Kevin MacDonald: Pat Buchanan is Censored by Human Events

by Kevin MacDonald – The Occidental Observer

censorship.jpgWeb Note: I was hoping someone would take the time to go through the Human Events version of Pat’s column, just to find out what they didn’t want the American people to read. What did PJB write that was so offensive, so verboten, that they were compelled to delete nearly 50% of his column? Kevin gives us the scoop.

VIDEO: SA@TAC – The Great Neo-Con: Libertarianism Isn’t ‘Conservative’

Unilke libertarianism, which Ronald Reagan once called “the very heart and soul of conservatism,” it has been neoconservatism that is an aberration to the conservative movement.

Ron Paul vs. the Naysayers

By Justin Raimondo – AntiWar.com

antiwar-com.jpgAmerica’s leading champion of liberty has some pretty vicious enemies – inside the libertarian movement

As someone who has recently been described as “objectively fascist,” I hesitate to declare “tomorrow belongs to me,” but if Bill Kristol’s disdain for those “kids” at the CPAC conference who handed Ron Paul an impressive victory is any indication, the sclerotic neocon establishment has given up on the youth vote – even the conservative youth vote – and the future belongs to us Paulians.

Ron Paul! That’s all I have to say…

By Justin Raimondo – AntiWar.com

Ron PaulThe annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which has been going on for many years, is a bellwether of where the action is on the right side of the political spectrum – and the news from the latest gathering has both the traditional Buckley-style right and the Obama-ite liberal-left in shock. The CPAC presidential polls are a conference tradition, and the winner is often hailed as not only the up-and-coming champion of the Republican “hard” right but also a serious presidential contender. The winner of the previous three CPAC polls, Mitt Romney, was accorded such status early on in part because of his CPAC victories, but this time he was left in the dust by congressman Ron Paul.

Liquidating the Empire

By Patrick J. Buchanan

A decade ago, Oldsmobile went. Last year, Pontiac. Saturn, Saab and Hummer were discontinued. A thousand GM dealerships shut down.

To those who grew up in a “GM family,” where buying a Chrysler was like converting to Islam, what happened to GM was deeply saddening.

Yet the amputations had to be done — or GM would die.

And the same may be about to happen to the American Imperium.

Its birth can be traced to World War II, when America put 16 million men in uniform and sent millions across the seas to crush Nazi Germany and Japan. After V-E and V-J Day, the boys came home.

A Warning To The Tea Party Nation

By Chuck Baldwin – Chuck Baldwin Live

ronpaul-teapartyAs far as grassroots activism goes, the surge in Tea Parties across America is one of the more encouraging developments to recently take place. It reminds me of the “Conservative Revolution” of 1994, when the GOP reclaimed both the US Senate and House of Representatives. At that time, it had been over 40 years since the Republican Party controlled both the US House and Senate. And, between the two, the House victories were the most significant.

Ron Paul vs. Sarah Palin for the Soul of the Tea Parties

by Jane Hamsher – The Huffington Post

palin-mccainThere’s trouble brewing between the Ron Paul libertarians who staged the the first modern tea party in 2007 by dumping tea into Boston Harbor, and the neocon war hawks led by Sarah Palin who are furiously trying to hijack their message.

After I appeared on MSNBC talking about Sarah Palin’s appearance at the Nashville tea party convention, several libertarians told me they were unhappy with the exchange.

2010: U.S. to Wage War Throughout the World

Rick Rozoff – LewRockwell.com

Beginning with the October 7, 2001 missile and bomb attacks on Afghanistan, American combat operations abroad have not ceased for a year, a month, a week or a day in the 21st century.

Change Blindness: Research and History How Americans Are As Blind to US Fascism as Nazi-era Germans

by Carl Herman – The Examiner

blind americanPsychological research demonstrates that large-scale dramatic change can escape attention when the change is unsuspected, unannounced, and agents causing the change act as if nothing is different. Two areas of this cognitive study are “change blindness” and “inattentional blindness.” When we include consideration of “cognitive dissonance,” the rejection of facts when they conflict with important beliefs, we can approach an explanation of how educated citizens could accept fascism when it was unsuspected, unannounced, and the responsible agents fraudulently represented the new government as no different from the old. Cognitive dissonance would deter many people to accept the new reality, even when the facts were clear.

Official US Policy: Nuke Iran Because Nuclear Program Might “Wipe Israel Off Map”

Carl Herman – Examiner.com

nuke iranThe policy describing US military use of nuclear weapons is the 2005 Doctrine for Joint Nuclear Operations. Its preface states:

“The guidance in this publication is authoritative; as such, this doctrine will be followed except when, in the judgment of the commander, exceptional circumstances dictate otherwise. If conflicts arise between the contents of this publication and the contents of Service publications, this publication will take precedence unless the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, normally in coordination with the other members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has provided more current and specific guidance.”

