"On the weekend of March 10-11, 50 people will gather in Provo, Utah to discuss strategies and make definite plans for achieving this goal. Winning elections won't be on the agenda; when, in all of human history, has any people ever voted themselves free? Nor will we consider violent rebellion, which is likely to be destructive of the very ends we seek. So what does that leave? Quite a bit, it turns out. ... Researcher Gene Sharp counts 198 distinct methods of nonviolent action."

"All American legislators who voted this month to ignore or violate the sacrosanct laws of the Geneva Convention and the basic right of habeas corpus, and who disgracefully voted to legalize torture, should be ousted."

"With rare exceptions, you have just seconds to respond and defend yourself or face serious injury or death. At home or on the street, in a dark parking lot or in your own driveway. Your level of awareness of those around you is vital. The nature and speed of your response may be all that can save your life - or someone you love."

"I'm eagerly anticipating a Republican defeat because the party richly deserves it after failing so miserably to deliver on its promises of smaller (or even slightly less gargantuan) government. The combination of a Democratic Congress and a Republican president could not possibly be worse, and might very well be better, than the current arrangement, in which a Republican executive and a Republican legislature conspire to mulct our money and filch our freedoms."

"This is our beloved country now as you have redefined it, Mr. Bush. Get a tortured Vietnam veteran to attack a decorated Vietnam veteran in defense of military personnel whom that decorated veteran did not insult. Or, get your henchmen to take advantage of the evil lingering dregs of the fear of miscegenation in Tennessee, in your party’s advertisements against Harold Ford. Or, get the satellites who orbit around you, like Rush Limbaugh, to exploit the illness — and the bipartisanship — of Michael J. Fox. Yes, get someone to make fun of the cripple. Oh, and sir, don’t forget to drag your own wife into it."

"Slaves generally got to keep about one-half of what they produced in order to survive. Serfs got a little bit better deal as the lord took only about one-third of their labor and they survived on the other two-thirds. Today taxpayers have a sliding scale somewhere between the traditional limits of slaves and serfs. The master and the lord justified their taking with the line that they provided protection from other masters and lords as well as providing dispute resolution services, housing, roads, water wells and other infrastructure. Some slaves and serfs even told their fellow slaves and serfs that this was a good deal and they were lucky that their master or lord was so much better than the others. "

"Drastically reducing legal entries from Mexico would be an economic disaster. Mexico is America's second largest trading partner, and expanding trade and investment ties depend on expanding cross-border visits. Mexican shoppers and tourists have fueled economic growth in U.S. border communities. The only lasting solution to illegal immigration will be to offer a legal alternative. If congressional leaders truly want a 'secure border,' any enforcement efforts must be combined with comprehensive immigration reform. "

"In my dream, the State does not exist. Politics has become irrelevant, as there is no State power to wield and politics therefore offers no prospects of self-aggrandizement. Individuals interact, one trader to another, focusing on personal achievement rather than power. Those interested in exerting power over others find no opportunity in this place--those who are truly free do not submit to re-enslavement. "

"The Birkenstockers and their allies might not have had a clue what to do about Nat. But, being government supremacists, they knew that they had to do something to scare us into line. That, after all, is the basic function of gummint. And there, right in front of them, sat the peaceful, but nay-saying Goodins. How very, very tempting. "

"Libertarians, especially the anarcho variety, wonder why anyone who truly has values would bother to vote at all. Between the Donkeycrats and the Grand Old Partyarchs there ain't no lesser of two evils. Below are excerpts from one such mass-circulated dreadmail stating the horrors of a Democrat win (each one is reprinted verbatim), followed by what, based on their track record, Republicans would do instead, followed thereafter by the libertarian response to both."

"Since there is no central planning of Halloween, the goodies people distribute will vary widely. Some houses will distribute several different items and change them throughout the night. Others will stick to the same thing. A child might get a candy bar, a lollypop, gum, or many other possibilities. The kids know that some houses will give them treats they absolutely love. Others will give them things that [they] don’t particularly care for. So what will they do? They will trade."

"More and more Americans are waking up to the fact that no bureaucrat, no matter how well meaning if such exists, can keep them safe or well. Au contrer, mon ami. Like any good thing worth having, health does not happen by accident. Like it or not, it has always been about taking personal responsibility, and it always will be. "

"Libertarian voters tend to get ignored by political strategists because they're not easy to categorize or organize. They don't congregate in churches or union halls; they don't unite to push political agendas. Many don't even call themselves libertarians, although they qualify because of their social liberalism and economic conservatism: they want the government out of their bedrooms as well as their wallets. They distrust moral busybodies of both parties, and they may well be the most important bloc of swing voters this election...."

