Regime Change in Turkey

by
The attempted military coup in Turkey serves to remind Americans of two important facts: First, that Americans are legally obligated to fight and die for that country’s dictatorial regime and, second, that the position taken by the coup leaders is no different from that taken by America’s national-security establishment. While Turkey’s president, Reccep Tayyip Erdogan, has been democratically elected, the fact is that he is a brutal dictator, one who has been jailing journalists and most anyone who dares to criticize him. There is no doubt that he will use the coup crisis to fortify his dictatorial rule over the Turkish citizenry. In fact, he’s already using the coup attempt as an opportunity to purge hundreds of judges from Turkey’s judicial system. It’s a classic case of where democracy does not equal freedom. The Turkish people have elected a man who wields and exercises brutal dictatorial powers. That’s the regime that the American people are legally obligated to fight and die for, thanks ...

Amerexit from NATO

by
President Obama is traveling to Warsaw, Poland, to attend the July 8-9 summit of NATO, the post-World War II, Cold War-era dinosaur organization that unfortunately failed to go out of existence once the Cold War was over. NATO was brought into existence in 1949, two years after the United States was converted into a national-security state to wage the Cold War against its World War II partner and ally, the Soviet Union. It’s mission was ostensibly to protect Western Europe from an invasion by the Soviet Union, which had lost some 20-30 million people in WW II, had been entirely destroyed, and was mired in severe economic distress, especially given its socialist economic system. But as well all know, the Cold War is over. It’s ended more than 25 years ago. Why didn’t NATO end as well? What is NATO’s mission today? Ostensibly, it’s a variation on a theme. This time, the organization, which, needless to say, is controlled by the U.S. ...

When Did America’s Obsession with Islam Begin?

by
Discussions and debate about Islam are all over America. Islam is not only a central issue in the presidential race, it is also the subject of endless discussions within the mainstream media, the educational establishment, and, of course, the Internet. Debates rage over such issues as: Are all Muslims dangerous or just radical Muslims? Is America in danger of replacing its judicial system with Sharia law? How and why do people get self-radicalized? Is reading the Koran dangerous? Should all Muslims be banned from the United States or just some of them? Can Muslim-Americans be counted on to be loyal to the United States? Should Homeland Security agents monitor the activities of Muslim-Americans? Is the United States in danger of becoming part of the worldwide quest among Muslims to establish a worldwide caliphate? Indeed, I am increasingly encountering people in their early 20s, who, having grown up and gone to public schools under the “war on terrorism,” are now dedicating their ...

The U.S. National-Security State’s Murder of Victor Jara

by
Prescript: (1) George Leef has a great article on gun control and the Second Amendment, which cites my recent blog post How They Could Confiscate Your AR-15. His article, which is entitled “Law Professor Demands Repeal of ‘Outdated’ Second Amendment, Makes Very Weak Case,” is really worth reading. (2) At LewRockwell.com, in an interesting blog post entitled “Hollywoodism,” ...
