NATO Mulls Early Afghanistan Withdrawl

There is increasingly the stink of Saigon ’75 in Afghanistan. File this under “Nick Pell was right.”

Russia Warns NATO on Syria

The situation in the Middle East is getting increasingly frightening. Anyone who says otherwise isn’t really paying attention. I admit that some part of me just wants war to break out. The waiting is killing me and I can’t wait to see the Obamaton Army talk about how this is the best foreign invasion ever!

A Call To Arms for the Wealthy to Protect the Right to Vote

Apparently someone in the ruling class believes the plebes should be allowed to have a say.

NYPD Gang Task Force Using Social Media

Interesting, as gang members are often pretty flagrant about their affiliations online. However, being in a gang is not, in and of itself, a crime.

Noam Chomsky Shills for Democrats Again

Anarcho-liberal and frequent Democracy Now! guest Noam Chomsky doing what he does best: Acting as left cover for American imperialism.

David Blaine Will Hopefully Be Electrocuted in the Next 72 Hours

Er, I mean “David Blaine is performing some awesome new public stunt.”

Election 2012

Jerry White on Reddit Tuesday

S0cialist Equality Party candidate Jerry White will be taking question on Reddit. I urge people who vote to vote for White and you should ask questions in this forum whether you plan to vote for him or not.

Liberalism

American Liberals: What Is Your Deal Breaker?

If the discussion on my wall is any indication, the author is right. American liberals have no deal breaker. They will vote for the Democratic Party, acting as active accomplices in the nation’s rightward drift and willing apologists for the worst excesses of the American state, provided that the Republicans are able to find someone subjectively “worse.” Considering the mountains of evidence that Obama is worse than Bush using quantifiable, objective metrics, I’m still confused as to what arguments are being made that Republicans are “worse” other than a liberal distaste for the cultural signals sent.

TL;DR: American liberals have no political principles whatsoever. Gross.

Anarcho-Liberalism: The Worst of Both Worlds

This is a new-to-me article about Naomi Klein-reading, organic-garden planting, social-justice-Tumblr-maintaining “anarcho-liberals.” I’m not sure which bothers me more, this crowd or Democratic Party voters with political Stockholm Syndrome.

Living Under Drones

Speaking of stuff liberals support, here’s a very powerful article about Obama’s drone war in Pakistan.

Rich Libertarians Make for the Sea

Sea homesteading might be the wave of the future as rich libertarians find new ways to not pay taxes and avoid the law. Apparently the normal ways of doing that aren’t enough.

War

Netanyahu’s War Ultimatum at the UN

Everyone is laughing at Netanyahu’s bomb diagram, but last week’s United Nations speeches from him and Obama are truly terrifying. I’ve been saying basically since January 2009 that Obama was gearing up for war with Iran. The signals last week couldn’t be any clearer. And, once again, if you vote for his re-election this is what you are voting for.
