Top Democrats Propose Bribe to Quell Muslim World
"Top Democrats Propose Bribe to Quell Muslim World The Democrats still don't get it. Muslim militants openly declared war on the world not because they are economically disadvantaged or societal outcasts, but because they are determined to topple capitalism and communism and create a global society based on Islam. Their society would be based on a militant form of government much like the Taliban - a world in which women have absolutely no rights. Ironically, many of the crowd that is supporting their cause with their checkbooks are women who would suffer immediately should the Islamists succeed."read now
Land of the Serf by Joseph Sobran
To many Americans, fighting for the U.S. Government means fighting for “America,” and America, no matter how tyrannous its government becomes, always remains, in their minds, a synonym for freedom. Some of these people may even hate what the government has done to this country, yet they are always eager to support it when it goes to war — even when war means new restrictions on freedom at home.

“The charge of ‘obstruction of governmental administration’ was resurrected to prosecute protesters as criminals under Mayor Giuliani,” said defendant Ora Wise. “It was part of an overt campaign to silence protest.”
Empire of Dirt by Bill Bonner
"What I don't understand," Elizabeth began a conversation on our last day in Rome, "is why the barbarians – the Huns, the Goths, the Vandals and so forth, wanted to destroy the empire? They could see that people lived better inside the empire than outside...I mean, they had central heating, warm baths, art...and just look at all those beautiful buildings. Wouldn't it have made more sense for them to join it, rather than tear it down?"

Patriot Act Enhancement Provides Death Penalty For Any Federal Crime Punishable By Over One Year In Jail
The proposed legislation would do two things. First, it would make 23 crimes eligible for the death penalty. Second, it would create an unprecedented "catch-all" death penalty for any other federal crime punishable by more than a year in prison if it meets the PATRIOT Act's overbroad definition of terrorism and results in death.

Churchill for dummies by Michael Lind
Citing Churchill to support Bush’s war to rid Iraq of alleged weapons of mass destruction was particularly ironic in light of Churchill’s own record with respect to WMDs in Iraq. As colonial secretary in 1919, Churchill wanted to use gas against the ‘unco-operative Arabs’ in Iraq. He explained, in terms that Saddam might have used to justify his gassing of Iraqi Kurds, ‘I do not understand the squeamishness about the use of gas. I am strongly in favour of using poison gas against uncivilised tribes.’
The Racist Roots of Gun Control by Clayton E. Cramer
The historical record provides compelling evidence that racism underlies gun control laws -- and not in any subtle way.

Government: An Inevitable and Constant Threat by Robert Davison Wolf
If government is inevitable, we need a good one and more importantly a way to limit it. Once you have planted the vine of governance, there is only one way to control it, issue every citizen a metaphorical axe with which to hack away at it periodically.
New Evidence Indicates FBI’s Complicity in Waco Massacre by Pat Shannan
More than 10 years after a raid by federal agents went horribly wrong at the Branch Davidian church near Waco, Tex., a Tucson lawyer says he has evidence in his possession that implicates law enforcement personnel in the deaths of 80 men, women and children following a 52-day standoff of their compound.
The Limits Of Libertarianism: Southern California’s Catastrophe by Steve Sailer
The lesson for the GOP is sobering. If it won't fight to enforce immigration laws on the national level, citizens will try to parry the effects at the local level.

On The Verge Of Extinction by David R. Hoffman
The corporate-controlled media basically became a jingoistic cheerleader for the lies of the Bush dictatorship.

Ideological Hegemony: Thought Control in American Society
Certain fundamental principles are never questioned - capitalism, private property, the state, imperialism and other assumptions . . . Thought is bounded, with liberalism on one end, conservativism on the other end and various other ideologies in-between (I count libertarian capitalism as being within this spectrum). The legitimacy of private property, the state, etc. is always assumed.
Will the Draft Become the Most Important Issue in 2005? by Dr. David Alan Black
Dr. David Black of Dave Black On-Line and Southeastern Seminary in Wake Forest joins Lutheran pastor Mark Dankof in affirming the Constitution Party's stance against a compulsory draft and the ominous bills in Congress that suggest a renewal of general conscription after the fall elections. It will be up to Presidential candidate Michael Peroutka to press the anti-war, anti-draft case from a Biblical, Constitutional perspective on the Right.
Announcing Unity Review—A 2004 VDARE.COM Anthology
The Unity Review is intended both as a hard-copy resource and a sample of VDARE.COM’s unique contributions to a debate that inexorably gathering force—both because of President Bush’s stunningly radical amnesty/ guest worker proposal and because of the relentless pressure of demographics.

Mark Dankof's Night Thoughts on Good Friday
Evangelical Lutheran pastor and paleo-con Mark Dankof pens night thoughts on Good Friday to the Real American Right about War, Empire, and the Draft, asking the historic American Right to recover its heritage and historical memory on all three--by opposing George Bush, the Neo-Cons, and the Republican Party on all three counts.
Open Letter To Liberals Favoring Gun Confiscation by Liz Michael
In most conflicts, that when the "gunphobics" decide to square off against the "gun lovers," the gun lovers almost always win. To beat us, you have to become just like us. Ultimately, to successfully disarm us, you will have to pick up a gun and make it so. Or hire someone and pay them to do the same.

