Terrorizing the Bill of Rights,by Nat Hentoff | | Congress has overwhelmingly passed, and the president has enthusiastically signed, an anti-terrorism bill that, as the ACLU says, gives "enormous, unwarranted power to the executive branch unchecked by meaningful judicial review." Moreover, "most of the new powers could be used against American citizens in counterterrorism investigations and in routine criminal investigations completely unrelated to terrorism." (Emphasis added.) Also likely to be subject to this law: "those whose First Amendment activities are deemed to be threats to national security by the attorney general." [more] |
The New Power Politics,by Martin Walker | | As the American and Russian presidents headed to George Bush's Texas ranch after agreeing to slash their nuclear arsenals by two-thirds, a new kind of Cold War emerged 7,000 miles away. No, not in Afghanistan, where one bunch of thugs looked to be replacing another bunch of thugs to rule over the rubble of Kabul.But by the startlingly blue waters of the Persian Gulf, where the oil tankers pass by like commuter cars in a big city rush hour, an ominous new contour of the world that lies ahead began to emerge.[more] |
Bush’s war at home: a creeping coup d’état,by the WSWS Editorial Board | | In the period since the September 11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, the United States has undergone a radical transformation in the structure of the government, in the relationship between the people and the police and armed forces, and in the legal and constitutional framework.[more] |
Thank You, Franklin Delano Bush,by Karen De Coster | | I took the liberty (what few of those I have left) of putting President Bush's November 8 speech - at the Georgia World Congress Center - into the LewRockwell.com "truth translator". This fun, little tool examines and interprets the rhetoric of government spokespersons, and translates such twaddle into the statist prose that it actually represents. What emerges from the translator in this instance is an incriminating verbal assault on the sovereignty of all Americans. [more] |
"We Are Going to Conquer America", by Daniel Pipes | | Muslims make an incredibly valuable contribution to our country," said President Bush shortly after September 11, noting that they are "doctors, lawyers, law professors, members of the military, entrepreneurs, shopkeepers, moms and dads." He later added that "there are millions of good Americans who practice the Muslim faith who love their country as much as I love the country, who salute the flag as strongly as I salute the flag." [more] |
Smedley Butler on Interventionism,Excerpt from a speech delivered in 1933, by Major General Smedley Butler, USMC. | | War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses. [more] |
Will free trade ruin America, too?,by Pat Buchanan | | In "The Collapse of British Power," historian Corelli Barnett savages the men and dogmas that brought his nation down. In 1914, he writes, Britons believed theirs was the most powerful, productive, self-sufficient nation on earth.[more] |
'A Sense of Awe for the Sacrifice He Made',by Joan Nagy | | Since I first wrote this veteran’s story, last Memorial Day, the unthinkable horror of Sept. 11 has changed the way we define a war veteran, because on that day all Americans became war veterans. [more] |
The Coming Apocalypse in Central Asiaby Geov Parrish | | Does anybody in this country get it? Does anybody understand what the United States is on the verge of doing?[more] |
Police State, by Kelly Patricia O’Meara | | If the United States is at war against terrorism to preserve freedom, a new coalition of conservatives and liberals is asking, why is it doing so by wholesale abrogation of civil liberties? [more] |
On the meaning of freedom, by Robert Lyman | | Recently, Keepandbeararms.com posted an article about the Emerson decisionto its Newslinks section. The article was written by a pair ofIndian-Americans (that is, the descendents of immigrants from India) andargued, in essence, that the Fifth Circuit had reached the correctconclusion in the Emerson case, but for the wrong reasons.[more] |
Clinton blames Americaby Joseph Farah | | Why was the World Trade Center destroyed by kamikaze-style Islamic terrorist airline hijackers? Why did 5,000 Americans perish Sept. 11? Why was the Pentagon attacked? To hear former President Bill Clinton explain it, the United States of America is "paying a price today" for its past sins of slavery and for looking "the other way when a significant number of native Americans were dispossessed and killed." [more] |
