By Paul Craig Roberts

The European Union, just like everything else, is merely another scheme to concentrate wealth in a few hands at the expense of European citizens, who are destined, like Americans, to be the serfs of the 21st century.

Thought Crime in Washington

By Peter Van Buren

In twenty-first-century America, 'rights' are increasingly meant for those who behave themselves and don t exercise them.

The price of empire

Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo

11/28/11

The utter recklessness of our leaders is astonishing: it smacks of desperation, of some mad plan to 'rule or ruin.' Unless our leaders change course, we are rapidly hurtling toward a tremendous collision - with our adversaries abroad, with our own economic limits, and with reality itself. The sheer force of the impact will destroy all that we value in our civilization, i.e. what is left of our prosperity and our liberty...

Power, both pathetic and terrifying

The Libertarian Standard
by Jeffrey Tucker

11/24/11

J. Edgar, the new film directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, is making the news for dealing frankly with the decades old rumors concerning Hoover s private life. But that s not what makes the film immensely valuable. Its finest contributions are its portrait of the psycho-pathologies of the powerful and its chronicle of the step-by-step rise of the American police state from the interwar years through the first Nixon term...

The wonderful world of warmongering

Dallas Libertarian Examiner
by Garry Reed

11/22/11

It s politically and economically advantageous for the US Empire to help its fellow oligarchs keep their populations submissive so the oligarchs of all countries can grow ever more wealthy, powerful and arrogant. So much for America as 'Leader of the Free World'...

Michael Winship, Truthout: 'Gingrich personifies everything rotten about the ATM machine we call Washington: the merchandising of favors and votes; the conversion of past incumbency into insider information, making your contacts and the ability to play the system available to the highest bidder; the archetypal revolving door between government service and shilling for corporate America.'

Nicholas Confessore, The New York Times News Service: 'Over the past 30 years, as the gap between wealthy and poor grew ever wider, total philanthropic giving almost tripled, according to annual estimates published by the Giving USA Foundation and the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University. In an age of widening partisanship and plummeting trust in government, this outpouring of philanthropy has produced a distinct breed of philanthropist: The policy-making billionaire.'

Shahid Buttar, Truthout: 'Congress has a deserved reputation for cluelessness. Our leaders have a habit of ignoring real crises like housing, education, mass incarceration, and climate change, while contriving distractions like the budget debate that essentially froze Washington, DC for the past year.... On Monday, the Senate will grapple with Congress? latest bipartisan foolishness, the National Defense Authorization Act. Ironically opposed by both the White House and the Pentagon, it would expand preventive and arbitrary detention beyond Guantánamo Bay and the CIA s shuttered black sites, importing it into the domestic United States.'

When the World Outlawed War: An Interview With David Swanson

Bruce E. Levine, AlterNet: 'David Swanson s recently released book, When the World Outlawed War, tells the story of how the highly energized peace movement in the 1920s, supported by an overwhelming majority of U.S. citizens from every level of society, was able to push politicians into something quite remarkable - the Kellogg-Briand Pact and the renunciation of war as an instrument of national policy. The 1920s 'War Outlawry' movement in the United States was so popular that most politicians could not afford to oppose it.'

Senators Have Ideas for Cutting the Military Budget

Robert Naiman, Truthout: 'You might not know it from national press reports, but there are plenty of members of Congress of both political parties who think that cutting the military budget is a perfectly reasonable thing to do and have concrete ideas for doing so.'
