Hollywood and Broadway Actress Christine Ebersole surprises (and impresses) a lot of people with the following entry to her blog, Dining with the Oligarchy. I wanted to make sure that you get the chance to read it, so here it is in its entirety. Be sure to also go read the many excellent follow-up comments left at her blog in response.

When corporate greed goes too far (hat-tip: Glugzy):
5 CommentsMEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The distillers of Sweden’s Absolut vodka have withdrawn an advertisement run in Mexico that angered many U.S. citizens by idealizing an early 19th century map showing chunks of the United States as Mexican.
The billboard ad has the slogan “In an Absolut World” slapped over a pre-1848 map showing California, Arizona and other U.S. states as Mexican territory. Those states were carved out of what had been Mexican lands until that year.
We really have become a nation of sheep in the USA. No less can be said of Europe. How has this happened? Well, allow me to illustrate with two videos from an unlikely source — one of FOXNews’ chief commentators, Judge Andrew Napolitano, author of A Nation of Sheep
On this just passed Easter holiday, I was confronted by an obstinate, yet well-meaning friend that asked me where all the money would come from to run the U.S.A. if we abolished the Federal Income Tax. I looked at her and told her: “From the billions of dollars in taxes that come from Corporations, but first we have to get rid of the Federal Reserve.” But, of course, I left out the part about the hundred or more taxes that are collected across the United States every single minute of every hour on products ranging from cigarettes to the cell phone you use. We are easily the most taxed citizens in the history of the United States, and yet we are told we are in constant and growing debt. How can this be when we are also the hardest working people in the world?

“You know, gentlemen, that I do not owe any personal income tax. But nevertheless, I send a small check, now and then, to the Internal Revenue Service out of the kindness of my heart.” -David Rockefeller
Because I can tell by the relatively paltry response from only a handful of regular readers here at the Anvil to my recent posting attempting to shed light on the true nature of the Federal Income Tax, the IRS and the U.S. Federal Reserve, I believe it is now time to educate you all on just how bankers have been screwing things up and cheating us all for hundreds of years, to the point that now the richest and hardest working nation on Earth stands on the brink of another Depression.

For years now I have warned over and over that our continuing ignorance of history as a people would come back to haunt the United States. Our leaders insist that Islam is a peaceful religion and that only Al Qaeda and “radical Islamic extremists” (thanks for that extreme phrase, John McCain) are to blame for Islamic terrorism. But I pay attention to history and this is why I won’t shut up.

It’s Open Thread Sunday here at the Anvil again already, but today I want you to go read an article by British Author Paul Weston over at Gates of Vienna (hat-tip: Sounder).
Here’s a taste:
11 CommentsWhen Francis Fukuyama wrote The End of History and the Last Man in 1993, it was to argue that Western liberal democracy and free market economics meant an end to warfare within the west, and by default, the end of history.
I just read a comment or two that got me angry again because of the continuing audacity of dhimmified fools, liars and the ignorant, so I’ve decided to toss the ’smoking gun’ before the jury this morning. I recommend you buy a copy of Inside Islam: A Guide for Catholics by Daniel Ali & Robert Spencer. Starting in question and answer 37 of this book you will stumble into a fact many of you probably are not aware of.

From Yahoo:
9 CommentsThe Kingdom starts with a montage sweeping through the dustry sands of Saudi Arabia, briefly detailing the kingdom, the US, and its long history with oil, from 1932 to 2001. While that may sound boring, or even yawn-worthy, the music and editing on this sequence breeds more anticipation than some action movies. Historical video and audio clips are laid out on a clear timeline, and while no brief mention of an event can do it justice, it’s a quick and excellent short primer for the movie. There’s nothing quite as distracting as trying to follow along with everything in a film, especially a documentary, when you don’t know the background.
Lady Predator brought this to my attention and then I started digging. As I sensed, there is much more to the LaBeet story then what first appears and wouldn’t you know it — there does seem to be an Islamic connection. Here we are smack-dab in the Islamic month of Ramadan (began September 13th) and one Muslim is caught with an AK-47 in a Michigan park just days ago before he can do any harm, then not long after, Shawn LaBeet kills (supposedly with an AK-47) 1 police officer and wounds 3 others in Miami and seemed prepared to do it by accounts of his body armor and beard. And now there is this connection between Shawn LaBeet and a blood-related mass killer who hijacked a plane to Cuba and has been on the the FBI wanted list ever since: Ishmael Ali LaBeet. Ishmael Ali. Bingo.

Are you in college or know a current student? Are you taking any Middle East Studies courses? If so, then read on! From Jihad Watch:
1 CommentProfessor Carl Ernst of the University of North Carolina recently saw fit to include a trip to Jihad Watch — in a disparaging context, of course — in his “Introduction to Islamic Civilization” course. Ernst thus demonstrates how threatened he is by the challenge we represent to the Middle East Studies academic establishment and the propaganda it purveys in our nation’s universities.
It’s the 1930’s all over again, folks, and Foehammer’s Anvil is On the Air!
In line with my passion for history and my awareness of how applicable our lessons from WW II are to our struggle today, I decided to dip once more into the vintage war posters and find just the right fit for the new Foehammer Podcast, especially to represent my feed over on iTunes:
And here’s the original:
You can see now why this was the perfect choice, but let’s add a little sound for the full nostalgic effect:
