War Is Gay

This is how libertarians running for political office will get recognized–by in your face mockery and humor! Don’t waste your time trying to imitate the Democrat or Republican candidates. You have to differentiate yourself in a way that can go viral. As much as I love the Mises Institute and strongly support their message and […]

Exposing Some Myths About the Ukraine War

by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr. via LewRockwell.com All rational Americans agree that we shouldn’t get involved in the Russia-Ukraine War. The neocon warmongers with brain dead Biden as their figurehead want to destroy Russia, and they are willing to risk nuclear war to do it.  But this doesn’t negate what I’ve just said. These monsters […]

Phase 2 of The Great Reset: War

by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE We’re being hit with one crisis after another, but there’s nothing “organic” or natural about these crises. They seem manufactured and intentional because they all strengthen, support and further the technocratic plan for a Great Reset Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has relaxed its hate speech […]

A Manufactured World Crisis

by Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr. via Mises.org Few people today ask the most important question about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Many people want America to stay out of the fight, but even they don’t ask the vital question. Why does the world face a crisis today? Why has a border dispute between Russia […]

We Must Now Learn the Lesson of 1914, Not the Lesson of 1938

by Ryan McMaken via Mises.org With proponents of military intervention and war, it’s always 1938, and every attempt to substitute diplomacy for escalation and war is “appeasement.”  Last week, for example, Ukrainian legislator Lesia Vasylenko accused Western leaders of appeasement during Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, stating, “This is the same as 1938 when also the world and […]

Much Wants More and Loses All

via GEFIRA.org The collective post-West has been running amok for the last two weeks. The powers that be make believe that they did not expect that events would unfold the way they are unfolding now (though they did their best to make things happen as they are happening) and they make a show imposing sanctions […]

Stop the Crazy War in Ukraine

by Eric Margolis via Ron Paul Institute The brazenly biased western media is giving us the impression that the Ukraine fighting is some sort of sports competition. Russia’s media, now shamefully silenced in the west by the banning of Russia Today and Sputnik News, portrays the so far modest war in Ukraine as a renewed […]

How Solid Are US War Guarantees?

by Pat Buchanan via Buchanan.org When several NATO nations revealed that they had dozens of Russian-made MiG-29s, the idea arose to fly them to Ukraine and turn them over to Ukrainian pilots familiar with the MiGs. America would provide F-16s to replace the MiGs. Poland had an even better idea. Warsaw would fly its 27 […]

Paul Craig Roberts: Ukrainian Update #5

by Paul Craig Roberts via Institute for Political Economy This morning I am going to play Armchair General.  I will say upfront that I have little doubt, unless the Kremlin changes its mind, the Russian military operation in Ukraine will be successful, but not the success it could have been.  I also admit upfront that whereas I […]

Is a Russia-NATO Clash Over Ukraine Ahead?

by Patrick J. Buchanan via Buchanan.org Ukraine’s independence is not vital to the United States. While a desirable goal, it is not worth our fighting a war with Russia to preserve…. Indeed, had we given Putin assurances that NATO was closed to Kyiv, we might have prevented what has happened, because that was the first […]

Keep US Out of War

by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr. via LewRockwell.com Events in Ukraine are happening very fast, and if I tried to predict what will happen there, my prediction would soon be overtaken by events. But one thing is certain. We need to understand the background of the crisis, and we also need to remember the basic principles […]

Paul Craig Roberts: Ukraine Update #2

by Paul Craig Roberts via Institute for Political Economy The function of the Western media is to turn fiction into fact and lie into truth. Once the narrative is established, it is repeated endlessly.  I worked hard yesterday to give my readers a true account of the situation.  Today I will update the military situation […]

Ukraine: The Propaganda Wars

by Daniel McAdams via Ron Paul Institute The media and the war machine (or do I repeat myself?) want us to take sides in the Russo/Ukraine war. To those of us with long histories in military conflicts in which the US foreign policy establishment, media, and military have an interest, the terms are always framed […]

War as Spoliation

by Claude Frédéric Bastiat via Mises Institute A man (and the same thing may be said of a people) may pro­cure the means of existence in two ways,—by creating them, or by stealing them. Each of these two great sources of acquisition presents a variety of methods. We may create the means of existence by […]

It Takes A Touch Of Madness

Listen to a reading of this article ❖ It takes a touch of madness to take seriously the possibility that your entire society is insane. That’s why devoted critics of the oligarchic empire are often a bit odd; something in them was driven to wade into waters that most people aren’t psychologically prepared to enter. […]
