Gary North, the economist, and voluminous author died on Feb 24 while in hospice care in Georgia. He died of complications of prostate cancer, which he had been fighting since 2017. He died 13 days after his 80th birthday on Feb 11. According to Joshua Jenkins who confirmed the death of Gary North, He was a voluminous researcher and writer who I have benefited from greatly. His books fill my shelves and I have enjoyed them as much as any. Thankful to God for his life and work. Gary North’s obituary and funeral services will be released by the family...

I live in exactly the right location to see the outcome of a grand experiment. The pilot Walmart Supercenter is located in Dallas, Georgia. So am I. On Friday the 13th, the CEO of Walmart cut the ribbon at the grand opening. Sadly, I only learned about this grand opening on the morning of September 14. There had been no publicity while the store was being remodeled over the last 12 months. So, what you are about to read is based on original research conducted on the cheap on the afternoon of September 14. 1. A Right-Hand Turn My house...

what he witnessed. If you love Jesus, what would be your attitude after the first Christian was shot? I know what mine would be. "Let's get this bastard now, or we're all dead." That would also be my reaction if he targeted Muslims. Once the first victim is gunned down, someone had better call all the rest to action, and then rush him. This person is going to get shot. He is going to get shot anyway. This suicide mission requires a call to action. Otherwise, people will remain inert, hoping for the best. The best strategy in an unarmed...

Public Works Mean Taxes For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword (Proverbs 5:3-4). The author of Proverbs in the first nine chapters contrasts the faithful wife with the strange woman. He uses the metaphor of the strange woman for alluring lies that ultimately betray the person who accepts them. Here is the passage’s underlying message: something can look very appealing on the surface, but the end thereof is bitter as wormwood. Why? Because there is a system...

The economic heart of fascism in the 1930's was the "government-private industry alliance." It still is. In this alliance, the state provides limited funds and promotion of favored businesses. The businesses provide profits that are taxed. The state's bureaucrats increase their influence over the economy by way of favored business enterprises. The state is now heralding faith-based welfare. State money is used to favor some ministries, which conform to state requirements. In this way, the churches get "matching funds" from the state, and the state gets another avenue into the lives of the public. There will be more welfare clients,...

Howard Phillips, one of the founders of the New Right movement in the 1970s, died on April 20. The cause was dementia. He died in his home. He was 72. In 1974, he founded the Conservative Caucus. This was a year after Ed Fuelner and Paul Weyrich founded the Heritage Foundation. In 1974, Weyrich started the Committee for the Survival of a Free Congress, which later became the Free Congress Foundation. All three organizations were reactions to Richard Nixon's increasingly mainstream Republican move to the left. A fourth organization, Gun Owners of America, began in 1975. Nixon had hired Phillips...

Former Texas congressman and Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has announced plans for a K–12 curriculum for home-school students that will offer them “an education in liberty like no other.” The first phase set to launch in September, and all subjects will be taught, but the curriculum will put an emphasis on primary-source documents that focus on the “basics of Western Civilization and Western liberty — how it was won, how it is being lost, and how it will be restored” rather than textbooks.

Former Republican congressman and three-time presidential candidate Ron Paul has launched his own K-12 home-school curriculum to provide an “education in liberty like no other.” The curriculum, which includes courses on “the economics of the Austrian school,” provides its K-5 program for free, meaning that students and families will be able to learn under Ron Paul for six years “without spending a dime,” according to one of the curriculum’s high school teachers, Ludwig von Mises Institute senior fellow Tom Woods. “Here, students learn the basics of Western Civilization and Western liberty — how it was won, how it is being...

If Only D'Souza Were Right Mises Daily: Monday, September 03, 2012 by Gary North by Gary North 2016: Obama's America I went to see 2016: Obama's America. Dinesh D'Souza wrote, stars in, directed, narrates, and did the original research for it. If we look at this from the point of view of its success as a documentary, I think it is effective. It is making money in theaters. This is amazing for a documentary. It is a campaign-year documentary, and it is a good one. It is also dead wrong. That is because it misses the fundamental political fact of...

In June of 1976, I was Ron Paul’s speechwriter. Shortly after I joined his staff as his newsletter writer and economic analyst, I recommended that he do what I had been doing for a year: buy a Code-A-Phone telephone answering machine and make a weekly 3-minute recording for people in his districts to call. He could send the tape to his office in the district, where the machine would be set up at a local phone number. Residents could call it for free. He thought this was a good idea. So began his weekly speeches.I wrote his first talk. He...

© 2011 MilitaryCorruption.com When we did our first MilitaryCorruption.com HALL OF FAME item a few weeks back - deceased retired Air Force Capt. Francis Gary Powers - we'd already completed much of the research into the first inductee into our HALL OF SHAME. That was fortunate, since serious illness sidelined and almost put out of action permanently our editor-in-chief, a retired Army Reserve major and 100% disabled (combat-related) multi-tour Vietnam veteran. He is slowly regaining strength to the point where those who had hoped MCC might go under, have been greatly disappointed. In the eleven years this web site has...