American Heritage: God Is Not Optional by Paul M. Weyrich
If there is one wish that I have, and I suspect many other Americans would share, is that the AHG will no longer come to be viewed as an "alternative" organization but becomes the organization in a country that has regained its moral bearings and, therefore, many, many more parents will want their daughters to join.

"Comfortable" War Propaganda by William Marvel
The truly amazing thing about Americans is that they still fall for it every time. Yet who can blame them? In yesteryear it was the establishment-owned newspapers that predigested our history for us as it happened, feeding us bland paste in lieu of truth. Their successors, the television networks owned by the corporations that own our government, mold our minds much more effectively. Through the medium of a mesmerizing screen they can much more easily persuade us to believe the phalanx of expensively clad liars who sanitize the theft of a presidential election, or disguise the real motives behind the latest war of the rich against the poor.
France Invades U.S. by Jerry Ghinelli
Declaring the US "a rogue nation in violation of international law and in defiance of UN resolution 1441," France launched a major ground offensive to overturn what they called "the illegitimate regime of George W. Bush."

Ananlysis of Current Situation In Iraq
The attached report ( Which The Agonist is trying to acquire. ed. )summarizes the potential threat of popular disaffection from the fighting, and the risks the US and its allies run in executing even the most successful military operations. It shows that there are a large number of potential Iraqi opponents of the Coalition nation building program that may - or may not - be catalyzed by the fighting.
Database search system debated by DAVID PATCH
MATRIX effectively is "an advanced surveillance system" designed not only to "build dossiers on all of our lives," but also to allow rapid mathematical searches for supposed irregular patterns that might identify troublemakers, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.
American Police State Goes Into High Gear
The past few weeks have seen an explosion of police state measures and bombshell attacks on the God-given freedoms of American citizens. It is vital that we communicate these abuses to the wider public and attempt to redress this disgusting attack on the bill of rights.

A 'social obligation' to give our money to criminals?
The notion that the government is doing us a favor by looting as much as they deem necessary from our paychecks to feed, clothe and school the children of the drunken, the dissolute, the shiftless, the illegitimate and the criminal -- spreading the wealth of the nation as evenly as possible, like spreading manure on a field -- has a name. It's called "socialism." Or, in less euphemistic parlance, "communism."

One Nation, Underperforming

An Evening With Dr. Ron Paul by Steven Yates
The bottom line, for Dr. Paul, is the U.S. Constitution. He refuses to vote for any piece of legislation that is not explicitly authorized by the Constitution, and his stinging critiques of much of the unconstitutional legislation coming out of Rome on the Potomac.

FBI Targets 'Right Wing' by Kelly Patricia O Meara
Project Megiddo specifically identifies, but is not limited to, the followers of the Christian Identity movement and Odinism, white-supremacy groups, militias, the Black Hebrew Israelites and apocalyptic cults - all presented as potential terrorists. "The bottom line," Trochmann concludes, "is that this report smells of the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center. It smells like the FBI might be up for more funding."
Principles of Tyranny & the 'Rooster Syndrome'
"arises from the tendency of people guided more by hope or fear than intelligence to overestimate the power of their leaders and attribute to them outcomes, either good or bad, to which the leaders contributed little if anything, and perhaps even acted to prevent or reduce".
Fourth Amendment Takes a Mortal Blow by Bob Barr
In a judicial version of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has blasted a huge hole in the Fourth Amendment. If the Supreme Court fails to repair it, the Bill of Rights will topple as surely as did the Twin Towers 2 1/2 years ago.

The Social Contract Is Null and Void by Anthony Gregory
The law itself is not sacred. How could it be, when the government courts have ruled in favor of warrantless searches and against the Fourth Amendment, which is supposedly a part of the “Supreme Law of the Land.”
CONCEALED CARRY IS LAW
The Ohio General Assembly passed a revised House Bill 12 on January 7, and the following day, Governor Taft signed the Act. The law goes into effect April 7.

America no longer white, united, English-speaking by Pat Buchanan
Most Americans want immigration cut back and all illegal aliens sent back. Why is the will of the majority, expressed in polls and referenda, not reflected in law or policy? Because we no longer live in a democratic republic; we are ruled by a managerial elite.

Passion for the Truth by James Ostrowski
"What is Truth? said jesting Pilate." Not what many reviews say about The Passion of the Christ.

Americans Need To Read Washington's Farewell Address by Chuck Baldwin
A careful reading of Washington's warning should convince anyone of its merits, because virtually everything he warned against has come to pass. The two major parties have become an end and aim of themselves, and people blindly loyal to them tend to constantly compromise the principles of liberty in order to obtain victory for the party.

One billion people to get biometrics and RFID tracking by 2015
Civil liberties groups from both sides of the Atlantic have joined forces to oppose the proposed introduction and cross-border sharing of biometrics and RFID in more than one billion passports worldwide.
''The greatest danger to democracy is … democracy!'' by Raff Ellis
Democracy, it seems, is not for export from the Great Powers, only for exploitation.
Supermarket's Futuristic Outlet
Probably the most talked-about technical novelty of the store is its use of radio-frequency identification (RFID) tagging. Privacy advocates, such as Consumers Against Super-market Privacy Invasion and Numbering, worry that the technology could create an Orwellian world in which salesclerks or, worse, law enforcement officials, could read the contents of a handbag with the wave of a wand.
