perhaps Argentina will see good things.