Help Kill America, Buy Chinese Goodsby Dr. Alexandr Nemets and Dr. Thomas Torda | | The authors have learned that, in September-October 2001, almost all federal money that had been assigned for studies of China's growing military potential and People's Liberation Army (PLA) modernization - as well as research on Sino-Russian military and defense-technological cooperation - was switched to financing the Afghan campaign. This is probably the worst loss America suffered in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 strikes, and even the terrorists could not have dreamed of such a success: The nation is blind and totally unprepared for a new, much more terrible strike.[more] |
The media and the terrorists,by Thomas Sowell | | The media seem to be doing a major part of the terrorists' work for them. What is the point of terrorism, after all? To get the most bang for the buck from the limited resources at the terrorists' disposal[more] |
Why America cannot win the war on terrorism, by Ronen Nakash | | If the U.S. government had a principled opposition to terrorism, it would not have waited for the September 11 slaughter to declare war on terrorists and those who harbor them. Muslim terrorists murdered at least 530 Americans and injured many more between October 1983 and October 2000. These murders combined with countless explicit threats and expressions of intent to harmAmericans should have long been considered sufficient cause to take action. [more] |
Why Arab/Muslim anti-Semites are worse than the Nazis, by Dennis Prager | | WITH all the attention paid to how Muslims and Arabs in America feel about the Islamic terrorists' attacks on America, it may come as somewhat of surprise to learn about another anxious group of Americans - Jews. [more] |
Let's have a 'sensitive' war, by John Leo | | By late 1942, after Adolf Hitler had invaded most of the nations of Europe, relentlessly bombed England and declared war on the United States, the vexing question naturally arose: What's better, to fight back or to sit down and study the root causes of Germany's behavior?[more] |
Armed Against Terrorism, by George F. Will | | Attempts to use Sept. 11 events to impart momentum to pre-Sept. 11 agendas are mostly comic, such as the Farm Security Act, the title of which suggests what a supporter of the bill proclaims -- that the bill's agricultural subsidies and other stuff will strengthen "national security." But no attempt is more peculiar than that of advocates of ever-stricter gun controls.[more] |
Nader Says Corporate Power Grabs Followed Sept. 11 from Reuters | | Consumer advocate Ralph Nader said on Monday the United States was ``ripe for a revolt'' against what he called corporate power grabs following the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.[more] |
American Fascism Revisited, by Russell Madden | | Nearly forty years ago, in 1962, Ayn Rand delivered a speech at the Ford Hall Forum entitled, "The Fascist New Frontier." Her speech harshly criticized the administration of John F. Kennedy for its violation of rights.[more] |
U.S. Surrenders to Terrorists, by Michael S. Hyatt | | The terrorists won a major victory last week. This time the blow wasn't physical. It didn't result in the loss of life or property. The victory was philosophical. The terrorists struck a blow at the Constitution and were successfully able to alter our way of life. The sad part is that our elected officials unwittingly assisted them.[more] |
My Flying Experience, by James R. Davis | | While in the long line (20 minutes) watching the inspection of laptops (careful those square things with keys on a keyboard might be a b-o-m-b...). Mothers with children "Ma'am is that your stroller??, You'll have to have it searched" This wasn't one of those "portable houses on4 wheels strollers", this was a $10 cheap and easy special, 2 lb. compact that was now a liability to this mother of 2.[more] |
What good can a handgun do against an army, by Mike Vanderboegh | | A friend of mine recently forwarded me a question a friend of his had posed: "If/when our Federal Government comes to pilfer, pillage, plunder our property and destroy our lives, what good can a handgun do against an army with advanced weaponry, tanks, missiles, planes, or whatever else they might have at their disposal to achieve their nefarious goals? [more] |
