Doug Casey Refutes Common Hesitations to Internationalize

“Tell a person that it’s a big beautiful world, full of fresh opportunities and a sense of freedom that is just not available by staying put and you will inevitably be treated to a litany of reasons why expanding your life into more than one country just isn’t practical. Let’s consider some of those commonly stated reasons, and why they might be unjustified. While largely directed at Americans, these are also applicable to pretty much anyone from any country.” Continue reading →

The Trusting Soul Who Tipped Off the Boston Invaders

“A man in Watertown, Massachusetts noticed something odd. It seemed as though his backyard boat had been disturbed. He tipped off the government. The various governments, which had locked down Boston in a vain attempt to find a missing teenager, sent troops into his back yard. They shot up his boat. Let’s understand causation. The authorities locked down the city. They put the locals in Watertown under house arrest. They invaded their homes. They found nothing. It took a tip from a citizen for the armed troops to locate the kid. What did the informant get for his trouble? A destroyed boat.” Continue reading →

Second-Grade Teacher Suspended for Showing Children Garden Tools

“Yes, my friends, a 17-year teaching veteran did it. He showed garden tools to his class. It’s incredible. He actually showed them tools. That’s right. He got out a box of tools. There was a pair of pliers. There was a screwdriver. But the school’s authorities knew this was a cover. He showed the children a pocket knife. What kind of tool is that? What can a knife do that a pair of hedge clippers can’t do a lot better? So, he was suspended for four days without pay. The public schools are determined to protect children. They should not be shown a knife at age 7. Condoms, yes. That’s different. But not knives.” Continue reading →

Yemeni activist condemns ‘terror’ of drone strikes in emotional speech to senators

“‘In the past, what Wessab villagers knew of the U.S. was based on my stories about my wonderful experiences here. The friendships and values I experienced and described to the villagers helped them understand the America that I know and that I love. Now, however, when they think of America they think of the terror they feel from the drones that hover over their heads ready to fire missiles at any time.’ Al-Muslimi described drone strikes as the ‘face of America’ in Yemen and warned they were creating anti-American sentiment. He gruesomely described how civilians were often killed by drone strikes on small villages.” Continue reading →

Napolitano, Graham: U.S. needs more technological entry and exit controls

“US authorities missed Tsarnaev’s trip because his name was misspelled in the system, possibly on a plane ticket. Napolitano acknowledged ‘there was a mismatch there,’ adding that an immigration reform bill now under consideration would cut down on such problems by requiring passports to be readable electronically. It was not immediately clear whether Tsarnaev’s departure set off a government alert because he was on a terror watchlist or on a broader, central repository of some 500,000 names, known as the TIDE database, maintained by the National Counterterrorism Center.” Continue reading →

Republican trio push to militarize U.S. response to domestic terrorism

“Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham (SC), John McCain (AZ), and Kelly Ayotte (NH) lashed out at liberals and libertarians on Tuesday, claiming it was dangerous to oppose the notion the United States was a ‘battlefield.’ Speaking on the Senate floor, the three Republicans said the government should expand the definition of an enemy combatant to include any domestic terrorists inspired by ‘radical Islam.’ They said Tsarnaev should be interrogated as an enemy combatant before being transferred to the civilian justice system, despite the fact he is an American citizen.” Continue reading →

Rand Paul’s reversal: I don’t care if a drone kills a liquor store robber with $50 in cash

“Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who filibustered for 13 hours in March 2013 against the idea of using military drone technology against U.S. citizens, said he supported them being used against criminal suspects in an interview with Fox Business Channel on Monday. ‘I have never argued against any technology being used against having an imminent threat, [or] an act of crime going on,’ Paul said, referring to Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. ‘If someone comes out of a liquor store with a weapon and 50 dollars in cash I don’t care if a Drone kills him or a policeman kills him.'” Continue reading →
