John Wayne and New Orleans Indians

Infoshop News

by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz

September 7, 2005

"The Cavalry is coming!" announced a reporter on the Fox News Channel when finally National Guardsmen trooped into downtown New Orleans on the fourth day of apocalypse. I said to myself, "There they go again, racist Fox News."

I switched channels and found reporters and government officials repeating the same phrase, "The Cavalry has arrived." I should not have been surprised; during the preceding two days, they had been referring to the scene in brown water-lodge New Orleans, not as genocide as I saw it, rather "the wild west." Racism on top of racism, revealing the scaffolding of United States' history, its intact structure bared, all the glitter and trappings washed away. New Orleans became "Indian Country," the military term for enemy territory.

Real Bills vs. Rothbard's 100% Gold System

Americans for a Free Republic

by Nelson Hultberg

September 6, 2005

Americans for a Free Republic has a daring and innovative new strategy to challenge the Demopublican power structure in America!

In two recent articles, Fool's Gold and Real Bills, Phony Wealth , Sean Corrigan and Robert Blumen of the Mises Institute have put forth attempted rebuttals to Antal Fekete's work on the Real Bills Doctrine as a necessary accompaniment to a gold monetary system. They offer numerous economic arguments as to why real bills are supposedly dangerous instruments that will ignite inflation, and why Murray Rothbard's 100% gold standard is the only answer. There are four basic flaws in their analyses that I will cover in this essay. These are far from the only flaws, but I will leave a further and more theoretical examination to Dr. Fekete himself.

September 5, 2005

A mountain lion prowling the Scottsdale's Stonegate community for the past two months tests new protocols set by Arizona Game & Fish. The cat has not yet posed a public safety hazard, but has been sighted in the area 15 times.

Fifteen sightings of the cat, usually spotted in one of the upscale community's nine washes, have been reported to the Arizona Game and Fish Department since June 23. Response from residents varies from "the lion adds a special interest" to serious concern for public safety, said Larry Paprocki, director of the Stonegate Community Association.

The two lions have been tracked by Park Service researchers since 2003. The two had four yearling offspring, which researchers say are doing well.

Malibu's mountain lions are downsizing in the Santa Monica Mountains. The National Park Service reported that a local male mountain lion, called P1 by rangers, fatally wounded his female mountain lion partner, P2, on Aug. 12.

State lawmakers have signed off on the first-ever mountain lion season in South Dakota, allowing the predators to be killed with rifles, pistols, shotguns that fire slugs, and bows and arrows.

Lawmakers who serve on the Legislature's Rules Review Committee endorsed a set of standards 4-2 on Monday that establish the season. Hunters can begin stalking the big cats on Oct. 1 in the Black Hills. A 25-lion quota has been set, but the season will end on Dec. 15 or whenever five breeding-age females have been killed.

Michelle and Wes Burris' Thursday morning routine included the usual cup of coffee and the not-so-usual mountain lion sighting. The couple spotted a lion behind their Silver Bend Drive home at around 6:30 a.m.

"The dog was barking and barking and I thought he saw a deer, but usually if it's a deer, she'll try to chase it," said Michelle Burris. They looked out the window to see an adult lion lying down in the tall weeds 20 feet in front of them.

A "chemical wringer" developed by researchers in Florida leaves clothes 20 percent drier than a normal wash, and could save consumers millions in electricity bills.

A novel mix of common detergent ingredients that lowers the surface tension in liquids could force extra water from clothes during the final spin cycle, the researchers found.

Second Rate Education or Second Chance? - Budget Homeschool

Budget Homeschool

by Annette M. Hall

August 23, 2005

As school begins anew once again this fall it gives me the chance to reflect on the scope of education and its purpose. As parents we must continually ask ourselves what is the purpose of education and evaluate our own motivations.

It saddens me to see children standing by the road waiting for the school bus to pick them up and take them to what amounts to a prison. The worst part isn't even that these children will be contained in classrooms for hours on end, while the sun is shining outside beckoning them to come play. The saddest part is ...

Americans Surrendering Liberties: Shades Of German History

It appears that a strengthened U.S.A. Patriot Act will soon sail through Congress with little opposition or consternation on the part of the American people.

The new Patriot Act is even more stringent than the original. In addition, many of the more egregious elements of the Patriot Act which were originally scheduled to sunset are made permanent in the latest version. And the vast majority of the American people do not seem to mind.
