Boy Scouts Win Battle in Court

A Philadelphia jury has ruled in favor of the Boy Scouts, meaning they will not be evicted from their home or forced to pay rent, at least for now. Outside the courthouse, a lawyer for the Boy Scouts, Jason Gosselin, told Fox News the Scouts won on the most important issue, that of First Amendment rights. The jury found the city posed an unconstitutional condition on the organization by asking it to pay $200,000 annual rent on property it was leasing for a dollar a year, in a building the Scouts built and paid for themselves, all because the city felt the Scouts were in violation of Philadelphia's anti-discrimination laws. "What we really want is to sit down with the city and ...
The Myth of Political Consent

This is an excerpt from Direct Citizen Action: How We Can Win the Second American Revolution Without Firing a Shot. Permit me to digress into a discussion of the meaning of political consent and its withdrawal. I am not saying that the American people ever explicitly consented to be ruled by the regime on the Potomac, or that they are parties to some mysterious Social Contract that implies their consent. That is all utter nonsense and propaganda. I know I never consented to be ruled by a regime that I have strongly opposed since my teenage years. Nor have I ever signed a Social Contract allowing them to rule over me. I’d be a jackass if I had. To the best of my knowledge, no living ...
Corporate atrocities against nature may ultimately destroy human civilization

(NaturalNews) What's most striking about the present BP oil catastrophe is not that it is an aberration but rather part of a dangerous pattern of mankind's propensity to destroy nature. To destroy life in a large region of an ocean isn't even new: The world already has over two hundred "dead zones" where fish can't live because the ocean water has no more oxygen left thanks to the runoff effects of man-made chemicals. Not content with mere deforestation and the vast destruction of biodiversity on land, Man has now expanded to destroy the oceans through overfishing, ocean acidification from CO2 emissions, agricultural runoff, flushing pharmaceuticals down the drain ...
Gulf Oil Catastrophe - Epic Lies And Deceit

Gulf Oil Catastrophe - Epic Lies And Deceit ©By Dr. Ilya Sandra Perlingieri 6-21-10 For the past two months, I have been following closely the heart-wrenching ecological unraveling of the entire Gulf of Mexico from the initial explosion on the 50-mile offshore oil rig on April 20 and the ensuing massive toxicity. Even before the explosion, there is enough evidence (even from the New York Times) to show that this was more than an accident. Insiders sold shares before April 20. Poor-to-no management. Warnings from those on site that went unheeded. The list goes on and on. With a well this deep, on a geologically unstable seabed, there was no precaution. No emergency plans. No care. No ...
Police Misconduct and Public Accountability - What are they trying to hide?

Why is it difficult to prosecute police officers for criminal misconduct even when the abuse is severe and unequivocal? A February news item from WSVN-TV in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale points to one reason. A homeless man’s attorney said surveillance video shows deputies used excessive force in his arrest. Gerald McGovern, 58 [said he] did not attack them, as charged. Instead, they attacked him. The public defender’s office said the surveillance video clears McGovern and implicates BSO [Broward Sheriff’s Office]…. A witness, Roberto Aguilara, backed up McGovern’s claim. Note the omission. The news report names the alleged victim, the witness and (elsewhere) the lawyer ...
Man Buys Police Website After Speeding Ticket

Nobody likes getting a speeding ticket. But when Brian McCrary, 33, received a speeding ticket in Bluff City, Tennessee, he didn't just complain, he bought the local police department's website and used it to complain. After receiving a $90 speeding ticket earlier this year for cruising through what he called a speed trap, McCrary went to the Bluff City Police Department's website to reschedule his hearing. When he saw that the site's content had been replaced with a notice saying that the domain name was on the verge of expiring, he saw an opportunity. He waited a few weeks until the name had officially lapsed, and then he pounced. "I really thought for sure that ...
White Men as Modern Scapegoats

