The Proud Boys and America’s Looming “Long Night” of Political Repression

There is no lie more dangerous than believing America is a free country. Those who act as if it is swiftly learn otherwise, as Gavin McInnes and the Proud Boys can testify. And it’s increasingly hard to take pundits and journalists’ condemnations of “authoritarianism” seriously when Americans are already living under an authoritarian system—albeit one more Kafkaesque and absurd than anything existing in Russia or China. Accompanied by the cheers of journalists, McInnes recently declared he is disassociating from the Proud Boys under legal pressure, apparently to help those members currently caught up in legal proceedings for the “crime” of defending ...

We are at a point of momentous change. You can see it in France, for heaven's sake! A gasoline tax has led to massive revolts and the use of gasoline to torch the city, not unlike tea dumped into a harbor. But, this is the culmination of some high-level meetings, the G8, G7 or G6, however many are currently in the "in" crowd. Somewhere along the line, in the EU or the UN perhaps, the notion was conveyed that the West was a dumping ground; the people too full of Starbucks coffee and ritual social media involvement that they would not mind the wholesale destruction of their culture. To what degree that is true is debatable. I am not suggesting that suddenly there is a ...

NY Bill Would Require Social Media Checks for Gun Purchases By Theodore Bunker | Friday, 23 November 2018 09:11 AM New York may require people buying firearms to submit to a background check of their social media and search history dating back three years, ABC 7 WKBW in Buffalo reports. State Sen. Kevin Parker, the Democratic conference whip, drafted the bill along with Brooklyn borough President Eric Adams. It “requires a person applying for a license to carry or possess a pistol or revolver or a renewal of such license to consent to having his or her social media accounts and search engine history reviewed and investigated for certain posts and/or searches over a period of ...

Published on Oct 31, 2018 Mark Passio's presentation The True Meaning Of The 2nd Amendment, Part 2: Arms, Needs & Cowardcie, was originally given in Philadelphia, PA on June 26, 2018 as part of the Philadelphia Liberty On The Rocks. In this presentation, Mark discusses how ALL weapons of any kind are included as part of the 2nd Amendment’s protection against the infringement of our Natural Right to Self-Defense. He explains that the true need for practical defense against government’s encroachment upon human rights ALWAYS trumps the perceived psychological “need” to “feel safe.” Mark goes on to examine the cowardice that underlies most human ...

All the so-called respectables are up in arms about acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker. I wrote about this earlier this week. But this one deserves a double dip. Whitaker has made friendly remarks about nullification. This is not allowed, even though Thomas Jefferson said the states could nullify unconstitutional federal laws. (No modern critic of the idea ever mentions Jefferson’s name. They’re afraid if we know Jefferson supported it, we peons might get ideas.)

A lawsuit accusing the publisher of the neo-Nazi site Daily Stormer of coordinating a “terror campaign” of online harassment against a Jewish real estate agent cannot be dismissed on First Amendment grounds, a federal judge in Montana ruled this week.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A federal judge's decision to allow a lawsuit to proceed against the publisher of a neo-Nazi website is "dangerous for free speech," the publisher's attorney said Thursday. Attorney Marc Randazza said he believes U.S. District Judge Dana Christensen made a legally flawed decision Wednesday in ruling the First Amendment does not shield Daily Stormer publisher Andrew Anglin from being sued for his followers' anti-Semitic harassment of a Jewish woman and her family in Montana. Randazza said he can "see the allure of not wanting to rule in favor of the Nazi," but expressed concern that the decision could be used to curtail free ...

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”—George Santayana We never learn. In the right (or wrong) hands, benevolent plans can easily be put to malevolent purposes. Even the most well-intentioned government law or program can be—and has been—perverted, corrupted and used to advance illegitimate purposes once profit and power are added to the equation. The war on terror, the war on drugs, the war on illegal immigration, asset forfeiture schemes, road safety schemes, school safety schemes, eminent domain: all of these programs started out as legitimate responses to pressing concerns and have since become weapons of compliance and control ...

In response to my short essay on November 9 ( www.paulcraigroberts.org/...nce-of-myth-over-history/ ), a reader sent me a link to secession documents that implicated slavery, not the tariff, as the reason for Southern secession. It is typical for the uneducated to come across a document of which they have no understanding and to send it off with a rude “got you” note to one who does understand the document. I have explained the Southern states secession from the union in long essays.

Our acting Atty Gen supports nullification! Evidently the acting Attorney General believes, correctly, that the states have the power to nullify unconstitutional federal laws. So the usual suspects went berserk, and trotted out the usual nonsense arguments. I’m especially entertained when law professors speak against state nullification. Why, they didn’t learn this in law school! Which is why, as Kevin Gutzman says, one should never confuse legal training with an education. What law school students learn are a series of cases, and implicitly the nationalist theory of the Union. The compact theory, developed in detail by the Jeffersonians and which makes far more sense of ...
Any Attempt at Political Censorship is an Admission of Having Lost the Debate

Reading about the recent extraordinary measures to shut down democratieparticipative.biz, a French website that is very similar to the Daily Stormer, I was considering the nature of political censorship. The basic fact of the matter is that as soon as you even suggest political censorship, you have admitted that you have lost the battle of ideas. It is a brutal authoritarian measure that is only used when a regime is backed up against the wall, and can no longer justify its own existence. It is really as simple as that. The straightforwardness of this reality leads to those who censor political speech jumping through all different sorts of illogical hoops, traversing all manner of ...

