The High Cost of Empire Maintenance

Every year, congressional delegations and government officials rack up millions of dollars worth of publicly funded distractions abroad. Running an empire is not cheap. The revelation that Navy Secretary Ray Mabus has run up $4.7 million in travel expenses, over 930,000 miles, and a total of 373 days on the road in his five years in office should not surprise anyone, until one realizes that the numbers conceal as much as they reveal. As the Secretary travels by military aircraft and naval vessels, the cost of getting from point A to point B is not included, nor are a lot of the related staffing expenses as they are taken care of by Defense Department personnel who would be getting paid ...

A sequel to the book LBJ: The Mastermind of the JFK Assassination by Phillip F. Nelson was published by Skyhorse Publishing on November 18, 2014. LBJ: From Mastermind to The Colossus validates and vindicates with new evidence many of the assertions made in the first book. And it will reveal even more of Lyndon Johnson’s treasonous acts as President. The new book begins where the original book left off. It continues the previous themes and stories begun in the earlier book and reviews how he created a false image of himself as a great leader. Backtracking briefly to events that preceded JFK’s assassination, the first chapter reviews in depth the newly released documents from the ...

Karl Rove: Of 23 Likely GOP Pres. Hopefuls, the Winner Might Be ... Thursday, 20 Nov 2014 07:40 AM By Elliot Jager By Karl Rove's count, there are 23 Republicans who might be interested in running for president — excluding Mitt Romney. In his latest Wall Street Journal column aimed at "political junkies," Rove sketchily takes inventory of their pluses and minuses. He sees Arkansas' Mike Huckabee as the GOP's "most visible social conservative" while questioning the breadth of support he can muster. "Jeb Bush is a big thinker," though he wonders if another Bush can win. A "thoughtful" Sen. Marco Rubio, also of Florida, appeals to ...

Suppose you saw a person driving his car on the wrong side of a highway, against the traffic. Would you call him a stupid and/or incompetent driver? You say, “Williams, what kind of question is that? Of course he’s one or the other!” I’d say, “Hold your horses. What are his intentions?” If the driver’s intentions are to cause highway calamity, one can hardly call his actions stupid or incompetent. Given his intentions, he is wisely acting in a manner to achieve his objectives. This observation lies at the heart of my colleague Dr. Thomas Sowell’s column last week, in which he says, “Pundits who depict Obama as a weak, lame duck president may be ...
Making the World Democratic

[CLASSIC: 08/20/2002] —During turbulent times like the present, Americans make fervent appeals to "democracy," which they equate with freedom. President Bush is eager to impose democracy on Iraq and other countries whose governments he disapproves of. Woodrow Wilson only wanted to "make the world safe for democracy": Bush wants to make the whole world democratic. Everyone seems to take for granted that democracy is the ideal form of government. Why? What's so great about majority rule? A majority may be as tyrannical as a single dictator, and majorities have often deprived minorities and individuals of their rights -- exploited, enslaved, and murdered them. ...

'What he's seeking to do is bind the next president' While the Obama administration trumpets a “historic” agreement on carbon emissions with China, a leading climate expert says the U.S. economy would have to collapse to comply with the terms of the deal, but President Obama’s main goal is to make it difficult for the next president, Congress and the courts to strike down his many environmental regulations. While in China for the Asia-Pacific Economic Summit, Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping came to an agreement that would have the U.S. reducing its carbon emissions between 26 and 28 percent from 2005 levels. The Chinese, meanwhile, vowed to try to peak ...
Is Ron Paul Right? More Neocon Wars Coming!

You can tell Congress to bring the troops home from Iraq using DownsizeDC.org's campaign. Please feel free to borrow from or copy this letter... Ron Paul thinks the GOP’s Congressional victory will lead to more wars. (bit.ly/10nkero) I fear he's right. Neocon extremists always support war, and they will pressure Obama to start more of them. We're ALREADY seeing it. Obama's sending 1,500 more troops to "train" Iraqi troops in a “non-combat” role. How long before even more “advisors” are sent on the way? And how long before they DO engage in combat? Why does this scenario feel so familiar to us, but not to anyone on Capitol Hill? ...
Can Anarcho-Capitalism Work?