June 20, 2010 I look at the Gospels not so much as religion but as good practical wisdom about people, their motivations, and their behavior. There are at least four archetypes in the Gospels that applied not only then but also today. They are the State, the Mob, the Leaders, and the Scapegoat/Human Sacrifice. The leaders incite the mob into a frenzy, and both then call for the scapegoat/human to be sacrificed through the power of the state. The Gospels tell us that the leaders of Jesus' time saw him as a threat, one whom they erroneously thought would bring the Romans to destroy their nation. They incited and united the mob against him by claiming he was a danger. He was then ...
Learning from the Right

I read with interest Greg Johnson’s recent article about Douglas Hyde’s Dedication and Leadership, a book where the author — who fed 20 years of his life to the meat-grinder of Communist activism — provided trenchant advise on how best to mobilize the idealism, and inspire the sacrifice, of those seeking to change the world. In bringing Hyde to readers’ attention, Johnson’s aim was to encourage activists on the Right to learn from the winners on the Left. The Right, he argued, has been fighting a losing battle since 1943, to the point where nowadays even so-called “conservatives” are defined by their political enemies. Understanding, therefore, how ...
The Lust for Money and War

One of the temptations of Jesus (whose real name was Joshua, but the way) was when the Devil offered him political power over the world, and he refused it. Then there was Jesus’ comment about being unable to serve both God and money. St. Paul echoed this when he wrote that “The lust [not love] of money is the root of all evil.” The lust for money, and the lust for political power. The trouble those two things have wrought in the world! Most especially when they’re combined. Governments have killed more people in the world than everything else combined. That’s what political power does. And then we have the lust for money. And when the lust for money is combined ...
Filming the Police

Filming the Police In at least three U.S. states, it is illegal to film an active duty policeman: The legal justification for arresting the "shooter" rests on existing wiretapping or eavesdropping laws, with statutes against obstructing law enforcement sometimes cited. Illinois, Massachusetts, and Maryland are among the 12 states in which all parties must consent for a recording to be legal unless, as with TV news crews, it is obvious to all that recording is underway. Since the police do not consent, the camera-wielder can be arrested. Most all-party-consent states also include an exception for recording in public places where "no expectation of privacy exists" ...
The 2010 Silver Buying Guide

Silver has been sizzling and causing lots of buzz in the industry. Investors are excited. Part of the hubbub is due to its current run. Since its February 8 low, silver has roared ahead 22.4% (through June 21) and has doubled from its November 2008 low. This excitement has spilled over into greater investment demand – especially so for coins. The U.S. Mint sold more Silver Eagles in the first quarter of this year – just over nine million – than any prior quarter in its history. The Royal Canadian Mint produced 9.7 million silver maple leafs in 2009, also a record. Take a look at the jump in U.S. Mint coin sales since 2007. Silver bullion ETFs are growing, too, ...

How an Alabama fire chief risked jail to save town from Gulf oil spill

Jamie Hinton, the volunteer fire chief of tiny Magnolia Springs, Ala., has a plan to use a blockade of barges to stop the Gulf oil spill from entering the Magnolia River. For a time, he went ahead with the plan, even though it might have landed him in jail. Members of the Fish River Marlow Fire Department work to anchor oil containment booms at the mouth of Weeks Bay in Magnolia Springs, Ala., June 6. Officials plan move the small barge at right rear across the mouth of the bay in an attempt to block the Gulf oil spill. Dave Martin/AP

The Four Cardinal Virtues and Government
Post Date: 2010-06-16 10:58:08 by Turtle

The Four Cardinal Virtues are not what most people think they are. Justice and Courage sound like good things; Prudence and Temperance, don’t, not really, to many people. The idea that many people have of them, they sound like they take a lot of the fun out of life. But in reality they are good things. It’s just that most people don’t understand the correct definitions. Prudence is actually defined as “using reason to discover the laws that govern reality.” Basically, that’s it. It’s not just theoretical knowledge; it’s also practical knowledge--putting what you know into effect. Let’s use economics as an example. Someone who is prudent will ...
Richard Simkanin, Political Prisoner, Getting Out

