Nexus X HumectressNeve Gordon explains why. Dan Margalit, a well-known commentator, made this point clear when he explained that Israel does not disapprove of a democracy in the largest Arab country but simply privileges Israel’s peace agreement with Egypt over internal Arab affairs. Israel, one should note, is not alone […]
Sheldon Richman wants to know. It would have been bad enough to torture people actually suspected of wrongdoing, but the Bush administration went well beyond that. Many people subjected to hideous treatment were picked up on the flimsiest of “evidence.” People were offered bounties to turn others in; […]
Thomas Naylor describes a sad day in Vermont history. Is it possible that out of the ashes of the First Vermont Republic a Second Vermont Republic might emerge? Might not Vermont experience a kind of resurrection from the dead, or at least from its two-century long slumber, resulting […]
Andrew Bacevich offers his analysis in the Los Angeles Times. When first conceived in the wake of 9/11, two convictions underpinned that war. According to the first, precluding further attacks on the United States meant that the Islamic world needed to change. According to the second, because Muslims […]
Article by Justin Raimondo. As events in Libya continue to race forward, I think my initial analysis is roughly accurate: while the Eastern provinces have rid themselves of Gadhafi, in Tripoli pro-government mobs are taking to the streets, and the dictator and his equally daffy son seem to […]
Article by Andy Worthington. It was, however, a third piece of news that particularly brightened up my last few days in Poland, when I was able to tell audiences that George W. Bush had just cancelled a proposed trip to Switzerland on February 12 because two former victims […]
After 42 years in power, is the Colonel on his way out?
by John Payne http://www.amconmag.com/postright/2011/02/15/bizarro-history-repeating/ The most famous battle in the long, internecine war on the right between libertarians and traditionalists was fought over Labor Day weekend, 1969 at the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) convention in Saint Louis. The two groups argued semi-peacefully over a number of proposed […]
Is the Islamic world finally catching up with the 19th century? Charles Glass thinks so.
Conducted by Alex Kurtagic. This is an interesting quote: To return to your provocative question, in my fantasyland, there would still be a Left and a Right—and granolas and libertarians and animal rights activists and Mormons, et al.—but they would operate within Western unity and natural hierarchy. Some, […]
A writer for the right-wing isolationist JBS has some bone to pick with the left-wing anti-imperialist Chomsky. And they both think modern America parallels Weimar Germany, but for different reasons. See the article. So who is it that threatens America? Fascists of the Left or fascists of the […]
Unions: heroes or villains? Murray Rothbard thought it was the latter. What do you think? Back during my serious leftist-anarchist days, I used to do strike support work for unions including the Greyhound strike Rothbard discusses. My experience was that most strikers couldn’t be bothered to even show […]
Kevin Carson explains. Also, be sure to check out this classic from Joseph Stromberg.
Ron Paul wants to end foreign aid to all Middle Eastern countries. Sensible enough. Read all about it. And David Horowitz goes off his meds in response. Horowitz’s rants have about as much rationality or coherence as the typical Weather Underground communique circa 1969. So much for his […]
One puppet state after another is falling or going its own way. Pat Buchanan explains.
Paul Gottfried gives an overview. Is what Krauthammer proposes really self-rule for other countries, or is it acceptance of a permanent American suzerainty? He seems far less willing to allow Egypt to go its own way than to have Egyptians live according to his wishes. Why not describe […]
Pat Buchanan wonders.
Paul Craig Roberts explains. Does democracy really exist in a land where the media is incompetent and the government is unaccountable and lies through its teeth every time if opens its mouth? “Curveball” represents a new level of immorality. Rafid al-Janabi shares responsibility for one million dead Iraqis, […]
Burn Your School! John Whitehead explains why.
Kevin Zeese talks about the Come Home America project. Listen to the interview with Scott Horton. Check out the website. This is really good stuff.
