In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

Watching the globe

Soon there will be no place on the earth free of U.S. government surveillance.  As you can read here, the U.S. is expanding its surveillance through more bases, now in Africa.  Of course, this is all at taxpayer's expense.  Also, don't forget that the government also has the power, and has already used it, to fly surveillance drones here in the good 'ol U.S.A., the "most free" country in the world (lol).  The other day a drone crashed in Maryland.  If you hear a funny sound, look up - they may be watching you - so behave like a good little compliant citizen.

Print! Print! Print!

The knuckleheads who run the central banks around the world, from "Helicopter" Ben Bernanke here at the Fed to the littlest central banker somewhere on the globe, know how to do only one thing: create more money out of thin air.  Read this article here that explains what they've been up to and what they may continue to do.  At some point they won't be able to print (actually electronically create) any more money.  Then what?  You guessed it: global depression that will make the 1930's depression look like a walk in the park.  Own any precious metals or a case of fine scotch?  You should. 

Another 9/11 on the way?

Thanks to antiwar.com for publishing this Salon article by Glen Greenwald.  Read it here.  As usual, Greenwald gets it right.  How can we expect people to leave us alone when we murder and destroy around the globe?  If any country flew even one drone into the U.S. and killed one American, millions of Americans would be screaming for retaliation.  Yet the U.S. sends drones into many countries EVERY week.  Let's leave the world alone and just trade with people.  Nothing promotes peace as much as true free trade (true meaning ZERO government involvement).

Creating enemies around the globe, one drone at at time

As the U.S. continues the use of drones in several countries, the level of hatred against America grows steadily.  As you can read here, people switch sides after their loved ones are murdered by a U.S. drone.  When the next 9/11 style attack occurs in America, who are you going to blame - some little guy from a village somewhere whose father was killed by a drone?

Honor our troops by bringing them home!

Jacob Hornberger gets it right.  Read here how the troops, who don't know the politics behind the U.S. empire, are duped and actually believe they are defending our freedom.  However, no nation on earth has the power to take our freedoms (since we spend more on the military than the rest of the world combined).  If no nation can take them, being out there is not "defending" or "preserving" our freedoms.  Let's just follow the Constitution (remember that?), which does not authorize military bases around the world.  And aren't you tired of paying for them?

War with Iran

It seems as though Israel is determined to attack Iran.  Read this short antiwar.com article here that indicates Israel is prepared and ready to go.

You will be watched, listened to, recorded, etc. 24/7/365

Thanks to lewrockwell.com for posting this article from the New American regarding the NSA and its desire to watch, listen, record, etc. everything we say and do, every day, all year long. All of those dystopian sci-fi flicks the past 20 years, entertaining us with the idea that governments were everywhere - are actually coming true.

Taxpayer dollars being used to create a massive surveillance center to spy on - yes, taxpayers! For some reason, I wish I was born in like 1640 and lived until 1725 or so. I would have been 99.9% free, with a life basically untouched by government. Those were the days.
