Nexus X HumectressArticle by James Clingman. ———————————————————————————————- For years now we have been involved in movements, events, and initiatives organized for the purpose of saving Black people from the ravages and vestiges of historical discrimination, disparity, and disenfranchisement. We have had meetings, conferences, forums, and seminars whose purpose was to […]
Article by Sebastian Ernst Ronin advocating Novocadia as the suitable destination for a white separatist homeland. What’s ironic is that while that region may be among the whitest in North American, it’s also among the most liberal. It would be even more ironic if in the post-American scenario […]
Remembering Austria’s Bruno Kreisky. Hat tip to Chris Donnellan. ——————————————————————————————————- Kreisky led his country for 13 years, from 1970-83, winning a clear majority for the Socialist party of Austria a remarkable three times. During his time in office as the first popularly elected “red” chancellor, he transformed Austria […]
…of serious enemies of the state. I first became suspicious of this guy back when he was a governor of New Mexico and said he opposed the drug war, but then refused to pardon drug war prisoners because drugs laws were enacted “by the democratic process” or some […]
Listen to the broadcast from Mathaba.Net. Hat tip to Troy Southgate.
Article by David D’Amato. —————————————————————————————————- Wednesday’s (April 27) press conference marks a first for Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, a move being called “a high stakes gamble” that could compromise the Fed’s “allure or mystique.” Against a background of an ailing economy and growing criticism of Fed policies […]
A Meetup group for Workplace Democracy. —————————————————————————————————— This is an exploratory group for people interested in learning about, participating in, or starting worker-owned and worker-managed collectives, cooperatives, businesses or organizations. Wikipedia explains worker self-management (or autogestion) as “a form of workplace decision-making in which the workers themselves agree […]
Article by MRDA. _______________________________________ For all the time Minchin spends ripping into religion, it’s tragicomic to see him endorsing one of his own; then again, it seems part and parcel of his sociopolitical outlook: supposedly irreligious Leftists haven’t disposed with God—simply replaced him. Why go to church when […]
Article by Brett Stevens. ————————————————————————————————— Incompetent people (and by that I mean people who cannot predict the real-world results of their actions, at all) have one thing in common, whether insane, stupid, criminal, oblivious or intoxicated: It’s not their fault. Honest. If you are incompetent in this world, […]
From the Economic Collapse. ——————————————————————————————————– Once upon a time in America, virtually anyone with a high school education and the willingness to work hard could get a good job. Fifty years ago a “good job” would enable someone to own a home, buy a car, take a couple […]
John Derbyshire discusses the possible Republican candidates next year. It’s the usual collection of dimwits, opportunists, and sociopaths along with one cool guy, Ron Paul, or maybe two, if Gary Johnson runs. Trump is the wild card. —————————————————————————————————– Mitt Romney. Dear old Mitt. Always a bridesmaid, never a […]
My most recent column at Alternative Right. I analyze the stormtroopers on granola. ————————————————————————————————- The ultimate outcome of totalitarian humanism taken to its logical conclusion would be a totalitarian state organized as a kind of caste system whereby individual rights are assigned on the basis of group identity […]
From Infoshop. ————————————————————————————————— For over two weeks, indigenous peoples and supporters have occupied Glen Cove, a “sacred gathering place and burial ground that has been utilized by numerous Native American tribes since at least 1,500 BC,” located on the outskirts of Vallejo, California in the Bay Area. The […]
Article by Saman Mohammadi. —————————————————————————————————- Who would have thought twenty years ago that a wrestler would become one of the heroes of our age? Then again, it shouldn’t be so surprising because wrestlers are special men. They can both face the ridicule of a crowd and raise them […]
Article by Ralph Raico. ——————————————————————————————– With the end of the 20th century rapidly approaching, this is a time to look back and gain some perspective on where we stand as a nation. Were the Founding Fathers somehow to return, they would find it impossible to recognize our political […]
Article by John R. MacArthur. —————————————————————————————————- To understand the utter absurdity of America’s intervention in the Libyan civil war, I recommend a visit to the Museum of Modern Art in New York to see its new exhibition of German Expressionism. It will be much more instructive than reading […]
Article by Nicole Colson and Alan Maass. ————————————————————————————————– THE U.S.-led military operation in Libya has morphed from the initial imposition of a “no-fly zone,” ostensibly to prevent Muammar el-Qaddafi’s regime from carrying out a massacre, into an ongoing bombing campaign with no end in sight–and now there’s increasing […]
