“Why Are Americans Paying to Be Searched, Spied On, Shot At and Robbed Blind by the Government?”
"The fact is that the average man's love of liberty is nine-tenths imaginary, exactly like his love of sense, justice and truth. He is not actually happy when free; he is uncomfortable, a bit alarmed, and intolerably lonely. Liberty is not a thing for the great masses of men. It is the exclusive possession of a small and disreputable minority, like knowledge, courage and honor. It takes a special sort of man to understand and enjoy liberty — and he is usually an outlaw in democratic societies." - H.L.

Quote of the Day: Ludwig Von Mises on Anarchism and Government
*“Government as such is not only not an evil, but the most necessary and beneficial institution, as without it no lasting social cooperation and no civilisation would be possible… “Not the state is an evil, but the shortcomings of the human mind and character that imperatively require the operation of a police power. Government and state can never be perfect because they owe their raison d'être to the imperfection of man and can attain their end, the elimination of man's innate impulse to violence, only by recourse to violence, the very thing they are called upon to preven... more »

The DSCC preview of the electoral cycle that they hand out to big contributors is as upbeat as they can make it. In the section on South Dakota, where Democrat Tim Johnson is retiring, the DSCC asserts that "Democrats and the DSCC are committed to holding Senator Johnson's seat next year and will devote all the resources necessary to elect a new Democratic senator in South Dakota. Recent polls have shown that Democrats are in a strong position to hold the seat. This is another state where a likely divisive Republican primary could force the eventual nominee to the far right.

*Muslim parent upset over school flyer promoting church's Easter egg hunt* *Easter eggs are a pagan fertility symbol, nothing to do with Christianity. They derive from the pagan Babylonian goddess, Astarte* Some Muslim parents are concerned about public schools in Dearborn handing out flyers to all students advertising an Easter egg hunt, saying it violates the principle of church and state separation. A flyer headlined “Eggstravaganza!” was given to students this week at three elementary schools in the Dearborn Public Schools district, which has a substantial number of Muslim st... more »

*Pot-smoking students 'perform better academically' than those who smoke tobacco* *Because tobacco smoking is mostly working class* People traditionally think of the students who smoke cannabis behind the school bike sheds as trouble makers. But new research suggests they outperform tobacco smokers academically. In one of the largest ever studies of substance use among teenagers, Canadian researchers discovered marijuana smokers achieve better grades than cigarette smokers. The University of Toronto scientists examined trends in tobacco and marijuana use from 1981 to 2011. ‘In ... more »

*Green 'smear campaign' against professor who dared to disown 'sexed up' UN climate dossier* The professor who refused to sign last week’s high-profile UN climate report because it was too ‘alarmist’, has told The Mail on Sunday he has become the victim of a smear campaign. Richard Tol claims he is fighting a sustained attack on his reputation by a key figure from a leading institution that researches the impact of global warming. Prof Tol said: ‘This has all the characteristics of a smear campaign. It’s all about taking away my credibility as an expert.’ Prof Tol, from Sussex U... more »

Sometimes, even as a blogger, you do wonder if you're in the wrong business. I listened to this morning's paper review on *Broadcasting House *and heard left-wing comedian David Schneider going off on one over Nigel Farage, saying how his populism "frightens" him. The Conservative peer Patience Wheatcroft agreed that his appeal is "frightening" and the prospect of him getting 33% of the vote is "terrifying". To his credit, Paddy O'Connell stepped in at this point, saying "But not to people who support him. I mean, the views aren't terrible. What's a terrifying view he's got?" D... more »
EU watch April 6 , 2014 -- Europe in full recovery ? Tell that to France - Brussels Says "No" to France Proposal for Deficit Target Leniency , The European Commission told Manuel Valls, Hollande's new Prime Minister to "be more like Spain", and impose more austerity to meet deficit targets. The irony of course is that Spain has failed at least three times to meet repeatedly watered-down deficit targets. ...... As for Spain , Spain Misses 2013 Budget Deficit Target in Spite of Massive Tax Increases; So Much Pain for Virtually No Reward ....... Maybe France should be more like Greece ?

*...as well as anti-quantum, anti-string...* For more than 30 years, Roger Penrose would be offering many irrational and wrong criticisms of the cosmic inflation. He didn't stop after the publication of the discovery of primordial gravitational waves by BICEP2. On Friday, instead of hiding somewhere in a closet, he went to Ira Flatow's show, Science Friday, and displayed more self confidence than ever: Sir Roger Penrose: Cosmic Inflation Is ‘Fantasy’ (click this and click the "LISTEN" button) In the 27-minute interview, he reminds us about the book "Fashion, Faith, and Fantasy" abo... more »

Join the band! Who'da thunk that Citigroup would continue to get into lending trouble (or any other type of money-grubbing trouble)? Or is it merely arithmetic trouble? Remember that Robert Rubin of the constant gleeful smirk or sourpuss countenance on serious TV shows (guru to Goldman Sachs and later Citigroup) was Secretary of the Treasury under Bill Clinton during all the banking

[image: 4505316855_dafcdf3c18_m]*April 6, 2014* (Tony Cartalucci - NEO) - The roof of a house is composed of many shingles providing protection to those beneath it. For the global corporatocracy, these shingles are composed of several types – their media monopoly and the narratives they spin, monopolies over economics, infrastructure, and the use of force, and Western-style “democracy” where in the people are granted the illusion of self-determination in place of true freedom and control over one’s destiny. If upon one’s roof, even a single shingle is lifted up, it poses the danger... more »
Walking Shapes
It's probably too late to see New York-based Walking Shapes at Acerogami tonight in Pomona. I caught them a couple nights ago at the Satellite in Silverlake, practically walking distance from my house. And they'll be back in L.A. (at Bardot) on Monday-- after a gig at the Brick & Mortar in San Franscico Sunday night. If exquisitely-played, cutting edge, indie-rock is your cup of tea, this band is worth seeing. On their way back across America over the next couple of weeks, they have shows in Phoenix (celebrating the release of their unbelievable new album, *Taka Come On* at the C... more »
