A Nigerian bishop has described to the UK parliament the mass killings of Christians by Islamist extremists and militant Fulani herdsmen in his home region, while setting the attacks within a wider context that threatens the Church’s entire presence in the effected areas and potentially even in the entire country.

Who’s Got the Gold? – LewRockwell

In 1971, the US abruptly went off the gold standard, and in making the public announcement, US President Richard Nixon looked into the television camera and said, “We’re all Keynesians now.” I was a young man at the time and had previously bought gold, albeit on a very small scale, but I recall looking into the face of this delusional man and thinking, “This is not good.” However, the world at large apparently agreed with Mister Nixon, and within a few years, the other countries also went off the gold standard, which meant that, from that point on, no currency … Continue reading →

Judicial Tyranny: Tip of the Deep State Sword – LewRockwell

Hundreds of Democrat party political hacks who happen to have attended law school for a couple of years have been rewarded for their hackism with appointments as federal district court judges. Armed with lifetime tenure and dressed in spooky looking black robes, they behave like an army of some 700 dictators responsible and answerable to no one as they plot their coup to take over the other two branches of government with their dictatorial decrees known as “nationwide injunctions.” In every instance in the past several months these “injunctions” have been aimed at stopping any attempts to reduce the size and power … Continue reading →

The Trump Administration Goes To War Against Bureaucratic Tyranny – LewRockwell

Posted on by johnbarleycorn12

“This town is now as nervous as it’s ever been.”  That’s Congressman Chip Roy’s assessment of the mood in Washington, D.C., since President Trump’s return to the White House.  It’s one of several dozen refreshingly blunt descriptions of American politics in Ned Ryun’s new documentary based on his book, American Leviathan.  The documentary is available to anyone with an Internet connection, and it is nothing short of a declaration of war on the administrative state. I highlighted Ryun’s book when it came out last September for several reasons.  First, it is a remarkably clear description of the ideas, people, and events that led us to this unique moment in history … Continue reading →
