Ron Paul and Claudio Grass Speak on Switzerland

Summary:
What Do The Swiss Know That We Don’t? Claudio Grass, Managing Director of Global Gold in Switzerland, was recently invited to speak with Dr. Ron Paul at the Liberty Report. The discussion revolved around the decentralized Swiss political system, libertarianism, the European Union and cultural Marxism. Readers may recall that Claudio has recently done some research on the origins of “political correctness” as a method of thought control (see “Cultural Marxism and the Birth of Modern Thought-Crime” for details). It seems even Ron Paul was surprised to learn that Switzerland actually doesn’t have a president, but rather a federal council based on the “concordance democracy” principle. In fact, it is the last country on earth with an executive modeled along the lines of the archons of the Greek polis of antiquity.
