From the Activist Post. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- Good and evil doesn’t have a grey zone. Killing and stealing is bad.

From the Activist Post. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————– The definition of slavery is not nearly as clear as it used to be when we could see the physical chains and whips that shackled human laborers.

Article by Nosakhare Boadi. —————————————————————————————————————————————————- International non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are global contractors, hired to execute the foreign policies of imperialism.

Article by Andy Nowicki. —————————————————————————————————————————————————– Like Anders Behring Breivik with a side order of gratiutious profanity, but without the mass murder or the effete Nordic beauty and literary pretensions, Emma West, the “epic tram lady,” has become an instant folk hero to many on the Right.

Excellent. Maybe “the troops” will now have a distraction from raping local women in U.S.-occupied lands. It doesn’t get any better than this: Former Army Col.

Gang warfare Israeli-style. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————– An indictment was filed Thursday against a key member of an extremist ultra-Orthodox faction following a “reign of terror” in Jerusalem’s Mea She’arim neighborhood.

It looks like the system wants to keep all its flanks covered.
Watch the video. This is interesting as Bookchin describes how he moved past the classical socialist theory of class exploitation when he realized that the working class had become a middle class, that unions had become status quo institutions, and Marxism simply a new form of statist oppression. […]
Bill Lind’s classic. Doesn’t this sound just like the anti-ATS chorus? The most deadly aspect of Cultural Marxism/Totalitarian Humanism is that it identifies broad categories of human beings that are undefined as evil by virtue of their mere existence as the principal enemy, as opposed to attacking specific […]
All about Distributivism. It’s always seemed to me that the appropriate economic paradigm for anarcho-pluralism/pan-secessionism would be a synthesis of distributivist ideas like John promotes and the ideas of classical libertarian socialism of the kind Larry Gambone has described in detail incorporated into a broader ideological framework of libertarian […]
Article by Larry Gambone. —————————————————————————————————————————————————— I see Occupy’s situation today as analogous to that of the Civil Rights Movement.

Article by Kevin Carson. —————————————————————————————————————————————————– First it was Lt. John Pike of the UC Davis police, whose fast draw with the pepper spray relegated him to a lifetime of knowing everyone he interacts with secretly regards him as lower than a tapeworm in Satan’s colon.

From Veterans Today. —————————————————————————————————————————————————— Our uniquely massive support for Israel has cost trillions of dollars and multitudes of lives.

Article by Fred Reed. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————– Justice at Last by dumpdc Count’em by Fred Reed (Editor’s Note: Here is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek article about how legislation really works.

The neocons’ favorite Democrat makes an ass of himself again. —————————————————————————————————————————————————– Senator Joe Lieberman’s latest battle is making sure that more things can be branded as terrorism on the Internet.

…and then says no to any further dialogue. In some ways, this discussion reminds me of the foreign policy debates between realists and liberal-humanist-universalists. Not coincidentally, the realist George Kennan became a supporter of something resembling pan-secessionism in his final years, whereas supporters of “human rights internationalism” typically […]
