Remember the postal anthrax attacks of 2001? The ones that killed 5 people. The ones that came with notes saying in broken English such things as 'DEATH TO AMERICA. DEATH TO ISRAEL. ALLAH IS GREAT'. I do. I was working in an office at the time and we were issued with gloves to open the mail, just in case Osama or Saddam or whoever was responsible sent some anthrax our way. Actually, it turns out if we had received some it wouldn't have come from the Middle East, it would have come from the United States Armies own bio weapons laboratory, that was the conclusion of the FBI investigation anyway.
Robbie Martin has produced a documentary exploring the strange story surrounding these attacks, ultimately questioning if they were in fact an 'inside job' used to generate a climate of fear and beat the drums of war for Iraq. Here he is being interviewed on this by his sister, Abby -
"(NaturalNews) The French National Assembly has adopted a bill to limit exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) generated by wireless technologies - cell phones, tablets, Wi-Fi etc. This bill will mean the following:
• A ban on Wi-Fi in all childcare facilities for children under the age of 3. • Cell phone manufacturers will have to recommend the use of hand-free kits. • A ban on all advertising targeting children under 14."
"Incentives are critical to wolf conservation. My first insight into their importance came in a small schoolhouse in St. Anthony, Idaho, in 1984. I had brought together about twenty livestock producers from the area who would be affected by reintroduction of wolves. I thought that if I could better understand their concerns, together we could figure out what we needed to do to bring wolves back to Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho.....
....Since the reintroduction program began in 1995, the number of wolves in the wild in Yellowstone and central Idaho has gone from zero to over four hundred animals. Currently there are thirteen wolf packs in Yellowstone. "1
Hank Fisher
A Learn Liberty video about an innovative wolf conservation program, explained by Laura Huggins of the Property and Environment Research Center (PERC). PERC explores the role free markets and property rights can play in protecting the environment and conserving endangered species by thinking in terms of establishing the correct economic incentives for conservation. This is interesting to me as typical solutions in this area consist of stronger state controls and regulations, with markets seen as being things that are hostile to conservation. We live in a time where we're in danger of witnessing the extinction of many species and surely all options need to be on the table when considering the best action to take to prevent this. Even if you find it distasteful that animals should have to justify themselves by producing profit for someone, high moral ground isn't going to feel very good when they're all extinct.

Definitely one of the weirdest things
I've ever come across is the prevalence of occult/mind control/demonic
themes in the popular music industry. It's so weird in fact that
there's no way I'd blog about this stuff unless I felt a cast-iron
case had been made. To my mind the anonymous blogger Vigilant
Citizen has made such a case. In his latest article he examines the
recent Grammy awards ceremony, in particular Kate Perry's black magic
demon summoning performance.
"The 2014 Grammy Awards featured a black magic witchcraft ritual disguised as a Katy Perry performance. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. This has been going on for years. We’ll look at the Illuminati Agenda pushed in the 2014 Grammy Awards."
This is not a one off for the Grammy's, last year the symbolism whilst present seems to have been less overt, whilst 2012 saw Nikki Minaj preforming a black mass
Finally an awareness of these themes seems to be creeping more into the public consciousness, with sports stars tweeting about the darkness of the Grammy's and Christian performers pulling out.1 The comedy video below has gained over 170,000 hits on youtube in the past week, its creators present the Grammy award for 'Illuminate Puppet of the Year.' With the exception of one tasteless joke about Adele, it's very funny and disturbingly accurate.
In a follow up to the 'How to Fight
Global Poverty' post, here's anarchist philosopher Stefan Molyneux
explaining the role economic freedom plays in eradicating poverty,
and how state intervention disrupts this process. We really could
see the eradication of poverty within our lifetimes!
(Additional interesting fact from the
video, apparently the British government controls more of the British
economy than the Communist Chinese government controls of the Chinese
economy!)

