"Recognition of reality is liberating. When Jesus said, 'the Truth will set you free,' I’m not sure he was directly speaking of the governments of men. But recognizing the unreality of a once treasured concept – in our American case, a vibrant past and future republic, may in fact free us to do what we need to do. 'And what is that, exactly?' you ask. Recognize that the republic is dead, and that we owe its rotting bloated corpse no loyalty whatsoever. ... To live in an imperial world, we must first, as survivors, recognize that it is an imperial world. History is filled with imperial/totalitarian states, as global graveyards are filled with those who were too late in recognizing what had already happened."

"Charges were dropped Monday morning against a Milwaukee pizza delivery man accused of shooting two would-be robbers, and in a 10-page statement, the judge said Wisconsin's law forbidding the carriage of a concealed weapon, as it pertains to this case, was unconstitutional."

"President Ahmadinejad does not have a right to give a lecture at Columbia, and Columbia does not have a duty to let him in. Columbia does not have a right to receive our tax dollars, either, and politicians do not have a duty to subsidize it. If you're a libertarian looking for a loophole, a reason you shouldn't feel obliged to defend the event, it's not hard to find one. The First Amendment is not at issue here. But free speech is at issue, because this tempest gets to the heart of a key argument for the open marketplace of ideas: the idea that hearing what other people have to say and confronting their ideas is good, and that doing so makes us not weaker but stronger."

"We of the Agorist Action Alliance and the Alliance of the Libertarian Left today work to draw frustrated and disenfranchised freedom activists from 'left' and 'right' together into a vital anti-state, anti-war, libertarian Leftist movement."

"The police are supreme. The militarization of the police, armed now with military weapons and trained to view the general public as the enemy, against whom 'pain compliance' must be used, has placed every American at risk of personal injury and false arrest from our 'public protectors.' In 'free and democratic America,' citizens are in such great danger from police that there are websites devoted to police brutality with online forms to report the brutality."

"Back home in the land of the free, the wrong sign or t-shirt can now land you in jail. The wrong bumper sticker at a peace rally can get you a ticket. The wrong words out of your mouth can now constitute any number of serious crimes. Police brutality is now considered part of keeping us safe. And everyone is too scared to notice that anything is changing."

"'It's just [bizarre],' the Corvallis, Oregon resident said. 'How can I be charged with “unlawful assembly” when I was at an outdoor rally in a public park sponsored by someone else? I was in the Hart Senate Office Building when I heard Lieberman was supposed to speak, and I went to hear him'."

"Libertarians often lament that liberals 'stole' the term 'liberal,' which once meant 'libertarian,' and corrupted it to mean a support of the welfare state, the exact opposite of what libertarians stand for. But haven’t libertarians been doing the same thing for many years with the term 'libertarian' by promoting conservative reform plans of liberal socialist programs in the name of libertarianism? Isn’t that why there are now people saying that 'libertarian paternalism' is on the ascendancy?"

"Without Konkin’s theory of revolution, refinement of libertarian class theory (agorist class theory), and anti-political approach; the default reformist libertarian electoral approach sabotages the effort to educate people about the important theoretical insights we actually do have to offer. ... We agorists are seeking to, ultimately, bootstrap a system of non-state law and thereby destroy the State as a system of oppression."

“People arguing for the stateless society, i.e. the abolishment of the state along with whatever coercive hierarchies in society, sometimes find themselves in a position where they hesitate to use the word best describing their position: anarchism. The reason, and this is often explicitly stated, is that anarchism often makes people think of violence, terror, and destruction. Hence, using the word makes it unnecessarily difficult to argue for the ideal.”

"Anyone who says that 9-11 justified the war in Iraq is saying, in effect, that the deaths of 2,801 people (let’s round it up to 3000) justifies the killing of over a million (and here we are ignoring the deaths of US and Iraqi military and Afghan civilians and military). Let’s round that down to 1 million. That’s 3000 to 1 million or 3 to 1000 or 1 to about 333. What that means is that for each American life, we think killing 333 foreign lives is justified."

"The Principia Discordia has a fuzzy history, which is laid out in the beginning of the book. I had heard of it while the old publisher Loompanics was going out of business and dismissed it as a large tome. I kick myself now.... It also turned out to be quite short and readable, mixing humor and philosophy in a happy mix of chaotic bliss. I recommend this book for everyone who has ever heard the word 'anarchy' and thought of chaos."

