Peasants, Rise Up! The Croquants Of The 17th Century – Murray N. Rothbard

How Billionaires Fund Scholars Who Pump US Imperialism – Eric Zuesse
The super-rich have always profited enormously from imperialism — and that means from invasions, coups, and other international regime-change operations.

Can Movements Keep Politicians From Inevitably Selling Out? – Mark Engler – Paul Engler
It is a pattern we see again and again: New political hopefuls are elected to office espousing progressive values and vowing to challenge the status quo in Washington, D.C.

The Power To Regulate Is The Power To Control – Robert E. Wright
In his 1819 opinion in McCulloch v.

Today’s Sodomites – Robert Weissberg
The treatment received by judge Stuart Kyle Duncan at Stanford Law School has received enormous attention but this attention is entirely about the state of free expression at an elite law school.

A Panicked Empire Tries To Make Russia An “Offer It Can’t Refuse” – Pepe Escobar
Realizing NATO’s war with Russia will likely end unfavorably, the US is test-driving an exit offer.
