This article is based on chapter 8 of my book Do Not Consent: Think OUTSIDE the Voting Booth, 2020 If someone asked you to define “free market,” could you?  Could you do it on the spot without recourse to dictionaries or other crutches? The term “laissez-faire economy” might do as a first response.  But what does it mean?  In Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal Ayn Rand explains: Based on a column in the Los Angeles Times, August 1962. Colbert, chief adviser of Louis XIV, was one of the early modern statists. He believed that government regulations can create national prosperity and…

US Institute of Peace officially renamed for Trump as White House moves to dismantle agency: ‘Congratulations’ White House calls former institute ‘bloated, useless entity that blew $50 million per year’ Since 2016, I have been composing and posting articles at LRC concerning “the strategy of tension” used by the deep state in fomenting chaos and disruption in American cities. Cyber-analyst Mike Benz has finally tracked down and pin-pointed the source of the subversion – the US Institute of Peace.

Shouldn't punishment be part of any prison sentence?

Good news for the Trump team, but there are things that will give them pause.

Trump’s cabinet meetings are a rare display of political excellence.

Here’s where we stand, like it or not.

The meeting between President Trump and Zohran Mamdani revealed truly how thoroughly Trump runs the game.

The Democrats nominated their “AOC of Tennessee”, or exactly the wrong profile for such a district.

If they knew what was good for them, New Yorkers would reject these legislative suggestions and send Mamdani back to the drawing board.

Nothing says “hope and change” quite like bulldozing a beloved public park for a 235-foot phallic tower dedicated to oneself.

Do Christians embrace God's Word or man's depravity?

Hells has frozen over and pigs are flying.

James’ political overreach has been stopped cold, and it couldn’t happen to a worse person.

The less popular parts of police work are nonetheless necessay to maintain public safety.

If we want to fix health insurance in this country, let’s keep our eye on the ball.

Nothing says “global warming” quite like shoveling heavy, wet snow in the wee hours of a subfreezing morning three weeks before the winter solstice officially begins.

It's funny how much of the Democrat modus operandi resembles that of scam artists.

The only outcome of immigration should be citizenship.

Maybe she should look in the mirror.

Give me the pro-lifer, I’ll find you the crime.

There are still 20,000 Delphi workers who didn't get theirs, either.

As it is becoming obvious that Ukraine is losing in the proxy war against Russia, the ideas European governments are are throwing around are getting more crazy. Some are now eager to ‘pre-emptively’ attack Russia in ‘retaliation’ for alleged ‘hybrid attacks’ against European countries. Those ‘hybrid attacks’ are mostly pure fantasies. Politico was first to report this nonsense: Europe thinks the unthinkable: Retaliating against Russia – Politico, Nov 27 2025 Countries are looking at joint offensive cyber operations and surprise military drills as Moscow steps up its campaign to destabilize NATO allies. Russia’s drones and agents are unleashing attacks across NATO countries and…

Malcolm Muggeridge was a talented journalist who lived in Moscow in 1933, working for the Manchester Guardian. Though attracted to communism in his youth, the experience of being in Stalin’s Russia and observing what was going on caused him to become disillusioned. Especially disturbing was his realization that Stalin’s army and police were—as part of their collectivization program—starving millions of landowning peasants (known as kulaks) by confiscating their grain. A large and productive number of kulaks possessed farms in Ukraine, which has some of the richest soil in the world. This massive organized crime—known as the Holodomor—resulted in the deaths of…

Just as the news breaks that Trump has issued Maduro an ultimatum to leave Venezuela immediately if he wants to escape with his life, the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal has published an amazingly brazen war propaganda piece titled “How Venezuelan Gangs and African Jihadists Are Flooding Europe With Cocaine.” “Venezuela has become a major launchpad for huge volumes of cocaine shipped to West Africa, where jihadists are helping traffic it to Europe in record quantities,” the article begins, going out of its way to note that “the Trump administration’s pressure campaign against Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro — who it asserts is heavily involved in…

For years Donald Trump had no more committed a MAGA supporter than Rep. Margaret Taylor Greene of Georgia. As a private citizen, she had been fervently loyal to Trump during all the troubles and setbacks of his first term. Greene was then elected to Congress in 2020 and upon taking office fully endorsed Trump’s claims of a stolen election and his efforts to have it overturned. Just days later, the January 6, 2021 storming of the Capitol by a mob of outraged Trump supporters prompted many to denounce him as an insurrectionist, with numerous prominent Republicans joining that chorus of condemnation. After…

It’s been 20 years since I retired from the Air Force and 40 years since I first entered Cheyenne Mountain, America’s nuclear redoubt at the southern end of the Front Range that includes Pikes Peak in Colorado. So it was with some nostalgia that I read a recent memo from General Kenneth Wilsbach, the new Chief of Staff of the Air Force (CSAF). Along with the usual warrior talk, the CSAF vowed to “relentlessly advocate” for the new Sentinel ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile) and the B-21 Raider stealth bomber. While the Air Force often speaks of “investing” in new nukes, this time the CSAF opted…

You might deem it self-evident that words should have meanings, but a growing number of people believe words can mean anything the speaker wants. It seems we now inhabit the fictional world imagined by Lewis Carroll, where, as Humpty Dumpty said, any word “means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” In the recent “what is a woman” debates, some argued that the word “woman” means whatever anyone feels the word woman should mean. Similarly, in a recent social media debate involving the campaign to “abolish prisons” and set criminals free, a supporter of the “abolish prisons” campaign…

