In my town, they – the corporate throngs – travel almost in unison every morning and every night, making their ways from the manicured suburbs to the shiny parts of the central city, and then back again. They’re not particularly bad people, you understand. In fact, some of them are pleasant and smart. But they ...

As I’ve said previously in many places, the Internet was a surprise to the rulers of the world, and a cold, painful surprise. Before the Internet, information was very well controlled and kept inside of fixed bounds. In other words, most information remained in controlled channels, most of the time. Other information flows could be ...

It happened in Athens, it happened in ...

Let me start with numbered points for clarity: We live in an age featuring gigantic governments whose control of everyone and everything far exceeds the dreams of any Caesar. We also live in an age of communication, where the emperor’s stupidity can be seen and ridiculed. And even with ‘democracy’ deflecting the emperor’s blame back ...

This is important. S. 1867 – THE NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2012 This act has passed Congress and been approved by the Senate. What follows (separated by my comments) are verbatim passages from Sections 1032 and 1033 of this bill: Congress affirms that the authority of the President to use all necessary ...

In the November issue of Free-Man’s Perspective, I gave two specific examples of overblown fears that are relentlessly imposed upon the people of the West. One involved kidnapping statistics (99% illusion) and the other involved disaster deaths (massively down). The modern, all-pervasive media world is a fear soup, and we all swim in it, unless ...

I am not a video gamer, but in my experience video gaming is undertaken mostly by boys. However, if I’m mistaken, or if you have a niece who likes gaming, add her to the list. For the first time in my life, I’m about to recommend a computer game. As I say, I’m no fan, ...
