Nexus X HumectressAlex Jones on "The View"
Hilarious. Alex on Charlie Sheen: “He didn’t kill a million people in Iraq!” Well said, Alex.
Liberal Arizona County Threatens Secession, Says State is too Conservative
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 […]
Anarchic Urbanism
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 […]
Paul Craig Roberts on Government Perfidy: Evidence vs Denial
Read the article.
Eric Margolis on the Middle Eastern Revolution
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 […]
Texas School District Bans Freedom of Association
Fuck schools. Period. Sign the petition here. Isn’t the war between homophobes and homo-totalitarians interesting?
Defend Union Thugs in Wisconsin!
Robert Wenzel on Walter Block’s predictably maverick take on the battle of Wisconsin. Read Block’s original essay here.
Religion and Politics
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 […]
Iran's Bizarro "Green Movement"
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 […]
"The Most Paranoid Man in America"
Alex Jones makes the Rolling Stone.
Libertarian Mixed Feelings on Wisconsin
Kevin Carson offers his perspective, and makes more or less the same arguments that I do. So while I object to government employment in principle, I’m uneasy about the standard libertarian framing of the issue with rank-and-file government workers as the villains and Walker as the good guy. […]
Young Israeli Anarchists Defend Palestinians
This is good stuff. Thanks to NATA-NY for digging this article up. Established in 2003, the anarchists are young Israelis, mostly in their 20s, who work closely with the Palestinian popular village committees to resist Israel’s occupation. They have no official leaders, no office and no paid staff, […]
Alain de Benoist's "The Problem of Democracy"
A review by Brett Stevens. This book has recently been translated into English and I received a complimentary copy for review from the publisher. My own review/critique of this work of De Benoist’s should be forthcoming fairly soon.
The Real U.S. "National Security" Budget
by Chris Hellman http://www.amconmag.com/blog/the-real-u-s-national-security-budget/ What if you went to a restaurant and found it rather pricey? Still, you ordered your meal and, when done, picked up the check only to discover that it was almost twice the menu price. Welcome to the world of the real U.S. national security […]
The Protocols of the Learned Elders of OPEC
Justin Raimondo takes down the latest neoconservative lunacy. H. L. Mencken had it right when he wrote: “It is hard for the plain people to think about a thing, but easy for them to feel. Error, to hold their attention, must be visualized as a villain, and the […]
Will the U.S. Stifle the Revolution in the Middle East?
Lew Rockwell interviews Eric Margolis. No candidate opposed to the US occupation is permitted to run in Iraqi or Afghan elections. It will be the same in Egypt and Libya if the US gets its way. Soviet-style rigged elections make a mockery of the occupied peoples’ desire for […]
Invasion of the Kochtopussies
Jim Goad’s hilarious takedown of the paranoid Left. I make it a general rule never to trust even one-half of a word that any politician says, whether it’s left, right, up, down, North, South, and even some parts of Philly. I’ve never been good at team sports, and […]
The Libyan Fox at Bay
Eric Margolis on the demise of Gadaffi. Gadaffi is a sad example of the maxim about absolute power corrupting absolutely. People like me who relish political theater of the absurd will miss the “Leader;” but most of his people, I suspect, will not. While Gadaffi prepares for his […]
Farrakhan: Middle East Uprisings Will Come to the US
Read all about it. “What you are looking at in Tunisia, in Egypt … Libya, in Bahrain … what you see happening there … you’d better prepare because it will be coming to your door,” Farrakhan said in a booming voice, thousands of followers cheering in his wake. […]
Government Should Not Control Internet Access
http://www.kstatecollegian.com/opinion/government-should-not-control-internet-access-1.2501245 by Ian Huyett In the event of a national emergency, the president should be able to shut off access to the Internet for our safety. Yeah, it doesn’t make sense to me either. But that seems to be the argument behind S.3480, the Protecting Cyberspace as a […]
The Rise of Anti-Western Christianity
Matthew Roberts explains why the future of Christianity will be in the Third World rather than in the West. Although Third World Christianity at present may be ethnocentric, some people hope it will eventually become more universalist (ie, more liberal), as Western Christianity has become. But there is […]
Book Review: Texas Nationalist Movement
Thomas Naylor of the Second Vermont Republic reviews Daniel Miller’s Line in the Sand. Read the full review.
Socialist Soviet Republic of Kanuckistan
Alex Kurtagic on the totalitarian humanist-commie regime to our north.
A Montage of Lies
Watch the video. And support Vincent Bugliosi’s efforts.
A Judge Against the Drug War
Watch the interview. In 1992, Jim Gray, a conservative judge in conservative Orange County, California, held a press conference during which he recommended that we rethink our drug laws. Back then, it took a great deal of courage to suggest that the war on drugs was a failed […]
Campus Witch Hunts
Paul Gottfried on the theocratic institutions of our time. The student posted an anonymous note including a shockingly abusive fact. Matzeliger, it seems, was being honored on Thomas Edison’s birthday. The note implied it might be inappropriate to lavish attention on Matzeliger while ignoring a much more famous […]
Wikileaks vs the Womynists
Stephen Baskerville of The American Conservative describes Julian Assange’s ordeal in the Saudi Arabia of feminism: Sweden. Accounts of Assange’s experience bear out the politics very clearly: His first accuser is a professional feminist. “While a research assistant at a local university she had not only been the […]
War Uber Alles
Paul Craig Roberts explains how the state’s thirst for bloodshed is never satisfied. The Pentagon needs some more wars so there can be some more “reconstruction.” Reconstruction is very lucrative, especially as Washington has privatized so many of the projects, thus turning over to well-placed friends many opportunities […]
War, Martial Law, and the Economic Crisis
The state and the ruling class enemy prepare for a clampdown. Peter Dale Scott explains.
