(originally composed 02/07/2011)


Please everyone find an hour and a half today or within the next few days to watch the video “Welcome to the Reservation,” linked to the image on the right. It is an exclusive interview conducted by Infowars.com with American Indian activist and libertarian hero Russell Means. Means’ assessment of the political plight in this country: Tyrannical US government (USG) is increasingly treating everyone else just like it has been treating the American Indian from the gitgo.

Book Review: Bankers and Other People’s Money (1913)

From inside the belly of the beast
by Louis Brandeis
Review by Brian Wright


The Bankers and Other People's MoneySo this is what it looks like on the inside of the Money Trust system. Louis Brandeis was a remarkable public-spirited individual who became a top public-affairs attorney. Graduating from Harvard, he developed a highly successful law practice in Boston.

Movie Review: Tomorrow (1972)

Faulkner story stark and simple _ 8/10Tomorrow
Review by Brian Wright

From IMDb a comment:
Jon (ssgtjon@hotmail.com) (San Antonio, Tx) October 1999: I would agree with Robert Duvall as this being one of his favorite films he made. Any thinking person with enough patience should love this film. The movie concerns a simple, probably illiterate Mississippi dirt farmer who is hired as an overseer of a saw mill during the winter season and finds an abandoned pregnant woman whom he eventually falls in love with.
