Garet Garrett, the Great Post Date: 2023-02-02 22:51:30 by Charles_Byrd

Its time for liberty lovers to (re)acquaint themselves with Garet Garrett, a prolific voice of the Old Right. Its not that everything the largely homeschooled farm boy wrote was right he reconciled himself to the Federal Reserve, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and some restrictions on trade and immigration but that what his unsanctioned voice got right, especially about the New Deal, was analytically powerful, yet largely forgotten today. Thats unfortunate, because todays Great Reset repeats many of the same patterns of authoritarian control that Garrett identified and excoriated. Biography, like history more generally, can contain ...

90 Seconds to Midnight according to the Doomsday Clock. The Nobel Peace Laureates are casually blaming Russia, without recalling the history of nuclear war, not to mention Joe Bidens 1.3 trillion dollar program to develop more usable, low intensity preemptive nuclear weapons to be used on a first strike basis against both nuclear and non nuclear states as a means of self defense. Let us recall the history of the doomsday scenario which was part of Americas Manhattan project launched in 1939 with the support of Britain and Canada. Click for Full Text!
When a Classical Liberal Confronted Nazi Terror Post Date: 2023-01-31 19:01:08 by Charles_Byrd

Ninety years ago, Adolf Hitler was sworn into office as Chancellor of Germany. January 30, 1933, would be henceforth regarded by Germanys National Socialists as the Machtergreifung: the day that the Nazis seized power and began consigning the Weimar Republic to its grave. Hitler never made any secret of his intention to strike against those he saw as his enemies once his grip on power had been consolidated. It was thus at considerable personal risk that a young German economics professor delivered a public lecture in Frankfurt am Main, just eight days after Hitler took office, in which he made clear his opposition to the new government.

An article appeared on January 20th, 2023, touching upon the assault on the Reconciliation monument in Arlington National Cemetery. The monument has been labeled as Confederate and therefore resides in the cross-hairs of the present Woke Nation. Author Allen Brownfeld entitled the piece: Removing the Confederate Memorial From Arlington: What Would Lincoln or Grant Think? Of course, the contretemps about the effort by the vandals of WOKE to remove any and all Confederate along with other American cultural monuments is nothing new. Perhaps the newest thing about this one though there had been earlier intimations on the matter is the ...
From MLK to CRT Post Date: 2023-01-21 06:37:36 by Charles_Byrd

Nearly a decade into what has been called The Great Awokening, fanatical racial wokeness shows little signs of abating. The pieties of critical race theory (CRT), which we are told is not being taught anywhere, are now authoritative. Everything is racist. Its never the fault of black people. And America can never sufficiently abase itself for the original sin of slavery. To counter the madness, many invoke the moral authority of Martin Luther King, Jr., arguably the most admired person in recent American history. As House Majority leader Kevin McCarthy once explained in an interview: Critical race theory goes against everything Martin Luther King has ...
Martin Luther King and Planned Parenthood Post Date: 2023-01-18 00:02:17 by Charles_Byrd

By the time Martin Luther King Jr. had taken his seat in 1960 on Planned Parenthoods committee on the study of contraception, his views on how artificial birth control could be used to reduce Black family size were well-known throughout the United States. King had been recommended to join the committee by the accomplished and influential Morehouse University sociology professor Walter R. Chivers, who had twice written to his former student (October & November), asking him to become a member. For his part, Chivers had volunteered with the Planned Parenthood Federation of America for sixteen years and vouched for the organizations integrity, honesty, and complete lack of ...
Decline of Empire: Parallels Between the U.S. and Rome, Part II Post Date: 2023-01-17 22:27:22 by Charles_Byrd

Like the Romans, were supposedly ruled by laws, not by men. In Rome, the law started with the 12 Tablets in 451 BCE, with few dictates and simple enough to be inscribed on bronze for all to see. A separate body of common law developed from trials, held sometimes in the Forum, sometimes in the Senate. When the law was short and simple, the saying Ignorantia juris non excusat (ignorance of the law is no excuse) made sense. But as the government and its legislation became more ponderous, the saying became increasingly ridiculous. Eventually, under Diocletian, law became completely arbitrary, with everything done by the emperors decreeswe call them Executive ...
The Gulag Archipelago 50 years later– reassessing one of the greatest works of literary realism Post Date: 2023-01-15 18:34:51 by Charles_Byrd

Alexander Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008) was one of the most notable Russian authors of the 20th century, having written perhaps the greatest nonfiction book of his time. His magnum opus, The Gulag Archipelago (1973) is a riveting chronicle of Solzhenitsyns enduring punishment by Soviet Communism in the harshest prison system on the planet. It contains records of 227 other individuals who suffered in the Gulag and provides interviews, reports, letters and memoirs that vividly describe the horrors endured by prisoners. Most prisoners, including Solzhenitsyn were branded as enemies of the state, with many having been former Soviet government officials or military. Solzhenitsyn was himself a ...

