Tom Woods : Where Do Rights Come From?

January 29, 2010

Tom Woods gives us a philosophy lesson on where rights come from.

Toms successfully argues that it is impossible to have any collective ownership rights and points out the flawed logic of collectivist theories.

Tom also shows us that our rights do not come from government or a piece of paper; they arise from the very fact we are rational beings within this natural world.




In response to this speech Obama regulatory czar Cass Sunstein released this statement:

“My major aim in this book is to uncover an important but neglected part of America’s heritage: the idea of a second bill of rights. In brief, the second bill attempts to protect both opportunity and security, by creating rights to employment, adequate food and clothing, decent shelter, education, recreation, and medical care.”

Sunstein went on to argue that rights don’t actually arise from the natural world but from groups of people banding together in acts of looting. Sunstein claimed that only government can give us our rights, thus without government, no rights would exist; therefore, we must have unlimited government in order to give us unlimited rights.

Strategic Default and Walk Away from that Albatross of a Mortgage -- In reality, in law school they teach people that contracts are purely economic decisions. That is, if a contract states that if you stop paying the bank gets the home back then that is really all there is to it. Yet there is still a social stigma and recent research shows that people stay in their home for this reason. If people would simply run the numbers, it would be obvious that they should walk away.

Can Police Search Your Cell Phone without a Warrant? -- Modern cell phones do a great deal more than simply send and receive calls. They're sophisticated personal computers with the same capabilities, and more, of a laptop PC. You can use them to send and receive e-mail and instant messages, browse the Internet, keep track of your appointments, take photos and videos, etc. If you think that any of this information is "private" in the sense that it's legally protected, think again. In most cases, it's not, especially if you're arrested.

Roubini Sees ‘Dismal’ Growth as Summers Rues ‘Human Recession’ -- “The headline number will look large and big, but actually when you dissect it, it’s very dismal and poor,” Roubini said in a Jan. 30 Bloomberg Television interview following a U.S. Commerce Department report that showed economic expansion of 5.7 percent in the fourth quarter. “I think we are in trouble.” Roubini, who chairs New York-based Roubini Global Economics LLC, has become famous for his pessimistic projections. In 2007, he correctly predicted a “hard landing” for the world economy. He said last year that the global recession would shrink through 2009, only for growth to resume in the middle of the year.

Beware Counterfeiters -- Today’s gold market is significantly different from the gold market of the 1970s for two reasons: 1) Central Banks are more likely to be buyers of gold today and 2) They clearly have little ability to dramatically raise interest rates with the massive increases in government issued debt. Thus, it is easy to envision a similar twenty-five fold increase in the gold price that was seen between 1970 and 1980, which would result in a gold price today above $6,000 per ounce.

Taiwan Navy maintains unidentified object not a Chinese submarine

Taiwan News, Staff Writer
2010-02-01 03:06 PM


TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – The Navy said Monday the unidentified object spotted under water near its top base last week was not a Chinese submarine or a sea mammal.

A newspaper reported Sunday that an anti-submarine helicopter found a submarine within Taiwanese territorial waters near the naval base of Tsoying during military maneuvers on January 27. As soon as the Navy called on the submarine to identify itself, it fled out of the area without responding, leading to suspicions it came from China, the reports said.


The Navy denied the report, saying sonar showed up an unidentified object which could not have been a submarine.


On Monday, 168th Fleet Commander Lee Tung-fang said the object did not dive rapidly to escape detection, but continued on its course at a speed of 2 nautical miles an hour. The data told the Navy that there were no submarines, whales or dolphins involved, Lee said.


The 168th fleet had originally been patrolling off Taiwan’s east coast, but was called to the area off Kaohsiung’s Tsoying base to participate in anti-submarine drills, he said.

