The evil Napolitano (as opposed to the good one) speaks to Australians about why they should be aligned and supportive of the US military-industrial-surveillance-security complex. Reader Chris Bieber writes, “Mussolini said the same thing…only in Italian.”

Regarding Lew Rockwell’s post on the website that bears his name: he notes the twist on the definition of terrorism: “Terrorism is a Muslim killing an Israeli, an American, or one of their allies.” But an American, Israeli, or one of their allies killing a “Terrorist” in his own homeland is a hero, a soldier [...]

Dorothy Rabinowitz of the War Street Journal is terrified at the thought of Ron Paul winning in Iowa and showcasing his influence on foreign policy to the masses. I always chuckle when I see the neocons comparing the peaceful and non-interventionist foreign policy that Ron Paul advocates to the warmongering, occupy-the-world foreign policy of … [...]

Eleven deaths in April, but six of those were called “non-hostile incidents.” Around 45,000 US soldiers still remain stationed in Iraq, and while they are primarily charged with training and equipping their local counterparts, they can return fire in self-defence and still take part in joint counter-terror operations with Iraqi forces. You see, it’s really [...]

I was at an art show recently in Detroit’s Cass Corridor district. I like these things because they draw a really eclectic-gritty city crowd, including the usual share of old-fangled leftists from the old Detroit Communist League and assorted labour interests. There was a very senior gentleman we came across, and most anyone with a [...]

When “sick” equals cool. Dylan Harbison said that the weapons simulator she got to use as part of Fun Day with the Missouri National Guard was “sick.” It’s the 10th graders way of saying it was fun. “It was pretty cool,” Harbison said of the high-tech, computerized simulator that allowed her to shoot bad guys [...]

Remember former Homeland Insecurity Slickster Michael Chertoff? Remember after the Christmas Day bombing when he kept calling for the purchase of the invasive, totalitarian full-body scanners for all airports? When Chertoff left the Bush administration, he started his own “consulting company” (what ex-government agent hasn’t done that?), and Rapiscan, the company that makes the scanners, [...]

The February 22, 2010 issue of Time magazine includes this article: “The Threat From Within. Some soldiers become murderers. The military needs to figure out how to stop them.” After that headline, the article does not dare raise the question of who trained them to murder. Not a single comment about what those soldiers are [...]

Peter Schiff on foreign policy – two minutes into the video.

Reader Tom points me to his video of the Bushwhackers, the guerrilla soldiers who fought for Missouri independence. Overall, some of the Bushwhackers had many imperfect political philosophies, indeed, and many of them were petty thieves or criminals. But many of them also had a fierce desire for independence from encroaching federal forces. Guerrilla forces [...]
