As the Supreme Court in Britain hears the Julian Assange case, John Pilger examines the implications of an intensified US campaign to silence WikiLeaks and prosecute Assange for a crime that doesn't exist, threatening the principle of free speech and all unfettered journalism.
Picture: Johann Gottlieb Fichte was one of the German intellectuals behind institutionalized compulsory schooling. Look into his eyes.

To us, Anarchy means freedom. The desire to live without a violent, coercive State. Anarchy is peace, love and prosperity. Free markets. And, power to the people.

لعله من المتوقع أن يعمل كل من النظام و مناوؤه بشكل دؤوب على التأثير على الرأي العام، سواءً منه الداخلي السوري، أو الخارجي العربي و الدولي. و مع أن آراءً كثيرة تتفق على أن أدوات النظام الإعلامية، سواء منها الرسمية أو غير النظامية، يجب ألا تمنح مصداقية عالية، إلا أننا لا نجد هذه الدرجة من الحذر في التعامل مع ما يرد من الطرف الآخر. بل إن هناك تماهٍ و تصديق شبه أعمى لكل الأخبار و التحليلات التي ترد من طرف مناوئي النظام، و سنحاول هنا أن نقارن بين طروحات الطرفين:

John Pilger argues that, behind its democratic facade, the true nature of western political culture is that of American-led violence and ruthlessness in the cause of enduring dominance. He pays tribute to Lisette Talate, who has died. A Chagos islander forcibly expelled from her homeland by Britain in order to make way for a US military base, her resistance and that of people like her all over the world offer real hope, not the counterfeit slogans of those like Barack Obama.

I’m not talking about personal matters like getting married or having a child or having great parents. Or, intellectually, on the level of reading Mises or Hoppe or Rothbard (or meeting the latter two, for that matter). But three great practical things that stand out that have made big differences for me: Learning touch-typing in […]

Elementary School Teacher Tells Kids There's No Santa Claus
By Todd Venezia and Jennifer Bain
Even the Grinch wouldn’t be this mean.
A sourpuss teacher in Rockland County ruined Christmas for a class full of second-graders this week, when she told them that there is no Santa Claus during a lesson about the North Pole.
The evil educator even told the youngsters — mostly 7- and 8-year-olds — that the presents under their trees were put out by their parents, and not St. Nick.

Today we'll discuss sound, the f-word in Christmas songs and a documentary called The Cartel. This film looks at various levels of corruption in the government school system, primarily using New Jersey as a case study.
The filmmaker, Bob Bowden supports voucher programs and the expansion of charter schools. Although I have always opposed vouchers as a "solution" to a "problem," the stories in the film got me thinking about this issue in new ways. However, I am still not a proponent of vouchers.
