Article by Alex Newman. ————————————————————————————————————————————————– As Greece’s economy and the euro continue to struggle, regular Greeks are increasingly taking matters into their own hands, creating informal underground barter markets and even alternative currencies.

Article by Justin Raimondo. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- At this point it is clear that Rep. Ron Paul is not going to be the presidential nominee of the Republican Party. Yet it seems likely that he will outlast all his rivals but for Romney, and that he will have a substantial […]
Article by Justin Raimondo. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- The results of the GOP primaries, so far, would certainly seem to suggest that. Paul’s support draws heavily from two constituencies one doesn’t normally associate with the Republican party: young voters, who are overwhelmingly independents, and antiwar voters, who tend to be Democrats. He has carried the […]
Article by John Whitehead. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- “I have my own army in the NYPD, which is the seventh biggest army in the world. I have my own State Department, much to Foggy Bottom’s annoyance. We have the United Nations in New York, and so we have an entree into […]
Article by Saul Landau. —————————————————————————————————————————————————— After 9/11, I.

Article by Pam Martens. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————– Public relations experts understand one thing about a messy legal battle: the side that triumphs in public perception from the outset can leverage the momentum. Right now, that momentum is clearly with the Cato Institute in its court fight to prevent the oil billionaires, Charles […]
Article by Paul Gottfried. Gottfried more or less endorses George Kennan’s ideas on secession in this. —————————————————————————————————————————————————– As I perused the program for the Philadelphia Society’s national meeting in April, featuring wall-to-wall denunciations of “America and Her Detractors,” I wondered whether all anti-Americanism is the same. At one time […]
Article by Nancy Houser. I can’t blame Chomsky for favoring Obama over freaks like the Grinch, Sanitarium, or Bachman, but his dismissal of Ron Paul is disappointing. I called him out on that back in 2008, and he and I engaged in some correspondence over the question afterwards. […]
Keith Preston writes the blog Attack the System, which attempts to tie together both left and right anarchism in a Pan-secessionism against the empire. While I come from a radically different perspective than Keith, I find his critique of the way many left anarchists are militant shock […]

This kid was giving the state’s legal system the respect it deserves. —————————————————————————————————————————————————— Signs your trial is not going well: When the judge says to you, “I don’t know how you were raised, but peeing in a trash can in a state district courtroom is inappropriate behavior.” That […]

From CampaignsandElection.Com. —————————————————————————————————————————————————– Juggling the various groups of swing voters is central to political success. In the 2010 midterms, Democrats had their weakest performance among moderate suburbanites in two decades, lost working-class whites, and the Southern populists went Republican in places that had continual Democratic representation since Reconstruction. […]
Article by Tim Cavanaugh. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- The near-certainty that Mitt Romney will be defeated by Barack Obama in November is both intuitive and numerical.

From Reason.Com. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————– OK boys, strap on your rubbers, it’s raining nonsense.

Article by Fred Reed. ————————————————————————————————————————————————– As I listen to American fury against uncooperative Afghans, to Congress furiously denouncing Pakistan for anemic aid in conducting the current wars, I sometimes wonder whether the US is playing with a full deck.

Noam takes on the atheist fundamentalists. As an atheist myself, I’ve found these “new atheist” writers to be an embarrassment. First, none of the prominent ones are genuine religious scholars, historians of religion, or cultural anthropologists who can, for instance, examine the cultural, historical, literary, or linguistic contexts […]
Article by Fred Reed. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- Ever wonder why the US military can’t win wars? Why a few ragtag guerillas could send it running out of Somalia (Black Hawk Down)? Why one guy with a truck bomb could chase the Marines out of Lebanon? Why the attempt to rescue […]

Religious and civil marriage to be replaced by free marriage. Adult men and women […]
Article by Eric Pfeiffer. ————————————————————————————————– A commonly prescribed drug used to treat high blood pressure may have the unintended benefit of muting racist thoughts in those who take it.

Article by Jared Taylor. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- Most Americans have a vague sense that the First Amendment means we can gather just about anywhere and say just about anything so long as we don’t break the law. But that’s not how it works. It is increasingly common for fanatics to shut down […]
An ABC news report on the sovereign citizen movement. Most of the legal theories of this movement are crackpot but the pernicious political and economic forces they are reacting against are real. Notice how the $PLC describes this movement as a “hate group” even though black participants are […]
Article by Jordan Michael Smith. —————————————————————————————————————————————————— Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer (Credit: AP/Wikipedia) TOPICS:IRAN, ISRAEL Before they became famous — or infamous, depending on one’s perspective — for their article (later turned into a book) called “The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy,” professors Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer were best known […]
Article by Stephan Salisbury. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- At the height of the Occupy Wall Street evictions, it seemed as though some diminutive version of “shock and awe” had stumbled from Baghdad, Iraq, to Oakland, Calif. American police forces had been “militarized,” many commentators worried, as though the firepower and callous tactics […]
So says Pat Buchanan. —– Anyone who believes America’s culture wars are behind her should have started out Friday reading The Washington Times. The headlines on the three top stories on page one read: “California judges asked to say if they are gay.” “‘Tebow Bill’ for home-schoolers dies in […]

by P. R. Stephensen (The London Aphrodite, no. 6, July 1929, pp. 421–432.) (Stephenson regarded himself as a Nietzschean-Bakuninite. Hat tip to MP.) Only one man has lived dangerously—Michael Bakunin. While Nietzsche postulated the Fore-runner, here was a fore-runner in deed. “Everything about him was colossal,” says Richard Wagner […]
The Empire is summed up perfectly in two minutes and 41 seconds.
This is a question that is often debated by both sides of the conventional political spectrum. Here’s one person’s take on the issue. I’d say it depends on how you define “left” and “right.” For instance, the ostensible conservative George W. Bush sought to expand federal control over […]
Article by Thomas N.