From Truthdig. ———————————————————————————————————– In a column for Bloomberg, Ralph Nader has outlined the reasons he believes President Obama will not be defeated in 2012. Though the piece certainly doesn’t read as an endorsement for Obama—it’s more critique than anything—Nader argued that a combination of Republican shortcomings and the […]
Article by Robert Scheer. —————————————————————————————————– There is a craven disconnect between the eagerness of leading editors to exploit the important news revealed by WikiLeaks and their efforts to distance themselves from both the courageous website and Bradley Manning, the alleged source of documents posted there. Alleged is required […]
Article by Nat Hentoff. ————————————————————————————————- When President Obama and Eric Holder succumbed to fierce bipartisan resistance to trying Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and four other charged defendants – for the 9/11 massacre of Americans – in our civilian federal court system, they were defied by Michael Daly, a stubbornly […]
Article by Jack Ross. —————————————————————————————————– During the upheavals sweeping the Arab world, a common refrain among hawkish supporters of Israel has been that the Arab street is indifferent to the plight of the Palestinians, and thus the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not at the heart of Middle East troubles. […]
Hat tip to Peter Bjorn Perls.
Hat tip to NATA-NY ———————————————————————————————— Who was present when you were born? Can you remember every address you’ve ever had? How about every place you’ve ever worked? Were you circumcised? What if I told you that those were some of the queries the State Department is proposing for […]
A courageous high school student resists compulsory education and forced multiculturalism all by his lonesome. This is not too far from how I was in high school.
This really sums up what’s wrong with the thinking of contemporary leftists. ———————————————————————————————————- Ron Paul is far from perfect, but I’ll say this much for the Texas congressman: He has never authorized a drone strike in Pakistan. He has never authorized the killing of dozens of women and […]
From Asatru Folk Assembly. ————————————————————————————————— When we hear the phrase “indigenous people,” we think of Amazon tribes, pygmies in Africa, the Australian aborigines, and other groups around the planet. There are probably hundreds – thousands? – of such societies. Their plight is well-known. Indigenous peoples in Africa, Asia, […]
Thanks to Miles for this alert. ————————————————————————————————– North Carolina’s Senate Finance Committee is poised to take away the right of communities to decide for themselves if building their own broadband network is a good idea or not. If it passes out of this committee, it goes right to […]
Article by Tim Dionisopoulos. A clash between the Paulistas and the Johnsonians could prove interesting. Ron is the more radical of the two, but Johnson is the more culturally liberal. —————————————————————————————————- Gary Johnson, the former Governor of New Mexico, has announced that he will be running as a […]
by Paul D’Amato from the Socialist Worker. ————————————————————————————————- WE MARXISTS are internationalists. “Workers of the world, unite!” was the call of Marx and Engels in The Communist Manifesto. “You have nothing to lose but your chains.” Does this mean, then, that Marxists turn their backs on national oppression? […]
The shit’s hitting the fan now. ————————————————————————————————– And Islamic fanatics have posted threatening internet messages. Sila, raised in Germany by conservative Turkish parents, says she fears being “spat at” and “shamed”. Her parents are said to have reacted with “horror” at the 12-page coverage, and her mother has […]
From Infoshop. I don’t know enough about this case to know whether this guy is guilty or not. But, hell, the dude’s already been on death row for almost thirty years. Some countries don’t even allow prison sentences longer than that. Give the guy a break. ————————————————————————————————— from […]
Read the review. ————————————————————————————————– Atlas Shrugged: Part I is the most universally despised movie of 2011, but I liked it. Critics hate this adaptation of Ayn Rand’s 1957 cult novel for predictable ideological reasons, while Randites are embarrassed that their exalted capitalist system failed to pony up the […]
Stuart Bramhall on the great Ward Churchill. ——————————————————————————————— Pacifism as Pathology is a collection of essays centered around Ward Churchill’s original 1985 essay “Pacifism as Pathology: Notes on an American Pseudopraxis.” The premise of the essay is that the militant nonviolent stance assumed by the US progressive movement […]
Article by David D’Amato. —————————————————————————————————- Anarchists are assured that rival organizations for defense, without monopoly power or captive markets, would surely shoot it out in the streets, while the single, overarching authority that we have at present will act only for the common good. So although statists are […]