The Battle of Wisconsin: A Third Position Anarchist Class Analysis
A number of readers have asked for my opinion on the current union battle in Wisconsin. Here it is. Some libertarians and conservatives have portrayed the conflict as one pitting parasitical government workers against beleaguered taxpayers being threatened by ever expanding public budget deficits. Predictably, Pat Buchanan makes […]
What If Iraq Had Weapons of Mass Destruction?
Laurence Vance on the biggest fraud of the 21st century. But what if Iraq had weapons of mass destruction? What if every other rationale for the war against Iraq was a lie, but Iraq really did have weapons of mass destruction.What should the United States have done? Should […]
The Fascist, Imperialist USA and Its Hypocrisy
John Pilger on the Evil Empire. As the Washington historian William Blum has documented, since 1945, the US has destroyed or subverted more than 50 governments, many of them democracies, and used mass murderers like Suharto, Mobutu and Pinochet to dominate by proxy. In the Middle East, every […]
The Imperial Presidency
by Ian Huyett http://www.kstatecollegian.com/opinion/voters-not-happy-with-unmet-campaign-promises-1.2476766 People are often surprised to hear that I voted for Barack Obama in 2008. Obama and McCain, however, had nearly identical policies on the environment, the drug war, gay marriage, Israel, immigration and Iran. I decided on Obama after I heard the candidates’ differing […]
Libertarian Unionism
A surprising article from The Economist.
We Don't Serve Your Kind Here
Seattle restaurant refuses to serve TSA agents.
Line in the Sand
A new book from Dan Miller of the Texas Nationalist Movement. In “Line in the Sand,” Daniel Miller tackles the concepts of what ‘political will’ and ‘nationalism’ is and what they mean to Texans. He eloquently removes all reason for doubt concerning Texas independence and explains that maintaining […]
Politicial Nihilism
Thomas Naylor on the absurdities of the overlords of the empire. Life is absurd said French existentialist writers Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre back in the 1950s. But surely there is no more appropriate description of life in the American Empire sixty years later. Our lives are meaningless. […]
Artistry in Revolution
Thomas Naylor on why the Left and Right both get it wrong on secession. Unfortunately, the premise underlying the tea party, tenth amendment, and nullification movements is that the U.S. government is indeed fixable. All one need do is return to the Constitution and everything will be just […]
Monopoly: A Nice Trick If You Can Do It
Kevin Carson on the failures of the “progressive” regulatory state. But even after the economy became dominated by giant corporations, argued Gabriel Kolko in The Triumph of Conservatism, attempts to establish cartels by purely private means were largely failures. The big trusts immediately began losing market share to […]
Getting the Raw End in Wisconsin, Part 2
The second installment of David D’Amato’s article. The meaningful division is between those who use coercive manipulation of the bounds within which economic activities take place, and those who rely on voluntary, cooperative courses of action. Any number of organizational structures, including unions, would occupy a free market, […]
The Growing Antiwar Insurgency on the American Right
Kelley Vlahos and Gene Healy on the growing challenge to neocon hegemony. John Walsh discusses the prospect of a Left/Right antiwar alliance. What do the Right and Left bring to the antiwar movement? At this time, the Left brings greater numbers because the Cold War has led the […]
Getting the Raw End in Wisconsin
David D’Amato on the class conflict being played out in Wisconsin. In the political phraseology of the United States, bogged down in the vacuous false choice of Republican versus Democrat, proponents of the “free market” are allegedly not supposed to concern themselves with scoundrels like government workers’ unions. […]
In Libya and Elsewhere, the State Depends on Submission
David D’Amato provides a very good summary of the events of the Middle East. These countries’ productive majorities are no longer content to prop up and underwrite the dissolute culture of their “leaders,” to work their fingers to the bone while palace parties rage in their capital cities. […]
Youth for Western Civilization
Kevin DeAnna is interviewed by The New American.
British Teenagers More Concerned About Immigration Than Adults
Interesting article from London’s Evening Standard.
Jefferson, Not Jihad
Will Grigg on the anti-imperialist revolution in the Middle East. Will Grigg, blogger and author of Liberty in Eclipse, discusses the connection between Federal Reserve monetary policy and increased food prices around the world; the unprecedented scope of US empire (and the correspondingly large payroll); the Jeffersonian, rather […]
Watch the Revolution As It Happens
On Al-Jazeera English.
From Morocco to Malaysia
It’s 1776 in the Islamic world. Rashid Khalidi, author and professor of Middle East history and politics, discusses the spectacle of protesters from Morocco to Malaysia echoing the leaders of the American Revolution; how genuine reformist movements in Iran are undermined by US support; the endgame of US […]
Saddam Hussein-Not Bush and Cheney-Was Telling the Truth
Eric Margolis on why the Iraq War critics were right from the start. The US Congress and media bayed for action against Iraq. As war fever swept over the United States, this writer, an old Iraq hand and war correspondent, warned Powell’s claims were absurd and that Iraq […]
Is Federalism Good for Fetuses?
Pro-lifer James Banks explains why the pro-choice camp has mostly won the abortion debate. Even if certain states passed rigidly anti-abortion laws, state borders are porous; back in the 1980s, in my native state of Idaho, the drinking age was 18, while the drinking age in neighboring Washington […]
