Boycotts, The Worlds Only Recourse?

“Boycotts: How to regain public control the United States of America”

When I joined the fray of political interest one of the things I soon decided to work for was “To bring an end to professional politics”. I’ve added to my personal cause, “Ending the monetary system”. They go hand in hand. They’re all but synonymous. At least symbiotic, as one created, supports and effects the other.

The Bill of Rights Was Meant to Limit Federal Power The Vision of the Founders: Dead and Gone

In 2008, the Supreme Court of the United States decided Kennedy v. Louisiana. In that decision, the Court created a new categorical right to rape a child without receiving the death penalty.

The Court majority claimed that its decision reflected a new societal consensus, despite the fact that six… Continue

Holocaust Survivor Talks About Obama's Peace Prize

It's strange to see President Obama accepting a Peace Prize as he escalates a war.

As a Holocaust survivor whose parents perished at Auschwitz in 1942, I know all too well what war looks like. I also know what peace looks like and I can tell you this: Sending 30,000 more U.S. troops to fight in one of the poorest countries in the world, Afghanistan, is not making peace.

As President Obama accepts a Peace Prize he does not deserve, it's a good time to model what real… Continue
