New In Chess #3 2008
Bobby
spat on a presidential executive order and defied a
trade embargoin 1992
More precisely, the "Trading with the Enemy Act"
for playing Spassky who returned
to France with no problem. More power to Bobby for
that act of asserting asserting human autonomy and
economic freedom against an overweening central regime.
This kind of 'assering economic freedom' has the following
precedent:
"George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush,
was a director and shareholder of companies that profited
from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly
discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm
of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with
the financial architects of Nazism.
His business dealings, which continued until his company's
assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act..."
Evil overweening central regime prevents upstanding American
businessman from making a buck.
