I agree with COrbett, but certainly not his bircher mentors who shilled for the neo-conservatives in their Review of the News and The New American journals. It might have been because the neocons were against stalinism and communism, but they themselves were trotskyist communists. Birchers still seem to gloss over the whole neoconservatives and the likudniks did 9/11. Even Corbett glosses over this.

Corbett's "mentors" extend far beyond the Birchers you mention.

I can absorb good ideas from 4+ axis (from self to tribe to universe, totalitarian to anarchy, truth to deceptions, past to future), or over-simply, left and right - but just because I adopt the good ideas and even consider the bad ones doesn't mean I need to be tarnished with guilt by association, nor consider anyone a "mentor".

However, I am very curious by your second last sentence: "Birchers still seem to gloss over the whole neoconservatives and the likudniks did 9/11."

Do you have more information or good sources on this?