A True Patriot Can Pose Hard Questions, by Robert Scheer | | War skeptics such as Richard Gere, Susan Sontag, Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Oakland), Bill Maher and the Berkeley City Council should be congratulated, not vilified, for daring to demur, ever so slightly, from government propaganda. Right or wrong, they have acted as free people in a free society who understand that if our course is correct, it can survive criticism. And if it is not, it is all the more important that we gather the courage to state that criticism clearly and in a timely fashion. [more] |
A Sad State of Affairs, by Ron Paul (in the House of Representatives - October 25, 2001) | | Mr. Speaker, it breaks my heart to see what is happening to our country today. All Americans have grieved over the losses suffered on 9-11. The grief for those who lost loved ones is beyond description. These losses have precipitated unprecedented giving to help the families left behind. Unless one has suffered directly, it is difficult to fully comprehend the tragic and sudden loss of close friends and family. There are some who, in addition to feeling this huge sense of personal loss that all Americans share, grieve for other serious and profound reasons.[more] |
Drivers Rally for the Green Flag, by Noah Shachtman | | Environmentally friendly automobiles from around the world are set to compete in one of the largest demonstrations ever of what green cars and trucks can do. [more] |
Tracking down the enemy within, by Pat Buchanan | | On June 13, 1942, eight trained saboteurs paddled ashore on rafts from Nazi submarines in Florida and Long Island. Carrying fake IDs, explosives and $175,000 in cash, Hitler's agents had come on a mission: Blend into American society and blow up U.S. factories. [more] |
You Want to Mesh with Uncle Sham?, by John-Paul Leonard | | Anyone in the mood for another conspiracy theory? Would you believe... The Pentagon used its weather weapon to create the Afghan drought? Background: Between 1994 and 1996, the Taliban picked up the broken pieces of Afghanistan left behind by Soviet troops, in a vacuum left behind by a victory of American covert policy.[more] |
Suicidal Fool Who Has No Respect for Christians Writes to JPFO. [He needs to read Death by 'Gun Control'] | | Imagine my surprise when I happened upon your site. Given the Jewish tradition of education and debate I couldn't have been more shocked to find the same goyim rhetoric and flawed syllogisms usually representative of less scholarly groups.[more] |
How Could This Happen?, by Col. Harry S. Bachstein | | Have you wondered why our security system failed on 11 Sep 2001? &nsp; Have you thought that there must have been some sort of warning that we failed to heed? During the Clinton administration, we sat back and did nothing as terrorists attacked us again and again, killing and wounding Americans. [more] |
A Right of the People: The meaning of the Emerson decision, by David Kopel | | Last week, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit released a decision that, in ordinary times, would have gotten a lot of attention. The decision, United States v. Emerson, recognized that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees individual citizens a right to own guns. [more] |
The Right to Bear Arms, by Larry R. Rankin | | The threat to legitimate gun ownership is getting very serious. Evidence is mounting each day that major media and politicians are conspiring to orchestrate a campaign to prepare American law-abiding citizens for the repeal of the Second Amendment.[more] |
5,000 Murdered Americans is not a "Tragedy," It is War, by Jim Houck | | When mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters leap from windows 100 stories in the sky in downtown New York City to escape bone-boiling heat created by burning jet fuel from hijacked commercial airliners, when we see hundreds of firefighters lying dead in rubble, their motion sensors activated, sensors that emit a thousand queer electronic beckoning beeps, a symphony of the dead, when we see a crushed New York City police car lifted by a forklift and blood pours out of the back doors, indicating that the officers are still inside, it is not a "tragedy". It is war. [more] |
Kill political correctness first, this is war, by Jim Houck | | The first terrorist that needs to die in this war is political correctness. Might I be the first to say, go to hell, to anyone who is offended by my patriotism or my rage. You do not deal with men who commit suicide in order to kill civilians.[more] |
