Nexus X HumectressArticle examining some interesting ideas on how localities can rein in corporate power. Hat tip the the National-Anarchist Tribal Alliance of New York. But the nascent municipal rights movement offers something new in the way of political action. These communities are adopting laws that, taken together, are forming […]
Justin Raimondo on the contending schools of foreign policy within mainstream American politics. Read the article by Justin. My view, of course, is that the empire will end only when the American state implodes domestically, whether through self-inflicted wounds or through revolutionary action, or both. In Special Providence, […]
More or less, says Anthony Gregory. Progressives need to get over their Obama fetish. Anthony Gregory, Editor in Chief of Campaign for Liberty, discusses the positive effects of governmental paralysis; why Obama gets too much credit for simply following the Iraq SOFA signed by G.W. Bush; the nearly […]
And this guy’s supposed to be some kind of anti-American, Communist-Muslim terrorist extremist? Yeah, right. The mainstream American Right needs to get over its paranoid fantasies. Article by Jason Ditz. President Obama today signed an executive order that will formalize the indefinite extralegal detention of terror suspects without […]
No underhanded tactic is too dirty for the PIGS. Radley Balko on this flagrant violation of the Fifth Amendment. It seems that in 2008, Monroe County Sheriff’s Detectives Doug Brannon and Pat Henry actually posed as a federal defense attorney in an attempt to get incriminating information out […]
Yes, there is such a thing. Jesse Walker on anti-extremism hysteria. • Is this really a time of unusually fierce fear and violent rhetoric? • Is political paranoia just a fringe phenomenon, or is it also found in the middle of the road? • What does a conspiracy […]
Interesting article arguing that efforts to silence old-fashioned conservative white nationalists like American Renaissance will only strengthen the more extreme elements of the “white right.” Read the article at Alternative Right. Firstly, the pathetically embryonic nature of any kind of White nationalist movement that the establishment seems to […]
John Derbyshire on the Nation of Islam leader. The striking thing about the address was the almost total absence of anything Islamic in it. Most of the themes and references were in fact Christian. The first few quotes I logged to any scriptures at all were to Isaiah, […]
Dave D’Amato on the neoconservatives’ most hated nation. The people of the Arab world can (and ought) to be utterly repulsed by the American state without necessarily harboring any violent hostility toward ordinary people living in the United States. Average, working people in the Middle East and in […]
Article by Dave D’Amato. For the economic program of the American ruling class to function, governments amenable to its hierarchical, corporate framework are a practical imperative. Today, the Big Business economic blueprint, created by and for the state’s elites, is so ubiquitous that no one of its vavasour […]
Pat Buchanan rebukes the latest fancy of the imperialists: intervention in Libya. Assume we attack Gadhafi’s air defenses, and in the collateral damage are a dozen children—like those kids collecting sticks on that hillside in Afghanistan—and Al-Jazeera spreads footage of their dismembered bodies across the Middle East, as […]
From Bradley Thompson of the CATO Institute. What really bothers the neocons about small-government Republicans is that they lack a “governing philosophy.” The neocons have long urged the Republicans to reinvent themselves by giving up their Jeffersonian principles and developing a new “philosophy of governance.” Ironically, though, the […]
From the Uhuru Movement. On January 6 of this year the Steering Committee of the Black is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations voted to hold a National Conference on the Other Wars in this city on March 26 at a location not yet consolidated at […]
Scott Horton interviews Jason Ditz. Jason Ditz, managing news editor at Antiwar.com, discusses Robert Gates’s warning on the spillover effects of imposing a Libyan no-fly zone; the daunting prospect of invading and occupying Libya, a country larger than both Iraq and Afghanistan; why the US is incapable of […]
This is the kind of thing that needs to happen more often. Hundreds of protesters stormed a courtroom and attempted to make a citizens’ arrest on a judge in support of a man challenging his council tax bill. In chaotic scenes, police rescued Judge Michael Peake from the […]
Glenn Greenwald explains. Let’s review Manning’s detention over the last nine straight months: 23-hour/day solitary confinement; barred even from exercising in his cell; one hour total outside his cell per day where he’s allowed to walk around in circles in a room alone while shackled, and is returned […]
Hear The Dick discuss his proposal for an expanded police state in this interview with Peter Schiff.
Secessionists rally in Austin. The Texas Nationalist Movement marked Texas Independence Day with a rally on Saturday at the Capitol urging Texans to save the state by seceding from the United States. A small but enthusiastic group of Texans gathered on the steps of the Capitol, as an […]
From the This Ain’t Livin’ blog. I recently re-encountered one of the more bizarrely pervasive myths about prisons when I was talking about the prison abolition movement with a friend: The idea that prisons are ‘cushy.’ This person was trying to argue that because conditions in prisons are […]
Would someone who has read Gary Chartier’s new book be willing to write a review to be published on ATS?
Jim Goad on the Fred Phelps freak show. Based on their endless words and their tireless actions, the Westboro Baptist Church seems to sincerely believe that God is punishing America for its increasing tolerance of homosexuality. They honestly seem to think that every scrawny AIDS casualty, every soldier […]
Article by Charles Glass. That there is a long way to go became clear on the night that Hosni Mubarak resigned and mobs crowded into Tahrir Square to claim credit for a revolution that others had made. (They were like those “resisters of the eleventh hour” who jammed […]
Take lessons. Rebel-held territory in Libya has again come under sustained attack from land and air, from troops loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, as unrest in Libya continues.
