KrasnoUNC releases video lectures and talks of the Krasno Global Events Series at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Organizer and host: Prof. Klaus Larres, the Richard M Krasno Distinguished Professor of History & International Affairs at UNC-Chapel Hill. Prof. Larres established the Krasno Global Events Series in 2012. Email: larres@unc.edu.
The Krasno Global Events Series is a series of regular lectures, talks and discussions at UNC-Chapel Hill to enhance our understanding and comprehension of global affairs, past and present. In particular in times of much unpredictability and instability, it is essential to obtain a better grasp of the driving forces, the fears and ideas as well as the personalities that shape our age.
The events are organized with the support of the UNC History Department, the Peace, War and Defense Curriculum (PWAD), the College of Arts and Sciences, UNC Global and 'Diplomatic Discussions.'
The whole effort to contain and roll back communism was an enormous success for our country that we can be proud of. The US prevented many, many countries from falling to dictatorships.
Our CIA was a joke in the beginning we had a bunch of college bros of the day getting they're ass handed to them until the rise in signals Intel and our intelligence groups getting the operational connections it needed to run successful human intelligence
This just seems like a zeitgeist in the intelligence and propaganda communities of the US over the years. He even got the date of the Israel and the Pakistani nuclear weapons program wrong.
Next time, hire a sound and lighting professional. Your talk doesn't have an impact if we can't hear it very well. Plus the image behind you is annoying.
They often used to say a couple of British A levels with mediocre grades say D D before say 1978 and the destruction of the British educational system by Shirley Williams, was equal to a US college degree. You know Paul McCarthy, Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Jonny Rotten ( Lyndon), Ian Curtis and Ian McCulloch, would have made it. A Harvard or Columbia doctorate. Of course Harvard would have required 40 pages in every assignment and essay, even 3 hour exam. At a Liverpool or Cheltenham grammar even Oxford a 4 page handwritten effort would be an essay. But still not the total PC bullshit clearly required by Harvard. I always wondered why Yale was the only US University answered my letters, noted me etc
Celeste A. Wallander is largely responsible for the domestic turmoil the United States finds it in today. I hope our current potus will surround himself with those who will advise him based on how the world is rather than how they wish the world to be.
1:01:20 - The problem is not that industrial policy doesn't work. It does. The problem is that industrial policy is inherently incompatible with free flow of goods and capital, and proper open international competition. Basically entity without government subsidies can't possibly compete with subsidized entity. This creates all sorts of international problems and distortions. Intentional subsidization of export overcapacity in a global market will inevitably drive companies out of business in other countries. This creates political problems. And that's exactly what we see all around the world today. Either subsidized production must stop to facilitate fair international competition or trade and financial barriers must come up making the world a much different place. There is no other way. The 60's when the US had subsidies and planning was an era without free global movement of goods or capital.
Buhu. Bush and co were so afraid. Well, that's what you get if you build a global empire where lots of people hate you. Maybe now they can understand what they are doing to the Palestinians, Afgans and many others. This argument that 'they were all afraid' and therefore they are basically justified in the Iraq war is totally insane.
Americans believed X. Great, yes, because the government told them. Most Americans didn't know where Iraq was in 2001. All their information is from the government. Totally pointless argument.
The Cold War was designed to make money for the already very rich via arms sales and other war related technologies and commodities. Simply put , it was a global fear campaign for profit. The "communists" the US CIA and other "security forces" were fighting in foreign countries were usually democratically elected leaders who opposed US imperialist expansionism thus threatening US (and friend's) corporate profiteers from exploiting resources in those countries ---- old fashioned colonialism. The establishment of the USSR was an idea from the "West", set up by "industrial leaders" (robber barons) and bankers (usurists) and aided by the politicians and press (propagandists). Their USSR social system constantly faltered ... as all socialist systems do, and The Corporation of Washington D.C. and friends would rush to aid the soviets to prop it up supplying food, money, factories, technology and even a shadow leader when Stalin had a nervous breakdown during Hitler's invasion into Russia. The "War on Terror" is the wealthy arms profiteers replacement for the old and tired cold war and is also totally orchestrated. Unfortunately for the rich international crime cabals, the terror isn't bringing in enough booty to suit them. So now they are setting up a new and improved cold war with BOTH the Russians and the Chinese as the threats to world peace and our fake 'democracy'. They don't give a shit about how many innocent people they murder to maintain their money, status and power. They're psychopaths --- totally unempathetic and myopic --- ruthless. BTW: Both Russian and Chinese 'leaders" (puppets) are bribed or threatened into the deal. If they don't go along then very very bad things happen to them. (The criminal globalists call it "regime change".)

If you have a cough during class or a lecture. Step out get some water or a cough drop, maybe leave a cell phone to record the min or two you are gone.... and come back. Class disruptions are sooo annoying. Great lecture!
Your lecture was the best ever & reminds me that being an intellectual, in today's world, is like being in a dark cave with one match. So little is known about what is really going on. I was a long time good friend & student, in the 1960s, of both Dr Bob C Riley & Jim "Jimbo" Ranchino. I know how you & Jim both studied under William Appleman Williams @ U of Wis, Madison. I would like to talk some times. My direct private business #, that also accepts text, is 1-415-533-4115. Ema
