Muslim Invasion Collapses Libertarianism’s Open Borders Ideal–And Possibly Europe

A libertarian called Bionic Mosquito has finally figured out that open borders aren’t such a bright idea. [Open Borders: Case Study, November 5, 2015] Hilariously, LewRockwell.com’s front page teaser for the reprint runs like this: Open Borders Essential to libertarianism, or incompatible with it? To which the reply is, “both, which is why libertarianism, like all liberalism, is suicidal.” Open borders are essential to libertarianism because borders impede the human “right” to do whatever one wants — in this case, jump the border of another country and violates its laws — but then again are incompatible with libertarianism because the people ...
They WERE Communists–Dalton Trumbo Had It Coming

Bryan Cranston as Hollywood Communist Dalton Trumbo. “Dalton Trumbo was a socialist, but he loved being rich.” So says Bryan Cranston, who stars in “Trumbo,” out this week, and plays the screenwriter who went to prison with the Hollywood Ten in the time of Harry Truman. Actually, Trumbo was not a socialist. Bernie Sanders is a socialist. Trumbo was a Stalinist, a hard-core Communist when the Communist Party USA was run from Moscow by the Comintern, agents of the greatest mass murderer of the 20th century. Trumbo was not what Lenin called a “useful idiot,” a liberal simpleton. He was the real deal, a Bolshevik who followed every twist and turn in the ...

Among the many examples of state power run amok is when armed law enforcers descend on small farms to carry out a war on food freedom.Last month, 20 officials from the ministries of agriculture, natural resources and finance in Ontario, Canada raided Michael Schmidt’s milk farm with the help of local police. They began removing equipment and computers, intending to confiscate them for the crime of providing raw milk to people who freely choose to drink it.But then something awesome happened. Up to 50 members of Schmidt’s farming collective showed up and blocked the path of the officials, risking arrest to demand that the government leave Schmidt’s possessions and exit the ...

(CNN)The latest U.S. intelligence suggests that the crash of a Russian passenger jet in the Sinai over the weekend was most likely caused by a bomb on the plane planted by ISIS or an ISIS affiliate, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter. But the official stressed a formal conclusion has not been reached by the U.S. intelligence community. "There is a definite feeling it was an explosive device planted in luggage or somewhere on the plane," the official, who is familiar with the latest U.S. intelligence analysis of the crash, told CNN. Other U.S. officials also told CNN that the analysis is pointing toward the cause being a bomb. Based on the same intelligence, ...

Last Wednesday (28 October 2015), FOX’s Neil Cavuto interviewed a Congresswoman who argued that the United States had to stop trying to destroy Bashir al-Assad’s regime in Syria and concentrate on decisively defeating the Islamic State (IS), al-Qaeda, etc. How can that be done, Mr. Cavuto asked? The Congresswoman — who is a U.S. military veteran — responded that the use of Special Forces and air power can turn the trick. Always the gracious gentleman, Mr. Cavuto behaved as if the Congresswoman was making sense, providing insight, and pointing the way to victory. In truth, she was simply parroting the long-discredited line of the U.S. bipartisan governing elite. This ...

Orban Accuses Soros of Stoking Refugee Wave to Weaken Europe

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban accused billionaire investor George Soros of being a prominent member of a circle of "activists" trying to undermine European nations by supporting refugees heading to the continent from the Middle East and beyond. "His name is perhaps the strongest example of those who support anything that weakens nation states, they support everything that changes the traditional European lifestyle," Orban said in an interview on public radio Kossuth. "These activists who support immigrants inadvertently become part of this international human-smuggling network." Rights groups have criticized Orban for building a razor-wire fence on ...
Former French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, suspect after 680 Kilos of coke found on private jet

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy is under investigation for his involvement in a drug deal worth over $54 million. Investigators discovered that he was connected to possible drug traffickers, and regularly used a private airplane that was caught attempting to transport large amounts of cocaine internationally. In 2013, two French pilots were captured as they attempted to fly 680 kilos of cocaine out of the Dominican Republic in an airplane that is closely tied to Sarkozy and a company owned by one of his very close associates. Just last week, these pilots escaped from the country and are nowhere to be found. Many suspect that high-ranking politicians were able to use their clout to ...

“The United States is being sucked into a new Middle East war,” says the New York Times. And the Times has it exactly right. Despite repeated pledges not to put “boots on the ground” in Syria, President Obama is inserting 50 U.S. special ops troops into that country, with more to follow. U.S. A-10 “Warthog” attack planes have been moved into Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, close to Syria. Hillary Clinton, who has called for arming Syrian rebels to bring down Bashar Assad, is urging Obama to establish a no-fly zone inside Syria. Citing Clinton and Gen. David Petraeus, John McCain is calling for a no-fly zone and a safe zone in Syria, to be policed by U.S. air ...

[...] Japan and China have been gradually resuming exchanges following 2012 tensions over the control of disputed islands in the East China Sea.