He accuses the other side of playing this game, but there are not many conservatives who have spilled as much ink on the topic as Anton in the last couple of years. I had it out with him in 2021. Now, he has directed his fire at others who are questioning the underpinnings of the West Coast Straussian view of the American founding. Click for Full Text!
Rome's Runaway Inflation: Currency Devaluation in the Fourth and Fifth Centuries Post Date: 2023-01-05 23:20:16 by Charles_Byrd

By the beginning of the fourth century, the Roman Empire had become a completely different economic reality from what it had been at the beginning of the first century. The denarius argenteus, the empires monetary unit during the first two centuries, had virtually disappeared since the middle of the third century, having been replaced by the argenteus antoninianus and the argenteus aurelianianus, numerals of greater theoretical value, but of less and less real value. The public excesses in the civil and military budgets, the incessant bribes and gifts, the repeated tax increases, the growth of the state bureaucracy, and the continuous requisitions of goods and precious metals had ...
Woodrow Wilson's Christmas Grift of 1913 Post Date: 2022-12-26 23:03:59 by Charles_Byrd

We think of thieves as conducting their work when no one is looking, such as breaking into a house while the owners are away. But the most successful thieves have done their stealing in plain sight, on a grand scale, while the owners were home and often with their tacit approval, though with sleights of hand that few are able to detect. Such a theft occurred when Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law on December 23, 1913. A central bank such as the Fed has a remarkable character. According to establishment boilerplate, its purpose is to stabilize the economy and ensure prosperity and full employment. The decision makers at the Fed are of necessity selected for ...

On December 9, 1958, Robert Welch of Belmont, Massachusetts, gathered eleven successful and patriotic men in a quiet Indianapolis home to announce that he would forego retiring and dedicate the rest of his life to fighting the tyrannical forces trying to destroy America and establish a one-world totalitarian government. To do this, he was going to create an organization unlike any other. He wanted to know if theyd join him. That was the birth of The John Birch Society. Click for Full Text!
The Origins of the Federal Reserve Post Date: 2022-12-26 21:51:26 by Charles_Byrd

Where did this thing called the Fed come from? Murray Rothbard has the answer here in phenomenal detail that will make your head spin. In one extended essay, one that reads like a detective story, he has put together the most comprehensive and fascinating account based on a century's accumulation of scholarship. The conclusion is that the Fed did not originate as a policy response to national need. It wasn't erected for any of its stated purposes. It was founded by two groups of elites: government officials and large financial and banking interests. Rothbard adds a third critical element: economists hired to give the scheme a scientific patina. Click for Full Text!

While most people have never heard his name today, Founding Father John Dickinson was famous at the time of the Revolution. In 1767, he authored the 12 Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania in response to the hated Townshend Acts. These essays quickly became the most widely-read documents on American liberty, and remained that way for years until the publication of Thomas Paines Common Sense in 1776. Click for Full Text!
Grover Cleveland Presented the Best Example of a True Liberal Populist Post Date: 2022-12-22 16:23:34 by Charles_Byrd

Six years after the election of Donald Trump, the Republican Party is still adrift. On the one hand, the GOP has embraced an antiestablishment and populist message. On the other hand, Republicans have not quite figured out how to balance populism with classically liberal values like constitutionalism and free markets. Indeed, populism and classical liberalism seem to be in direct conflict. Questions remain about how Republican populists will regulate (or not regulate) Big Tech, how they will protect blue-collar jobs without limiting economic freedom, and how they will push back against political elites without destroying vital institutions.

Aristotle did, however, win fame in Athens. He was bornin Macedonia in 384 B.C.E. At the age of 17, he moved to Athens and enrolled as a student in Platos Academy. Aristotle always paid tribute to his teacher, although Aristotle took a very different intellectual direction from Plato. Click for Full Text!
Crystal-Clear Vision – The Ancient History of Eyeglasses Post Date: 2022-12-18 16:26:31 by Charles_Byrd

Eyeglasses are an essential tool for thousands of people across the globe. Unfortunately, glasses didnt always exist, which caused difficulties for those in the ancient past with poor vision. However, the Romans made significant steps towards the correction of vision problems when they discovered that different thicknesses of glass could cause changes in clarity when looking through them. Because of this discovery, eye health has advanced, first from glasses to contacts and now from eyewear to surgical options such as LASIK. The road from the first creation of glasses to modern ophthalmology was a long one. In this article, were going to look into the past to see just how far ...

Some Aussie Songs Against the Wars Post Date: 2022-12-14 19:46:17 by Charles_Byrd

Music can be powerful, possessing the ability to conjure emotion in a few minutes what an essay never could. Australia has a rich history of talented singers, writers, and performers creating music that is unique to the sunburned continent. Australia also has a rebel culture, hidden in plain sight. Founded by reluctant prisoners, enthusiastic adventurers, and those escaping their birth land to call Aboriginal land their home, with a history of empire and defiance, the music can reflect this combination, none more than in the songs against war. Few songs express the sorrow felt by soldiers when they return as well as Redgums I Was Only 19. Click for Full Text!

Comprehensive research has shown not only that Washington knew in advance of the attack on Pearl Harbor, but that it deliberately withheld its foreknowledge from our commanders in Hawaii in the hope that the surprise attack would catapult the U.S. into World War II. On Sunday, December 7, 1941, Japan launched a sneak attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, shattering the peace of a beautiful Hawaiian morning and leaving much of the fleet broken and burning. The destruction and death that the Japanese military visited upon Pearl Harbor that day 18 naval vessels (including eight battleships) sunk or heavily damaged, 188 planes destroyed, over 2,000 servicemen ...
The Counterrevolution Against the Constitution Post Date: 2022-12-06 22:12:46 by Charles_Byrd

The United States Constitution endows Congress -- not the executive branch -- with overriding responsibility for both foreign and domestic policy. But Congress has unilaterally surrendered its constitutional primacy to the President on an installment plan for more than a century. Without constitutional amendments, the President is currently de facto crowned with virtually limitless power eclipsing the authorities of British King George III which provoked the American Revolution. This counterrevolution against the Constitution was born in pursuit of an American empire (initially begun under the banner of Manifest Destiny) in lieu of the American Republic ordained by the ...
