3193 RIDING THE SANDPAPER RAINBOW - Call In Show - January 27th, 2016

Question 1: [1:28] - “I saw a lot of European leftist misconceptions dwindle away just to be replaced by non-stop fear mongering and a dangerous "friend-foe" mentality towards those of the same cultural and historical background. People received real means of causing massive physical harm or even death to those "traitors" whose political preferences are wrong, some can ruin lives or careers just by pointing them as a "separatist" out loud to the right people. Everyone is directed against each other through the heavy abuse of state propaganda. Do you think this is a possibility for the Western world? The rise of the new governments to replace those that are failing, just to use the huge already existing apparatus for oppression and militarization? Or is it more specific to societies with a historically different ideological leaning?”Question 2: [1:01:15] - “I understand what fiat currency is, what I don't understand is; Does the number of digits in all the bank accounts in our country match the amount of currency in circulation? And maybe you could explain negative interest to me?”Question 3: [1:22:33] - “I consider myself a scientific thinker, and like to dabble in some philosophy, I have also worked hard to maintain my Christian faith while doing this (an effort which most of my colleagues have seemed to abandon for one reason or another). I'm looking to challenge myself by talking to you. The scope of the conversation, I would prefer to revolve around the question "how can someone be both logical and a Christian" as this question seems to come up in my day to day life to whomever is unlucky enough to ask me; but if we divert, we divert. In what ways does having a Christian faith preclude a person from being scientifically minded?”
