Apt indeed.

Enjoyed the chat guys. From my experience I believe NYTimes staff Journos are on $100k plus (up to 150k+ according to Glassdoor). There were extensive contacts between Poland and Ireland in 70s/80s. Solidarity Union has massive support in Ireland mostly via the Catholic Church.

DHP won't cover certain topics, which makes it similar to the Tom Woods Show podcast. The following is a list of topics that “Conservative, Republican, Libertarian” types have in common with socialists. 1. DHP won't cover how an American socialist (Francis Bellamy) wrote the Pledge of Allegiance and it was the origin of the Nazi salute and Nazi behavior adopted later under Hitler’s German socialism (a discovery by the historian Dr. Rex Curry). 2. DHP won't cover the "swastika" as "S" letter shapes to symbolize socialism under Hitler (another discovery by the historian Dr. Rex Curry). DHP was unable to make the discoveries in #1 & #2 because of DHP's ideological bias. 3. DHP won't cover Hitler as a socialist; DHP is ignorant of the fact that Hitler et al did not describe their movement with the words “Nazi, Fascist, Third Reich, nor Swastika.” DHP is ignorant of the fact that Hitler’s ilk described themselves as “Socialist” (by the very word) in their voluminous speeches and writings. 4
