How to Defeat PragerU: The Gravel Institute
Apparently, the Gravel Institute, named after former Senator and Presidential candidate Mike Gravel, has been formed to counter the influence of PragerU. There’s a big problem on the internet: right-wing groups like PragerU pour lies and disinformation into the feeds of every American. H Jon Benjamin (of Bob’s […]

The End of America?
What has been the most interesting is the way that so many “progressives,” many of the same people who often talk endlessly about “fascism,” have often been the same ones who are the most eager to embrace all of this without question or hesitation. By Naomi Wolf, American […]

Borders are a Weapon of Mass Destruction
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit The more things change the more they stay the same. The only place where that seems more true than Washington is at the border. Obama and Biden built the camps. Trump filled the camps. And Biden is building more as thousands of […]
A Once Promising Young Man
Did he fulfill his destiny? I would say so. He lured the US empire into a series of failed wars which embarrassed and humiliated the US ruling class on the global stage, undermined the empire’s legitimacy, and contributed to internal fracturing as well. His goal was to repeat […]
More Department of Homeland Security Leftism
But apparently, there is no need for the “left” to reject the State Department, DOJ, DHS, CIA, NSA, FBI, state-connected private intelligence agencies, police departments, undercover cops, the tech-oligarchs, or the capitalist class. A rather interesting approach to “leftism.”
Commies vs. Totalitarian Humanists?
Spencer Sunshine (what loser hippie parents he must have had if they gave him a name like that) and friends running interference for their buddy Rodham-Ross by trying to turn the tables on Norton and Blumenthal. I’m actually not a fan of Blumenthal and Norton. Blumenthal has attacked […]
Political Theology Today
By David Pan, TELOS What does political theology mean today? At the Telos-Paul Piccone Institute conference from which many of the essays in this issue originated, a primary goal was to discuss the crisis of secular liberalism and “how faith is reshaping culture and politics today.”[1] But even […]
Meet the (Unsuccessfully) Censored: Jesse Singal and Katie Herzog
By Matt Taibbi The media business keeps trying to ruin Jesse Singal and Katie Herzog, and they keep prospering. The paradox of moral panic in media. On almost a daily basis now, a high-profile figure in the media business is fired or resigns under pressure, often after falling […]

Tucker: Chinese government using Black Live Matter as a weapon against us
Liberals: “Donald Trump is a tool of the Russians!” Conservatives: “Black Lives Matter is a tool of the Chinese!” Liberals: “Assad uses chemical weapons!” Conservatives: “Iran is building nuclear weapons!” Me: “Away with the Russophobia, Sinophobia, Iranophobia, and Assadophobia. Keep your focus on the real enemy.”
No, America Still Shouldn’t Intervene on Behalf of the Syrian Rebels
The objective of US foreign policy is to eliminate Syria as a nation that rejects the Washington Consensus, and opposes Israeli and Saudi expansionism. By Matt Purple, The American Conservative Last week marked one year since the coronavirus was declared a national emergency here in America. Yet there […]
Biden Must Pressure Saudi Arabia to End the War on Yemen
One of the many reasons why I favor the overthrow of the US government is that it would likely result in the parallel collapse of the Gulf States, particularly the KSA, and end the US-Israel relationship, thereby giving the Palestinians a better chance. By Doug Bandow, The American […]
What Does the Future Hold for the GOP?
The Democrats could potentially become a de facto one-party state like Mexico’s Institutional Revolutionary party for most of the 20th century or Sweden’s Social Democrats between the 1930s and 1970s. However, the Republicans could hold the line with some Christian Democratic-like or Ordoliberalism-like economic policies or rhetoric, combined […]
The Uses and Abuses of ‘Woke Capital’
By Matthew Walther, The American Conservative More than half a decade ago, I began using the phrase “woke capital” in conversation and occasional social media posts. At the risk of sounding like someone’s father rushing the stage on Jerry Springer, I would like to register a disputed paternity […]
Washington’s Anti-Russia Fixation
The US empire wants complete domination of the Eurasian corridor and Russia is an obstacle to that goal. Plus, the US petroleum industry wants Russia’s oil, the “defense” industry needs Russia as a permanent bogeyman, the neocons want revenge for the Cossacks’ pogroms and the Pale of Settlement, […]
The Right Can Win in States
While I am not personally “on the right,” this is the advice I have been giving the right for 20 years. During the 1990s, I came to the realization that the right was destined to lose on the cultural front, and that the totalitarian sectors of cultural left […]
The Ford Foundation is Funding CCP Propaganda
Many on the right trend toward Sinophobia in a way that resembles the Russophobia on the left. But this is fairly interesting. It is somewhat reminiscent of David Rockefeller’s dream of an uber-capital/Maoist hybrid. See this old New York Times article from 1973. By James Lynch, The American […]

