The Younger Generation’s Expectations of Politics
After reading Alan Holmes’ piece on reaction to the State of the Union address, I found it fitting to respond to offer a clear contrast. Any objective party would agree that the President’s soft words and patriotic rhetoric were a welcomed change to the Republican narrative that has dominated the political landscape in the last few…

Séjour Européen and the Questioning of Tyranny in 2011
Alas, another trip to the main European continent for knowledge, truth, love, and beauty. I will be on the front lines of the Euro crisis, as I broadcast Liberty In Exile on the airwaves and maintain the 21st Century Anti-Imperialist League on the internets. As always, updates and stories will be provided, and the fun…
Afghanistan: The Graveyard of Empires
(Originally posted on the 21st Century Anti-Imperialist League page) Because the media of this day and age consistently extol the virtues of short memory spans, it is necessary for the newly-crowned Anti-Imperialist League of the 21st century to revisit history and teach the lessons so often forgotten in historiography. Afghanistan has, for over a century and a…
Une Leçon Importante Pour Les Étatistes au Canada
Quand nous entrons dans une conversation politique au Québec, la loi suprême dicte qu’il y a une limite des idéologies qui sont tolérées. D’habitude, chaque argument pour ou contre une politique spécifique se fonde sur un paradigme étatique. Pour ceux qui dirigent le récit, cela est tout à fait normal. Mais il y a des…
My New Life in RSS Information Management
I have always been an individual both surrounded and fascinated by information. For the past 10 years, I have used the internet, books, magazines, newspapers, and television programs to craft my vision and understanding of the world. Before I was able to travel throughout so many beautiful European countries, I was merely a man informed by written…

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Yaël
From a very early age, children are taught that the American justice system is the fairest and most accessible in the world. This is to be contrasted with the endless examples of banana republics and kangaroo courts offered abroad, which promise nothing but corruption, injustice, and arbitrary rule of law. In the United States of…
Giving Thanks for the TSA This Holiday Season
As Thanksgiving holiday approaches, Americans across the continent are preparing for quaint family gatherings, mountains of extra calories, and thousands of miles of long-distance travel. If the events of the past year are any indication, they should also prepare for the cold, unforgiving blue-latex hands of Transportation Security Administration agents. According to the Air Transport…

Penn Jillette: I don’t know, so I’m an atheist libertarian
Penn Jillette: I don’t know, so I’m an atheist libertarian coeus: Last week I was interviewed for Piers Morgan’s show (which used to be Larry King’s show). Piers beat me up a bit for being an atheist (that’s his job) and then beat me up a bit for being a libertarian (also his job). He…

Yet Another Night of Sleep Paralysis
Quite fitting that upon my arrival in North America, after five months of absence, my unfortunate condition of sleep paralysis returns. For those who have been lucky enough to stave off its misfortune, I shall explain it quite simply through my own experiences. Sleep paralysis is a condition which plagues those who have suffered recent bouts of…
The Science of Tipping
The practice of tipping extra for service is an established doctrine in North America, but it is well-known to be absent from any dominant European tradition or custom. This is mostly due to service charges and value-added taxes, which are included in the final price of most products and services across the European continent, as…
Pourquoi la Désintégration du BQ est Avantageux pour un Québec Libre
Cela ne représente pas une dénonciation du mouvement de souveraineté au Québec; plutôt ça décrit l’incessant monopole dont jouissent des idéologues qui ont marié l’idée d’un Québec souverain avec un paradis strictement social-démocrate et uni-culturel. J’aimerais définir comment les buts du BQ sont irréalistes et irresponsables, à la fois économiquement et culturellement, et comment nous…

Why I Will Vote NDP
During the first stage of political consciousness, it is always relatively easy to fall into a “hope trap”—-believing that one single party or candidate will fulfill all ambitions of hope and all malaise of the past will be eradicated in favor of a new order once power is reclaimed. Once reality kicks in, however, that appetite starkly changes. The…
THE REVOLVING DOOR: 22 People Who Went From Wall Street To Washington To Wall Street
(BusinessInsider.com) The list of Wall Streeters who have ended up with government jobs, and vice versa, is long. Some would argue that the incestuous nature of the relationship and the revolving door between Washington and downtown Manhattan is dangerous. Others are glad to have people in the Capitol making decisions about the economy who have…
