Nexus X HumectressGood stuff from Jack Hunter. Also, a very astute analysis of the irreversible decline of the American empire from Dilip Hiro. Those familiar with stock exchanges know that the share price of a dwindling company does not go over a cliff in a free fall. It declines, attracts new […]
Read his obituary at The American Conservative. And read how a conservative Catholic writer for National Review became an anarchist.
I recently had a conversation with a professional sociologist, a liberal who actually believes in federal bureaucracy as an ideal, and who claimed that the best way of measuring the size of government is to consider the total number of government employees and their ratio to the size […]
Jason McQuinn’s piece on Stirner from Anarchy: A Journal of Desire Armed.
Watch it on Youtube. The Spirit of ’36 lives on.
New extended essay by Kevin Carson.
Landmark Canadian court ruling. Bedford and prostitutes Valerie Scott and Amy Lebovitch took on the legal might of the federal and provincial governments, their battle waged on a shoestring legal aid budget and the volunteer services of expert witnesses and lawyers. Scott said the decision means sex workers […]

Obama argues his assassination program is a state secret. Glenn Greenwald discusses it. Says Glenn: At this point, I didn’t believe it was possible, but the Obama administration has just reached an all-new low in its abysmal civil liberties record. In response to the lawsuit filed by Anwar […]
Bill Bishop discusses his book “The Big Sort” where he talks about the political splintering of the U.S. into liberal and conservative local communities.
A study showing where the rural poor are located, including a breakdown along ethnic lines. Unfortunately, the authors offer no solutions other than more welfare statism. One thing I would love to see anarchists and libertarians do is wage a campaign to expose and attack laws and regulations […]
Some comments from a reader named “Jared”: Totalitarian humanism is something that I agree is a serious threat and where I live in Canada, it has advanced into law where people can be incarcerated for expressing opinions that are deemed hateful. [Keith: At present, the First Amendment and […]
There are some great quotes in this.
To what degree are Americans integrated or segregated? Cartographer Eric Fischer figures it out.
Kevin Carson says yes. There’s some pretty good discussion going on with this, including comments from Carson, Gary Chartier, and myself.
Homicide Rates in the United States 1900-1990
Chris George recently offered these comments in response to my “Liberty and Populism: Building an Effective Resistance Movement for North America” essay. Chris raises some really good issues here. I’d like to know what others here might have to say on some of these questions. On the whole, […]
Lew Rockwell interviews filmmaker Brent Leung. Listen to the podcast.
Interesting article from Scott Ritter. It is in this topsy-turvy world created by political hype and media spin that a president can, with a straight face, announce the withdrawal of American “combat troops” from Iraq, while leaving behind six combat brigades (renamed, but not reorganized) comprising some 50,000 […]
Press coverage from regional media. Read the article here. And other article here. Why Vermont Gubernatorial Candidates Are Afraid to Debate Dennis Steele by Thomas Naylor (Thanks, Jim!)
U.S. Census Bureau data on population growth. Clearly, the growth of incarceration rates is light years ahead of what could be accounted for by ordinary population growth. The Census Bureau also provides projections for the future, but these are highly speculative. We have shown their ‘middle estimates’ extending […]
The U.S. prison population has quintupled since 1980.
Helpful tips from Radley Balko. So far Massachusetts is the only state to explicitly uphold a conviction for recording on-duty cops, and Illinois and Massachusetts are the only states where it is clearly illegal. The Illinois law has yet to be considered by the state’s Supreme Court, while […]
Some interesting stats on the clearance rates for crimes. Two in five murderers, three in five rapists, and three in four armed robbers, and nine in ten burglars “get away with it.” It’s also true that in some large cities the clearance rate for homicides is less than […]
Some more gems from AltRight: PCU by Paul Gottfried Although PC is taught at elite universities, its function there is entirely different from what it is elsewhere. In the Ivies, for example, PC constitutes the ideological basis of the present managerial order. It is the sacral and legitimating […]
“I’ve Never Seen a Poor Person Give Anyone a Job” “A Government of Laws? Tell Me Another One”
From “Miles,” a poster on Chris George’s blog: “The Deacons for Defense and the Black Panthers, in my eyes, were legitimate anti-racists who acted against racist governments for self-determination. But then again, most of the members of these groups (esp. the Panthers) were involved in community movements and […]
Interesting new article from Tom Naylor. Tom argues that “liberation” is a better term. My guess is that nothing will appease the PC Inquisitors irrespective of what kind of terminology we employ, nor do I think we should bother with trying to appease the forces of PC. But […]
The U.S. now has its highest poverty rate since 1965. We’ve got to get this class struggle thing moving.
