Nexus X HumectressWatch the video. Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, who is also anti-Fed, anti-war and pro-gold, rips President Obama big time over attacking Libya. A sound argument, with a very interesting final warning.
Article by Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya The U.S. and its allies are embarking on another regime change operation. Before they started their attacks on the Libyans, they admitted that there would be civilians casualities in an act of irony. They claim to be acting to save civilians, but they […]
by Kevin DeAnna http://www.westernyouth.org/articles/what-does-this-have-to-do-with-us/ Our government has one basic job. Before anything else, the federal government has to ensure the physical security of the nation. This includes securing the borders, preventing foreign invasion, and discouraging attacks against the national territory and American citizens. Obviously, our government doesn’t do […]
Watch the video at LRC. Hat tip to David Kramer. A principled liberal (unfortunately, there are so few now that one of theirs is in office) calls for the impeachment of the current “liberal” murderer in the White House. Where’s the outrage from the rest of the left […]
by Vinay Gupta 1. City States: If Italy collapsed as a nation state, but remained peaceful, Naples and Venice and so on could theoretically join the EU with very little in life changing. 2. Rational Borders: The suburbs of Geneva are in France. If they were in the […]
…Because the cops are the personal army of the political class. Great video from Francois Tremblay’s blog.
Finally, some commonsense ideas on education reform. This is what real education looks like. Article from the New York Times. The students in the Independent Project are remarkable but not because they are exceptionally motivated or unusually talented. They are remarkable because they demonstrate the kinds of learning […]
Recently, one of my occasional debating partners put this question to me: “Keith: What, in your worldview, would be the most viable form of government…or do you have an absolute ideal?” My response: Well, all systems end up being oligarchies. There really is no other kind of system, […]
As one who is neither a left-libertarian nor a Friedmanite, I found this exchange somewhat interesting. I find class analysis far too useful and illuminating to be tempted by Friedman’s proposed solution, but I think he has put his finger in a genuine problem: how exactly are we […]
Article by Kevin Carson. So given the high stakes of a nuclear meltdown, and the manifest inability of planners to anticipate what might go wrong, it would make sense to ban nuclear power, right? Well, the actual problem is that governments worldwide have been actively intervening for decades […]
Article by Bill Lind. Bean-counting won’t do the job. For meaningful savings, we must begin by changing our grand strategy, which presently defines virtually everything that happens in the world as an American interest. Against the Founders’ advice, we are not only playing the great power game, we […]
Article by Tim Dionisopoulos An interesting article was recently published in the New York Times by Timothy Egan about the burgeoning phenomenon of ethnically homogeneous, non white, counties and suburban cities that are sprouting up across the country. A primarily West Coast phenomenon, sociologists have termed these new […]
Article by Kevin DeAnna. Hisham Melham writes in Foreign Policy that the Arab Revolutions are meeting more resistance. Autocratic rulers are using the heterogenous nature of the societies they lead to divide the opposition and frustrate any plans for reform. In homogeneous societies it is relatively easier for […]
Article from World Net Daily. Helen Thomas, the former “dean” of the White House Press Corps who lost her position over a string of anti-Semitic comments, is interviewed in the April issue of Playboy, renewing her criticism of Israel and Jews in “control” of America. “[The Jews are] […]
Mike Gogulski interviewed by Scott Horton. Mike Gogulski, founder of the Bradley Manning Support Network, discusses the myriad events going on this weekend (March 19-20) in support of Bradley Manning; Obama’s decision to rely on Pentagon assurances that Manning was being appropriately treated in custody – after (former) […]
Article by Lew Rockwell. For weeks, American officials have been decrying Gaddafi’s bloody attacks on his people, but does the US really have a problem with dictatorship of his sort? This fact is unknown to Americans, but in the Middle East, and in Arab nations in particular, American […]
by Ian Huyett http://www.kstatecollegian.com/opinion/us-should-end-relationship-with-conspiring-israel-1.2516462 In 2005, Israeli President Moshe Katsav publically honored nine Jewish terrorists. In a televised ceremony, the terrorists were celebrated for bombing American embassy buildings in Egypt with nitroglycerine and acid. Israel, which had denied its involvement in the attacks for decades, was now openly […]
