If only successful entrepreneurship were easy to imagine from an armchair, we’d have less expert analysts warning us about the impending dangers to democracy and even more “monopolies” like Amazon to cater to our lesser needs. Although the danger is imminent, its real-life consequences are still ambiguous for trustbusters. To paraphrase a so-called robber baron of the 19th century, “the public be damned.”
if an ideology is to be damned because of its racist origins and uses, it is not the classical liberalism, or libertarianism, of Jim Buchanan – for as Jim’s (and my) long-time colleague David Levy (and Sandy Peart) point out, that ideology has an honorable history of opposing racism when opposing racism wasn’t cool.
By Sarah Abed | The Rabbit Hole | July 8, 2017 In early March 2011, right before the carefully calculated and planned imposed war and invasion in Syria, Vogue Magazine published a surprisingly positive article titled: Asma al-Assad: A Rose in the Desert. “Asma al-Assad is glamorous, young, and very chic—the freshest and most magnetic of first […]
Donald Trump Jr. has released the un-redacted emails between himself and a lawyer from Russian called Natalia Veselnitskaya. Veselnitskaya earlier confirmed that her correspondence with Trump Jr. had nothing to do with politics and that she has no involvement with the Russian government or any other.
The issues being discussed had to do with adoptions of children and related charitable endeavours.
According to a new study published in Science Translational Medicine, some types of chemotherapy can increase aggressivity in cancer, causing malignant cells to migrate and triggering more dangerous tumors. But don't worry, the same research team found a drug that might mitigate some of the effects of the chemotherapy treatment! Join James for today's Thought For The Day as he explores the history of chemotherapy and the allopathic paradigm.
(ANTIMEDIA) Maryland — How would you feel if you found out your priest was getting high in between sermons? As contradictory as that question sounds, it may be something the faithful — of all sects, all around the world — might one day have to consider. Scientists have now begun investigating the effects psychedelic drugs have on religious experiences.
From an article published by The Guardian over the weekend:
There actually can be such a thing as too many choices. But you don't need Bernie Sanders to limit your deodorant selection. Costco will do it for you on a voluntary basis.
A disgusting video posted on a Youtube channel called “Cut” shows adults discussing obscene sexual acts in front of small vulnerable children. The children whose faces appear in full view are pictured as parents show off various obscene products that are illegal in some countries and cannot be sold in traditional shops in others. The spoken content is extremely explicit. These are words that no child should be forced to hear and concepts that no child should be inflicted with.
Jessi Baker, founder of blockchain technology platform Provenance, envisions a future where all physical products have digital histories, allowing people to trace and verify products’ origins, attributes and ownership. Is it time for a new dawn of transparency in retail?

Russian foreign policy always operates on a foundation of reciprocity…so after Putin’s first fact-to-face with Trump, it appears that the sticky issue of Obama’s Russian diplomat expulsion has now been solved.
Russia will just simply expel 30 US diplomats from the Russian Federation, as well as freeze some US assets “in a retaliatory move against Washington.”
We have to admit, it is refreshing to see Russia do to the US what the US has been doing to the rest of the world for decades.
The Russian lawyer at the center of the latest Russia fake news, Natalia Veselnitskaya, told NBC News that she has no ties to the Kremlin.
Veselnitskaya confirmed that her meeting with Donald Trump Jr. was about Russian adoptions in the United States, and had nothing to do with Hillary Clinton, as the New York Times claims.
A common chorus dominates most contemporary discussions of education reform: If schools had more money, then they would do better at educating kids. If there were more taxpayer support for traditional public schools, then we would have better education outcomes. But is more money really the answer?
Now that CNN has another fake news Russia story, courtesy of a 20 minute meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer over adoption rights, CNN’s chief fake news host, Chris Cuomo invited White House top aide Kellyanne Conway onto his morning show, turning a 5 minute segment into a 35 minute circus debate.
Cuomo questioned the Trump’s credibility arguing that there were “huge legal and ethical implications” of the meeting.

MacLean has not produced an objective and well-researched account of a "stealth plan" to keep "Democracy in Chains" but rather a conspiracy tract better suited to the National Enquirer than National Public Radio (which fawned over it) or the National Endowment for the Humanities (which funded it).

