Death of the Dollar
40 years ago former President Nixon was fighting inflation and overwhelming war costs and with that he ended the last remnants of the gold standard. At that time Nixon claimed he was defending the dollar but his critics said it was one of the most damaging decisions in modern economic history. Are we feeling the effects of this decision four decades later?

Ron Paul on Lew Rockwell Radio
Forget the other cookie-cutter candidates. Ron Paul is challenging the economics of government power and dollar destruction, as exemplified by John Maynard Keynes. He wants to reverse Nixon's dictat, that "we are all Keynesians now," and make that "Austrians." He also finds new support for his exposure of Fed abuses, and opposition to the Christian right theology of endless war.

Rule of Law? We Don't Need No Stinkin' Rule of Law
Brian Wilson interviews Lew Rockwell on WSPD.
Government is not exempt from moral law. Murder, kidnapping, theft, prison, torture, execution, assassinations, corruption of judges, and telling the big lies followed by cover up are all business as usual for our elective dictatorship regime. Rather than baying at the moon and dancing in the streets painted blue, white and red, over what might have been the take down of Osama bin Laden, more Americans should get skeptical about government blather. Most may not really want liberty, but thinking minorities accomplish everything. Ron Paul's newest book Liberty Defined gives us the unstoppable weapon -- the truth.

The mainstream media are "simply mouthpieces for the state. The mainstream American media is about as independent from the U.S. Government as Pravda and Izvestia were in the old days of the Soviet Union."

Lew Rockwell: Down With the Presidency
While not recent, this is one of my favorite Rockwell columns ever. It is simply a classic. Every word of it is pure truth.
The modern institution of the presidency is the primary political evil Americans face, and the cause of nearly all our woes. It squanders the national wealth and starts unjust wars against foreign peoples that have never done us any harm. It wrecks our families, tramples on our rights, invades our communities, and spies on our bank accounts. It skews the culture toward decadence and trash. It tells lie after lie. Teachers used to tell school kids that anyone can be president. This is like saying anyone can go to Hell. It’s not an inspiration; it’s a threat.
The presidency – by which I mean the executive State – is the sum total of American tyranny. The other branches of government, including the presidentially appointed Supreme Court, are mere adjuncts. The presidency insists on complete devotion and humble submission to its dictates, even while it steals the products of our labor and drives us into economic ruin. It centralizes all power unto itself, and crowds out all competing centers of power in society, including the church, the family, business, charity, and the community. I’ll go further. The US presidency is the world’s leading evil.