"Upshur’s book considers the logical and historical difficulties involved in the nationalist view. For instance, when exactly did the thirteen states come to comprise 'one people' – a central plank of the nationalist theory – and cease to be thirteen separate peoples?"

"Pulling for the Abortion Party does not mean that I like it. It’s just that divided government is preferable to domination by the Torture Party. Some may object that it’s unfair to call the Democratic Party the Abortion Party. Others may think it’s mean to call the Republican Party the Torture Party. They are wrong. ... [D]ivided government is our best hope today. There is no other way to check President Bush’s worst impulses. The Republicans have not and will not restrain the President. They will never impeach Bush. "

"Whereas people will suffer through incredible abuses when imposed by people who share their nationality, they will not tolerate the same from those whom they regard as alien. The result is social and political upheaval. And what is the source? Not capitalism. Not immigration as such. Rather the core problem is the state, which enables some people to rob others on their own behalf. All other concerns are a distraction from the key issue."

"The U.S. armed forces are technically well-trained, lavishly resourced Second Generation militaries. They are being fought and defeated by Fourth Generation opponents in both Iraq and Afghanistan. They can also be defeated by Third Generation enemies who can observe, orient, decide and act more quickly than can America's vast, process-ridden, Powerpoint-enslaved military headquarters. They can be defeated by strategy, by stratagem, by surprise and by preemption. Unbeatable militaries are like unsinkable ships. They are unsinkable until someone or something sinks them."
http://www.counterpunch.org/lind10312006.html
"Thus, by his own admission, Bush regards war — slaughter, ruin, chaos and terror — as the measure of success, the path to greatness. He sees blood as the prime lubricant for his rapacious domestic policies. He uses unprovoked military aggression to achieve his personal and political goals."
http://www.chris-floyd.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=908&Itemid=135
"In a stealth maneuver, President Bush has signed into law a provision which, according to Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), will actually encourage the President to declare federal martial law (1). It does so by revising the Insurrection Act, a set of laws that limits the President's ability to deploy troops within the United States. The Insurrection Act (10 U.S.C.331 -335) has historically, along with the Posse Comitatus Act (18 U.S.C.1385), helped to enforce strict prohibitions on military involvement in domestic law enforcement. With one cloaked swipe of his pen, Bush is seeking to undo those prohibitions."

"What's dangerous about what's going on right now is that an electoral defeat of the Republicans next week, and perhaps a similar defeat in a presidential race two years from now, might fool some people into thinking that the responsibility for the Iraq war can be sunk forever with George Bush and the Republican politicians who went down with his ship. But in fact the real responsibility for the Iraq war lay not with Bush but with the Lettermans, the Wolf Blitzers, the CNNs, The New York Timeses of the world -- the malleable middle of the American political establishment who three years ago made a conscious moral choice to support a military action that even a three-year-old could have seen made no fucking sense at all."
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/12272000
"For two years, American sergeants, captains and majors training the Iraqis have told their bosses that Iraqi troops have no sense of national identity, are only in it for the money, don’t show up for duty and cannot sustain themselves. Meanwhile, colonels and generals have asked their bosses for more troops. Service chiefs have asked for more money. And all along, Rumsfeld has assured us that things are well in hand. Now, the president says he’ll stick with Rumsfeld for the balance of his term in the White House. This is a mistake." [That might seem less than radical, but consider the source.]
http://www.armytimes.com/story.php?f=1-292925-2333360.php
"The endgame has begun. And whether the Americans withdraw to a few 'superbases' in the desert, or 'redeploy' over the border in Kuwait, or have to fight their way out of the Green Zone in a mad dash for the last transports leaving the airport, nothing will stop the bloodbath that Bush and his henchmen have set in motion. They have destroyed the Iraqi state and Iraqi society – along with vast swathes of the Iraqi population – and the consequences of this moral insanity, this willful, deliberate evil, will be terrible to behold."

"So what can the citizenry do against the tactics of machine manipulation, voter suppression and voter elimination too numerous to go into here? Shall we look to the Bush v Gore Supreme Court for relief? Or perhaps Alberto Gonzales's Justice Department? Or to the state authorities in the twenty-eight states that have Republican governors?"

"What happens when more people view more of it? The rise of the Internet offers a gigantic natural experiment. Better yet, because Internet usage caught on at different times in different states, it offers 50 natural experiments. The bottom line on these experiments is, 'More Net access, less rape.' A 10 percent increase in Net access yields about a 7.3 percent decrease in reported rapes."

