War is government at its very worst, not only in terms of destruction, but in the powers that it arbitrarily assumes as it capitalizes on widespread fear. Military conscription presumes that the government owns your body and may direct it as it pleases. Both men and women should be vehemently against the idea of a military draft. Ron Paul discusses on today’s Liberty Report.
With the sharing economy, another modern Luddite movement has been born. The fear is that because of the reduction in transaction costs combined with automation, jobs will quickly fall away amid massive unemployment.
But are these concerns rooted in economic reality?

By Darius Shahtahmasebi | RT | February 28, 2019 US President Donald Trump’s failure to make any meaningful progress with North Korea was an expected outcome of the recent summit, but not for the reasons the mainstream media and regular talking-heads want you to believe. The so-called summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Hanoi […]

Farm interest groups today are quite comfortable using hyped information to support their pro-subsidies arguments, but their narratives distort the truth.
Lightly edited interchange with a (non-native English-speaking) friend on Facebook who had some questions about Hoppe’s argumentation ethics. Let’s call him “Raphael”. Raphael: Hello Kinsella. I have a legitimate doubt about Hoppe’s ethics. One of the premises of Hoppe’s ethics is that any assertion can only be justified in an argumentation. That is, in a […]

Ben Santer et al. have a new paper out in Nature Climate Change arguing that with 40 years of satellite data available they can detect the anthropogenic influence in the mid-troposphere at a 5-sigma level of confidence. This, they point out, is the “gold standard” of proof in particle physics, even invoking for comparison the Higgs boson discovery in their Supplementary information.
Perhaps my being a bit of a stickler for context is an issue for some readers?It shouldn’t be. Without a broader understanding, not saying one that is complete or all encompassing because that’s not possible, simply having a fuller grasp of any given situation, we'll avoid the appearance of wild accusations made for no good reason.Abdullah provided some all important context to this situation. He did not entirely dismiss the issue of Pakistan receiving military aid from the US. Nor did he deny the existence of terrorist groups on Pakistani soil.
(TMU) — It should surprise absolutely no one that CNN is abjectly loyal to the Beltway establishment—especially to the entrenched forces currently dominating the Democratic Party. Thus it should be no shock to learn that on Monday, CNN stacked its Town Hall with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, a leading 2020 presidential hopeful, with Democratic Party attendees tied to failed […]

If “the rich” aren’t going to fund this tidal wave of new spending—and aren’t even intended to—who will?
By Joe Emersberger | The Canary | February 26, 2019 Amnesty International‘s reports, by their nature, require readers to trust their honesty and impartiality. But there is ample reason not to trust them. Because Amnesty has ignored grave human rights abuses in plain sight in Venezuela while demonizing supporters of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Shortly after meeting with […]
(MEE) — Saudi Arabia has stripped citizenship from Hamza bin Laden, the son of slain al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, the interior ministry said in a statement published by the official gazette Umm al-Qura.

Strategic Culture Foundation | 01.03.2019 International powers this week anxiously urged India and Pakistan to avoid further escalation of military confrontation.

UPDATE and CORRECTION to “Is Neoliberalism Killing Russia?”
I have learned from Andrei Martyanov that southfront.org’s report misinterprets the Russian VCIOM poll. The poll asked who is the most trusted politician in Russia. Putin was first according to 32.6% of respondents , Shoigu with 15.6% of respondents, and Lavrov with 13.2% of respondents. These percentages are not approval ratings of the individuals. The percentages represent the share of the respondents who chose them as the most trusted politician.
A year after Cobrapost did a sting operation on the premier media houses of the country and showed how they were willing to act as propaganda machines and even go to the extent of communal polarisation in exchange of money, it came out with Operation Karaoke, another sting operation which exposed some three dozen Bollywood actors as well as TV[Read More...]
President Trump ended his talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un two hours early as North Korea wanted all sanctions lifted entirely while refusing to fully remove all nukes from the country, as Kim views its nuclear arsenal as a guarantor of its security and the way it will be able to preserve its hermit kingdom.
The American public enjoys consuming Hollywood's content, and while some may wag their fingers at the celebrities and executives who create it, they continue to vote with their wallet. While we may recoil at the unethical behavior that permeates the highest echelons of the industry, the foundation of the industry is impressively capitalistic.
Al-Manar | March 1, 2019 Hezbollah on Friday lashed out at UK over its decision to blacklist the Lebanese resistance group, stressing that the move indicates London’s “servile obedience” to the US.

As I stated in my last article concerning the fear of a nuclear war between Pakistan and India, such a war would be devastating to both nations and could cost the lives of hundreds of millions of people... That and the resultant fallout from such a conflict would affect millions more people worldwide... I therefore am on the side of diplomacy and wanting to see these two nations actually settle their differences through peaceful negotiations and NOT through conflict...However, what I came across just earlier today had me shaking my head...

Cohen's testimony was riveting. But I was shocked to hear an obviously deranged old woman who slipped by the NPR call filter last night. She was unable to complete a single thought and was either severely drug addicted and/or so intellectually impaired that dialing the phone must have been her biggest accomplishment of the month. All she could say is that Trump is her president and Cohen should be sent to jail. The host took her seriously and questioned her as though she had an IQ above 70, which she clearly didn't.
Israeli Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit announced on Thursday his decision to indict Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in connection with three separate cases on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust, pending a hearing at which Netanyahu can challenge the charges.

“McCarthyism” is a word thrown around a lot nowadays, and in the process its true meaning – and horror – has been increasingly obscured. McCarthyism is not just the hounding of someone because their views are unpopular. It is the creation by the powerful of a perfect, self-rationalising system of incrimination – denying the victim a voice, even in their[Read More...]
