Lew Rockwell on Now With Bill Moyers

Now With Bill Moyers

Lew Rockwell appears on NOW with Bill Moyers. Lew discusses Bush, Iraq, and the US economy. Originally broadcast on March 7, 2003.

“We have to educate ourselves, and educate others about our own history, our real history, about what’s actually going on these days, about real economics, and the principles of liberty. And I think that is: if we have any salvation, it’s through that, and certainly in secular terms.”

MOYERS: Welcome to NOW. If you’re thinking about money, bills...

The Dictatorship of the Minority

“She” strangles a cat, then dissects it and shreds what is left. “She” then hits a man with a bottle, strangles him, and finally drowns him. “She” calls herself Scarlet Blake, and the British papers and media feel obliged to refer to this muscular and terrifying individual as a woman. But this monster of a human is as male as there is, and only the female writer J.K. Rowling has the guts to point this out. J.K. has been the target of the woke mob for years, and only because she calls a spade a s...

Gold: Past and Future Money

In addition to taxation, the other method governments use to fund their spending is creating money out of thin air. Compared to taxation, money creation is less easily understood by the average person, so it is far easier for governments to get away with it.

While the rest of us have to work to earn money, government bureaucrats have granted themselves the legal right to create any amount of money they want out of thin air. If you or I tried to do this, we would be arrested for committing the fr...

French Defense Reports Acknowledge Ukraine Is Done With

The French president Macron has recently pushed for an engagement of foreign troops in Ukraine. The idea was immediately rejected by every country that would be able to send a reasonable number.

The question is why Macron suddenly came out with this.

A series of recent reports from the French defense establishment might have caused his irritation.

The French magazine Marianne got access to “several confidential defense reports” from the French army on the situation in Ukraine.

Big Pharma and its Bloomberg News, Annenberg Center, and Harvard University Shills

As I reported recently, now that it can no longer be denied that the Covid “vaccine” causes death and a large variety of serious health effects, Big Pharma and its shills are adjusting the narrative.

A “study” was done admitting the adverse effects of the “vaccine” but pronouncing them to be “rare.” See here.

Next, Bloomberg Misinformation attributed the deaths and damaged health to Covid, not to the “vaccine.” Here is Jason Gale spinning the facts away from the “vaccine” to Covid itself: “I’ve ...

What Does the Presence of the National Guard Around the Country Signal?

The Governor of New York has sent armed troops into the subways of New York City, to keep them safe.

Governor Newsom of California (never to be trusted) says he’s deploying troops along the Cali-Mex border to stop the smuggling of fentanyl into the country.

Governor DeSantis has sent troops to maintain order in Miami during spring break.

All of this—to solve problems that should have been solved long ago:

Breakaway crime and illegal immigration.

Before they got out of hand.

On a deeper level, wh...

House Subpoenas Andrew Cuomo

A few days ago, ABC News reported: Andrew Cuomo subpoenaed by congressional subcommittee investigating COVID-era handling of nursing homes. At the risk of sounding a bit boastful, we documented New York State’s fraudulent, humbug, imbecilic, homicidal pandemic response in our book two years ago.

Many of our readers have told us that Chapter 11 “Cuomosexuals” is simply too preposterous to be believed. And yet, not a single sentence is a matter of controversy. All of the events recounted are thoro...

Electric Cars Pollute 1,850 Times More Than Fuel-Based Vehicles, Study Finds

A 2022 study found that electric vehicles (EVs) which left-leaning governments in Canada, the United States, and elsewhere are pushing on the population, pollute at a rate far higher than their gasoline or diesel-powered counterparts.

The 2022 study from the U.K.-based Emissions Analytics group found that during a 1,000 mile journey, EVs release 1,850 times more pollutants into the surrounding environment than gas-powered vehicles, due to the heavier weight which eats through tires.

While many t...

The Interest Rate Dilemma

Yesterday, US CPI figures came in a little hotter than the market had discounted. I take the view that this is the sort of debate theologians are said to have had about how many angels could dance on a pinhead — a distraction from the real issues.

Gold was marked down by nearly $30, and silver by 40 cents or so. But then gold had been rising spectacularly, and speculators were in for the ride. As you can see from the chart, after its recent performance a reaction in the price was hardly surprisi...

The American Empire in (Ultimate?) Crisis

Empires don’t just fall like toppled trees. Instead, they weaken slowly as a succession of crises drain their strength and confidence until they suddenly begin to disintegrate. So it was with the British, French, and Soviet empires; so it now is with imperial America.

Great Britain confronted serious colonial crises in India, Iran, and Palestine before plunging headlong into the Suez Canal and imperial collapse in 1956. In the later years of the Cold War, the Soviet Union faced its own challenge...
