About Me
- Neil Clark
- I am a journalist, writer & broadcaster, based in the U.K. I am the author of 'Stranger than Fiction', a biography of Edgar Wallace, available here http://goo.gl/o2cZze , 'Champion Jump Horse Racing Jockeys 1945 to Present Day' and 'Flying Ace'. I have been a regular contributor to newspapers and magazines in UK & overseas including The Daily and Sunday Express, The Guardian, The Week, Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, The Spectator. My work has appeared in publications as diverse as The American Conservative, Woman's Weekly, and the Racing Post. I am strongly opposed to the neo-con war agenda -and believe in the urgent necessity of a left-right anti-war coalition. On domestic issues I support re-nationalisation of the railways and public utilities (I co-founded of The Campaign for Public Ownership), free care for the elderly, a free NHS including the restoration of NHS dentistry, and protection of the Green Belt and the countryside. I am anti-lockdown. FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER @NEILCLARK66 and @MightyMagyar

according to spiro agnew:
The United States, for all its faults, is still the greatest nation in the country.
whos to doubt it!
I'm having issues with hearing the broadcast, but I'll gladly put in my oar on this one. I don't know whether you mean the US government, or the combination of government and citizenry. I'll start with the government. Even then, it depends on what you mean by "great." If by "great" you mean "effective at securing the rights of its citizens," then I consider the Constitution and Bill of Rights to be a great success.
I consider America's willingness to say the Constitution means things it plainly doesn't mean to be one of its great failings. America has basically rejected the Constitutional idea of the federal government being limited to strictly enumerated powers, and used the "promote the General Welfare" clause in the Preamble to justify unlimited expansion of the federal government.
For self-government to succeed requires a certain amount of moral capital. Does America still have it? I don't know.

Dear Neil,
I also made a small effort and wrote and article on the topic of Chilean 9/11, but the westen media influence doesnt promote the issue. You can publish this as well on the blog:

what the US has done:
revealing comments by americans:
'“Never let a serious crisis go to waste. What I mean by that is it’s a good opportunity to do things you thought you could not do.” Rahm Emanuel
“If we don’t shell out billions in tax payer money to build a new privatized healthcare system in Libya since Chris Stevens helped destroy the world class single-payer one they had, the terrorists win!” paraphrase Dr. Thomas Burke, Chief of the Division of Global Health and Human Rights in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH)'

destroy Libya using US taxmoney, then use taxmoney to build a privatised health system so someone can become filthy rich...thats the american way, aided by useful jihadi patsies
