Hey,

I spotted this on the Permuted Press forums and thought of you all!

Dave brings up an interesting idea of having protesters at the ready.

They only managed to block 3 million of 25 billion(I'm curious where this number came from).  And I wonder why this article also didn't discuss how much money was spent on preventing 3 million from going to Mexico.

Before I get into my question, I just wanted to say thanks for putting out yet another great series.  I started listening to the Conspiracy back in August when I first heard about it on FTL (which I also started listening to in August).  I finally joined the Cabal a couple days ago.  Three dollars a month for a great podcast is well worth it IMO.  Thanks!

Ben Bernanke is Time magazine's Person of the Year.  According to Time, "The story of the year was a weak economy that could have been much, much weaker. Thank the man who runs the Federal Reserve, our mild-mannered economic overlord."

First Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize, now this.

Hello all.  I'm a newbie here, having been recently turned onto the site by co-conspirator LysanderSpooner.  So far I've been a lurker, but I thought I'd solicit your thoughts on this "Critiques of Libertarianism" (http://world.std.com/~mhuben/faq.html).  Have any of you seen this guy Mike Huben before?  He offers many so-called refutations of libertarianism, and I'm trying to come up with some refutations to his refutations.

Thanks, stevo

Just a quick message to say sorry I haven't been around in a bit.

I've been working hard on the old writing, and should have some wonderful news on that front to announce real soon.

Anyway, good to see a few more people join the fun (welcome to the newbies!) and I hope to be around more often, if you will all have me :) 

Cheers!

I remember when I was a kid growing up first in South Africa & then in Britain I wondered why it was that I never saw a South Africa never played England or Australia at Rugby.

Of course back then I didn't know what apartheid was & when I started to understand what apartheid was & how much of an unjust system it was I certainly did support the sporting boycott imposed because of the apartheid regime.

But though I believed apartheid was totally evil as racism generally is, I still secretly wanted the Springbok to take to the rugby field & beat the crap of England. Like Australia; South Africa is a sports mad country & rugby to my family is practically a religion & so it hurt not to be able to compete on the international scene.

Usually when people usually do protests & demonstrations they doing so in some kind of rebellion against authoritarian. Nazis & religious nuts who are authoritarians, but even when they do protesting & demonstrating they're doing so against what they perceive as authoritarianism whether it's cabal of Jewish bankers controlling the world economy or secular governance.

But the protests occurring in Copenhagen, London & elsewhere today are in fact protests purely for more authoritarianism. Yeah these aren't protests against the outcome of the Climate Conference being held in Copenhagen, being too authoritarian but in fact because the outcome is likely not be authoritarian enough.

With the Climate Change conference going on in Copenhagen the BBC has been giving a greater share of programming towards the whole Climate Change debate.

Well to be more specific the BBC has been broadcasting programmes which have been giving all credence towards the argument that Climate Change is man made & that we do this, that & the other to avert it; but where as the BBC has been broadcasting a load of programmes in association with the Copenhagen conference going on, which propagate that Climate Change is man made, there has been no programming to the counter argument that Climate Change isn't man made.

Now this kind of story scares the hell out of me. If they want someone to stay silent all they have to do is bring in child porn allegations and you can look forward to a living hell.

I knew I'd seen a report about gold going to 5000 USD. So i went back through some news feeds and found peter schiff's blog post. He's pretty on the money. Check out his blog! There's another report he did that said that 1200 USD oz is cheap!

The whole idea makes me want to puke!

In the last few weeks there have been many libertarians gloating about revelation that environment scientists might not of been entirely honest about climate change.

Though there's a minority of libertarians who do believe that global warming is man made; the vast majority of libertarians are either sceptical that climate change is man made or that climate changing is happening as dramatically as the scientists claim.

You'll hear many libertarians claim that either climate change is a front for world government or its an excuse for more authoritarian government & I'd say that there is some truth to those claims.