China is getting extremely fed up with Donald Trump’s continual public assertions that North Korea is somehow China’s problem as though North Korea is a kind of geo-political prodigal son rather than a sovereign nation that behaves in manner that is incredibly independent of just about every nation on earth, including China.
Today, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesman Geng Shuang blasted the America insinuations about North Korea being China’s responsibility. Although he did not name the United States or Donald Trump, the meaning was unambiguous.
Geng stated,
Israel’s foreign ministry issued a statement denouncing US globalist billionaire George Soros.
The Foreign Ministry statement aligns Israel closely with Hungary ahead of a visit to Budapest next week by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Soros and his NGOs routinely fund regime change organizations, in what often turn into violent revolutions against democratically elected governments. Soros played a major role in overthrowing the democratically elected government in Ukraine in 2014, to bring into power a neo-nazi western backed government.
As of July 7, 2017, glyphosate, a chemical found in Monsanto’s RoundUp herbicide, has officially been listed as a carcinogen in California under the state’s Proposition 65 law. [1]
Under the law, RoundUp, the most widely-used herbicide in the world, must carry a warning about its potential to cause cancer in humans. It is the first time that any governmental authority has created such legislation based on glyphosate’s possible carcinogenicity.
Lyn Ulbricht, mother of Ross Ulbricht, joins us today to discuss the arrest, conviction and unconscionable double life plus 40 year sentence of her son in the Silk Road case. We discuss the case against Ross and the exculpatory information that was withheld from the jury (and sometimes even the defence) during his trial. We also talk about the loss of his appeal in the 2nd District court and where the FreeRoss.org campaign goes from here.
Any astute reader will ask: “Why in the world would the Foundation for Economic Education publish this sort of thing?” Well, consider the original publication date. Then look at the publisher: The Nation, the leading journal of liberal opinion at the time. Then look at the editor: Henry Hazlitt, author of Economics in One Lesson and a FEE trustee. You might expect, then, that there is a huge backstory here.
Over the weekend we looked at how well Bernie had done with Monongalia County primary voters. It's the third most populated county in West Virginia-- Morgantown is the county seat-- and on primary day last year these were the results:

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has expressed feelings of outrage and disappointment that Russian embassy properties in America have been effectively seized by US authorities. It came as part of the measures Barack Obama took in his final full month in office when 35 Russian embassy workers were also expelled from the United States.
The issue was discussed during Donald Trump’s meeting with Vladimir Putin. Trump said that he will work with Russia to solve the crisis created by Obama in an expedient fashion.
Donald Trump is about to have a foreign policy heavy day, his first since returning from the G20 summit in Hamburg where he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin and other world leaders.

It was difficult to work out exactly what is behind the ‘Qatar Diplomatic Crisis’ that seemed to suddenly emerge early in June. The Qatar diplomatic crisis apparently began on 5th June when several countries – principally Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the UAE – abruptly cut off diplomatic relations. This included trade and travel bans. […]
On July 9, Mosul was declared liberated from the Islamic State (IS). Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi arrived in the city to announce the mission's success. After nine months of fierce and grueling fighting and human suffering, the terrorists lost the city, which has been their stronghold for the last three years. Around 915,000 residents have fled Mosul since the start of the battle for the city last October.
(ANTIWAR.COM) US officials familiar with the situation say that the Trump Administration is likely to announce a dramatic “ramping up” of US involvement in Libya, appointing a new US ambassador, and setting up a permanent US military presence in the nation.
Americans have 350 million guns and 10 billion bullets. What do you honestly believe will happen when 120 million Americans cannot afford to eat? How many days would you be willing to let your children go without food? How many millions of your neighbors, friends and families will have to die before the Uber Rich learn to not steal from the poor?
How many millions will have to starve to death before Wall Street hears our voices?

Israel markets itself to the world as “the Jewish State.” As it turns out however, most of the their own residents do not want to live in such a place.
The self-appointed leader of ISIS, the rarely seen and deeply mysterious Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been confirmed dead by ISIS (aka Daesh).
This comes shortly after Iraq’s Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced the defeat of ISIS in Iraq.
On the 16th of June, Russia stated that the ISIS leader was killed in a Russian airstrike near Raqqa, the self-proclaimed ISIS capital in Syria. Iran confirmed Russia’s statement shortly thereafter while the United States maintained that it had no information one whether Baghdadi was dead or alive.