"If Belgium, a model for artificial states everywhere for over 170 years, cannot stay together, what fate does that portend for the EU? Most assuredly a grim one. ... With the slow death of old identities such as British or French, communities that consider themselves distinct – Flemings, Basques, Catalans, Corsicans and Scots, to name just a few – are seeking statehood. This may not happen for a while yet, or it might happen tomorrow. It is hard to tell. But all things remaining equal, it is inevitable."

"[A] free market in money has no 'standard' forced upon it at all; I presume it will choose gold as the predominant form of money because gold is so inherently suitable for the task, but it may not. Over time, perhaps some other material will prove to be more suitable, and come to predominate. Fine by me; I trust the market first, and gold second."

"It was once considered the role of the 'joker' or 'jester,' to challenge the king – via humor – whenever his dictates began to go so far as to threaten the base of his own power. The joker’s role was to antagonize, albeit at a subdued level; to incite the king to consider less troublesome options. Through humor, contradictions were both revealed and eliminated."

"Birth is a normal life event typically requiring no medical intervention in settings where women's bodies are trusted. In the Netherlands, where 34 percent of births occur at home, UNICEF statistics show that both maternal and infant mortality rates are lower than in the U.S., where 99 percent of births occur in hospitals."

"Because an empire must, by definition, rely on coercion and murder, any given day in the rule of empire is immoral and detestable for those who genuinely value liberty and peace. But certain days are worse than others. In terms of what it bodes for our future -- and for the future of the world -- yesterday was a particularly awful day in the United States Senate, now controlled and led by the imperial Democrats. If there are any people who still believed that the Democrats would represent a fundamental shift in U.S. foreign policy, they have no reason to believe it any longer."

"Let me simplify this and not just to be rhetorical: A coup has occurred. I woke up the other day realizing, coming out of sleep, that a coup has occurred. It’s not just a question that a coup lies ahead with the next 9/11. That’s the next coup, that completes the first. The last five years have seen a steady assault on every fundamental of our Constitution, … what the rest of the world looked at for the last 200 years as a model and experiment to the rest of the world – in checks and balances, limited government, Bill of Rights, individual rights protected from majority infringement by the Congress, an independent judiciary, the possibility of impeachment."

"Like all delusional systems, this view of the United States as the guarantor of world stability and self-appointed global policeman requires those who suffer from it to ignore large portions of reality. Any sense of limits – economic, political, spiritual – is banished from the self-enclosed universe of Washington warlords, who are committed to believing that America is all-powerful and that it's just a matter of will – the will to power – exercised in the right way."

"What I think they thought was that they had a situation, along with a vulnerable patsy, out of which they could manufacture a terrorism case. After all, the rewards that were heaped on the agents, prosecutors, and institutions that brought home the so-called 'Lackawana Six sleeper cell' case — another railroad job — were witnessed by others in these agencies and noted. This made it too lucrative to pass up turning anything they could into 'terrorism'. They also had plenty of other reasons to be — and remain — hostile."

"His campaign is basically a referendum on what America wants out of its president. Do we want an executive who solves problems and tackles issues, making decisions that are grounded in reality? Or do we want a lead actor to star in a television show about a fantasy America of our own creation, an America where poverty and war and insecurity can be solved simply by keeping them off camera? ... Thompson ... might play the part of a Goldwater small-government Republican but in reality has made his living as an extravagantly paid pimp for government welfare. As a professional lobbyist in the 1980s, Thompson worked on behalf of Westinghouse, which was seeking billions in federal subsidies for nuclear power plants."

"Kristol - editor of The Weekly Standard, Fox News contributor, co-founder of the key neo-conservative group the Project For the New American Century, and current visiting professor at Harvard - is the very definition of a well-respected man about town, doing the best things so conservatively. But how respectable is Kristol, really? Anyone who pays the least attention to him soon discovers that the ruling passion of Kristol's life is to involve the United States in as many wars as possible, with as many enemies as he can find or create.

"We're going to be in Iraq for at least through the first term of the next President, and likely far beyond that – and it doesn't matter what the voters voted for, or think they voted for. That's American 'democracy' for you, a system that George W. Bush wants to export at gunpoint to the rest of the world. No wonder the rest of the world is saying 'No thanks'."

"Good government must be in harmony with each person's desire to prosper and to expand the range of choice. By emphasizing the principle of non-intervention, Lao-tzu recognized that when government leaves people alone, then, 'without being ordered to do so, people become harmonious by themselves.' He thus understood, at least implicitly, that central planning generates social disorder by destroying economic freedom. When coercion trumps consent as the chief organizing principle of society, the natural way of the Tao and its virtue (Te) will be lost."
http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=12060
"We can expect the widest diffusion of wealth in a truly free market because government wouldn't be discouraging production or granting privileges to the well-connected. Working people, who often feel they are without economic power, would have maximum bargaining clout if government kept hands off. Clout comes from having alternatives, and government intervention reduces alternatives, including self-employment options."

