The History of Russian Involvement in America's Race Wars
During George W. Bush’s first term. The Soviets planted misinformation about the AIDs epidemic as a Pentagon creation, according to Sipher, as well as the very concept of a nuclear winter.

Notice the irony here. In a column accusing Republicans of being truth-deniers Krugman is insisting that collusion with Russia happened despite the absence of evidence after 16 months of exhaustive investigation.Ironic indeed. There's also a good bit of irony about the second topic in the article, climate change. Many on the left treat it as a religion, and don't care if the cure is more painful than the disease. They'd cut carbon emissions to "0" and deprive people in 3rd world countries of electricity, A/C and transportation. Krugman is guilty too of spreading Orwellian nonsense and paranoia. Like some Trump supporters, many on the left take his word as gospel, in Krugman's case because he has a Nobel Prize. You should take whatever he says about his specialty, trade, very seriously, and assume much of the rest is partisan hate mongering.
Has Krugman told Mueller the basis for saying "there is no longer any real doubt"? I'm sure Mueller would be all ears. It would certainly help to shorten his investigation.
Krugman is beginning to sound as desperate and unhinged as John Brennan. Originally Posted by lustylad

I Googled it and you're right. The guy has sold out hook, line and sinker to the progressive movement, even if it means he must support things he knows to be untrue. He's either brainwashing others or he's been brainwashed himself. There were a lot of very educated, intelligent Marxists who believed in their cause until the bitter end and afterwards. Maybe Krugman is from the same mold. He looks like a Marxist.
People like Al Gore, who run around yelling "the science is settled", are idiots. "Settled science" is an oxymoron.His carbon footprint is 20X the average American family’s, based on the energy consumption of his house.
P.S. Al Gore received a D in Natural Sciences and a C- in Introductory Economics at Harvard. And he is the left's poster boy for climate change? Originally Posted by lustylad

I think the class average there for people who show up is A-.
The big irony in the climate change debate is the fact that science is always supposed to be open to new ideas, new theories, new research and new discoveries. Ptolemy v. Galileo. Newton v. Einstein. That's how civilization learns and progresses. People like Al Gore, who run around yelling "the science is settled", are idiots. "Settled science" is an oxymoron.

The amazing part is the guy lives in Seoul a few miles from the border with North Korea - that fine showcase for Marxist success! Yet he prefers to live in the exploitative capitalist South rather than the workers paradise in the North. I guess he doesn't like tapeworms in his diet!
Each generation has to learn the hard way. If you want to read an excellent book about how intellectuals saw the light 2-3 generations ago, I recommend "The God That Failed" by Arthur Koestler et al.
And yes, Paul Krugman is cut from the same cloth. He would fall right into line under a Marxist regime. Originally Posted by lustylad
