Shrink the State. End the Fed. Balance the budget. Make a profit. Leave an inheritance.

B. K. Marcus Was the Statue of Liberty a gift from the people of France? That’s the official story, even more than a century later. The statue, which was dedicated in 1886, is maintained by the National Park Service, whose website makes the claim so many of us learned in school: “The Statue of Liberty […]

The last bastion has fallen. The last hold-out is no longer holding out. North Korea now allows collective farms to lease land to peasants. The peasants pay 30% of the crop to the collective. This is sharecropping. This is what the USA had in the South after 1865. This is a move to capitalism. We […]

Rev. Jim Wallis, the far Left, self-styled evangelical for high taxes on the rich, wealth-redistribution, endless federal programs, and all in the name of Jesus, has once again proven that he is the master of guilt-manipulation. He cries out against white Christians’ acceptance of the jury’s decision in the Zimmerman trial. The prosecution failed, he […]

Around the world, half a dozen cybercurrency sites were shut down last week. The URL addresses of the sites have been changed. All attempts to get into them by investors have been blocked. The site addresses have been re-routed. The new site address owner is refusing to say what is going on. It is obvious […]

Gary North’s Reality Check I wrote a critique of Leftist commentator James Howard Kuntsler, who praises local government action to make it illegal to open a Walmart store or any other “big box” store, as he calls them. You can read my critique here: http://www.garynorth.com/public/10717.cfm Kunstler has coined a phrase to describe Tea Party supporters: […]

Gary North’s Reality Check My objection to Kunstler begins with the title of his website. I choose not to repeat it here. You can click through. http://www.kunstler.com/index.php He is a Leftist. He is a foul-mouthed Leftist. But the main problem with Kunstler is not that he is one more Leftist critic of the free market. […]

The union that tried to create problems for Walmart in the Thanksgiving sales failed miserably. There were pickets at 26 stores nationally. It was a complete flop. Now the National Labor Relations Board has ordered the union to cease picketing. This means that the picketing was illegal after all, just as Walmart had claimed in […]

“The owl of Minerva flies only at dusk.” I came across that phrase many times over 45 years ago, when I was writing my first book, Marx’s Religion of Revolution (1968). (You can download it for free here.) What does it mean? Wikipedia explains. The nineteenth-century idealist philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel famously noted that […]

If you get rich in China, you get out. The elderly Communists who run the country are tyrants. If you get enough money to flee, you flee. About 150,000 wealthy Chinese have flown the coop this year. Their #1 destination: the USA. Who can blame them, other than elderly Communist tyrants? Technically, these people can […]

America’s wars in the Middle East have resulted in the widespread persecution of Christians in the region. When George W. Bush called America’s response to September 11 a crusade, this revived memories of medieval invasions. Islamic nations are the main persecutors, but some regions in India have also joined in. This strategy has limits in this […]
