I can’t pretend to even understand, let alone agree with, the various long term bug bears of the small Irdial group of bloggers, but fiat currency is an issue they […]

The true character of a man is revealed when he is under pressure…so they say. The riots in Paris and the demonstrations against foreign work forces being used at British oil refineries and a power station seemed to be a presentiment of widespread civil disturbance, especially in this country. We are, after all, only at […]

The Oxford Libertarian Society mailing list mentions a conference called ‘Modern Liberty’. Let’s smell it… Why? From Anthony Barnett, Phil Booth, Shami Chakrabarti, Henry Porter, Stuart Weir We are entering a dangerous period in our country. Economic turmoil threatens profound hardship and disharmony. Good. Now is the chance to put things on a better footing. […]

In the age of ‘teh inernetz’ it is always a safe bet that someone, somewhere, is thinking the same thing that you are thinking. It seems that the Lakota Sioux have taken the initiative and are starting a clean, no fractional reserve, no Federal Reserve Note bank. The word about this is spreading like wildfire; […]

Lew Rockwell has posted a simply wonderful article about ‘Joe the plumber’: Joe the Outlaw This whole campaign has been dreadfully boring, with gaffe-avoidance techniques squelching all spontaneity, and it doesn’t help that the ideological parameters of the election have been so narrowly drawn as to make any thinking person want to shut up both […]

I have had some interesting conversations over the last few weeks, all centering around the current historic economic events. Two of them are notable. The first was with a good friend to whom I gave Ron Paul’s ‘The Revolution: A Manifesto’. He said that he read it up to the point where the book supports […]

To the People of the United States of America, I am writing today because no one has asked my opinion in any poll. No candidate has sought my vote, and no lobbyist taken up my cause. It seems that of all of the “special interests” in America, mine is forgotten – unworthy of notice by […]

This is a comment on an article that appeared in The Telegraph about the highly offensive spying of Poole council on an innocent family, who were judged to be guilty before proven innocent: Just ponder for a moment. Ten short years ago, nobody in the world would have thought that the once proud British people […]

As the fiat currencies collapse, people will turn to new, unassailable currencies like the Guernsey Pound and the Totnes Pound In response to the massive interest generated by the distribution of 300 Totnes pounds Transition Town Totnes (TTT) are issuing 5000 Totnes Pounds, supported by Schumacher College and Totnes and District Chamber of Commerce. The […]

Well, the hammer has finally struck. Several months ago, I wrote a column in which I described the strategy the establishment would use to attack Ron Paul’s candidacy: The first step is already in play. The establishment will start by simply ignoring him, by using its power in the mainstream media and their influence over […]

I ride a bicycle around London, and never wear a helmet. I have never worn a helmet in my life to ride either a motorcycle or a bicycle. Free people do not wear bicycle helmets. There is a completely ’21st Century British Insanity™’ piece in today’s Times ‘Alpha Mummy’ where a shrieking, hysterical, illogical, fear […]

by Steven LaTulippe “If we have to use force, it is because we are America! We are the indispensable nation. We stand tall, and we see further into the future.” ~ Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright Can Ron Paul really win? Does he have a snowball’s chance of becoming the next president, or are […]

By Michael Hampton As you are probably aware, the greatest threat to your privacy and well-being stems from the government, whether directly or indirectly. Even the “freest” or “most democratic” governments have committed their share of atrocities, and even if you think you’re safe today, if the political winds blow in a different direction tomorrow, […]

By Jim Mullins Posted May 12 2006 We are now witnessing another fear-inducing barrage of propaganda mirroring the exaggeration and deception that led to the ongoing debacle in Iraq. This time the target is Iran, with the same underlying but unspoken rationale: continuing control of worldwide trade of oil in U.S. dollars and its production […]
