"If they were to do real investigations we would see several
significant high level criminal prosecutions in this country. And
that is something that they are not going to let out. And,
believe me; they will do everything to cover this up."

The Free State Project wants libertarians to take over New Hampshire. Is this a revolutionary plan or a pipe dream?

The major problem with the notion that the FSP will bring liberty in our times to New Hampshire is that many of America’s tyrannical impositions, from the most evil to the most petty, come from the federal level. And the FSP is very vocally not a secessionist movement.

Amos Elon, looking over the list of books you've written in the past decades - "The Israelis," "Herzl," "The Rothschilds," "The Pity of It All" on German-Jewish history - it's like the Zionist movie is being rewound; the whole trajectory is from Israel backward.

For those who don't know who RAW is, or seems to be, the man is an icon for being an iconoclast. Throughout his forty some odd years writing biting social commentary with a sly psychedelic wit, he has used the language of a street comedian rather than a pundit on a soapbox. In other words, while most people who read tons of books seem happy with describing that particular part of the elephant they are assigned to describe, to the utmost detail, RAW seems different.

Darwinism has been on financial life-support for a hundred years. To put it out of its misery, voters need only pull the plug. Vote no on every school bond issue. Pull your kids out of the public schools. Pay as you go.

Reforming the public schools is like sending a physician into the local red light district to certify the health of the industry's full-time professionals. This makes things physically safer for their clients. Demand therefore increases. I ask: "Why subsidize debauchery?" But, then again, I'm an extremist.

A Christmas Carol by G.K. Chesterton

The Christ-child lay on Mary's lap,
His hair was like a light.
(O weary, weary were the world,
But here is all aright.)

The Christ-child lay on Mary's breast,
His hair was like a star.
(O stern and cunning are the kings,
But here the true hearts are.)

The Christ-child lay on Mary's heart,
His hair was like a fire.
(O weary, weary is the world,
But here the world's desire.)

The Christ-child stood on Mary's knee,
His hair was like a crown,
And all the flowers looked up at Him,
And all the stars looked down.

"I am convinced that those societies (such as the Native American peoples) which live without government enjoy in their general mass an infinitely greater degree of happiness than those who live under the European governments. Among the former, public opinion is in the place of law, & restrains morals as powerfully as laws ever did anywhere. Among the latter, under pretence of governing they have divided their nations into two classes, wolves & sheep. I do not exaggerate."
- Thomas Jefferson

"The modern theory of the perpetuation of debt has drenched the earth with blood, and crushed its inhabitants under burdens ever accumulating."
- Thomas Jefferson

"I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country."
- Thomas Jefferson

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a moneyed aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs."
- Thomas Jefferson

"The system of banking we have both equally and ever reprobated. I contemplate it as a blot left in all our constitutions, which, if not covered, will end in their destruction. I sincerely believe, with you...that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."
- Thomas Jefferson

"To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition. The incorporation of a bank, and the powers assumed by this bill [chartering the first Bank of the United States] have not, in my opinion, been delegated to the United States by the Constitution. They are not among the powers specially enumerated."
- Thomas Jefferson

"I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution - taking from the Federal government their power of borrowing (from privately-owned corporate banks)."
- Thomas Jefferson

"We are undone, my dear sir, if legislation is still permitted which makes our money, much or little, real or imaginary, as the moneyed interests shall choose to make it."
- Thomas Jefferson

Bush Immigration Comments in Press Conference and Full Transcript.

The Most Frightening Question

Existential quandaries often create confusion and terror in human beings. That is why life's "big questions" are best pondered in a peaceful state of mind. Nothing is more dangerous than an anguished Homo sapiens asking, "Who am I? Why am I here? What does it all mean?" In a state of emotional agony, the answers one receives to these questions will be distorted by one's pain.

In a Democracy Now! national broadcast exclusive, we speak with former Army Reserve Specialist Aidan Delgado. At Abu Ghraib, he witnessed U.S. soldiers abuse and killing of Iraqi detainees. Video and Transcript . . .

More than any other group, the American Civil Liberties Union – founded by avowed communist Roger Baldwin – is behind what many are calling a legal jihad against public expression of the Christian faith in America.

Looking Backward: "by Edward Bellamy"

Secularists consider religion a barbaric habit of the unenlightened. Religious faith, however, has been the mainspring of human growth and progress.

Webb's theme is simple: The cast-iron Scots-Irish were as vital to the maturing Republic as the English intellectuals and aristocrat planters who penned its primordial documents and laws, and the unique but unheralded Scots-Irish contributions shaped the American cultural, political and religious landscape.

So what is the media's role? Is it to reveal the truth for all its guts and glory? Or is it something we can spare our audience yet still retain the impact?

Christian Zionism: Dispensationalism And The Roots Of Sectarian Theology

Dispensationalism is one of the most influential theological systems within the universal church today. Largely unrecognised and subliminal, it has increasingly shaped the presuppositions of fundamentalist, evangelical, Pentecostal and charismatic thinking concerning Israel and Palestine over the past one hundred and fifty years.

Soul-free conservatism

The book is cast as a personal memoir: how the author, after decades of uneasiness about where conservatism was headed, finally broke with the movement over Iraq. But he also rewrites the history of conservatism. The movement's standard history depicts a brilliant intellectual, political and cultural Long March, with a few unfortunate digressions. To Gold, conservatism's history has been a tale of gaining the world but losing your soul.

Closure Needed on Political Allegation of Security Breach

Grand National Party (GNP) lawmakers Joo Sung-young and Park Seung-hwan have stoked further antagonism between the ruling and opposition parties by alleging that Uri Party lawmaker Lee Chul-woo joined North Korea's Korean Workers Party (KWP) in 1992 and was still secretly active in its ranks.