"[W]hat has to give is the artificial model of intellectual property that has served us so far, but may no longer be relevant. What should replace that model? I'm not sure--but I think that replacement shouldn't be dictated; it should evolve to meet new conditions. ... Technology has outstripped the old model; it's time for something new."

"By creating a pool of potential organs available first to registered organ donors, LifeSharers accomplishes two things. First, it creates an incentive for non-donors to become donors. Second, it helps registered organ donors get their fair share of organs."

"Even though there were stipulations in the Central and South Florida Project to provide water for the remaining Everglades and to protect the wildlife within, they could not have done a more thorough job of destroying the ecosystem if that had been their goal. Central planning simply cannot replace the natural cycles that occur in nature. Just as in the pricing system, there is too much information involved for a central planner to process to get the result he is looking for."
http://www.fff.org/freedom/fd0706f.asp
"As advanced as mankind's manufacturing apparatus has become, we still cannot make oil, copper, zinc, iron, lead, platinum, silver or gold. We rely on nature to provide them for us, but once they are extracted, they cannot be replenished. Without a radical breakthrough in science, monetary technology, or in human nature, these finite resources will be depleted over time. As a result, they can only increase in value -- when measured in dollars that have a potentially infinite supply. As Richard Russell puts it, the US government must 'inflate or die.' Federal debts are too big to ever be repaid, and since the government has no intention of dying, inflate it must."

"Our current road systems are like relics of the late, unlamented Soviet Union: socialist enterprises run by well-intentioned planners. Moscow citizens got relief from food lines by embracing capitalism. The market economy could similarly liberate road users from excessive congestion."

"If you think that any of this means 'Whee', then you don't know squat about economics, although you are plenty savvy for trading and speculating and working in slimy cahoots with the government and the Fed to generate short-term profits and jobs for us and all our families and friends, which is proved when one learns that 70% of all profits in the USA are made by (the bugle toots a fanfare 'ta daaaaaa!') the financial services industry!"

"Who would benefit from a war with Iran? Not the Iranian people, not the American people, not the U.S. military, not the economy. The only beneficiaries would be Israel, oil companies, and Government. ... Government will benefit, because government powers, budgets, and bureaucracies always grow in time of war and economic crisis – and there is guaranteed to be an economic crisis if we start a war with Iran. Indeed, things may get so bad that the people may clamor for a Leader to grab unprecedented dictatorial power to "protect" them from the economic instability. Presidential power will greatly expand much as it did under FDR during the Great Depression and under GWB under the War on Terror. This is what Ruling Class wants. Bigger government means they win."
http://partialobserver.com/article.cfm?id=2677
"What this really illustrates more than anything else is the true danger to our national character and basic liberties from being in a permanent state of war fighting. When we become a society that just leaps from one New Ultimate Hitler Enemy Who Must Be Destroyed to the next, we ensure that all of our political values and institutions become infected by this bloodthirsty mentality."
http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2007/09/24/ahmadinejad/index.html
"Turning our national debt over to foreign creditors may indeed be a cause for grave concern and an indicator of possible future economic collapse. But such eventualities hopefully lie some years in the future. Carpe diem, and all that. In the meantime, the top one or two percent of Americans -- including many of these same governmental players and their fellow gang members -- are amassing wealth in colossal amounts. All the rest of America, together with large parts of the world, may be going to hell. What's that to them? ... As the favored few continue to amass vast wealth, the government continues to consolidate political power to an extent that makes a future dictatorship fully realizable. They are well on the road to the achievement of wealth and power on a scale rarely if ever [equaled] in the history of civilization."

"I simply don’t see how anyone can claim to be a proponent of individual rights while advocating wars where the lives of some individuals are forcefully sacrificed for the collective good and freedom of others. "

"Intellectuals worried about inequality, the poverty of the working class, and the commercial culture created by mass production. (They didn’t seem to notice the tension between the last complaint and the first two.) Liberalism seemed inadequate to deal with such problems. When economic crisis hit—in Italy and Germany after World War I, in the United States with the Great Depression—the anti-liberals seized the opportunity, arguing that the market had failed and that the time for bold experimentation had arrived."

"One of the best parts is his overview of the history of the internationalist radical Left, and how it changed after World War I and the Bolshevik coup d’etat. The old Old Left, pre-1917, was essentially anarchist, and powerful and numerous to a degree that may seem surprising today. Marxist-Leninism came to the forefront only later, in the wake of a world war."

