Article by Justin Raimondo. ————————————————————————————————————————————————– There’s always a Looming Danger, an Ominous Threat lurking somewhere – that’s the War Party’s bread-and-butter.

From Gizmodo.Com ——————————————————————————————————————————————————— Anonymous has sure been quiet lately, but today’s federal bust of Megaupload riled ’em up good: a retaliatory strike against DoJ.gov (and plenty of other foes) leaving them completely dead. DownForEveryoneOrJustMe.com is reporting the department’s site as universally nuked, and an Anonymous-affiliated Twitter account is boasting success. This is almost certainly […]

Article by Kevin Carson. —————————————————————————————————————————————————- In a single day of glory, January 18, a major portion of the Web went dark as a warning that we will no longer tolerate the Copyright Nazis’ infringements on our speech.

Richard Spencer interviews Jonathan Bowden.
I’ve always thought one of the most embarrassing tendencies of leftists is their habit of parading with tacky, hand-lettered signs with misspelled words. That and all the goofball chants: “Hey, hey, ho, ho, blah blah blah has got to go….” Puke.
Article by Kirkpatrick Sale. Required reading. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- Why America Failed, which this book is not about, is nonetheless a devastating and eviscerating critique proving convincingly that Americahas failed, and abominably, even tragically.

Article by Andrew Levine. This is an interesting critique of Ron Paul from a neo-Marxist perspective. While it makes some interesting arguments, and is likely correct is its assessment of the futility of the Ron Paul campaign, it also engages in a lot of unnecessary overreach. The reason […]
Article by Sheldon Richman. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————– The image of four U.S. marines urinating on the corpses of Afghan fighters is a fitting symbol of American intervention in Central Asia and the Middle East. That picture will live forever in the memories of people in the region, along with the […]

I’m sure […]
Article by John Walsh. It’s official. The Left is formally dead as an enemy of the Empire. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- For the Left, the big news of the New Hampsire primary has been greeted with an embarrassed silence.

Watch the video. ————————————————————————————————————————————————— In the Nov. 22nd Republican debate on CNN Ron Paul was asked about the Drug War.

Article by Kevin Carson. —————————————————————————————————————————————————— Whatever his other shortcomings, I get plenty of entertainment from watching Mitt Romney on the news. His personality type — privileged white boy, executive-type hair, born with a silver foot in his mouth — reminds me of how much I miss Dan Quayle. […]
Article by David D’Amato. —————————————————————————————————————————————————— Increasingly desperate to knock GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney off track, would-be nominees Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum have made the former Massachusetts Governor’s tenure at Bain Capital a campaign issue.

By Ian Huyett. —————————————————————————————————————————————————- I like that Martin Luther King slammed interventionism and warned that it would backfire, but, even more, I like King’s emotional oratorical style.