Good stuff from the always interesting John Robb.
Great interview with Dennis Steele of the Second Vermont Republic. We need a Dennis Steele in every state and locality in the U.S.A.
And this guy is supposed to be the leader of the Far-Right Homophobes? So how long is it going to be before a reignited class struggle replaces the culture wars? This data is also interesting.
When even an arch-imperialist like Thomas Friedman says the Empire is on its way down due to financial ruin, it must be true. Obama’s escalation of the war in Afghanistan, the “graveyard of empires,” is apparently going to be the empire’s last hurrah. So what’s next on our […]
A realist approach from John Hospers, the first LP presidential candidate in 1972. He even got an electoral vote. This is the essay I would write, almost word for word, if I were going to do an extended discussion of the issue.
New essay from Michael Parish. The basic tenants of liberalism are not, ironically, arrived at through deductive logic but through an arduous process of mental abstraction. What is presented to us by rationalists as a realist assessment of the world is in truth a vague conceptualization produced by […]
That’s the question the Libertarian Alliance is asking. Produce a good essay on the question and maybe you can win 1,000 British pounds. Anyone here up to the challenge?
An interesting discussion between Robert Higgs and Kevin Carson at C4SS. I throw in my own two cents worth as well. Read it all here.
Good piece from Jeremy. As an anarchist, I believe that distributed systems of decision making like the market are the best ways for processing information and organizing society. Central planning doesn’t work, and my ideology seeks to better understand the way humans relate rather than making them turn […]
From Lila Rajiva’s blog. Hess really was one of the all-time greats. “I am in total opposition to any institutional power. I favor a world of neighborhoods in which all social organization is voluntary and the ways of life are established in small, consenting groups. These groups could […]
Here’s how. A National Anarchist in America may exhibit the following stereotypical characteristics. They will often claim to have a staunch independent streak and critical thinking skills. They are also: White Americans (not always, but at the present time 99 times out of 100 this is the case), […]
Good stuff from our friend Raven Warrior.
New article on the Vermont secession movement. (Thanks, Jim)
Some thoughtful comments from David Heleniak: I don’t think “our side” should give up on trying a counter-infiltration of the key institutions taken over by the PC Left. Many lawyers, for example, are committed to civil liberties, ye olde English traditions, etc. They can be allies in someone’s […]
Part three of the series is now up at AlternativeRight.Com
Here are some points we need to be thinking about: -Past partisan cycles indicate that the Democratic Party will be the dominant political party for the next few decades. -Research on public opinion regarding controversial issues along with prevailing cultural, demographic, economic, and generational trends indicates that the […]
New post at BANA’s blog from Andrew.
This guy is fairly impressive. He’s a young guy as well, and seems much less doctrinaire that previous generations of libertarians. Yet he retains the radical flavor of libertarianism. Check out his articles here.
Watch it on Youtube. Hat tip to Francois Tremblay.
Jesse Walker on Angelo Codevilla’s The Ruling Class as well as its weakness. Christians, Tell Me How I’m Wrong by James Leroy Wilson Police Secrecy by Radley Balko Against the Current Court System by Francois Tremblay An Ultra-Left Case Against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by Charles […]
Watch it here. I have some very serious reservations about protesting a film, book, work of art, etc. but Andrew presents himself and makes his case quite well in this interview.
Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic by Chalmers Johnson