“If there's one policy that would change the wealth of the world it
is open borders, standard estimate is that it would double the wealth
of the world.”
Professor Bryan Caplan
Depending on which newspaper you read the UK is currently either
sinking under the collective weight of 100million Bulgarian's and
Romanian's, or about six of them have arrived since the border
controls were dropped. Either way it's a good time to take a look at
the the concepts of border controls and the state's restrictions on
the free movement of people.
To be consistent with my anarchist views I would
have to advocate a world of complete free movement of people, a world
where anyone could move and work anywhere. But is this just a
Utopian fantasy? Would cataclysmic consequences ensue? According to
free-market economist Benjamin Powell, a specialist in the economic
development of poor countries, the answer is no, at least as far as
the economics goes. Immigrants are not a drag on the economy and they
don't 'steal' jobs or depress wages.
Whilst it's good to tackle the economic myths surrounding immigration
and alleviate peoples fears, one problem I have with this is that the
starting premiss is that immigrants have to justify themselves on the basis that they will benefit us. I think what
we should be questioning is by what right do people in one geographical
area deny others the right to come and work there? I can understand
how someone can steal my car say, because my car is a thing that I
consider I own. But in what sense do I own a job, maybe one that I
don't even do? If I don't own it, if it isn't my possession, how can
someone else possibly steal it from me?
But if a first world country dropped all immigration controls
tomorrow, surely that would be a disaster right? Millions of people
from the third world would flock there causing utter chaos. It would
be like building a dam to prevent flooding, then deciding that it'd
been a bad idea and de-constructing it by blowing it up. Well
according to economist Bryan Caplan no, not only should we drop
border controls but we should do so immediately. That's the position he argues in his debate
(video below) with Professor Jan Ting, that border controls are a
massive violation of human rights that leave everybody worse off and the sooner we get rid of them the better for all.
Maybe future generations will look back and laugh at the illiteracy of a people who thought that enforcing massive restrictions on human movement could somehow be a good thing.

"I can give you a guarantee to protect the Winter Olympics in the city of Sochi on the Black Sea next year. The Chechen groups that threaten the security of the games are controlled by us, and they will not move in the Syrian territory’s direction without coordinating with us. These groups do not scare us. We use them in the face of the Syrian regime but they will have no role or influence in Syria’s political future.”
Prince Bandar Bin Sultan, director general of the Saudi Intelligence Agency, to Vladimir Putin, August 20131
In the video below geopolitical annalist James Corbett speculates on
the deeper power structures that may lie behind the recent and tragic
bombings in Volgograd. Mr. Corbett speculates that the bombings may be connected to Russia's support for the Assad Regime in Syria and points to the rather interesting statement from Prince Bandar Bin Sultan to Vladimir Putin last August, where he claimed Saudi Intelligence controlled Chechen terrorist groups and that he could protect the Olympics from them, in return for a compromise over Syria.
It's interesting that whilst Russia Today did
not directly raise the possibility of a foreign state being involved in the bombings, by inviting James Corbett on the show they basically ensured that it
would be brought up! Given this is his specialist area it's hard to
imagine this wasn't intentional.
1. The transcript of the full conversation is availible at -
The BBC recently aired a Panorama documentary where they sent an
undercover worker into an Amazon distribution centre in Wales. They
discovered that all the things we've been hearing about Amazon
recently are true; they treat their staff appallingly, their working
conditions are likely to lead to both physical and mental stress and staff can be sacked for not meeting impossibly high targets or just so
Amazon can avoid paying benefits full time workers are entitled to.
But here's something I didn't know about Amazon, in addition to not
paying taxes they receive millions of pounds of handouts from the
British taxpayer. The Scottish Government gave Amazon a handout of
6.8million pounds on the promise they would create 1700 jobs. Not to
be outdone, the Welsh Government gave them 8.8million and built them
their own road ('Ffordd Amazon' – 'Amazon Way') for another
4.9million for 1200 jobs in Swansea. I'm not sure if they've
considered that Amazon are almost certainly destroying more jobs in
bookshops and other retail outlets overall than they're creating, I'd be very surprised if this drive to greater efficiency created jobs overall.
The Libertarian philosopher Roderick T. Long argues
that in addition to the well know concept of 'economics of scale',
there are also 'dis-economics of scale', problems that arise when
corporations get too big. He argues that allot of the super large
corporations that we see today are not a product of the free market
but rather they come about due to the way the State interferes with
the market. Amazon would seem to be an example of this. I wouldn't
mind the loss of the local bookshops if it really was more efficient
just to purchase books online, but it actually might not be as
Amazon's low prices must in some part come from their tax advantage
and the social welfare cheques they receive.
Here's the Panorama documentary in full -
And here's a link to a talk by Roderick Long on how market forces act to limit the size businesses can grow to and how State intervention is usually needed to overcome this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4hjO1ak4_M