Don’t be a Jihad Joe This article will tell you how to keep freedom alive in America. WARNING: This is not for the timid. | | It's a safe bet that most of the people reading this alert aren't high government officials or corporate mega-barons. Unlike Attorney General John Ashcroft, Senate Majority Leader Tom Dashle or Larry Ellison ("Mr. National ID"), CEO of the giant database company Oracle, you won't be responsible for creating the laws, regulations, and technologies that are rapidly being used to turn the U.S. into a police state under the false claim that mass surveillance of citizens and uncontrolled searches are the best means to "combat terrorism." [more] |
The American Lenin, by L. Neil Smith | | It's harder and harder these days to tell a liberal from a conservative -- given the former category's increasingly blatant hostility toward the First Amendment, and the latter's prissy new disdain for the Second Amendment -- but it's still easy to tell a liberal from a libertarian. Just ask about either Amendment. If what you get back is a spirited defense of the ideas of this country's Founding Fathers, what you've got is a libertarian. By shameful default, libertarians have become America's last and only reliable stewards of the Bill of Rights. But if -- and this usually seems a bit more difficult to most people -- you'd like to know whether an individual is a libertarian or a conservative, ask about Abraham Lincoln. [more] |
Nation of Cowards, by Jeffrey Snyder | | Our society has reached a pinnacle of self-expression and respect for individuality rare or unmatched in history. Our entire popular culture -- from fashion magazines to the cinema -- positively screams the matchless worth of the individual, and glories in eccentricity, nonconformity, independent judgment, and self-determination. [more] |
Civil Disobedience, by Henry David Thoreau | | I heartily accept the motto, "That government is best which governs least"; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe--"That government is best which governs not at all"; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which the will have. Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. [more] |
Are Law-Abiding People Being Fooled, by Rabbi R. Mermelstein | | California is Going Down the Tubes -- What Are We Going to Do About It? It should come as no surprise to anyone when I say that nearly all bad laws in general and anti-gun laws in particular are hatched in the Golden State.[more] |
Do Jewish "leaders" want us all to be victims?, by Aaron Zelman | | Are self-anointed Jewish political "leaders" trying to turn America into the kind of hell from which our people have repeatedly been forced to escape for the last two millennia? Are they going out of their way to prove the truth of the old Yiddish adage, "Our own Jews will destroy us"? And do they aim -- through ignorance or ambition -- to destroy this nation not only for Jews, but for the other 97 percent ofAmericans, as well? Yes. If they have their way, they will.[more] |
The Real Violent History of Islam, by Michael Lamb | | The United States of America is about to enter a war it does not either A) understand; or B) accept the scope of, or C) both. Everyone is preaching tolerance while the real evil goes unabated. I don't advocate violence, but I don't tolerate it either! If I have to fight, I fight, and I fight to win! I ask for no quarters and I give none. Does that sound like Islam to you? Well that is their intent! Only ONE side can win according to Islam. There can be only one religion in the end according to Islam. [more] |
Why America Has Already Lost the War, by Moshe Feiglin | | Last Thursday I realized that America had already lost the war. I came to the US for four days for a meeting that was to have been held in Manhattan on Tuesday evening, September 11. The meeting didn't take place - no one could get in or out of the great city. I'm not sure if all those invited to the meeting are still alive. There were no flights back home, and all that remained to do was to listen to the reports and hope for a place on the first flight returning to Israel.[more] |
America's Last Taboo,by Edward W. Said [An opposing point of view to Feiglin] | | The events of the past weeks in Palestine have been a near-total triumph for Zionism in the United States. Political and public discourse has so definitively transformed Israel into the victim during the recent clashes that, even though over 200 Palestinian lives were lost and 6,000 casualties have been reported, there is unanimity that 'Palestinian violence' has disrupted the smooth and orderly flow of the 'peace process'. There is now a small litany of phrases that every editorial commentator either repeats verbatim or relies on as an unspoken assumption: these have been engraved in ears, minds and memories as a guide for the perplexed.[more] |
