Molyneux says that the defense of freedom and the goal of a free society requires the use of “triage” in applying the Non-Aggression Principle.
Molyneux, it seems, has a vision of what a “free” society should look like and how we should get there. Sometimes that means a little less NAP and a little more social engineering to keep out those he thinks are undesirable.
And I just don’t see eye to eye with Molyneux.3-minute read.
Imagine a world where both the Republican and Democratic Parties supported, or at least went along with:
- 1. Legalized spousal rape.
- 2. A ban on interracial marriages.
- 3. Exemption from prosecution for pedophile members of the clergy.
Would you vote for either party?2-minute read.
Alabama as a “brand” would have been tarnished with a Moore victory and there would have been calls to boycott the State and anything or anyone associated with it. I do believe the legendary football coach Nick Saban would have been questioned about being the most famous ambassador of a state that endorsed Moore.
That is all a “what-if” now, but I believe I called it correctly. After all, there are now calls to boycott Maine because one of its Senators, Susan Collins, voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.3-minute read.
Warren lied, has convinced herself the DNA test proved she didn’t lie, and isn’t embarrassed about any of it. These days, that’s Presidential material.
If Facebook, Twitter, and Google curried favor with the federal government in order to gain influence in Capitol corridors, they were already corrupt. If, however, they were bullied or blackmailed by the Deep State into censoring anti-Establishment views, then they’ve been “corrupted” in the sense of being compromised by government authority.
Would you be surprised if Facebook’s security breach of a couple of weeks ago was committed by hackers paid by your tax dollars?
The American people are robbed to fund the murdering of foreign people. And I’ve been wondering since at least the invasion of Iraq in 2003: why are people okay with this? How is this “just one issue?” How is it that “reasonable people can disagree?”
It’s the cultural heritage of militarism.3 minute read.
That is what most laws and regulations are. They’re not about protecting workers or consumers, they’re weapons against peaceful activities that offend the sensibilities of the white middle class, which was and still is the largest voting bloc in the country.3 minute read.
A menu is published information. No restaurant puts beer, wine, or liquor in the children’s menu, because children aren’t allowed by law to have alcoholic drinks. They’re still allowed to have pop, however. So what this law does is prohibit restaurants from providing factual information in certain locations of their own menus. This requirement may even be misleading if it persuades children or their parents that they’re not allowed to order pop.
Imagine a world of nation-states, like ours. One country is almost always at war and has military bases all over the world. Its large neighbors never invaded it, but it has invaded them, and has occupied and overthrown the governments of smaller nearby countries. The one war it fought that appeared “just” involved defending ill-gotten colonies from an aspiring power, but its mainland and way of life were never threatened. For much of its history it sanctioned, blockaded, bombed, and invaded countless countries, and engineered coup d’etats in many others. And it violated treaties with and stole land from several “stateless” nations.
What would you think of such a country? Of its laws? Of its constitution?A 3-minute read.
If rank-and-file Democrats and Republicans continue to be complacent about war, they don’t realize the #1 problem facing United States and the world. They’re like a man who constantly gets into arguments at work, is rude to waitresses, insults the homeless, starts bar fights, and then comes home and complains that his family doesn’t get along with each other. Bullies shouldn’t expect to be happy.Read the whole thing.
I don’t believe Trump felt he was taking legal risks. His sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, was a federal judge at the time and involved in the schemes. Would she have done anything to risk impeachment?
Also, Trump was too well-connected. This was during Bill Clinton’s presidency, and Trump was a generous supporter of Democrats at the time. If a President could use the I.R.S. to go after his enemies, couldn’t he also tell the I.R.S. to back off from his friends?
What I found interesting in the report, however, has nothing to do with the Trump name. It is about the absurdity of the Estate Tax (also called the Death Tax.Read the whole thing.
If President Trump is the worst person in the world, as Democrats often imply, then for a substantial number of them to give him the power to spy on you without a search warrant is, well, curious. Had some of them been coerced through blackmail? Did the NSA gather scandalous information on certain members of Congress and let them know through Deep State channels that they’d risk exposure if they didn’t vote a certain way?Read the whole thing here.
The “federal government,” does what nation-states do. It taxes us to prepare for and wage war. Any other thing it provides – roads, old-age pensions, etc. – keeps the population loyal or the tax revenues flowing.
Even if it’s at peace a long time, war is at the heart of any nation-state.
