Freedom? In MY America? I don't believe it.

Quickly becoming the most searched economist. Excellent news.

In other words, if a farmer from 23 centuries ago had sold a quart of barley, he would have received 0.171 grams of silver.

Fast forward to today and that 0.171 grams of silver would buy almost the exact same amount of grain as it did 23 centuries ago.

When the paper speculators are out of the market, it still fulfills it's primary purpose: being a good store of value.

Using the "need" for a border guard as the excuse.

...we want the Islamic state to rule the place forever.

Great new piece by Cockburn. Just lays it out how it's US policy once more to side with AQ.

Because it would work out as well as all other central planning schemes run by fatasses.

Thanks to their city monopoly water system. The market is the only refuge, as usual.

It's so liberal

The Hitlerization is complete. I am now 100% sure that nothing whatsoever is required to stop Daesh -- this ideology is so poisonous it is self-liquidating.

Let in immigrants, so that your society too can become Iraq.

If you have a drone that weighs more than 0.55 pounds but less than 55 pounds (total flying weight including anything it’s carrying), you must register it. It’s now the law. Lighter drones don’t have to register at all, and heavier ones (as well as drones for commercial use) are registered through a separate process involving paper (ugh).

That people are putting up with this shit at all is amazing. I hope compliance approaches 0.

The real story here is that the British Gov't is selling off their IP space, and likely grafting the whole way.

The better to position their daggers, methinks.

I just liked the communist dangling post-scarcity.

Hopefully it measures up. I remember sitting in theaters as a kid hearing everyone cheering when the aliens vaporized the white house.

Meanwhile, NATO is probably pleased as punch, since they're always looking to put NAZIs into power everywhere. This seemed like token opposition rather than the real venom you'd expect if they were planning a coup to "right" things.

Pretty much sums up the attitude of the idiots that buy the Army Recruiter lies. Hoo Haa until it's too late.

Y'know because they don't pal around with mafiosi states enough already.

Just like last time with the Red Baiting, no special effort needs to be taken to invade and forcibly pacify those holding these poisonous ideologies. Letting them be to stew in said ideology's fruits will liquidate their experiment in authoritarianism quicker than any amount of bombs can.

That said there are forces for good in Islam; Muslims4Liberty and the Quranists in particular are pretty good in my book. I haven't encountered too many commies for liberty, in contrast.

All this being said, "Reliance of the Traveller" and other mainstream shariah doctrine are thoroughly illiberal. The doctrine that the later works (when Mohammed was a warlord) are "better" than his peaceful earlier works (which are more plausibly divinely inspired) has been fertilizer for oriental despotism.

It should be #1.

Metal shavings clogging up your oil filter? Sounds like a 60s Camaro.

The fruits of Libya and Syria are obvious even to the Trump. Of course, he'd like to kill millions rather than hundreds of thousands.

About time, anyone with a brain in their head and eyes to see could have figured that one out. Doesn't mean they'll stop lying, just that they admit they are.

Permanently high balance sheet considered a "tool" like the USG uses permanently unpayable debt. These idiots painted themselves into a corner long, long ago.
