USA

By Andrew J. Bacevich

In 1961, Dwight Eisenhower famously identified the military-industrial complex, warning that the growing fusion between corporations and the armed forces posed a threat to democracy. Judged 50 years later, Ike's frightening prophecy actually understates the scope of our modern system-and the dangers of the perpetual march to war it has put us on.

Seymour Hersh Unleashed

By Blake Hounshell

"What I'm really talking about is how eight or nine neoconservative, radicals if you will, overthrew the American government. Took it over," he said.

The Price of Liberty
by Robert Greenslade

01/17/11

So the head honcho of the party that loves the Constitution almost as much as mom, the flag and apple pie cannot name a single federal program to cut. That should tell us everything we need to know about these clowns masquerading as friends of the Constitution. They are simply going to give us their version of the usurpation of power...

Government tampers with juries and tramples justice

C4SS Center for a Stateless Society
by Darian Worden

01/14/11

In government courts, the prosecutor and judge are on the same team and the defense attorney?s rules are set by the institution that is trying to fine or imprison the defendant. They are monopolies within a system that enforces its own monopoly. Pamphleteers who teach prospective jurors about their power help give individuals a chance to effectively oppose the state...

Why government cannot ?make us safe? by mandating security

US Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) Freedom's Phoenix
by US Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX)

01/17/11

Politicians and a complicit media have conditioned many citizens to view government as our protector, leading to more demands for government action whenever tragedies occur. But this impulse is at odds with the best American traditions of self-reliance and individualism, and it also leads to bad laws and the loss of liberty. Remember, liberty only has meaning if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and more government security is demanded.