"As it relates to our resource problems, the Coase Theorem tells us that once we take the first step, actually defining the rights to a resource, the 'tragedy of the commons' for that resource will disappear as long as a free market exists. We can see the Coase Theorem at work today in the world of surfing where an interesting development in property rights has recently occurred — where a resource that has traditionally been unowned is currently undergoing a positive transformation."

"A free market, in contrast, will provide for both patients and donors what they need: the patient gets the blood, while the donor may get money.... For many poor people, who don't really have much to live on, this could only be a blessing.... The main objection to a free market for blood is that this would commodify the human body. The view is that there are many things on which you should not put a price because that will, supposedly, degrade them. Yet, putting a price on something does not degrade that thing, unless you have something against commerce as such."

"Inflation is the depreciation of a currency’s purchasing power. This once occurred through governments debasing their currencies – such as mixing bronze into gold coinage – to artificially reduce their debts or fund increased spending. When such policies were implemented by the sixteenth-century Spanish monarchy, they were condemned as fraud by Spanish theologians. Today, this depreciation occurs via increases in the amount of fiat currency circulating in an economy relative to the economy’s potential output."

"A development company is thinking about suing Florida and the city of Riviera Beach for refusing to use eminent domain to provide land for upscale condominiums and a marina. Viking Inlet Harbor Properties was assured the city would condemn a number of working-class homes, but the city council had second thoughts. Now the company fears the $50 million it has already spent acquiring other lots will go to waste."

"Wal-Mart stands to benefit from a higher federal minimum wage in much the same way as high-wage-area producers do. Wal-Mart already pays more than the federal minimum. In low-wage areas a federal minimum-wage increase would raise their competitors' costs but not their own. Other things equal, that could increase the demand for Wal-Mart's products and improve its bottom line."

"The story seems simple enough. An outside privacy and security advisory committee to the Department of Homeland Security penned a tough report concluding the government should not use chips that can be read remotely in identification documents. But the report remains stuck in draft mode, even as new identification cards with the chips are being announced."

"Of course, everyone in Washington already knew that doomsday was approaching. That's the way the system was designed from the very beginning. It's all part of the madcap scheme to 'starve the beast' and transfer the nation's wealth to a handful of western plutocrats. That's explains why the Fed and the White House whirred along like two spokes on the same wheel; every policy calculated to thrust the country headlong toward disaster."

"War generates authoritarianism – and it also generates more wars. The present war doesn't exist in isolation from the rest of reality: it cannot be conveniently compartmentalized so that we can live a normal life, that is, the life of a free people, while it rages. The longer it goes on, the more it eats away at the very foundations of our republic: the moral, political, and economic pillars that hold up the roof of the social order. And keep in mind that this war is supposed to last for at least a generation, if not longer, according to our leaders. That's more than long enough to fatally undermine the values that make life in America worth living."

"Constitutional rights are formidable American myths. The American press is often put forward as constitutionally having the freest speech on earth; and it does, theoretically. Yet during every period of internal repression, the press and broadcast journalism have played a compliant, 'Pravda' role, backing imperial wars, indulging the lies of the 'red baiter' Joe McCarthy, promoting phoney debates about phoney threats (Cuba, Nicaragua, the nuclear arms race) and the supercult of 'anti-communism'."

"The "War for Oil" is not just being fought in Iraq, you know. For as the Warmonger-in-Chief never tires of telling us, the "Homeland" itself is a major front in his never-ending war on – not terror, because his policies are fomenting and exacerbating terrorism around the world – but on anything and everything that might impinge in the slightest degree on the profits, power and privilege of the tiny clique of predatory elites that he represents."

"I don’t think many people are thinking what I’m going to say this week. But who knows? In a few weeks, maybe they’ll start to. The way I see it, there’s only one way the GOP can hold onto Congress. And that’s if they fix the elections. I know this sounds crazy. Or even vaguely Democratic. But trust me: I say this as neither a Democrat (which I’m not), nor a concerned American (which I’m not). I am simply a casual observer who has casually observed Republicans screwing up the country over the last six years."