The area in the Taiwan Straits was difficult terrain for finding submarines, the senior officer told reporters. His unit had previous experience with locating underwater objects inside Taiwanese territorial waters which later turned up not to be submarines, according to Lee.Over the past few years, Chinese spy ships have often appeared around Taiwanese waters. Taipei has requested to buy diesel-electric submarines from the United States, but they were not included in a US$6.4 billion weapons package for Taiwan announced by the Obama Administration last Friday.

Chavez to allocate $1 billion to shake up energy industry

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has said the Latin American state would allocate some $1 billion to maintain the country's energy sector and avert the threat of a devastating power collapse, a local newspaper has said.

Venezuela's energy industry faces serious problems due to last year's dry spell caused by low precipitation during the May-November rainy season. As a result of the drought, the water level at the Guri Dam, which produces 73% of the country's electricity, dropped 10 meters (33 feet).

Earlier, the state-run Corpoelec energy company said if the water level of the Guri water reservoir, located in Venezuela's largest Bolivar state, continues falling, the country's energy system could collapse as early as in May 2010.

In early January, Chavez urged the government to keep the water level at the dam from falling to a critical level that would cause its electricity-generating turbines to fail.

The Venezuelan authorities urged measures to reduce energy consumption in the country by 1700 megawatts, but have only managed to reach a 980-megawatt reduction.

Chavez was quoted by the Universal newspaper as saying the funds the country would allocate were to be spent on the development of 109 energy projects, including 59 in the sphere of power production and transmission.

According to expert estimates, some $18 billion is needed to meet the country's electricity demand.

Iran to unveil five space projects


Feb 1 2010 - Iran will unveil five space projects at ceremonies starting on Monday to celebrate the victory of the Islamic Revolution of 1979, Fars news agency said.

On the third day of the festivities, known as the "Ten Days of Dawn", Iranian authorities will hold on Wednesday a presentation of the Tolou (Rise) satellite, the Mesbah-2 and Mehdi research satellites, and the engine for the Simurgh booster rocket, all of which were domestically built.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the country's defense officials will also attend the opening of a mission control designed to process data from the satellites.

Tehran is expected to launch the Mesbah-2 in 2011 as part of the country's ambitions to run an independent space program.

Iran's first research satellite, Omid (Hope), designed for gathering information and testing equipment, was orbited last February during the country's annual celebration and successfully completed its mission on April 25, 2009.

In 2005, Iran launched its first commercial satellite, Sina-1, into orbit from a Russian rocket. Moscow appears to be Iran's major partner in transferring space technology to the Islamic country.

The festivities will culminate on February 11, the date when revolutionary forces led by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini defeated pro-government troops in armed street clashes.

NATO says Afghan baby killed during night raid operation in central Afghanistan

KABUL (AP) - NATO says an Afghan baby has been killed and a woman was wounded during a NATO-Afghan night raid operation targeting militants in central Afghanistan.

According to a statement from the international force, the casualties occurred Saturday when the joint force came under fire from several locations as it approached a compound in Uruzgan province, prompting a gunbattle.

The statement said a woman with minor wounds and a baby with fatal injuries were found following the battle. Four suspected insurgents also were killed.

U.S. Army Col. Wayne Shanks, a NATO spokesman, expressed regret for "this tragic loss of innocent life."

U.S. officials have said the top NATO commander, U.S. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, plans to issue a new directive on night raids soon.

London conference neglects Afghanistan's opium problem


MOSCOW. (RIA Novosti) Jan 29 2010 - Like every other Afghanistan conference, the sixth conference in London on January 28 did not discuss the country's opium problem.

However, refusing to discuss Afghanistan's opium problem is like discussing reconciliation in Colombia without touching on the cocaine trade which has sustained rebels for a long time.


1 Billion payoff to the Taliban

Fascist Soup
January 31, 2010

Al Jazeera is reporting what readers of this blog already know.

Our criminal government funds and arms the insurgent movement in Afghanistan.

