With all of the nonsense going on, particularly from progressive liberal quarters that Obama’s bills are necessary, last night I couldn’t help but picture Obama, Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi casting incantations over scraps of parchment, sprinkling dried toad and sulphur over blue flames, and the masses, gathered outside the window of the castle laboratory, straining their necks upwards, waiting for lightning bolts and signs of nature’s forces mustering.
That’s what the ignorant masses regard legislation as today. Spell casting.
With this stimulus bill, we will create WEALTH! With this budget, we will create PROSPERITY! Keynesianism is synonymous with black magic. When Bush did it, he kept the secret power spells hidden, but Obama and Pelosi have brought out the tomes of forbidden knowledge, for the good of mankind!
Abra cadabra! Poof! Magic!
Flaherty says G7 agree to avoid protectionism
This is proof that if you give politicians enough power, money and time, they will eventually figure out what the rest of us know.
Since July 2008, Lew Rockwell of LewRockwell.com and Mises.org has been producing and providing podcasts (audio segments) through LRC. I’ve listened to every one of them, some many times, and find them all to be fantastic.
Lew posted the Top 10 Podcast link today.
- $2000 Gold and the Break up of the US: Gerald Celente
- The Biggest Bubble in the History of the World: Ron Paul
- America’s Slow-Motion Fascist Coup: Naomi Wolf
- The Greatest Depression in History: Gerald Celente
- Thanks for the Inflationary Depression: Peter Schiff
- How the Government Wrecked the Economy: Peter Schiff
- The Panic of ’08: Lew Rockwell interviews Ron Paul
- The Crash of ’08: Lew Rockwell interviews Jim Rogers
- Stop the Bailout!: Lew Rockwell on the Michael Reagan Show
- There Is Hope: Ron Paul
My favorite of this lot, is the amazing Naomi Wolf interview. Perhaps I have listened to too much Ron Paul, Peter Schiff and Gerald Celente (who are all excellent btw), but the Noami Wolf interview was a great gateway to the left, and a really special moment where it turned into a conversation between two intelligent people sharing information and ideas.
Sadly, the left-libertarian doorstops (they have to be good for something) haven’t seemed to have done much to help promote it.
Some of my other favorites include (in no particular order)
28. What is Neoconservatism?
65. A Libertarian in the USSR
32. Intellectual “Property”
13. The Old Right
15. Democracy: The God That Failed
68. Are You an Anarchist?
8. The Scam Called the State
I hope more libertarians blog about and share these around. They appeal to all sorts of different groups, from anarchists to Reagan republicans, antiwar protestors to wall street observers.

Legendary t-shirt company T-Shirt Hell is closing.
I made a shitload of dough along the way. I’ve done cocaine off the better body parts of supermodels. I’ve even raped and killed a mountain panda in the hills of Shaanxi. But these perks are besides the point.
I just don’t feel like dealing with idiots anymore.
This is how capitalism is meant to be done. You start small, crushing your larger competitors, see them driven before you and hear the lamentations of their women, and then you walk away on top, before the small minded idiots or state (do I repeat myself) drag you down and destroy you like Henry Rearden in Atlas Shrugged.
That’s right, I’m crazy. I’m pulling the plug on a company I could have sold for millions. Why in the fucking world would I do something so stupid? Because I can. I don’t care about money. This is the way I’ve always done things…my way.
Fuck you too Sunshine Megatron. Good luck.
