The Real Enemy: The Bin Ladenites

by Scott Horton | Mar 22, 2024 | Blog

Probably-ISIS just attacked civilians at a theater in Moscow.

I have no reason to believe the U.S. is currently backing these terrorists like back in the Clinton and Bush years, other, perhaps than that they did then, but regardless, this terrorism should be a reminder that it was the bin Ladenites who killed thousands of Americans in this century and the last, not Russia. Not Iran. Not the governments of Syria or Yemen or Palestine.

This is not a call to war. We should end the war on terrorism. But to fight al Qaeda and ISIS’s enemies, just like supporting Israel’s merciless murder of the Palestinians and occupying bases on the “Holy Peninsula” is ultimately treason against the American people and our country.

On Oct 7, the IDF Abandoned Their Female Soldiers to Be Slaughtered and Kidnapped

by Scott Horton | Mar 22, 2024 | Blog

After ignoring all their warnings about the impending, and later even the beginning of the attack, the most moral and brave army in the world climbed out the window and left them behind:

the female spotters were abandoned by soldiers and officers stationed at the same base, who did not attempt to rescue them.

“If each one of the soldiers who ran away had taken one spotter by the hand,” he said, “And dragged her to the window where they themselves escaped, Roni and the other girls would still be alive today.”

Oh but don’t worry, they really respect you though, as they steal your money and deliberately slaughter babies with it.

Who’s the Real Foreign-Policy Realist?

by Sheldon Richman | Mar 22, 2024 | Blog, Foreign Policy

The establishment debate over foreign policy isn’t between realists and whatever their opponents call themselves. It’s a debate over who’s more realistic. It reminds me of the debate between the Federalists and Antifederalists. No one wanted to be considered against federalism, but the centralizers had beaten the real federalists to the label Federalist.

Washington, We Have a Problem

by Sheldon Richman | Mar 22, 2024 | Blog, Economics, Libertarianism, Politics

Centralized power has a problem: the individual. Every person is a potential disrupter of The Plan, and disruption must be forbidden. Otherwise, why have a central plan? This applies regardless of whether the planning is economy-wide or for particular sectors, such as medical services. (See F. A. Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom.)
