‘On the night of December 4, Carol LaDue and her husband Richard were travelling along County Route 37 near Massena, when they saw an injured woman lying in the road. The woman was 33-year-old Ashley McDonald, who’d just been hit by a car and was dying. As the couple got out of their vehicle to […]

Former New York Times reporter Chris Hedges has previously noted that oppressive regimes fall when their soldiers stop obeying orders and start following the will of the people. Hedges gave an example from the U.S.  In 2010, Hedges, Daniel Ellsberg and 131 veterans were arrested for holding an anti-war protest in front of the White House. Everyone was arrested, their wrists tied with plastic restraints, and hauled off to jail.  So – on the surface – it looked like the police unquestioningly cracked down on the protest. But Hedges says (in a speech broadcast on public radio station last week) … Continue reading →

One reason why Official Washington continues to insist that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad “must go” is that he supposedly “gassed his own people” with sarin on Aug. 21, 2013, but the truth of that allegation has never been established and is in growing doubt, U.S. intelligence veterans point out. [Updated on Dec. 23 with new signers.] MEMORANDUM FOR: U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, and Foreign Minister of Russia Sergey Lavrov FROM: Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) SUBJECT: Sarin Attack at Ghouta on Aug. 21, 2013 In a Memorandum of Oct. 1, 2013, we asked each of you to make public the intelligence … Continue reading →

I’m a big fan of Ron Paul. I supported him in 2008 and 2012. For this reason, I really tried to like Rand Paul, but he makes it hard. I still have some residual sympathy for Rand, so I really want to help him out even though I won’t be voting for him. Once he drops out, I plan to do a post-mortem on his campaign, because I really think Rand and his supporters need to hear some hard truths from someone associated with the “liberty movement” who isn’t one of the “libertarian cool kids” This is not that post-mortem, … Continue reading →

There are issues that bring together a subset of libertarians, traditional conservatives and modern liberals.  War is one of these.  Many readers will be familiar with traditional conservative Pat Buchanan and his views on war and empire; on the left one will find Noam Chomsky.Then there are those on one side or the other of the political spectrum who can appreciate a position, and not an ideology. Speaking the Unspeakable: Why the Establishment Wants to Silence Donald Trump, by Sam Husseini. Much of this post will be a restatement of Husseini’s position; however, at the end I would like to … Continue reading →

The post The Most Important Political Issue of All appeared first on LewRockwell.

[This article appears in the November–December 2015 issue of The Austrian.] Peter Simpson is a distinguished classicist and philosopher, known especially for his work on Aristotle’s ethics and politics. (He is also, by the way, a mordant critic of Leo Strauss and his followers.) In Political Illiberalism, he poses a fundamental challenge to philosophical justifications of modern liberalism, culminating in the vastly influential Political Liberalism (1993) of John Rawls. Though Simpson cannot be classed as a libertarian, his bold arguments will be of great use to all of us who, like Lew Rockwell, are Against the State. According to a … Continue reading →

A few years ago, I started seeing little birdhouse-like structures popping up in front lawns around Denver. When I looked closer, though, I realized that these structures held books rather than stoops for birds. Adorned with signs that read “Little Free Library: Take a Book, Return a Book,” I was intrigued and wanted to learn more about this movement of community libraries. It all started back in 2009 when a gentleman in Wisconsin put up a little library as a tribute to his late mother, who was a teacher and book lover. The idea quickly spread, and Todd Bol soon … Continue reading →

She said “No” to me and slammed the door. She was on my paper route. I asked out every girl on my paper route. All three of them. I liked having a captive audience. I’d hand them the paper and say, “Want to go to a movie?” They all said “No”. Well, one girl said, “Yes” but then the next day her brother told me she really meant “No”. I made about $2 an hour on my paper route. It took me about four hours a day and then another five or six hours on the weekends collecting money. One … Continue reading →

The post The Best Advice Ever appeared first on LewRockwell.

The best strategy the United States could pursue in Syria might well involve pulling the plug on the whole operation, although walking out of there “would give every neocon a heart attack,” former Republican congressman Ron Paul asserted in the latest Liberty Report. Paul’s argument is simple: Syria “is so messy, [the US strategy] isn’t working. Why don’t we wise up? Why don’t we leave before it gets much worse? Let somebody else get bogged down. Besides, it’s costly and we are not getting any benefits from this,” Paul observed. The American politician, who ran for president three times, blamed Barack Obama for what … Continue reading →

When it comes to alcohol, there are some choices that are better for you than others. Alcohol is very high in calories and has no nutritional value, many say the exception to this being good quality red wine.

Here, nutritionist Charlotte Watts, tells Healthista, her top tips on how to drink smart for your health, this Christmas.

As if to promise a Christmas present, Congress has just finished approving the finances of the federal government for the next few months. Santa Claus would have done a better job. During early 2016, Congress will pay the government’s bills by borrowing money from individual and institutional lenders. Those folks will lend the feds all the money the feds need because the law requires the feds to pay them back. The “pay them back” ideology is a very curious one. It is true that the full faith and credit of the federal government guarantees the payment of the government’s debts. … Continue reading →

Submitted by Mark Spitznagel via Pensions & Investments, Since the question “when is the crash going to happen?” is always asked, we thought it particularly timely to update the research we have done on the topic. Timing a crash can be a fool’s errand, and fortunately such efforts are largely irrelevant if you are tail hedging (though they are quite relevant if you aren’t). When tail hedging efficiently, the extreme asymmetries in payoffs, by definition, removes any need to time the top. But this doesn’t mean that exercises in timing are without merit. As we showed in previous research, without … Continue reading →
