By Michael Krieger: In 2017, I wrote a lot about how dangerously centralized our political system in the U.S. has become, and how we need to decentralize governance in order to restore power, liberty and policy experimentation to the local level. This notion that a sprawling and culturally diverse nation of 325 million individuals should constantly battle to the death over the ring of political power in Washington D.C. so as to impose their view on the other half of the country which completely disagrees is patently ludicrous. States, and even metro areas themselves, should be making most of the important decisions that impact their citizens’ lives on a day to day basis. This isn’t complicated. People who live in Boulder, Colorado such as myself have a very distinct worldview on most things from the average resident of let’s say Houston, Texas. This isn’t to say one is superior to the other, we’re just talking generally different mindsets and cultures. The residents of these distinct places should be able to express themselves via policy in a way that most fits the desires and values reflective of these particular regions. While this does happen to some degree, all U.S. citizens are still beholden to the whims of centralized political power in Washington D.C. to a very unhealthy and dysfunctional degree.
Kristian Rouz: A new report details a stunning gender pay gap among Clinton Foundation employees, casting a shadow of doubt over Hillary Clinton's stance on women's rights. One American's.
By Christopher Hope: White male ministers risk being 'hoofed out' to make way for women and
minority ethnic MPs in the reshuffle, Tory MP Philip Davies has
complained.
Theresa May’s reshuffle has created a "legitimate concern" that
white, male ministers have been "hoofed out" to make way for women or
minority ethnic MPs "because they are a white male", the Shipley MP
told The Telegraph. The Prime Minister is mid-way through a "refresh" of her Government
which is expected to increase the number of female MPs and those from a
black or ethnic minority background. Mr Davies, a member of the House of Commons Women and Equalities
committee, said the reshuffle had created “a legitimate concern that
some people may feel they have been hoofed out or not promoted simply
because they are a white male”.
By Paul Craig Roberts: In 1953 Washington and Britain overthrew the democratically elected government of Mohammad Mosaddegh and installed a dictator to rule Iran for the benefit of Washington and the British. In declassified documents, the CIA has admitted its role in overthrowing the Iranian government. The overthrow pattern is always the same. Washington hires protesters, then introduces violence, controls the explanation, and unseats the government. Ever since the Iranian Revolution that overthrew the Washington-installed dictator in1979, Washington has been trying to regain control of Iran. In 2009 Washington financed the “Green Revolution,” which was an attempt to overthrow the Ahmadinejad government. Today Washington is again at work against the Iranian people. It is difficult to believe that any Iranian, after watching what Washington-organized protests have done to Honduras, Libya, Ukraine, and Syria, have attempted to do to Iran in 2009, and is attempting to do today to Venezuela, could possibly in good faith go out into the streets against their own government. Are these Iranian protesters utterly stupid or are they hired to commit treason against their country? Why does Iran permit foreign-funded operatives to attempt to destabilize the government as Ukraine did and as Venezuela does today? Are these governments so brainwashed by the West that they think that democracy means permitting foreign agents to attempt to overthrow the government? Are governments so intimidated by the Western presstitutes that they find it challenging to defend themselves against foreign-paid provocateurs?

By Gilad Atzmon: I never sign petitions or urge people to do so, but this one is too important. We used to live in a free society. We used to love ourselves being free. We must reinstate elementary liberties now before it is too late. I do not know who initiated this petition but I am convinced that hate should be fought with ethics rather than laws. Similarly "Ideas must be fought with other ideas, not with force." Create a Freedom of Speech Act and Bring an End to "Hate Speech" laws Please follow this link: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/203615 For several years now the government has been infringing peoples' most basic rights to speak freely on matters, by deeming their speech "offensive" or "hateful" and declaring that such speech, even online, warrants being fined or jailed. This is an outrage. More details We demand the legal right to Free Speech, in an Act which will bring an end to the ludicrous notion that "hate speech" and "offensive speech" deserves people be imprisoned or charged. In short, an Act to codify the citizens' right to freedom of speech without government intervention. Ideas must be fought with other ideas, not with force.
By Tyler Durden:It has been five months since James Damore was fired from his job as an engineer at Google after posting a memo to an internal message board that criticized the company's diversity policies for ignoring differences between the sexes (and daring to use facts to back up his statements on the differences between the sexes). And now, amid the ever-escalating identity politics of the new normal America, TechCrunch reports Damore, along with another former Google engineer named David Gudeman, who spent three years with Google, working on a query engine, has filed a class action lawsuit against the company in Santa Clara Superior Court in Northern California. His claims: that Google unfairly discriminates against white, conservative men. The lawsuit, filed by Dhillon Law Group, says it aims to represent all employees of Google who’ve been discriminated against due to their “perceived conservative political views by Google,” due to “their male gender by Google” and “due to their Caucasian race by Google.” TechCrunch notes that Damore isn’t holding back any punches here.
By Author Douglas Galbi: Fathers 4 Justice emerged early in the twenty-first century as super-courageous social justice advocates. Fathers, however, generally have done little to advocate for men. Because of favoritism toward women, love for grandchildren, and gender inequality in parental knowledge, fathers typically favor cuckolding husbands over justice for men. A medieval Latin story from the fifteenth-century churchman Poggio Bracciolini perceptively highlights the problem. A nobleman divorced his wife after a few years because she hadn’t become pregnant. In many countries today, either spouse can unilaterally terminate a marriage without needing any reason. However, in medieval Europe, spouses needed a valid reason for divorce. Infertility was a valid reason. Divorce for infertility didn’t necessarily imply blame on either party. The wife’s father initially blamed her for the divorce. He thought she had behaved improperly:
her father secretly reproached her for not having given herself freely to others for the work of creation. { objurgavit eam secreto pater, quod non, et cum aliis, creandis liberis operam dedisset. } [1]