First, you must understand that Boehner is a GobGop: a Good Old Boy of the Grand Old Party. The GobGops' goal is to keep the present system funded by the Bigs: Big Business, Big Pharma, Big Oil, and Big Banking. If you do not understand this, then you are as naive as a Democrat who thinks Obama speaks for The Common Man.Boehner shilled for Hank Paulson and Goldman Sachs by begging the Republicans to vote for the $750+ billion Big Bank Bailout in 2008. Watch his emotional performance here. "We just have to do it!" No, they didn't. Ron Paul...

Every political movement needs a manifesto. The Tea Party surely needs one. So do other grassroots political resistance organizations. They don't have it yet, but they now have its preliminary foundation, Angelo Codevilla's essay, "America's Ruling Class -- And the Perils of Revolution." http://GaryNorth.com/snip/997.htm I have long regarded Dr. Codevilla as America's smartest conservative political analyst. He has been unknown to the conservative public until last week, when Rush Limbaugh began promoting the best essay of Codevilla's career. I regard this essay as the finest statement on the two-fold division in American political life written in my lifetime -- more...

http://www.lewrockwell.com/north/north815.html The conclusion of this article I have reprinted here also FIRST: "For the first time since 1914, the Federal Reserve System is under serious attack. The attackers are not members of the World Affairs Council. The attackers are from the hinterlands. The bailouts angered them in October 2008. The bailouts confirmed Ron Paul's warnings in his Presidential campaign. The Web has made it possible for the troops to get mobilized." "The FED has never had to deal with anything like this. It does not know how to respond." ***READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE and the next articke that is indicated...

Community Standards Your problem is a theological one. But you did address a real problem. The problem you addressed is the problem you would not admit. The problem is that the American community agrees with the Supreme Court of the United States. The general American public agrees that abortion should be legal. Maybe it does not agree that the third-trimester abortions should be legal, but it is not going to throw out of office the civil magistrates who enforce the Supreme Court's ruling. In fact, the Supreme Court has authorized third-trimester abortion and any other kind of abortion, but the...

I have lived through three monumental historical events. I remember only two of them. I do not remember the dropping of the two atomic bombs in August of 1945. As symbols of scientific world transformation, this constituted the most momentous event of the 20th century. This breakthrough, so far, has not led to nuclear war, even though on several occasions, it looked as though nuclear war was a distinct possibility. Nevertheless, the arrival of the nuclear age heralded a transformation of the modern world. We have not yet seen the end of that transformation.

“The long-term goal of Christians in politics should be to gain exclusive control over the franchise. Those who refuse to submit publicly to the eternal sanctions of God by submitting to His Church’s public marks of the covenant - baptism and holy communion - must be denied citizenship, just as they were in ancient Israel.” Gary North A leader in the Reconstructionist Movement The Christian reconstructionist movement seeks to gain total control of the United States and to rule under Old Testament law. Under such law, adulterers, gays and Sunday workers would be stoned to death. Anybody who did not...

What is Theonomy? By Jay Rogers Theonomy means literally, "God's law," or the belief that the moral laws of the Old Testament are still binding today. This idea states that only Old Testament laws specifically fulfilled in the New Testament are non-binding (such as sacrificial laws, ceremonial laws and dietary laws). The moral Law of God is still the ethical standard for governing individuals and society. In discussing theonomy, we should first explain clearly what we are not talking about. We are not talking about salvation, but merely government of individuals in society. Salvation cannot come through the Law, but...

Why Darwinists Fear Democracyby Gary Northby Gary North On December 24, I received a letter in response to my obituary for Mel Gabler. Jesus, it's about time the fascist bastard died. I'm a scientist. I know he, and his wife, tried to make science politically correct with the religious crowd by opposing the teaching of evolution in public schools. It took the appearance of Nobel prize winning physicist Steve Weinberg before the Texas School Board textbook committee to undue the damage that the Taliban-like Gablers did to the teaching of evolution. I'm glad the old bastard's dead. As he fries...

I made a big mistake in my report, "Count Your Blessings." I forgot about members of one of the largest religious organizations in America, Slogans for God. The SFG crowd let me have it, good and hard. One reader complained: HELLO, WHAT WORLD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT FOR THESE BLESSING. SEEM LIKE YOU LEFT OUT SOMETHING. THESE SEEM LIKE MAN’S BLESSING AND NOT GOD’S BLESSING. When you belong to SFG, grammar is not a top priority. Self-confidence is. Maggie was among the more self-confident. You left out the First Commandment: "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" – neither...
