General Talk
July 12 podcast: I can has article link?
Does anyone have a link to an article or footage from the interview about the IRS and foreign bank account customers? I've been googling and haven't found it yet.
Change we can believe in...
From ANTIWAR.com:
A US drone fired two missiles at a suspected militant compound in South Waziristan today, killing at least five and wounding an unknown number of others. The attack was the latest in a string of US strikes on the restive Pakistani agency which have killed nearly 100 in the past seven days.
A Warning To The People Of The US About Universal Healthcare
People should remember there is a distinction between universal healthcare & state run healthcare. I'm sure Gard will explain the economic flaws to single tax paying point of entry state run universal healthcare the kind of healthcare we have here in Britain. But there's something else to in regards to state run healthcare other then the economic flaws, which is that rather then state universal healthcare delivering services where needed services are delivered according to political expediency.
Should These Guys Of Been Sent To Prison?
Pair jailed for web race crimes
I'm not going to bleat on about free speech for one I'm just going to ask shhould these guys of bveen jailed?
Not sure if this goes here, but I has a problem
I recently became a cabal member, and I can't find Gard's email address to take care of what needs care taken. (Also, it was very tempting to dangle a preposition there.)
Are Small Govt Libertarians Statists? Exploring the CABAL Pod of 7-7-09
I wanted to open this one up for you all, because I find the debate very interesting, although it can be contentious. As you might have heard, Scott McPherson sent me a copy of a piece he wrote in response to a post at LewRockwell.com. In the original post, by Steve Kinsella, it was pretty much flushed out that small government libertarians should take the final step away from the state, and support total freedom. I agree philosophically, though in our current struggles, I am perfectly comfortable working with small government folks to at least reduce the size and scope of government, even while I try to convince them of the logical and ethical consistency of anarchy.

Obama to help bring 'freedom of speech' to Iran...
http://news.antiwar.com/2009/06/26/obama-moves-to-fund-iranian-dissidents/
Check out the political rhetoric from USA today:
Asked how the democracy promotion initiatives square with the president's statement, White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said, "Let's be clear: The United States does not fund any movement, faction or political party in Iran. We support ... universal principles of human rights, freedom of speech, and rule of law."

ARGH! Didn't these monkeys learn NOTHING from Iraq?!!
The Lakota secession

Spooner's Perspective on Freedom and Religion
I read this article the other day, written by Murray Rothbard about Lysander Spooner.
http://tr.im/oiRw
This article details the differences between Republican's and the Democrats of Spooner's day, and why Spooner thought and acted the way he did.
This directly ties in with the conversation between Gard and myself that was podcast on 12 June 2009.
Also, I have tried ot model my appearance after lysander spooner, and will update my photo as soon as I can get a suitable side by side comparison of me and Spooner.
I'd appreciate your feedback.
My Pet fish
Yesterday my pet, a Japanese Fighting Fish died. His name was Ronald (a.k.a. The Swimming Ronald). He was named after my friend Ronald Levine (a.k.a. The Walking Ronald). He lived almost a year in various spaghetti jars, and finally resided in a half gallon jar which had formely housed some delicious artichoke hearts.
Today is a new day, and I'm very glad to have a beautiful new Japanese Fighting Fish. My children and I have named him.
His name is MOTHYSPACE.
I shall post a photo at the earliest opportunity.
Catholic church 'found out' yet again...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8060442.stm
Absolutely sickening.
To be honest, in terms of disdain, I draw a very thin line between organised religion and organised politics...
From the voluntaryist POV, I am not convinced that all participants in organised religion are voluntarily involved. Emotional and 'spiritual' coercion is often even more effective than physical coercion or 'gun in the room' tactics.
Feck, what has the 'gun in the room' got on 'firey hellfire in the room'?!

Against the Grain archives request
I remember a while back that I posted a link to old against the grain archives. I was going to start downloading and burning these recordings for posterity. However, I can't find the link. So, if you know where to go, please point me in the right direction, and I will try my best to download and burn these for posterity.
I appear on a few of the broadcasts from the WNTK days.
National March For Jobs
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8053083.stm
No wonder why people from Birmingham sound so miserable they haven't figured out that its not the government's job to safeguard jobs.
This is a prime exanple as to the mentality which libertarians are faced with in this country...people always looking too government for answers.
