The Myth of Fed Independence by Murray N.... →
By far the most secret and least accountable operation of the federal government is not, as one might expect, the CIA, DIA, or some other super-secret intelligence agency. The CIA and other intelligence operations are under control of the Congress. They are accountable: a Congressional committee supervises these operations, controls their budgets, and is informed of their covert activities. It...

moralanarchism:
How the fuck can someone who believes in voluntaryism file a suit with the United Nations over a domain name?
If Ron Paul wants the domain ronpaul.com then he should buy it off the current owners. That’s the way the free market works. You don’t go to a government agency to force the transfer.
That’s just completely fucked up.
Not the only. Can’t say I am...

Voices of protest have been raised in Hollywood against Kathryn Bigelow’s Zero Dark Thirty, an account of the hunt for Osama bin Laden, which endorses the actions of the Central Intelligence Agency, the US military and the systematic use of torture.
In a statement published January 9 in Truthout (“And the Academy Award for the Promotion of Torture Goes to …”), actor David Clennon explains, “I’m...

Fracking is Safe, Says New York State Health... →
Spooked by left-wing environmental activists, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been dithering over whether or not to approve the production of natural gas by means of hydrofracking from the Marcellus Shale formation in his state. Activists are trying to block approval by claiming that fracking can cause health problems. Today, theNew York Timesis reporting that a study done a year ago by the...

How Cash for Clunkers Hurt Both the Poor and Small... →
I am a big fan of used cars generally. I just can’t bring myself to buy a new one given the immediate depreciation which occurs once I wave goodbye to the salesman. It’s just too painful for me. I prefer to buy my cars used.
The secondary market is also important for those who can’t afford a new car. Given that 2013 autos average over $25,000, that’s true for a good number of American families....

Six Degrees of Military Spending →
The Department of Defense, with its 2.3 million workers, is the single largest employer in the United States. The defenseindustry, which is the main private-sector recipient of defense dollars, directly or indirectly employs another 3 million people. This, in a nutshell, is why it’s so hard to cut government spending in general and military spending in particular.
The scope and reach of the...

The New Mexico desert gets blistering hot, but inside the small windowless container where Brandon Bryant worked as a drone operator in the U.S. Air Force it stays a cool 63 degrees all year long.

Remove the Westboro Baptist Church's 501(c)(3)... →
The Westboro Baptist Church operates as a tax-exempt church. While it speaks volumes that many Americans value their right to free speech, this does not mean that we have to pay for their vitriol.
The WBC is not and should never have been considered a legitimate church for tax-exemption purposes, and this could be declared so either directly or with legislation affirming any or all of the...

Defending the World, Bankrupting Ourselves →
The argument for leaving 10,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan after 2014 is more or less reasonable on its face. The Kabul government is fragile; our gains might be reversed; the Afghan military is not ready to stand on its own. Here’s the unreasonable, unavoidable part: If we don’t leave then, we probably never will.
The lesson of the past several decades is that once Americans...

7 Absurd Ways The Military Wastes Taxpayer Dollars →
The David Petraeus scandal has shined a light on the luxurious, subsidized lifestyle of the U.S. military’s top generals. But so far, what the media has uncovered only scratches the surface of the abuses. Here are seven absurd ways the military wastes our money — and none of them have anything to do with national defense.
1. A whole battalion of generals? The titles “general” or “admiral” sound...

Right To Work
I must be the only one against RTW (Right-To-Work) laws, that proceed to ban union membership as part of your hire. Seemingly, libertarians are rather silent on this issue, save Ron Paul, whomfavors right to work laws . However, I am an anti-interventionist, across the board. And a monopolistic entity which intervenes between businesses and unions — despite my unappreciative attitude...

The bigger the lie the more people will believe it. We all know who said that – but it still works. Bashar al-Assad has chemical weapons. He may use them against his own Syrian people. If he does, the West will respond. We heard all this stuff last year – and Assad’s regime repeatedly said that if – if – it had chemical weapons, it would never use them against Syrians.
But now Washington...

Ten Reasons Iran Doesn't Want the Bomb →
Since the beginning of Iran’s nuclear crisis, the West has been convinced that one approach offers the best hope of altering Tehran’s nuclear policy and halting its enrichment activities: comprehensive international sanctions and a credible threat of military strike. During the same period, I have repeatedly warned my friends in the West that such punitive pressures, no matter how severe, will...
Society Without a State by Murray N. Rothbard →
In attempting to outline how a “society without a state” – that is, an anarchist society – might function successfully, I would first like to defuse two common but mistaken criticisms of this approach. First, is the argument that in providing for such defense or protection services as courts, police, or even law itself, I am simply smuggling the state back into society in another form, and that...

Yes, anarchy would be the best. However true anarchy can only exist for short periods of time because of the nature of human beings….
So, government is expected to restrain itself? —Elle

How Three Texas Counties Created Personal Social... →
Across the country, state and local governments are facing huge unfunded liabilities for their employee pension plans. And then there’s Social Security.
But three neighboring Texas counties, which opted out of Social Security 30 years ago by creating personal retirement accounts, have avoided a fiscal train wreck while providing retirees with even more retirement income.

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - The roars celebrating the re-election of U.S. President Barack Obama on television give Mohammad Rehman Khan a searing headache, as years of grief and anger come rushing back. The 28-year-old Pakistani accuses the president of robbing him of his father, three brothers and a nephew, all killed in a U.S. drone aircraft attack a month after Obama first took office. “The...