If Present Trends Continue: A Long-Term Prognosis for Human Civilisation Introduction: The Question Behind the Question When we ask about humanity’s long-term prognosis, “if things continue as they are,” we’re really asking: What happens when multiple unstable systems destabilise simultaneously while we remain locked in the political and economic patterns that created the instability? The answer requires examining converging trajectories across climate, geopolitics, technology, resources, and social cohesion—and, critically, how these interact. The prognosis isn’t extinction versus utopia; it’s a narrowing window for managed transition versus forced transformation through crisis. Let me be clear about what “if things continue as…

“Various “wars on drugs” throughout history have killed millions, enslaved millions more, destroyed families, are usually just thin pretenses for mass incarceration, mass surveillance, ethnic cleansing, population control.” ~ Kool A.D. There cannot be a war on drugs, a war on terrorism, a war on crime, a war on poverty, a war on racism, a war on guns, a war on obesity, border wars, and on and on. It seems everything in this country is based on the term war, which means that everything is based on force, and in the end, all war is actually violence against people here…

Among the key insights of Austrian economics are that humans act and value is subjective. These observations seem obvious and uncontroversial…essentially truisms. But they’re often forgotten, neglected, or misunderstood. Each person’s perspective is informed by innumerable variables that influence his values. An Englishman thinks a hundred miles is a long way. An American believes a hundred years is a long time. Is either, neither, or each of them right? Who’s to say? Would a woman rather receive a diamond ring or a gallon of water? As a former president of Harvard might put it, context matters. Is the lady sitting with her…

For more than a century, the Austrian School has warned that once money is severed from market discipline, every institution built upon it begins to deteriorate. Government expands without meaningful constraint. Savings are silently siphoned away. Investment becomes distorted by artificially cheap credit. War becomes politically easy. And political power gradually migrates from the productive class to those who control the printing press. Ludwig von Mises captured this dynamic in a simple but profound chain of logic: civilization requires rational economic calculation; calculation requires accurate prices; prices require free markets; free markets require voluntary exchange; and voluntary exchange requires secure…

Donald Trump is intent upon waging war on Venezuela  for allegedly supporting the trade in narcotics. Nonsense. The unspoken military agenda is that Venezuela is the World’s Number One Oil and Gas Economy. “And we want the Oil”…  There is another unspoken U.S. military agenda:  The protection of the multibillion dollar illegal trade in narcotics. Peru, Bolivia and Colombia are the major producers Worldwide of cocaine.  Afghanistan is the “Number One” Worldwide opium producer: illegal heroin, morphine, and non-pharmaceutical grade opioids. In the immediate wake of 9/11, US-NATO waged an all out  invasion of Afghanistan, which was casually accused by the…

Writes Bill Madden: Those attempting to persuade our military personnel not to follow illegal orders via national advertising will probably be found not guilty.  Those arguing against this persuasive effort usually don’t use the word “illegal” when condemning the six former government employees and might be found guilty of using excessive rhetorical B.S. in the court of public opinion.  Refusing illegal orders in the military is difficult to do because they normally are generated high in the chain of command and very few officers in the chain really know what is or is not a legal order.  Immediate superiors can…

Last week, Washington Post columnist David Ignatius wrote about “a startling document” that the CIA has kept hidden for some 50 years. The document apparently said that “the Mexican government had investigated Kennedy’s assassination and concluded Cuba was responsible.” It’s just more misdirection on the part of the CIA. Its targeted audience is those Americans who cannot bring themselves to recognize that the Pentagon and the CIA orchestrated and carried out the assassination of a U.S. president. The misdirection serves to confuse and confound that segment of American society. Oh, sure, that segment of Americans can accept that the U.S. national-security establishment does wield…

This talk was given on December 2nd, 2025 for Massachusetts Peace Action (MAPA) The video with discussion is here: Setting the Stage in Ukraine Ukrainian independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 hinged on the re-collection and dismantlement of 1,700 Soviet-owned and operated nuclear weapons, under the auspices of the Non Proliferation Treaty in 1994. As a soviet state, Ukraine had been the 3rd largest nuclear power in the world. The relocation and destruction of these Russian nuclear weapons was associated with guarantees to Ukraine, according to Wikipedia, as follows: In 1994, Ukraine agreed to transfer these weapons to Russia…

Around the Napoleonic era, Prussian (German) general and military theorist Carl von Clausewitz wrote a book called “On War”. One of his most compelling arguments was the postulate that “war is a mere continuation of policy by other means”. In essence, war is not some sudden, isolated event that just happens randomly, but rather an instrument of political goals that are pursued when diplomatic solutions are no longer viable or wanted by either side. Clausewitz’s argument emphasizes that war is fundamentally a deliberate political act with a carefully calculated purpose, rather than a purely emotional or violent undertaking. The latter two are…

“Happiness is the quiet truth that remains when illusion dissolves.” There are conversations we must return to again and again, not because they are comfortable, but because they illuminate something essential about the human condition. Happiness is one of those conversations. And yet, in all our modern discussions about well-being, ambition, success, identity, and progress, we often overlook the foundation that held earlier generations together—the quiet structures of morality, ethics, community, and responsibility. When I speak about happiness today, I often begin by reflecting on the world I grew up in. Not because nostalgia is a refuge, but because memory…
