Nexus X HumectressRon Holland thinks so. In Switzerland, the people still rule and have the ultimate right to decide decisions when the executive, judicial and representative branches of government fail to act in the best interests of the nation. Through the right of referendum they can cancel legislation and with […]
Article by Kevin Carson. The only solution is to get rid of the power. Political power is, in fact, the source of the wealth concentrations that fund the industry lobbyists and the campaign contributions. The wealth of big business and the plutocracy is funneled to them by subsidies, […]
From UhuruNews.Com On March 3, 2011, in St. Louis County, MO, Todd Shepard, 43, an African man, admitted to a jury that he deliberately killed a white policeman in 2008 after a white cop murdered his African girlfriend in a crime that the U.S. colonial courts ruled “justified.” […]
Statement from Native American prisoner on hunger strike at Ohio State Peniteniary (Lucasville) The following is a statement from Jason Campbell, an inmate in Ohio State Penitentiary where Lucasville uprising prisoners Siddique Abdullah Hasan, Bomani Shakur and Jason Robb recently won significant improvements in the terms of their […]
Striking back at the prison-industrial complex. As it goes, prisoners in Georgia are forced to work without pay for their labor—seemingly a violation of the 13th Amendment, which prohibits slavery and involuntary servitude. For months the prisoners had apparently used cell phones to get in touch with inmates […]
The original Black National-Anarchists? The notorious Black Spades was once the largest and most feared gang in New York City. Hailing from the Bronx, the Spades had as their warlord, Hip Hop pioneer Afrika Bambaataa. They were the precursors to Hip Hop.. We caught up with many of […]
Prisoners help build Patriot missiles. This spring, the United Arab Emirates is expected to close a deal for $7 billion dollars’ worth of American arms. Nearly half of the cash will be spent on Patriot missiles, which cost as much as $5.9 million apiece. But what makes those […]
On the political re-alignment to come. Looks like the New World Order isn’t going to be a global Big Socialist Government (unless, perhaps, you count corporate socialism). Barry Ritholtz wrote in September of last year: Every generation or so, a major secular shift takes place that shakes up the […]
Article by Jean Bricmont. The whole gang is back: The parties of the European Left (grouping the “moderate” European communist parties), the “Green” José Bové, now allied with Daniel Cohn-Bendit, who has never seen a US-NATO war he didn’t like, various Trotkyist groups and of course Bernard-Henry Lévy […]
An interesting discussion of secession from a white nationalist perspective from The Occidental Quarterly. Four years of bloodshed proved that the South was not strong enough to secede without the permission of the North. It steadily and gradually lost, militarily, a battle that it had already lost politically […]
Justin Raimondo on the latest round of neo-McCarthyism. During the “Brown Scare” of the 1930s, epitomized by the Dickstein “Special Committee” and the literary career of Carlson/Derounian, the cooperation of the Justice Department, Hoover’s G-men, and the left-wing “extremist”-hunting groups, such as the “Friends of Democracy,” and the […]
From the New York Times. The number of prisoners in California dropped by 4,000 last year, making Texas’s prison system the nation’s largest, at about 172,000. But the Texas legislature last year approved broad changes to the corrections system there, including expansions of drug treatment programs and drug […]
From the Guardian. A businessman who published a “terrorists’ handbook” that included information about how to make bombs has been found guilty of collecting and distributing material that could have led to attacks. Terence Brown made CDs containing thousands of pages of information at his home in Portsmouth. […]
Article by Jason Ditz. A hugely significant Reuters/Ipsos poll released today revealed that, when asked which programs they prefer to cut to reduce the rising budget deficit, that Americans dramatically prefer cuts to the military over other options. A solid majority, 51%, backed cutting military spending, strongly ahead […]
An establishment conservative who’s too smart to throw in his lot with the neocons on this issue, despite his cozy personal history with them. No, says George.
Yes! Article by Jason Ditz. Top commanders in the Israeli military are warning that the military is completely incapable of crushing an Egypt-style popular uprising in the West Bank, assuming one actually begins. “There is nothing for it,” one of the commanders noted, and while the Israeli military […]
Wonder how much longer he has to live? It would indeed be amazing if Saudi Arabia began to catch up with the seventeenth century. A senior Saudi prince questioned the need for a ban on women driving on Wednesday and said lifting it would be a quick first […]
What do you want to bet the U.S. will intervene if its oil puppet is threatened? Read the article. Saudi police opened fire Thursday to disperse a protest in the mainly Shiite east, leaving at least one man injured, as the government struggled to prevent a wave of […]
Occupation 101: A thought-provoking and powerful documentary film on the current and historical root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and U.S. political involvement. Watch the documentary in its entirety and uninterrupted on Youtube.
by Kevin DeAnna http://www.westernyouth.org/articles/what-they-really-think-about-us/ James O’Keefe continued his yeoman’s work exposing the progressive media for what they are — an arrogant elite bitterly hostile to Middle America. Disguised as a delegation from the fictional “Muslim Education Action Center,” which stated as an objective that “We must combat intolerance […]
Dave D’Amato explains the futility of electoralism. Counter to the statist categories of democracy that exist to give (in mainstream political jargon) a “mandate” to coercion, free market anarchists favor voluntary democracy. Leaving each individual free within her own sphere of decision-making autonomy, market anarchism contemplates group decisions […]
Kevin Carson on a true military hero. Bradley Manning, who has never actually been convicted of anything, is being punished for one crime, and one crime alone: Embarrassing the United States government. He has exposed the criminal activities of the U.S. government — including war crimes by American […]
Interesting bit of obscure history. Catholic priest and radio-personality Charles Coughlin’s Christian Front, the German American Bund, the Black Legion, and a variety of nationalist, anti-Semitic, and/or isolationist groups opposed to President Roosevelt, “Moneyed Interests,” and Marxism attracted over a million members and supporters during that decade. Collectively, […]
Article 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 […]