It figures. Read the statement from the Libertarian Party. WASHINGTON – The Libertarian Party criticizes the Obama administration’s recent statement demanding more military spending from House Republicans. The administration claims that the Republican spending bill currently under debate does not provide enough military funding. According to the administration, […]
Good for them. Read all about it.
by Jack Ross http://www.amconmag.com/postright/2011/02/15/losing-sight-of-what-matters-in-egypt-and-beyond/ The neocons are regrettably all too skillful in their use of the big lie — in this case, the maddening whopper that the protesters in Egypt and beyond are carrying out the global democratic revolution proclaimed by George W. Bush. Increasingly, this lie is […]
by Paul Bonneau http://www.strike-the-root.com/what-is-to-be-done-with-statists Have you ever wondered what freedom would look like? The big picture, I mean; not just like what it would be like to smoke some pot without being beat up by thugs. Strangely enough, any realistic picture of freedom will have to include statists […]
Says David D’Amato. Anarchism builds on the proposition that smaller communities, growing outward from the sovereign individual, ought to determine for themselves the parameters of governing social mores. “Any decentralized, post-state society … ,” teaches the work of Kevin Carson, “is likely to be a panarchy,” a diverse […]
So says Kevin Carson. In press commentary on the recent events in Egypt, there were frequent expressions of concern that Egypt might be falling into “anarchy.” “Anarchy,” in conventional journalistic usage, means chaos, disorder, and bloodshed — a Hobbesian war of all against all — that occurs when […]
Sign up here. Thanks to Miles Joyner for setting it up.
Murray Rothbard’s takedown of “movement conservatism” from 1969. There is no way that you can overthrow the Jones-Teague clique, for this clique is entrenched in power. And behind this clique lie the fusionist gurus: the Buckleys, and Rushers, and Meyers. And behind them lie the real power in […]
Read the New York Times report on Congress’ affirmation of the police state.
A South Carolina state politician wants the state to develop its own gold and silver-based currency in case the Federal Reserve collapses and hyper-inflation ensues. “If folks lose faith in the dollar, we need to have some kind of backup,” State Sen. Lee Bright told the Spartanburg Herald […]
Radley Balko explains why.
Another “isolated incident.”
Nice work, Andrew and friends! Read about the protest on the Occidental Dissent site.
Alex Kurtagic interviews Dr. Kevin MacDonald. Agree with all of MacDonald’s views or not, lack of courage is not one of his faults. It takes some backbone to hold these kinds of beliefs in the academic world.
The Black metropolis of Detroit is, in many respects, a “food desert” where “both economic and physical barriers stand between people and their access to healthy and affordable foods.” But D-Town activists believe the people can grow and organize themselves out of the desert, through urban agriculture. “In […]
…is that uber-psycho-fruitcake John McInsane is not president. Richard Spencer explains why.
Maury Knutson takes down the high priestess of greed.
MRDA explains.
We know the answer to that one, don’t we?
Kevin DeAnna of Youth for Western Civilization explains why.
Check out the blog of Timothy P. Carney. This guy does a pretty good number on the corporate state from a conservative-libertarian perspective.
Maury Knutson explains here and here.

We’re in the process of changing over to a new web server and are experiencing the predictable technical difficulties. Be patient. We’ll be back in business soon enough.
During the reign of George W. Bush, I generally argued that the foundational issues for the construction of a genuine resistance movement in the USA should be the growth of the police state and the increasingly aggressive nature of American foreign policy, and that the primary method of […]
Rarely do I find a single article that illustrates the immensely sharp and important differences between genuine radicalism and the totalitarian humanist outlook of the Left establishment. But this article by Thaddeus Russell illustrates the difference very clearly. The content of this article illustrates as well as anything […]
Listen to the podcast.
Once again, Pat Buchanan reveals himself to be the most sensible of any foreign policy commentator who is relatively mainstream or well-known. Read the article at Taki’s Mag. There really is no substitute for hard-nosed realism.
by Jack Ross http://www.amconmag.com/postright/2011/02/06/reagan-at-100/ The need to finally blog about something other than Egypt moves me to acknowledge the gathering out of the TAC vault to acknowledge the Reagan centennial. Dan came closest to nailing it of anyone in this review for Reason, that he was an enormously […]
We’re gonna get you yet, Georgie! I’m sure Vincent Bugliosi is thrilled with this news.