"Unlike the pound in 1956, the dollar is too ubiquitous to fold overnight. In addition, there is no currency large enough to replace it. However, if faith in the dollar were to slide precipitously, it is conceivable that the world powers would devise another monetary scheme to prevent the world from plunging into chaos, as in the 1930s. "
http://www.antiwar.com/orig/berga.php?articleid=9957
"This deception regarding the nature of freedom was undoubtedly one of the greatest achievements of the Franklin Roosevelt administration in the 1930s. You’ll recall that Roosevelt revolutionized American life by making the concept of the welfare state and regulated society a permanent fixture in our nation. But rather than convincing the American people of the virtues of socialism, paternalism, and government control, as other regimes in the world were doing, Roosevelt convinced Americans that their new system was, in fact, designed to save freedom and free enterprise. Americans bought the argument and ever since have lived under an oppressive economic system that they honestly, but mistakenly, believe is freedom and free enterprise."
http://www.fff.org/freedom/fd0607a.asp
"Under federal law, the U.S. Dollar, in various denominations, is defined as 'legal tender,' meaning that it must be accepted as payment for 'all debts, public and private.' Since August 15, 1971, when President Richard Nixon severed the last links between the dollar and gold, the Federal Reserve Note (FRN) has not been backed by precious metals or commodities of any kind. Its value is provided by the 'full faith and credit' of the U.S. Government – which means, in practice, that people accept it in payment because the federal government forces them to."

"Cowperthwaite made Hong Kong the most economically free economy in the world and pursued free trade, refusing to make its citizens buy expensive locally-produced goods if they could import cheaper products from elsewhere."

"It seems virtually certain that there will be more violence in 'staying the course.' That being the case, it can no longer be a moral decision to say, in effect: Let's let those kids from the inner cities and the farms stay the course for us; who knows, maybe they'll be lucky! I cannot resist the temptation to recall that all of this was entirely predictable—and predicted. Almost exactly a year ago we took strong issue with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's insistence that the war in Iraq was 'winnable'. "
http://www.tompaine.com/articles/2006/10/30/bush_the_cheerleader.php
"Democrats, anti-war libertarians, and others making up the two-thirds of Americans who disapprove of the war should leap into this phraseology vacuum. We should label President Bush’s Iraq policy or its effects before he and Mr. Rove dream up another demagogic phrase to attempt to hide the policy’s failure."

"Roberts, whose book, A War Against Truth, is one of the very best accounts of the mad march to aggression, was in Iraq during the earliest days of the invasion, as "Shock and Awe" gave way to shakedown and atrocity. "

"For all their criticisms of the way Bush has waged the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, most Democrats do not challenge the central concept of the war on terror. They merely claim that they could fight it better. Only a few intellectual Democrats, such as the financier and philanthropist George Soros, insist that the very idea of the war on terror is, in his words, 'a false metaphor'. Most Europeans, by contrast, agree with Soros."

"Boole approached logic in a new way reducing it to a simple algebra, incorporating logic into mathematics. He pointed out the analogy between algebraic symbols and those that represent logical forms. It began the algebra of logic called Boolean algebra which now finds application in computer construction, switching circuits etc. Boole himself understood the importance of the work."

Fantasy adventure stars Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, William Moseley, Anna Popplewell, Tilda Swinton, James McAvoy, Jim Broadbent, and the voice of Liam Neeson; directed by Andrew Adamson. “[T]his movie makes a basic assumption that adventure lies very close, virtually around the corner, in all of our daily lives.

"What we call statesmanship is, emotionally and morally, indistinguishable from gang war in South Chicago. The scale is more imposing and, under some administrations, the grammar better. Aggressive males rise to power in heavily armed countries of many millions. Then they push and shove, bark and bow-wow at others like themselves in other countries. The tribal trappings remain, particularly among the warriors: Baubles and medals and patches and different hats, talk of honor and duty and valor. Nah. Males dogs in an alley."

"Soghoian claims that he wanted to demonstrate the vulnerability. You could argue that he went about it in a stupid way, but I don't think what he did is substantively worse than what I wrote in 2003. Or what Schumer described in 2005. Why is it that the person who demonstrates the vulnerability is vilified while the person who describes it is ignored? Or, even worse, the organization that causes it is ignored? Why are we shooting the messenger instead of discussing the problem?"

"Whether humans are born with certain innate abilities to understand spatial relationships in the wider world is a question that has troubled thinkers at least as far back as Aristotle.

"If competition is free of political impediments, wages tend to reveal the discounted marginal value of particular labor services in the market. Indeed, competitive bidding is the only way to discover that value, which has meaning only through the market process. There is no external standard against which a market-set wage can be judged. Moreover, if the parties are (politically) free, that is, the system is void of physical force, the outcome satisfies the criteria of justice and fairness."

"Another example of the impotence of alternative parties to influence political events was my own experience with a group affiliated with the Republican Party called the Republican Liberty Caucus. ... [W]hen I became involved with them, it seemed they were more interested in destroying the Libertarian Party than they were in electing libertarians. When they found out I was a former activist in the New Jersey Libertarian Party, some of them requested that I try to persuade other libertarians to support Republican candidates. When I refused, they virtually banished me from the group. ... They wanted to make elections safe for Republicans. "
