FINALLY A TRANSLATION OF THIS IMPORTANT TEXT IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE!
Towards a Christian Zionist Foreign Policy
By Philip Giraldi Countries frequently define themselves by what they believe to be true. When reality and belief conflict that definition might well be referred to as a “national myth.” In the United States many believe that there exists a constitutionally mandated strict separation between religion and government.

Executioner in Chief: How a Nobel Peace Prize Winner Became the Head of a Worldwide Assassination Program
By John Whitehead “Much of our foreign policy now depends on the hope of benevolent dictators and philosopher kings. The law can’t help. The law is what the kings say it is.” ~ Ta-Nehisi Coates, writing for The Atlantic “If George Bush had done this, it would have […]

The Polemicist An essay in seven sections. The Fundamental Political Principle “That rifle on the wall of the labourer’s cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there.”— George Orwell
Anarchism and Political Theory: Contemporary Problems
By Uri Gordon This thesis explores contemporary anarchism, in its re-emergence as a social movement and political theory over the past decade.

Robert Nozick’s Framework For Utopia
By Mike Gibson Only a failure of imagination, the same one that leads the man on the street to suppose that everything has already been invented, leads us to believe that all of the relevant institutions have been designed and that all of the policy levers have been […]
Is This Guy a Stirnerite?
Rand Paul and Reorienting Republican Foreign Policy
By Daniel Larison Frederick Kagan didn’t understand why Rand Paul emphasized restraint and avoiding unnecessary wars: America’s foreign policy today is hardly one of militaristic, imperialistic determination to intervene. To put it charitably, this is an odd thing to say about the current state of U.S. foreign policy. […]
Thoughts on Gay Marriage
By Dr. Sean Gabb Not looking at the general circumstances, I’m in favour of gay marriage, and have been at least since I first wrote about it in 1989. If two consenting adults want to live together in close union, and can find a consenting minister of religion […]
Rand Paul’s War Against “Radical Islam”

‘Heroes’ View Us as Little More Than Collateral Damage

The Republican Obsession
By Pat Buchanan If last week’s hearing for Chuck Hagel raised questions about his capacity to be secretary of defense, the show trial conducted by his inquisitors on the tribunal raised questions about the GOP.

By Kevin Carson The following article was written by Kevin Carson and published on his blog Mutualist.Org: Free Market Anti-Capitalism, February/August, 2002.

Turning Our Schools Into Totalitarian Enclaves
By John Whitehead “Unfortunately, children do not organize, have no access to the media, and do not vote. They are relatively powerless to improve their own condition. Children need adults who will advocate for them.” ~ Professor David Elkind, Tufts University Just as the 9/11 terrorist attacks created […]
Why Fascists Hate Anarchy
by Ryder Wes Hardin

America’s Role in a Darkening Age
By Pat Buchanan When, in the 1950s, Nikita Khrushchev said, “We will bury you,” and, “Your children will live under communism,” Eisenhower’s America scoffed. By 1980, however, the tide did indeed seem to be with the East. America had suffered a decade of defeats. Southeast Asia had fallen. […]
Why the GOP Could Be in the Wilderness For a Long Time
By Daniel Larison White House Photo Ross Douthat makes a fair point: But just because the G.O.P. looks like it could spend a generation in the wilderness doesn’t meant that it actually will. National parties exist to win national elections, and that incentive alone often suffices to drive […]
Oliver Stone vs. the Empire
By John Buffalo Mailer Oliver Stone Dilma Rousseff (Creative Commons) Oliver Stone has the same gripe with Barack Obama as he did with George W. Bush—namely, they both stand for American Empire, and he does not. Stone is a three-time Oscar winner, has made over 60 films, including […]
Hagel Hearing: The War Party’s Waterloo
By Justin Raimondo We have to be thankful to Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of our more theatrical solons, for dramatizing the way in which the Israel lobby intimidates members of Congress: by asking Chuck Hagel if he could name a single Senator who was so intimidated he merely […]
Meet the Contractors Turning America’s Police Into a Paramilitary Force
By John Knefel The national security state has an annual budget of around $1 trillion. Of that huge pile of money, large amounts go to private companies the federal government awards contracts to. Some, like Lockheed Martin or Boeing, are household names, but many of the contractors fly […]
America Is Turning Into One Big Prison for People in Debt
By Steve Fraser Shakespeare’s Polonius offered this classic advice to his son: “neither a borrower nor a lender be.” Many of our nation’s Founding Fathers emphatically saw it otherwise. They often lived by the maxim: always a borrower, never a lender be. As tobacco and rice planters, slave […]
The “Death of Private Property”?
By David D’Amato A few days ago, I heard Greg Gutfeld — a self-styled libertarian and host of Fox News’ Red Eye — grieve the “death of private property” in his comment on homeless people squatting in Bank of America-owned houses. As a free marketer, defender of private […]

George Takei, ‘Star Trek’ Star, On Coming Out, LGBT Rights And ‘Don’t Say Gay’ Bill

Democracy in America, Revisited
By Morris Berman Since American democracy is in the process of disintegrating, it might be worthwhile to reflect on the nature of the phenomenon, and the sources of its dialectical death. In 1982 the eminent French scholar, Pierre Manent, published a study of Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in […]
A Government of the Rich, by the Rich, and for the Corporations
By John Whitehead “The shaping of the will of Congress and the choosing of the American president has become a privilege reserved to the country’s equestrian classes, a.k.a. the 20% of the population that holds 93% of the wealth, the happy few who run the corporations and the […]
Trying To Reform Government Is Largely a Waste of Time
By Steven Greenhut Whenever I speak or write about California’s pension and public debt problems, I always hear from well-intentioned, conservative- and libertarian-minded people who want me to consider their solutions. Most of their ideas – caps on this kind of spending or that, changed pension formulas, public […]
Why Anarchism+ Is A Conservative Movement
By Legionscatz As someone who has typically placed themselves on the left of the anarchist movement, a common trend I have noticed emerging among my so-called “comrades” is that much of the left’s philosophy is becoming indistinguishable from the socially conservative movements that most anarchists have traditionally opposed. […]
Feminism: The Goddess That Fails
By Becky Kevorkian Despite what they would like you to believe, feminists are not for “equality”, they are for the special interests of women specifically, while ignoring very real instances of inequalities against men. If feminists were truly a group oriented toward supporting equality for all, they would […]

The Washington Times HONOLULU, January 26, 2013 ― With national optimism now at a historical all-time low since the Carter Administration, many are wondering whether or not America’s best days are behind us.

How Occupy Wall Street Is Beating the Liberty Movement