The
Journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology has retracted the now famous
'Seralini study' which linked the consumption of GMO foods with the
development of tumours in rats, and gave us the horrible pictures
above. The journal would like to make it clear that this retraction
is in no way related to the recent appointment of ex-Monsanto
employee Richard E. Goodman to the newly created position of
'Associate Editor for Biotechnology'. No connection at all. Neither
was the paper retracted on the grounds of methodological errors
however, merely on the grounds of its 'inconclusive' nature.
To
google 'Seralini' or something like 'GMO rats tumours', you'd be
forgiven for thinking that this was the most debunked scientific
paper of all time. According to geopolitical analyst and GMO
researcher F. William Engdahl however, Dr. Seralini's study is
weathering the storm it's kicked up just fine. All the criticisms
made of it regarding its length of duration and sample sizes apply
equally and more so to Monsanto's studies showing GMO's to be safe. And that's an amazing fact in itself, all studies show GMO's to be
safe are sponsored by the GMO industry itself!
James
Corbett has produced a brief and comprehensive video summarising this
latest aspect of the controversy.
James
Corbett has composed this four minute video on the very interesting
and unlikely life of Lee Harvey Oswald, the most well connected 'lone
nut' there ever was.
He's also
made this longer and comprehensive video – 'Meet Lee Harvey Oswald,
Sheep-Dipped Patsy'. Sheep-Dipping is when a military or
intelligence agent is given a civilian identity to continue their
work after an apparent discharge. This would explain allot of the inconsistencies surrounding Oswald's life.

Good news
doesn't sell, and it's strange how little we hear about the overall
decrease in world poverty that has taken place over the last twenty
years. In this Learn Liberty video, Professor Stephen Davies
explains how this has come about through an increase in that much
derided concept of free trade.
Probably
the majority of references I come across to free trade cast it in a
negative light, I'm sure not without reason. But in principal at
least, it must be the case that not restricting people from
exchanging goods freely by drawing artificial lines in the sand must
be a good thing mustn't it?
It's
amazing to think that we're only ever about fifty years away from the
complete eradication of global poverty, if we choose that path.

For years I've been
seeing these horrendous reports and videos coming out of the USA of
police abusing their power. Breaking into peoples homes, shooting
pet dogs and preforming strip and cavity searches on innocent people
by the road side. The suggestion accompanying these is usually that
America is descending into being a fascist police state. Whist for
many reasons over the past dozen years it has certainly appeared that
way, I'm always also wondering if these kind of things have always
gone on, it's just now everyone carries a camera around with them and
abusive incidents find there way on to youtube, so we're all more
aware of it.
Well according to
lawyer and author John Whitehead the answer is no, these kind of
abuses have vastly increased in recent years, as the police have been
militarised there's been a three thousand percent increase in swat
team raids since the early 1980's. These can result in innocent
people, and even children, being murdered in their own homes. In
this interview with Tom Wood's, Mr. Whitehead details some of the
more extreme examples he's come across, including one of a man who
was committed to a mental institution for writing anti-Obama posts on
Facebook! He also questions why exactly the Department of Homeland
Security have felt the need recently to buy over one billion hollow
point bullets. Scary stuff indeed.

Roger Stone is a
political strategist for the Republican party who worked on the
Presidential campaigns of Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and both of the
Bush's. He was at the centre of the infamous incident in Florida in
the year 2000, preventing the recount that could have seen Al Gore
elected President. He spent thirty years at the heart of the
American political establishment and has just authored a book
claiming that Lyndon B. Johnson was the central figure in the plot to
kill John F. Kennedy.
Whilst no one could
accuse Mr. Stone of being a particularly honest or trustworthy man
(just watch the interview to see why), given his position his views
on the assassination of John F. Kennedy are certainly worth listening
to. His frank admissions of the dirty tricks that go on in U.S.
Presidential elections is also eye opening to say the least!
