The transition between bans 3 and 4 smashes it! Volunteered, by Aaron Kinney, to The Radical Libertarian ___________
By Jason Pye Perhaps one of my favorite Milton Friedman stories is when he was served on a presidential commission to look at military conscription. The Nobel Prize winning economist listened to General William Westmoreland, who was givening testimony before the commission. Here’s how it played out: In his […]
By William Norman Grigg Gen. Stanley McChrystal, former commander of NATO troops in Afghanistan, demands the re-instatement of conscription so that next time Washington commits itself to a needless foreign war “every town, every city [will be] at risk.” “I think we ought to have a draft. I […]
Scott Horton interviews William Norman Grigg. Will Grigg discusses Edmund Burke’s notion of “natural society” and “policed society;” why American police forces are servants of the state, not of the people; the botched SWAT raid in Evansville, IN; and how good cops get thrown off the force for […]

By Anna Morgenstern Those of us who mistrust the evolution of our current politico-economic system, often look toward dystopian novels to portray a warning glimpse of where we are headed. The two most common examples are 1984 by George Orwell or Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. While there certainly are elements […]
Interesting description of the current sexual marketplace as an artificial market. All those guys you know who screw a lot of women are Omega’s exploiting a niche produced by feminism and urban anonymity. In a tribal society these sort of guys would be killed or expelled by an alliance of alphas and betas; if they could manage to get laid in the first place….
Richard Spencer explains why: “Even delusional Republicans like Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum—men who make televangelists seem noble in comparison—must surely recognize that only older, church-going White people would conceivably vote for them. Thus, the mainstream Republicans soft talk on immigration*, their refrains about lifting up “all Americans”—and […]

From Russia Today. Talk about a gangland execution! _____________ Hearing a knock on his door at 1:30 am, a perplexed Florida man answered the door to see what kind of unannounced visitors were outside. Holding a gun for security, 26-year old Andrew Scott was instantly shot dead by […]
Another good ‘un from Goad… ___________ The hoarsely ululating throats of the “pro-life” and “pro-choice” movements screamed at each other outside a small abortion clinic in Jackson, Mississippi last week as a federal judge cock-blocked a state lawand allowed the clinic to stay open for now.