This Friday, June 18th, Richard Simkanin, after having been held as a political prisoner by the U.S. tyrants for over SIX YEARS, will be free (relatively speaking). I cannot even begin to express the injustice that Mr. Simkanin has had to endure, in so many different ways. What the god-complex megalomaniacs and their mercenaries-- especially one sadistic fascist swine called "Judge" John McBryde-- did to Mr. Simkanin is despicable. They hate him for his honesty and courage, and his determination to tell the truth and do the right thing, and they made sure to do whatever they could to destroy his business, ruin his finances, mess up his family and social life, assault his ...
Why Christian Zionists are Not Christian

Poor Nietzsche. Half genius, half insane – and after his untreated syphilis advanced far enough, totally insane. The trigger for his breakdown was when he saw a horse being beaten. He threw his arms around it, sobbing. He never recovered, and ended his days in an insane asylum. For all of his attempts to portray himself as a bad boy, Nietzsche was in real life anything but. For one thing, he was far too sensitive for his own good, even though he tried to pretend he wasn’t sensitive at all. As hard as he tried to not to, he identified with victims, and that’s why the horse being beaten broke him. In one of his writings, “Dionysius vs. the Crucified,” Nietzsche ...
State Dept Wants Own ‘Combat Force’ for Iraq

Officials Aim to 'Duplicate' Military Force After Dec. 2011 Tenuous though it may be, the Obama Administration maintains that it still intends to complete the Iraq military pullout by the end of December 2011. Even that won’t be the end of combat operations, however. Now the US State Department is looking to get into the war fighting business in its own right, saying it needs its own combat force to meet the “extreme security challenges in Iraq.” Not only is the State Department looking for a combat force, they insist they need to “duplicate the capabilities of the US military,” seeking to acquire 24 Black Hawk helicopters, and a number of other combat ...

Editor's note: This column is an excerpt from Dr. Ted Baehr and Pat Boone's new book "The Culture-wise Family: Upholding Christian Values in a Mass Media World." In the book, entertainment expert Dr. Ted Baehr and legendary musician Pat Boone urge people to make wise choices for themselves and their families so they can protect their children from toxic messages in the culture. The following is Chapter 10, written by historian Williams S. Lind. Sometime during the last half-century, someone stole our culture. Just 50 years ago, in the 1950s, America was a great place. It was safe. It was decent. Children got good educations in the public schools. Even blue-collar fathers ...

Over the last decade, a bipartisan consensus has been emerging among politicians, the prestige press, and leading philanthropists: the racial gap in achievement is the fault of—schoolteachers! If only schoolteachers were more multiculturally sensitive, or if only they held students to more rigorous standards, or if only they could be fired in large numbers and replaced by young investment banker-types who work 19 hours per day and live on Red Bull and idealism, or if only … well, the cure-all proposals go on and on. As a certain anonymous teacher wrote in an important essay on Achievement Gap Politics on the National Association of Scholars blog on May 9th: “Educational ...

Human Accomplishment: The Pursuit of Excellence in the Arts and Sciences, 800 BC to 1950 is a book by Charles Murray surveying outstanding contributions to the arts and sciences from ancient times to the mid-twentieth century. The book represents the first attempt to quantify the accomplishment of individuals and countries worldwide in the fields of arts and sciences by calculating the amount of space allocated to them in reference works, an area of research sometimes referred to as historiometry. Murray found that nearly all scientific progress, and all important scientific and artistic ideas, were made by white Europeans or their descendants (such as white Americans, Australians, ...

“Truth comes by conflict.” ~ Hillaire Belloc “Without contraries, there is no progression.” ~ William Blake I used to write for a libertarian site (well, sort of libertarian) called LewRockwell.com. But no more. My archives have been erased, and on top of that, they have been erased from the Google cache, which can only happen if the owner of the site where the articles were posted requests it (I�ve already saved all of them, so not to worry). Now who could it be who did this, I wonder? By the way, over 200 articles were destroyed. 217, I think. All dropped down the libertarian version of Orwell’s Memory Hole. I’m not the only one who ...