This talk was delivered at the Costa Mesa Mises Circle on Society Without the State, November 8, 2014. The term “anarcho-capitalism” has, we might say, rather an arresting quality. But while the term itself may jolt the newcomer, the ideas it embodies are compelling and attractive, and represent the culmination of a long development of thought. If I had to boil it down to a handful of insights, they would be these: (1) each human being, to use John Locke’s formulation, “has a property in his own person”; (2) there ought to be a single moral code binding all people, whether they are employed by the State or not; and (3) society can run itself without central ...
Ukraine accuses Russia of sending in tanks, escalating crisis

KIEV/MOSCOW (Reuters) - Ukraine's military accused Russia on Friday of sending a column of 32 tanks and truckloads of troops into the country's east to support pro-Russian separatists fighting government forces. Thursday's cross-border incursion, if confirmed, is a significant escalation of a conflict that has killed more than 4,000 people since the separatists rose up in mid-April and would call into question Russia's commitment to a two-month-old ceasefire deal. The truce has looked particularly fragile this week, with each side accusing the other of violations after separatist elections last Sunday condemned as illegitimate by the West. "Supplies of military ...

Many Americans regard the White House as the lair of a powerful being who can snap his fingers and make things happen Writing for Americans is not always an enjoyable experience. Many readers want to have their prejudices confirmed, not challenged. Emotions rule their reason, and they are capable of a determined resistance to facts and are not inhibited from displays of rudeness and ignorance. Indeed, some are so proud of their shortcomings that they can’t wait to show them to others. Some simply cannot read and confuse explanations with justifications as if the act of explaining something justifies the person or event explained. Thankfully, all readers are not handicapped in these ...

Hillary Clinton Just Proved Once and For All She Has No Business Being President Whatever Hillary Clinton may have said in the past that had you shaking your head in disbelief, forget about it. Her latest remarks should be all it takes to demonstrate beyond any shadow of a doubt that she is not qualified to lead the nation. Last Friday she spoke at a campaign rally in Boston, and she said had this to say about how the economy works: Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs. You know, that old theory, trickle-down economics, that has been tried, that has failed. It has failed rather spectacularly. You know, one of the things my ...
NY Times: Mounting Crises Raise Questions on Obama Team’s Ability to Cope

WASHINGTON — One day this month, as the nation shuddered with fears of an Ebola outbreak and as American warplanes pounded Sunni militants in Syria, President Obama’s national security adviser, Susan E. Rice, invited a group of foreign policy experts to the White House Situation Room to hear their assessment of how the administration was performing. She was peppered with critiques of the president’s Syria and China policies, as well as the White House’s repeated delays in releasing a national security strategy, a congressionally mandated document that sets out foreign policy goals. On that last point, Ms. Rice had a sardonic reply. “If we had put it out in ...

Senator Rand Paul is everywhere: campaigning for Republican candidates during the crucial midterm elections, on Fox News explaining to Hannity why going into Iraq with ground troops is a mistake, teaming up with Cory Booker to call for reform of federal sentencing guidelines – and, as Olivia Nuzzi points out, the media is scrutinizing his every word as if he were already the GOP presidential nominee. When he gave his much-anticipated foreign policy speech to the Center for the National Interest, reporters were live-tweeting it as they would a presidential inaugural. And, unlike earlier media frenzies over such nonentities as Herman Cain, Michelle Bachman, and Chris "close the ...
Obama Beats a 16-Year Record No President Should Ever Want to Beat

Obama Beats a 16-Year Record No President Should Ever Want to Beat It’s refreshing to see people waking up to how horrible the present administration and Democratic policies have been to our country. There may be hope, after all. Why? Because Obama has the highest percentage of people actively opposing him and his party of any President in the last 16 years (hat tip to this article for pointing this out to us.) Yes, that’s right, a higher percentage of people now oppose Obama than Bush in 2006. If you recall, 2006 was the year when Republicans took a beating in the mid-term elections because anti-Bush sentiment was all the rage in the mainstream media (not that it has ...

