Guest Column: “Psst, kid, want drugs? I’m a psychiatrist.”

Pushing, the modern way
Jon Rappoport

power outside the matrixExcerpt from nomorefakenews.com article here.

Look at it this way. The kid doesn’t have to pay for drugs out of his pocket. He gets them in a shrink’s office. Insurance covers it.

His parents may be able to work a Social Security disability claim and receive $$ and other free medical treatments. Continue reading

Brian’s Column: Context for Leaving the Sandbox

A passionate appeal to fellow Libertarians

Cover_Leaving_Sandbox_FrontThis is from the front matter to my book on Libertarian grand strategy Leaving the Sandbox, scheduled for completion June 21, 2014.

Roughly 2005 while I was embarked on the Free State journey in New Hampshire[1] an agorist disciple/leader and international philosophical man of intrigue, Jack Shimek, commented to me, “The Libertarian Party has set the cause of liberty back decades.” Actually, I think he said generations.

Naturally, being a longtime, if occasionally backslid, Libertarian, I resisted his assertion. Continue reading

Movie Review: Geronimo: An American Legend (1993)

Best-in-breed Western, like Hombre __ 9/10

GeronimoGeronimo: With all this land, why is there no room for the Apache? Why does the White-Eye want all land?

Get out your fond memories of Dances with Wolves, then take in a quasi-documentary treatment of the handling of the great Apache leader, Geronimo, by the US Government White-Eye military hierarchy. With a coterie of some of the best actors working in Hollywood in 1993.

Guest Column: The Brian Williams Interview… of Ed Snowden (5/27/14)

Forming a Reasonable Picture of the Snowden ‘Avatar’

SnowdenThough, following the advice of my herbalist, I did not subject myself to a full mind-numbing hour of a network news anchor conducting an Event, I did catch highlights on the Web such as this summary video here from The Young Turks (TYT). What comes across loud and clear is that whoever and whatever may be the deep spook content underlying Ed Snowden, on a personal level—just as Daniel Ellsberg years before with the Pentagon Papers—Snowden is a freedom icon and a libertarian, individualist hero. He projects a Randian aura of self-confidence and deliberate, modest, articulate righteousness. He is a good guy, and children should look up to him and want to be like him. Continue reading

Brian’s Column: Meandering Contra Monsanto

Memorial Day Weekend 2014 was upon us. Hearing that a spirited group of people from all political persuasions would be marching in support of the “Agent Orange” Monsanto for its beneficence in altering the genetic composition of such crops formerly known as corn and soybeans, thus to create assorted health challenges for babies and others, I knew I had to check it out. [Darwin and reputable scientists have maintained that selection of the fittest keeps a species on its toes, assuring that only the strong survive. In other words, GMOs are good for you.] So I did. I pointed my vintage Mercury Villager, with the Ron Paul sticker on the front bumper and ‘Snowden-Manning 2016’ on the back, down the road to the environs of Wolverine City. Continue reading
