Voluntaryist; financial trader; computer scientist; linguist. I'm not here just to "question authority," I'm here to deny the legitimacy of its very existence! The state is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The bigger, more powerful, and more authoritarian the state, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success.

_Leftists Are Trying To Cover Up Murder of Ukrainian Refugee, Delete Story From Wikipedia_ The left does not want to debate reality. It wants to create a fictional version of it that supports its narratives.

"It wasn't 'criminal'! There was no law on the books against it!" ~ Some random troll Slavery was criminal, even when it was legal. Not just because it was against the law in one jurisdiction, but legal in another, but because criminality is not determined solely by what nominal laws are officially "on the books" in a particular jurisdiction, but by ethical principles. That principle was the entire premise of the Nuremberg trials, and also of the very existence of "international law."

_NPR, PBS Funder to Shut Down Following Trump Cuts_ Both PBS and NPR have defended their receipt of federal funding by emphasizing that it constitutes a relatively small portion of their overall budgets. But it's apparently enough to be a deciding factor for whether or not they can afford to operate. They can't have it both ways. And even if they could, it wouldn't change the fact that they have NO RIGHT to taxpayer funds—even were it not the case that such a huge number of taxpayers do not want to pay for their services. More fundamentally, the Federal government has NO BUSINESS funding ANY source of news and/or opinion. for the same reason it has no business funding churches and/or religions. FTA: Public broadcasting may fade away in January after federal budget cuts snapped its government handout. Last month, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting saw its $500 million federal subsidy end as Congress approved a recissions package that originated with President Donald Trump. As a result, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting said that in January, NPR, PBS, and local public radio and TV stations are at risk of going dark.

_New Evidence Ties Soros Foundation to Russiagate, Top Official Actively Involved - Report_ FTA: A new report based on a formerly classified document says that a top player on the George Soros network knew about the Russiagate hoax in its infancy. On Thursday, Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa released a declassified version of an appendix to a report written by former special counsel John Durham, who investigated the shadowy beginnings of the debunked narrative that Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign was colluding with Russia. The website Just the News dug into the pages to glean that Leonard Benardo, an official with George Soros’s Open Society Foundation, and Julianne Smith, a foreign policy adviser to 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, were knee-deep in the developing stage of smearing Trump, with one communication appearing to acknowledge that the FBI was there to help.

Even economic sanctions are acts of war. Just ask Japan in 1941. No clause of the Constitution says anything that can fairly be interpreted as equivalent to "The United States shall not commit any acts of war without pre-approval by Congress." Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 grants Congress the sole power to “declare War,” but the Constitution does not define “war” or specify if all hostile, aggressive or violent military actions qualify as acts requiring pre-approval by Congress. Historical precedent shows that Presidents have authorized military strikes without congressional declaration, such as Jefferson’s 1801 Barbary War actions and Reagan’s 1986 Libya strike—among many others. Massie should put his money where his mouth is, and get Congress to vote against war with Iran, or at least sue the administration based on his interpretation of the Constitution (of course, he wouldn't have standing to sue, unless and until Congress votes no.) image