The US Constitution defines treason:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

Our criminal government is proposing:

…a plan is being considered to pay up to $1bn to Taliban fighters to persuade them to lay down their arms.

In advance of an international conference in London to discuss Afghanistan’s future on Thursday, Japan, the United States and Britain are said to be leading the proposal.

The scheme would offer cash, jobs and other incentives to the Taliban and fighters in other armed groups.

“The sum could be as much as between $500m and $1bn over the next five years”, Al Jazeera’s James Bays, reporting from London, said.

Can any one tell me how this is not high treason?

I can actually taste the outrage in my mouth right now as I read this. Pretty much a first for me. The level of brazen hubris and open contempt for the American troops is absolutely stunning.

Arming the insurgents and openly funding them by paying off supply routes just isn’t enough! We need a billion dollars in bribe money to ensure the war continues forever!



PAKISTAN

Pakistani Taliban chief AGAIN reported killed

February 1, 2010 - The Independent

The Pakistani military is investigating reports that Hakimullah Mehsud, the leader of the Pakistani Taliban, has died from injuries sustained in an attack by a drone aircraft.

Mehsud's compound was targeted by the US military on 14 January; he was believed to have been injured as a result. His death, which has been denied by the Taliban, would be a major breakthrough for both Pakistan and the US.

Hakimullah first came to prominence as a Taliban commander in 2007, and has proved to be a highly skilled and media-savvy leader ever since. In one interview with Pakistan's Geo TV, he offered a reporter a choice of two gifts: a captured Nato Humvee or a Jeep stolen from the UN.

In 2007, he masterminded an attack on the Pakistani army which resulted in the capture of 300 Pakistani soldiers. Last year, he appeared in a video alongside an al-Qa'ida double-agent who killed seven CIA officers in Afghanistan.

Twice in the past year Mehsud has been reported killed, once by a missile fired by a US drone, but both times he later made an appearance, in a Taliban video and at several press conferences, to prove the reports wrong.

U.S. steps up arms sales to Persian Gulf allies

The Obama administration is quietly working with Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf allies to speed up arms sales and rapidly upgrade defenses for oil terminals and other key infrastructure in a bid to thwart future military attacks by Iran [start another war for oil], according to former and current U.S. and Middle Eastern government officials. The initiatives, including a U.S.-backed plan to triple the size of a 10,000-man protection force in Saudi Arabia, are part of a broader push that includes unprecedented coordination of air defenses and expanded joint exercises between the U.S. and Arab militaries, the officials said. All appear to be aimed at increasing pressure on Tehran. The efforts build on commitments by the George W. Bush administration to sell warplanes and antimissile systems to friendly Arab states to counter Iran's growing conventional arsenal.

Defense Secretary Cohen's 1997 Warning about Scalar EM Geotechnical Terrorism

“Others [terrorists] are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves… So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations…It's real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify our [counterterrorism] efforts.”

The United Nations is just a debating society and a 'front' for banks

"Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government."
Dr. Henry Kissinger, Bilderberger Conference, Evians, France, 1991

Kissinger Genocide Report 1974 NSSM

You Are In the Way. It’s that simple.

US foreign policy became very clear in the December 10, 1974 National Security Study Memorandum, “NSSM 200, Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests” also called the Kissinger Document. In it, an explicit policy by which the US would promote rapid population decline in 13 countries was articulated. Kissinger’s now famous (and declassified) quote sums up the elaborate plan:

“Depopulation should be the highest priority of foreign policy towards the third world, because the US economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less developed countries.”

NSSM 200 became official US policy in November 1975 under President Gerald Ford. Birth control, war and famine were all tools to serve US access to mineral resources without impediments caused by third word populations who were to be eliminated. Brent Scowcroft, Kissinger’s replacement as National Security Adviser was put in charge of implementing the plan. CIA Director George Bush was ordered to assist Scowcroft, along with the Secretaries of State, Treasury, Defense, and Agriculture. READ MORE