“I do think Keith Preston merits the title odd duck, if anyone does. That said, unlike with Gabb, you don’t generally see those two criticisms coming from the same group of people in Preston’s case. The people who bag on his NA-sympathies don’t generally also complain about his […]
Naomi Wolf thinks so. So where were these women in Tunisia and Egypt? In both countries, women protesters were nothing like the Western stereotype: they were front and centre, in news clips and on Facebook forums, and even in the leadership. In Egypt’s Tahrir Square, women volunteers, some […]
Anna Morgenstern on why the Left and Right are both failures. As far as I can tell, the two biggest social problems that we have in statist society are War and Poverty. And true to form, they are rarely directly addressed. In truth, there is very little sentiment […]
This some rather surreal stuff.
Whether it’s the seat belt Nazis or the tobacco prohibitionists, the therapeutic police keeps moving right along. Meanwhile, the PC police set Charlie Sheen in their sites. A good piece on the Sheen affair by one of my favorite libertarian writers, Anthony Gregory.
Daniel McCarthy on the neoconservatives Jacobinism. …what the neoconservatives mean by democracy, and what their critics know they mean, is not one man, one vote. It’s not procedural democracy but a substantive democracy: a democracy that entails an American-style mixed-market economy (“democratic capitalism”), liberal institutions of civil society […]
Excellent documentary from the late 70s/early 80s on how the state contributes to black poverty. Featuring Dr. Walter Williams. Watch it on Youtube. This is a quite a find. Hat tip to Miles Joyner for digging it up.
Wow! An article about Kropotkin at the Mises Institute. A little more than 90 years ago, on February 8, 1921, Peter Kropotkin died in Dmitrov, then a small town in Russia, about 40 miles north of Moscow. He had been born in Moscow itself almost exactly 78 years […]
Why civilization needs it deviants.
Are whites racially oppressed? A growing movement says yes. Read all about it. For some time, I have predicted that as supposed spokesmen for traditional out-groups become more powerful, and as PC becomes more firmly rooted in institutions, the members of traditional in-groups turned out-groups will begin to […]
Interesting article by Swedish nationalist Rafael Koski. The main speaker of the evening was the Croatian-American ”New Rightist” Tomislav Sunic. He talked of his Croatian and other identities, and how he would prefer an explicitly racialist identity as a White European. He acknowledged, though, that as long as […]
It’s the first state to do so. This is how I envision the revolution actually happening. If I’m correct that the liberal-Left is going to dominate U.S. national politics for the next few decades, then more and more “red states” will likely adopt such actions, and hopefully “blue […]
Glenn Greenwald on the state’s efforts to kill the solider who exposed U.S. war crimes. The U.S. Army yesterday announced that it has filed 22 additional charges against Bradley Manning, the Private accused of being the source for hundreds of thousands of documents (as well as this still-striking […]
Not exactly. Kevin Carson explains why. Although (by strong implication, anyway) Paul & Co. frame the issue as the shiftless majority voting themselves loot at the expense of the hardworking rich, what’s really happening is that the rich who control the state are smart enough to understand what […]
David D’Amato on why the regulatory state serves the alliance of state and capital. Big Business, we are frequently advised, is the enemy of our natural biosphere, forever seeking new ways to sidestep its responsibilities to the environment and to dirty it at will. This assumption is, in […]
A new interview with Professor Noam. Chomsky: I think that more can be done, what is happening is already pretty awful and that could lead to a really major bloodbath. Information is pretty sparse but at least the eastern province appears to be substantially under control by the […]
Listen to the interview. Tom’s guests are Alex Kurtagic, founder of publisher Wermod and Wermod, a novelist, and author of the dystopian novel Mister and Richard Spencer, the executive editor and founder of website magazine Alternative Right, also author of numerous literary essays. The main focus of their […]
Hilarious. Alex on Charlie Sheen: “He didn’t kill a million people in Iraq!” Well said, Alex.
Awesome! We need much more of this. If liberal counties would start seceding from red states, and conservative counties would start seceding from blue states, we’d be well on our way to anarcho-pluralism. Read the article. Who Else Should Secede? Since we’re on the subject of secession based […]
From The Old Urbanist. When valuable city land is left open and vacant by an absentee owner, enterprising individuals may enter and create functional living spaces, start-up businesses and entire self-governing communities on their own initiative. This process of emergent organization, derided as anarchic by detractors (see video), in fact […]
Read the article.
Hear his interview with Scott Horton. Eric Margolis, foreign correspondent and author of War at the Top of the World and American Raj, discusses his interview with the “eccentric” Col. Gaddafi during the Reagan administration; the Western media’s exaggeration of Libyan violence, which provides a pretext for US […]
Fuck schools. Period. Sign the petition here. Isn’t the war between homophobes and homo-totalitarians interesting?
Robert Wenzel on Walter Block’s predictably maverick take on the battle of Wisconsin. Read Block’s original essay here.
Why the Gods Are Not Winning This article gives the raw data indicating the degree to which religious belief has declined worldwide over the past century. The authors also explain why religious conservatism is losing ground even in the most religious of industrialized nations, the United States. These […]
Jack Ross on the Iranian opposition. During the recent upheavals across the Greater Middle East, the various iterations of the neoconservative line—the optimistic pro-democracy, the paranoid Islamophobic, or the brazen combination of both—have all tended to share a single major fallacy: that the opposition movement in Iran, the […]
Alex Jones makes the Rolling Stone.
