It’s All About Independence

2009-07-03T09:08:00.001-04:00

-Justin RaimondoHere it is, the fourth of July, and international fireworks are going off in a spectacular, albeit scary display of pyrotechnics. An American president who campaigned and won as the “peace” candidate, the one who would exhibit more caution in foreign affairs, is opening up a whole new front in George W. Bush’s “war on terror.” In the “Afpak” theater, Obama is launching an

The Banality of Evil Applies to Everyone

2009-07-03T08:27:00.000-04:00

-Jacob G. Hornberger One of the aspects of the Iraq War that has fascinated me the most is how CIA agents and U.S. soldiers could actually bring themselves to kill, torture, and sexually abuse Iraqis. After all, don’t forget that neither the Iraqi people nor their government participated in the 9/11 attacks. The worst “crime” that any Iraqi committed against any American was resisting an unlawful

Woods Tells the Story of the Meltdown

2009-07-03T08:26:00.001-04:00

-David GordonTom Woods has made an invaluable contribution with his latest book. The public today looks for an explanation of the current economic crisis and a prescription for recovery. Conflicting accounts abound. Should the collapse of the housing bubble and the accompanying credit crunch be met by increased government spending, as Keynesians aver? Does the key to the mystery lie in

Water Boarding and the Future State of Torture

2009-07-03T08:25:00.000-04:00

-Aaron Emery America has been standing on shaky moral ground for a very long time. A country that was once viewed as the embodiment of justice and liberty has long been neither just, nor liberated. Rule of law, which was once cherished, has been trampled upon in the name of "national security". In fact, despots walk among us, interact with us daily, and even hold some of the HIGHEST public

Ron Paul Strikes Gold

2009-07-03T08:24:00.000-04:00

-Chadwick Matlin, via ReutersRon Paul's legislative history is a lesson in principled failure. Among the bills he has co-sponsored: ending U.S. cooperation with the United Nations, a repeal of antitrust law "to restore the inherent benefits of the market economy," and stripping the government of the right to set a minimum wage. Just last week, he again introduced a bill "to repeal the Gun-Free

Dean Krugman to the Marching Band: "Stay the Course!"

2009-07-02T11:16:00.000-04:00

-William L. AndersonAll of us who warmly remember Animal House can recall the scene at the end in which the band is trying to walk through the wall at the end of the alley, having been led there by one of the pranksters from Delta House. Obviously, like the rest of the movie, this moment is an absurdity, but nonetheless I can think of no better way to describe Paul Krugman's latest exhortation to

The Extraordinary Evil of Bernie Madoff

-Bill Bonner Poor Bernie. The man has been ordered to spend 150 years in the hoosegow. What for? Who did he kill? A century and a half seems a little excessive for a financial crime. You could hold up three liquor stores and rape a whole convent and still not get 150 years. With a little bit of good lawyer-ing, a history of child abuse in the family, and good behavior in the big house, you’d be

Iraq’s 'National Sovereignty Day' is US-Style 'Hallmark' Hype

-Jeremy ScahillThe puppet government in Iraq has named June 30 as "National Sovereignty Day," and — without mentioning the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis maimed, killed, tortured or made refugees by the U.S. invasion and occupation — thanked the occupiers for placing them in power. "President" Jalal Talabani termed today "a glorious day," saying, "While we celebrate this day, we express our

Health Care Is Not a Right

2009-07-02T07:24:00.000-04:00

-Jacob G. Hornberger Amidst all the health care debate, there is one underlying assumption that hardly anyone challenges: the notion that people have a right to health care. The truth is that it’s a nonsensical notion. People no more have a right to health care than they have a right to education, food, or clothing.(continues)RON PAUL NEWS

How Much Money Inflation?

2009-07-01T10:42:00.001-04:00

-Howard S. KatzThe Federal Reserve is lying about the nation's money supply (M1). The current figure for money supply is being given as $1.6 trillion. The actual number is $2.34 trillion. The reported number is equivalent to an increase of 16% over the past year. The actual number is equivalent to an increase of 70% over the past year.
