Obama's Expanding Kill List
posted 02/13/2013, 2:06 PM (Paul Craig Roberts)
[Category: Commentary]
Prosecutors always expand laws far beyond their intent. Attorneys in civil cases do the same. For example, the 1970 Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act was passed in order to make it easier for the government to convict members of the Mafia. However, the law, despite its intent, was quickly expanded by prosecutors and attorneys and used in cases against pro-life activists, Catholic bishops, corporations accused of hiring illegal immigrants, and in divorce cases. “Junk bond...

One Hundred Years of Intrusions

Imagine a time when the government knew nothing about the money in your bank. It cared nothing about how much you made, where you made it, and what you did with it. You could take your earnings in gold, silver, paper, or anything else, and never filed a sheet with the government.
How you earned a living was none of the business of the political class. For that matter, your bank account could be under a false name and absolutely no one cared.

The Four Signs of a Collapsing State
posted 02/12/2013, 5:21 AM (Jeffrey Tucker)
[Category: Commentary]
“This used to be a hell of a good country, I can’t understand what’s gone wrong with it.” said George Hanson in the movie “Easy Rider.”
My old friend Joe Sobran (1946-2010) loved that line and quoted it often.
Sobran, who worked alongside William Buckley at National Review during its heyday, was one of the smartest people I’ve ever known. After a lifetime of thinking about politics, he eventually decided that there was only one way out of our troubles: the whole of ... (more) |
Should Americans Emigrate or Defect?
posted 02/12/2013, 5:20 AM (The Dollar Vigilante)
[Category: Commentary]
 Anyone planning to permanently leave the US should give deep thought to whether they are emigrating or defecting.
The two concepts have so much in common that they tend to blur together. They may be best viewed as two extremes of the same axis upon which people can 'grade' themselves. But there is a significant difference between the attitude, motives, and actions of a straightforward emigrant versus a defector. And where you stand on the axis affects the most important aspect of ... (more) |
Absurdity on Patrol
posted 02/12/2013, 5:20 AM (Butler Shaffer)
[Category: Commentary]
There is nothing humorous or whimsical about people killing - or threatening to kill - other people, no matter who the targeted victims might be. Peace and the sanctity of life are at the very core of the libertarian philosophy. But as the Christopher Dorner drama continues to play out in southern California, the political establishment in general, and the police system in particular, celebrate their absurdity. If someone had murdered three people, and the killer could not be located, a token ... (more) |

What Were the Standards for Executing Charles Horman?
posted 02/09/2013, 4:08 AM (Jacob G. Hornberger)
[Category: Commentary]
While Americans are seeking to determine the standards, if any, for President Obama’s assassination of American citizens, would it be too much to ask about the standards that were applied in the U.S. national-security state’s execution of American citizen Charles Horman? After all, in principle is a state-sponsored extra-judicial execution any different from a state-sponsored assassination? Why shouldn’t Americans have the right to know the standards by which they can be either assassinated or e... (more) |

Coming to a City Near You? Assassination and Sanction Blowback

The most persuasive argument against the U.S. government's drone assassination program and its sanctions program on Iran is that they simply wrong in a moral sense. It's morally wrong to murder people through assassination, and it's wrong to inflict economic devastation on the citizenry of another country through sanctions.
Another persuasive argument is that such programs are not authorized by the Constitution, the document which sets forth the powers of the president and the res... (more) |

 If you need to ask the question, then the answer is “yes”. But that is a glib response and I do not feel glib about America's slide through the nine rings of political hell.

Obama and his minions speak with forked tongue, when they bother to speak at all in justification of their heinous deeds. Secrecy in government operations is a ground for impeachment in my book, especially when it attempts to conceal evil operations.

[Category: Commentary]
 Ex-military sniper Chris Kyle was killed last Saturday at the hands of another Iraq War veteran, Eddie Ray Routh. Routh is one of the many Iraq veterans suffering severe mental problems, and Kyle was helping him cope. Kyle figured a good way to help Routh with his struggles was to take him to a gun range. It turned out to be a fatal decision. Routh opened fire on Kyle and another friend, killing them both. Routh is now in jail in Texas facing capital murder charges.

Most analysis of drone technology from libertarian futurists these days is pretty pessimistic.
