Bunning dislikes the Fed. That's why Rand Paul said he wouldn't run against him because he respects Senator Bunning.

Oh yeah and he is on his way out now right?
Figures.

I think he's obviously somewhat familiar with that book, even if he just knows the title and what it's basically about, for him to throw out that reference like that.

This is good news. If he's really anywhere close to where G. Edward Griffin is coming from there, then I'm actually a little surprised that he hasn't already endorsed Rand, and I half expect that he eventually will.

Interesting. I see Mullins' book is in my school library, and it's only 190 pp. long (I don't remember what Griffins' is, but it's easily 600pp.). But that doesn't mean that Griffins didn't still copy parts of his book from Mullins without attribution. I'll check it out.

That interview also seems pretty sketchy when Mullins says that he researched the Fed in the Library of Congress and found that they didn't have a single book on the subject. I think there's no possible way that that's true.

Eustace Mullins


Many people try to keep their distance from Eustace Mullins because of his anti-Jewish remarks.



According to analyst Chip Berlet of Political Research Associates, Mullins is quite simply, "the most vicious anti-Semite on the face of the planet."

Eustace Clarence Mullins, born in 1923, is the author of a biography of Ezra Pound (a copy exists in the University of Waterloo library). But he is also the author of numerous truly bizarre tracts published by small Christian publishers. Some of these, like the excerpt recently posted and then removed by Kitchener store owner Rothe, are critiques of the banking system. Berlet says, "Mullins masks his anti-Semitism with a critique of the [U. S.] Federal Reserve System."

In a 1952 book, Mullins wrote a book blaming Paul Warburg, Bernard Baruch, and other U. S. Jews for drowning Americans in debt. According to Mullins, The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 put the nation's banking reserves in the hands of the "Jewish International Bankers" for the purpose of carrying out a plan for world dictatorship.

In a 1955 article entitled, "Jews mass poison American children", Mullins claimed that the polio vaccine, invented by Jonas Salk, was a poison because it contains live polio germs. Other books depict Jews as parasites, living off their gentile hosts. In what has to be one of the most bizarre of Mullins' beliefs, it has been reported by L. J. Davis that Mullins has claimed that the phrase "Have a nice day" is a code for Jews to begin killing Christians.

Mullins' writings have been adopted wholesale by violent extremists in the US, such as the Posse Comitatus. Should we not be more than a little worried to see those writings appearing in the window of a store in Kitchener?

Antisemitism: evidence and allegations

Mullins has been accused of antisemitism by the Anti-Defamation League. In 1968, Mullins authored a tract entitled The Biological Jew (Staunton, Va., Faith and Service Books, Aryan League of America, 1968). The tract includes the following statement about Nazi antisemitism: "Nazism is simply this — a proposal that the German people rid themselves of the parasitic Jews. The gentile host dared to protest against the continued presence of the parasite, and attempted to throw it off." The book also claims that Jews "drink the blood of an innocent gentile child" in religious ceremonies, and that this practice represents the essence of Judaism. [4]

He has also been featured as a guest on The Political Cesspool, a radio show.

Not the first time two people research a subject, come to the same conclusions, and then claim one plagiarized the other.

Damn, kicking some ass there.

Too bad it's not McConnel retiring, then Paul and Bunning could tag team from Kentucky.

Bunning also gave a really good interview on CNBC today regarding Bernanke's confirmation. Unfortunately the hosts seemed pretty brain-dead.
