Okay, so the title of this post isn’t exactly correct. I’m not going to discuss the marketing of establishment propaganda per se. I am going to discuss one of the methods used to maintain it, however. Recently, a friend of mine, knowing that I run with an “alternative” crowd sent

I’m currently reading “For Good and Evil: The Impact of Taxes on the Course of Civilization” by Charles Adams and I happened to come across this quote, which seems rather appropriate for the times. Thomas Jefferson, an Anti-federalist, believed that (tax) rebellions every twenty years or so were “good medicine”
I love this one from Infowars: She makes a great point, actually…. buuuuut… science by definition must be falsifiable – i.e., you have to be able to disprove it. So what exactly WOULD disprove “Global Warming”? Well… NOTHING WOULD! And that’s why, Rachel, “Global Warming” is NOT science!
The concepts of rights is confusing to a lot of people. You can’t see them, you can’t feel them, and they are very often violated. As far as most people are concerned they simply don’t exist. Or, if they do, they are only something that the government “grants” and as
There are quite a few so-called “libertarian” groups touting so-called “anarcho-capitalism”. To my mind this term is nothing but an oxymoron that serves to confuse people who have otherwise correct instincts. This might be because one of the apparent proponents of the idea was none other than Murray Rothbard. It’s
Recently I wrote a quick post about the FDA in relation to a TV show on Animal Planet called I’m Alive. I received a couple of comments, but one of them requires a little more explanation so I’ve decided to answer it as a post. First, the title of that
I have not read the article depicted on the cover of the latest issue of The New Individualist. However, I did think that the image chosen for the cover and the title were interesting when compared with an earlier issue.
Edited October 15, 2023 for videos removed from YouTube for “copyright infringement.” Original video links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTp13VhXQ-U and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_8Zq_iWuFg This is such a positively priceless blunder, one has to wonder… can it really be a coincidence? For those of you who might not get it, here is the relevant scene from
USA Today is featuring this nice Presidential Approval Tracker that lets you compare the approval ratings of various presidents during their time in office. I’m not much for polls and approval ratings. I tend to think there is way too much leeway there for propaganda. Nevertheless, it’s sometimes worthwhile to
This post is again inspired by an article from The Freeman, the magazine for the Foundation for Economic Education. In thinking about it now, I imagine that today I would disagree on some level with a great many of the articles published in the Freeman over the years. Some ideas
This is a just pet-peeve of mine. I sometimes hear arguments regarding the ‘consent’ clause of the Declaration of Independence that seem to imply that one must consent to a just government and from that follows the idea that anything goes as long as one consents. I have to weigh
I really am feeling these days that I am living in a matrix. Not just a system created by elites… a real cosmic joke. The absurdity here of course is that it took a ban on FOX HUNTING for the British people to realize that they wanted their guns back.
For those of you that might have been lost by my reference to “sunglasses” in a previous post this is the movie that alludes to. Pretty funny and entertaining… but with a bit of truth??? Note: you can use the drop down box under “Google” to go directly to Google
At this point, it’s worth taking a look at what happened in 1929. If you’re not yet familiar with this chart, let’s just say that you probably will become familiar with it over the next few years. This chart is from Yahoo. Click the image to go to Yahoo’s Finance
This was pointed out to me by someone noting the Obama signs in the yards of neighbors. Not only do I doubt very much this is a coincidence, but even if it was, one would imagine that the distaste alone would be enough to crush Obama’s campaign. That it doesn’t
