You don’t have to be a fan of Jesse Ventura to ask why Huffington Post, a liberal outlet, would be so illiberal as to prevent someone from even questioning the government’s version of what happened on 9-11.
Ventura didn’t say he subscribed to any “conspiracy theory” or alternative explanation. He didn’t claim he knew what happened.
He just questioned [...]

Blogger Jennifer Lake seems to have gotten some facts mixed up about libertarian newsletter publisher, Agora Inc.
Now, I’ve been quite critical of Agora (within the limits of what you can say of a place where you once worked and with which you still have a tenuous business association - via my book with Bonner). I’ve [...]
What: We’ll be informing potential jurors that their primary function is to protect the rights of the accused from tyrannical or immoral laws, not simply to administer a judgement on guilt. Approximately 700 potential jurors appear at the Justice Center in downtown Fort Worth each Monday morning.
This is a copy of the tri-fold that we’ll be distributing.
Here is a copy of useful tips that the Fully Informed Jury Association recommends for passing out literature near courthouses.
If you’re interested, you may also view the jury selection process as a guest, according to the court bailiff.
This event is being sponsored by the Campaign for Liberty — Tarrant County, and event registration is available on the site.
When: March 22, Monday at 7:15 until 8:30 a.m.
Why: The topic of jury rights will be of most interest and relevance to people who may serve on a panel. It will be on the top of their mind, and they are much more likely to read those documents than at any other time. This also provides an opportunity for outreach to meet other like-minded folks and bring them into the fold.
Make a stand for Liberty!

Howard Zinn, the late historian and author of A People’s History of the United States, is famous for his retelling of the sanitized American history taught in government-approved school.
Two members of the DFW Alliance of the Libertarian Left attended a viewing of Zinn’s The People Speak at 1919 Hemphill, an activist headquarter in downtown Fort Worth. I don’t want to give a review of the movie, as I’m sure that can be found elsewhere, especially since I have never read either book that the movie is based on. The stories told won’t be a surprise those who favor consent-based solutions to social ills since the government’s only tool is violence.
1919’s building was really inspiring too. A free library is organized by members of the local Industrial Workers of the World and participants are self organizing activism. I was short on time and a bit chilly to discuss any future activism, but for those interested, the 1919 calendar lists music performances and meetings taking place in the near future.
What: A documentary based on the late Howard Zenn’s A People’s History of the United States and Voices of a People’s History of the United States is going to be shown at 1919 Hemphill, a local activists headquarter.
According to Howard Zenn’s Web site, “music by Eddie Vedder and performances by Viggo Mortensen, Sandra Oh, Sean Penn, Rosario Dawson, Don Cheadle, John Legend, and many other great performers, will air in TV and be released on a special DVD. The documentary, The People Speak, shows the rich history of dissent in our history, and explores why it is so relevant and urgent today.
“The goal of Voices is to encourage civic engagement and to further history education by bringing the rich history of the United States to life through public readings of primary-source materials. Voices works to remind people of the eloquence of ordinary people, as well as extraordinary and well-known figures from our history.”
Attendance is free and can be reserved on the event’s Facebook page.
When: Feb. 17, 8-10 p.m.

I’ve been forwarded this from several different sources, so am reposting it here. It’s worth noting that, even though this particular situation is going on in the US, the same sort of thing happens in the UK, other European countries, and elsewhere…H…
A Barron´s interview with Bearing Asset Management´s Kevin Duffy and Bill Laggner, via Lew Rockwell: “Do you see the S&P 500 retesting its lows of this year? Duffy: It’s difficult to know. It depends on how much money gets printed. In real terms, can we get cut in half from here? We think so. S&P earnings are [...]
From the website of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, the leading activist against gold price manipulation in the market: “GATA today brought suit against the U.S. Federal Reserve Board, seeking a court order for disclosure of the central bank’s records of its surreptitious market intervention to suppress the monetary metal’s price.” For some of my warnings of [...]