Norfolk, Virginia (CNN)—Donald Trump on Saturday knocked President Barack Obama's decision to deploy fewer than 50 Special Operations forces on the ground in Syria, suggesting the strategy is a half-measure. "I think we have a president who just doesn't know what he's doing," Trump told CNN. "You either do it or you don't do it. Fifty people. He puts 50 people." Trump did not say whether he would deploy more troops to Syria as president, but simply said, "You either do it or you don't do it." The remarks are the first time Trump has reacted to Obama's decision to deploy fewer than 50 Special Operations forces to Syria, which the ...
How Did President Bush leave Iraq

With ISIS now running the whole region after the blunders of the Kenyan, it might be helpful to remember how Bush left Iraq: ***************************** 3/17/2009 In most ways, the news from Iraq couldn't be better. People there feel more secure, and are more committed to democracy, than ever. Is it possible that President Bush was right after all? A poll of average Iraqis conducted by ABC News, the BBC and Japan's NHK shows significant progress on virtually all fronts. Yet, we've heard nary a peep about it from anyone. Some 85% of respondents said their neighborhood security was good, vs. 62% a year ago and just 43% in August of 2007. And 52% said security had gotten ...

Trailed by two Chinese warships, the guided-missile destroyer USS Lassen sailed inside the 12-nautical-mile limit of Subi Reef, a man-made island China claims as her national territory. Beijing protested. Says China: Subi Reef and the Spratly Island chain, in a South China Sea that carries half of the world’s seaborne trade, are as much ours as the Aleutians are yours. Beijing’s claim to the Spratlys is being contested by Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, the Philippines and Taiwan. While Hanoi and Manila have occupied islets and built structures to back their claims, the Chinese have been more aggressive. They have occupied rocks and reefs with troops, dredged and expanded them ...
China's big chess move against the U.S.: Latin America

China is making friends right under America's nose. Latin America is China's latest business buddy. Chinese banks increased investments in Latin America by 71% last year, and the country plans to double its trade volume with the Central and South American region over the next decade. This comes as U.S. power in the Americas is starting to erode. U.S. cash is actually fleeing the region as investors see better deals at home or elsewhere. China doesn't appear as worried about the short-term. "What we're looking at is not simply an economic play. It's an economic play that also has political and strategic undertones," says Ilan Berman, vice president of the ...
Venezuela is running out of cash and selling its gold

Venezuela is running out of money fast and has started selling its gold. The cash-strapped country could default by next year when lots of debt payments are due. Venezuela's reserves, which are mostly made up of gold, have fallen sharply this year as the country needs cash to pay off debt and tries to maintain its social welfare programs. Venezuela owes about $15.8 billion in debt payments between now and the end of 2016. But it doesn't have enough to make good on its payments. Venezuela only has $15.2 billion in foreign reserves -- the lowest amount since 2003. A lot of those reserves are in gold. Less than $1 billion of Venezuela's reserves are in cash, and it has a couple ...

The girls can be heard saying: “I thought I was the only one who’s in a bad mood because of this.” “None of us want this. We’re all scared.” “What is this? How will this be in 100 years?” “This is not my life. It just shows you how many of them are here already.” “Now there’s another 1.5 million who came this year.” “Every year 2-3 million arrive.” ...

How stupid did Pratt & Whitney have to be to employ an Iranian engineer? Mozaffar Khazaee was sentenced Friday to eight years in prison for attempting to carry sensitive material about the engines for the U.S. Air Force’s F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and F-22 Raptor as he left for Iran. He was arrested at the Newark International Airport in January 2014. Khazaee was raised in Iran and entered to this country to attend the University of Oklahoma, later earning a doctorate in mechanical engineering from New Mexico State University. Interestingly, Washington doesn’t mind thousands of foreign students from unfriendly nations studying technology and other useful subjects. Literally ...

The straw which broke the European Union’s back might be the refugee crisis. Things reportedly got pretty tense in Brussels during an energy summit, causing The Guardian to report the EU could completely fall apart. Miro Cerar, the Slovenian prime minister, said the EU was days from collapse as his country buckled under an “unbearable” influx of migrants. “If we do not deliver some immediate and concrete actions on the ground in the next few days and weeks I believe the EU and Europe as a whole will start falling apart,” he said. Werner Faymann, the Austrian chancellor, said Sunday’s meeting would “either consolidate the unity of ...

Paul Ryan’s free-trade policies have just cost the people of his district their jobs. General Electric announced it will close the plant in Ryan’s district that manufactures gas engines and move the operation to Canada. This is fine with Mr. Ryan. He has taken the European Union principle of the free flow of people, goods and capital across borders and adopted it as his own worldview and philosophy. President Obama praised Ryan for his stand on immigration and trade, policies that would make it easier for global corporations to import people or products from overseas without worrying about pesky things called national borders. As chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, ...

www.wsj.com The Myth of Basic Science Isaac Newton (1642-1727) uses a prism to separate white light into the colors of the spectrum, watched by his Cambridge University roommate John Wickins, right, as rendered in an 1874 print. Innovation is a mysteriously difficult thing to dictate. Technology seems to change by a sort of inexorable, evolutionary progress, which we probably cannot stop—or speed up much either. And it’s not much the product of science. Most technological breakthroughs come from technologists tinkering, not from researchers chasing hypotheses. Heretical as it may sound, “basic science” isn’t nearly as productive of new inventions as we tend to ...