Article from The Wall Street Journal Some lawmakers, judges and regulators are trying to rein in the U.S. debt-collection industry’s use of arrest warrants to recoup money owed by borrowers who are behind on credit-card payments, auto loans and other bills. More than a third of all U.S. […]
It looks like the U.S. may be getting into a war in yet another Middle Eastern country. The good news is that this will only hasten the empire’s demise due to imperial overstretch. Read the Reuters report. French diplomatic sources said military action could come within hours, and […]
Report from CBS News. Wholesale prices jumped last month by the most in nearly two years due to higher energy costs and the steepest rise in food prices in 36 years. Excluding those volatile categories, inflation was tame. The Labor Department said Wednesday that the Producer Price Index […]
Article by Jack Ross. On March 11-13, a small conference of around 200 gathered on the University of Pennsylvania campus in Philadelphia with potential significance extending far beyond its modest attendance. This was the national membership meeting of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), a group founded in San […]
Article by Doug Bandow. Obviously, there are times when war is tragically necessary. That is not the case in Libya. Even in better economic times, Washington cannot afford to police the world. With a $1.65 trillion deficit this year, trillions of dollars in red ink expected in coming […]
Building a de facto Tlingit Nation, Part 3 – Clans and tribal law by Raven Warrior http://lingitlatseen.wordpress.com/2011/03/17/building-a-de-facto-tlingit-nation-part-3-clans-and-tribal-law/ In 2 previous posts, I discussed how we can use various Tlingit controlled institutions, municipal governments and ANCSA Corporations, to build a decentralized, de facto Tlingit Nation. Many of the problems […]
If Charlie Sheen ran for Prez, I might have to rescind my personal “no voting” policy and cast a ballot for him. Hat tip to Maury2K. http://gawker.com/#!5783033/independents-pick-sheen-over-palin-for-president We’ve found a lot of brutal poll numbers for Sarah Palin so far in 2011: down in South Dakota, down in […]
Our lovely educational system. Hat tip to Raven Warrior. The Summit County judge who sent an Akron mother to jail after she was convicted of falsifying records so her children could attend Copley-Fairlawn schools said considerable efforts were made to resolve the case before it went to trial. […]
How the tax code really works. Articles by Tom Baugh. Hat tip to Jim Duncan. Part I To thrive in any system, you must first recognize the reality of that system, and then act accordingly in order to manipulate its energy to your own purpose. We too often […]
The American Conservative takes on vulgar economism. Certainly the world looks very different from Tokyo, not least because East Asian leaders are convinced that, in its ever more heedless commitment to laissez faire, the United States is digging its own grave. But of course, East Asians are discreet […]
Daily business for the police state. CINCINNATI, OHIO – MARCH 9, 2011 – Prosecutor Deters announced yesterday that no charges will be filed against the Sheriffs who beat John Harmon. John Harmon is African American. John Harmon and his wife of 25 years owns a printing company in […]
The latest from the PC Inquisition and Official Tolerance. Had a student with more politically correct leanings made a video that resulted in a barrage of death threats, she would be held up as a hero, and there would be a massive nationwide investigation to find those who […]
This is an extremely important article from David Swanson at Counterpunch.Org, the bastion of the honorable Left (as opposed to the usual kind of Left). I’m reproducing the article here in full. Nor should this be interpreted as softness when it comes to Bush as I support Vincent […]
Book review by Amanda Bradley. I expected this book to be a diatribe against the often-discussed “loser” men—those who, not having any marketable skill, are still living off their parents into mid-life. Manning Up actually is about a new demographic, the SYM (single young male), its female counterpart, […]
Article by Justin Raimondo. 1) Because the moment we intervene, we’ll own what’s going on in Libya – just like we own Iraq. Neocons eager to acquire another Middle East colony are understandably eager to jump into the fray, but there’s less excuse for the centrist-to-leftish “humanitarian” interventionists, […]
Article by Gene Healy. Should we get involved in another civil war in the Middle East? Sure! What could possibly go wrong? That seems to be the way the Libya debate’s trending here in D.C. Ever generous with other Americans’ blood and treasure, Beltway pols and pundits are […]
