On the February 3, 2013 episode of Exposing Faux Capitalism, I covered the following issues:
More on my critique of Austrian economics, several interesting callers (on the hosting opportunities at Oracle Broadcasting, on Fukushima, infiltration of the churches and Lee Rogers), and Jan Helfeld joins me for the last segment to briefly discuss his interviews at youtube.com/janhelfeld.
[...] previously interviewed Jan in the last segment of my February 3, 2013 episode of Exposing Faux Capitalism, about his recent interviews with prominent Washington politicians and [...]
That’s really interesting, Mr. Erb – as you are one of several that have viciously attacked the free-market movement and definitely DO believe in various money distribution schemes. Silvio Gesell and Major Douglas come to mind.
I guess all that is bringing you together is your hatred of different free-market sites like Mises.org, The Daily Bell or Lew Rockwell. I’ve noticed the articles you’ve linked to the Daily Bell defaming them and as a regular reader of DB, your dishonesty is quite upsetting.
What is even more upsetting is that you are apparently paying Google to link your articles directly to Daily Bell cites on Google so that when people search for the Daily Bell, they get a couple of your most malicious articles and some others as well.
That’s the only explanation. Otherwise I have to believe that a few defamatory articles by you are searched so much that they appear on the front page of the DB Google page day after day and week after week.
Not a single other article of yours is that prominent. Only a couple that attack DB. This is a statistical impossibility – a real one unlike your accusations about DB’s numbers.
So my question to you, is this: Who is paying you and why? Who is giving you the funds?
It costs a lot to maintain those kinds of defamatory Google links week after week and month after month. Did you pool your resources to do this?
What kind of dishonest person does not reveal this to his readers? This sounds more like some kind of government Intel job than a few guys concerned about legitimate journalism – which you are not anyway.
Who are you REALLY, Mr. Erb, and where are you getting your money? Who is funding your “little operation”?
Here’s a bet: I doubt you publish and even more strongly I doubt you will come up with a legitimate answer. What you’re doing is beyond questionable. It’s unethical on a number of levels.
The burden of proof falls on the one making an assertion — not on others to disprove it. Since it was the DB that repeatedly made assertions of such high web hits, it’s up to them to prove their assertions.
You’re asserting I’m paying Google, so prove your case.
Unlike your unproven assertion, I have the screen evidence of the Daily Bell adopting an “elite methodology” of Alexa rankings that they previously blasted.
Re: “Promoting Faux Capitalism”
On February 7 you wrote, “I want the government to issue money directly into circulation for the sole purpose of paying for its legitimate, delegated powers”
On February 6, Adair Turner, chairman of Britain’s Financial Services Authority and “one of the most influential financial policymakers in the world”, in a “truly historic speech” (Reuters’ characterizations), proposed that, wait for it, “newly created money should be handed out to the citizens or governments of countries that are mired in stagnation and such monetary financing of tax cuts or government spending should continue until economic activity revives”

Here’s a thought: Since the cat is out of the bag now, and “your” postulation all over sudden makes “sense”, what is left to be done for you?
I don’t think issuing money to the people is a proper function of government, so I don’t support what he said.
I think money should be issued by government only to pay for its legitimate, delegated powers, which would include things like national defense and enforcement of criminal law.