During a plenary session on the last day of the regular National Assembly Thursday, the two GNP lawmakers' issued the accusation that led to a volley of recriminations.

"Lee joined the KWP in 1992, receiving the party codename 'Daedunsan 820,' and is still secretly active within its ranks," said Rep. Joo on Wednesday.

"Among the 161 lawmakers that have agreed to the bill abolishing the National Security Law, are there a few more that are members of the KWP?" he asked, adopting a strategy of rhetoric to undermine the ruling party's strong push for the controversial proposal...

Having worked with the late Lt. General Daniel O. Graham, lobbyist and visionary of the Reagan-era Strategic Defense Initiative (dubbed by media as "Star Wars"), it shouldn't surprise anyone that I support such a satellite-based defensive program. (See: Dems Decry Mystery Spy Program; CNN, Dec. 9, 2004.)

Firstly, satellites (as they are expensive and necessary--for reasons as mundane as, say, cellular phone connectivity, which we all will use soon enough...) should be able to fend off incoming projectiles. The satellites, themselves, should be self-protected.

Secondly, the laws of physics dictate that it is difficult and extremely "iffy," that a land-based missile interception program can and will and even would work. This is an old discussion. Suffice it to say, that with MIRVed (Multiple Re-Entry Vehicle) cones affixed to ICBMs (intercontinental-) and SLBMs (submarine-launched ballistic missiles), any one rocket could dispatch several or many decoys, amongst which a few nuclear warheads are also dispatched. A land-based missile defense system (something far more advanced than Patriot anti-ballistic missile tech.) would still not respond quickly enough or discern accurately enough the probability of every incoming MIRV warhead.

The answer must be issued from space.

The U.S. wasted a hell of a lot of time in quashing Dan Graham and Robert Morris's "High Frontiers" program and vision. Obviously, research has been continuing on this front since the end of the Reagan era; to what extent is beyond my clearance-level (of which I have none).

With China and a Putin-led (increasingly scary) Russia possessing large quantities of ICBMs and SLBMs, the "Cold War" has never ended. Such is another media myth. And, no, the U.S. ain't the world's "good guy," either. But as any homeowner is allowed to possess and dispatch firearms, when necessary to protect his abode, so, too, should a nation be able to protect its terrain and citizenry.

It would be great if Bush, Cheney, et al would add Raja Shehadeh's book “The Law of the Land” to their nightstands along with Sharansky's. For that matter, I wish Sharansky, who believes “one-sided concessions only encourage terror” would read “The Law of the Land”, just to learn what it is that actually brings about terror and what tyranny is.

U.S.-Mexico Merger Accelerates - Insider Report - December 13, 2004

In an interview with Reforma, Powell promised that “progress on migration” — that is to say, amnesty for illegal aliens — would be a second-term priority for President Bush, albeit one pursued incrementally. “It’s important for us to go after that which is doable and not go after something that we know is beyond our reach,” he stated.

We seem to be locked into a course leading to straight to disaster for Iraq and for the United States as well. Once admired, we are now despised throughout the world, as we are led by a man-child who is unmoved by reason and evidence, deaf to the advice of others, incapable both of considering alternative courses of action or of admitting error on his part.

The Roberts Report – which was also doctored before being released – blamed Admiral [Husband] Kimmel and General [Walter] Short for the defeat. Now the two Army and Navy reports expand the guilt to cover General Marshall, Admiral Stark and former Secretary of State Hull.

This pathetic tragedy of blunders may be summed up as follows:

The publication and initial widespread circulation of a book, "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man," by John Perkins, has prompted Lyndon LaRouche to launch a major new international flanking attack against George Shultz's fascist "Vulcan" apparatus, an attack which could catapult the Perkins book to the top of the international best-seller lists, and drive the would-be controllers of the Bush-Cheney "Halliburton Regime" into new, greater-than-ever fits of wild-eyed rage.

In foreign affairs, one manifestation of the law of unintended consequences is known as “blowback.” In his book by that title, Chalmers Johnson wrote, “The term ‘blowback,’ which officials of the Central Intelligent Agency first invented for their own internal use, . . . refers to the unintended consequences of policies that were kept secret from the American people. What the daily press reports as the malign act of ‘terrorists’ or ‘drug lords’ or ‘rogue states’ or ‘illegal arms merchants’ often turn out to be blowback from earlier American operations.”

VDARE.COM’s annual War Against Christmas Competition, in which we offer a prize for the most outrageous attempt to abolish Christmas, is one of our most popular features. Entries now come in spontaneously throughout the year. They have already reached flood proportions. Our four previous competitions (see above) constitute an important record of an extraordinary Kulturkampf against the American majority, which future historians will analyze with the same incomprehension with which they now pore over Prohibition.

America is one of the most sinful nations on the face of the earth. Our country produces more pornography, more violence, and more filth than any other nation on the face of the earth. America sins by allowing millions of babies to be aborted every year. Need I continue? Even a cursory glance at the Ten Commandments reveals our nation's violation of the Law of God. No wonder so many in government want the Commandments barred. How can Christians say America is one of the freest nation on the face of the earth and at the same time agree our country is one of the most sinful nations? If sin is bondage and America is in sin, does it not follow that America is in bondage?

The Empire Has No Clothes is well written, eye-opening and patriotic to the bones. Ivan Eland is a problem solver, as well as an insightful analyst. In seeking to solve problems one must understand how the situation evolved, where we went wrong, how we missed those earlier signs of trouble. From this, we can decide what to do, what correctives to implement.
