when will we learn? by harry browne september 12th, 2001

https://youtu.be/teJdSDoAplU In very few cases have these anti-interventionists favored literal “isolation”: what they have generally favored is political nonintervention in the affairs of other countries, coupled with economic and cultural internationalism in the sense of peaceful freedom of trade, investment, and interchange between the citizens of all countries. And this is the essence of the libertarian position as well. Murray N. Rothbard For a New Liberty, p. 330 **PDF: https://odysee.com/@libertariantruther:0/When-Will-We-Learn-9-12-01:4 LBRY / Odysee:...

Still Think the War on Terror Works?

enough already book cover

On Thursday, February 25, the Joe Biden administration bombed Iraqi Shi’ite militias in Syria, killing between 1–22 depending on who’s doing the reporting. Why did Biden order this strike? On February 15, there was a rocket attack in Erbil, the capital city of semi-autonomous northern Iraqi Kurdistan, which killed a Filipino contractor working for the U.S. coalition and wounded six others, including an American guardsman. Iraqi Shi’ite militia Awliya al-Dam took credit for the attack, according to the semi-credible SITE Intelligence Group and the hawkish Washington Institute for Near East...

Benghazi: The Truth at Last. Rand Paul, Joe Biden, and Scott Horton

Benghazi

https://youtu.be/s63mgqnkqLI If all States are evil, some are more evil than others, some particular States have engaged in enormously more aggression, both internally against their subjects, and externally against the citizens of other States. ... If we libertarians are to understand the real world, and to try to bring about the victory of liberty in that world, we must understand the actual history of concrete, existent States. History provides the indispensable data by which we can understand and deal with our world, and by which we can assess the relative guilt, the relative degrees...

As Biden Improves Yemen Policy, Activists Must Push Him Further

Surprisingly, Joe Biden has done some good as President. On Yemen, he ostensibly looks to be favoring diplomacy and ending support for the Saudis’ “offensive” operations, including stopping all “relevant” arms sales. Two U.S. sales of precision guided munitions, from Boeing and Raytheon, have been indefinitely paused. And the administration just rescinded the State Department’s designation of the Houthis as a terrorist organization as well. The designation was a vicious last-minute move by the Trump administration. It was a transparent attempt to criminalize aid and diplomacy with Yemen,...

The American People’s Justified Cynicism

Janus Tête à Tête Sitting President & President Elect, Barack Obama & Donald Trump Squatting Next To Each Other On Arm Chairs In The Oval Office On November 10th 2016. (31196987133)

“The biggest threat to our democracy is cynicism,” declared former president Barack Obama two years ago. But as we enter the final days of another demagoguery-drenched presidential campaign, it is time to give cynicism the credit it deserves. In an era of clueless voters, conniving candidates and media bias, cynicism can be one of the most effective checks and balances on political power run amok. In modern American history, the most audacious liars have been the greatest self-proclaimed enemies of cynicism. “The only deadly sin I know is cynicism,” declared President Lyndon Johnson in a...

9/11/20 Clive Stafford Smith on Julian Assange’s Political Show Trial

Clive Stafford Smith, expert witness in Julian Assange's extradition hearing, talks about the outrageous scandal that is the U.S. government's attempted prosecution of Assange and Wikileaks. Smith begins by making the obvious point that as a recipient of classified leaks, and not a leaker himself, Assange is no different than any journalist who writes stories containing classified information. To prosecute Wikileaks, in other words, the government would have to admit that they could prosecute the New York Times and The Washington Post as well. The focus of Smith's testimony was on the...

Year Zero 115: George Floyd and the Blowback Riots

Logopit 1555498607140

Just as the boom bust cycle of the economy becomes inevitable through state intervention, so does the boom bust cycle of culture. Whether it be the death of Rodney King, Eric Garner, or George Floyd we're never far away from minority cultures reminding the dominant forces that they are tired of their streets being occupied and militarized by outaide forces. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/strangerencounterspodcast/Blowback_George_Floyd_and_Riots.mp3
