An American Bombing

8h ago
The most mainstream documentary about the truth behind the Oklahoma Bombing is now running on HBO. An American Bombing is a great, if partial, vindication of the great work of Glenn and Kathy Wilburn, J.D. Cash, Roger Charles, Jesse Trentadue, Richard Booth, Wendy Painting, William Jasper, Charles Key, Mark Hamm and many other great truth-tellers on this issue over the last 29 years. https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=75077270 ..read more

On April 17, ZeroHedge hosted a debate on the Israel-Palestine conflict moderated by Saagar Enjeti of Breaking Points, which pitted libertarian comedian and political commentator Dave Smith and The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur against conservative talk show host Dennis Prager and Newsweek deputy opinion editor Batya Ungar-Sargon. The main topic of debate was whether Israel’s ongoing military operation in Gaza is justified. Smith and Uygur argued in the negative while Prager and Ungar-Sargon argued in the affirmative. The apologists for what ..read more

“The truth about the world, he said, is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is, a hat trick in a medicine show, a fevered dream, a trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent, an itinerant carnival, a migratory tent-show whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning.” – Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian Sober observers may find another reason for the Iranian attack against Israel this month in reta ..read more

The Libertarian Institute Blog
by Michael Granger
3d ago
With a resounding “Aye,” Defend the Guard was made an official part of the New Hampshire Republican Party platform. On Saturday, April 13, the New Hampshire GOP held a meeting to vote on platform amendments. Among the list of proposals was the following text: “Demand that Congress exercise their sole authority over war declarations and protect the New Hampshire National Guard by requiring a Congressional declaration of war prior to any National Guardsman deployment to overseas combat zones.” After some remarks from supporters, and one or two in opposition, it went to a voice vote, and the “A ..read more

Failure Follies: The US Navy Continues the Race to the Bottom
The Libertarian Institute Blog
by Bill Buppert
4d ago
The collapse of western martial civilization is sticking to its schedule. The Wasp class LHD, USS Boxer, has suffered yet another engineering casualty. On this the Navy delivers with a spectacular consistent track record of failure with the Little Crappy Ships, the Zumwalt class and the 20 billion dollar USS Ford that cannot reliably launch and retrieve aircraft (you had one job!). Keep in mind the USN already lost the USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) to a catastrophic fire in July 2020. Will anyone in uniform ever be held accountable? Don’t hold your breath. Expect the chaos avalanche of enginee ..read more

More on Immigration and Public Property
The Libertarian Institute Blog
by Sheldon Richman
4d ago
Inspired by scholar Simon Guenzl, it occurred to me that regarding “state-claimed” so-called public property, people have been wronged not primarily as taxpayers but as potential homesteaders. (See Guenzl’s “Public Property and the Libertarian Immigration Debate,” Libertarian Papers, 2016 vol. 8, no. 1, and listen to his conversation with Bob Murphy’s Human Action Podcast.) Guenzl properly distinguishes between state-claimed land and state-seized land, such as that acquired through eminent domain. In the latter case, government personnel took land from identifiable owners, but state-claim ..read more