“For soldiers serving in Afghanistan and Iraq, coming home is more lethal than being in combat.” ~ Brené Brown, research professor at the University of Houston Not all heroes wear the uniform of war. In the United States, however, we take particular pride in recognizing as heroes those who have served in the military. Yet while we honor our veterans with holidays, parades, discounts at retail stores and restaurants, and endless political rhetoric about their sacrifice and bravery, we do a pitiful job of respecting their freedoms and caring for their needs once out of uniform. Despite the fact that the U.S. boasts more than 20 million veterans who have served in World ...

Hayden: Constitutional Crisis Odds Increase With Whitaker Matt Whitaker By Sandy Fitzgerald | Friday, 09 November 2018 11:58 AM The odds that the United States could end up in a political or a constitutional crisis have been increased with the appointment of Matt Whitaker as acting attorney general, former NSA and CIA Director Michael Hayden said Friday. "Legal scholars are pointing out that may indeed be unlawful, illegal and illegitimate and his actions that he takes will not have a force of law," Hayden told CNN's "New Day."

Two Anne Arundel County police officers serving one of Maryland’s new “red flag” protective orders to remove guns from a house killed a Ferndale man after he refused to give up his gun and a struggle ensued early Monday morning, police said. The subject of the protective order, Gary J. Willis, 60, answered his door in the 100 block of Linwood Ave. at 5:17 a.m. with a gun in his hand, Anne Arundel County police said. He initially put the gun down next to the door, but “became irate” when officers began to serve him with the order, opened the door and picked up the gun again, police said. “A fight ensued over the gun,” said Sgt. Jacklyn Davis, a police ...

Julian Assange, whom the UN has declared to be “arbitrarily detained” by Britain and Sweden, is used by the Guardian (10/17/18) to illustrate a gag story on “nightmare flatmates.” The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention concluded in February 2016 that the governments of the UK and Sweden had forced WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange into a condition of arbitrary detention in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where he has been since 2012. The group’s press release stated: The expert panel called on the Swedish and British authorities to end Mr. Assange’s deprivation of liberty, respect his physical integrity and freedom of movement, and afford him the ...

In October of last year, I reported on the network of autonomous police vehicles being deployed in Dubai that included hoverbikes and fleets of mini police surveillance vehicles that look like electric cars. The vehicles are part of a citywide initiative of embedding artificial intelligence to patrol with biometric and conventional surveillance tools. I commented at the time that these measures were fairly easy to dismiss by readers accustomed to a constitutional republic, since Dubai is ruled by an absolute monarchy under Sharia Law that has free rein to rapidly implement new forms of governance. Nevertheless, I warned that Dubai was playing host to the World Expo 2020 where they would be ...

Having mastered fake news, now the media are trying out a little fake history. In the news business, new topics are always popping up, from the Logan Act and the emoluments clause to North Korea. The all-star panels rush to Wikipedia, so they can pretend to be experts on things they knew nothing about an hour earlier. Such is the case today with "anchor babies" and "birthright citizenship." People who know zilch about the history of the 14th Amendment are pontificating magnificently and completely falsely on the issue du jour. If you'd like to be the smartest person at your next cocktail party by knowing the truth about the 14th Amendment, this is the column for ...
Torturers' confessions

TORONTO - Jose Barrera gulped down a double shot of Sambuca before he began to talk about his past as a torturer and murderer. He recalled how he nearly suffocated people with rubber masks, how he attached wires to their genitals and shocked them with electricity, how he tore off a man's testicles with a rope. "We let them stay in their own excrement," he said, his gold front tooth reflecting the dim lamplight. "When they were very weak, we would take them to disappear." Images such as these cast a shadow over the lives of Barrera and other men who served in Battalion 316, a CIA-trained military unit that terrorized Honduras for much of the 1980s. At a time ...
Donald Trump’s Wise Challenge to Birthright Citizenship

Among the reasons Donald Trump is president is that his natural political instincts are superior to those of any other current figure. As campaign 2018 entered its final week, Trump seized upon and elevated the single issue that most energizes his populist base and most convulses our media elite. Warning of an “invasion,” he pointed to the migrant caravan that had come out of Honduras and was wending its way through Mexico. He then threatened to issue an executive order ending birthright citizenship. As other caravans began to assemble in Central America, Trump said he would send first 5,200 and then 15,000 troops to the border. This ignited predictable hysteria from the ...

System clearly invites welfare immigration by expectant parents One vexing current problem centers on who becomes the citizen of a given country, since citizenship confers voting rights. The Anglo-American model, in which every baby born in the country’s land area automatically becomes a citizen, clearly invites welfare immigration by expectant parents. In the U.S., for example, a current problem is illegal immigrants whose babies, if born on American soil, automatically become citizens and therefore entitle themselves and their parents to permanent welfare payments and free medical care. Clearly the French system, in which one has to be born to a citizen to become an automatic ...

Greetings fellow neo-Confederates. You have been right all along. How do I know this? Hillary Clinton said so, and if the smartest woman in the world said it, then it has to be true. Of course, she did not directly call herself a “neo-Confederate,” but the progressives have rediscovered federalism and by default have vindicated every evil “neo-Confederate” in America. Clinton sent a series of tweets defending the ability of the States to protect their citizens from evil right wing policies: A reality of a Supreme Court with a right-wing majority is that the states are a new important front in protecting civil rights—especially the rights of the most vulnerable ...
