Film Analysis *** Jeffrey Tucker November 30, 2007: Jeffrey Tucker detects a lesson in the new film version of Beowulf that was not present in the original story. This film teaches us the folly of idealizing government leaders. The state organizes itself in order to celebrate itself. It rules with the consensus of society, which also desires to celebrate the state and its leaders. The head of state has to work very hard not to emerge from this conspiracy as a hero. *** Historical Analysis *** The Non-Inevitability of America's Defeat in Vietnam: G. Stolyarov II November 30, 2007: Mr. Stolyarov writes that the failure of the*** Alan Caruba November 30, 2007: The libraries of the world are filled with books devoted to history and new ones are published on any almost daily basis, but if their lessons are ignored, it condemns nations and the peoples of the world to horrors that increase with the evolving technology of death. Alan Caruba explains. *** Literary Analysis *** Jeffrey Tucker November 30, 2007: Environmentalism, it’s been said, is the ideological luxury of city dwellers in modern life, for anyone who lives just outside an urban or suburban environment knows the truth: nature is vicious and cruel and works relentlessly to make the life of man a living Hell. Jeffrey Tucker explains, using personal experience and examples from Garet Garrett’s novel Satan’s Bushel. *** Politics *** The Precedent for the Ron Paul Dollar: Clifford F. Thies November 30, 2007: On Wednesday, November 14, 2007, federal agents raided the Indianapolis headquarters of a company called NORFED, the National Organization for the Repeal of the Federal Reserve Act and Internal Revenue Code, and seized its holdings of gold, silver, and copper, much of it in the form of coins bearing the likeness of US Congressman Dr. Ron Paul of Texas, a candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States. The search warrant for this raid alleges fraud and money laundering, and a supporting affidavit refers to provisions of the US Code that prohibit the emission of any coins intended to circulate as money, and the emission of anything in the likeness of the currency of the United States. Clifford F. Thies explores two questions. How is it that the US government has the power to prohibit people from using alternative forms of money (i.e., the first provision), and how is it that the coins of NORFED resemble those of the United States (the second)?*** The True Cost of Taxing and Spending: Ron Paul November 30, 2007: Tax and spend policies create needs they can never satisfy. Rep. Ron Paul argues that a government check does not make up for a lost job. Americans do not want more of this. Americans believe in hard work and self-sufficiency, not standing in line for government hand-outs. We are supposed to be living in a land of opportunity, but opportunities fade fast if more tax and spend policies are enacted. The more Congress meddles in the economy, the bigger the problems get. *** Ron Paul November 30, 2007: Rep. Ron Paul writes that when we look at global
situations today, the words of our founding fathers are becoming more
relevant daily. We need to understand that a simple, humble foreign
policy makes us less vulnerable and less targeted on the world stage. *** Iraq: The Folly of Deifying Democracy: Selwyn Duke November 30, 2007: We hear lots of criticism of the Iraq venture from the left, right and center. There is everything from silly notions about presidential prevarication to how “it is only about oil” to one-world government conspiracy theories. Yet, while military action can rise from policy objectives, it’s often ignored that policy objectives tend to rise from the time’s prevailing philosophy. And the truth is that insofar as the war in Iraq has been misguided, the blame can be laid at the feet of the spirit our age. *** Anti-NAU Warriors Beginning to Move the Rock Uphill!: Tom DeWeese November 30, 2007: Tom DeWeese writes that there are signs that the huge rock at the bottom of the hill that is the unmovable NAU is beginning to budge uphill as heroes are emerging in the fight. Some close to the movers and shakers are beginning to hint at a concern that they just might not be able to implement the SPP - that darned opposition just won't go away. At the same time, anti-NAU forces are beginning to see signs of progress as the movement is getting energized. Victory is certainly not in sight, but now there is hope. *** The SAVE Act Will Deliver America - to Centralized Control!: American Policy Center November 30, 2007: The American Policy Center warns that the
"Secure *** "A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine." ~ Thomas Jefferson
