Thanks for the link here, David. I have also commented (mostly outside my area of expertise) on the staged Goldman spectacle. You have covered that topic well, and appropriately. Sounds like Peter Schiff's take covers my own view, as the points you summarized come very close to my analysis of the subject. It's striking how democracies under pressure so comfortably take on the tactics of police states!

My pleasure, Laurence. Thanks for the comment and your post!

I will address the other points in the Goldman post comments (I fear you may be onto something here).