That says it all. During the three-day conference, delegates will have the opportunity to choose from dozens of informative sessions and participate in the pro-Israel community’s largest and most important advocacy day. HOMELESS : Millions of US Citizens in Dire Straits While Our Congress Sends Israel Billions of […]
It’s probably safe to assume that this person “has issues,” as they say. A former neo-Nazi skinhead has had a change of direction – by changing sex, becoming a nurse and joining a left wing party. Monika Strub, an ex-member of Germany’s neo-Nazi NPD party, is running for […]
by Susan McWilliams at the Front Porch Republic. President Obama has convened his “competitiveness council,” following up on the “competitiveness” theme in January’s State of the Union address. “Competitiveness” is the buzzword of the moment. You know it’s a buzzword because people are saying “competitiveness” instead of saying […]
Article by Thomas Sowell. If development is considered to be so bad, why is redevelopment considered to be good, by many of the same people? Redevelopment imposes the supposedly superior wisdom and virtue of an elite on the rest of us. That is its ideological appeal to self-congratulatory […]
Duh? Article by Francois Tremblay. Roderick Long answers the charge that anti-capitalists are jealous of the wealthy, by pointing out that it’s the asymmetry between the rights of the rich and the rights of the poor that is at issue, not just inequality of wealth. It’s not about […]
Article by David D’Amato. The disastrous failures of energy facilities following Japan’s earthquakes once more testify to the calamities innate in statism. The state’s system of monopoly privilege — both in its public and nominally private sectors — is rigid, unresponsive to changing circumstances, and therefore brittle. Important […]
Article by Thomas Naylor. As evidence of Vermont’s strong anti-war stance, back in 2003 the entire Vermont Congressional Delegation voted against the resolution authorizing the war in Iraq. Nearly eight years later, it’s hard to believe that Senator Bernie Sanders, the darling of the Left, Senator Patrick Leahy, […]
Article by Thomas Naylor. When my family moved to Vermont in 1993, it was due in no small part to the fact that we thought the Green Mountain state was different from most states, very different. We perceived Vermont to be smaller, more rural, more democratic, less violent, […]
Hat tip to Peter Bjorn Perls. E conomic growth, which was supposed to ensure the affluence and well-being of everyone, has created needs more quickly than it could satisfy them, and has led to a series of dead ends that are not solely economic in character: Capitalist growth […]
Hat tip to Peter Bjorn Perls. Given all the data, due to New York’s geographical lay out, population size and proximity to power, it is a prime candidate for insurrection. There are currently 2.9 million people living in New York that are on food stamps, which is equivalent […]
Article by Kelley Vhlahos. One hundred and forty-five years later, the room was almost pleasant. There was an embrasure with an open window at the extreme end of the casemate, looking out over the moat and the pretty buildings of Fort Monroe beyond. The sun played over the […]
Article by Leonard Goodman. For too long, U.S. policy toward Israel has been controlled by AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), a group that demands unequivocal support for all Israel’s policies even when they are indefensible. AIPAC’s power was on display last month when a resolution was brought […]
Article by Maury2K. RevLeft.com is a website where purportedly 8,000 radical leftists from around the world meet for discussions, et al. Every breed of cat seems to be represented: Social Democrats & anarchists, Stalinists & Trotskyists, DeLeonists & ecofreaks, you name it and they’re all there. Nearly everyone, […]
Article by David D’Amato. Because the primary interventions of the state capitalist system are so deeply embedded, those interventions closer to the surface — state action like minimum wage laws, etc. — are often more easily recognized; the mistake, so often made by well-meaning champions of the working […]
by Ian Huyett http://www.kstatecollegian.com/opinion/resistance-1.2512800 We’ll always be able to trust the government with a monopoly on force. Cooperate when threatened, and you won’t be hurt. The assumptions behind gun control laws are so blatantly and dangerously wrong that it must take some intellect to trick oneself into believing […]
Interesting discussion between Aaron Russo and Alex Jones. These are not proven facts, but if this is true, it gives some very valuable insights into the political agendas and strategies of the ruling class.
Sovereign citizens on the rise. Five people in the Fairbanks area were arrested Thursday by state and federal law enforcement on charges connected with an alleged plot to kidnap or kill state troopers and a Fairbanks judge, according to the Alaska State Troopers. Francis “Schaeffer” Cox, Lonnie Vernon, […]