"I would think she'd be pretty average, pretty mediocre, pretty much for war, pretty much for welfare-ism, pretty much for deficits, pretty supportive of the Federal Reserve and loving the military-industrial complex," Paul told "PolitcKING" host Larry King during the veteran talk show host's Ora.tv's show, reports Politico.

POLITICO POLL: 64% BELIEVE AMERICA IS 'OUT OF CONTROL' A devastating new Politico poll reveals voters believe America has spun off its axis and is "out of control." "An overwhelming majority of voters in the most competitive 2014 elections say it feels as if events in the United States are 'out of control' and expressed mounting alarm about terrorism, anxiety about Ebola and harsh skepticism of both political parties only three weeks before the Nov. 4 midterms," reports Politico. The poll, which surveyed states and districts in the most competitive congressional races, found that 64% of Americans believe "things in the U.S. feel like they are out ...

US Plans to Print 34 Million Green Cards for Illegal Plan Monday, 20 Oct 2014 02:05 PM By Greg Richter The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has published a draft solicitation for immigrant ID cards that anticipates a "surge" in immigrants in 2016, Breitbart reports. The proposal request says a minimum of 4 million cards would need to be produced per year, with the ability to produce 9 million cards "to support possible future immigration reform initiative requirements." One estimate suggests that 34 million cards will be printed in total. A USCIS official told the U.K.'s MailOnline on Monday that a plan was developed "in case the president ...

You knew it was coming, right? No, not the further spread of Ebola. That’ll happen later. What’s happened is the outbreak of another infectious disease: The creation of more government and more government corruption. When the federal government’s incompetence and stupidity is revealed to the public, the Great Father then rolls out his usual solution. More government and more corruption. I am speaking of Great Father Obama’s response to EbolaGate, which is to appoint, you guessed it, an “Ebola Czar”. Oh, I feel so much better now! Now, you would think that Obama would find a skilled medical professional with an extensive background in infectious diseases. You ...

Democrats’ Senate candidate in West Virginia, Natalie Tennant, would not mention President Obama by name when asked whom she voted for in the previous election. Two other Democratic Senate candidates, Alison Lundergan Grimes of Kentucky and Michelle Nunn of Georgia, have recently refused to answer questions about whom they supported when President Obama, unpopular in all their states, was on the ballot. Citing Grimes’s mishaps, the Charleston Daily Mail editorial board asked during a candidates’ forum whether the candidates would be willing to say whom they last supported for president.

In an interview today with Politika, a Serbian newspaper, Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, said that it is futile and dangerous for the US and its European puppets to blackmail Russia and that the Exceptional Nation and its vassals should consider the risks that are inherent in aggressive disputes between countries heavily armed with nuclear weapons. Putin noted that Obama took a hostile attitude toward Russia in Obama’s UN speech to the General Assembly on September 24 when Obama declared Russia to be one of the three threats to the world along with the Islamic State and ebola. President Putin said that unilateral and punitive actions taken against Russia can provoke a ...

Dick Morris: Panetta Carried Out Hillary's Political 'Hit' on Obama Friday, 10 Oct 2014 04:33 PM Desperate to evade blame for a U.S. foreign policy in shambles, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton got an old crony — Leon Panetta — to backstab their former boss, President Barack Obama, by blaming him for the bloody rise of the Islamic State (ISIS), says political analyst and author Dick Morris. Morris told "MidPoint" host Ed Berliner on Newsmax TV Friday that Panetta, who served alongside Clinton as director of central intelligence and secretary of defense, is using his new memoir and media tour to help Clinton get distance from a flailing president ...

All Eyes on the Swiss Gold Referendum Will The Swiss Vote to Get Their Gold Back. by Ron Paul Posted Oct 8, 2014. On November 30th, voters in Switzerland will head to the polls to vote in a referendum on gold. On the ballot is a measure to prohibit the Swiss National Bank (SNB) from further gold sales, to repatriate Swiss-owned gold to Switzerland, and to mandate that gold make up at least 20 percent of the SNB’s assets. Arising from popular sentiment similar to movements in the United States, Germany, and the Netherlands, this referendum is an attempt to bring more oversight and accountability to the SNB, Switzerland’s central bank. ….no tyrannical regime in history ...
