Americans - Like Nazi Germans - Don't Notice That All Of Our Rights Are Slipping Away
Americans Are Acting Like Slowly Boiling Frogs In the classic history of Nazi Germany, They Thought They Were Free, Milton Mayer writes: “What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could not understand it, it could not be released because of national security. And their sense of identification with Hitler, their trust in him, made it easier to widen this gap and reassured those who would otherwise have worried about it. “This separation of government from people, this widening of the gap, took place so gradually and so insensibly, each step disguised (perhaps not even intentionally) as a temporary emergency measure or associated with true patriotic allegiance or with real social purposes.
How to Think About Guns: A New Freakonomics Radio Podcast
[MUSIC: The Wintermarket; “Thank You There Will Be No Encore” (from The Ballad of Artie Fufkin)] Stephen J. DUBNER: Steve Levitt is my Freakonomics friend and co-author. He’s an economist, at the University of Chicago. One topic he’s studied for lot of years, from a lot of angles, is crime. Levitt and I were working together, in Texas, on the day back in December that a 20-year-old guy in Connecticut named Adam Lanza killed his mother, then shot up an elementary school, killing 20 little kids and six adults, and finally shot himself. [MUSIC: Sonogram; “Fell Through Mirrors” (from Cubists)] As horrific as that was, as incomprehensibly sad, Steve Levitt, given everything he knows about crime, he wasn’t all that surprised. Steven LEVITT: You know, I think my reaction was probably different than other people’s reactions, because the thing that I’m always shocked by is how few insane people are out there doing mass murders, not how many are out there doing mass murders.
Black Panthers: Assassinated by the State - The Federally Sanctioned Murder of Fred Hampton
" ... a much-needed corrective to a badly distorted mainstream narrative of a key event in the history of the left and African-American politics of the late ’60s ... It is now clear that Hampton and Clark were victims of a plot hatched by the FBI and executed by the Cook County State’s Attorney and Chicago police officers. Nonetheless, conventional wisdom portrays the Panthers as the villains. ... This book should alter the conventional wisdom that the Panthers were a dangerous threat that the police had to eliminate at all costs By Salim MuwakkilIn These Times | November 25, 2009 Street door to the Black Panthers’ headquarters after the October 1969 police raid It’s clear that Hoover’s designation of the Panthers as ‘the greatest threat to the internal security of the country’ provided law enforcement with a virtual license to kill. But Haas also offers captivating details that add color and context to those turbulent times. The first Panther office opened in Chicago in November 1968.
A pro-liberty approach to lawmaking
The candid truth is that a great many — if not most — existing laws and proposed pieces of legislation are incompatible with a free society. How can we know if a law promotes liberty or enhances the power of the state? What standard must a law meet to satisfy the freedom-oriented crowd? Indeed, advocates of a free society should be the last, most apprehensive individuals to convince that a new law is justified. With any piece of legislation, always begin with a default position of “no.” Police State USA has formulated a series of rigorous checks to help determine whether a proposal is compatible with the interests of a free society. To weed out the unnecessary, unsustainable, unconstitutional, unjust, unreadable laws, I propose that ALL of the following statements should be true of a proposal before a pro-liberty individual considers endorsing it: 1. A government must never be allowed to become lawless and without limitations. 2. Sacrificing liberty is always a mistake. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Dorner manhunt: Lawyer calls shootings of paper carriers 'unacceptable'
An attorney representing two women who were delivering newspapers when they were shot by police during a massive manhunt for an ex-LAPD officer called the incident "unacceptable," saying his clients looked nothing like the suspect. Emma Hernandez, 71, was delivering the Los Angeles Times with her daughter, Margie Carranza, 47, in the 19500 block of Redbeam Avenue in Torrance on Thursday morning when Los Angeles police detectives apparently mistook their pickup for that of Christopher Dorner, the 33-year-old fugitive suspected of killing three people and injuring two others. Hernandez, who attorney Glen T. Jonas said was shot twice in the back, was in stable condition late Thursday. Carranza received stitches on her finger. PHOTOS: Manhunt for ex-LAPD officer Officials seeking Dorner describe him as black, 6 feet tall and weighing 270 pounds. "We trust that the LAPD will step up and do the right thing and acknowledge that what they did was unacceptable, and we'll deal with it," Jonas said.
Most of you have no idea what Martin Luther King actually did
I remember that many years ago, when I was a smartass home from first year of college, I was standing in the kitchen arguing with my father. My head was full of newly discovered political ideologies and black nationalism, and I had just read the Autobiography of Malcolm X, probably for the second time. A bit of context. They lived in a valley or hollow or "holler" in which all the landowners and tenants were black. On the one hand, this was a pleasant situation because they lived in isolation from white people. Anyway, that's background. So anyway, I was having this argument with my father about Martin Luther King and how his message was too conservative compared to Malcolm X's message. I was kind of sarcastic and asked something like, so what did Martin Luther King accomplish other than giving his "I have a dream speech." Before I tell you what my father told me, I want to digress. My father told me with a sort of cold fury, "Dr. But this is what the great Dr. So what did they do?
