“I don’t think there has been a greater engine of inequality than the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States”. Stan Druckenmiller "Americans should increasingly question the role of the Fed and its impact on society. It’s not normal, nor should it be, that the economy keeps running from bust to bust to bust and requires ever more debt and intervention to “save it” from the fall out of the asset bubbles the Fed has propagated time and time again. And markets are again, as Druckenmiller has pointed out, in a massive asset bubble as the Fed arrogantly and fanatically insists on...

In Gaza, We Dread The Darkness And Wait For The Next Strike To Land
"When I speak to U.S. officials, I urge them to remember that the billions in unconditional military aid that they approve each year for Israel — aid that the Israeli military uses against my community and my people — means the United States is not a neutral bystander or an impartial peace broker, but effectively fueling the conflict. I tell them that it is long overdue for them to critically examine the root causes of violence and human rights abuses, and America’s own complicity in them." Laila Barhoum Oxfam policy officer in Gaza at The Washington...

Stephen Wertheim: Delusions Of Dominance, Biden Can’t Restore American Primacy And Shouldn’t Try
By seeking global dominance rather than just its own defense, the United States has acquired a world of antagonists. These antagonists have in turn further increased the costs and dangers of dominance. As a result, U.S. foreign policy has failed in its most essential purpose: it has made the American people less safe where they live. Stephen Wertheim has a vision for a more restrained U.S. foreign policy. One that would be supported by the majority of Americans, but is it a vision shared by the Biden...
It’s A Cancer’: Pompeo Says U.S. Will Brand BDS Antisemetic; Crack Down On It
The United States government will formally designate the anti-Israel boycott movement “anti-Semitic” and immediately start cracking down on groups affiliated with it, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced Thursday during a visit to Israel, calling BDS a “cancer.” “Today I want to make one announcement with respect to a decision by the State Department that we will regard the global anti-Israel BDS campaign as anti-Semitic,” he said, standing next to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a joint statement to the press. “I know this may sound simple to you, Mr. Prime Minister, it...
Israel Demands F-35s As Part Of $8 Billion Military Aid Package
With the United States set to use the peace treaty as a chance to sell F-35 warplanes to the United Arab Emirates, Israel has been pushing for a bunch of free U.S. equipment based on pledges for a region-wide qualitative edge. On Wednesday, Israel offered its first list of demands. The way Israel envisions this going down, they’ll get some $8 billion in equipment, mostly advanced U.S.-made aircraft. This would include an entire squadron of F-35s, the very plane that was supposedly the cause of all this. While Israel was previously objecting to the sales to the UAE as threatening their...
Ron Paul Sits Down with Matt Kibbe for Longform Interview on Life & Liberty
In interviews, Ron Paul tends mainly to be asked about events of the day. These often-short interviews help Paul advance his goal of communicating the ideas of liberty. It is interesting and illuminating in a different way when Paul on occasion takes part in longer, in-depth interviews focused largely on himself and his relationship to libertarianism. A new interview of Paul by host Matt Kibbe at Kibbe on Liberty is such an in-depth interview. Much of the interview is focused on Paul’s life and its relation to libertarianism. The interview starts with Paul’s learning about Austrian...

Keith Preston on: American Secession The Looming Threat Of National Breakup
From Keith Preston at Attack The System: A review of F.H Buckley's book American Secession (available on Amazon) Americans have never been more divided, and we’re ripe for a breakup. The bitter partisan animosities, the legislative gridlock, the growing acceptance of violence in the name of political virtue—it all invites us to think that we’d be happier were we two different countries. In all the ways that matter, save for the naked force of law, we are already two nations. There’s another reason why secession beckons, says F.H. Buckley: we’re too big. In population and area, the United...
