In 1952, then-U.S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson said that 'Britain has lost an empire but has failed to find a role.' Sadly for Britain, it decided to renounce its longstanding global cultural, legal and philosophical links to North America and instead looked for that role in Europe. Despite its geographic proximity to Britain, the Continent is nevertheless home to a host of cultures, legal systems and governing philosophies very different from those of traditionally liberal Britain. The consequences from that bad choice have bedeviled Britain for decades...

Disarm the state!

Information Libertation
by Gary Barnett

12/26/11

The current trend is to disarm the citizenry, and that trend should be reversed. The citizenry should fully disarm the government and all its agents of force. If real freedom is the desired end, then gun control of the entire government is the obvious answer...

The Right-Wing Id Unzipped

Mike Lofgren, Truthout: ''Right-wingers have occasioned much recent comment.... Who are these people and what motivates them? To answer, one must leave the field of conventional political theory and enter the realm of psychopathology.... There are tens of millions of Americans who, although personally lacking the self-confidence, ambition and leadership qualities of authoritarian dominators like Gingrich or Sarah Palin, nevertheless empower the latter to achieve their goals while finding psychological fulfillment in subordination to a cause.''

Notable Death of the Year: RIP Austerity Economics, 1921-2011

Richard (RJ) Eskow, Campaign for America s Future: 'Austerity economics' backers claim that today s economic woes can only be fixed by dramatic reductions in government spending, which will lead to increased private-sector confidence and therefore to greater investment and growth. But it s never worked. And if investors have lost confidence in the U.S. government s fiscal stability, they are sure not acting that way. There hasn t been this much demand for Treasury bonds since the government began tracking it twenty years ago.'

Ten Ultra-Rich Congresspeople Who 'Represent' Some of the Most Financially Troubled Districts

Sarah Jaffe, AlterNet: 'The hard times that most Americans continue to experience don t seem to be making an impact on their representatives in Washington. Now a new report might shed some light on why. According to a Washington Post story this week, ?Between 1984 and 2009, the median net worth of a member of the House more than doubled, according to the analysis of financial disclosures, from $280,000 to $725,000 in inflation-adjusted 2009 dollars, excluding home equity.'

by Pastor Chuck Baldwin

The recent passage of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and the reaction, or better, lack of reaction, by the GOP s Presidential candidates is a perfect example of how it will not matter to a Tinker s Dam which Republican candidate wins the nomination, unless that candidate is Congressman Ron Paul. This is what so many people within the so-called Religious Right and establishment GOP just do not understand: they do not understand the fact that......

Vorratsdatenspeicherung: EU-Kommission rudert zurück

Nicht nur zu Datensicherheit und Speicherdauer deutet sich in Brüssel ein Kurswechsel bei der Vorratsdatenspeicherung an. Selbst ihre EU-weit einheitliche Regelung steht zur Disposition.

Geheime Mitteilung der EU-Kommission zur Evaluierung der Richtlinie zur Vorratsdatenspeicherung veröffentlicht

''Die deutschland- und europaweit heftig umstrittene Vorratsdatenspeicherung büßt den Schein ihrer Rechtmäßigkeit ein: Ein nun in die Öffentlichkeit geratenes internes Papier der europäischen Kommission über die Planung der nächsten sechs Monate belegt das vollständige Scheitern der Richtlinie zur Vorratsdatenspeicherung. Kritiker analysieren den Inhalt des Dokuments und sehen das Ende der von vielen Rechtswissenschaftlern als ''Paradigmenwechsel'' oder ''verfassungsmässigen Tabubruch'' bewerteten Überwachungsmaßnahme voraus?''
