1. Do not equate Libertarianism with Liberalism please.  We will miss you Ralph.  I only regret that I found you after you died.  You were totally brilliant!!!
2. I will miss your insights Mr. Raico. Your departure along with the demise of Joe Sobran leaves us in a less better world.
3. RIP.
4. RIP Man... Great Intellectual
5. no sympathy for the bombing of german citys , simply for the fact that the nazis bombed gurnica and deliberately targeted civillians before ww2 , the bombing of warsaw , rotterdam and london where the germans deliberately hit london, coventery , glasgow , liverpool , bristol etc they rarely attacked military targets mostly civillian in order to break the will of the people and force a surrender , people are more important than citys and hitler couldnt have done the policys he did without the support of the german people [the majority of them] the slaughter of jews , gypsies and once they would have disappeared it would be the turn of the slavs , the germans got what they deserved the sudeten germans were kicked out because they were a fifth column they were never ever a part of germany , even though they were german speaking so were a lot of people then , franz kafka was czech but he wrote in german , that doesnt make him a german
6. japan has to get out of china before any discussions can begin , the usa were correct the same as demanding iraq to get out of kuwait
7. very interesting , unfortunately ralph raico has left some things out , the zimmerman telegram which germany sent to mexico pushing them to reconquer texas, california , new mexico etc , this telegram was intercepted by the british and handed over to the americans , this more than the renewal of the u boat attacks caused america to enter the war . on palestine it was the jews who pushed the british to take that country , weizman working in england , ahron ahronson [from palestine] working with the british in egypt and jabotinsky creating the jewish brigade under the command of patterson , they formed this unit to fight only in palestine to free their country from the ottomans when perfidious albion reneged on their promise and decided to send them to the western front the jews mutinied and refused , patterson agreed with them and they fought in palestine .btw balfour didnt write the paper that was leopold amery , [balfour only signed nit]weizman had converted bvalfour to this idea in 1909 long before ww1 no sympathy for germany on the versailles treaty after all when they signed a treaty with russia at brest livstok the germans practicaly took the whole of the ukraine the bread basket of europe , gdansk was originaly polish before it was german and the german sudeten were never ever a part of germany
8. This man's lectures are amazing.
9. great teacher, greetings from Austria
10. Fekking. Brilliant.
11. National-Socialism all the way! Jewish bankers will be sent to the ovens.
12. Otto Von Bismarck was not a Capitalist.  Really?

13. Great lecture, if it wasn't for the bull about Auschwitz. The detailed operating orders were found, which leave no doubt about the importance of the camp for the war effort. Two officers were executed by Hitler for mistreating inmates, and some more were incarcerated. Chefs had to be replaced if they were incompetent to prepare meals to meet the nutritional quality required to keep production high. The US officer who checked 2,000 dead bodies over 18 month did not find a single one with gassing symptoms, and denied the existence of gas chamber in all camps he visited during his 18 month in Germany. The Director of Auschwitz is on record, that the gas chamber shown there was build after the war and that no gas chamber was found at the end of the war.
    
    No ash in significant quantities was found, no bones, no coal piles, transport records or order forms. The same goes for Zyclone-B.
    
    The communication between the camps intercepted by the Brits in real time, the documents captured in Berlin by the Russians, the documents secured in the camps by the allies and the records of the Red Cross, which was present in all camps to observe compliance with the Geneva Convention, all correspond to less than 300,000 total death, none due to gas, for all camps combined.
    
    The Jewish Association in Germany, the German Constitutional Courts and the German Ministry for Internal Affairs have not responded to many inquiries from many organizations to the question " Where did a systematic killing of Jews happen?"
    
    Over the years the claimed numbers of Jewish victims have been revised down many times, now being at less than 1 Mio for Auschwitz.
    
    The Jewish Almanac available in any US University Library shows before, during and after WWII about 15 Mio World population, being about 4% higher at the end of WWII.
    
    Comparing any news reports of the past with declassified documents always exposes the official story at the time as a hoax. It would be safe to assume the same for not already declassified and current news.
14. very enjoyable speech''........
15. FDR knew the Japanese were going to bomb Pearl Harbor, pretty much common knowledge. 
16. I'm almost embarrassed how happy i am to find new Raico lectures. Reading my way through the epistemology, praxeology, philosophy, and catalactics in Mises and Rothbard is great, but Raico makes me wish i was a historian.
17. Pretty amazing for a lecture of 1983. But then again, it's "not mainstream". Compare with the utter bullshit (basically a Whig Interpretation of History) one was told in high school. I remember the red thread of history followed since the Sumerians petering out into vague nothingness past 1914 for ... uh ... reasons. Thirty years later, and the problems of imperialism and interventionism, entangling alliances and profit-seeking responses to "surprise attacks" (wink wink nudge nudge) are worse than ever. (And Serbia has been in the actual news again). US debt has increased from 1 trillion to 13 trillion in the meantime though. The only saving grace is that there hasn't been a nuclear exchange yet. Just pray for Obama's "Asian Pivot" idiocy to not gonna go pear-shaped.
18. Fascinating. I find his work up to WW2 to be fascinating and perceptive. But he goes all off the rails after 2:00 when he starts ranting about US involvement in WW2, particularly calling out US assistance to the Soviet Union during the war, calls Churchill and Roosevelt hypocrites and empty, expresses open hatred of Roosevelt in a way that rings back to the era of classic 1930 Roosevelt haters.  He is delusional if he thinks that (a) the United States COULD have avoided involvement in WW2 or that (b) the United States SHOULD have avoided WW2. 30+ years of history have revealed how narrow his outlook truly is. The Soviets were a horror, it is true, and over 70 years killed more people than Hitler killed (and the Chinese communists killed even more). But the Nazis killed more in a shorter period of time. Frankly they were Enemy Number One and had do go.
19. I loved this beyond belief, I'd like to see more of it posted on the channel!
20. Where is Dr. Raico? He is my favorite history teacher, although I have never met him. I would like to meet him in person one day.