Fool Me Twice

by Philip Giraldi – AntiWar.com

reality-checkRemember the old line, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me,” the point being that after you are conned once you should never again be so gullible as to be taken in a second time? Well, by that standard the American public and media should be ashamed of themselves as they are about to be fooled again. It is hard to ignore the fact that Washington is marching towards a confrontation with Iran that will surely lead to war that is being orchestrated by the same players that brought about Iraq.

The Trial of the Century and the Long Shadow of 9/11

by Justin Raimondo – AntiWar.com

antiwar-comA weird concatenation of events – the Ft. Hood shoot-up, the decision by the Obama administration to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other 9/11 plotters, and the seizure of a mosque and other properties said to be owned by a front for the Iranian government – has once again brought the question of domestic terrorism to center stage. This underscores a remarkable fact: that the 9/11 attacks, even more than the Japanese strike at Pearl Harbor, have influenced, even dominated, our domestic politics as well as our foreign policy. We are still standing in the long shadow of that event, and nothing, it seems, can haul us out of the dark and back up into the light.

Kristol Reflections: How the Neocon Godfather Rewrote the American Right

by Daniel McCarthy – The American Conservative

irving-kristolWhen Irving Kristol died on Sept. 18, neoconservatism lost more than just its “godfather.” It lost its most unabashed exponent, “a true, self-confessed—perhaps the only—‘neoconservative,’” as he described himself in the title of a 1979 essay. Others of his persuasion have disclaimed the label, coined as a reproach by the socialist Michael Harrington. But Kristol embraced it. Indeed, he expanded on it, explaining in Neoconservatism: The Autobiography of an Idea that he had always been a “neo” of one kind or another: “a neo-Marxist, a neo-Trotskyist, a neo-socialist, a neoliberal, and finally a neoconservative.” After the Bush years, during which defenders of the administration insisted that anyone who spoke of “neoconservatives” really meant “Jews,” it is refreshing to return to Kristol’s frank self-description. He was not coy about his influences, either: he wrote that after Marxist philosopher Sidney Hook, “the two thinkers who had the greatest subsequent impact on my thinking were Lionel Trilling and Leo Strauss.”

A Court Decision That Reflects What Type of Country the US Is

By Glenn Greenwald – PuppetGov.com

TortureIt’s not often that an appellate court decision reflects so vividly what a country has become, but such is the case with yesterday’s ruling by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Arar v. Ashcroft (.pdf).  

Maher Arar is both a Canadian and Syrian citizen of Syrian descent.  A telecommunications engineer and graduate of Montreal’s McGill University, he has lived in Canada since he’s 17 years old.  In 2002, he was returning home to Canada from vacation when, on a stopover at JFK Airport, he was (a) detained by U.S. officials, (b) accused of being a Terrorist, (c) held for two weeks incommunicado and without access to counsel while he was abusively interrogated, and then (d) was “rendered” – despite his pleas that he would be tortured — to Syria, to be interrogated and tortured.

How Goldman Secretly Bet on the U.S. Housing Crash

by Greg Gordon – McClatchy Newspapers

Despite updating its numerous disclosures to investors in 2007, Goldman never revealed its secret wagers….

WASHINGTON — In 2006 and 2007, Goldman Sachs Group peddled more than $40 billion in securities backed by at least 200,000 risky home mortgages, but never told the buyers it was secretly betting that a sharp drop in U.S. housing prices would send the value of those securities plummeting.

Goldman’s sales and its clandestine wagers, completed at the brink of the housing market meltdown, enabled the nation’s premier investment bank to pass most of its potential losses to others before a flood of mortgage defaults staggered the U.S. and global economies.

Scott Horton Interviews Sibel Edmonds and John M. Cole

Scott Horton – AntiWar Radio

WebNote: Let me tell you right up front that the AntiWar Radio podcast with Scott Horton is the best talk radio on the entire planet. I never miss any of his shows – ever. I learn more from his program than I could spending days on the Net. This is information that you will never learn from cable TV – real news about our government and all the insiders. Here’s the problem. I’m getting smarter listening to Horton and his outstanding guests, but now I’m angrier that ever. I really want you to tune in and get fired up along with me. Then maybe we can actually get that 2nd R3volution going. Tune into AntiWar Radio via the website or ITunes.

Rethinking World War III

by Justin Raimondo — AntiWar.com

World War III

Our spooks stopped Bush from bombing Iran, but can they stop Obama?

In 2007, just as the Bush administration was hyping the alleged “threat” from Iran’s ostensible nuclear ambitions – and facing renewed pressure from the Israel lobby to go after Tehran – the CIA issued a National Intelligence Estimate that punctured the War Party’s balloon. The NIE, which represents the considered opinion of all 16 U.S. intelligence agencies, averred that we knew with “high confidence” Iran had abandoned its nuclear weapons program in 2003 and not restarted it.

Why Liberals Kill

by Thaddeus Russell — The Daily Beast

The left may be pressuring President Obama to exit Afghanistan. But their heroes—from FDR to JFK—promoted U.S. involvement in more wars than all modern GOP presidents combined.

Should President Barack Obama continue his escalation of the wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan, it will be the liberal thing to do.