"[I]t was in the Schenck decision that Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes made his famous statement that '[t]he most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theater.' Great line, but Holmes never connected it with the case at hand. Schenck was arguing against the military draft on the grounds that it violated the Thirteenth Amendment by imposing involuntary servitude. Holmes never said how that was like falsely crying fire. It seems to me that the fire was quite real."

"The on-stage persona Bip was born in 1947, a sad-faced double whose eyes lit up with childlike wonder as he discovered the world. Bip was a direct descendant of the 19th century harlequin, but his clownish gestures, Marceau said, were inspired in part by Chaplin and Keaton."

" The American people, for the most part, want to bring the troops home. The government, however, wants to keep many of the troops in Iraq forever. To resolve this political conflict between the people and their leaders, government officials seek to draw a parallel between it and a previous, similar, political conflict that was resolved by the public's acquiescence in the government's plan."

"What is particularly galling is to witness the sad spectacle of a university president being used by this administration to stage its carefully choreographed pro-war morality play.

"The book by which John Brunner is best remembered is 'The Shockwave Rider', published in 1975. It's often called the first cyberpunk novel, and deservedly so. An Internet-like continental data network is a vital element in the book, and important plot events take place on it. ... The netted world of 'Shockwave Rider' is very much our own world of government and business databases--Brunner wasn't predicting, as much as he was warning us about the present."

"At age 69, Ridley Scott is finally satisfied with his most challenging film. ... But he seems ready to accept Blade Runner as his crowning achievement. In his northern English accent, he describes its genesis and lasting influence. And, inevitably, he returns to the darkness that pervades his view of the future — the shadows that shield Deckard from a reality that may be too disturbing to face."

"A dystopia is a fictional society that is the antithesis or complete opposite of a utopia, an ideal world with a perfect social, political and technological infrastructure. A world without chaos, strife or hunger. A world where the individual potential and freedom is celebrated and brought to the forefront. In contrast, the dystopian world is undesirable with poverty and unequal domination by specific individuals over others. Dystopian films often construct a fictional universe and set it in a background which features scenarios such as dehumanizing technological advancements, man-made disasters or class-based revolutions."

"Don’t take stupid risks without considering the consequences or the idea that you might be wrong, but also don’t let the knowledge that you can’t know for certain beforehand how something will work out cause you to be too afraid to do anything. Figure out what you want, calmly weigh the risks vs. the rewards, and consider the idea that you might be wrong and that you can’t see everything. Then, if you still feel that the rewards outweigh the risks, and you feel you’re as prepared for uncertain outcomes as you reasonably can be, then take action!"

"If there is any political system that makes room for our innumerable moral responsibilities in life, it is the Lockean individualist kind because only in such a system are citizens free to make the choice to do the right thing. Of course, this also means they are free to choose badly, but that is part of the human condition. We have free will and to exercise it involves the risk that we may not do so properly. But to substitute the government, whether representative or dictatorial, for the citizen’s own moral conscience or lack thereof is antithetical to a civilized human community."

"It would appear that people in developing countries suddenly learned how to make babies in 1950. The fact is, however, that the number of births per woman in developing countries is declining and is currently half of what is was in 1950. There is a very good reason for the increased rate of growth while birth rates halved, though you won't hear much about it on the news. As one UN consultant is quoted as saying, 'It's not that people suddenly started breeding like rabbits; it's just that they stopped dropping like flies'."

"The problem is that the same entity – the U.S. Government – plays the roles of economic advocate, judge and jury. The counterfeiter who owns the printing press (and can thus depreciate the currency at will) also arrogates to itself the measurement of economic growth. The heart of the problem, of course, is that the state collects economic statistics. ... The world’s greatest military power is also its greatest debtor. Will it use its military might to redress its financial weakness? To intimidate its lenders and repudiate its debts? Perhaps it’s just a coincidence that the U.S. Government becomes most aggressive when countries (such as Iraq in 1989-90 and Iran since 2004) consider the use of a currency other than the $US to transact petroleum exports...."

"We've heard from OEMs that they have not been anxious to stop selling XP at a date predetermined by Microsoft, and they've told the software giant as much. Instead, they would like to see market demand drive decisions on when to stop selling Windows XP. If Microsoft is feeling pressure to make up for lost time from Vista's long development process by putting an end to sales of Windows XP, the OEMs want no part of it. One other thing working against XP's demise is the poor reputation—deserved or not—that Vista has begun to acquire."
