Newly Discovered Letters Reveal More on Rothbard’s Friendship With Frank Meyer

“Frank’s death was a real personal blow to me,” Murray Rothbard confessed in 1973. Frank Meyer and Rothbard debated at the Harvard University Institute of Politics in 1971. Less than a year later, Meyer was dead at 62.

Starting in the 1950s, both men worked as the two paid reviewers of scholarship for the Volker Fund. Ex-Communist Meyer ran Rothbard’s book reviews as literary editor of National Review during the late 1950s and early 1960s. In 1972, the year of Meyer’s death, Rothbard modeled muc...

Can Warriors Stop Endless Wars?

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, the former “Fox and Friends” cohost, claims to be obsessed with making the Pentagon and the military services about “the warfighter.” His main approach to doing so is a deeply misguided campaign to reduce “distractions” like commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion (the dreaded “DEI”). No matter that the purpose of DEI is to combat White supremacist attitudes, misogyny, and anti-gay and anti-trans violence in the ranks.

All such forms of discrimination a...

Ukraine Plotting False Flag in EU – Moscow

Kiev is planning a false-flag operation in the EU involving the deployment of a sabotage group to Poland posing as Russian and Belarusian special forces, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has said.

Earlier this month, Warsaw claimed that 19 Russian drones had entered the Polish airspace and called the incident a deliberate provocation by Moscow intended to test NATO’s response. Similar claims of a drone incursion were later made by Romania.

The SVR said in a statement on Tuesday that t...

Peace in the Middle East – An Engine of Growth Towards a Shared Future for Mankind

Background

For the past 100+ years, the Middle East has been plagued by western-initiated conflicts and wars no end. The purpose is to dominate one of the world’s largest energy resources. Other energy-rich countries are Russia and Venezuela. Both are in the crosshairs for US-western domination. Venezuela is being aggressed, as I speak, by President Trump’s US Navy. However, China sends her Navy to President Maduro’s rescue. It is clear the plates of world dominion are shifting away from the wes...

Climatism as an Oligarchic Strategy To Cement Power and Preempt Rivals

All human societies are led by a confined group of especially influential people. These are the elites, and like them or not, they are unavoidable because humans are hierarchical chimps and they build the same social structures over and over again wherever they flourish.

The elites are not necessarily always and everywhere the wealthiest people, or the most persuasive people or the strongest people – although being wealthy, persuasive and strong certainly helps. They simply enjoy some combinatio...

RFK Jr. Directs FDA To Study the Safety of Abortion Pills

Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. launched a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) safety review of the abortion drug mifepristone that could lead to restrictions on the lethal pill.

Kennedy shared earlier this year that President Donald Trump requested he conduct a study of the pill’s safety for women. As Lila Rose of Live Action has noted, “A drug designed to starve preborn babies to death can never be considered “safe.”

RFK: President Trump has asked me to study the s...

Ex-Trump Official Says Advisors Are Pushing War With Russia

A former Trump administration national security advisor suspects that people near the president are pushing him into a war with Russia.

Retired Gen. Michael Flynn said in a social media post on Monday that people within President Donald Trump’s orbit may be luring him into “a trap” that could cost American lives. Recent public rhetoric from high-ranking administration officials appears to support Flynn’s analysis.

On Fox News Live’s Sunday Briefing, U.S. Special Envoy to Ukraine Gen. Keith Kello...

Price Doesn’t Reflect Value, and We’re Paying a Steep Price for Confusing the Two

This exploitation is indeed profitable, but there is a very high price to be paid for abusing our trust.

Price and Value–now there’s a twisted tale. We’ve been trained to compare price and buy the lower priced option as the better value, but price doesn’t reflect value, and we’re paying a very steep price as individuals and as a nation for confusing the two.

In economic theory, price is a signal, a flow of information between the producer, seller and buyer. Like all economic theory, this sounds ...

How the Fourteenth Amendment Empowers Judicial Activism

In “Government by Judiciary: The Transformation of the Fourteenth Amendment” Raoul Berger argues that the Fourteenth Amendment is treated by activist judges as a platform for “social and political revolution.” In theory, the role of the courts is to interpret the Constitution not to amend it. Nevertheless, by treating the Fourteenth Amendment as a “vague and elastic” tool designed to forge a brave world of racial equality, progressive judges have conferred revolutionary powers on themselves.
