Guy John: 'Frank Chodorov On Political Change (1953)'


Source:Guy John- Frank Chodorov, talking about progressivism, in 1953. 
"Various excerpts combined from the 1953 lecture "Rotarian Socialism", which can be found at ISI.org

"Everybody has opinions on international subjects, because the newspapers have opinions on them, and the readers like to be 'in the swim."' - Frank Chodorov

"All this concern about people who don't vote, for instance. Well, in Communist countries they get 98% or 99.4% of the eligible voters out to the polls, to vote for a single slate of candidates. Why so much concern with voting? I think it's because in Communist countries, politics is their religion." - Ron Paul, 1976"

Euro News: 'Israel Likud Party Leadership Primary Hampered by Technical Problems'

"Euro News  Severe computer problems have delayed results of an election within Israel's right-wing Likud party to decide candidates for parliamentary elections in January.

Voting for the 123,000 party members was kept open for an extra two hours to compensate.

Despite the technical breakdowns at several polling stations, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sarah were able to cast their ballots at a settlement north of Jerusalem.

Some candidates have called for the election to be postponed completely.  The electoral commission is also considering allowing an extra day of voting on Monday.

Political analysts are watching to see if the party leans further to the right because of public anger over last week's truce deal which ended Israeli airstrikes on Gaza." 

From Euro News 

"Euronews (styled on-air in lowercase as euronews) is a European television news network, headquartered in Lyon, France. The network began broadcasting on 1 January 1993 and covers world news from a European perspective.