Polarization, Power and the Destruction of Liberty
Intense polarization has become a “national psychosis.” But, since few understand how things got this way, most “solutions” offered just lead to more of the same. Learn the nature of the problem from George Washington, Mercy Otis Warren, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. Understanding that, there is still […]
“Snowflakes” vs. “Reactionaries” at the P2P Foundation
On one hand, I am in favor of total freedom of association. If members of a group cannot get along with the rest of the group then they should separate. One the other hand, this is a classic example of how leftists refuse to acknowledge authoritarian tendencies within […]
The Bridge: Fred Dutton and the Realignment of the Democratic Party
During the past 50 years, the cultural revolution of the 1960s was co-opted first by the Democratic Party, then by the liberal wing of the corporate class, and then by the state security services altogether. You’ve got to check out this article if you want to know how […]

Is “Big Government” Really the Problem?
She’s right that most “anti-big government” Republicans are frauds, but wrong about the supposed beneficence of “big government” itself. The European social democracies that “progressives” are in love with can only do what they do because they are rich with natural resources (e.g. Scandivanian petroleum) and are under […]
Remembering Benjamin Tucker
By Bear Freeman Benjamin Tucker was against “capitalism” in the sense of a State-supported monopoly of productive tools and equipment which allows owners to avoid paying workers the full value of their labor. This stance puts him squarely in the libertarian socialist tradition. Indeed, Tucker referred to himself […]
Hayek’s Fatal Conceit

The populist spirit of the Paris Commune
By Robert Tombs, Unherd One hundred and fifty years ago, revolutionaries were far more interested in democracy than feminism and Marx. When I was a student in Paris, I would spend every 18 March walking the streets of Montmartre, where the Paris Commune was born. I would visit […]
Covid-19’s big public health lesson: Ask people to be careful, not perfect
By German Lopez, Vox For too long, America has approached public health issues with puritanical, black-and-white approaches. Whether it’s an abstinence-only approach for teen sex and HIV/AIDS, or refusing to provide clean needles and overdose antidotes to people who use drugs, the country has a tendency to prefer […]
Myanmar: It looks like a warzone, but only one side has guns
Yangon, Myanmar: When the military seized power on February 1, 2021, ending the brief 9-year period of representative democracy rule and plunging Myanmar into chaos, it triggered mass demonstrations against the coup. The demonstrations began with picket signs and chants of slogans by small groups of protesters against […]
The Deadly Precedent of the Waco Whitewash
By James Bovard, Future of Freedom Foundation The easiest way to achieve sainthood in Washington is to cover up a federal atrocity. Thus, it is no surprise that former senator John Danforth continues to be treated by the Washington Post as a visionary statesman. The Post showcased Danforth’s […]

Tell Me Again How Governments Are Essential
By Joakim Book, American Institute for Economic Research I don’t like governments. I don’t like how they are set up, how they’re ruled, how their existence furthers a one-size-fits-all approach to complicated social problems, or how they distort markets and behavior when they grab a share of every […]

How my feud with the left-anarchists began
I wrote this 32 years ago, and it was published in The Fifth Estate, Anarchy: A Journal of Desire Armed, and (if I remember correctly) Ideas and Action, along with some other anarchist publications from the era. There was no Internet or websites back them. This was published […]
Department of Homeland Security Anarchists
During the Vietnam War, there were some self-described “socialists,” primarily the followers of Max Shachtman associated with tendencies like Social Democrats USA, that took pro-war positions, ostensibly on anti-Stalinist grounds, having been influenced by Trotskyism and anti-Communist social democrats like Shachtman. These right-wing social democrats were commonly derided […]
California Preening
Joel Kotkin describes California’s high-tech feudalism. By Joel Kotkin, City-Journal “We are the modern equivalent of the ancient city-states of Athens and Sparta.