Another column from AltRight. I discuss some of the ideas contained in Roderick Long’s recent paper on how to build bridges between leftists and libertarians. I praise Long’s insightful analysis of what he calls the “aristocratic Left.” Long is rare among hard leftists in recognizing that liberalism is […]
A recently column of mine at Alternative Right. The worldview advanced by the “totalitarian humanist” strand of the Left tends to view human social life from the reductionist perspective of group conflict between “oppressed groups” and “oppressor groups.” But what happens when individual members of “oppressed groups” engage […]
Essay by “Martin” at the Liberal Conspiracy. ——————————————————————————————————— As Libertarians across the US flock to cinemas to watch the film version of Atlas Shrugged (the film has a limited release and harsh criticism from everyone outside those who are already fully bought into Ayn Rand’s philosophy of corporate […]
Article by Justin Raimondo. ————————————————————————————————– In terms of ideology, 19 percent of those who consider themselves “very liberal” support Obama’s Libyan adventure, and the number goes way up to 42 percent when we’re talking about those who see themselves as “somewhat liberal.” 32 percent of self-described “moderates” support […]
Thomas Sowell discusses the work of Walter Williams. ————————————————————————————————— I can still vividly recall the response to one of Walter’s earliest writings, back in the 1970s, when he and I were working on the same research project in Washington. Walter wrote a brief article that destroyed the central […]
Article by John Whitehead. —————————————————————————————————– The U.S. government has a history of commandeering military technology for use against Americans. We saw this happen with tear gas, tasers and sound cannons, all of which were first used on the battlefield before being deployed against civilians at home. Now the […]
Article by Stephen Cox. ———————————————————————————————– The California prison system, euphemistically known as the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, employs more people than any other state agency. It has 69,000 authorized positions. Between 1998 and 2009, its budget almost tripled, reaching $10.3 billion dollars in the latter year […]
Lew Rockwell interviews investigative journalist Russ Baker. ————————————————————————————————- Investigative journalist Russ Baker updates what he uncovered in Family of Secrets about the Bushes with his responses to the former President’s best-selling book. In sum, Bush started a war under false pretenses, allegedly left the cockpit because of substance […]
Literally. Watch the video —————————————————————————————————- Last week a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit against the Drug Enforcement Administration by Lee Paige, the DEA agent who literally shot himself in the foot with an allegedly unloaded gun while talking about firearm safety to a roomful of Florida children—right after […]
His side of the story. Obviously, we’re not going to get this from the MSM. —————————————————————————————————– In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful… For 40 years, or was it longer, I can’t remember, I did all I could to give people houses, hospitals, schools, and when […]
From the Leonard Peltier Defense/Offense Committee (LPDOC), Northwest Organizer’s Office. —————————————————————————————————- Native American activist Leonard Peltier, who was wrongfully convicted in connection with the shooting deaths of two agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1977, and has been imprisoned for 35 years, is in dire need […]
Richard Spencer gives us the news. I don’t think that trying to get “one of us” elected to the presidency is exactly the way to go…to say the least. But as Richard says in this piece, RP is one of the few public officials who is not a […]
From Infoshop.Org. I worked in bars and restaurants for fifteen years. This is standard practice in the “food service” industry. ————————————————————————————————– It may come as a surprise to those who have never worked in the food industry to hear that not only Jimmy John’s sandwiches, but also the […]
Kevin Carson explains why. —————————————————————————————————– It’s ironic that left-wing money cranks like me and right-wing money cranks like von MIses’ gold bug followers have so much trouble getting along. Us left-wingers, or anyway those of us in the tradition of William Greene and Benjamin Tucker, argue that the […]
Hat tip to Raven Warrior. Raven has some additional comments of his own at the American Indian/Alaskan Native Attack the System blog. —————————————————————————————————– Many of the ‘blighted’ neighborhoods targeted by urban renewal were in fact quite liveable places, safer and better-maintained than the average inner-city district today. The […]
When even a neocon mouthpiece like David Brooks admits the system is losing its legitimacy, then the system must really be in trouble. Of course, Brook’s call for a return to the “vital center” establishment consensus of the 1950s is pathetic. See William Houston’s response to Brooks as […]
